Advices from Boton tat that Hell telephone stock advanced from 195 3220 to 260 under the influence o the decision. OTHEE DECISIONS. Immediately fter the conclusion of reading of the opinions in the telephone cases. Justice Lamar began the reading of bis first opinion as a member of the TTnited States Supreme Court, the cane decided being No. 1C3. the Missouri 2?iver Packet Company vs. the Hannibal & St. Joe Railroad Company. The point involved was the construction to be civn to a law of Congress authorizing the building of a bridge for the use of the railroad company across the Missouri river at Kansas C'ty. The judgment of the Supreme Coort of Missouri, in favor of the Hannibal & St. Joe Railroad Company, was affirmed. A decision was also rendered in the case of Bowmaa Brothers vs. The Chicago & Northtrestern itailroad Company, which involves the validity 01 a statnte of Iowa forbidding a railroad company to bring intoxicating liqnor into that Stat, unless suer. company has been fornisbed with a certificate from the auditor of the county to which the liquor is to be transported showing that the consignee is legally authorized to sell it. The court holds that the power to regulat or forbid the sale of a commodity after it has been brought into a State does not carry with it the rieht "and power to prevent its introduction bv transportation from another Stat. The section of the Iowa statute of April 5, 1886, which prohibits railroad companies from bringing liquor into the State, is therefore declared to be invalid, end the judgment of the United States Circuit Coort for tlie Northern district of Illinois is reversed. The Chief justice and Justices Gray and Harlan dissented, i A decision wa also rendered by the court, in the case of the Citv of Chicago vs. Catharine A. .Taylor et aL This was a suit for injuries alleged to have been caused to property by the ionstrnction of a sewer in Eighteenth street, in Chicago. The jndgment of the Circuit Court in favor of the complainant is affirmed. The court also decided the case of the "Willamette Bridge Company vs. Hatch et al. This was a suit for an injunction to restrain the bridge company from constructing a bridge across the Willamette river between Portland and East Portland, Oregon. This court holds that the original suit was not one arisiog under any law of ta United States and that therefore th lower conrt was without jurisdiction. The case i remanded, with instructions to reverse the decree in the original suit and dismiss the bill filed therein without prejudice to any other proceeding which may be taken. A decision was alo rendered in the case of the Western Union Telegraph Company against the Attortey-general of Maseacusetts. This was a suit to eofnrce the collection of a tax levied by the authorities of the State upon the telegraph eororany, and for the purpose of enjoining that Company from the further operation of its telegraph lines within the limits of the State until the tax should be paid. This court holds
that the tax Assessed agaiist the company is a valid tax, the judgment of the court below "that the sum claimed c-y the plaintiff to be due for axe. namely $10,618, he paid to said State by the company with interest thereon," is without error, and so mnch of the judgment is affirmed. That part of" the decree of the Circuit Court, however, which awards an injunction to restrain the company from carrying on its busines in the Sta'e until the tax shall be paid, is reversed, for the reason that if Congress bad authority to say that the company might . construct and operate is telegraph over these postroads, aa we have repeatedly held it had, the State can have no authority to say that it shall cot be done. STATE AND FEDERAL CONTROL. The Senate Jndidary Committee Makes an Adverse Report on Mr. Frye'e Sill. Washington, March 19. The bill introduced by Mr. Frye, to apply the laws of the several States relating to the sale of distilled and fermented liquors to such liquors when they bave been imported as well as when manufactured in the United States, was reported adversely hy Senator George, to-day, from the committee on judiciary. A minority report was also printed. After a long discussion of the question the majority came to the following conclusion: '"It should not betoverlooked that the province of State controlover what concerns the police regulations of domestic health, peace and general good order and well-being within each State is, under the Constitution, as secure aeaint intrusion from federal authority as the regulation of foreign commerce by the general government is from encroachment upon that province by State authority. In the opinion of the committee it is beat to leave the question as it now is a judicial one, in the highest interest of both the federal regulations of commerce and the State control of its police authority." A minority report, signed by Senators James P. WKson, In galls and Edmunds, says it would seem that the legislative and judicial departments of the government concur in the answer tnat the character of legislation presented by this bill is within the constitutional power of Congress; that it does not violate the injunction of the Constitution that "all duties imports and excises t ball be nniform throughout the United States." An importer of ardent spirits, or of any other article of foreign production, is entitled to no further protection under the Constitution than is the dealer in like articles of domestic manufacture. The one pays an internal-revenue tax. the other pays a tax levied by the enstora-house, and what Congress may constitutionally say abont one it may repeat as to the other. There is nothing in the1 bill, the minority concjudes, which suggests a violation of the rule of uniformity prescribed by the Constitution. It proposes no new departure in the legislation of Congress. MINOR MATTERS. Opening: of Rids for Interior Finish of tbe New Albany Fnblio Building. fpecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

At night he went home, and informed his wife that he was the "boss of the house," and commenced smashing furniture, breaking dishes and throwing things around in a lively manner. He made his wife leave home and take the two children, who were ill with measles. To hurry her along he threw a plate at her, striking her on the nose and upper lip, cutting through to the bone, making an ugly wound. She fled to a neighbor's house, and from there sent alter the officers, who were soon upon the premises. Foreman had made preparations for their arrival, and locked us the house, put out the light, and stood in the room with an ax waiting thsm. Marshal Ensminger found tbe doors locked. He broke down the front door and started to enter. The room beiHg dark, Ensminger could not see Foreman. Just as Ensminger crossed the threshold Foreman Btruck at him with the ax, which grazed the marshal's head, cut his eolUr in twain and crushed into his shoulder. This crippled Ensminger somewhat.

',1 Soecial to the lndianaoolls Journal. Montpelier, Marco" 19. A weighty question is a theme of turmoil among the citizen of Wells county. Many free gravel roads have been built in the-county on the "assessment" plan, and those who now have roads on this plan on which they have been assessed object to the proposed plan which makes the connty furnish the gravel for roads and builds them by supervisor road work. They have paid for roads' on the assessment plan and object to assisting in tbe new way. This state of affairs has created a degree of bitterness that threatens to disrupt county politics and cast lit j the, four winds. At a Republican convention at Keystone, three miles north of here, Saturday, wherein a trustee was to be nominated, tne gravel question came uo and matters waxed so hot that the meeting adjourned without making a nomination. Tbe Democrats are in full as bad shape, and politicians are all torn up in an effort to straighten up the difficulty.

The weight was great, and had it fallen a little sooner the loss of life would have been large. At least forty persons were occupying the space crushed by tne fall, and certainly none of them could have escaped death or very serious injury. The natural gas in the stoves had been turned entirely off or the building would .most certainly bave been burned. The damage to tbe building is quite large, but will be repaired at once. The building was erected in 1875. and the wreck of yesterday shows the work not to have been properly done. Cantur-d by Friends. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Noblesville, March 19.

New York Letter to Savannah News. India shawls are coming in again. They are not worn on the street to any great extent, but make tbeir appearance as carriape wraps or robes. One of the most noteworthy of these shawls in the country is owned bv Lilli Lehmann, who has not yet grown used to her new name of Mme. Kaiisch, lately assumed under circumstances which shame th cynics who proclaim that romance has vanished out of the world. Mme. Kalisch's shawl was given her years ago at the very outset of a career as a singer by a native Indian Rajah, pensioned off by the British who bad dispossessed bim and who was consoling himself bv a somewhat melancholy European tfur. His Rajahship beard FrL Lehmann in Berl in, was bewitched by her voice and sent her the shawl as a token of approval- It is a heavy article, too heavy for ordinary wear, with threads of real gold and silver woveu into it. Like all true Indian shawls it has a composite history, being made up of hundreds of nieces, each woven by a separate workman, who took months or yars to bring that single scrap to perfection. The rich, dull Oriental colors harmonize delightfully, an.i it is none the less valuable for having srved an apprenticeship, in all probability, as the way of India shawls is, as a sash or a girdle twisted about thw loins of a half-barbaric Easterner. Its like eould hardly be matched in the market for $5,000. ,am Business Kinbarraemepta. Aberdeen. Miss., March 19. The lacking house of Goldman & Co. failed to-day.

THE EAILR9AD STRIKES.
Business Fully Resumed on the Santa Fe Chairman Co roe Declines to Telle. Kansas City, March 19. That the Santa Fe system is' already in its normal condititn is amply evidenced by the annjuncement that freight of ail kinds will be accepted to-morrow. Tbe men in the yards have been very busy all day in clearing up the accumulated freight business. All trains are sent out promptly. ancT everything is working smoothly again. Stormy weather prevails in tbe surrounding country, and ail trains are more or less belated. It is sleeting here to-night, and it is reported that there is a snow-storm in Kansas. Mr. S. M. Stevens, the confidential associate of Mr. Arthur, returned from Chicago to-day, and will supervise the management of the Burlington strike at this point. "What is tbe'e in the report that a compromise was effected with the engineers, in which the Santa Fe agrees not to handle Burlington business!" was asked of Superintendent Spoor. "There is nothing in it. There was no compromise whatever. The facts are simply that the men were ordered back by Mr. Con roe. If any request was made not to handle Burlington freight, it was not answered. I bave received no orders in regard to the matter. When the strike was declared, I received orders not to receive any freight during its continnance, and that order bas not yet been rescinded. Our yards are blockaded with freight, and until we get this moved we will not be in fchape to receive any more. Chicago, March 19. Chairman Conroe, of the general grievance committee of the Santa Fe system, tbe man who ordered the big strike, arrived in the city to day. Mr. Conroe at once had an interview with Chief Arthur, but what passed between them was not divulged. Mr. Arthur would not talk on that point, nor would tbe new arrival from the wild West. "The men on the Santa Fe bave all gone bark to work," Mr. Conroe said, "and we don't anticipate any further trouble," "What was the strike about out there?" "I don't want to talk about that now." "Mr. Smith said you violated an agreement in striking on ten minutes' notice'!" "You are treading on delicate ground now. I have no time to talk just now at all," and Mr. Conroe dodged into Chief Arthur's private room, or was rather dragged in by some Brotherhood men who were with him. "I had a talk with Chief Arthur and Chairman Conroe for a few minutes, said Vicepresident Smith, of the Santa Fe road, to-day. ' Chief Arthur had very little to say. He simply accompanied Mr. Conroe. Conroe expressed himself as being very sorry that the strike, if it can be called a strike, bad occurred, and glad that matters were all rignt again." "What did he say was tbe reason for calling out the men?" "He said it was against his personal judetuent and advice, but the men insisted upon doioc something to help out the Burlington strikers, and he was compelled to obey thoir wishes." "Has the entente cordiale been resumed between the Santa Fe and the Brotherhood?" "Our relations are of the most friendly character. Nothing but the best of feeling was shown this morning in the short conference we had." Toper, a, Kan., March 19. The Board of Railroad Commissioners sent the following congratulatory telegram to Chief Arthur to-day: "We desire to express to you our approval of the law-abiding and conservative position which you have assumed in regard to the strike of the Santa Fe engineers. We are informed and believe that your conservative action is approved by 95 per cent, of the locomotive engineers of that ro?id and almost all the business men of this entire State. We feel that the publie and business sympathy and respect, will be with yon as long as the administration of your order is conducted by the conservative element, and, upon toe other band, whenever its administration is surrendered to an element which ignores those duties to the great public, it will cease to retain the punlie and business sympathy, which means the destruction of the order. James Humphrey, "A LSI E BIN G I LL ETT. Albert R. Green, "Railroad Commissioners of Kansas." General Manager Goddard issued an order, late this afternoon, restoring all the suspended clerks and other employes to work, With pay during the time they were suspended.

Acting upon the advice of the court, Receiver Dudley this morning closed the shops and general offices of tbe Central Iowa railway in this city, laying off all tbe employes here and along the line, except enough to guard the property and handle the passenger service. Tins is the result of the tie up of the freight traffic and is the receiver's only alternative, as without freight earnings there would be nothing to meet the pay-roll. Notice has been given to the striking engineers to report at 8 o'clock to-morrow for work or be discharged. The lay-off affects one thousand employes. A Sudden Summons. Mason City, Iowa, March 19. Engineers Freeman and Baker, Chiefs of the Brotherhood on tbe Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, have been called suddenly to Chicago, leaving their engines in the middle of their runs.

A MILLION Alltirs TOMB. The Magnificent Matiaoteum Which Senator St in ford Is Krectinr. Washington Special. The architect who planned the magnificent mausoleum of Senator Stanford, at San Francisco, was in Washington last week. He says that it will be the most elaborate repository for the dead ever built in this country. The beautiful mausoleum of Jay Gould -t Woodlawn, and ths magnificent tomb of the Vanderbilta at Hu genots, Staten island, will all be eclipsed by this work of monumental art. In style of architecture, the simple but effective methods of the ancient Egyptians will be followed. Massive, imperishable granite, f a light shade of gray, with an interior lining Ihe finest Italian marble, will be employed. js item of expense has not been considered, je designers being given carte blanche as to cost, and directed to secure the best or material and workmanship to be badv The total outlay necessary to complete the tomb and prepare the surroundings will reach $100,000, and may considerably exceed that amount. The item of transportation alone (will be a large one, as the granite will all be shipped from Vermont and the marble from Italy. The site selected is a beantiful four-acre plot in the Senator's grounds just outside of San Francisco. It already contains handsome shrubbery, and occupies an altitude commanding a magnificent view of the bay. A drive way sixty feet wide will be made, circling sround a slight elevation, on the brow" of which will be the tomb. Tbe art of the landscape gardner will be employed to beautify tne approaches and render even more effective the vistas of the nark. The structurejwill be in tbe form of a temple and will be twenty-five feet square. There will be a double. row of massive granite columns supporting the roof cf the portico at the front. On each side of the entrance will be a raajestio sphinx carved from a single block of granite. Heavy bronze gates close the entrance, and within are solid doors of polished granite. The roof and sides are also of granite, and are to he built in the most substantial manner. The stone employed is the Barre granite, from Barre, Vt. It has a slight bluish-gray tint, which shows delicate carving to advantage and retains its color without change. Each block was cot the requisite shape at the quarry, and marked to designate its position. Tbey were then boxed, to prevent injury, and shipped to San Francisco. All of the main portions of the structure bave been sent on, and work on the excavation for tbe tomb bas been commenced. The carving of the sphinxes, and the more delicate portions of the stone-work, have been done in this city.under the direction of Messrs. Oaterson & Clark, the designers of the tomb. The two majestic sphinxes are admirably done, and as worthy guardians of the ashes of an American money king as their prototypes wera of the remains of the ancient Ptolemies. The interior of the mausoleum will be done iu white marble. The ceiling will be a single arch of marble, with a span of twenty-five feet. There will be no crypts or vaults, and provision wid be mads for the remains of only three persons those of the Senator and Mrs. Stanford and the son. These will occupy sarcophagi placed on the three sides of the chamber. The body of the son, over which Dr. Talmage preached the funeral ora'ion nearly two years ago, is now in a receiving vault in San Francisco awaitmg ih completion of the tomb. The sarcophagi are being made In Italy; each one will be hewn from a single block of the purest white marble. The lid will be made of a separate piece, and the exterior ornaments with the most exquisite carving. The caskets containing the bodies will be inclosed in a leaden casing before being placed in the sarcophagus. Each receptacle will contain an appropriate inscription, and the name "Stanford" will t appear over tbe entrance. The mausoleum will be completed during tbe coming summer, and, when finished, will be a fitting abode for the remains of one of the most successful mtii of tbe dvy; a railroad magnate, a millionaire and a philanthropist, who is buildIne a university that will cost btwen $15,000.000 and $20,000 000; a man who livs magnificently, with wealth and friends, and everything that makes life worth living, yet who has bad the great sorrow of losing his son, his only child, and when he and bis wife are called to another world, and their remains occupy their stately tomb, the family history will end. Andy Johuson's Grave. Philadelphia News. Andy Johnson's grave is at Greenville, Tenn. It is on one of the highest bluffs in the vicinity of the town, and tbe tall, eagle-crowned shaft that marks the spot can be seen from the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia railroad for several miles. Travelers approaching the town watch for it with eager eyes. The lot is neatly inclosed with an iron fence and the inclof-ure contains in addition to the principal shaft several smaller monuments. Several children of the dead President are buried around bim, and the lot throughout bears evidence of the most sedulous care and attention. The most imposing feature of the shaft is the bronze eagle on the top. Its head is turned toward the Appalachain range grandly bine in the distance and its wings are spreading as though the great American bird was preparing to fly away to the pine-covtrei ravines of tbe mountains. In tbe foreground is the quaint little town of Greenville a sleepy village just awakening front a Rio Van Winkle sleep of twenty years and a half as much more. It was in this little town that Andy Johnson lived and followed his trade, and a laded 8iri on an old-fashioned house still bears the legend: "A. Johnson, Tailor." There is some reverence for old things in Greenville, and the faded sign is sacred. Potter Was tbe Better Alan. Chicago Times. When the Vanderbilt linos wanted the late T. J.

What will you go for? Mr. Potter (unhesitatingly) Forty thousand dollars a year and full power to do as I please. Mr. Newell What! Forty thousand dollars" a year! Why, that is more than I get as president of the Lake Shore! Mr. Potter (again unhesitatingly) Well, that may be, but, then, you know, I am a better man. A. Fertineut 8ugj;estion.
