On the 7th of April last the inter state commerce commission heard the complaint of William II. Heard, colored, against the Georgia railroad company. The charges involved in the complaint were that in traveling over the defendant's road from Augusta to Atlanta the petitioner was com pelled to accept second-class accommodations, being obliged to occupy a compartment car, although he had purchased a ticket which guar anteed him first-class accommodations. The commission, in an opinion by Mr. Bragg rendereil to-day. holds as follows: 1. It is a lawful duty that a carrier, like the defendant, owes to the traveling public in car rying out its rule of furnishing separate cars to white and colored passengers on its fine en gaged in interstate travel, to make them equal in comforts, accommodation, and equipment without any discrimination. 2. It is a lawful duty that a carrier, like the defondant, owes to the traveling public en gaged in interstate travel over its line, to afford the equal protection of the law alike to all such passengers, without regard to race, color, or sex. against undue prejudice and disadvantage from disorderly conduct ou the part of other passengers or persons. 3. Ou the facts in this proceeding: Held that the defendant violated the law in each of the foregoing respects as against peti tioner. COOLER WEATHER COMING. Relief from Showers Probable To-mor row and Sunday. Relief from the hot spell is promised at the signal office. It is thought to be due here some time to-night or to-morrow morning. The following '-special prediction" was issued by Lieut. Dunwoody this morning: "The high temperature continues this morn ing over New England and thence westward over the middle Atlantic states, the Ohio valley, and the southern portion of the lake regions. It is probable that there will be an increase of cloudiness, with local showers, over the districts named, attended by slightly cooler weather on Saturday and Sunday." CP IN THE NINETIES. Washington is still in the hottest part of the country, the thermometer going up here yes terday afternoon to 93 degrees. This morning early 76 degrees were registered. 4 higher than at the same time yesterday. This lessened somewhat during the day, and the stronger breezes coming from the west made life more livable than it was yesterday. There were some very high temperatures recorded yesterday in this vicinity. At Augusta 9G was reached, at Lynchburg, Raleigh, Charlotte and Wilmington, 94; Savan nah, Norfolk and Albany. 92; boston, Philadel phia, Harrisburg and Baltimore, 90. 8NOWINO IN DENVER. In striking contrast to this record is the an nouncement that it is now snowing in Denver, with an area of very low temperature all through Colorado. Just north of this region is an area of high barometers, which is moving eastward and wdl probably reach here instead of the storm that made its appearance in Texas a day or two ago. To-da&'s regular prediction for "the District is for fair, slightly cooler, westerly winds. WORK ON THE RIVER FLATS. Col. Mains' Report on the Progress of the Improvement. Col. Hains' report of operations on the Poto mac flats during April shows that $22,400.13 was expended. Work on the construction of the reservoir outlet was continued. The con crete fouudations for the two up-stream wing walls were completed, and also the coffer-dam for one down-stream wing-wall, for which nearly all the foundation piles were driven. The dam for the other wing-wall was approach ing completion. Under the contract with the California hydraulic, dredging and reclamation company, about 92.500 cubic yards of material were excavated from the river at the junction of the Washington and Virginia channels, and deposited at tue lower end of section 3. About one-half of this con tract, 600.01)0 cubic yards, is now completed. About 20.000 cubic yards of material under Henrv Wilson's contract were dredged and deposited. Under contract with Thomas P. Morgan for raising the banks of the sewer canal. 12,099 cubic vards were dredged from the Virginia chaunei and conveyed to THE 8EWEB CANAL in scows. About 2.000 yards of this material were, at the end of the month, yet to be placed in the embankment at and near the mouth of the canal, which would require but a few days, and would complete the work. Aboat 1,900 yards of rip-rap stone were purchased during the mouth and expended for the pro tection of the embankment on the Vir ginia channel side of section three. There has been dredged a channel 360 to 550 feet wide and 20 feet deep between Georgetown and Giesboro' Point. This channel has filled ud to about 17 feet on the up-stream side of Long bridge. The Washington channel has been dredged to a width of 350 feet and a depth of 20 feet About 620 acres have been re. claimed from overflow at ordinary high tide.

Sketch of the Career of Their Re markable Organization. THE PARNKLL COURT. Some Incidents Which Have Enlivened the Proceedings. Special Cable Dispatch to The Evxnino St?r. London, May 10.?The proceedings in the Parnell court for the last few days, which were otherwise uneventful, were enlivened by cer tain scenes, and these are likely to be frequent henceforward, now that the Irish case is on, and the judges seem to be waking up to the necessity of enforcing the strictest rules of evi dence. Anybody and everybody was allowed to denounce the league from the witness box, but the Times counsel objected at the outset to the evidence, even of Archbishop Walsh. Sir Charles liufsell, besides feeling deeply the ungenerous, if not unjust conduct of the case by the Times, which the judges generally up held, is very overbearing, and even bullying, in manner, and hence frequent collisions are inevitable. After the last scene some of the Irish members wanted Russell and his col leagues TO WITHDRAW FROM THE CASE. This advice has been frequently given at different stages of the proceedings, bat it will not be followed. Hannan, as presiding judge, though beginning to suggest a suspicion of private learnings, preserves his dignity ex tremely well, and is very clever at giving the soft and slvly humorous answer which turneth away wrath. The cAirt chuckles hugely at his treatment of the worthy but irrepressible Biggar. aud when Biggar says indignantly that these proceedings are a farce, Hannan replies: "Well, Mr. Biggar, at any rate you have not helped us much in preventing it." Hannan is a confirmed vegetarian. A parish priest testified to the extreme misery of the tenants; only tasting meat once a week. Han nan said, "I* shall require strong evidence to convince me that that is any hardship.'' The Deceased Wife's Sister Bill Rejected Special Cable Dispatch to The Evesinu Star. London, May 10.?The house of lords yester day rejected the deceased wife's sister bill by a majority of twenty-seven, the Prince of Wales voting with the minority. This is the largest majority against it recorded for several years, and is probably due to the reaction against the recent free discussion of the loosening of the marriage tie. It is curious that English legis lators, instead of looking at the experience of English kirk kin who sanction such marriages, go back to Leviticus and the Roman Ccsari; also that they speak as if to say "you may marry a deceased wife's sister," would mean you must. Herschell quoted against this as sumption the witticism of an American who said "I cannot understand you English. From vour language one might suppose your hus bands always married the wrong sister first." A BOULAMi KR INCIDENT. A Deputation of French Students In dorse His Patriotism. London, May 10.?A deputation of students from Paris visited Gen. Boulanger to-day. Speeches were made in behalf of the students, expressing confidence in the patriotism of the general. THE Y. M. C.

Philadelphia, May 10.?The morning session of the third day of the Young Men's Christian Association convention started promptly at 10 o'clock. Mr. Ira D. Sankey led the Bible study and song service. The report of the committee on the general report of the international committee was then rend and taken up for debate. Rev. Mr. H. Grattan Guiuniss spoke of the Bible, quoting Sir Walter Scott, who, having written fifty books, said there was but one book, and that was the Bible. Speaking of missionary work in Africa he asserted that the basin of the Congo is 50.000.000 miles greater than the combined territorv of the basins of Mississippi and Missouri. Mr. Guinniss has charge of mission work in England, and has sent out 500 missionaries to foreign lands. "Throw out the life line" was sung by Mr. Sankey, and a thousand male voices joined in the chorus. A telegram was read from E. W. Halford. private secretary of President Harrison, ex pressing his congratulations and regrets that he could not be present. TROOPS AND STRIKERS. The Military Fire?Several Killed and Wounded. Berlin, May 10.?There was an encounter near Brackel, Westphalia, between the troops and strikers. A large body of the latter had gathered and were becoming disorderly, when they were ordered to disperse by the officer in command of the military. The strikers refused to obey the order. After warning them of the consequences that would follow if they per sisted in their refusal, and no attention being paid to the warning the officer ordered the soldiers to fire on the strikers. Three of the miners were killed and several were wounded. ANOTHER SANGUINARY ENCOUNTER. A sanguinary encounter occurred last night at Bochum, in Westphalia, between the military and the striking miners and their supporters.

Acting under the instructions of the council of ministers, held in this city yesterday, the governor of Westphalia will preside at a meet ing of the mine-owners, which is to be held to morrow to discuss means for the settlement of the troubles between the miners and mine own ers. WHAT DID MR. CLEVELAND SAY? Statements by the Two North Carolina Editor*. Charlotte, N. C., May 10.?This week's Goldsboro Headlight has a letter from Editor Oldham, of the Charleston World, in which the latter says: "In conclusion, the charge that the letter received by me from Mr. Cleveland was made up in the World office, is hardly worth my attention, bnt to convince any one who may have entertained a doubt as to the au thenticity of the letter, I have sent the origi nal document to my friend. Mr. Frank A Dan iels, of your city, who will take pleasure in showing it to any one who, for any reason, may desire to see it." The editor of the. Headtight, Mr. Boecower, says in an editorial: "The Cleveland letter as it was shown to as yesterday, seems to be a gen uine document, and now we oall upon Mr. Cleveland for a foil explanation, wherein the interview is inaccurate and misleading His statement mast be mads more explicit" A HORRIBLE BUTCHERY.

Walker was baptised at 6 p. m., by immersion in a bath basin carried in the jaiL The scene was very affecting. Jno. Mi.tthews made a long prayer, which could be distinctly heard in the street. The prisoners ate their supper with as much j relish as usual, and appeared very j quiet, except Matthews, who is taking his fate ! very hard. He passed a restless night, praying ! at short intervals, asking the Lord to give bitii strength to go through the ordeal, aud claiming ; he was a martyr. He did not not sleep over . two hours during the night. The two Walkers retired about 11 o'clock, went to sleep, and did not wake until after i o'clock. They stated that they rested well.

At 9:15 a. m. the prisoners commenced dress ing themselves for the scaffold. They were dressed with white shirts, linen collars, black cravats, low slippers, and black coat, vest and pants. Story ot the Bald Knobbers. Christian county first adopted Bald Knob bism in 1885. Dave Walker was the first leader and the membership soon reached between 300 and 400. Each new-comer was invited to join, and the majority did so. There was a fearful ordeal for the candidate, who found himself in a dark and lonely wood or ravine surronnded by masked men who imposed a blood curdling obligation, the infraction of which WAS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH. Once in, he could never get out aud remain in the country. Thare were numerous visits I by the band to petty offenders, but nothing occurred to attract widespread attention until the Green-Eden affair, which terminated in the overthrow of Bald Knobbism. The knobbers first came into prominence when the notorious Frank and Jubal Taylor entered the Dickunson home in Forsv'the, Taney county, and murdered the inmates. They were captured and lynched by the Law aud Order league. Capt. Nat. Kin'nevs. who was himself killed by one of the band at Ozark not long since, stood at the head of the Bald Knobbers at that time. THE GREEN-EDEN KILLING occurred on March 11. 1887. A friend of the Edens had been whipped by the regulators and the Edens had condemned the Bald Knobbers i for the act. On the night of March 10. 1887, '? the baud met to cousider Eden's offences. 1 There were twenty-six present, of whom nine- i teen, after a brief deliberation, proceeded to Edeus' house to punish the inmates. They ' were met with resistance and fired several volleys into the house, killing Wm. Edens and Chas. Green, his brother-in.law. and seriously wounding old man Edens. The outrage aroused the people and the i-heriff of Christian county, with a posse, pursued and captured the entire gang. The prisoners were taken to Springfield for safe keeping, afterward were transferred to a new jail building at Ozark, from whence Jehu and Wiley Matthews escaped hist Decem ber. John Matthews returned later and sur rendered himself, but Wiley is still at large. FOUR BALD KNOBBERS WERE SENTENCED TO HANG for the killing of Green and Edens. They were David Walker and his son Bill. John Matthews and Wiley, his nephew. None of the condemned men had reached their fiftieth year, and Bill Walker is not yet twenty. ONLY TEMPORARY SECLUSION.
