The Supreme Court general term has handed down an important decision in which it finds that the Bell Telephone Company of Boston is liable here for State taxes. The decision is likely to set the law in the eases of foreign 'corporations doing business in this Stats to rough corporations- here. The State claimed the right to collect a tax of I3 of 1 per cent on the gross earnings, and the suit was for these taxes during tiie years of 1882 to 188a The defense was that the company's capital was not employed here, and tnat it did bnsiness only through the local corporations. It was shown that the rentals received through these local companies increased from $164,356 in 1882 to $296,239 In 1886. In 1882 the company paid a dividend of IO per cent and in 1886 of 16 percent The court holds that the company was not liable under the statutes until 1885.

As to the assertion that the company did bnsiness here but only manufactured telephone instruments in Boston, the court says: The right to tax property and bnsi ness witnin trie limits of this State is not to be impaired or reduced in its authority because of artificial and refined distinctions having no foundation for their sup port, not only we teiepnones uemseives remain at all times the property of the defendant, bnt these contracts, through which the rentals are reserved and contracts with private lines made directly with itself and the business carried on between the exchange systems and the Western Union Telegraph Company, are protected and secured in all the advantages issuing therefrom to the defendant by the laws, and for that protection and security it should bear its share of the public burdens."

The mellow notes of a coachman's born drew all eyes of the great crowd at the Fat Stock Show last night; to the high horse-shoe arch which opens the entrance to the ring. The clatter of hoofs was heard outside, the bugler lost himself in a succession of tarantares, and the crowd burst into a cheer as the roan leaders of Potter Palmer's tally-ho, driven by the owner himself, came at a swinging trot through the entrance. But just as the wheelers got through there was a crash, an agonized err, and about fifteen feet of the heavy, arch, struck by the wheels, was.

horled into the ring, prostrating the brawny poll who stood guard at the i The cheering stopped sadden hy and was. suc ceeded by a dead silenoe, the bugler extracted the section of the horn, be had swallowed and tumbled off his perch, and the crowd made a rash for the ring, It was found that three men were injured, two of vtbem comparatively slightly. Archie Hunt, of No. 1432 Michigan avenue, was crushed between the private boxes and the body of the coach and then was thrown under the heavy wheels, whicn passed over his legs, only the softness of the ground preventing a very serious Injury. As it was ha was unoon-scious for soma time, but finally re rived so that be could be taken home.

Fred Sup. of No. 72 O'Brien street, was knocked down and had his clothes torn off and his band run over. Offioer Wiley was struck by the falling arch and was somewhat dased for a time, but was able to attend to his duties during the evening. When the coach was disentangled from the debris its John made one sedate circuit of the ring and then climbed down, a sadder and a wiser man, and turned the rains over to his coachman, Fred Lswia, KB.

PAXJfSB WAS OOTTES OTP in a very elaborate English driving coat, but oven that didn't save him, He wore it last week when he was advertised to drive his six-in-hand, but even then he could not lire np to it, and postponed km appearance until last night Some of thajnea who stood in the ring and dodged toe falling "arch could not forbear recalling the time last year when the famous Boniface guided bis four-in-hand a little too close to the fountain wall, which then formed tbe south of the ring and succeeded in knocking off most of its cap-stones. It was three times and out, and so Mr. Palmer got himself and his driving-coat into the box where his pretty wife and Mr. and Mra Fred Grant were waiting to sympathies with him, where he seemed to be registering a series of I solemn rows never eaia to. drive anything execptinlc eenme; good bargain estate, The area, which had been swinging precariously by one pier, wse patched up at last and the coaches swung out quite merrily.

Charlie Sen warts' 4aIly-ho, the only other shown, got second prize, the first going to Mr. Palmer's outfit othebwisb thb pat, thb last but on of the Fat Stock Show, was the most successful of the season. The unusual attractions of last night's programme served to bring' out the largest crowd since the show began, and ths displays of four-in-hands and broughams brought out the fashionables in force. Then tbe Elgin band had been engaged for the one evening to give a concert; and that added its share to ths crush. In the morning the roadster and the draft, horses were shown, A display of cattle in the ring the afternoon, followed by tbe exciting and spectacular appearances of the fire engines and patrol The only prizes awarded during the afternoon were for roadster stallions and ladies1 driving to pole In the evening the display given by the dry opened the programme, the fire department varying their usual show by running off several hundred feet of hose and sending a couple of pipe-men up a ladder into tbe gallery, where iney aimea tne Doxzie a sne xorge wnera ne horse-shoeing was going on and yelled for the water that never came.

The police department was not to be outdone, and so Officers Bruton and Hillier, who furnish the scrap which gies the patrol wagon the excuse for appearing; went into training. There wasn't much science about the round that they gave, but there was enough banging snd gouging and wallowing in the sawdust to tickle the crowd tremendously.

He nearly got away with the two offioars who leaped from tbewagon and seised him as it rasbed up, but they finally got the irons on him and his antagonist and hurried them away. Boy Wilkes, the famous pacing stallion, was then shown, after which the brougham teams- were displayed.

Ten teams were displayed, most of them having a footman perched beside the driver, sud tne array was said to have been far ahead of that at the recent horse show in New York. F. dL Gorton took first prise. B. Cummings second.

pi uauniHf a ssHMncai, Phtt.itkt,phia, Nor. 2a Ths Inquirer to-morrow will say: transpired yesterday that negotiations for a settlement of the Trunk line rate war are well nnder way. and thsre is strong probability that the present asnect of affairs will soon be changed. Up to the present thus all that has been sceomplished is that both ws r-ennsytrania and new xork central representatives nave expressed to each other their willingness to advance rates if any guarantee can be secured that they will be maintained. This applies to both West snd East-bound rates.

la the negotiations that bare occurred Mr. womUly. a son -la- law of the late William H. Vanderbilt. has rep- rBeented the New York Central interests.

Mr. Twombly came orer lrom New lork Thursday, and was entertained by Vice President Frank Thompson st his residence st Morion, The situation ss regards East and West-bound rates was thorouily discussed, snd in addition, the Hew lorker conversad with President Roberts and some other of the Pennsylvania oiBcialasnd directors. His visit waa in pursuance of aa ar rangement made at interviews earner in the week. Vice President Thompson, when ssked about tue negotiations, said that there was not much tnat ne could say, as nothing had been done so far. 'lt is true," he said, "that there have been several interviews between the represent- auves 01 inn jrennayivanie rteuroaa and ths New York Central, at which the subject of the reduction in rates was discussed in thoroughly friendly spirit We accomplished nothing, because there has been no means suggested bv which rates could be maintained it they were ad van cod." Mr.

Thompson has participated in all the conferences that have been held. In maki tbe statement quoted above he said be covered the whole ground and further inquiries merely confirmed the idea thus tersely put. Both the New York Uentral and tbe Pennsylvania, said Jar. Thomp son, were willing; to nutuoratca Thaonlr difficulty was that if tfaey were restored neither party could hare any assurance that they would be kept no. There was no plan known which would prevent future demoraJisation.

In the course of his speculations he paid abont $450,512 to them for commissions. It is alleged that these commissions were illegally paid, and Arthur Dyett, as assignee of Eno, brought suit in the Supreme Court orer a year ago to recover this sum of money from the DroKors.

Dvett waa partially successful in the matter, but the brokers took an appeal to tbe general term of the supreme Uonrt, which to-day decided in aa opinion written by Presiding Justice Van Brunt that the brokers must submit to an examination before trial, and after that the plaintiff has leave to apply to the court for an order directing the production of their books for inspection, OTKIEXTS OF OCEAH STKAISHIPg.

A vast throng of people men, women, and children poured ont a libation of tender regret and warm eulogy in memory of the Irish mar tyrs last night at Battery HalL The spacious platform itself was a panoramio picture of patriotism two-fold Irish and American. Por- traits of Washington and of the martyred dead proudly peered forth from a grand framing mads up of the glorious stars and stripes of America and the emerald flag of Ireland.

On the speaker's rostrom again were spread the emblematic col ors of a nationality won and a nationality hoped for, Erin's golden harp resting on its couch of emerald green. And so the silent story of frse- dam garlanded and made beautiful the platform from which her lovers spoke with words of fire of injuries done to freedom's cause. But the most eloquent tribute to the memory of the Irish martyrs wse the audience, which filled both tbe floor and the gallery to their utmost capacity. The credit of so good a presentation to the memory of dead Allen, Larkin, and O'Brien, the Manchester 'merrrrs, should be given to the Irish Nationalists generally of Chicago.

The speaker then st considerable length, reviewed Ireland's history, showing that while Britons were still nalted barbarians. Irishmen were iivuur in a high state of civilaition.

Mr. 1. J. conway then read the following pre ambles and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: WHKBJtAS. this aasemblass of Irish Rationalists.

like tha many thousands that to-nitrht thronsbout ths world are gathering for the sams purpose, would express its admiration for the undannted heroism of Ireland's yonnr martyrs, Allen, Larkin and O'Brien, whose life distinguished them aa true sons or motherland, and whose death en shrines their memory in the niches of immortality and Whsskas, tha nation that falls to remember Its martyrs, that forgets ths prowess and patriotism of its sons, the virtues and heroism of its daughters, or the unselfish devotion snd untiring patience of iU founders, ceases to be a nation; and Whxbsas, We know that Ireland has sever loss her nationhood, and never will lose it so long at men like Allen. Larkin. and O'Brien have ths will to do and the strength to dare for a cause sanctified by centuries of inhuman oppression, fiendish cruelty, brutal ontrage, and incessant persecution, visited upon a whole people and directed at their extermination as a race: therefore Jirmnlord. Br thla vast eouconree of Iriah-Ana lean citizens, that the proclamation of Irish nationalism, heralded forth twenty-one years ago to-day, when the death -cry of Allen.

That as American' eittsena, owing Drimarallegiancs to this asylum cf ooDresslan of every dims, snd revering ths institutions founded upon a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people," we hail with delight the expressions of patriotism that, on the part of both ths great political parties of our country. have taken form In denunciation of Brit ish methoda. as exempli fled in tha 'dinlo. mac 7 of England's representatives and treaty jr. i maker.

HTHES wss then introduced and spoke substantially sa follows: Mr. Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen: A great many years ago Henry rat tan said, "Ireland ia not dead, but sleepeth." If Henry rattan were in my place to-night he would say, "Ireland ia not dead, neither does she sleep" What has broken loose in Chicago? Cries, Ths rJ tia -American Association. tne Dray of a xtririah ass ean rouse tbswirisn people like this, what would the roar of the British lion dor This audience is the response to the attempted second martyrdom of Alien.

Larkin, and O'Brien, They gare np their Uvee in Manchester twenty-years ago as an offering to their nation and to tbe land of their both, They did not give np their reputa tion, and now that a second assault baa been made upon what was dearer than life to them. their fellow countrymen in Chicago bare come forward to contest it The British-American Assoniattonl Hies sal It ianot worth while wasting a hiss upon. Indeed 1 thought thing was musing -front the resolutions. I think the committee ought to have included 7 a rota of thanks to the British-American Association for giving us this meeting; I protest sgainst the use of that word American in that connection. The- Hriush- Amanesa Association denounces these murderers, the men whose memory you Pride in honoring to-night Let me say to the Bnuan-American Association that 1 rear tbe the members of that ssarKtisUos are profoundly ignorant of the history of the Manchester martyrs.

Their resolutions are not only the result 01 prejaaioe ana malice BUT ALSO Or lOWOBAXCB. Let me say that Allen. Larkin and O'Brien. instead of being murderers, are tbe onlr men who. during tbe past two generations, own the distinction of being political martrra The bnbsh-American Association has given us the opportunity of calling attention to the fact tonight in the presence of this great audience, sad of an enlightened Dub lin, that twenty -one years ago the great eniignienea unuan aeuon hung three men who were political priaonera What was the offense of Allen, larkin, and CBrien They were members of a military organization, to be sure, to inaugurate a revolt against British rule la Ireland, just sa George Washington organised a revolt against Bnnah rule, over a hundred years ago.

in this country. Aa soldiers, and with the spirit of soldiers. their officers sad leaders were arrested sad im prisoned, and were on their way along the puDiie streets in a ran. Vt net did Alien, xarkin. and O'Brien do? Did they shoot down the poll oe men? Not Make an assault with intent to take life? No.

They made a dash to release the prisonera The policemen all raa away exoeptiag one, He waa fast ia the ran with the prisoners. Those were tbe policemen who were compared to the brave Chicago policemen on the Harmarket, What did Alien, Larkin, and O'Brien do? THXT PBUXDCD THS KXTS of the ran from the man inside so that they could release their eomradea. He refused to give np ths keya They fired a bullet through the keyhole, not with any purpose except-. tng that of breaking the bolt 'or tbe bnt the inquisitive man on the other side of the door happened to have his eve sgainst tha key-hole, and so wss shot and killed. In any other country in ths world.

I mass in any civilised country, the offense wouldn't have been treated ss murdar she believed it wse a saarder bnt be cause she wished to east obloauv on the names of those three heroic men. The British-Ameri can Association, after thus denouncing them. ssy that tne anarchists nave the sat tangible rights as Fenians, and call upon American citizens to stamp out Fenian- ism, dynamiters, and anarchists in onr midst Now. this British-American Association's resolution is only tne outcropping of a eiaas 01 DomDsit common eooucrn among a cer tain class of Englishmen.

The Irish people are never mj gooa sa who a mey nrn pat on ineir metal. They are always better nnder fire than at any other time, and tfaey are particularly fervid and panicnlariy enthusiastic when they are honored by the special enmity of the British garrison in Chicago or elsewhere.
