RIGnrs OF PEDEsTRIANs.-In case of appeal
against sentence giving $4,000 damages to per
son who was run over by horse car in New York
Judge Morrell, of the Supreme Court of that city,
affirmed the judgment, and, in delivering the
opinion of the court, said;
The proposition of the appellants counsel, in its
scope and meaning comes to this that a foot pas
sengcr has right upon public street as against
railroad corporation, and ! regret to say that
such seems to be, practically, the belief of drivers
of most public COnveyanCes, and many private
vehicles. There is often reckless disregard of
human limbs and life; and pedestrians are com
pelcd at the peril of broken bOnes death Itself,
to keep out Of the way.
The right to travel upon a street or highway is
common to all. They do not belong exclusively
to the drivers of vehicles. Foot passengers have
, tn right to walk upon them, and, except for the
greater difficulty of guarding and arresting the
progress of vehicles, it is, as matter of law, as
much the duty of vehicles so keep out OF the way
of foot passengers it is for the latter to escape
being run over by the former. The use of the
streets of cities and villages, and Of highways for
railroad is allowed only because it is considered
not to a substantial interference with their free
and unobstructed use highways for passage.
So long therefore, as there is no interference with
the public right of passage, railroads are lawful
structures. But if operated upon the theory OF
exclusive right to their track, they became usurp-
ers and wrong-d -dOers. ! make these observations
that the practice of drivers, not of railroad cars
! only but of omnbuses, carts, express wagons
etc. of disregarding the rights of foot passengers
nay if possible, be checked. In our overcrowded
CITY it is of vital Importance that the greatest care
and caution thOud be observed by the drivers o
all kids of vehicles 1t is to the drivers we must
look for a remedy for this great and growing dan

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT JEFFERSON, TEXAs.-The
Jmiccute of the 23d, says:
very destructive fire occurred in this city on
last Sunday morning resulting in the loss of S75,
600 or $4,000 worth of property. The entire City
Hotel property, with everything in the way of fur
niture was q total loss BlOomngdale's dry goods
store Ligon's shoe and boot store, Violet saloon,
Flyers fancy grocery store, Claybrooks tin shop,
VIM. Fish's shoe shop, Hasty's meat market,
Thompson's jewery shop, were all total loss.
The fire then crossed the street, consuming Mrs:
Walkers fancy dry goods store, Odd Fellows
Hall store belonging to the Nichols, the News
and Register Office Clark's coffee house, confcc
tionary store, McCoy's paint shop all in the same
house, and DR.. Eason's drug store.
= By the advantages offered by the brick houses
on opposite corners, owned by Smith and Water
house, with the almost superhuman efforts of the
citizens, the fire was arrested in its progress.
Some of the merchants saved all of their goods;
others lost all.
The fire was accidental, the roof of the Violet
saloon taking fire from the stove pipe. .
The heaviest losses were sustained by }. Stern,
DR. Lockhart, DR.. Eason and j. A. Carpenter.
