the discovery that city vouchers for

a year since was the work Of the same

ApE RAILROAD COMPANIES REsPoN.
srDLE FOR ACCIDENTS TO THEIR EN-
pLoYEEs? PA Tennessee railroad re-
Gently gave out tickets to Its servants,
on which was printed a stipulation
that the company would not be held
responsible for personal injury from
whatever cause. Similar tickets are
issued under like circumstances by a
number Of the roads In the country.
The New York Central and Hudson
River give them to persons In charge
Of stock freighted over their roads.
Outside Of this State these stlpulations
are not worth the paper they are
printed on. The courts have every
where held that they are agreements
In plain contravention OF public policy,
as tending to encourage negligence In
common carriers. In New York,
however, according to the Albany
Lap Journal, the court Of last resort
has decided that such stipulations may
be enforced. The sooner, therefore,
they are prohibited by statute, the
better. The temptations to criminal
negligence are already far too strong
for the weak natures of railway Off
Gals, and 1t Is not advisable to release
them from a responsibility In even the
most exceptional cases.-N. Y. Times.
