They purchased tickets and awaited the arrival
OF the train. When IL came Mr.. Brown ran for
ward 10 assist the porter in lifting large Sara
togs trunk into the baggage car. Scarcely D al
they got the trunk In the car before the train
began to move. Mr.. Brown ran back TO assist
his daugh teTs into the ladies car, but the train
Was by this time going 50 fast that the attempt
was considered periOus. The young ladies re
manned on the platform and their trunk was
taken OFF by the train. A telegraphic despatch

suit on the same day. The ease WAS tried on
Thursday before Judge Besll, the Hon. Henry
