INFORMANT TO FREIGHT OwNERs.-The
Supreme Court of Wisconsin a few days
ago, says the Sacramento Union, render
ed decision of much Importance to
owners and shippers of freight by rail-
way in that State--a decision which
ought to be the law in every State in the
Union. The title of the case is evil
liam ?. Conkey, respondent, VS.. the Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway Company,
appellant. T." The points are follows:
The railway company received goods at
Milwaukee addressed to Conkey at
Preston, Minnesota, to be carried over
its road to La Crosse and there delivered
to the Southern Minnesota Railway
Company, the next succeeding carrier in
the line Of carriage. The goods were
carried to La Crosse and placed in de-
PENDANT warehouse for delivery to the
Southern Minnesota Railway Company;
but while awaiting such shipment they
were destroyed by fire the next day after
their arrival. The Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railway Company refused to pay
for them, when suit was brought by
Conkey. The Court below gave him
judgement. and the railway company
appealed to the Supreme Court. The
Supreme Court held:
l. That the railway company is liable
as a common carrier, and is an insurer
of the goods; not only while the goods
are in actual transit over its line of rail
way, but until an actual delivery of the
goods to the next succeeding carrier.
2, If the succeeding carrier should re-
fuse to accept the delivery of the goods
or in case Of break or interruption il
the line of transit, as by storm, flood o.
earthquake, or by fact of war, rendering
it impossible to send the goods forward
or causing considerable delay in thu
transportation, the carrier might reliev,
itself of its strict liability as a common
carrier by storing the goods and notify
ing the owner or consigner thereof.

japanned leather manufacturer OF that name in
Newark, at her home on Sussex avenue, that city,
listened to her married daughter, Mrs. Smythe, Of
Bellevile, relating some difficulty about the cistern
OF her house. About ten O'Clock Mrs. Atha and
her husband retired. A few hours afterwards she
suddenly arose from her couch. waking her hus-
band by the quickness OF her movements She
told HIM she was going lot a drink OF water. Her
remaining much longer than necessary for that pur-
pose alarmed him, ana lie called out to her, but
received no answer. He then went IN search OF
her, and. after securing the house, finally found
his wife boating in the cistern. IL Is believed that
her daughters story about the cistern proved on
her mind she being oil u very nervous tempera-

walked into her watery death. The Atlas were
well known in Newark business and social circles

THE JERSEY BOULEVARD.
Meeting of the Real Estate Associntion-
Arguments in Favor OF the New Az

meeting or the Real Estate Association OF
Hudson county New Jersey was held last week
at Buschs Hotel, Hopoken, when the following
paper was read by Dr. Ladlaw:-
At the request OF a number OF members of this
Association. we beg leave 10 present for your CON
sdcrauon to-day some OF my views IN regard TO
the recent location OF the new Hudson county
avenue. These views are offered to you as those
OF parties not IN any way directly benefited by
the proposed location. This avenue or boulevard
question Is one which Tor the first time can
properly be introduced to our attention as an assoc
clatlon. ihe interests o. the individual members
are 50 various ana the views entertained by tnem
50 hXediy diverse as 70 the best route TO be io-
lowed That the introduction vi the subject at any
previous meeting would nave led only To Ruthless
discussion and possible disruptive dissenson; but
since Inc commissioners have Indicated a route
which IN their judgment Is the best, IL is hoped
that the remaining questions can be calmly SUBJ
jected 10 our criticism At the outset II VIII be
best to state that IN my judgment the whole
work OF the Commissioners up to the present
time ~ woithy oi the unqualified support aud
praise OF this association. No uOubt the aority
OF us could have proposed route which would
have suited ourselves better, but lie would be
very bold man indeed who would claim that he
could have better subserved the various interests
OF the whole population OF the county by any other
route So much IS all that need ne SAID ~ regard
TO individual interests. Let US attend now 10 the
general results OF such boulevard ana Its effects
upon the real estate oi our vicinity
The total cost OF the Boulevard ~ made up OF the
cost OF construction, added to the cost OF locating
and opening. The cost OF entire construction Is
limited by legislative enactment TO 100000 per
mile for about sixteen niles, Whch IS assumed 10

70 s240O,CJJ and viii be paid by the real aud per-

Again we have it reported that En-

report comes to us in a minute and
circumstantial form. The Emperor,
it is said, is incapacitated for further
public duty, and arrangements are be-
ing made for the proclamation of a Re
gency under the Crown Prince, Fred
erick William. It is possible, of course,
that the report has but little foundation
in fact. Still, Emperor William is an
old man, he has seen his seyenty-slXth
birthday, andit would not be at all Won
ierful if he were now Overtaken by the
infrmities incident to old age. A Re
gcncy would not be novelty in Berlin,
