GOTHAM's HOSPITALITY.
the way g Drunken Alderman Intro
dueed King Halakaua-


New York Special to the Chicago Times.
The serenade to the King of the Sand
witch Islands tonight, at the Windsor Ho-
tel, brought on many ludicrous incidents.
| The Committee of the Board of Aldermen
appointed to receive King Kalakaua had be-
come as drunk as TOOdles. While await
ing in Jersey City the arrival Of the train
from Washington, they adjourned to the
benzine shops near the Pennsylvania Rail-
road depot, ana took in a supply of jersey
lightning TO steady their nerves to receive
with becoming dignity the copper-eolored
potentate whose presence was to shed
such blaze of glory. At the
Windsor Hotel tonight the 9th Reg
iElent band put in an appearance
shortly after 0 o'clock, to serenade the
King. An immense throng had assembled
in front of the hotel. During the playing
of the first air, the King and suite appeared
on the balcony. Kalakana's features be-
came like a newly-polished mahogany
table. He seemed pleased with himself
and his surroundings. Parties Of female
beauty clustered in the corridors of the ho-
tel, in the parlor and on the balcony, and
shed a luster on the scene. Two brilliant
calcium lights Illuminated the avenue for
quarter of amile. The first air over, old
McCaferty, chairman of the Reception
Committee of the Board of Aldermen,
staggered to the side of the King, and, lean
ing over the balcony, swayed too and fro
in a manner which alarmed his friends for
his safety, and looked ominous for whatsO-
ever life insurance company he had policy
in. Aid. McCafferty spoke as follows:
"Mr. Chairman and Members of the Board
Of Aldar1nan.r RI
A friend at his elbow-Damn it, Mac,
what in hi are you talking about? Say
ladies and gentlemen.
Aid. McCa1erty, smiling a good-natur-
ed, alcoholic smile, and giving a plunge
ahead against the life insurance interest,
taking the hint-Laides and gentlemen;

kaua smiling atnusedly, while McCaherty
glared in establishment, and the aldermanic
friend at his elbow said: Oh, Mac, call
him Calico" McCafferty, who had evil
denly been seeking information in regard to
the pronunciation Of the potentate's name,
corrected himself in the following fashion:
l mean, Mr.. Chaiman-that is ladies and
gentleman-to give his majesty his full
title. Let me introduce to you King Da-
vid Kalak-u-a. [Roars Of laughter.l As
members of the Common Council. Pause

has to say. He will now address you. Mr.
Kalakaua, let me introduce you.
The crowd laughed and cheered, and his
majesty smiled and pulled his cigar. he
had no speech to make. he listened to
another air, and then retired to his own
rooms. The band continued playing till
after 10 O'Clock. McCafferty and his al
dermanic friends adjourned to take a
drink.

Heavy Verdict Against the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad for a Broken
Leg-Interesting Features of the

Heavy Verdict Against the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad for n Broken
Leg-InterestinE Features Of the
Trial.
Louisville Courier-JOurnal, May 9.
Quite a commotion was produced on
Yesterday in the Common Pleas Court
when it was announced that the jury, In
the case of Fox VS.. the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company, had agreed
upon a verdict, and were ready TO come
into court. The attorneys being called,
they promptly appeared, and it was evident
that they were trembling with anxiety TO
know fhe result. The jury, through their
foreman, DR.. Seaton, announced their YER
dict to be $4,000 damages in favor Of Fox,
and $50 they all said.'
Ii is hardly necessary to remind our
readers of all the facts developed in the
case. On the 18th of December, 1872, ac-
eording to the evidence introduced by the
plaintiff, the section hands on the Prewitt's
knob section of the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad, discovered in the day time
three broken rails at as many different
places. Two of them were repaired by
putting in a new rail. The other one was
on rock fill, and was repaired in this way.
The break in the rail was square and about
FIVE feet from the north end of the rail, be-
tween two ties but near to a tie. Instead
of putting in a new whole rail, the section
hands moved the end of the tie nearest
to the break up north about six inches,
so as to bring the break in the rail over
the center of that end of the tie, and thus
spiked the two sides of the break with
spikes, without using chair or fish-bar
splice, and then timped it up. This left
the tie in diagonal position, and under
the rail between the end Of the tie thus
moved and the tie next south of it, the sec
ton hands put piece of cord wood. This
was on Christmas day. That part of the
track was not walked on on the night of the
10th, and about four o'clock on the night OF
the 9th the passenger train, on which Fox
was riding, was thrown from the track just
where the repair of the 18th was made.
Fox was injured, causing his right leg, be-
low the knee, to be aTnputated, and the
proaf showed him to be :; cripple for life.
The important instruction given by the
court was that which indicated the degree
of care which railroad companies were
bound to exercise to protect their passen-
gers against injuries. The court, in sub
stance, held tina; the highest degree of care
was required.
The jury have by their verdict found that
the railroad employees were guilty of neg
lect. We are not sufficiently familiar with
the evidence to give any opinion about it,
but, if the neglect was proven, the verdict
of the jury will prove salutary lesson to
railroad managers.
1t is stated that the railroad company
will to-day move for new trial, and if
that be refused they will take the case to
the Appellate Court.
1t is rumored that several of the jury
were for verdict varying from $4,000 to
100000.
The trial lasted nearly five weeks and
was desperately contested from first to last.

In order to regulate the time for opening
the schools so that children may avoid be-

Education have arranged for ringing signal
h Ills in the mornings, and have made the
following order, to which the attention OF
parents is called:
1.-THE bells on the Howard and Ninth
ward schools shall on and after Tuesday 18th
inst be r1ng for five minutes, at exactly

The Ninth Ward Clock.

The large clock which F. L. Davies &
Bro. have erected in the tower of the
Ninth ward schOol-house' is now working
in the most satisfactory manner. The
sound of the striking was thought by the
Board of Education TO be not as clear and
distinct as it should ha ebeen, but this de-
feet has been remedied by providing the
striker with a sounding board, which eff
fectually pre- ents the sound getting lost
among the angles and corners of the tower.
The clock is beautiful piece Ofmechanism
and works smoothly. Its main weight
consists of long wooden box, containing
$50 pounds Of scraps of iron. The pendu-
lum, which weighs $50 pounds, swings
gently to and fro at the end Of a ten foot
bar. which is attached to the works by
means of finely tempered spring, one and
a half inches wide, and as thin as the blade
of a case knife.

quence-A Field Day for the Candi-
dates.
Yesterday the majority of the candidates
for the various county Offices met at agrand
barbecue given by Wiley Russell, in the
Eleventh district, some sixteen miles from
the CITY. There were about three hundred
persons present, most of whom were color
ed. Oratory was the order of the day, and
that asSemblage was treated to greater
quantity of elOquence than has been turn
ed loose in this country for many a long
day.
NJ. NJ. Brien, Jr., and A. G. Merritt,
aSpirantS for the position of Chancellor, led
off in fine style, and were followed by Sam
DOnelsOn and Prince Ewing, colOred, each
of whom set forth his individual fitness for
the office of Criminal Court Clerk. Then
J. f. Pentecost. Capt. w. G.. Ewin, Maj.
J. II. Mccain and Jas. L. Bell, succeeded
each other in mounting the stump and adj
vancing their claims to the office of County
Court Clerk. Albert Akers, candidate for
the position of Circuit Court Clerk, having
no competitor on the ground, walked over
the track, and was followed by the candi-
dates for the positions of Jailor, County
Trustee, Register, Tax Collector, and
Sheriff.
The speaking was brought to close by
John Cockerili, known to fame as the
"Buzzard Orator." who held his audience
spelI-bOund for about an hour. He advo-
Gated the claims of his favorites among the
candidates, denounced rings and cliques,
and waxed warm and eloquent as he dwelt
upon the fact that ''all men are equal before
the law" 1t was generally conceded that
his tribute to Capt. Patterson was the finest
squirt of pure, unauthorized oraiory ever
heard In Davidson county.
As the "Buzzard' descended from the
platform, covered with glory and Perspira-
ton, the assemblage dispersed. In return
ing to the city, the procession was an houl
and a half passing given point--said poini
being a saloon in the suburbs.
