Another case involving the rights of passen-
gers on railway trains, and the responsibility OF
railroad companies in this connection, has been
decided by a court in the state Of New York. A
gentleman named Peck some years since
bought a ticket on the New York Central from
Utica to Albany, and entered one of the pas
senger coaches. 1t was crowded, and he could
get no seat. Finally the conductor came along
and told Peck, who was an invalid TO go into
one OF the palace cars attached to the train,
and there he would find a place to sit. He did

Peck to show his ticket, and the ticket pur-
chased at Utica was produced. The conductor
informed him that he must pay extra fare for
riding in the palace car. Peck refused to do So
Claiming that he was entitled to a seat; that the
overloaded condition of the other coaches had
driven him INTO the palace car. The result was
the stopping of the train and the expulsion of
hlr. Peck, who subsequently brought SUIT and
recovered verdict of 5000. The railroad
company appealed, and meanwhile Peck died
His administrator continued the suit. and a
short time since secured another favorable YER

Some OF the politicians OF the thirteenth ward

commonly known among that class as ''shenan-
cyan. on two of the weaker sex, who were reg
uisriy nominated at primary meeting as can
Cidates for the city school board. The names
CT The ladies' nominated were Mrs Harriet W .
Past and Mrs. George Wselpper. Subsequent
~ Mrs Paist was requested to withdraw from
tie candidacy, on the ground that combina-
ton might be effected which would tend TO de-
teat the ticket upon which the ladies' names
appeared. At a meeting of the executive COM
nittee Of the ward on the ID inst, letter pur-
porting to have been written by Mrs. Paist was
read, Withdrawing her name, ana subsequently
both the ladies' names were dropped from the
list OF candidates. Mrs. Paist now comes out
with an indignant card to the citizens of the
thirteenth ward, prOnouncing the withdrawal
letter a forgery, and stating her intention to
remain in the field as a candidate. She closes by
saying: "WOuld that had the power OF Bru-
tus or Patrick Henry, that l might put these
designing, intriguing politicians in their true
