The Law of the Hail.

Extra charges for failure to buy
tickets ar" universally sustained by
the courts, but there must be a full
opportunity TO buy afforded by the
tickets seller. Passengers must
show tickets when asked for. AS
to stopping off. there is only one
decision, which is that a passenger
cannot stop of, and resume his
journey, without the previous assent
OF the company. AS to the obliga-
ton Of the road to furnish a sc at to
a passengeS, a decision says: "a
passenger, who exhibits his ticket.
need not surrender it until he has
been furnished with a seat" A
railroad is not liable for things
stolen out of passengers seat,
there being no previous delivery to
the company's servants for the
same reason the company is not
liable for baggage in the passengers
own car. Passengers who neglect
to look after their own baggage on
arrival at their destination, cannot
recover it if it is lost without fault
OF the carrier. Baggage left in the
station houses for the passengers
convenience, after it has reached it's
destination, comes under new class
OF rights and duties, the baggage
master assuming the position of a
sratultous bailee, who only becomes
liable IN cases Of gross neeli-
genCe.

a general rule, based on my expe-
rience, eventually railroad compan-
les give to the public all the benefits
of improvements made. in the man
ner and cost of doing business,
so that the result of
our discussion and these
agitations will be that rates of trans
portation will be reduced until MIN
imum cost is reached, probably not
far from 5 mills per ton per mile for
cereals and similar products taken
IN aohole car-loods long distances.
To do this will require improve
ments in equipment; the proportion
in freight cars of dead to paying
weight is still too great. They
weigh from to 10 tons each, and
carry but 10 or II tons This ratio
must be lessened, and to the me M
be1s Of our profession the railroad
companies must look for improve
ment In this particular.

Southern Agriculture.

Capt. Sypher, of St. Mary's Par
ish, Louisiana, has introduced a
new method of raising rice. Here
tofore it has been grown on low
land, the ground being flooded
from adjacent streams. This in
volved heavy expense in sluices
and embellishments and there was
danger from floods as well as occa-
sional drouths which injured the
crops. BY the new system the
seed is put into high land with a
grain drill, and water to irrigate the
soil is thrown up through powerful
steam pumps. When the crop is
grown 1t is harvested with a reaper
and threshed by steam. The result
of these innovations was eight hun
dred barrels of the cleanest and
best grade Of white Carolina rice
ever seen in New Orleans.
The Southerners seem astonished
at the success which has attended
this int nduclion of labor saving
machinery. he fact that a hun
dred bushes were threshed and
cleaned in day, is revelation to
the slow going Southerners. We
infer that Sypber is classed as
one of the carpet baggers." The

A Deliberate Murderer.

The Kokomo (Ind. tribune publishes
the following David Robinson came
to town and bought new suit of clothes
and revolver, after which he went
home, showed the purchases to his
family, and ate his supper. Robinson
was in good humor and appeared per-
fectly sane. He remarked to his wife
that it would have been well if little Dan
(his SOM had died two weeks ago, and
said he had attempted to kill the child.
He then drew his revolver and fred at
his second son, who was crying in bed,
and then shot at his wife. Mrs. Robin
son ran out of the house, and the oldest
boy, eight years of age, started to fol-
low, when his father shot him in the
face, but the ball glanced off without
wounding him badly. The father then
struck him on the back of the head with
chair, but the son succeeded in getting
out with his mother. Robinson then
deliberately took razor, approached
the bed in which lay his only daughter,
seized and cut her throat from ear to
ear. He followed this murder by taking
the life of his son, whom he had first
shot in bed, in the same manner, after
which Robinson jumped on his horse
and fed. His dead body was found the
next morning one mile north of Jackson
station, on the indianapolis, Peoria and
Chicago railroad. 1t is supposed he
committed suicide.

A Runaway Mill.

A singular occurrence took place at a
cotton mill at Bollington, near Maccles-
field, England. The machinery sud
denly bolted like runaway horse, and
caused a general panic. 1t appears that
from some cause the steam from the
boilers ovorcame the control of the gov
errors of the engine, and the machinery
began in consequence to move at such
speed that the minders threw their
mules out of gear, and by SO doing
precipitated the catastrophe they were
trying to avoid. The rapid revolutions
of the engine caused the fy-wheel to
break in pieces, and one huge fragment
dashed upwards through the floor of
grinding-room above, and then through
the roof, coming down again through
another portion of the roof. The other
segments of the wheel were hurled
through the walls, aud altogether the
building was wrecked to such an extent
that the walls in some parts fell in, and
the room above and the roof were de-
molished. A complete stampede took
place among the hands, who numbered
about one hundred and fifty, and they
rushed out of the room in the widest
confusion. Happily, no lives were lost,
but it is fully expected that the result
of the casualty will be three months
stoppage of nearly all work at the mill,
the machinery of which it is to be
hoped will be brought under some kind
of control before it is put into action
again.
