Liabilities OF Sleeping Car Com
panies.

MEMPHIS, February l4.-In the case
of Blum vs.. the Pullman Car Company,
for the loss of $1,000 alleged to have been
stolen between Humboldt and Memphis,
while Blum was passenger and sleeping
on one of the cars OF defendant: Judge
Brown charged the jury that the sleep
ing car company was not liable, as an
inn keeper or common carrier, which was
held by the supreme court of Indiana. A
private boarding or lodging house,
or restaurant is responsible as
an inn keeper for the loss Of
goods by guests. The Sleeping Car
Company must take reasonable care of
guests and property, especially while the
guests are asleep. If the company was
negligent they become liable and If the
plaintiff was negligent as to the care of
his own property the company should
not be held liable. A sleeping car COM
pany is liable only for such property as
is usually carried about the person of
passengers such rs clothing, small bag
Lage and such an amount of clothing rs
is necessary for travelling demands. If
the plaintiffs loss was caused by
want of care on the part of the defen-
dant, he should have verdict for such
reasonable amount for travelling expenses
MS the Jury may deem necessary. The
iury returned verdict for the plaintiff
for 800.

"A Marrow Escape.
ST. LOUIS, February 14.-Between
and o'clock last night, two men in a
buggy with what seemed to be a colored
boy sitting between them, drove on the
bridge, paid the toll keeper their fare,
and started hastily towards East st. Louis.
When out some distance in the bridge
cry of Help for Gods sake issued
from the buggy, and the colored boy fell
out when the other occupants OF the
buggy put whip to the horse and disap-
peared in the darkness. Jerry Miller,
the bridge collector, hastened to the spot,
and found that the seeming cOlored boy
was colored woman, who said the men
in the buggy were named Wilson and
Holland, and that they were the parties
who robbed the U. 5. Express car on the
st. Louis, Kansas City u Northern
X. r., few miles from st. Louis about 6
weeks ago; she states further that she at
tended TO their room in the fourth"
story os building No. Sl4 North Third
street, over the American Express
office; that she was there about s o'clock
yesterday morning and found them look
ing over some oil their stolen articles and
papers. On being discovered at this,
they seized and chloroformed and gagged
her, kept her in the room all day, and
towards evening they put mems clothes
on her, and about I o'clock carried her
down stairs and placed her in buggy.
She was sensible while being taken out
OF the building; heard Wilson and Hal
land say they intended to tie u weight to
her neck and throw her from the bridge
into the river, and that she knew too
much and must be got rid of. Being
gagged she could not call for help, nor
could she escape by running away,
but while on the bridge she managed
to get the gag out of her mouth and
screamed for help, and was thrown out OF
the buggy. When Wilson and Holland
reached the east end of the bridge, they
were stopped by the toll keeper and
officer Armstrong, for fast driving, but
the jumped out of the buggy and dash
cd down the eastern approach of the
bridge for dear lite and escaped.
In the buggy was found bot
tie which had contained chlorotorm, a
trace chain, q sledge hammer and car
coupling link, which no doubt were in
tended to be used to sink the woman
after throwing her into the river.
Holland was formerly railroad con-
ductor, but the colored woman did not
know who Wilson was.
