In the case Of Blum vs.. Pullman Sleeping

Sleeping car companies must take reasona-
bic care OF their guests and property, espe-
cialiy while the said guests are asleep. II the
company was negligent, they became liable,

care of his own property, the company should
not be held liable. The sleeping car company
is liable only for such property as is usually
carried about the persons OF passengers, such

amount of money Is is necessary for travelling

II the plaintiffs loss was caused by the
want Of care on the part OF the defendants,

Die amount for travelling expenses as the iury
nay deem necessary. The Jury returned

In the United States Supreme Court Friday
tine case of Shirley, executor, VS.. the United
States, on appeal from the Court OF Claims,
being the claim of St. Marie for $4,000, the
balance alleged to be due for the discovery and
apprehension of John Ii. Surrattp YVES taken
up. The case grows out of the reward of
$25, GOO, offered for the arrest Ct surratt for
completely in the assassination conspiracy, and
is resisted by the Government Oh the ground
that st. Marie was fully compensated by the
reward of $4,000 given byact Of Congress, as
he merely pointed out Surratt to the authorities
and did not take him into bodily custody,
thereby relieving the Government of the i'm
piled contract. The further argument OF the
case was adjourned to Yesterday.

While the Viedicator is persistent in arraign-
ing the City Council, or the most OF its mem
bers, for corruption and INSTRUMENTATION,
even many of the friends of the primary cleo
ton repudiate and Scout the charge. 1t mat
tiers very little how rampant and reckless the
statements OF that journal may be, 30 one
here pays any serious attention to them. But
the impression has been created abroad, by the
Vindicator's publications. that there is cor
ruption in the city government OF grave ma
ture. Hence the necessity of the people them
selves administering rebuke, by the re cleo
ton OF the old council. This undoubtedly will
be the result. The cry OF party" viii have
little or no effect.

Double Suicide.

On the 18th inst. tile residents in the
usually quiet neghhorlool of Seventeenth and
Oxford streets, Philadelphia, were thrown into
a state OF excitement by llimors of murder
having been committed in that locality. Ser
geant Norberry, being notifiedsproceeted with
sqtiad OF men to the scene. and took possess
sion OF the premises No. 1902 Bowler street;
running between Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, near Oxford. before which large
crowd had assembled. Upon entering the
house he soon discovered the cause of the ex-
element On the floor of the parlor there Law
two bodies side by side-one of very fine
looking man OF dark complexion, the other
young and exceedingly pretty woman, the
latter being IN position as ff she had been
lying on sofa and had rolled off The Ser
geant, locking around the room, found a half
hl!ed tWo-onnce phial, marked prllssic acid.
upon the mantelp;ece, and seven shooter
Delllnger alon gslde the man. He then pro-
ceeded to examine the corpses, and found d
hole just above the heart of the man, with the
1lesh marked blue, showing that the revolver
must have been held very close to tie bolv
when the fatal shot was fired. DR.. J. v:
Cfahaall, residing at No 1913 North Eirh-
leelltll street, was present and Informed the
sergeant that lie had been summoned by a
Mrs. lAinef TO attend to case of sickness ae
the above address, and that when he reached
the house, much to his surprise, found the two
oodles lying In the positions described. After
examination of the bodies the doctor knew
that his skill would be of no avail, as life had
fled from both. The unfortunate couple are
named Sir. and Mrs. p. Schulz. Mr.. Sclnh was
q physician of good practice. 1t is said that
at about lO:30 Wednesday morning the doctor
rushed over to the house of Mrs. Killner, who
resides opposite, and requested her to go for
q physician, as his wife had taken poison.
fastening to comply with his request, Mrs.
hillner. after considerable difficulty, succeeded
in finding DR.. Crandall and brought him to-
Bowler street, with the result as mentioned.
There Is, as yet no authentic clue to the cause
OF this unhappy crime, the couple apparently
having lived contentedly together, despite the
disparity in their ages, the docter being about
fifty years Old, while his wife. certainly from
her appearance, could not have been ever twen-
", and nothing was left by either in e2plana-
lion.

The Real Estate Investigating Ccmmitteo
held meeting Saturday, when they heard Hon.
Zach. Chandler, Secretary of the Interior, in
relation to tile appointment of Pension Agent,
Clements, at Macon, Mo. He said Clements
was appointed on his own efforts, and not be-
cause Of the supposed influence that Mrs.
Bcggs had with the President, and that the
slc0 per month which Clements paid her was
not for her influence, but was his own arrange
ment, which related to an altogether different
matter. 1t seems to be the general impression
that the committee will again subpoena IIallett
kilbourn again before item, and ask him the
questions which he refused to answer, and it
he persists IN refusing to answer. to again ha
him committed to jail for contempt, and then
refuse to recognize the courts and keep him
there until he does answer. They argue that
unless the House las this poweE all investiya--
ton must come to an end.
