Rights of Passengers.

THE case of George Van Houten, of Chi
cago, against the Pittsburg, Cincinnati &
st. Louis Railway Company in the United
States Circuit Court, terminated yester-
day by the jury returning a verdict of
two thousand dollars for plaintiff In
this case there were but two passenger
cars comprising the train, and the plain
tiff, after purchasing a ticket at Logans-
port, entered the front car and found it
pretty well filled with smoke, which was
offensive to him. He left it and went
into the rear car, where he found the
seats all occupied, a few of them with
but one passenger and baggage. When
the conductor came in and demanded
fare, the plaintiff showed his ticket and
requested a seat in the car. The conductor
told him to go into the front car. The
plaintiff replied that he had been in there,
and that the smoke made him sick, and
refused to give up his ticket unless fur
nishedwith seat in first-class car. The
conductor, without attempting to furnish
a seat, stopped the train, and, with the
assistance of his brakeman, put him off,
he resisting with all his strength. The
conductor then threw his valise off on the
opposite side of the train. This occurred
three miles from LoganspOrt, in the
woods, and plaintiff walked back to the
city and brought suit, with result as
above. The case was strongly contested
at every point. nt.-IadianapoLis Sentinel.

A DECISION of interest to life-insurance
companies and policy holders has been re-
Gently rendered by the Supreme Court of
the United States, to the effect that where
the terms of policy secure the company
from liability if the insured commits sui
eide, whether sane or insane, such exemp-
tion is valid, and the holder of the policy
cannot recover. A plea of insanity had
been entered in lower court, but the
company showed that the terms of the
policy secured them from liability for su-
icidal deaths, sane or insane, and the Court
decided that the company was not liable,
which decision was fully sustained by the
Supreme Court.
