Queens Bench Division Inlu Io-Gi.
tings at Nisi Prius. Before Mr.. Justice
Field and a common jury-West agt. Fur
nival.-This was an action brought by
Capt. West, of the Royal Artillery, to re-
cover compensation for an injury occa-
stoned to his mare through the alleged neg
ligence of Major Furnival, the defendant.
On the Goth of April, 1875, the plaintiff
sent his servant with the mare to latter
sails with q view of selling her. When
they weie passing the Railway tavern at
New Cross a horn was blown by one of the
defendants servants, who was on the Beck
enham coach, of which the defendant is the
proprietor and driver, and which was pass
ing at the time.
The case for the plaintiff was that the
mare, which was close to the curb, turned
round, and the coach was driven against
her, and she was badly cut.
The case for the defendant was that the
horn was not blown when the coach was
near the mare that it was in the middle
OF the road and the mare, frightened by
the noise of the coach backed into the hind
wheel OF the coach and was injured.
The jury returned q verdict for the plain
tiff-damages ESQ.
1t was objected that the amount claimed
was only f23 3s.
His lordship amended the claim.
Mr.. Wilberforce appeared for the plain
tiff Mr.. George Brown for the defendant.

A Race Between a Carrier Pigeon
and a Locomotive Engine.

Dover is seventy miles from London, 'as
the crow flies" and seventy-six and a half
miles by railroad, and a few days ago there
was an exciting race between the two cities.
The French police wished TO forward to
London a very important document as
quickly as possible, and the question was
whether a carrier pigeon or the "Continen-
tai Mail Express could take it the sooner.
1t was determined to try in a competi-
tive manner both means Of conveyance.
The railroad company selected its strongest
and fastest engine and the French police
hired the services OF a ''Belgian ~voyageur,"
which is of the best breed OF homing pig
cons. At the moment that the train start
ed the little messenger, with the document
fastened to him was tossed out of a window
of a car. Flying shout half a mile high,
for a minute he circied about as If in search
OF bearings, and then took a straight
course for London. His apparent hesita-
ton led the railroad officers to feel conf
dent in their own success. They made
their iron horse stretch every nerve, and
they scored a mile for every minute. But
in the hazy, sunny atmosphere, and borne
along by the west wind, the bird beat the
train by twenty minutes-a time allowance
representing eighteen miles. He accom-
plished in tifty-six minutes what the engine
was seventy'slx minutes in accomplishing.

Bought His Own Daughter,

Last fall a young lady Of Willismstown,
Mass, married ar employe of one Of the
mills at that place, much TO the dispIeasure
of her father, who is one Of the leading
men of the town. The marriage was a
secret one, and the couple left the place
Immediately after the ceremony. The
father followed and brought the girl home,
but he could not quench the love that she
bore for her husband. AT length the father
became partially reconclled to the situation
and allowed the husband to live at his
house. About two weeks g the young
man was induced for the sum Of $500 to
relinquish all claims to his wife and he left
the place. Considerable talk has been had
concerning the queer transaction.

THE OTHER WAY.

We commented, yesterday, on the course
pursued by certain railroad companies in
regard to the "strikers," and stated that,
In our judgment, such a policy would tend
to a renewal of strikes upon every conven-
lent opportunity, and that dissatisfied
woIkmen would plot for such opportuni-
ties and seize almost any pretext to inter-
rupt trains hoping thereby to compel the
companies to accede to their demands well
knowing, that in the event of a failure,
they would be welcomed back to their old
places and "no questions asked" In
marked contrast to the action of the Penn
Sylvania, Fort Wayne, Delaware aud Lack
awanna, Baltimore and Ohio, Canada
Southern, Lake Shore, Michigan Southern,
and some other railroad companies, is that

River, the New Jersey Central, the LebiQh
The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1877-08-02

Valley roads, and perhaps of two or three
other companies.
The managers of these roads seem to
think that they, instead of the employees,
manage and control the running of trains,
the hiring and paying of employees and the
rate of wages they can afford and are will
ling to pay. 1t is, perhaps, q wild, reck-
less idea that managers, directors and
stockholders have any interest, immediate
or remote, in the railroads they run or pro-
TESS to run, or any rights which employees
are bound to respect-but they seem pretty
thoroughly imbued with the idea, and are
practically and promptly acting upon it.
Thus the employees of the Lehigh Valley
railroad company were paid off, Monday,
and each striker, on presenting himself,
not only received his pay, but a red card
inscribed with the simple but expressive
word discharged" And so, ON the New
Jersey Central railroad, some of the strik-
ing brakemen, becoming sick of their inno-
cent little diversion of stopping trains and
lntimidating other workmen, returned to
work again, expecting the fatted calf was
ready for the killing and that their old pay
and old places were anxiously awaiting
them but the company quietly informed
them that their services were no longer
needed. This course, may, perhaps, delay
the running of trains for a few days long
er, may provoke fresh disturbances, but is
1t not evident that when quiet is once more
restored, it will be next to impossible to
make Roadway with another strike? The
wages paid may be too low-in many cases
we think they have been too low-but men
| will not risk a ''strike" when they know
that instead of lettering their condition
the result will be a permanent loss of occu-
patton. And it is about time that men,
whatever their position or condition,
learned that real or fancied wrongs cannot
be redressed by disregarding the rights of
others, and that lawle'sness does not pay.
The course OF William H. Vanderbilt,
the president of the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad companies, was still
| better, and will tend still more 10 prevent
"strikes" On the roads under his immediate
management. He has not only given direc-
tions for the discharge of all the men en-
gagged in the strikes-one hundred men
were discharged at West Albany, Tuesday
but he has appropriated one hundred
thousand dollars TO be divided among the
employees as a marked recognition of their
faithfulness when 30 many others we're
found faithless. In the circular announc-
ing the appropriation, he says: 1.-THE pol
'icy of the company heretofore adopted
will apply to the present as well as future
emergencies. Men who, in time of trial,
"strike and embarrass its operation by vio-
silently stopping others from doing their
''duty cannyt remain or re-enter its service
This is the true doctrine, because it is that
which governs every business man in his
own private affairs. Rewards to the faith
full no concessions to or employment of
the faithless. Such a course adopted by all
railroad companies would render impossible
a repetition or the scenes of rioting, arson
and murder which have 80 disgraced the
| country for the past few DAYS.
The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1877-08-02

The rioting strikers have received con-
siderable public sympathy because it was
believed that they were driven, in the first
instance, into their violent course for the
reason that their wages were insu fficient to
enable them to procure the common neces-
saries of life that, in fact, it was an earn
est and honest, though mistaken, demand
for ''bread." Yet we read that in one
place in Pennsylvania the rioters, with
hardly an exception, removed cigars from
their mouths so as to be able to cry "bread"
''bread"; and that near Mauch Chunk, in
the same state, they marched from one
mine to another with loaves Of bread stuck
on poles. Surely these rioters, if they
could afford cigars and use loaves of bread
for standards, were not much in danger Of
starvation.

THE STOLEN RAILROAD TICKETS.
]. g. Pierce, the Pawnhroker Witness in the
Pbair Case, o Party.


The Boston Globe says Tuesday MORN
ing, 1,60o tickets, stolen some time since
from the Lowell and Boston and Maine
railroads, were recovered by Superintendent
Crowley from the pawn shop of ]. @.
Pierce, 20 Howard street. A short time
ago, officers at the Eastern railroad institu-
ted a search for tickets stolen from that
company, and a friend of the latter, learn
ing that a large number Of tickets had been
sold to Pierce, informed the officials 'and
the property was seized, although 1t proved
to be tickets belonging to other companies.
Twelve hundred were those of the Boston
and Maine, and the remaining 400 those of
the Lowell road, and they were all valued
at $3.50. 1t is alleged that they we're stolen
by a young man of responsibility against
whom the companies will not bring action,
and that he received but 800 for the entire
lot. Pierce, the proprietor of the pawn
shop, was one Of the principal witnesses
against John p. Phair, who is now under
sentence Of death in the Vermont state
prison, having given what was considered
important testimony relating TO the DISPOSE
ton of the jewelry said to have been stolen
by Pbair. Pierce has, it is alleged, ''done
time" behind the bars, and his reputation
for honesty is decidedly unsound.

Alexander Ii. Stephens, than whom there
Is no better judge i'll the country, says that
President Hayes is accomplishing what
Tilden never could have done; that the
enforcement of his "policy, as it is called,
has caused a wonderful revolution in pub
lie sentiment at the north and that "the
=" Inauguration of Mr.. Hayes was equal, in
the good it has effected, to the abdication
"of James II of England" We think
that MIR. Stephens correctly represents the
better sentiment of the country, and that
four-ffths of the people-republicans and
democrats alike-now that the bitterness
engendered by the contest Is over, regard the
peaceable solution of the presidential ques-
ton, and especially the fact that II resulted
In his Inauguration, as one of the grandest
and most beneAcent events in the history
OF America. There are a few democrats
loft who talk about "fraud"; and a few
republicans who whisper TRAITOR; but the
mass of the American people recognize the
fact that the Inauguration of Tiiden would
have kept this southern question open
from, at least, four TO eight years longer,
put off the day of reconciliation for a much
longer period, kept the north and south in
constant turmoil, and embittered our poll
tics for a generation or more; while the
enforcement of Hayes "policy"-which is
nothing more than strictly regarding the
constitution and lsws-has virtually settled
all OF these questions, SO that before a quar-
ter OF his term of office has expired they
will not be heard of In American politics
and we shall be one country-a Union-in
fact as well as in name.
