TIL. way Boys Get Hurt on Street
Cars aud Railroads.
WHEELING, MARCH 18th 1878.


Editors IniellIsenser.
There have been several cases in our
courts against the street railway, to re-
cover damages for the killing or naming
Of children, believe there is case in
court now TO recover damages from the
above corporation, and in all these cases,
It is just through the dare devil conduct
Of these children that they are killed or
hurt.
Just to cite one instance, which came
under the writer's observation the other
day, (which Ia one Of many a street car
wa. coming up the street and a boy about
eleven years old wanted to cross the street
and be walked deliberately into the mid;
die Of the street car track, and stood
there until the mules nose touched his
shoulder, when he jumped of the track.
Now that Is only one case out Of a hun
dred that occurs every week. Suppose
that boy had been knocked down and
hurt: the parents would have brought
an action for damages, and II he had been
killed the driver would have been ar
rested for murder. have seen boys
clingipg to street cars, their feet drag
gins on the ground, and yet this company
must pay damages for the reckiessness Of
boys jumping on and of street cars.
The company employ competent and
careful drivers, aud look TO the welfare
OF their patrons, and while in the dis
charge Of their duties II is impossible 10
= watch every boy in Wheeling, because
there are scores Of them. II any one
will take the pains to watch tue boys on
the P. W. & Ky. Railroad hanging on the
cars while in motion, and up at the turn
table, they will sec acme one get killed
for meddling with what does not concern
them. As soon as there Ia al accident
the company must pay damages. This ID
not written in the interest OF the
s.reet car company or the rail.
road but in justice, that the blame
may be put where 1t belongs. This Ii
what comes under the observation Of per
sons every day, and yet there are juries to
be found who give damages against these
corporations in violation Of justice OF
even law. Why? because generally
speaking, the parties, who get into the
courts with these cases are poor and the
attorney pushes it, in order 10 get his fee
and is cuts enough to tell the jury that
IL the case Is decided against the plaintiff
in this case, the county, State, or city will
have to pay the cost, and tina. would mo-
do ut ali. Nearly all the cases tried IL
this County Court are nothing but
farce.
Not wlahing 10 take up too mucl
space in your valuable journal, l woult
Just say this in conclusion, that hereaitel
these cases should receive the condemns
tion they deserve. I. N. Z.

TalIest Couple in the world.

Capt. Martin Van Buren Bates
was born in Whitesburg, Letcher
county, KY, Nov. 8, 1876. He is
seven feet eleven and One-half
inches in height, and weighs 418
pounds. His father was ABOUT six
feet tall and his mother was q lady
of ordinary stature, In 1849 Miss
Anna H. Swan was born in Colches-
ter county, Nova Scotia. She was
as tall as her mother when six years
of age, but she continued to shoot
upward, until to-day she is exactly
the same height as her husband,
seven feet eleven and One-half
inches, her weight being Alb pounds.
These two were married in London
some years ago, and on returning
from their bridal tour, found an
order from the Queen awaiting
them, requiring them to present
themselves at Buckingham Palace.
They had previously appeared be-
fore the Prince of Wales and the
members of the Masonic Lodge Of
which he is a member, and it is
probable that he had aroused his
mothers curiosity by his description
of them: She made them both
bridal gifts. 1he Captain received
a massive gold striking watch, the
case weighing nine ounces and the
watch over a pound, while with the
immense neck chain the whole
weighed over three pounds. The
bride was presented with an inn
mense diamond cluster ring, con-
tai ling seven white jewels. Both
the lady and gentleman are perfect
ly proportioned, every member
corresponding and aidingto produce
a symmetrical but colossal figure.
Mrs. Bates requires for an evening
dress eighty yards of material.

Auigntors Attack an OK.

The Tallahassee FyOriCljdn says:
'FThat the alligator should attack
an OK will be surprising news even
to those who are thoroughly famil-
lar with the habits of the freSh-water
monster. We have been furnished
bv an eyewitness with the inter
esting details of the strange en-
counter, last week, at Lake jackson.
The OK went into the lake to drink,
and was attacked by the alligator,
whose mouth closed on the fOreleg
of the animal, crushing the bone.
The OK started Immediately out of
the water, dragging the alligator.
Enraged with pain, the poor animal
reared and plunged wildly, endeav-
oring to horn his antagonist. Mean
while the edge Ofthe lake was black
with the snouts of alligatOrS which
had smelled the blood that ran from
the OK when first struck in the
water. Four or five of the monsters
crawled out, and, with wide open
mouths, started for the attack.
Meanwhile the OK lOosened the hold
of his antagonist, and, smarting
under the wound, went in with in=
furiated ardOr to the assault of the
reinforced assailant, He caught
one of the alligators ON his horns,
and threw him high in the air, the
clumsy thing falling heavily to the
ground, where it lay stunned. An
other was tossed far into the lake.
But the gallant OK was, by a false
maneuvre, again in the water, in
which element his activity was i'm
peded, and being surrounded by his
foes, one of which caught him by
the nose and pulled his head under
water, he soon fell a victim to the
drowning"

Gambctta ON the treaty Of Berlin.

PARIS. July 24.-Gambetta, in an
interview concerning the treaty of
Berlin, said: In my opinion, it
may be affirmed that the congress at
Berlin has modified in a very essen
tial way the basis of understanding
of 1873, and think France has eve
ry reason to approve a change which
modifies a combination formed
apart from her, if not against her.
The change brought about in Eng
lands policy is another consequence
of not less importance, resulting
from the congress, on which France
can not but congratulate herself. In
establishing herself at Cyprus as an
advanced guard, and in constituting
herself the protector of the Asiatic
interests of Turkey, England has
abandoned that policy which l shall
call insular, to resume her policy OF
WatchfulnesS on the continent.
France can not but hail this change
with gladness. Things have retur-
ned to their natural and logical
course. The interests of France and
England are so closely connected
that the return of England to a less
narrow policy rescues the two States
from the temporary isolation into
which they chanced to fall. In con-
sequence of the change brought
about by the congress, the interests
of England and Austria are identi-
cal in the East. The interests of En-
gland and France, already some
Whatidentical, have become more
so and congratulate myself, in
thename ofmy country, ona change
which / deem very fortunate and
very assuring for every one. | will
not enter further into detailed eX-
animation of the treaty, which |
should not be able, perhaps, to APP
prove in all its parts but what |
have mentioned will prove to you
that / can not be classed among
those who are adversaries of the
work of the Berlin congress.

Fields of Roses.

The roses of Chazipoor, on the
river Ganges, are cultivated in enor-
NOUS fields of hundreds of acres.
The delightful odor from these fields
can be smelled at seven niles dist
ance on the river. The valuable
article of commerce known as ''attar
of roses" is made In the following
manner: On forty pounds Of roses
are poured sixty pounds of water,
and they are then distilled over a
slow fire, and thirty pounds of rose
water obtained. This rose water is
then poured over forty pounds of
fresh roses, and from that is dis
titled, at most, twenty poun.s of
rose water; this is then ex-
posed to the cold night air, and in
the morning a small quantity of oil
is found on the surface. From
eighty pounds of rOses-abOut two
hundred thousand-at the utmost
an ounce and a half Of oil is obtain
ed, and even at Chazipoor, 1t costs
forty rupees-twenty dollars-an
ounce.
