Court here to-day rendered decision i'll the
case of Sarah w. Stanley VS.. the city Of Dav-
export which created considerable excitement
as it will affect every city in the State upon
whose streets railways are allowed. The ap-
pellant was injured by her horse being fright
ened by the engine of street railway COM
pany and running away, and she sued the
company. The court below rendered ver
dict against her, but the Supreme Court re-
versed this decision, holding the city liable
for all damages to persons or property by the
running of said steam motors, since the city
has no authority to convey title to streets or
authorize their use for private purposes, nor
for public purposes, except by legislative au-
thority, which renders it dangerous to public
travel.
SIOUX CITY, Oct. 27.-Reports received
state that Spotted Tails Indians in south
western Dakota had serious outbreak last
week. A warrior shot Henry Young, an
agency employee, claiming his heart was bad
from mourning for his sisters death. Agent
Newell arrested the Indian and during the
entire night his comrades from the hills fired
on the camp and eventually compelled New
ell to surrender him. The Indians the re-
warded the escaped warrior. The troops are
17S miles away.
ATCHIsON, KS, Oct. 27.-An accident on
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific occurred

| ing five persons jumped the track and turned

orator, was killed and several others were
badly scalded. J. G. Null, brakeman, and
n. NJ. Holmes have since died. Holmes has
been superintendent of bridges ON the road

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Sherman's speech
last night is strongly criticised by the Times,
which says -" The services which Sherman
might have rendered to his party and to the
country remain to be performed. His speech,
excellent as in many respects it is, evades the
serious aspect of financial questions and
CLOSES over the palpable hindrances to the
permanent working of resumption. The
speech is campaign speech and nothing
more 1t is not a contribution to the stock of
financial knowledge which should have been
furnished by the author and administrator Of
the Resumption Act, familiarized by eX-
perience with its weak points and alive to the
necessity of correcting that before their cir
culaton became irremedable." The Times
then goes on to explain how continued coin
age of silver will ultimately be prolific
source of embarrassment and will at no dis
tant day drive gold out of circulation. From
this the Times argues that Sherman's state
ment that resumption was triumphant sue
cess is not true.
The stock market craze developed into extra
ordinary proportions yesterday and recorded
transactions reached the unprecedented ag-
gregate of nearly $4,000 shares. The largest
previous day was 53o,O0O shares. The great
est excitement prevailed and the fluctuations
were very violent. The Times has all editC.
rial OH the subject warning speculators that
everything that goes up must come doW1
some time, and expressing the hope that We
shall have no more South Sea bubbles ant
Black Fridays.
