Jacob Auerbach, wel-to-do crocervman

Ior the purpose Of purchasing goods and get
tlng married. He became the guest of a rel
atlve at No. 244 West Fifty-fifth street. Yes

business with wholesale dealers down town,
he met three friends, relatives of his bride.
ana u was resolved to make trip to Manhat-
TAN beach. They telesraphed to their ladies
10 come down on the Elevated train. and
awaited Their coming at the Franklin street
statlon. When the train with the ladies
aboard reached the station they boarded if.
They were alone on the platform. and only
the gate keeper saw them enter the cars. Mr..
Auerbach was the last, and as he stepped out
ol the station missed his ticket. Searching
ior 1t he was delayed until the train had
started, when, hurriedly handing the gate
Keeper ten-cent piece, he ran to get aboard.
lie gate OF the Car was closed, but Mr.,
Auerbach threw himself against it and en-
deavored to force it open. The co ,duclor
shouted to him to step back, but it was 90
lale. The Car had reached the end of the
PLATFORM and the man; still clutchinu the
closed gate, was thrown with great force
against the iron guard at the end He was
dragged over it and Immediately beyond fell
to the street, distance of twenty feet or
more. He struck OH his head aud was i'll
stanty killed.
Ills friends, meanwhile, had taken their
seas, unconscious of what had happened.
lhe Chambers street station had been nearly
reached when Mr.. Auerbachs bride inquired,
with wonder. what had become of her be-
trothed "He fell off," was the cool reply of
a brakeman. scene followed, and the
friends rushed back to the Franklin street
station, where they found Mr.. Auerbach dead
in the street. His body was taken to the
Leonard street station, where it Law last night
awaiting the C"roner's disposition.
One side of the dead mans head was
crushed in. Mr.. Auerbach was 32 years old.
The conductor of the train made a report of
the accident at the main office. Whether or
not he endeavored to push Oft the man who
clung to the closed gate, or made any effort
to help him, could not be ascertained, as there
was no one on the platform at the time except
the gate keeper, who had Just then turned his
back to exchange the ten cents given HIM by
Mr.. Auerbach, for ticket al the ticket office
,ferring second time to the fatality, the
the same paper says:
Whether the merchant, Auerbach. who was
killed on the Elevated railroad yesterday, was
| pushed off the car by the conductor, or fell in
reckless effort to board the trim while in
motion, will probably never be known. No
one saw the accident but the conductor. We
| can only draw differences .trem innumerabe
instances in which conductors have pushed
men off, but which did not result fatally as ir
this case.

New YORK, Friday evening, June %.
Bulllon--Ihe market, as indicated in our

strength abroad, and the advance would be
correspondingly shown here, but for lower
sterling exchange. The exchanges with the
East have strengthened on an improved India
business. If this recuperaton in business
continues, we may have higher rates for sill
Yer, notwithstanding the lower rates for ster-
ling which may be looked for with the COM
ing cotton exports.
Lead-rhe sales for the week amount to
about POO tons at 4.7564 soc. At the close,
the market was quiet but firm at 4.775c for
Richmond and 4.S0c for Missouri soft.

Insuinciency Of Highways.

Mr.. Jameson's recent article on the high

of attention among our readers He takes
up the subject again below, and brings
forward additional arguments against them.
lie calls for a demand on the part of the
voters for pledges from legislative can
didates in respect to this matter. That
would seem TO be feasible method to Sc
cure the object aimed at, and yet it might
not succeed. Most of our legislation seems
to be designed, directly or indirectly, to feed
lawyers and the officers of the law-to make
work for the courts. Any legislation look
ing the other way,-toward reducing court
business by lessening the causes of action
therein, goes through hard. Our liquor laws
are framed and administered not so much
to stop rum-selling as to make business for
the minions of the law. Our immoral di-
vorce law has its stronghold in the same
place. Any law making Vermont less
profitable state for lawyers to live in will
have hard road TO travel into the statute
book. Mr.. Jameson says A" In former ar
ticle were set forth some of the reasons why
towns should be released from liability te
pay damages experienced by travellers upon
the highways and bridges Of the state. The
extortionate demand, the costly litigation
the fictitious injury to health of many O
the plaintiffs, and the oppressive attitude O
those who speak of exemplary damages
are reasons enough why the law should b.
changed and the liability Of towns removed
