Mason Call, I'll
Conductor Trip was killed at this
place several months ago while coup.
ling cars. Suit for $4,000 damages
was brought against the railroad com
pany by Trips father. Last week
the case was tried at Brownsville, and
resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff,
the jury assessing the damages at
$4,000. The main point Of the argu-
ment by the plaintiff was that the
company was guilty Of ~carelessness in
allowing a railroad spike, against
which I:ipp struck his foot and fell
between the cars, to protrude above
the rail. The company will probably
carry the case to the Supreme Court.

this city Friday night last at 10
o'clock. He had been a patient suf-
ferer with rheumatism for the past

French Atlanta Cable to the Herald.l
LONDON, October 24-The govern

League in the arrest of DR.. Kenney.
He is a popular Dublin surgeon, aad
has taken ne public part in the agita-
ton, but was one of the honorary
.treasurers Of the League and gave
medical advice to those imprisoned
The cause Of his arrest was the desire
Of the government to cripple the
financial department Of the League.
1t is considered a mistake that the
government has net arrested Nh.
Eagan, as the League will be power
less if the flow of money were
stopped. There is still, however, a
sufficient number Of members free to
sign checks. AT a quarter past eight
this morning Detective Simmonds
knocked at DR.. Kenney's residence.
He being in bed, the detective sent
up a letter to his bedroom by one OF
the servants. The letter contained
Mr.. Forster's warrant. DIR. Ken
ney sent down word in
timating that he would be
ready after a short interval. Mr..
Reed and some personal friends were
sent for by DR.. Kenney, who break
tasted andWrote a farewell message To
his relatives. Mrs. Kenney, his wife.
is at present in Paris, and has been
communicated with by telegraph. AT
ten o'clock DR.. Kenney was ready Il
accompany Mr.. Forster's agent. The
party drove on the outside of a car L
Kilmainham. The following add
tional arrests have been made: Mr.
Griffin, at Loughrea; Messrs, Kelly
and 0'Toole, at Baltinglass, and Mr.
Brennan, at Sligo. All are active or.

that we might have the best advantages to

that Senator Nancy has not looked to the

AMI who dees net do this, either in tho pub
