Supreme Conrt-October Term.

James Karson, respondent, vs.. The Mil.
yankee & st. Paul railroad company, appel
liant. Syllabus: The evidence tended to
show that the fire started in the grass near and
to the leaward of a railroad track few min.
utes after an engine had passed, and that no
person or other fire than that of the engine
was in the vicinity at the time.
Held, That this was sufficient to justify the
jury in finding the fire scattered or thrown
from the passing engine. Also, that this fact
being established,t a presumption of negli-
gence on the part of the railroad company
arose, and under the general statutes of ISIS,
chapter 81. section 60, the burden of proof
rested upon it to show affirmatively that it
was not guilty of negligence either as to the
construction, condition or manner of operat-
ing its engine. The evidence in this case
considered and held to justify the jury in
finding that it did not satisfactorily rebut this
presumption of negligence as to. the
condition of the engine which set the
fire. The fact that the plaintiff had not
plowed around stacks SO as to prevent fire
from reaching them was not negligence per
Sc. Whether it amounted to negligence was
a question of fact to be determined by the cir.
cumstances Of the case.
Order demanding new trial affirmed.

MAMMOTH R. R. ENTERPRISE.
A Scheme Inaugurated for Line of Road
From New Orleans Across Texas and New
Mexico, With Capital of Nearly Seven
teen Million Dollars

teen Million Dollars.
DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 1.-Articles of incorpor.
alton have been prepared and charters will be
secured within the next two weeks, for anoth-
er gigantic railroad enterprise in Texas, to be
known as the Gulf & Pacific road, to run
from New Orleans via Dallas to Isleta, New
Albuquerque, New Mexico, and form juno
ton with the Atlantic & Pacific. 1t will run
from New Orleans to Lalenine river via Ope-
lousas, distance of 200 miles, then to Dallas
over the Texas Trunk, absorbing that road a
distance of $50 miles, thence in a
the state in Bayley county, distance
of 400 miles; thence via Fort Sumter to Is
leta, in the valley of the Rio Grande. The en-
tire length of the road will be 1,130 miles.
The road will be in three separate divisions,
the Louisiana, the Texas and the New Mexico,
there will be three separate boards of directors.
1t is proposed to capitalize it at the rate of
ST., 900 per mile, making the stock $16,950,-
600, and the bonds al the same rate will be is
sued. The road will be operated by three
companies, incorporated under the laws of
louisiana, Texas and New Mexico. 1t will
be built by a construction company, formed
under the laws of New Jersey. The road is
backed by some of the strongest banks and
capitalists of New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Washington as well as Europe. The At
lantic & Pacific will be very
much interested in the Western end. The old
Spanish mines east of Albuquerque
recently reopened after an abandonment of
many years, are found to be incredibly rich,
and their owners will take large amount of
stock in the road. The Dallas & Western
road, recently organized to run through the
rich coal fields, will be abandoned, and the
Gulf & Pacific take its place. 1t is intended
to make Gen. D. E. Esyckles, identified with

Business Failures of 1881.

New YORK, Dec. 31.-The number of
business failures for the entire year of
1881, throughout the United states, is
stated by the mercantile agency of r. G.
Dun & Co. to be $3.50, involving liabili-
ties of slightly over 100000. The
failures for the year previous were 4, 1876.
with liabilities of 65,0OO,OOO. The in
crease is, however, regarded by the
agency as small in proportion to the enor-
morous growth in the volume of trade,
and especially in proportion to the num-
Der of persons engaged in business.
