No Excuse for Neglig ence.

The principle of law that relieves an
employer from liability to an employee
for injuries that have been caused by
the negligence of a co-employe has
been carried to great length by the
Court of Appeals in decision render
ed in the suit of William L. Harvey,
executor, etc, against the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
Company. The action was brought
by the plaintiff to recover for the kill
in of his son, who was fireman on
the railroad and whose death was
caused by a misplaced switch at the
Lyons Depot in January, 1877. 1t
was claimed that the railroad company
was negligent in not employing a
sufficient number of competent switch
men at that station. 1t appeared by
the evidence of the man whose negli-
gence caused the accident, that he was
more than sixty years old; that he
was taken from the position of bag
gageman and made a switchman
| against his own will, and that he had
more duties to perform than onght to
have been required of him. But it
was also shown that his work required
little skill, and that when the accident
happened he had just let local train
out of the freight yard at the Lyons
station, and then, forgetting to read
just his switch, had walked down to
the depot There he seated himself
on box and entered into converse
tion with friend, and, while thus en-
gagged, young Harvey's train came
along, ran off the misplaced switch
and Harvey was killed. On the first
trial the justice non suited the plaintiff
The general term granted new trial,
holding that the question should have
been submitted to the jury as to
whether the company was negligent
in employing an incompetent man or
an insufficient number of men to care
properly for the switches. On the
second trial the jury gave the plairtiff
a verdict for $4,000, and this was sus-
tanned by the general term. The
Court of Appeals has now set aside
the judgment of the lower courts,
Judge Tracy writing the opinion. 1t
is held that even if the switchman was
not fully qualified to perform the
duties of his position at the time he
was employed, he had ample opportu-
nifty before the accident to quality him
self that it was of no consequence
that the company required service of
him that he could not properly per-
form, since when the accident happen
I'd he had abundance of time in which
to re-adjust the switch that, therefore,
the primary cause of young Harveys
death was the negligence of co-em-
ploye, for which the master was not
liable --Neao York Tribune.

VI CO"Neo'yote~'
This is especially true of a
family medicine, and it is posi-
tive proof that the remedy initiated
is of the highest value.
AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world
that Hop Bitters was the purest,
best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many imita-
tions sprung up and began to steal
the notices in which the press and
people of the country had express
ed the merits of II. B., and in
every way trying to induce suffer-
ing invalids to use their stuff in
stead, expecting to make money
on the credit and good name Of
II. B.
Many others started nostrums
put up in similar style to II. B.,
with variously cunningly devised
names in which the word Chop"
or "Hops" were used in way to
induce people to believe they were
the same as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures,
no matter what their style or name
is, andzespecially those with the
word "Hop" or "Hops" in their
name or in any way connected
with them or their name, are imi-
tations or counterfeits.
Beware of them. Touch none
of them, but: Use nothing but
genuine HOP Bitters, with bunch
or cluster of green Hops on the
white label. Trust nothing else.
Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in limitations or
counterfeits. .A (Y

An act OF Kindness Only.

William Kyne feels thatinjustice has
been done him in the report that he in
suited some ladies in Senator BayaId's
carriage at the Pennsylvania depot On
Saturday evening, as IL was only hisin
tention to befriend them, One OF the
ladies a member OF Senator Bayard's g
family who was present In the carriage,
exonerates MIR. Kyne in the following
statement:
"Mr. Kyne did not insult or intend
to insult the ladies in the Senator's car
riaRe. He first approached them oy
asking in kindly manner il he might
turn their carriage for them, evidently
intending only courtesy. Upon his
second approach he attempted TO ex'
plain that he had not intended to
offend them and extended his hand in
apology.
AS the young ladies did not know Mr..
Kyne they were naturally startl J and
annoyed by the occurrence. He has
since called at the Senator'S re idence
and expressed his regret that he should
inadvertently have given either alarm
or annoyance TO any member OF the
family"
