A Court Which Allowed No Tramping
on Its Ooat-tails,


An Arkansas man who was elected
from railroad car, shortly afterward
brought suit for damages, and, after a
long and interesting hearing of the
cause, the Judge delivered thefollowing
charge to the jury:
1.-The plaintiff boarded the train for
the purpose of travelling a short dis
tance. He had no money-a fact which
he frankly confessed. There was plenty
of room in the car, so the plain
tiff was in no ones way. The train is
in the habit of travelling the road-in
fact, it has to GO along there. The train
would have arrived at its destination
just as soon if the plaintiff had been on
board. The machinery would not have
been worn any more by hauling the
plaintiff. The president of the road
would not have been in the least injured.
And now. in view of all these facts
that the train had to 90 anyway; that
there was plenty of room in the car, and
that the train would not have been in
jured by the plaintiff charge you to
bring in a heavy judgment in favor of
the plaintiff, and that as healthful ex-
ample to all parties concerned, the con-
ductor be sent to jail for six months,
and also that the clerk of this court
furnish the president of the road with an
account of these proceedings, together
with an opinion that he, the president,
don't live far enough up the creek to
tramp on the coat-tails of this Court

WASHINGTON NOTES.

| WASHINGTON Feb. 19.-Rerdell to-day
testified that among the papers stolen from
him was memorandum in S w. Dorsey 8
hand with tabular statement of the num-
Der of routes, and the expected increase
figured on basis of from $50 TO $50 per
cent. He saw Dorsey at the hotel in New
York, when Dorsey was greatly excited
any charged witness with being trailer
and of holding interviews with James and
MacVeagh Witness also got excited and
left. He went to Jersey City and thence
telegraphed to Dorsey: 1.-THE affidavit
story is a lie confidence between us is
gone. I resign my position, sand will turn
over everything to anyone you may desig-
nate" Dorsey sent letter and two tele-
grams in response, saying he didn't be
lieve the stories about the witness
and besought him in the name of
his wife and children not to
go back on him, for Gods sake
reconsider anything he might have done
and take no further steps until Dorsey saw
him. Dorsey had accused witness of max
ing affidavits against him before MacVeagh
and James. Witness told Dorsey that Mac
Veagh said if Dorsey would make full,
open story of the postal frauds MacVeagh
would not even use him as a government
witness against anybody else Dorsey in
vited witness to his residence and asked if
he wanted to ruin him. Dorsey asked how
he could get out of the trouble, and wit
ness promised to do anything possible to
help him, except TO commit perjury.
Dorsey said. Damn it! what does that
amount to when friends fate is at stakel
I've been your friend for long years. l

THE MINE DISASTER.

BRAIDwoOD, H., Feb. 19.-The work OF
rescuing the bodies of the buried miners
has assumed a more business-like manner
Three companies of workmen have been
formed, consisting of sixty men Each
work eight hours, day and night. Tram
ways had been built to carry dirt to the
dam, and at 10 o'clock this morning the
dam was completed and the pumping com
menced, with two pumps and box low
cred and raised on a cage box, which has a
capacity of five barrels. At O'Clock to
night the water had lowered five feet in the
main shaft This they think very encour-
aging. Three more large pumps will
arrive tonight. Considerable complaint
is heard thas the coal companies are not
using sufficient effort to get the water out
Some suggest that the vast quantity living
on the land for miles around should be
drained. and that it would cause the water
pumped out to flow away from the shaft
and obviate the necessity of building the
dam higher, and would draw the water from
the ground around the hole and probably
prevent more caving, which is much feared,
as the shaft underneath the surface around
the cavity is filed with quicksand. Super
intendent Carey, of the c., w. & N Coal
company, says that draining the land
would be impossible, as, il bitches were
dug, the quicksand would soon fill
them up. Other superintendent are of
abe opinion that the Diamond company is
doing all that can be DONE unless it he to
get more pumps
At meeting of citizens and miners of
this community to-day, Mayor McLaugh-
lin presided, and Adjt Gen. Elliott was
pr sent by direction of Gov. Hamilton, to
inform him of the necessities of the suf-
ferers. Gen. Elliott was called upon and
1,
sufferers, and read the following letter from
Gov. Hamilton.
GEN. j. I'll. ELLIOTT. Adjutant General:
Dear Slr-A terrible calamity has befallen
the miners employed in the Diamond coal
mines, near Braidwood. The misfortune
loudly appeals for public aid and sympathy.
Something ought to be done for the suffer
ing people. am not sure whether it is in
the constitutional power of the executive
or the Legislature of the state to do any
thing for them or not; but If anything can
be done it ought to be done promptly L
feel very solicitious about the matter, and
in order to be personally and semi officially
advised as TO the extent of the calamity
and the necessities of the people advise
and request that you proceed Immediately
to the scene of the disaster to-aight, if /
possible, and make as full an investigation
as you can as to theextent of the calamity,
the suffering. and the immediate necessities
of the case, and make a report of the same
in writing without delay / hope you can
get away at once.

G N. Elliott said his report to the Gen.
eral will be that these widows and orphans

diate assistance of this city and county,
but of the state and country A resolution

The shape Of the new spring bonnets is
medium. No bonnet so tiny as the small
capotes which have been popular this
winter are shown, and no huge polxes like

Colored straws in every shade and tint are

is predicted, and the dandelion is the flower

bonnet mixed with pompons and ribbon,
or two shades of the flower in ribbon-the
pale, lemon-like tint of the edge of the

center of the Blossom are used. An
exquisite little cottage bonnet of
Havana brown straw is trimmed
on the briIn with a mass of
gold-colered pompons. ostrich tips dande
lions, flowers, buds and leaves. and a ros-
ette-like bow of gold velvet at one side
Strings of gold velvet two inches wide fin

of pale strawberry pink straw has band
of velvet an inch and q half wide placed
near the edge of the brim. A large bow
of satin ribbon in strawberry color and in
two widths, one an inch wide, the other
two inches, is placed on top of the RIM
and cluster of long stemmed dandelfons
is nestled at one side. The strings of the
bonnet are double in the two widths of the
ribbon. Black lace pokes, with tiny
capotes in ecru lace and gold tinsel lace are

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[From our Regular Correspondent. ]

from our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10, 1883.
There has been an intolerable amount al
grnmbling by government clerks over the
proposition pending in congress to increase
their hours to eight instead of seven. The
departments are now open from a. m. to
D. M, and most of the clerks work from
five to six hours, an hour or SO being taken
at noon for lunch and loafing, and half an
hour being wasted both morning and even
ing in getting ready to begin and preparing
to quit The idea of adding one to these
hours makes the average clerk frantic
These clerks are continually making out
that their lot is not a happy one. but they
entirely forget that they spent their time
ana money freely in getting their places,
and that not one in ten would go back to
his native place if there he could get the
same wages he gets here To those fami-
liar with the personnel of the departments
these complaints provoke smile. When
one takes out the members of the families
of officials who do nothing but draw their
pay, the people who are put there By lob
byists, those who got there because they
thought il was a soft place. those
who are young and strong and per
fectly capable of making living else
where and prefer to vegetate in a gov
eminent Office on ST. 200 or 81 500 wear
to going to work, the proportion that de
serve sympathy is small indeed. But
these are not the worst. There are not
few clerks in all the departments who pay
little attention to the nours-who come
when they choose and go. when they
please. Not long ago case was pub
ished IN paper here Tecounting that
woman clerk OF influence found at the
end of the month her absence and dilatory
arrivals deducted from her pay according
to the new rule. Off she flew, mentioned
her influence, and Indignantly demanded
the remainder of her pay. The clerk, af-
ter thinking it over, handed the money to
her. and she went of Boosting of her ex-
plot. Next morning dozens of women
clerks held Indignation meetings about il:
each thought herself was alluded to in the
paper, and the incident disclosed that in
stead of becoming an exceptional ease it
had happened very often Nobody has
word to say against the hard working
women who support themselves and often
their families by conscientious work, but
these work uncomplainingly; nor for the
men who are disabled from other enlulov-
ents, but to see woman spending her
wages in fine clothes, or ysuIig and able
bodied man tucked away in government
berth, living on pittance rather than 20
to wOrk-and half the employees belong to
these two classes-inspires universal dis
gust and Reproduction. MANY of the wom
en- clerks lived in remote places where 5000
a Gear would be affiueHce. They come to
Washington and in six months their ideas
