their friends lose lots of money. Tho
Chicagos succeeded in downing" tho
Boston's by the score of 4 to 1, and the
New York team were defeated by tho
Buffalos to the tune Off to 4. 1t is by no

MONDAY EVENING. MAY al, 1888.
Railway PerilS.

1t was a fourteen year old boy who
put upon the rails the plank that caused
the destruction of a train of cars and
the death of Geo. NJ. Hahn. His con
fessed motive was /" to see the cars
jump" Whether it was the inspiration
of natural depravity. or was the conse
quence simply of mental unsoundness
that this boy caused great disaster to
crafty his curiosity, will be matter
for the court to investigate and deter
mine. But the insanity or depravity
which could make such calamity pos
sible is something that the Legislature
should protect the community against if
it can and it can. Railroad COM
panies should be obliged to keep their
tracks under a constant watch. 1t is but
unreasonable requirement. 1t is one that
= is required for their own protection and
the safety of the public. 1t is required
in other countries. The cost should be
no consideration against it, if it's advisa
bility is otherwise conceded.
This accident shows that those who
travel on railroads are in a constant
peril, which cannot be avoided by any
care in tho management of the trains.
There was no neglect of duty here in the
engine driver. The disaster was unavOid-
able, because the obstacle on the track
was not discoverable in time to prevent
it, owing to the curve in the track and
the cut near whose entrance the plank
was placed. A passenger train had
passed over this point of the road just a
half hour before the destroyed freight
train approached it. In that half hour a
weak boy had managed to put the oh
struction on the rails. There is but one
conceivable way in which the disaster
might have been prevented and that is
by having had the rails under the con
slant supervision of a Waterman. AS in
sanity or wickedness may at any moment
prompt the obstruction ci railway tracks
a prudent care for the safety of thOs'
who travel on them seems to impera
tiyely demand the constant watching q
the rails.
Nor would the cost be heavy. ;er
the line is straight and no road crossing
occur, the supervision possible to TIN
engine driver, would be sufficient. Onl
when curves occur, which prevent hi
observations of the track for a distanc
ahead, that would suffice to enable hin
to stop his train, or where road crossing
occur, that are liable momentarily to b
occupied, would watchmen need to b
employed. At road crossings such
guard is needed for the protection of tn
traveller upon both rail and road, an
in so thickly settled country as tina
through which Pennsylvania railroad
pass, the Legislature is urgently re
quired by its considerations for the safe
ty of the people to require railroads
diligently watch their tracks.

foot Register:
While the court was in session at
Malad. the lump Of imbecility called
an Indian agent, sent word that he
desired to come before the United
States grand jury in regard to very
important matter, and was allowed
to do so, when he informed that
august body that a couple of In.
dams committed . rape on a blind
squaw. OF course the grand jury
could no nothing but find an indict-
ment against the Indians, and they
were accordingly brought to court.
When the Indictment was read and
interpreted to them, one of them
insisted on pleading guilty. After
a thorough examination of the law
by Judge Morgan, he decided that
he had no Jurisdiction in the case,
that there was no law covering a
case where one Indian com mitted q
crime against another, and the cases
were dismissed.

iTurfnen.

Louisville, KY GA meeting Of
turfmen called by Mr.. Lewis Clark,
president Of the Louisville Jockey
club, to consider the question of
weights and other turf interests,
assembled in this city to-day. g.
w. Darden, l., Clark, r. W. Sim
mons and Colonel G. l.. Hunt re-
ported table embodying the slid
ing scales of Saratoga and the east
by computing the scale for Deem
Der, January. February, March and
April. The weights for two-year-
Olds in the race for stakes exclus-
lively for them, is los pounds from
January 1st to May 1st, ITO pounds
for the remainder of the year. In
the races or stakes exclusively for
3 year>olds. 10 pounds from Janu-
airy 1st to May 1st, and 11S pounds
thereafter. Five pounds allowance
is made for heat races exclusively
for 2 and 3-year>Olds. Among the
subjects of importance discussed
was the adoption of a rule making
reinstatement impossible after be~
ing ruled off the course. So repre-
sentative meeting of turfmen was
never before held in America. A
general and strong sentiment in
favor of stringent rules was
adopted that will make fraud on
the turf practically impossible. The
meeting will probably remain in
session several days.

The Eureka Hill.

The report in circulation that the
Eureka Hill Mining Co., of Tintic,
had discharged one hundred OF its
miners, is incorrect, only about half
that number having been dis
charged. This action was deemed
ia be prudent from the fact that the
market was already overssOcked
with the -cOmpany's ore and still
plenty on the dump awaiting ship
ment. The smelters Were getting
in more of the ore than they could
conveniently handle, and the mine
owners have therefore decided to
ship only two car loads per day, in
stead of four. The mine is paying
better than ever before, by reason
of which the business prospects of
the camp Of Eureka have taken a
spurt; new merchants, saloon men,
&c, have gone III and old ones have
stocked up their shelves in the be-
lief that their shattered fo. tunes
were about to be retrieved. The
summary discharge of fifty men,
however, has created CONSERVATION
among them. The Eureka Hill
yet employs about sixty men, that
NUMBER being considered quite suf-
ficient to extract all the ore the
company desire to ship at present.

Important Decision.

Des Moines, Ia, "A decision was
rendered by Judge Sheraz, of the United
States circuit court, against the stock
holders Of the L.mar Insurance Com
psny. The stockholders have been in liii-
cation since the great fire of 1871, and the
case was brought to compel the stock
holders Of the defunct company, who had
not paid up the stock in full. to reim-
burse the parties insured for the loss of
that time. The defense was that the
Lamar Company had transferred their
business 10 the Peoples Insurance Com
psny, thus exemptiDg them from further
liabilities. The loss amounted to $780,.
600. Of which the people had paid
$500, 900. and the court holds that
the original stockholders of the Lamsr
Company are liable to the full amount
neceG sary to reim purse the com plain ant.
This only effects the stockholders who
had not paid ap for stock in full. The
court also issaes decree for the Collection
of the claims. about 100000. and inter-
este and costs.
