Railway Passengers Getting Even.

Two decisions of interest to railway pas
sengers has Just been reached which the
reader is recommended to cut out and paste
in his hat. The reading of them will com.
fort him greatly when some over-zealous
conductor puts him off in a cornfield, as
occasionally happens to a travelling man.
The first is that of w. J. Connell, of Omaha,
against the Pennsylvania railroad company.
He came east on an unlimited ticket to
Washington, by the Baltimore & Ohio,
thence to New York overthe Pennsylvania.
Between the last two cities he was put of
because the two companies had, by this
time gotten into a war. and the Pennsylva-
MIA refused TO recognize the ticket issued by
the other line. 1t was proven at the trial
that the latter company had already re-
ceived its pro rata under the ticket which
they refused to honor. The case was tried
twice, and both times the verdict was for
Mr.. Council, 49, 900. The other case was
that of Frank Spicker, a salesman, who was
travelling upon an''eXcursion ticket" which
the company, after issuing, had advertised
and tried to call in. One conductor accepted
1t, the next rejected it, and put Spicker off
in a rain-storm in an open field. He got
5000, which ought to dry him considera-
bly,. We do not wish to impose on railway
companies, but We do think that, when a
passenger has bought a ticket issued by a
competent authority, the best way for the
railway to do is to carry him to his destina-
tim, whether it is disguised with itself for
selling the ticket so cheaply, or whether it
is in a tiff with the other road.-[Chicago

bauobed, but who by Ia not brought out.
Bufke, In an Interview, said that she was
deeply distressed, seemingly, nj the fact or
his going TO leave ON the noon train for the
north In search Of employment. lie seems
much distressed about The sad Altar and
says he would willingly have given his I'VE
that she might live, He thinks that un'
necessary talk which had been made over
an episode over u week ago, and the unjust
comments made IN the fact that they were
late getting home from Sherman are the
chief causes for her self destruction.
Alto d. m. the case OF the state against
Burke, on the charge of seduction, was
called. The courtroom was crowded 10
the utmost capacity with an excited
throng. The prisoner was seated III a cor
ner of the room, behind counsel ana three
officers heavily armed. lie was very
nervous and pale, n sat IN a crouchlns
attitude. Motion was made by the prs
oner's attorney for continuance and was
argued at some length, and at last
granted. Burke was then taken TO
a place of safety under a guard OF
four officers, others being posted at
various doors. He neryously watched
every entrance. After dinner he went up
stairs and was afterwards conveyed TO the
Sherman Jail. The examination is set Tor
next Wednesday. There is some talk oil
carrying the case to Mckinney.
Miss Moore after the inquest repaired
home and swallowed a large dose OF NOR
phine. A man in his shirt sleeves ran rap
idly down town, and two doctors were
soon in attendance on her. She recovered,
and has left town. The greatest secrecy
was observed In the Moore matter, and inc
facts were gathered from outsiders: IL
was thought Hughes had gone, but ne
was on the streets at a late hour.
Several men, for expressing doubts as to
the right OF Furnishing Burke, nave been
castisated. The streets all day have been
filled with men in knots excitedly discuss
ing the affair, and under the present ex-
element there is no knowing what the re-
suits will be-. Bayless has sworn to XII
Burke on sight, but has so far done moth
ing, as his time must be taken entirely by
his wife. 1t is hardly possible hat she
her reason, Never has there happened an
event in this vicinity which so completely
aroused the whole community.

To1 CHILDREN WI KEEP,

But ono OF the boys grew weary one day,
And, leaning his h ad on his mothers breast,
He said, II am tired and cannot play;
Let me sit awhile on your knee and rest
She cradleh him close in.her fond emit race.
She hushed him to sleep with her sweetest
And rapturous love still lighted his face
when his spirit had Joined the heavenly

Then the eldest girl, with her thoughtful eyes,

Stole softly away into Paradise
Ere 'the river" had reached her slender

While the fathes's eyes on the grave are bent,
I he mother looked up beyond he .kiesi o,,r

Our darlings were angels In earth's Disguise
The years flew by and the children began.
With longing to think Of the world outside:
And as each, In his turn became a man,
The. boys proudly went from the fathers

The girls we're women so gentle and fair,
That lover were speedy to Woe and win;
And with orange blossoms in braided hair,
The old home was left, the new homes TO

SO, one by one, the children have gone,
The boys were FIVE ana the girls were three;
And the big brown house Is gloomy and lone,
With but two old folks for It's company.

are needy creditors. 1.-THE commonwealth
who claims the state Is bound by law to
respect the board, is unable say if the gov
ernors action is based on the advice of his
counsellors or is result of his own iudg'
ment and also ascertain whether his action
is based in the form or substance Of the
claims. The boards hold that the governor
has no right to withhold his approval to
claims due apointees of the board and hints
that legal prosecution may be possible to
enforce these claims. The letter says the
authority and discretion Of the executive is
a proper and wholesome subject for every
citizen to discuss, and the allusion to it in
the letter must not be taken as discourte-
Gus. The letter adds the Sanborn's APP
pointment, as inspector, is not dependant
of Buffers sanction, and the board must
treat such officers as duly appointed and
qualified, and entitled to compensation.
Boston, June Accommodations were
sent by the state board of health to Govern
or Butler to-day, saying that after carefully
examining the governors various commu-
nications, they do not find any evidence OF
intentional disrespect to the governor
which would make it necessary to remove
Sanborn from his place as secretary OF the
board. An order was adopted declaring
the office of assistant superintendent of the
alms.house. which has hitherto been held
by Thomas j. Marsh, vacant.

The Engaged Girl.


Engaged young ladies are the prescribed
wall-fowers OF society. The vast majority
of them are pretty, or they would not be en-
gagged, but how many of them wear out
their beauty In the vain hope that engage
ment will mean marriage and that marriage
will mean happiness, Every girl who goes
to balls and parties, to the opera and race
meetings, to Saratoga or on one of the FASH
ionable steamers to Europe, can tell you
that should one OF these doomed ones at
tract the attention of ne of the other sex
sufficiently to provoke an inquiry as to her
name and station it is enough to kill all in
terest in her to nswer: That's Miss So
and.so. She's engaged !" As for the en-
gagged one, if she be a faithful sweetheart,
She is bound to consider herself as some
body labeled and ticketed and laid by for
future use. Knowing the irrational jeal-
ousy of man, she devotes all her thoughts
to appearing above the suspicion OF irritation
or even above the suspicion OF taking the
remotest interest in any male m being
other than he who has laid a first and sec
ond mortgage on her, and may be flourish
ing a f~ree-foot and a fellow to it, at the
very moment she is pining in the metapho-
rical but tangible weed OF widowhood. III
she be. on the other hand, what is termed
a 'liysly" girl and cannot understood why
a young lady who is engaged should make
a sort of social mummy of herself, n
mixes innocently, but joyously in the ordi-
nary pleasures of girls Of her age, she is
open 10 the bascst misconstruction OF her
own sex-and will surely incur it. There
is not a society girl who reads these lines
who cannot call to mind an instance in her
own circle Of acquaintance where the con-
duct of a fellow-female of her coterie--in-
nocent enough In itself-has not been stig-
matted by persons of her own age and sex
as Outrageous" simply because she had
the misfortune to be ''engaged."-lNew

Wind and Rain Storm.

At about 6 o'clock last evening a terrific
wind and rain storm swept down upon the
city with the suddenness of cyclone, fill
ing the streets with dense clouds of dusts,
blowing smaller objects hither and thlther,
telling trees, and in several instances NOV
ing houses several feet. The
strong gale unroofed the livery
stable of Cain e Rothstein, on Market
street, and dismantled a large number Of
the dangerous and obnoxious swinging
signs that mar the appearance of the city.
The wind was Immediately followed by an
unusually heavy rainfall accompanied by
lightning that flashed with intense
yividness. The rain descended
in sheets of water, flooding
the cutters and streets which overhowed,
and in many instances easements were in
undated. The water stood over six inches
in the press.room OF the HERALD, but not
reaching the elevated machinery no mate.
rial damage was done. The basement of
Kent's hotel was overlooked, and
the water was nearly two feet
deep in the market house. The rain
continued to descend in torrents for two
hours or more, when it slackened up,
tho ugh a steady rain is still falling as we go
to press. The storm had the general ap-
p~earance of tho wing of a cyclone.

A Good Suggestion.


Would 1t not be well for those Of our
citizens who have subscribed towards the
narrow gage road and who will now get
their notes back TO reinyest at once double
or triple the amount in the cotton factory,
while their investment will pay them a
large direct dividend aud indirectly will
help every foot OF property and every bust
ness in the city. The subscription 70 me
narrow q railroad was a donation
while the cotton factory will inure TO the
subscribers interest bearing stock. The
real estate boom which subsidized somewhat
as o as 1. was known that the narrow
gauge road had broken of negotiations,
INIT the boom will start with renewed yigor
as soon as the foundation Of the cotton
factory is laid. Bald factories, and rail.
rosJs. narrow and wide gauge, will be glad
TO come here without any donation rom
our citizens. Manufacturing towns com
mapd railroads. Commercial towns are
