assed making the struction of trunks,
Oxes, valises or packages by the railway
sggage fends misdemeanor, with q pen
lty of $50 for each ofense. As the Law
lakes the railway, which employs the bag
age smasher, responsible for his havoc,
,avelers may rest In peace while their Sar-
togas and hat-boxes are In transit. There
ill be no more hurting of trunks from the
srs to the platform as if they were a new
ind of projectile, and a gaping trunk
,vealing all the fair owners new dresses

dispatch says if the New York Legislature
i'll only pass a law protecting the public
ON having popcorn packages and flash
terature hurled in its lap while il is sit
ng inoffensively in the cars, that state will
ecome the elysium of travellers.
