A Decision of Interest to Deadheads


People who ride on railway passes will be in
terested in the following decision of the Court
of Appeals of Connecticut holding that corpora
tions are liable for damages in case Of accident
to passenger who travels as a deadhead ut
is not necessary that a passengers fare should be
paid in money to constitute him passenger for
hire. If the company receives any benefit in
connection with his passage, the permission to
ride is rot gratuity in law. But free pass in
the strict sense of the words-a pure gratuity-
does not exempt from liability under the terms
OF the contract The same considerations of
public policy govern, whether the passenger be
one for hire gratuitous passenger, or a passen-
ger on pass exempting the company from liza
bility." The fact that there is stipulation on
4he beck of each railway pass that the company
shall not be liable in case of damage to a dead
head is held by the Connecticut court to be
meaningless so far as suits to recover are con-
cerned. President Ingalls, takes the correct view
Of this matter, which is that no pass is issued un-
less it DC in charity cases where the official who
gives the pass does not expect something ire
turn which will benefit the road.

A Smallpox Remedy"

A correspondent of LIE Canadian
recommends as an unfailing remedy
for smallpox the application, when
the first symptoms appear, of two
small Spanish fly blisters to the arm
of the patient between the elbow and
the shoulder. These, he contends,
will draw all the virus of the disease
to that part of the body, and it may
be let out by opening the vesicles from
time to time with pen knife or pair
of scissors. The blisters should be al
lowed to remain till they fall off and
no more pus runs from the wound,
when it will dry up on the application
of a little lard, and the patient will be
fully recovered in less than a week.
He claims that he has seen this rem
edy used in France and Brazil, and
always with success. At the same
time, he advises every one to get vac
cinated to reduce the chances of catch
ing the disease.

MAXWELL'S GUILT.
1t Seems to be Clearly Establish e d
beyond a Reasonable Doubt.

Maxwell, the alleged murderer of
9. A. Preller, at the Southern hotel in
st. Louis, since he was arrested at
Auckland and brought back on
requisition to be tried, has asserted
he could show PrelIer was not murder
ed at all, but was still living. Max
well has exhibited several letters to
establish this fact, but their genuine
ness is doubted. The identity of
Preller, as corpse, had to be estab~
lished, and it was supposed had been
established. That there might be no
mistake on this head, the body was
embalmed for future examination. A
few days ago it was exhumed and sub
mitted to further investigation. Here
is a statement of the result: "John
A. Frazier, an artist and photograph

the city for the purpose Of identifying
the body OF G. A. Preller. Mr.. Fra
zier became Intimately acquainted

A REPORT ON THE SUGAR EXPERIMENTS.

a REPOhI ON IdE SUGAR EAFERImENIS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Experi-
ments made by the commissioner of
agriculture in application of diffusion
and carbonition to sorghum cane, at
Ottawa, Kansas, have been concluded.
Prof. Wiley, who had charge of these
experiments, has made his prelimin-
airy report to the commissioner, from
which the following facts are taken.
Yield sugar from cane, was more than
ninety nine one hundreths, twelve
twenty>ffths of one hundred being
left in waste matters and exhausted.
The yield of crude sugar, that's it comes
from the vacinon pan. and went as
nigh IS $50 pounds per ton, or at -
pounds per gallon and % gallons per
ton.
This is double that of the ordinary
methods. The process of carboniza~
ton, that is adding large excess of
lime to the juice and then precipitat-
ing it with carbonic acid was COM
pletely successful. The product OBJ
tanned was lighter In color, and more
portable than the usual method of
DELEGATION and the saving in the
scums by this method is estimated to
be at least 10 per cent. The difficuls
ties encountered were entirely of a
mechanical nature and easily over
come.

Ancient History in Massachusetts.
Harpers' Magazine.

We passed Muttack Hill, where
once the famous mansion of Oliver,
the Tory judge, stood IN all it's glory
of Gothic arch and English timber,
with the rose>trees sent from Devon
shire to Madame Oliver coloring It's
porticoes. The divers were a famous
family at that time. The judge was
known to be a staunch and loyal
servant of the king, and he entertain
ed right royalty IN the old mansion
on Muttock Hill. There was a BAN
quoting hall said to be we'll worth the
name. An old family servant who
| lived far into this country used to tell
of its shining floor and oaken seats,
and the glitter of its waxen lights. The
chairs were of English oak, with
crowns carved upon them; the table,
a splendid piece of the same wood,
with feet like claws grasping a ball.
| So noted were Madame divers gath
erings that the leading ladies in the
land thought it no hardship to come
thirty miles 10 attend one. Innumer-
able are the stories told of the guests
at those rollicksome banquets. Of
one beauty from Boston it is said that
for two nights previous to ball at the
divers, she slept with her hands tied
above her head to whiten them. and
another colonial belle sat upright in
an armchair instead OF taking her
beauty>sleep, that her couture might
not be disturbe d, the hair-hresser
having been compelled to do his work
overnight. Thither, riding'on q pill
lion or in chariot, came frequently

favor SO many suffers sighed vainly,
and who dispensed her smiles

A Dog Which Hankered.
Detroit Free Pre- SIS.

Yesterday forenoon farmer whose
wagon needed some repairs stopped at
blacksmith's shop on Grand River
avenue. He had with him a dog ais
most as big as a yearling calf, and
when the wagon was run into the
shop TIE dog was tied TO a post near
the door. By and by quite a little
crowd gathered to comment on his
size and appearance, and along came
an understood common looking cur.
and sat down about ten feet away.
1t was then the big dog swelled up
and sent forth thunderous growls and
bowls. He scratched the earth. He
demanded blood. He tugged at his
chain with the strength of an OK.
Don't anyone let that ere dog
loose" cautioned the farmer as he
came from the back end of the shop.
"Sposen we did," queried one of
the boys.
Then he'd lessen the number of
dogs in this town by fifty"
The farmer went away, and the big
dog continued to tug and strain to get
at the little dog. The latter didn't
scare worth a cent He sat there as
if he meant to stay to dinner. Every
body was wishing that the big dog
would get loose, when along came
man who stopped and asked:
Whats the troubled"
THAT big dog wants TO get free"
"Oh, he does. Well, I'll help him
to-"
He walked up to the post and cut
therope and the next instant big dog
and little dog were so mixed up that
one could hardly separate them. But
this lasted only minute All at once
the big dog hung to his hind leg for
at least hundred feet. The farmer
came out to see his Jumbo logging 1t
for the country, while the little dog
sat on the curbstone watching his
flight, and he turned to the yelling
crowd and exclaimed:
What are you fools laffan at!
Didn't I tell ye my dog wouldn't be
mean enough to fight anything less'n
a panther?"

judiciously, and made the honor of a
a dance almost like royal gift. Miss
Dolly was a wit as well as beauty,
and lad been at the English court
six months, so that her ''ton" was
perfect. She wore the newest fash
ions of 100, and though she might
have been far prettier but for paint
and powder, the sparkle of her eyes
and the light of her smile were said
to be so enhancing that two English
officers fought duel over the ques>
ton as to which one had received the
softest glance of the evening.
At Oliver House charming Mistress
Nash was always led out by the host,
and as the floor of the ballroom was
noted for its waxen polish (hree
maids having charge of i). we can
fancy that the old judge, trife equity
and not very keen in his vision, had
TO be careful how he stepped, for to
blunder, with Miss Dolly's dainty
hand In his would have been unpar~
donable indeed. We can fancy the
scene very readily: the hoops and
towering coiffures of the fine danes
of Massachusetts,, the wigs and satin
rutfles of the sterner sex. the wax
lights. the darkly shining floor, aud
the figure of the judge leading forth
lovely, imperious Dolly, while every
eye turned upon them; even the mu>
sicians, who scraped away at the up
per end of the room, were not insen-
sible to so much feminine charm, and
down upon the scene comes the shout
of horseman who had ridden
from Boston, and was galloping up
Muttock Hill, swinging his hat and
shouting loudly, Long life to the
heir of Great Britainr' for that day a
ship had brought the news of the
birth of George the Fourth.
AS we went down the hill we seem
ed TO have vision of that glorious
period, and then to see the lights of
Oliver House go out, the fair faces
and splendid figures vanish, the
laughter, the signs, the love making,
and the witticisms Of that gallant day
die away forever.
When the Revolution broke out,
Judge Oliver did not hesitate to avow
his Tory principles, which SO enraged
the people of marlborough that they
determined to set fire to his stately
dwelling. Some one-whom it is not
known-conveyed the news secretly
to the judge, who was in Boston, and
he rode out under cover Of the night,
and entered his own horne like a
thief, stole into the great banquet
hall and the library, and carried away
with him whatever of papers and
money and jewels he coula secrete
about his person. He was only just
In time. Early next morning mob
came up the hill, headed by patri-
otto young carpenter, and the fine
mansion was ransacked and burned to
the ground, the judge and his imme-
date family escaping to England.
While there it was said that although
he frequently entertained American
guests, he never referred in any way
to his life among the colonists. -.

Goals Occupation Gone.
From the Pittsburgh Pa.) Gazette

It is singulary fortunate that Pitts~
burgh, which attained its pre-emi.
nenee as a manufacturing city by
reason of its abundant deposits of GOA
should now be enabled not only to
maintain its industrial advantages,
sut greatly to enhance them by the
use of natural gas. There is a revolu
ton now in progress which will work
wonders here in few years, unless the
supply of gas should suddenly stop,
which is not probable. Indeed, it may
be set down as certain that, for many
processes of manufacture, coal will nc
longer be used. If natures supply OF
gas ceases, artificial gas will take its
place.

ABOUT BABIES.
Philadelphia North American.

Modified Mother Hubbards continue
to be the most popular form Of baby
dress.
1t is said that the only way to break
a baby of sucking it's thumb is to give
it doll.
At the sick diet kitchens lots of suit
able baby food is distributed to poor
families in the city.
Among rich Philadelphians, baby
christening robes are made entirely OF
lace.
New Jersey is famous for it's. twins.
There is hardly a New Jersey town
that is without several pairs.
The crop of colored babies in the
south continues to be almost large
as it was III the years before the civil
war.
One of the most pleasing play
things baby can have is string Of
empty spools. It beats rattle all to
pieces.
There never was time when baby IS
wardrobe was so luxuriant. The outfit
for fashionable baby now costs from
$50 to $500.
Babaies long clothes are now done
away with, and they are allowed to
kick their little legs around unincum-
bered.
Music dealers say they sell more
baby songs such as "Peek>a~Boo,
than they do of the most classical com
positions.
The toy counters in the big stores
are beginning to pile up with lots of
things from the wonderlands abroad,
which will delight the babies about
Christmas.
Owing to the number of agencies
for getting the little ones out of the
city the infantile mortality in Phiia-
delphi& during the past summer was
unusually small.
This is the time when the greatest
care has to be taken to protect baby
from change of weather, and already
doctors are busy with cases of whoop>
ing cough and good deal of dipther
la.
RittenhopSe square continues to be
favorite airing place for fashionable
babies, and a troop of nurses, with
their cavlacade of preambulators
may be seen there every fine after
noon.
