AGAINST n Railway.

In the federal court yesterday, the ease
of Summers against the Wabash railway
company came to u close. In this case
the plaintiff claimed $4,000 damages for
injuries and for the loss OF a pair of
mules. 1t seems that in driving over the
railway crossing the fast flying cannon
ball" train came skipping along, and not
only killed the mules but threw him
from the wagon and, rs he claims, Sc
riously injured him. He claimed
that the company's employees ne
elected to sound the whistle,
approaching train, while the company
claimed that such signals were given, and
that there was contributory negligence on
the part of the plaintiff. The case has
been hotly contested, but the jury rem
dered verdict in favor of the plaintiff,
placing the damages mt $500 One OF
the remarkable features of the case is
that it is the only case decided against Il
railway company at this term of the
court, although there have been numer-
Gus trials of railway cases.

MISSOURI VALLEY, Oct. 1.-THE fall

republicans starting out with Il grand
rally, and the Hon. ID. B. Henderson be-
ing the principal orator. Everything so
far, since the nominations, has been quiet
and dull, but of course both parties here,
as they were in Ohio, are confident of
success, but this beng II republican

ber of improvements here during the

opens up in good shape as the season ad-
vances. This being railroad town, the
