Benjamin f. Young was the plaintiff before
Judge Ludlow, at Pittsburg, Pa, last week. in a
suit against the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany which involved several intricate points Of
railroad law. The plaintiff purchased a ticket
from Akron, o., to Philadelphia from an agent
of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio rail
road in the former place. He informed the
agent that he wanted to stop over on the ticket.

Good for six days" The ticket was by way Of
Elmira, SanhurF and Harrisburg. At Sunbury
Mr.. Young stepped off, out when he resumed his
Journey the conductor refused to accept the
ticket, disregardng the story of the Akron
agents declaration, ana insisting that the ticket
was limited one, only good for continuous
ride.
Mr.. Young refused to pay the extra fare de-
manded and was elected at place called George

next train and continued his journey without
any further objection to his ticket Counsel for

Central road there could be no action against
the Pennsylvania railroad. He accordin gly
asked the court to give the jury binding in
sstruction TO find verdict in favor Of the defend
dant. This Judge Ludlow did, ON several
grounds. First because there authority
in the Akron agent TO sell anything but limited
ticket; secondly, because there was no evidence
that the ticket was refused on road belonging
90 the defendant company; and. lastly, because
the conductor, with nothing before him but the
face of the ticket was justified in refusing to

Sparks from the Locomotives.

America beats the world on locomotives.
The weight of fullsized locomotive of the
present day. with two pairs of trucks and two
pairs of driving wheels. is 40 to IS tons, and the
size of the cylinder is 1924 inches.
tits estimated that the new locomotive No.
b20, the finest ever made by the New York Cen
trail, will draw the Chicago EXPRESS at the rate
of a mile minute. and by reason of its i'm
proved fire box and smoke consumer will save
one ton of coal for each $50 miles.
There are says the American Maehinist, 90
227 locomotives of all kinds belonging to the
railroads of North America. according to the
most reliable official figures Reckoning the life
of a locomotive at twenty five years. it ought to
require the construction of / l69 locomotives
annually to maintain the stock OF engines
The Baldwin locomotive works, of Philadel-
phia, have Just completed locomotive which
they call the 'Decapod' type, for the Dom Pedro
Ii. railway, of Brazil, which is next to the largest
locomotive ever built The engine is for road
feet inch gauge, which gives good opportu-
nifty of making heavy locomotive with fine pro-
portions. The engine has cylinders 22x26 inches
which transmit the power to five pairs of driving
wheels, connected. of 40 inches diameter
The life of a locomotive varies from half an
hour to a third of century, but the average is
probably fourteen or fifteen years The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy received a locomotive the
other day from Manchester, N. H., which tried
TO pass another engine on the same track and
was broken into flinders half an hour afterit had
been set up. On the other hand some New Eng
land roads have engines twenty-five or thirty
years old in use for light work. The Western
roads do not repair as much, but are more in
Filmed to let their engines wear out
The principal locomotive works in the United
States arc as follows Two in Taunton, Mass. :
one in Boston; one in Providence; one in Port
land; one in Manchester, n H. one IN Philadel-
phia; three in Paterson Y. j.. one in Pittsburg,
and one in Schenectady. The works in Phila
delphia are the largest in the world. and are ca
pable of producing from one and half to two
locomotives per day. In addition to the works
above named many of the railroads have shops

BETTY LEEDS.

The rounded moon was shining bright
CTS so the story goes)
Upon chilly, winter night,
When all the fields and lanes were white
With many-drifted SHOWS.
The winter winds were piping shrin
CTis so the story readsl
When honest Simon Pettingil
His cutter drove across the hill
To visit Betty Leeds.
Now Simon was likely lad
fTis so the story goesD
And could the choice of girls have had,
But Betty Leeds was proud and glad
To be the one he chose.
She somehow knew, that winter eve,
CTS so the story goes
A call from Simon she'd receive,
Nor would her trusting heart believe
He'd stay for drifting SHOWS.
And so she donned her ribbons bright,
fIfs SO the story reads
Piled on the logs and trimmed the light,
And waited through the winter night
This trusting Betty Leeds.
All night she waited, but in vain,
CTS so the story goes
And ne'er saw she his face again,
For white and frozen, in the lane,
1t lay beneath the SHOWS.
"A smile of rare and perfect grace
CTS so the story reads
Lay ike q blessing on his face,
As some sweet thought had left its trace
A thought of Betty Leeds.
A woman, old, with hair grown white,
cts so the story goes
Still piles the logs and trims the light
And waits for some one in the night,
Who sleeps beneath the SHOWS.

''Ar. Brown, can you explain how you

'Certainly, your honor. 1 have brought

difference between Trescot.'s name and the
rest of the writing. M'Kissen's name and
all the rest OF the writing is written IN tbs

"But A'Kissen has sworn" l said, THAT
he wrote his name with the same ink Tres
colt did"
That's not 50. You can $50 for your
self"
But where was M'Kisssn when Prescott
wrote his name?"

cal examination by judge, jury and coun-

Judge said:
"One moment. Mr.. Spencer. Sheriff, see

But ''those men" had quietly slipped out
