The railroad companies have for some time
past complained of the shabby treatment they
bhave received in the matter of police protection.
IN fact they have had to protect their own prop
perty from all kinds of depredations and even
<have to protect their trains, when passing
through the city, to prevent boys jumping on
And off of them, when moving; and at last the
Police Commissioners, at the suggestion of
Frank Morrison, have taken the matter in hand,
and the railroad companies property will here
THE heavy tax which the roads pay certainly
entitle them to the best efforts the part of the
city to protect their property.

$25, 900 damages for injuries received by her at
&Saltillo station on the road, came up for trial
at New Albany in the Circuit Court on Wednes-
day last and a change of venue was granted to
Washington county. Mrs Woods charges in
cher complaint that she was a passenger On the
Moad for Saltillo, that when the train arrived at
&hat place she was not given time to get off, but
nwas showed off the car by the conductor. When
her feet struck the platform her shoes were torn
off by the shock, her spine injured, and she also
received internal injuries. The result of these
dniuries has been to cause her feet to turn up
ward upon her ankles, and to produce a paray
sis or palsy that renders her totally helpless
and causes her constant and terrible suffering.
