PROTECTION OF TRAVELLERS.
A Railway Sleeping Car Company is Respon-
sible for the Property of Its Guests.

TAUNTON, Mass, Sept PA case involving
the important question of the liability of sleep
ing-car companies for losses sustained by their
patrons while in transit was tried by the Supreme
Court here yesterday. In October, 1884, William
Lewes and William S. Wing two prominent
business men of New Bedford started for San
Francisco from Albany station, in Boston, in the
sleeper Pontiac, owned and run by the New York
Central Sleeping-car Company. Lewes had bills
to the amount of 5000 in the inside pocket OF his
vest. Wing had in of the pockets of his
vest $3.50 On retiring eacI placed his vest under
the pillow of his berth. At about 6 o'clock in
the morning Lewes discovered that the bottom
of his vest had been cut open and the money
sewed in his pocket taken. He notified the porter
of the robbery. Wing on examining his pocket
discovered that his $3.50 was gone. They COM
planned to the porter, but got no satisfaction.
The counsel for the company claims that,
granting the robbery bad taken place as alleged,
the company was not liable as it had exercised
the usual caution by providing lighted car and
porter to watch the inmates. The court held
that the car company bore the same relations to
the public as common carriers and inn-keepers-
that is, should he fully responsible for any and
all losses sustained by passengers while in the
cars, and the jury returned verdict for the
amount lost, with interest, in each case. Ex-
ceptions were taken. and the case will no doubt
60 up to the full bench.

PLEURO- PNEUMONIA.
The Infected Cattle viii Be Quarantined, and
Spread of the Disease Is Not Feared

CHICAGO, Sept % Chairman Pearson, of the
Illinois Livestock Commission, and Mr.. Nc
Chesney, also a member of the commission, held
a consultation, to-day, with number Of veter-
inarians in this city. Among the experts present
were DR.. Case the well-knowp veterinarian for
Illinois, and his assistants Drs. Hughes and
Murphy, of Chicago; from abroad were DR..
Salmon, of the United States board, DR.. Alex
ander Murray, of Detroit, formerly of the Mich
igan livestock board and DR.. Atkinson, of Mil
waukee, veterinarian for Wisconsin. The
commission proceeded to the Phe-
nix dstillery Sheds followed by
the veterinarians, where post,mortem
examinations were made, and Dr. Salmon and
the State experts unanimously agreed that the
disease was contagious pleuro- pneumonia.
Everything will be inclosed in quarantine, and
every precautiou taken TO guard cattle passing
through this city from the possibility of expos
ure. The infected locality is in the extreme
northwestern portion of the city. from six to ten
miles from the stockyards, which are outside the
southern limit of the city. and communication
between the two through the city's streets and
blocks is not convenient and can never be acc-
cooperating il the matter and there seems no
more occasion for interruption of cattle move
ments through the ordinary channels Of trade
here than II the outbreak had occurred in some
remote county Of the State.

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
Three Deliberate Murders on Pine Key
Island, Near Key West. Fla.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Sept. pa few months
ago j. G.. Cooper entered homestead near the
charcoal camps on Pine Key Island, near Key
West. For unknown reasons Coopers relations
with the charcoal burners became unfriendly
and triple tragedy is the sequence, Sunday
a burner named Donaldson asked Cooper to
return a pocket-knife which he had borrowed a
few days previously. Cooper threw it on the
foor saying: "There it is" Donaldson picked
it up and walked about twenty feet from the
camp when without any warning, Cooper shot
him in the back, and when he fell ran up to him.
saying: "You amt dead yet. will finish you. "
Donaldson begged for his life, and Cooper left,
saying: Lie there, and suffer, and die"
Cooper then reloaded his double -barreled gun
with buckshot, and went to the camp of Balm
and Hunter. Balm was cooking in front of his
tent. when without any warning, he was shot in
the bowels Balm cried OUT why did you
shoot met Did ever harm youp Cooper an
swered: '.No; only shot you to please my
and went to the door of the tent where Hunter
was. Hunter who was inside. attempted to run,
but was shot through the heart and instantly
killed.
A man named Corey. who was out in boat,
heard the shots and came ashore, when Cooper
ran him into the woods He went down to the
camp or some other men and came back with
them, and brought the dead and wounded men
to Key West. Cooper left in a small boat A
reward Of $500 is offered for the capture of the
murderer. There is considerable division
among the people Of the island as to whether
Coopers provocation lay in systematic attempts
to make his life uubearaDle on the homestead,
and he killed his prosecutors in fit of despera-
ton, or whether the crime was entirely unpro-
Voked

The American Dried Apple Finds q Ready
and Profitable Market in Germany.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept. PA market has at last
been found for our dried apples. They 60 to
Germany, where American pork is in bad repute
and American interests are a drag. 1t comes
here from our consul at Mayence that 'ff you
want dried apples the American fruit is first of
fered you, while a long string of adjectives are
thrown off at you In praise of it." The consul
then continues, In his last report to the State
Department.:
These apples are to be met with almost every
where, and are preferred to all others on account
OF their excellence. For about three years past
maybe four-American dried apples have been
in the German market. and have met with great
success, forcing the native product almost en-
tlr9ly out of its native domain. And it is really
a remarkable accomplishment that the Ameri-
cans have been able to place upon the market a
dried fruit which almost vies in freshness and
flavor with fresh fruit, and yet can be kept for
long periods where that perishes. The Germans
are doing their best, understand. to initiate and
counterf cit the fruit-drying machines which our
people have put upon the market, and it be-
hooves the American mapufacturers to see to it
that the fair field which is open to them here is
not lost beyond recovery

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
There Will Be No Work the Mississippi
Because of a Blunder.

Because of Blunder.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Acting Attorney
General jerks has decided that the salaries and
expenses of the Mississippi River Commission
cannot be paid out of the So. 600, 900 appropriated
by Congress at its last session for the improve
ment of the Mississippi river. There usually
accompanies the annual appropriation for the
Mississippi an item providing for the salaries
and expenses Of the Commission, but that item
was left out this year. The Commission
wants to meet and commence work be-
fore the season is over, and upon their
application to Secretary Endicott for
authority to do so. the Question of paying their
salaries and expenses arose. Secretary Endicott
asked the Department of Justice whether these
could be betrayed out of the s. 600 900 appropri-
ated for the improvement of the river. Judge
jerks, in his opinion, holds that the expenses of
the Commission cannot be so paid. and that the
81, ,000, 600 appropriation must remain inactive
until the required provision is made by Con-
gress. unless the members of the Commission are
willing TO serve without receiving any salaries,
and at the same time pay their own bills. Il is
