Street Car improvements.

Much trouble is occasioned in this
and other cities by the street cars
getting off the track and in 80 out Of
every 100 cases this is caused by rocks
being thrown or lain upon the rails. A
citizen of San Antonio has an inven-
ton, which he is about patenting, that
can be applied to any street car for less
than 50 per car and which will auto
matically remove all such obstruc-
tons from the rails, thus reducing this
evil to a minimum.

THAT The debtor can proceed civilly
and criminally against the creditor in
the state courts. 1t is stated upon
good authority too, that suit will
shortly be entered for heavy damages
by citizen of San Antonio who re-
ceived such a letter, against local
firm sending it. This too does not
destroy his rights of prosecution in the
federal court. 1t seems pretty clear
that some business men who have
been using there circulars stand in a
very bad position especially if they
meet litigations debtor. Nor is this
all; many citizens declared their
intention on receipt of such commune
cation TO adopt the old-fashioned
method of dealing with those who in
suit them and go cunning" for the
creditor who sends it. All things
considered, the best thing the local
members can do is to burn their mem
bership certificate, sin no more, and
grin pleasantly over the way they
have been bitten by the sharp men of
the east.
