Broker Palmer,a Case.

BOSTON, July 7.-In the case of J. Benja- min Palmer, O broker, who is charged with having emLezzled shares of New York and New England, Western Union and West End land stocks belonging to Thomas w. Flynn, Judge Parmenter decided that there was no embezziement of the New York and New England and the Western Union stocks, but he Was in doubt whether Mr. Palmer had a right to dispose of the 100 shares of West End stock, as it was question whether it was placed in his hands as collateral or with authority to convert 1t into money to make the margins good.

THE OPERATOR BLUNDERED'

Two Passenger Trains Collide on the Pennsylvania, and Fifteen Persons Are More Less Badly Injured.
 WILKEsBARRE, Pa., July 1.-Two passen- ger trains on the Pennsylvania railroad col lided yesterday between this city and Nanti- coke. They were Pottsville trains, going in opposite directions. Both engines were com- pletely wrecked, and the smoker and two coaches attached to each were more or less smashed. There were over POO passengers on the trains, and the escape from fatal results IS miraculous.
 The following is the list of casualties:
 CONDUCTOR MEYER, slightly hurt
 CONDUCTOR GRIswoLD, slightly hurt
 ENGINEERS DIETRICH and ULMER and two tiremen, bruised by jumping from their engines
 k. 5. NEW, a commercial salesman, of Troy, several ribs broken and badly bruised about the body; now at the Luzerne hospital in this city.
 STEPHEN O. UR1E, travelling salesman for Proctor & Gambell, of Cincinnati. in- jured on arm and shoulder.
 JAMES FA1RCHILD, of Scranton, injured in back and head bruised slight.
 JAMES WILLIAMS of Nanticoke, 70 years of age. badly bruised.
 s. RAEFFEL, a Nanticoke tailor, arm broken.
 LON COLEMAN, of Wilkesbarre, mail agent, bruises on head and body.
 MRS. DAVID THoMAs, of Nanticoke slightly injured
 MRS. JOHN THOMAS, of Nanticoke, pain fully bruised.
 FRANK DEMBRACK, arm broken.
 The cause of the disaster was blunder on the part of Operator Beidleman, of this city, who should have held the up train at Nauti- coke, but omitted to do so. A moment after ward he thought of his neglect, and asked Wilkesbarre if the down train had passed that point Word came that it had gone by. He then asked Nanticoke if the up train had passed there and the same reply was given. Knowing that collision was unavoidable he took to the woods, and has not been seen

verdict of she Coroner'S Jury-Classihca-
 ton of Naptha Launches.
 NKwBURa, N. F., July 7-The coroner's jury in the cases of Mrs. R. B. Odell, Jr., and Miss Anna L. Miller, who lost their lives when the yacht Enid was run down by the steamer James W. Baldwin last week, found a verdict that Mrs. Odells death was caused by blows inflicted by the paddle wheel of the steamer, and Miss Miller came to her death by drowning, both deaths being the result of the collision.
 The jury say they believe the collision could have been averted had the persons in charge of the Enid exercised proper judg ment and taken proper precautions from the time they first saw the steamer.
 The Enid was what is known as 0 naptha launch, and did not use steam.
 The jury in their verdict also say:
 I've are of the opinion that the proper authorities should classify naptha, electric and other motor power boats the same as steam boats thereby avoiding the claim of naptha and other craft that they arc not subject to steamboat laws, so that parties in charge of these boats can be held responsible tor their acts"

MILK for City Customers.

Women especially seem to wish to DC de- ceived, for they are always offering induce ments for deception by demanding conditions and assuming favors which cannot be granted. Many tradesmen take advantage of their eagerness to obtain special bargains on goods by promising everything demanded. I sup pose there is as much deception practiced in selling milk as in any other nns, for our woman customers, who dedi through their servants, insist on certain conditions which If the milkman cannot fulfill, he will often promise to do in order not to lose the trade. l have in mind one particular case where more women are laboring under a delusion than in any other way. 1t is a belief which many doctors foster, that the baby raised on the bottle must have the milk of one COW, and only one, as it would otherwise die As soon as a contingency arises to feed the baby one cow's milk, the milkman Is ordered to bring special bottle of milk every morning from the same COW. If the milkman promises, as he generally does, the mother goes on for a year or more feeding the baby on milk which sine believes comes from the same COW.
 It may be just as we'll that mothers are happy in their ignorance, for a good many of them would not insist on the one COW milk .s they only reflected upon the difficulties in the way of supply. In the first place, one COW ooes not give ulik Ss iouS as lne paoy could use it. Again, most of the milk deliv- cred here comes from farmers outside the city, who ship 1t in big cans containing the product of all their milking. Some of the milk dealers explain this, and lose 0 GUS toner by it. Some small dealers really re serve one cows milk for certain customers but generally the promise can not be kept. have seen milkmen filling babies bottles out of big can. The willy farmer works the baby milk racket just as he does tho butter scheme. He comes in from his farm ap parently with only one bottle of milk, ano charges an exhorbitant price for 1t, but he i: to be no more trusted than tho dairyman The best way to get one cows milk is tt Nkeep the COW yourself Milkman in Globe Democrat

 Exhibition of Skill.
 But now, the cadets just freed from the second rooms are pouring out of the academic building, and on all sides may be heard the commands of the section marchers
 "Sexshone haiti Left facel 'Rauks huahl"
 Hardly have the members of the sections entered the barracks when other cadets ap pear, looking taller and straighter than ever in their skirtless riding jackets These, amid much clankink of sabers and jingling of spurs, march to the riding hall where the galleries are already filled with fair apprecia- tive spectators whose hearts are ready and willing tc thrill at the daring acts of horse mnnship about to be attempted A hand some captain of cavalry is in command, su- perbly mounted on a coal black charger, and he put the young troopers through series of gymnastics on horseback Then all are sent dying around the hall at a mad gallop, slashing at leather bags, thursting at iron rings. leaping their horses over hurdles, and raising great clouds of tan bark as they slash the ground
 In going around the corner one horse has fallen, pinning his riders leg to the ground. A chorus of "Oh's" and pretty exclamations of consternation from the galleries follow. But in moment the horse is on his feet again, and the rider, having escaped with only a few bruises, soon catches him, and mounting. joins his comrades.
 Another cadet has dropped his saber-acci- dentany, of course-and starting his horse at gallop from the other end of the hall, he throws himself far over It's side, and with a low swoop at the proper instant picks up the saber and regains his seat amid the applause of the gallery.
 Now, saddles and blankets are removed and taken from the hall, and the cadets are exercised with horses bareback. Now, they are sitting faced to the rear, and now side ways, but quickly resume tho ordinary posi- Hon at tho command Finally the grand continuation Is reached when the command Eat will" is given, and an exhibition ensues that would mako glad tho heart of the pro prastor of tho greatest show on earth. Cadets standing on prancing steeds; cadet. leaping on and of galloping horses; cadets leaning far over the sides of their saddleless steeds and picking up handfuls of loose tar bark; cadets wrestling with each other as their horses tear around the ring. On ons side of the hall a cadet Is running around tho circle hanging to the mane of a comrade'i horse Suddenly he leaps and lands snugly behind the horsemnn, who dismounts il front and repeats the maneuver, and SO they go until the captains voice commands order again, and the active fellows arc marched of, their faces glowing with the healthfu sxercise.-Lieut.
