$4,000 Damages.

Last Friday Mrs. Adah H. Rob
inson, in her case against the seven
members of the Board of Street
Commissioners of Watertown, before
the Jefferson county circuit court
was awarded by the jury damages
to the amount of $4,000 for injuries
claimed to have been sustained by her,
by derrick falling upon her while she
was passing over Main street bridge,
October 20, 1881 Harlow Pease prose
cuted the case for Mrs. Robinson, and
G.. III. Gardner and Geo. w. Bird APP
peared for the defendants.
At previous trial Mrs. Robinson re-
ceived a verdict for $1,000 damages.
This case was appealed, and the SUI
preme court set aside the verdict on
the ground of want of proper service.
The suit was then commenced over
again, upon the question of the person
al liability of the members of the
Board, with the result as above stated.
Whether an appeal will be taken upon
the ground of excessive damages has
not yet been determined.
The following were the members OF
the Board ofStreet commissioners when
the accident occurred: w. I'll. Rohr, 1st
ward; G. Zautner, End ward; L. Baxter,
Sd ward; c. Becker, 4th ward; F. Hart
wig, 9Th ward; w. F. Voss, 9Th ward

1.-THE World Against Her."

Steve Leach, the business manager
of Kate Claxton's "The World Against
Her." which will be produced here
next Monday, is in town. Mr.. Leach
sage the company is one of unusual
merit, and has been playingin Chicago
for the last two weeks, from whence
they come here direct. It will, without
doubt, be one of the best performances
that the people of Watertown have
seen for many day. The following is
from The Chicago Herald:
''The World Against Her" was the
attraction that packed Jacobs Acade-
my last night. The play is an English
melodrama, with plenty of startling eli
makes, and just enough comedy to
make most Interesting evenings en-
tertainment. Agnes Villa and Robert
Neil were cast for the principal roles,
and their rendition of the characters
assumed was most praiseworthy and
creditable. The great scene in "The
World Against Her" is in the last act,
when the husband and the villain come
together at last and have a square,
stand-up fight from the shoulder. This
encounter, admirably done, created
the widest excitement.

in character. Moreover, such effects were
usually quite evanescent; and, in so far as
permanent changes in the tissues were con-
cerned, the evidence was absolutely negative.
Hence the preposterous claims of "faithn and
''mind" healers were nothing more than
cheap perversion Of facts which had been
known to the profession for centuries. The
uses to which these healers frequently put the
credulity Of their votaries was Of q highly
pernicious character The appeal to motives
Of superstition caused such disturbances Of
the imagination that persons were frequently
rendered insane, while the neglect Of the
most ordinary rules of hygiene, coupled with
entire lack Of proper medication, had already
cost many lives DR.. Corning did not believe
that legislative interference would be re-
quired in dealing with the evil All the pub
lie required was thorough and authoritative
enlightenment at the hands Of competent
members Of the profession. The church
could render important service by condemn
ing the vagaries and perversions Of doctrine
which were calculated to do harm to the
cause Of true religion among the educated
classes. As for the press, it had already, and
would undoubtedly continue to render inn
portant service in abating the evil. The
mode Of attack would not assume the form Of
persecution, but would consist In showing
that mental influences had been employed by
competent physicians in the treatment Of
functional nervous diseases from a remote
period. This manner Of treating diseases is,
however, merely palliative, and no exclusive
reliance can be placed upon it; to be effective
it must always be employed in conjunction
with dietetic, medicinal and other potent in
duences As for the claim that cancer and
other organic diseases could be cured by men
tai influences, the idea was founded on ignor-
ance propagated by mendacity.

Mr.. Greeley epitomized the principles upon
which he had tried to conduct The Tribune
