LONDON, Dec. 12.--The fiut batch of
strikers left tho gas works at 2 p. IN. A
crowd which had gathered oheered them
as they marched out. Plenty OF non
union men are availsblo for the COM
panies and there Is no interruption to
work. Tho nail makers in the Midland
counties have conceded an advance OF 10
per cent in wages to their employees.
This action will avert the strike threat
ened by the men.

MEDIA, Dac. l7.--The MARYLAND Paving
Company to-day obtained II verdict against
tbs city 81 Chester, for tho full amount OF
lis claims, for paving certain streets In the
city during 1883. which amounted, with In
forest, to 1921 ,2G5.l0. There WAS no defencs
by the city and the Judgment was entered
with the understanding that there shall BIO
stay of execution FOR at least nine months.
The difficulty arose by the law or ordinance
relating to the paving of the streets being
declared unconstitutional.

In delivering the charge Of the court
to :he jury III the WRllscs case, Friday
afternoon, Chief Justice Oomegys ex.
planned and illustrated with great clear
moss the sccpe OF legal responsibility
resting with common carriers. Upon
railway, from the time the passenger
boards the train until he reached the sta.
sion for which lie is destined, the law re-
gsrds hip es under the care Of that rail
road company. 1t ia the duty OF the
company to provide him with aate means
Of getting upon the train, to make due
provision FOR Lis safety and comfort
while on bis journey, and to furnish safe
means of egress from the train on arriv-
ing at his destination; scch means OF
egress az shall enable q stranger to reach
public tbororghfere, by tts exercise
OF reasonable cara, without encouptering
or exposing himself TO danger. The
greater the difficulty Of doing this, the
more incumbent upon the railroad com
pany to surround the departing passenger
with extra safeguards. The care to be
exercised and tue means to be used by
the carrier in securing the safety and
comfort Of passengers must be proper
toned to the risk incurred. Ia further
illustration, the court defined the legal
obligation of railroad companies TO make
use OF improvements whose worth bad
been tested. Tho failure 10 do SO would
be held by the Law na negligence, Thus,
il an accident occurred on train nnpro-
yided with sir brakes, and that accident
could have been prevented by air brakes,
The law would hold tie com
paay respcnaiblo for negligence. This
principle is obviously applicable, though
the court did not say SO specifically, to
the obligation OF railroad companies to
discard dangerous methods OF lighting
and heating cars in favor Of safer
methods as soon as their safety aud prec-
tiashilty have been demonstrated. The

Wont Say q Word About It.

Two newspaper men took enc of
their rare vacations last week In the
form OF duck hunt, starting on
Thursday night for Jackson's lake,
eighteen miles below the city. The
lake is still there and 30 are the ducks,
and so, also, is one of the newspaper
men. The other is on the street to-
day, looking badly tagged and woe
begone, in the memory Of wretched
"reminiscences. What hurts him worse
than all Is that the wife of his heart
should have taken him for a tramp
and walked the neighborhood up with
her screams at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing when he knocked at his own door
for admission. He don't mind the
long night walk up the Brazos, or be.

at by the excited negroes In the cab

tramp business knocks him silly.
The two young men had q hard time
Of it. The genius of misfortune and
the hobgoblins which always lurk in
the dank tanks and tarns of the great
river forests, marked them for prey
the minute their feet touched the fast

ducks were wild, the fish wouldn't

sell but potatoes, and tho twain lived
three days on baked potatoes alone,
and spending their time wading
through swamps and Dogs and brakes
hunting for their horse and filling the
air with opinions that will never see
the light as press opinions. On Sum-
day night both started homo on foot
and halfway the one turned back to
again hunt his horse, and the other
