his journey was put Off the train. He sued
and got verdict of $1,000. Defendant
company moved for new trial on the
ground that the damages were excessive.
Judge Ewing of Pittsburgh, before whom
the motion was made, conceded that the
award was excessive, and suggested an
agreement between the parties to accept a
verdict of $500. At the same time he filed
an opinion. which is to the effect that the
purchaser of a railroad ticket, even with
out stop-over privileges stipulated, has the
right to travel over the distance his tick ct

Court met fol an hour or two on Mon
day of this week, but there was little bus
mess of public importance to occupy its
attention. Among the transactions was
the appointment OF Jas. II. Clark as Bur
CESS of the Borough, it being found that

election, was ineligible TO the position on
account of his memborship of the Board of

The auditors of Tionesta township
publish, this week, their report of the
financial condition of the township. This,
we should think, is much more admira-
bic way of giving the taxpayers an oppor-
tunity of seeing what has been done with
their money during the past year, than the
old-fashioned plan of mailing a flimsy
sheet of poorly written manuscript on
some scraggly old tree where the first gust
OF wind or few drops of rain will dcmol-
ish or twist it out of all recognition. The
man who pays taxes year in and year out
has right to know what is being done
with it. and he ought not to be compelled
to hunt for that information in the back
woods or by the roadside, but should have
the opportunity of taking a peep at the
report in his leisure moments. by his own
cheerful fireside. The cost of publication
is little more than by the "hand-bilr'
method, and surely gives greater satisfac-
tion.
