The risk which pedestrians run from recli-
less driving in the city streets is sufficiently
indicated by the record. printed in another
column. OF siXty-two accidents within less
than four weeks OF last month. Three OF the
people knocked down by careless drivers died
OF their Injuries.
Nevertheless. II is proper to say that some OF
the most crowded and difficult OF street cross
inGs are made the safest spots in town by the
policemen regularly stationed there. 1t is
worth travelling miles to see paternal govern
ment, in the best sense as il is administered by
some OF the experienced officers of tho Broad
way squad. On West street, too ut the ap-
proaches TO the great ferries, where the tanGle
oil vehicles is at ts worst possible. the interests
OF foot passengers are admirably protected by
the police. The officer who for several years
has had charge Of the crowded and dangerous
crossing to the Hoboken Terry at the foot OF
Barclay street affords daily an example of what
coo!-headed skill. decision, and quiet and pa
tlent good nature can accomplish in the solu-
ton OF Jams and the preservation OF human
life. He is NAPOLEON in his way: and thers
are more like him at the West street crossings
and ut other points of peril.
Nor are the drivers Of trucks and other We
hices invariably careless OF the rights Of pc
destrians. Instances arc on record of almost
knightly courtesy and unselhsh consideration
on the part Of the gentleman on the high seat.

American Women.

Daughters OF America" or "Women
of the Century" is the title of new
book issued by True & Co. The
work takes up many of the women of
America who have passed into history,
and whose lives were a benediction to
those among whom they mingled, and
the record of whose lives is calculated to
give higher aims to the readers OF the
work. A sketch of the wives and also
OF the mothers of the Presidents of the
United States is given, which OF itself
gives the book value as history, while
many of the Dorases and Florence
Nightengales of America are spoken Of
in a way which is calculated to lead to q
higher life. The book is being sold by
G. w. Milligan.

Our contemporary on the corner of
Main and High streets, under three
story head, discusses the reform" that is
in the air, and points rs proof of the
fact to the result of the recent election
in the Fourth Senatorial District of
Ohio, composed of Brown and Clermont
counties The district was conceded to
be Democratic beyond a peradventure,
and nobody was surprised at the result.
But why localize this reform? This
Democratic reform has been in the air
a whole year in the West Virginia Legis-
lature, where last week they seated
Flemming Governor OF that State under
"reform" methods. And again the same
kind OF reform was beautifully carried
into effect by the Democratic Senators
of this State in seating Mr.. Marquis
Lieutenant Governor of Ohio in place OF
Mr.. Lampson, who had been elected by
the people. Then there are the reform
methods adopted by the Democrats OF
the Lower House OF Congress and other
methods in Montana. Spread yourself
out, Mr.. Gazette, and show just how
general and genuine the "reform" is
that is in the air.

The unusual warm winter has been

houses and the repairing Of old. This
fact hos made such a demand on wall
paper stock at Bowles' as to almost com.
pletely wipe ont their old stock. This
has necessitated the first shipment Of
their new goods which are the most
beautiful designs ever brought to this
market and are cheaper than ever. Per
sons wanting wall papers and window
shades should call and examine this new
stock before purchasing.

Refnte What Charges |?

The Hillsboro Gazette of last week,
with true Democratic instinct, discerns
charges against Ex-Governor Foraker in
the ballot box forgery investigation
which is now going on in Washington
City. The credit Of discovering these
charges must be conceded to our able
contemporary. The NEws-HERALD, with
a host of other Republicans, has discov-
cred nothing against Foraker, or for
that matter against Halstead either in
this BALLOT box forgery affair, except
they allowed A. g. Wood to pass a
forged paper upon them as the genuine
article. Both OF these above named
gentlemen have confessed their folly in
their eagerness to insure Republican
success. but it remained for our brother
OF the Gazette to discover charges and it
still remains for the same astute writer
TO make known what those charges are.
Tell your readers and the rest of the
creation what those charges against
Foraker are, Brother Houeh, and while
". are at it explain against what Fora
ker is defending himself before Com
psittee q Investigation.

We call the attention OF our Demo.
cratic exchanges to the fact that there is
a malicious scheme on foot to wrest $780,.
600 of the honestly (?) earned dollars
from the pockets of Democratic Senator
elect Cal. Brice, and placing them in the
county treasury at Lima. The Repub.
licans call it delinquent back tax, but it
is evidently a nefarious plot to rob an
honest Democrat, who, by his recent
good fortune, has been chosen one of the
nations law. makers and under the cir
cums,ances would feel delicacy in en-
tering any protest. But the Democratic
editors and contributors for Democratic
journals need feel no squeamishness
about ventilating the scheme. 1t is full
OF meaning, gentlemen, and you are 80
much interested in discriminating the
truth that it becomes your duty to show
the true inwardness of the above plot

Legal Propositions Submitted.

As was said in last weeks issue Of the
NEWS. HERALD that the time of the Com.
mon Pleas Court was occupied in hearing
testimony and pleas in reference to the
debts and liabilities of the stockholders
of the Columbus & Maysville Railway,
at the close of the hearing testimony
and argument, Judge Evans, of Chilli.
cothe, took the case under advisement.
We do not pretend to understand the
different features OF the case, and as the
Hillsboro Gazette puts it, III the CourN
after hearing it can tell anything about it
he will have earned his salary" seems to
be Just conclusion on the part OF any
save of legal minds connected with the
case. AS quite a number OF the people
OF this town and the surrounding coun'
try are interested in what has taken
place in regard to their interests we
publish the following legal propositions
submitted to the court in behalf Of the
original stockholders by G. II. Collins,
Esq, of this place: Mr.. Collins claims :
LIST. That no man could recover on
his claim who had means aud opportu-
nifty to inform himself, and who dealt
with the Buell. syndicate knowing he
was dealing with the syndicate acting
on its own account, even III it used the
name of the Columbus & Maysville Rail-
road Company.
I'd. That no man could recover on
his claim whether in judgment or only
an open account who gave credit to the
company with knowledge of the cancel
lation of its stock and its total want of
assetts.
Sd. No person can recover who as.
sented to the cancellation of the stocks
or acquiesced therein or who knew OF the
arrangements by the company with its
stockholders that ii they would pay ten
per cent. on their stock to pay existing
debts, that then no ner liabilities would
be created.
4th. That the persons who paid ten
per cent. under the arrangement with
the company to Rquidate eristing debts
and received releases are only bound for
debts then existing and not for future
debts.
9Th. That persons who gave or donated
their stock to the company are not liable
for subsequent debts. That only those
who were corporate creditors at the time
OF the cancellation could object, but no
creditor whose debts occurred after the
cancellation could object. That express
notice need not DO shown to either
stockholders or creditors, but it might
be inferred il tho means of notice were
sufficient so as to raise presumption ol
knowledge and acquiescence. That il
need not be shown a0irmatipely that al
the other stockholders assented, but
that the stockholders objecting mus,
themselves plead and show that after
being informed OF the fact they protested
That proof OF cancellation need not nee
essarily be by the corporate records
but might be shown by evidence thai
the subscriber was not regarded by him
self or the company as stockholder.
9th. That no officer OF any company
is entitled to pay for services except in
pursuance of contract made beforehand
There can be no back pay.
4 9TH. That where estates have heeu
