WHAT THE WIRES BROUGHT
10 LAST NIGHT.

Heavy verdict Against the south
ern Railroad AssOciatiOm-Othe
Interesting Items From the New
World and the Old.
WILMINGTON, Del, January 2.-ln the
Superior court this afternoon the jury in
the case of Elizabeth b. McComb vs.. the
Southern railroad association rendered a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the
full amount claimed, 81, ,2O4, 100, being
the heaviest ever given in Delaware
court. The plaintiff is the widow OF the
late Col. Henry S. McComb, who was a
heavy stockholder in the Mississippi
Central railroad, which was absorbed
by the Southern railroad association,
and the verdict is for nine hundred Mis-
sissipi Central coupon bonds of 81 900
each bearing interest at seven per cent.
from the date of the issue December Is,
1873. The verdict does little more than
establish the validity of the plaintiffs
claim, since the assets will fall for below
satisfying the Judgment.
An argument was begun in the United
States Circuit court here to-day in an
allied case entitled "the Rogers locomo-
tive and machine works OF New Jersey to
the use of New Jersey, to the use Of Eliza.

HEAVY RAIN STORM.
EI.ECTRIC WIRE CASUALTIES
IN st. LOUIS.
A Horse and Dog Killed and sey-
eral PersOnS severely Shocked
by stepping Upon Fallen Wires
Other Incidents.


ST. Louis, January 2.-Thc heavy rain
storm of yesterday and last night sadly
demoralized all kinds of electric wires in
this city, and it was not until after mid
night last night that they were brought
into proper working order. The tele-
phone was especially exasperating, it be-
ing almost impossible to get communica-
ton over it, and several serious accidents
were occasioned by the electric light wires.
About o'clock in the evening an electric
light wire fell to the ground at the corner
of Seventh and Morgan streets. A few
moments later Mr.. and Mrs. Smith and
their little dog passed the corner. The
dog touched the wire and was a corpse
in a jiffy Mrs. Smith ran to the dog.
and not seeing the wire, stepped on it,
and was thrown some distance and fell
unconscious. Her husband sprang to
pick her up, and received severe shock,
hut was not rendered nsensible. Mrs.
Smith was restored to consciousness by
a physician, but had narrow escape
from death. A crowd collected, and Geo.
Reeves, coming in contact with the wire,
was knocked insensible. A fireman
named Hogan rushed to the rescue and
was very severely shocked. Reeves was
so badly hurt that he was sent to the
city hospital. A horse was killed by
stepping on a fallen wire in the corner of
Vandeventer and Finney avenues, and
several other minor accidents occurred in
different parts of the city.

HOrNc Thieves,

What amounts to panic exists among
the farmers Of Davidson and adjoining
counties in middle Tennessee. A splendidly
organized band of horse thieves has been
operating there for months without let or
hindrance. 1t is estimated that within
the last two weeks 200 horses have been
stolen and run into Kentucky fastenncss,
where it is next to impossible to follow
them or the thieves. Not one of these
animals has been recovered. II is sup.

MISCELLANEOUS.
J. S. GRANT, Phi. c.,
OF Philadelphia College Of Pharmacy.
ApOthecary, a. South Main Ct.

The Old Year has drawn to a close,
and with the beginning of the New Year
we wish to thank the public for their
patronage and recognition of our efforts
to do our full duty. We are fully con-
scious that it is to them that we owe the
unexpected success of the past year, in
which our business has been more than
doubled, and we can only regard it as
new evidence that our business maxims
are such as to cause our customers to
have confidence in us and attract those
who are cautious in dealing with any
Pharmacist until they have become fully
assured of the nature and extent of his
business principles. In our dealing with
the public we realize that the most scru.
pulous care and honesty are paramount
in Importance. Ifthcse are virtues in
all ordinary business transactions, they
become sacred duties in Pharmacy, and
without them no one can be a true Phar-
nacist. The health, maybe the life, of
those dealing with the Apothccary de-
pends upon them. We consider it our
most sacred duty to shun adulterations
and spoiled as well as inferior drugs.
They constitute an evil from which Phar.
macy suffers no less than the public. The
evil is not new one, inaugurated in late
years; it has existed as long as there
were men whose cupidity was stronger
than their sense of justice, and it will
doubtless continue as long as there may
be men with conceptions of business so
vague that they expect to purchase gold
for the money value of dross. There are
no other moral principles required for
transacting a Pharmaceutical business
than are necessary for any other business.
Unwavering integrity that remains unin-
fuenced BY the visions of gold along the
road of questionable or deceitflI prac-
tices is the only foundation for success
that is worthy the name; it is so in
every pursuit, and more particularly in
Pharmacy, where as matter of neces-
sity it must be combir-~ ~: instant
Tet'anoe IN ah directions, so as TO secure
an possible sater" ois.
These are rse principles wAIch we have
cHdearored 10 i've up TO, and 20 o'hich
we trust our increasing success IS due.
We hope our former patrons will show
the same kindness toward US in the fu-
ture that they have in the past, knowing
that no action of ours will ever make
them regret a continuance OF their IA
vors. Tours truly,
Us. GRANT, Ph. G., Pharmacist,

1.-THE funniest thing that has turned up
thus far in connection with the prepara.
ton for the tenth census,'' said Mr.. KIM
of the census bureau to n Washington Star
reporter, ''has come about through the
sending Of what might be called minia-
ture registers Of births and deaths 10 col
ored clergymen all over the South, with
requests that the little scheduled blank
books should be filed In with memoranda
concerning all the blacks I'm their par
ishes who CHANGED 20 be born or TO die
during the census year. q see, from
that part Of the country II is very difficult
to obtain accurate contributions to our
vital statistics regarding b negroes
information, that 10 to say, as to the ages
at which they die, the disease to which
they succomb, and all such things from
which we derive valuable knowledge as
TO the relations between disease and race,
longevity and occupation,. and so on.
Down there many colored infants are
born without any such attendant formali-
ties as registration, and many colored
people die without medical attendance or
legal c~ognizance of the fact. So we
Thought il a good idea TO ask these par
sons, who are always men OF large infiu-
ence among their people, TO put down in
the blank ook we sent them memoir
anda upon such matters in their own par
ishes."
"A novel idea"
'"Quite so. Also n good one we thought,
But the immediate results of its applica'
ton have been q trifle surprising. W.
told the Clergyman whom We addressed
that we were merely asking q service
which would be entirely voluntary on

they would assist us i'm our efforts TO make
