SOME TROURLESOME LAW.


There is not a little carelessness in the
transfer of shares of corporations, and
sometimes such carelessness makes serious
trouble and loss. A case illustrating this
has just neen tried and settled in England.
A man named Lupton sold the same shares
twice, and the company .wrongfully certi-
fed both transfers. Bishop, the second
buyer, sued the Balkis company to recover
the value of the shares, or to compel rec
ognition of himself as shareholder. The
company defended itself upon the ground
that registration of shares and decision of
disputed rights was not a legal duty of
corporations, and that it was not
responsible for errors done ultra
wires, beyond the scope of its
chartered duties. The court refused to
admit the plea, holding it equally the in
terest and duty of corporations to facili-
tate dealing in shares by certifying trans
fers. But the company was excused ON
another ground, that it was only response
BILE for the prima facie accuracy of it's GER
tification. If the company did not wi
fully misrepresent, if the facts were even
apparently as certified, that was enough.
Deeper disputes must be settled by the
courts. The plaintiff lost his money, not
because the company wrongly certified,
but because of an earlier defect, that the
cheating seller did not own what he sold
the second time
This is probably good law, but the man
who suffered the loss will not be apt to
think it Justice

WHAT A SUN-sTROKE Is LIKE.
How a Man Feels when He Is Pros.
trated by the Heat.

From the Louisville CourierJournal-l
How does it feel to be sunstruck. There
are many and varied experiences, accord
ing to the individual and circumstances
under which he is prostrated. Fleshy per-
sons invariably have smothering sensations
and labor hard under the intense strain to
which their respiratory organs are subiec-
ted; but the slender man frequently re-
mains in a perfectly passive state, without
any violent commissions, though this is by
no means the invariable rule.
Some cases of prostration give warning
by violent and jerking pains in the temples
and back some time previous to the COM
ing on of the direct attack, and every per-
son exposed to the heat who feels the
slightest weakening sensation, or experien-
ences an approaching dullness of the SEN
ses. should, by all means, the doctors say,
without undue exertion, hasten to the near
est retreat and have cold application made
to the the head, ,as this rs sure forerunner
of a sun-stroke.
Other persons drop off so suddenly that
they very frequently have not the slightest
recollection of the attack after conscious
ness is restored. One case forcibly illus
trating this is that of Mr.. Patrick Clancy,
who was sunstruck Sunday night last. Mr..
Clancy boarded the Green street car at
Fifth, and was experiencing no inconyen-
fence from the heat at the time. He reached
home, near Twelfth street, at o'clock and
sat down on the steps eonversing with his
family, when suddenly he threw up his
hands and fell back senseless upon the
floor.
Mr.. Clancy was somewhat improved yes
terday, and to a reporter he gave his pecu-
liar experience. 81 had been feeling per-
fectly well" he said, land had no thought
of being sunstruck, even to the moment
the prostration came upon me. Ii came
SO suddenly that hardly had time to
realize what was the matter. / felt dazed,
and everything seemed to whirl around me
as If a cyclone had struck the town. Ny
brain whirled and hot flashes darted
through my body while lightning like
pains pierced my temples and the back of
my head. 4 reeled and threw up my
hands. and from this time / knew no
more for several hours, when 1 began to

the countenances of the earlier part of the
evening.
sInstead of the sharp, cutting pains, a
dull headache set in, and am still suffer
ing from it. My head at the beginning of
the attack felt as big as a barrel, and I felt
a great desire to press it vigorously. No
one who has not had the experience can
conceive of the peculiar sensation from
sunstroke. i had often heard of such
cases, but could not until now realizs
fully the peculiar suffering involved"
Mr.. r.Clancy is fieshy man and the cas-
goes rather hard with him. He had n.
commissions, but during the prostrotiel
smothering sensations rapidly followes
each other He also showed another char
acteristic common to all cases. He con

THE MARRIAGE DRUG.

1t is becoming more and more danger
Gus to live in this world, and even peace
full New Haven is sharing in the general
danger. 1t is whispered that we have the
terrible italian Malta here; that there is a
branch of most dreadful and mysterious
Chinese society in the town; that owing to
defective and unsupervised plumbing our
houses are full of the deadly sewer-gas,
and that all the beer is adulterated. AS if
this were not enough, new terror has
made its appearance in this community
within the last few days. 1t is a drug
which will make anybody want to get
married The existence and use of this
drug came to light through the revelations
of beautiful and highly cultivated young
lady, who visited this city and under the
pernicious influence of this drug married a
brakeman. As she and her mother tell
the story it must have been a powerf nj
drug indeed that would have made her
want to marry brakeman. Had her
drugger been lawyer, or something of
that kind, it would not have been SO sur
prising. And the power of the drug is
still further shown in the fact that it kept
its influence even after she had gone away
from her husbandand led her to want him
and to write and telegraph to him.
There is big lesson in this occurrence.
There is no doubt that this drug would be
as potent in it's influence upon young men
as upon young women. What are the
young men to-do! The awkward and
muddle-headed young men are already nc
match for the graceful and clear-headed
young women. They will stand no show
whatever, now that the powers of this
marriage drug are known. They are lost
unless they act promptly. They must not
eat or drink in the presence of young
women, and they must not eat or drink
out of their presence unless they know
that no young woman, or agent of any
young woman, has had to do with Prepar-
ing their food and drink. They must
guard each other nights, and in every way
look out for themselves. 1t will not dc
for young women to be picking out hus
bands for themselves and drugging then
into marriage.
Something must be done Immediately
A mass meeting of young and other un
married men should be held as soor
as possible, and measures taken t.
find out who makes and sells this marriag
drug. When its maker and seller are dis
covered they should be gently yet frml..
assassinated. No man of any spirit cal
endure to be made to want to marry
young woman If he marries he mus
marry of his own free will.

Mark, How n Plain Talk VIII Put

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Someone calling himself Taxpayer" has
fired some missiles at me in the form of
childish questions. He asks how it has
happened that none of the members of the
board of health were noted for benevolence
before they became sanitarians. In reply
to this, would like to be told how a man
can show his public spirit until he has got
an appropriation of public money to show
it withs 1t seems to me very unwise to
hamper the philanthropy of the board of
health by not voting more money for them
to expend in aid of humane projects.
''Taxpayer" seems like very young
man, for he asks some real like questions.
He wants to know what good has ever
been done by the Board of Health Stuff.
wonder how the people of this town
would ever have known anything about
the germs, the microbes and the bacteria
if it had not been for the sanitarians How
would they have ever learned that cess
pools should be made water tight if the
Board of Health had not told them to
catch the microbes in tight cesspool and
tl0n cdSU Lu6u OuU dlll lct thch loosO out-
side the city limits How would children
ever been raised if the sanitarians had not
told people how to avoid Sewer gas and
kill the bacteria that creates all kinds of
infantil diseases
In conclusion, Taxpayer" intimates
that DR.. Dibble's arguments were better
that those of one of the foremost SANTA
rians. That debate showed clearly two
| things: =
| sanitary science, as is shown by the fact
of his questioning the statements of our
most learned sanitarians.
Second-Dr Dibble is very mean man.
Instead of arguing the great maxims OF
sanitation fairly, he lugged in some testi-
mony that his opponent had given in court
to the effect that a corpse in a refrigerator
would. not injure its contents so long as
the matter was kept secret.
| This was scuryy trick of Dr. Dibble's
! but when the whole question is surveyed
in the light of sanitary science, it increases
our veneration for the subject of a low
trick. The explanation of the ice-boz
matter is this: All sanitarians whom
have ever known or heard of. are higl
minded persons. AS result of this fact
when o sanitarian is employed to go int
court and testify relative to some of eth,
mysteries of his scientific knowledge, wha
occursa Why, as a high minded gentle
man he does not wish to get money with
out rendering an equivalent therefor ant
he tries, as far as consistent with sanitar,
science, to help his employers side all h
cans This explanation shows what a con
temptible creature DR.. Dibble is and com
pletely vindicates sanitary science.

Rats and Cats.

From the Courier des Etats Unis
Here is a story about cats, the last chap
ter of which is connected with the recent
demolition of the old Halle aux Bles in
Paris. About twenty years ago this cat
colony was founded in the most natural
way in the world. One fine day the mil
lers became aware OF the fact that an in
Vulnerable number of rats was encamped
in the Halle. The invaders tore the sacks
and helped themselves freely to the con-
tents. With the view of putting an end
to this bad state of affairs the miles
placed rat traps in all the corners of the
old building, but this turned out to be
useless. Then they had recourse to the
natural enemies of rats and a few cats
were installed in the Halle For some
time everything went on very well The
cats created such havoc and increased and
multiplied so rapidly that in a short time
the place became untenable for rats and the
siege was raised. But in few more years
the cats became so numerous that they in
turn were an -intolerable nuisance. The
directors of the Halle then purchased
about half dozen bulldogs, specially
trained to kill cats; but, as the French say,
the expedient didn't have any suitess be
cause the cats took refuge in inaccessible
places and looked down on the dogs with
contempt. Then the directors undertook to
starve them ont, but that plan didn't work
either, because all the old women in the
neighborhood began to feed them. And
so they went on still increasing. In
despair the directors sent to the police
headquarters a formal complaint against
the cats; and when all the formalities were
duly complied with an officer was sent out
with a package of poison from the munich
pal Laboratory, and the poison, it was ex-
pected, would in a few hours destroy the
whole colony. But here again disappoint
ment was created, for the cunning
things refused to fulfill the condi-
tions of the tempting program In
other words, they left the poisoned
meat for the dogs. The latter, less
wise, devoured it and died, while the Toms
and Tabbys enjoyed themselves at the
feasts which the old woman gave them
Then war was declared in dead earnest.
Under the command of N. Mouqin an
armS of commissariat inspectors supplied
with Flobert carbines advanced upon the
Halle, opened fire upon the cats and
brought them down to reasonable num-
bsr. A great number Of fugitives, how
ever, that had escaped from the slaughtei
encamped in the ruins of the old build
ing, but, now that these ruins are re-
moved, the cats that got away are reduced

Lightning Nor Always From the
Clouds.

Prom the Rochester Democrat.
During the progress of the electrical
storms of July s in this state, it was noted
in several places that electrical discharges
passed from the earth to the clouds as
well as from the clouds to the earth. The
Post-Express described this phenomenon
as observed at IrondequOit bay. A gen
tleman who recently returned from the
Adirondacks observed the same electrical
action. Discharges passed from the hills
across Star lake to the clouds and from
the clouds to the hills. Similar observa-
tions were made in this city i'm 1885 or
1886. Preceding and during the volcanic
eruptions in New Zealand, June IL, 1886,
elecric fire balls or meteors were observed
to pass from the earth. These electrical
discharges were from regions considerably
removed from the volcanic craters-
1t has been urged that the eye cannot
detect the direction of a lightning fash,
and that the passage of discharge from
the earth to the sky is only apparent, an
optical Ilelusion. This objection is EN-
ployed mainly to support a theory that
the passage is always from the sky to the
earth. If the reasoning of the objection
be correct, what is there to support the
theory that the passage is always from the
sky to the earth. The statement that dis
charges are invariably from the sky to the
earth is based on observation and has no
other basis. An object on the earth may
be shattered by bolt passing from the
earth to the sky as well as by passage
from sky to earth The shattering force
is shown when the fluid passes from one
medium to another. The testimony of
sight must be accepted in cases of apparent
passage of the bolt from earth to sky if il
is accepted in the passage from sky to
earth.
