Well managed roads are fast getting out
OF the practice of furnishing excursionists
with coaches at so much per coach Parties
who get the coaches usually put 100 to 125
people In coach, whereas sixty would be
the number il the coach was furnished at
SO much per head. The most serious feature
OF overlooking coaches is that in case of
accident the damages would be much
greater than they would be were the pas
senger5 seated properly. This method of
plling people in together has proven very
expensive to some roads in the lasS few

The Beautiful Young English Woman
Who Is EleCtr flying London.
From the Netc York Advertiser.
Miss Nina Kennedy is playing the sibyl
to all London. She is the sensation of the
day. In all but her curious power of mind
reading she is human to the red-ripe of the
heart" and very pleasingly human at that.
Even in the performance of her very strk-
ing feats as Zaphnath Paaneah, or re-
vealer OF secrets there is an utter absence of
mystic affectation, which makes the effect Of
her occult power all the more striking. Miss
Kennedy holds the wrist of the inquirer,
physician-like, between her fingers, and
from the beatings of the pulse is apparently
made aware Of the very nature Of the sub
ject under her control She processes in
ability to define or account for her powers,
which have been explained, not too lucidly,
as "a mixture Of clairvoyance, palnIistry
and magnetism Miss Kennedy inherits
on the mothers side. the supernat-
ural abilities Of a Spanish tribe Of
Zingari. Her father was descended
from an old Scotch family cred
tied with second sight. aud she herself was
born between IL and o'clock-the witchinR
hour, though scientists are not agreed as to
tbs actual potence which may be attributed
to this cause. Whenoesoever derived, Miss
Kennedy possesses a remarkable gift, which
she exercises with a very angular charm.

Second Trial OF a Damage Suit Re-
suits in ST. 900 Increase.
The suit of Henry Coleman colored)
against the Ocean Steamship Company for
$1,000 damages was tried a second time in

after being out some time, returned a YER
dict for the plaintiff for 81 800. This is an
increase over the first verdict for 900.
About year ago. while Coleman was
working in the hold of the steamship Des-
soug, a barrel OF rosin, which was being
loaded, fell upon his leg and broke it. After
verdict for $500 was given, a motion for a
new trial was made by the steamship com

Yesterdays verdict was little surprise all
around on account of the big increase.

company.
