The Burlington Must Pay
$4,000 Damages to
Fred A. Hall.
Who as an Engineer, has Been
Crippled and Invalided
for Life.
The Railroad Is Severally
Handled by the Appel
late Judges.
Batch Of Important Decisions
u Filed in Supreme
i Court.

The Burlington road fails in its appeal
to the supreme court in the case of Fred
A. Hall, respondent, VS.. The Chicago.
Burlington & Northern Railway Com
pany, appellant. In the trial court Hall
was awarded by the jury $40, 1883 dam
ages for injuries sustained by him as an
engineer on the Burlington. The sum
was cut down to $4,000 by Judge Kelly
as a condition to denying a new trial.
The supreme court upholds this de-
cision. Hall was seriously mutilated,
and is considered cripple and invalid
for life. The court, i'll passing upon
the case, says:
SIT is not pleasant task to describe the
terrible injuries which this plaintiff sus-
tanned or the untold agony and suffering
which he has endured, and which ne VIII
probably continue to considerable extent
to endure during life. He was an able-bodied
young man, capable of earning a good in
come from his profession. He is now an
almost helpless cripple and invalid for life.
Life to him will hereafter be burden rather
than pleasure His heroic conduct in stay
ing at his post of duty and haZarding his own
life in order to save the lives of his paSSen-
gers may have so commended itself to the
jury that they awarded him somewhat more
damages than they otherwise would, but we
fail TO discover anything indicating that they
were actuated by passion, prejudice, or any
corrupt motive"
The syllabus, filed with opinion, con-
cludes:
1.-The verdict held not so excessive as to
warrant this court III saying that it was the
result of passion, prejudice or any corrupt
motive
The damages are the heaviest OBJ
tanned in court III this state.

ITO SOW TARES. :"

The st. Louis Republic of day or
two since has from a New York source
report of the conference of ex-Sena-
tor PIERCE and Secretary HALFoRD
That preceded a little dinner party at the
White house, at which Tom Lowry was
also present, and aprOgramme arranged
TO check the BLAINE current in the
party in this state, and save it for HAIR
RIsON. These incidents are familiar,
and the only notable point is in the fol-
lowing:
BLAINE's picture has not appeared in the
paper since, and the editorials have been
straight out-and-Out HARRISON editorials
The politicians Of the state are not particularly
moved by them. because they don't like the
idea of having an ex-senator from North
Dakota step across the line and all of q sud
den begin his missionary work for II ARRIsoN
They want 10 be left alone and shout for
BLAINE, but as rapidly as he is able PIERCE
is sowing tares in BLAINE's wheat field
LOWRY does not mind for he is too busy to
pay much attention to politics. and too much
of gentleman TO seem 10 violate any agree
ment he may have made while seated al the
White house table.
The deplorable sectional feeling is
perhaps not un-Republican, but lacks
the breadth Of patriotism. There should
be no pettish sulking at those whe come
from other states "to do missioary work''
among them. If there is a contract to
sow HARRISON "tareS" in the BLAINE
wheat field, docility and loyalty become
I'll good Republicans.

They Earn Their Pay.

The Cincinnati Com merciai Gazette.
in an editorial consideration of life in
surance. says that the colossal magnitude
of that mighty interest ''alm"st over
whelms the ordinary man as he ap-
prOaches the figures. Millions are dealt
with as if they were thousands, and in
vestments are made on scale that is
nothing less than gigantic. They are
made because they have to be made.
The vast sums that are pouring in, liter
ally from every quarter of the globe,
have to be put out to earn interest. A
part of each premium is made up of the
reserve element. As has been frequently
set forth in thse columns, this reserve is,
broadly defined, that amount which,
placed at interest at certain rate, will,
at the end of the term for which the
policy is issued, amount to the face of
the policy. The aggregation of these
individual sums makes the sum total
that the company has to deal with. By
the very nature of things, therefore; by
the necessity of its existence, the COM
panY has to seek investments. The ne
cpssity is as imperative when the amount
involved is over hundred millions as
when it is only a hundred thousand.
The investment must, too. be made
speedily. Delay means loss of interest,
and interest is vital.
Everybody who has few thousand
dollars to invest knows the trouble he
is put to. He talks with his friends.
He sees his banker He goes to broker.
He lets his money lie fdle for weeks and
months. He lends it on call. or he puts
it into a real estate mortgage. Suppose
he had ten times a thousand to care for,
what would he do? Suppose he had ten
times ten thousand, and ten times that,
and then a hundred times a million.
Well, for our part. we think that the
men that have the responsibility of
handling and investing these prOdigious
sums are entitled to all the salaries
large as they may be-that they re-

CARDINAL GIBBONS.
Foreigners, He says, Must Mind
Their Own Affairs.

BALTIMORE, July 2.-Cardinal Glib
bons tonight said, in regard to the
Rome cablegram of to-day. which stated
that the pope had written him
declaring that he would never con-
cede the demands of Herr Cahensly:
81 will be very glad to receive the let
ter from the pope, for it will remind
foreigners that the episcopate of the
United States are fully capable of dis
charging their duties, and that. while
the bishops are zealons in the fulfill
ment of their spiritual functions,
they are thoroughly loyal to the
country and in harmony, as they
ought to be, with her political institu-
tons. We trust that the letter of the
holy father will serve to restrain for
eigners from any hasty or unwarrant-
able interference with our domestic af-
fairs in the future. They seemed to be
impressed with the idea that the Cath
olicS in the United States are simply an
aggregation of foreigners, while in re-
atty they are made up of natives, some
of whose ancestors, especially in Mary
land, have been settled in the country
for several generations.

does not look large in COMPARE
son with the crowds that cross the ocean
every year. Yet the journey is long
one, and it is great undertaking. Rail-
roads are not numerous up there, and a
great many vessels could be filled with
them. 1t is understood that times have
not been quite as prosperous in Iceland
of late. Nature has not afforded them
much chance for reciprocity with other
peoples. and even as a summer resort
the country has disadvantages. The
migratory movement, if it becomes an
actuality, will be mainly due to DR.. Won
DOLCKE, a native of the country, who
has been in this country for some time
and made the matter a subject of phil
anthrOpic Investigation. He has an idea
that it will be easier to induce
those who are attached to Iceland
as the land of their birth, of
their fathers, and in view of the
other sentimental notions that people
have about any kind Of hOme, to go to
Alaska than any other part of the
United States. 1t has features to sug-
gest the regions they have left. The
rule with the migrating peoples has
usually been to follow the isothermal
line as nearly as may be. There will be
considerable departure from this prac-
tice if they go to any explored part of
Alaska. There are a few Icelanders in
North Dakota, and perhaps the north
part of this state. They are an intelli-
gent. sturdy, industrious and quite de-
sirable element, in spite of the fact
that they have been well isolated from
the world. They can, nc doubt, obtain
large bodies of land much easier in
Alaska, but otherwise it would seem as
if a blunder were made in not coming to
this size of the Manitoba line, if the
migration is made as suggested.

1t is a stupendous operation to move a

THE NEW LAKE.
Colorado Desert Waters Still Ris-
ing Steadily.

ing Steadily.
Tucson, Ariz., July 1.-Advices
from Yuma say the water in the Colo
RADIO desert basin continues to rise.
Two cars at Salton, which IS five
miles from the main track of the
Southern Pacific. are five feet in
water. Yesterday a Whitehall boat
was down from Santa Monico with
crew who are exploring the lake. They
claimed Indian runners encircled the
lake to-day, and it is certain that the
lake is fed from Subterranean source,
as no surface inlet was discovered. Ar
tesian wells in the the basin have
ceased to flow. The machinery is being
removed from the salt factories at Sal
ton.
SAN FRANCISCO, July IA special
from Bedlands says the editor of a local
paper has returned from an inspection
of the lake forming at Salton in the
Colorado desert, and reports the lake at
least twelve miles in width at Salton,
which is pear the western end of the
water. He made trip over two miles
into the water on switch connect
ing the salt works with the
Southern Pacific and from that point
the water extends farther than the eye
can reacp. Among the people at Saiton
the utmost varieties of theories are held,
but the finding of salt water fish would
indicate that the water came from the
ocean. The water is but two or
three feet in depth and so strong
does the wind blow that at times
the water recedeS nearly half a mile and
then the shifting winds will bring it
back farther than before, This makes
it impossible to determine, except at
long intervals, whether the volume of
water is increasing or not. The level
of the lake is now about fifteen feet
below the lowest point of the Southern
Pacific main line. and, figuring on
rise in water made, it would be some
weeks before the road won d be flooded.

this morning Sheriff Reynolds took from
the sleeper a man in a violent state of
insanity, who proved to be Andrew
Row, the owner of valuable mining
property in the neighborhOod of Ward
ner, Idaho. He told the sheriff in an
incoherent way that he was on his way
TO Europe and that he intended to stop
over at place in Eau Claire county,
Wis, called NOrsville, to visit his
two brothers and cousin named
ROmmstat. He said he had become
scared somewhere on the train and lost
his reason. His ticket read from Spo-
kane Falls to st. Paul, but he wandered
to Sioux City, and thence to Madelia,
where he purchased ticket to Eau
Claire On his person were found drafts
on Spokane Falls aud Idaho banks for
81, $50, money to the amount OF $3.50,
gold watch and silver watch. He eX-
pressed a desire to die, and asked the
Sheriff in what way he proposed TO kill
him. His valise has disappeared. 1t
was probably lost or stolen on the train.
He said it contained note for $500,
deeds to mining property in Idaho, val
liable specimens from the mines and

graphed his friends in Wisconsin and

A PHASE OF SOCIALISM.

There is a suggestion Of incOngruity,
at least of improbability, in the idea of
p socialist millionaire, a bloated bond
holder, who would have a good deal
more of equality IL the possession of
5he good things OF life. There is one in
New York, HENRY GAYLORD VIII
BHIRE, an eloquent and persuasive ad-
Vocate of socialistle doctrines, bot h as
writer and speaker. He is d gentleman
of refined tastes and polished demeanOr,
now rusticating with his highly edu-
Gated and beautiful wife at one of the
fashionable summer resorts. This NAV
be all in line with practical socialism,
but differs somewhat from the idea gen
orally held. The passage Of special in
serest relates to this lady. She was the
wife of w. c. OWEN, an English
man of literary tastes, who was
also a socialist orator and writer. He
was very fond of his charming and ,ac-
complished wife, but was poor, and It
grieved him that he was unable to sup
ply the lap Of luxury for her enjoyment.
Mr. Wiltshire was his close friend, labor
ing in a common cause. He was rich,
had no wife, and was 4 favored visitor
at the humble OWEN dwelling. 1t was
a painful feeling with OWEN that he
could not support his wife in the style
he wished her to have, while his frie nd
could. A conference Of the three was
held, and the vote was unanimous that
a divorce had better be had and Mrs.
OWEN become Mrs. WILTSHIRE. BY the
aid of California court and the con
Venient intimatiOn of incOmpatibility
The deal was consummated, and the
domestic goose hung higher than ever.
The old husband is a Iifle sad at his loss,
but he loves his successorin the Damon
Pythias style. If socialism bears such
fruits, it Is perhaps necessary TO reverse
