AMONG THE LITIGANTS.
The Case of johnson VS.. s. P. R'y Co.
Sent to the Jury Thursday
Night.


The famous damage suit Of an
employe, G. w. Johnson, in th-
land department at Roseburg,
against the s. p. Co. was finally
submitted TO the jury Thursday
evening. Judge Boise instructed
the jury that the conditions printed
on the back of the pass were not a
bar to his obtaining damages. The
company cited New York and Mas
sachusetts decisions TO relieve them
nf liability in such cases, but the
plaintiffs attorney, Mr.. Ford cited
an array of later cases to the con-
trary, and also showed that while
the United States supreme court
had not directly passed on the ques-
ton, it had intimated that its
course would be In the same line as
the later decisions. No verdict was
returned Thursday night and the
jury had, no doubt, quite struggle
over the damages.
THE VERDICT.
The jury found the company guilty
of neglect as charged. On first bal
lot the estimates of damages ranged
from S75 to 5000. The jurv was out
until 1880 last night, when it agreed
on a verdict. of S2250 damages for
johnson. The company had offered
him $1,000 in settlement, bat this
verdict is considerable better. This
concludes Que of the hardest fought
legal battles, growing out Of the
Labish wreck.

A Club Organized for the Purpose Of Hav.

Bound to Have Good Sport.
Page McCarty, OF Richmond, Va-We have
organized q club down there for sporting pur-
poses that will be heard from favorably some
day. 1t is called the Metompkin Club. 1t owns
10000 acres of shooting lands on the Potomac,
famous for duck, wild turkey, quail and terra
pin. We have a charter from the State of Vir-
ginia in which every member Of the club is a
State peace officer empowered to enforce the
game laws of Virginia. We have the finest
pack of fox hounds in the State-the famous
old King George county pack. The tract of
land embraces the famous Chotank Crete used
of colonial days. In addition to this we have
the option of 70, 900 acres more, almost equally
as good hunting lands. II you will come
down there some of these days We will show
you fox hunt worth seeing. The organizers
of the club besides myself are McBarr Holmes
BransfOrd, United States Navy, and George
Ben Johnston, nephew of General Joe john
ston. II is proposed to have sporting ground
of land and water uneQualed in any section OF
the country. You know the Nirginians are
famous for their love of field sports. In ad-
dition to the natives, however, We have several
prominent New Workers who will take q hand
Federal officers at Washington have been down
looking over the ground and are delighted with
the prospect of a permanent hunting park, such
as We propose.

Underground Transit in New York.

Il. V. Powell, Mechanical Engineer-The pro-
posed tunnel under Broadway and other streets
of New York suggested by Austin Corbn, will,
in my opinion, be about the last thing to be
adopted by New Workers in the way of rapid
transit. Not that an underground system is not
q correct one, but that particular scheme of 60
ing down rs OF 100 feet before travelling to and
from your business will not be a paying venture
because it will not be popular means of
travel. notice that Mr.. Corbin alluded to the
expense his corporation had gone to In order to
ascertain the character Of the sub-strata. In
reality the company didn't expend any money
whatever, but took the reports OF the various
engineers who have bored for artesian wells in
different parts of the city, from the Battery up.
A good many pc sple do not know that quite q
number of artesian wells have been successful
ly put down here. Some of these successful
ones force water to the height Of several feet
above the surface. This water is found at
depths varying from 25O to LOCO feet. An effort
was made at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to reach
water through boring. but after going down
1000 feet or more without success the thing
was given up. All of these various borings
illustrate the character of the rock underlying
Manhattan Island.

People Are Tired of 2 Pedestrisnism.

A Professional p edestrian-The recent con.
test at Madison Square Garden was a great
failure. 1t is clear that people take consider.
ably less interest in pedestrianism than they
did few years ago. On some nights last week
there were often not more than so or 100 people
in the garden, and these did not seem to be
greatly concerned in the walking match.
Probably most or those who attended during
the week were deadheads. A large number of
passes were issued, complimentary. An agree
ment was made by those interested that no
mure than 2.0U0 complimentaries should be
given out; understand that upward of l5 900
were issued. The attempt to paper house
like Madison Square Garden would defeat the
purpose for which tho paper was issued. It is
too big place. In my opinion there will never
be another walking match of this kind in New
York. There Is not enough support any longer
from the community at large.

her highest excellence. She made common
life interesting. The most discriminating
critics have given her books unstinted
praise. She did not take to novel writing
with desire for fame and fortune. but being
single and without the cares and worries OF
married life her taste and inclination
prom pied her to the use Of her pen.
She appears 10 have been extremely
modest and difident as to her powers. So
much SO that it was with difficulty that her
friends persuaded her to venture. on sub
mitting her first book-"Sense and Sensi-
bility"-to a Publisher. 1t made hit,
however, much to her surprise, and netted
her what she considered an amazing sum
nearly $500. Her pictures of society and
domestic life are so vividly true and life
like that someone has said that ''the social
life of the England of the period could be
reconstructed from them it all other his
tories aud records were to be swept away"
Her books are considered classic, though
like others penned by "immortals," they
have gone out of fashion, and are but little
read in this rushing nineteenth century,
when Walter Scott grows tedious and the
charm Of Charles Dickens is on the wane.
Very Pleasing spInster.
Jane Austen was noted for her cheerful
ness, sweet temper and benevolence, no less
than for her beauty of person, and pleasing
manners. She lived a single life-not SO
many years as Joanna Baillie or Maria
Edgeworth, but long enough to be subject
to the derision of fools as an old maid-long
enough to reach the rank of master in the
field Of fiction. Women were set aside from
the royal succession on the ground that
France was too noble country to, be ruled
by a woman" but there is no Salic law in
literature. ---'
Now there are those who will maintain
that these old maids had missed th .ir high
est calling in lite; that they would have
been better employed in the domes-
tic mission in the kitchen and
the nursery. Or if they could
not catch husband by beauty, or
money, or diplomacy, they could at least
work slippers for the clergy, or make fancy
things for fairs. 1t is of little avail with
such arrogant objectors to say that brains
are bestowed for use, that talents are given,
not to be buried but to be improved.
The women of whom I speak were ''old
maids" but they were gifted with exalted
powers for doing good. That they did not
marry and left no children, only matches
the fact that some Of the greatest of writers
among men were unmarried and childless.

Pleasures of Life in Siam,

General Haldeman, late Minister to siam-I

successor at Bankok. He had just arrived and

dents 60 afford all of the society necessary TO .

A Story of Lawrence Barrett.

A Newspaper Mantle late Lawrence Bar
rett's presence of mind in an emergency was
remarkable. As you have seen from the
obituary notices, he was man possessed of an
immense amount OF grit He went through in
his early stage life what would have completely
cured any man of dramatic ambition. re-
member one occasion when he was playing
Richelieu this stamina prevented what would
have otherwise been disastrous panic In
the theater. In the act where he comes into
his study with an open Roman lamp in his
hand the flames caught the curtain. He was in
the midst of his soliloquy. Without hesitating
an instant or even pausing in his lines he
caught at the flames with his other hand, but
didn't reach high enough to smother them.
The audience was breathless with excitement.
Sweeping his cardinal robe aside and changing
the lamp into his other hand, he grasped the
curtain, which was looped back as a portiere,
and pulled the whole business down and
trampled it under his feet. That audience
rose as one person, and thought they would
take the roof off with the vooiferous apprecia-
tiOn Of his presence of mind.

The Danger of a Cold.

DR.. Cyrus Edison-Perhaps you wouldn't
think SO, but q very large proportion of dis
eases in New York come from carelessness
about catching cold. A cold is very simple
thing to most people, and they pay little or no
attention to it. II 1t were some serious disease
thew would probably break their necks, SO to
sneak. to get doctor and to follow his advice.
But it is such simple thing and SO common
that very few people. unless it is case of
pneumonia. pay any attention to cold. New
York is one of the healthiest places on the At
lantic coast, and yet there are a great many
cases OF catarrh and consumption, which have
cautions of everyday life. If doctor tells any
of these people that . oold is a serions thing
they would probably laugh at him. and think
a fee. One feature Of cold. and I mean the
cnmmou. everyday article. is that It often

Chicago Herald.
Maurice Cerass, who cooks at the Colum-
biau Hotel i'll Hyde Park, wrapped his big
red arms around big can of cranberry jam
Wednesday afternoon and started to walk
across the street. A small melancholy dog,
OF pleasing ecru shade, was strolling aim
lessly down the street at the same time. Mr..
CeraSa's feet struck the dog and he plunged
forward in such q manner as to fall all over
himself and the street simultaneously, at
the same time rsmming his head into the
can of jam.
When be gathered himself together and
arose. the cranberry juice, which had run
all over his head and down the back OF his
neck without any loss to speak of, he looked
as lawn mower had been run over his
face. Officer Parker, who drives the Hyde
Park patrol wagon, saw the sanguinary
spectacle from the police station across the
way, and leaped into the street and at Ce-
rasa. He thought the Italians had cut loose
with their knives again. Cerass ran down
Fifty-third street for about five blocks, with
the policeman and large crowd after him.
It took some time to quiet Cerasa and Par

Forced to Be a Democrat.

General Black. of South Carolina-If was
Northerner would probably be Republican.
AS it is, no respectable white citizen Of the
South can be scarcely anything but a Democrat
under the existing order of things. This Is not
wholly a question of race prejudice with Us,
but because the interests of the most respect
able portion of the Southern communities are
naturally aligned on the side of home rule.
We believe in home rule In the South, the same
as patriotic Irishmen believe in home rule for
Ireland. If there were any movement looking
to q division on this question of national pol
ltics without sacrificing the grand principles
of home rule, there would be good many white
people who are now Democrats voting the Re-
publican ticket. When the Federal Govern
ment ceases to interfere or attempting to in
terfere with local home rule in the South, then
the Republican party will stand some show Of
carrying Southern States in general election.
That point might have been reached some time
ago but the ill-advised attempts of the ma jority
in Congress and the Republican administration
to control our local elections have placed that
possibility beyond immediate reach. These
attempts have stimulated the home feeling to
such an extent that 1t will be q long time be-
fore the effect is destroyed.

Claims Against Rich People.

A Broadway Tradesman-Rich people are
very often the very hardest people with whom
we have to deal It lis sometimes almost i'm
possible to collect bill against one Of these
rich New Yorkers without legal proceedings.
In such cases as that very few tradesmen will
sue, and will consequently not collect the bill
at all, There are two reasons for this. One is,
the cost of the suit will probably be moro than
the amount of the bill, and the other reason is
such an action would gain tor the tradesman
only the ilI-will Of the delinquent debtors
friends. Some of these fellows are well-known
club men; what you call men-about-town. and
they have great many friends. It is not SO
much dishonesty on their part as it is a cold
blooded carelessness of money and an indltfer-
ence to the rights of other people. They simply
don't care anything about 1t, and don't want to
be bothered with 1t. Such fellows may spend
thousands Of dollars every month. and yet have

Don't Wait TIL the Horses Are Stolen.

A Builder-You will notice that of late years
most of the houses uptown are provided with
very strong defenses as to the lower floors.
This is NOT because burglary and general house.
breaking is any more prevalent now than in
former years. but it is a very useful precaution,
and people who are having private residences
built find that it is good deal cheaper to give
ample security to the lower floors in the way
of bars and gratings than it is to risk q loss by
burglary once in so years. or to expend the
same money for private watchmen. Ii is true,
town give the appearance of q jail to the resi-
dences, but they are very useful and are very
su bstantial preventives to housebreaking. In
usually built up solid, with only small grated
window, the front doors were of solid oak and
all bars of metal. That was when every mans
house was not only his castle in theory, but was
constructed with a view to defense in case of
necessity from street mobs and personal depre-
dations,
