Street Car Passengers Must
Carefully Watch the
Conductor, j,
And See That Their Trans
fers Are Correctly
Punched.
Otherwise They Can Be Eject
ed From the Cable or
Electric.
Evidence Very Weak Against
the Alleged Lumber
Trust.

Judge Kerr made an important ruling
yesterday that is of especial interest to
those who ride on the street cars. The
test of the ruling is that the order of the
railway company, requesting paSSen-
gers to inspect transfer slips for the
purpose of seeing that they are correct,
is a reasonable one, and the company is
not liable in an action for a tort in
/ ejecting passenger who does not have
valid transfer slip. The ruling was
made in the case of Luke w. Buz-
zell against the st. Paul City Railway
| company, which was in course of
trial The plaintiffs testimony showed
that he rendered transfer check to a
conductor and it was rejected because
the date was punched out for the day
before. The man was elected from the
car because he would not pay fare. The
suit was brought which, in legal par
lance, is for damages sounding i'll tort,
or for wrong done. After the plaint-
ifs evidence was introduced Attorneys
McCafferty and Moves moved that the
jury be instructed to find for the de-
fendant.
The plaintiff asked to be allowed to
amend his complaint SO as to allege
breach of contract instead of being one
for the wrongful act of ejecting him
from the car. These matters were
argued at length.
Judge Kerr reviewed the law in an
exhaustive manner. Taking the view
that at the present stage of proceedings
the complaint ought not to be amended
so as to change the action from tort to
breach of contract. In the former action
the plaintiff would be entitled to recover
for Injured feelings and humiliation by
being elected from the car, in the latter
class of actions he could only recover
part of the fair paid and loss of time OR
for the consequences of delay. DeciS-
referred to to illustrate the prin-
clple that the company has the
right to make a reasonable rule such as
that requiring the passenger to inspect
the transfer slip to see if it is correct
before accepting it. One Of the decis-
ions referred to is to the effect that the
Union Depot company made a reason
able rule i'll requiring passengers to-
show their tickets before being allowed
egreSS at the gates. Judge Kerr indi4e
Gated that as the transfer slip in this
case was dated the day before, it was
the duty OF the conductor to comply
with the rule of the company and refuse,
to accept it. In an action of this chaill
acter he would instruct the jury to find
for the company. and declined to allow
the plaintiff to- amend the complaint
after submitting his case. =
Before the order was made to instruct
the jury, however, the plaintiff asked
leave to dismiss his case, and permission
to do so was given. This course will 1
permit the bringing of new action
alleging breach of contract, for failure
of the conductor on the first car to give
proper transfer slip. ..-. = ID

WET OR DRY.
An Aiderman's knowledge of the

Seasons.
There was considerable merriment
afiOat in Judge Egan's court yesterday
afternoon, during the trial of the case
of Grogan against the city. Some time
during the summer of 1890, child of
Grogan's, while playing in the vicinity
of pool of water at the intersection of
Brewster ana Winter streets, tumbled
in and was drowned. Aid. John Gehan,
the sweet singer of the Ninth ward, was
OH the stand for while and described
with great accuracy the topography Of
the country in the region of the pond i'll
question.
''In the wet season." said John, ''the
water collected in large quantities in a
hollow near the corner"
How was it in dry weather." in
quired the plaintiffs counsel.
''In the dry season." began john
But he was met with an interruption
from defendants counsel, who objected
to Mr.. Gehan's testimony on this point
on the ground that he was indulging in
hearsay evidence. II don't think coun-
sells objection is we'll taken," said John
ID. O'Brien. ''Mr. Gehan should know
whether it is dry season or not, more
especially as he is an alderman"
This sally, which all understood, pro-
voked great laughter, in which the court
took part. Mr.. O'Brien continued:
''Of course l mean the dry season
from a strictly meteorological stand
point"
Another roar followed and the case
proceeded.

IS THERE A TRUST?
The Federal Grand jurors Are
Overhauling Lumber Firms.

Overhauling Lumber Firms.
No indictment has yet been reported
by either the state or federal grand
juries against any of the lumber firms
in either of the Twin Cities. 1t was
exclusively intimated in the GLOBE of
Tuesday that an attempt was being
made TO Investigate the transactions
in lumber by some firm or firms.
The reason that no particular
concern was mentioned is because no
firm in particular was charged with at
tempting to force up the price of lum-
Der. Considerable complaint of this nat.
ure has been made by people in differ
ent parts of the state. Ii. g. Day, of the
Albert Lea Standard, has published
articles IN his paper on the subject and
has been making an effort to have some
one indicted for unlaWfully combining
TO force the prices. The last effort in
this line has been made before the fed
eral grand jury, now sitting in this city.
Several witnesses have been summoned
at the Instance of Mr.. Day, among them
being two or three reporters on Mime
apolIS papers and men connected with
lumber interests in Minneapolis. Among
these witnesses are:
A. j. Shadhem, ]. S. Taylor, Alex Mcneil
John Munson, r. Olson Kamp, Fl. A. Paine
+. Nelson j. Newton Mind W. T. Brooks E.
w. BackuS ana MinoW.
The lumbermen who have been be-
fore the grand jury have testified freely
as to all they know about the rise in the
price of lumber and the combine to ele-
vate the price, but say they know of
nothing wrong being done. Mr.. Day
has interviewed the United States dis
trict attorney several times on the mat
ter. and has been given full opportunity
to suggest the names of witnesses to be
summoned. The investigation is not
yet concluded. but it is very likely. ac-
cording to the statement of a well-in=
formed man. that more direct testimony
will have to be forthcoming if any in
dictment shall be found.

THE PAROLE SYSTEM
May Probably BE Adopted in Thi
State.

Secretary 81. II. Hart, of the board of
correction and charities. stated yester-
day that it was likely the governor
would, on the recommendation OF the
board of managers of the state prison,
adopt parole or conditional pardon
system, framed after the one now in
force in Ohio and other Eastern and
Middle states. The system. Mr.. Hart
says, has been successful wherever
tried, and he thinks will be very salts
factory, once it is in working order. The
system provides, among other things,
that before convict is allowed to go
out OH conditional pardon some per-
manent and bona fide employment must
be found for him; he must not change
his employment or residence without
first obtaining permission, and must at ali
times live sober and industrious life.
Mr.. Hart says it has been found that
the restraint thus placed on a convict
often tends to do more toward his refor-
nation than incarceration would. 1t
will, of course, require considerable
time to get the system in practical oper-
alton, but it will be done as soon as
possible.
