defense. moved for noA-suit This
motion was argued at length. for and
against. When the arguments were COM
pleted, Judge knowles said that noswith-
standing II were shown that the railroad
had been negligent the person injured
should exc, eiss due caution. On coming to
. railroad crossing II was the duty OF
person to look and soc IL there was train
coming, and to use his sense Of hearing.
II might be conceded that the railroad was
guilty Of negligence in not sounding tho
whistle and not ringing the bell within
eighty yards OF the station. Still the ques-
zion was raised az TO the eontributory neglect
Of The plaintiff. II Was In evidence for the
plaintiff that Lynch did sec the train and
stopped his horses but the real cause OF the
trouble was that when the engine was re-
vsrssd il made great noise and frightened
the animals who rushed In front OF
the train. Al this point the judge
said the engine was reversed because the
engineer thouRht the team was going to
pass over In front Of his train and he
wanted TO do what he could to prevent the
accident. The jodge said hs would not be
justified In finding the company liable. he
would have to instruct the jury TO find for
the plaintiff. Lawyer Mcdonnell. for the
ant. took an exception. The jury rem
dered = verdict for the company. as In

PEOPLE WILL steal.
Hotel Proprietors Cannot Explain Why
Guests Continue to Rob Them.
Vs,e York Herald

N6lg YORK heTdtd.
A well known hotel man said re-
Gently: I'm all my experience have
never been able to explain TO my entire
satisfaction why it is that so many bo-
tel guests consider the articles in their
rooms public property and persist in
carrying them away.
1.-THE losses to large hotel such as
the Grand Pacific, Of Chicago" he
added, run high in the thousands Of
dollars annually from such pilfering.
No article is too Insignificant to escape
the attention of the thieves, nor is
there anything in hotel bedroom ex-
cept, possibly, the bed, bureau and
waShstand that may not be carted
away.
"Kuives and forks, towels and bed
clothing, are. however, the articles
most frequently removed. Still, every
thing has to be watched, from the soap
in the dishes to the French clock in the
bridal chamber. can recall several in
stances of thefts of the last named ar
ticle, and as for rugs, there is scarcely
a hotel proprietor in the country who
would leave one Of any value in a room.
John Hoey was an exception to this
rule, however, but after the first season
or so that he ran the palatia Holly
wood at Long Branch he was compelled
to heve itemiZed lists drawn up OF the
articles contained In every sleeping
room and suite In the house. When
any guest departed an account Of the
contents of the room vacated was at
once taken and compared with the list,
and this was done only because ex-
perience showed it to be necessary.
II do not know how the thieves have
the face to use the marked articles"
said the man in conclusion, "but the
fact remains that thousands of articles
are taken annually, and believe that
an inspection Of the effects in the
home OF many a commercial traveller
would bring 10 light most curious as
sortment OF hotel stuff picked up here
and there in journeying over the coun-

There has been some increase in the
distribution OF products during the past
week, and the demand for manuiactur-
ed goods is distinctly larger so that bu-
siness has perceptibly improved at
many points. Yet the outgo OF gold
expected TO exceed $1,000, 600 this week
reduces treasury reserves. causes in
creased nervousness about the future
and renders men more reluctant to en-
gage in the new undertakings.
AT Cleveland trade fair, money easy
but collections slow. At Detroit there
is some complaint Of collections.
The iron and steel industry during
the past week has been facing record
breaking prices, though the demand
and the sales are large. BeSsemer pig
at Pittsburg has fallen to Sl5.25, and
other markets for pig are irregular
though sales are large. The business
10 finished products is very heavy but
for many kinds the prices are the low
est ever known.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number 295, as compared
with the totals of 332 last week. For
the corresponding week Of last year the
figures were 297.

a pedigree ass impressive as that Of MIR.
Harrity candidate for postmaster at Phil
adelphia; but up to this time or rather
until shortly after Mr. Cleveland parted
with Mr.. Childs' fawn-liSe beauty,
she neglected to produce a
pint Of milk or pound Of
butter. Hence for all practical purposes
that gift was valueless, and the benign
Mr. Childs was at discount at eXecu-
tive headquarters. Secretary Morton
made the farmer-like suggestion that in
order to secure d butter-producing record,
maternity in the bovine race was abso-
lutely necessary. II was too late. The
beautiful and chaste Jersey Of six years
ago was no longer possession Of the
President She had been disposed of at
private sale as no good for butter. The
inference is that if Editor Childs wants
to get near enough TO the administration
throne to knock out Editor Mcclure and
Editor Singerly he must present genuine
Jersey with an established butter-maklng
record TO the administration.
