A BENZINE CAB.
One Solution of the Problem Of Rapid
Transit on Country Roads.

One Solution of the Problem Of Rapid
Transit on Country Roads.
The benzine cab is, according TO the
New York Sun, the most novel means
of transportation in Germany. 1t is a
four-wheeler, guided by touch of the
finger on a lever, and provided with
motive power by a benzine engine
which neither heats nor smokes the
occupants.
The first Of this style of cab was re-
Gently completed in a Mannheim fac
tory, and was started on an exhibition
trip to Berlin. 1t rolled over the coun-
try roads at the rate of fifteen or six
teen miles an hour, and at an expense
Of half a cents worth of benzine per
mile. In every city on his route the
conductor, who is at the same time en-
gineer, has run his cab through the
streets taken on and let off curious
passengers, and made his way across
market places to show the ease and
safety with which the machinery can
be managed.
The cost of the cab is but one thou
sand dollars. and this can be reduced
in the process of wholesale manufac-
ture to four hundred and fifty or FIVE
hundred dollars. The inventor expects
that it will revolutionize the present
system of transportation between coun-
try towns and between cities and their
suburbs

A Toad's Cunnlne.

A naturalist paper relates an inter
esting instance of a toad's cunning. A
brood Of chickens was fed with moist
ened meal i'm eaucers, and when the
dough soured little it attracted large
numbers of fines. An observant toad
bad evidently noticed this, and every
day toward evening he would make his
appearance In the yard, hop to a sau-
Ger. climb in and roll over and over un-
I'll be was covered with meal, having
done which he awaited developments.
The dies, enticed by the smell, soon
swarmed around the scheming batrach-
ian, and whenever one passed within
two inches or so of his nose his tongue
larted out and the Ay disappeared.
This plan worked SO wen that the toad
made regular business Of it.

LET HIM SPEAK

The New York Press wants Presi-
dent Cleveland to speak. 1t says
from various parts ofthe country news
continues to come in of manufacturing
industries shutting down on account
of the general and justi6able dread of
legislation by the Democratic Presi-
dent and Congress hostile to Ameri-
can labor. The latest important an.
nouncement of this character is that
the Amoskeag Cotton Mills, at Man
chester, New Hampshire, employing
eight thousand operatives, who pro.
badly represent not less than twenty
thousand persons dependent upon the
mills for support, are about to shut
down, by a vote of the directors, for
the month of August. This is, we be-
lieve, the first time that there has been
such shutdown in the history of the
Amoskeag corporation. From WOon.
socket, Rhode Island, comes the news
that the Slater Wooden Mills, Webster,
Massachusetts, are about to close down
the entire plant, employing about
eight hundred hands, until further
notice. And these are but instances
added to many going to show the
dread and apprehension which
prevail as the established in
terests of the country come nearer the
destructive power of Democratic legis-
latiOn.
Why does not Grover Cleveland, as
President of the United States, restore
these thousands of people to their
means of support by declaring that
American industry is not to be assailed,
that the tariff for the protection Of the
American workingman will be main
tslned, and that American labor will
not be exposed to the low wage com.
petition of Europe? Such a declars-
tion would restore confidence, reassure
manufacturers and merchants and re-
move that dark cloud of uncertainty
that has hung over business interests
everywhere since the n day Of last
November.
Let Grover Cleveland give the assur-
ance that there is to be a halt in
the attack on American industries,
that the tariff is not to be assailed, and |
that the policy Of protection is to be
maintained, and The Press deliber- |
stely asserts, with full knowledge o.
conditions, that within one
week after Mr.. Cleveland has spoken

INSANE ASYLUM AND BANK.

Decision Reversed IN Old Suit Growing
Out of tie Gapen Transactions.
The Superior Court, in general term. yes
terday reversed the case of Zachariah
Houser. treasurer Of the board of trustees
of the Central Hospital for the Insane.
against the Meridian National Bank The
suit was originally brought by Phil Gspen.
when he was treasurer of the board, to re-
cover 81, 043. 66 which. it was alleged. the
bank held without right ana refused to pay
upon the check of the treasurer of the board.
Gapen had given checks TO persons having
claims against the board for services and
material, the checks agKregating the
amount on deposit 70 the credit of the
treasurer. The bank refused to pay the
checks when they were presented, and
Ga pen, In person, presen ted q check for the
whole amount. and payment was again re-
fused. He sued the bank. but before the
treasurer OF the board, and was
substituted as plaintiff in the ao-
ton against the bank by the agree
ment Of the parties. The case was orig
moved by agreement to Room !. after the
substitution of Houser as plaintiff. After
the removal the bank claimed the right to
plead anew. and demurIed to each para
graph OF the complaint and amended and
substituted complaints. on the grounds
that the plaintiff had no legal capacity to
sue and for want of sufficient facts. Each
of the demuIrers was sustained, and
the plaintiff refused TO plead fur
Their, and appealed to the general term.
The first paragraph of the complaint al
legged the facts as above given; the second
was the same as the first. with an addi-
tional allegation of assignment of the cause
of action by Gapen TO Houser. The opinion
of the court IN general term is based upon
the statute of 1881. authorizing the trustee
of al express trust to sue without Joining
as party plaintiff the beneficiary. The
court holds that under this statute Gapen
had q right to sue as treasurer of the
board without joining as parties
the persons to whom checks had
been given and payment of which had
been refused. The treasurer Is required to
give bond to the State for the faithful per-
Torrance of his duties and the payment of
claims against the board of trustees, and
the State has no right to sue for the money
deposited by the treasurer, but has it's re-
course against his bondsmen in case of suit
by the individuals for the money due them.
There is no cOntractual relation existing
between the State as such and the board,
and the State is not the successor of Gspen
as treasurer of tho board.
The case was reversed. with instructions
to the trial court to override the demurrers
and an appeal was prayed and granted.
