The Price Baking Powder Company of
Chicago, which is known throughout the
country for the superior excellence of its
Baking Powder, met with serious loss on
the morning of May 18th, in the nearly
total destruction by fire of its factory and
offices. No sooner had the flames been sub
dued than the work of restoration commence
ed, and the Company by prudent foresight,
having had stored in outside warehouses
duplicate machinery, labels and supplies of
raw materials in preparation for any emer-
gency was enabled by energetic management
to resume manufacturing within very few
days after the fire, thereby causing its Gus
toners but trifing delay in the filling of
their orders. Had the Company not been
so prepared the delay would required
months of time to get new machinery.
A Washington. d. c., jury has just
awarded damages against the Baltimore IL
Potomac Railroad Co.. on very novel plea.
If the decision stands, it will give a world
of trouble to the railroads. The plaintiff
alleges that his health was damaged by
the noise made by the defendants
trains, which passed his house, and
that he had not had good nights
sleep for months. He also said that the
noxious smells caused by the company were
intolerable to him. The defendants at
torney thought that young man ought to
get used to these things in time, but
plaintiffs lawyer said that his client GER
tainly had right to his comforts at home,
even if he were young. The jury thought
so, too, and gave verdict of $500 for the
plaintiff. If one can recover damages from
railroad for making noise, there are
thousands of people who have agood case
against them-Michgan Tradesman.
