Almon Richards, the Topeka man who
was hurt few years ago in the explos-

$500 for his injuries.
The case against the Santa Fe for dam

Richards $4,000 damages.
The attorneys for the company made
motion for new trial which was this
morning passed on by Judge Hazen, who
reduced the amount of the Judgment to
$4,000.
In deciding the case Judge Hazen
said: "That this man was badly hurt no
one denies, but he dad not lose any limbs
and although he was injured internally
at the time, he has fully recovered from
his injuries and the judgment rendered
by the jury was excessive. 1t was not

The southern Democrats are bitterly
opposing the confirmation of c. HI. J.
Taylor. the Wyandotte colored man who
has been nominated for recorder of deeds
of the District Of Columbia Taylor
formerly lived at Atlanta, Georgia. The
Evening Commercial of that city edited
by B. Z. Blackburn says:
.The members of the Democratic
party alb over the United States are dis
gusted with the disposition on the part
of the administration TO give some of the
best places under the government to
negroes, whose loyalty is measured by
the extent of the revenue. The president
has singled Taylor out for promotion at
the expense OF lifelong Democrats, many
OF whom have more ability. This is a
course that deserves positive condemna-
ton and absolute population. The Com
mercial does not like that kind of
Democracy. We hope that the senate
will lose no time in the rejection of Tay-
lor's appointment. Don't pigeon hole it,
but come out like Alglo-Saxon Democrats
and defeat his confirmation and that of
every other negro who may be selected
for this place. Force the president to
send in the name of a white Democrat or
let the Republican holdover remain in
office This i business; it is Democratic
business

An Unusual Scene in Which a Santa Fe
Conductor Figures.
With tears in his eyes and a heavy
pain at his heart Santa Fe Conductor
Donehue arrived in Kansas City one
morning last week in response to a tele-
gram announcing the death of his be
loved wife. SaGiy he boarded a cable
car that was to carry him to his Grape
clad door. Behind him sat sweet little
woman with a sympathetic face and
noticing his apparent grief she endeav-
ored to comfort him. Mr.. Donehue
turned to the stranger and the sorrow
left his face like flash She was his
wife, and the scene that followed broug hit
tears to the eyes of the hardened police
man across the car and produced several
feminine handkerchiefs; while the male
passengers became suddenly abashed
with the street scene and gazed absently
out of the windows.
1t appears that Mrs. Donehue had had
a sort of fainting spell or trance and had
been apparently dead for two hours.
Her mother at once sent the telegram re-
ferred to above, but forgot to contradict
it when the lady revived. Mr.. Donehue
is again on his run and his passengers
sometimes wonder why he is SO particu-
larly happy.
