OBITUARY.

Departed this life on April 5, 1894, after
a long and painful illness, RUTH, beloved
wife Charles Pomeroy, in the 35th year OF
her age.
She was a devoted mother and true
member of the Holy Roman Catholic
Church. Every attention was given her
In her last sickness. We extend TO her sor-
rowing family our heartfelt sympathies in
their bereavement, particularly TO tie
daughter. who watched over her until the
last with such faithful and tender devotion
Gently above thy loving breast
Thy hands are folded in peaceful rest
An angel came with outstfetched hands
And thou hast joined that beautiful band.
Calm on the bosom Of thy God,
Dear spirit rest thee now;
Even while in life thy footsteps trod,
Deaths seal was on thy brow.

A tIibute to Mrs. RUTH V. POMEROY,
who departed this lie on Thursday, the
9Th instant, aged 35 years. May she re ( in
peace
Many times have we sadly stood by the
grave Of dear and valued friend, but sell
dom has it fallen TO our lot 10 lay thereon
the tribute of our greater affection and love.
There IL nothing that so warns and ele-
Yates the human heart as that noble senti-
ment and impulse which prompts tie liv-
ing to honor the memory of the good and
virtuous dead. ana it is therefore right and
proper that when one so good, 50 generous,
so kind shall have finished her earthly la
bors and passed from time to eternity, that
we should pause for a time land call her
virtues back" Her genial face, once so
familiar TO Us all, her cheerful spirits and
kind words, her deep solicitude for the
sick, her great charity, ali combined to
make her universally respected. admired
and loved
Such "a lady as our lamented friend could
not fail 10 pass through life without many
firm friends, as was attested by the large
conc0uTse OF neighbors who followed her
remains to the last resting place There
was 50 much geniality in her nature, so
much frankneSs and candor, so little of guile
and duplicity, so much personal magne
tism that all with whom she came in con
tact found themselves attracted and bound
10 her by a friendship deep as death and
strong as life
She was, indeed, true Christian, always
surmouuting, if possible, every obstacle 10
be present where Gods presence glowed. :"
To her children, who survive her, we can
truly say, because We know that no chill
dren ever knelt in unavailing grief beside
the coffiped form of better and more de-
voted mother, grieve not, for your loss is
her eternal gain.

Captain Mcdonald of the Texas RAN

of his men with their horses came in
on special train from Amarillo yes
terday afternoon. The men left imme-
diately for Gordon, where the train
robbery occurred Friday, and Captain
Mcdonald left to join last night. The
captain of the Rangers thinks 1t Is
probable that the robbers are lurking
among the almost inaccessible for
trcsses of the mountains OF Palo Pinto
county, or in the vicinity. and says
there is a good chance for their cap
ture. His men are very familiar with
that country, and Captain Mcdonald
said that he had already had a large
experience man-hunting In that region.
The country where the robbery took
place Is described as fun of mountain

upheaval of nature years ago. and In
country peculiarly well adapted for
the commission OF such desperate deeds
as well as to enable the perpetrators to

NEW POINT DECIDED.


Cincinnati, Ohio. oct. 19.-The cir
cult court has just passed upon case
so novel. that no authorities could be
found bearing directly upon IT, The
title was william scotsman VS.. the
Lake Shore. II was a personal Injury
damage suit but not Of the ordinary
character. The plaintiff was one Of
a party OF odd Fellows who came
to Toledo upon special train from
Bryan, a few years ago when the
odd Fellows temple was dedicated.
on the return trip, and when the train
was about ten miles out OF Toledo, one
of the members OF the organization
named Shawley. was taken III. His
suffering was so great, that 1t was
found necessary to remove him to
the caboose attached to the train, not
for the accommodation OF passengers
but for the crew scotsman In the
original suit asserted that he was In
vited by the conductor to assist In re-
moving Shawley to this caboose.
From the rear passenger train 70 the
caboose there was drop OF from ten
TO twelve inches. Of which the passen-
gers knew nothing. Just as the dan
ger point was reached. and the sick
man was about TO be borne into the
caboose. scotsman was warned by
shout from the brakeman Of the differ
ence In height between the two cars
The warning came TO late, he fell and
was badly Injured. The main question
in the case WAS the responsibility Of
the railroad company for the care OF
its passengers. Every authority avail
able on this point was looked up care
fully by the court. and several were
quoted this morning. The court did
not attempt 10 lay down any general
rule in the premises. Judge Scrlbner
explaining that the case could not be
finally decided except by the supreme
court there being no authorities In
similar cases The principles were
such. he said, tina; they should be de-
cided By the higher court. The judg-
ment OF the lower court WAS affirmed.
The $1,000 verdict In Jas. II. Winslow
VS.. the Lake Shore will stand. the
Judgment Of the lower court having
been affirmed by the circuit cour;
this morning. The chiefest point in
this case was the right OF an employe
TO accept as guarantee OF future
freedom the risk. the promise OF an
official not In authority, that certain
dangers would be removed. Wlnsiow
