in the Supreme Court to recover 5000

road, by a trainman employed by the
Company.
He alleges in his complaint that Nov.
Is, 1893. he bought a ticket at Rutland.

by way of Troy. When he arrived in
Troy he boarded a Central train and re-
tired in a sleeper. Early on the morning
OF the 26th he was awakened by the
brakeman and told that the train had
arrived at Poughkeepsie.
Adams replied, II am not going to
Poughkeepsie, but to New York City"
Then the conductor of the train came
in and said: Your ticket entitled you
to a ride from Troy to Poughkeepsie.

The lunatic strobe on until he reached
the gate which led into a field, on one
