A NARROW EscARE.-Charles Brana-
der, of Washington, was crossing the
railroad tracks in Jackson City near the
south end of the Long Bridge yester-
day evening when north-bound train
came along. The engine struck him,
lifting him nigh in the air and dashing
him with terrific force to the road beside
the rails. He was picked up and taken
to the Emergency hospital in Washing
ton, and later taken TO his home. His
shoulder blade was fractured and he
was considerably bruised.

FINED TEN DoLLARs.-A colored in
diyidual named William Minor was be-
fore the Mayor this morning charged
with acting as his own scavenger. He
lives on north Henry street and he
with many others in the neighborhood
had been ordered by the police to have
his clubhouse cleaned. Instead of en-
ploying the scavenger he removed the
nuisance himself. He was fined $40,
and the Mayor in doing SO remarked
that people had had about all the warn
ing they would receive in such cases, as
the law had been read in the Police
Court for the information of all con-
cetned and its substance published. 1t
is believed that the gulley at Colross
has been used SIS a receptacle by parties
who wish to egade the law.

IN his second reply. Judge Thomas gays:
enclose you a copy OF a ietter sent
to-day TO an editor. In further answer 10
your letter, will say that the method OF
buslncss adopted by the Publishers Col
lection Agency ~ utterly indefensibie.
Printed on the face OF dunnlng letters are
these so-called newspaper laws, which,
Of course. you. as n lawyer. know have
no existence as laws or decisions OF the
courts. While Il Is true that these So
called laws are not referred to in the
body OF the letters. yet they are printed
In connection Herewith, with an object
which, rs you say. ~ apparent ! have
held, as you will see from the enclosed
letter, that a publisher OF newspaper
may be guilty Of an attempt TO obtain
money under false pretences when he
makes demand for the subscription price
Of his paper which he knows Is not le-
galiy due. accompanied by a threat TO
enforce these so-caiied Laws In case or
refusal 10 pay: and X that be 80, how
much more culpable will be an agency

this In order 10 enforce collections? There
might be some excuse for publishers who

laws. but there can be none for collec-
ton agency which. presumably, has at
al times legal adviser.
ut Is apparent that these laws are
printed on the face OF the letters the
agency sends out In order TO scare the
parties dunned into making prompt re-
nlttances. In the second dun sent out
there is some significant language. II IL
stated that II the claim Is not PAID

opposite this statement, In the margin,

cording 70 which he may be arrested ana
punished II he falls TO respond with the
money. whether he legally owes It or NOT.

tious wording OF the dunning letters that
the writer was conscious the so-called
laws had no existence as laws. for he
scrupulously refrains from referring 10

lines. There are few lines that nave not

Crescent declines TO sign the contract
because the Louisville and Nashville VIII
not consent to put In all OF its mileage
The red-hot rivalry between these Two

action is taken in the matter or signing.
These are the only two lines that seem
To give any undue alarm, though the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St Louis, by
likewise refusing to sign, may cause some
OF its rivals TO hold back also.
with these differences prevailing, the
