Arwenty-8our Cont verdict.

a Twenty-fOur Cent Verdict
Yesterday morning the case of Mrs.
Martin L. Haines VS.. the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company was tried before JUS
tice Gibson.
On the 9th of March Mrs. Haines pur-
chased an excursion ticket from Vincen-
town to Philadelphia, for which she paid
SLIT. She went to the city and on her
return she left Philadelphia on the 43O
P. M. train. She offered the remaining
half of her ticket to the conductor, who
refused to accept it for a ride to Vincen-
town, on the ground that his train did
not connect at Mount Holly for Vincen-
town. He told her she must get off or
surrender the ticket. She did the latter,
paying her fare from Mount Holly to Vim
centown, the sum of twenty-four cents,
which she brought suit to have returned.
Martin L. Haines. husband of the plain
tiff, conducted the case on that side,
Martin V. Grey appearing for the railroad
company.
The witnesses for plaintiff were Mrs.
Halnes, Byron Grigg, conductor of the
Vincentown train, and James G. Johnson,
conductor of the the train from Philadel-
phia to Mount Holly.
Grigg told of Mrs. Haines riding on the
Vincentown branch.
johnson said be asked Mrs. Halnes for
her ticket soon after leaving Camden, and
when he received it he told her the train
she was on would not connect at Mount
Holly for Vincentown, and if she insisted
on going to the former place she must sur
render her ticket. This she did.
For the defence Clarence H. Polhemus
was the only witness. He is employed in
the Auditing department of the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad company, and part of his
dut les is to instruct conductors. Con-
ductor Johnson did exactly right when
he took up Mrs. Halnes' ticket. Placards
are posted in every railroad station in
forming the travelling public what the
railroads rules are respecting excursion
tickets.
'Is there any rule" asked Capt.
Haines, (which instructs or allows con-
ductor to confscate the property of other
people?"
Mr.. Grey objected to this question, but
finally allowed the witness to answer, and
Mr.. Polhemus said mo-.
Justice Gibson rendered decision in
favor of plaintiff for "a cents and costs.

1t was blown down and nobody has had

not much doubt that subscriptions to
cover the expense could easily be secured
outside.

ALL KINDS OF SPORTING.
Mulverhill and Peppers Are Matched.
The Lovers of Fancy Dogs Dis
cuss Bench Shows.

| The Colma Athletic Club matched Mar
| tin Mulverhill against Henry Peppers
| (colored) last evening for a ten-round con-
| test, to precede the event of the evening at
its next entertainment. The feature of the
/ evenings sport will be a finish fight be-
tween Mahoney and Anthony of Australia,
and as the boxers are said to be first-class
opponents OF boxing, an exciting contest is
promised.
The ST. Bernard dog is the dog &cog-
nized by all classes of society as the most
aristocratic specimen of the canine race,
and, as a result. the members of the st.
Bernard Club believe, and justly, too, that
they should receive particular recognition
from the Pacific Kennel Club. The many
lovers of fox terriers are in sympathy with
the st. Bernard men, and although their
opinions are, SO to speak, within them
selves, it is said that the St. Bernard Club
and the Fox Terrier Club will have much
to say in the management of affairs of the
next show, which, it is presumed, will be
given under the auspices of the Pacific
Kennel Club of this City.
J. G. Barker, who is president of the st.
Bernard Club, Thomas Watson, a promi-
nent member of the Pacific Kennel Club,
and few other gentlemen interested in
dogs, held an informal meeting last even
ing at prominent sporting resort on
Kearny street, and the Pacific Kennel
Clubs representative acknowledged that
the admirers of the st. Bernard had much
to say in the future success of bench
shows held in this City. Although
tt will be many months before
another bench show will be held it is only
reasonable to presume, Judging from the
present outlook, that the admirers of the
st. Bernard and Fox Terrier clubs will be
very material acquisition to the success
of any bench show on the Pacific Coast.
The Pacific Kennel Club is, however, in
need of an infusion of new blood, as the
old members have grown rusty and forget
that something more interesting than the
ordinary dog show is now necessary to at
tract public attention. Probably cat or
pigeon show will be feature annexed to
the next exhibition of the Kennel Club.

the Western Union and Postal Telegraph
Company can transmit full reports of the
convention proceedings.
None of the objections urged against San
Francisco, excepting perhaps the distance,
should in the slightest degree influence the
committee, and there is a strong sentiment
all over the country that time spent in
crossing the continent and viewing the
magnitude of the United States west of the
Missouri River would not be wasted.
San Francisco possesses many delightful
advantages for a convention. The tenn
perature of summer weather is agreeable.
The atmosphere is tempered with breezes
from the ocean, which impart vigor and
animation to the tourist. There will be no
sweltering hot days and oppressive nights
to endure. The interior conveniences of
travel in San Francisco are excellent. Gable
and electric cars carry passengers speedily
from the resident quarters of the City to
the center of business. Last, but not least,
San Francisco is one of the great cities Of
the world and should be visited by every
American who can get the time and money
to travel

Two special trains left the foot of Market

o'clock, respectively. Each carried twelve
cars and both were crowded to the doors.
A third train transported the contingents

The trains from this city moved slowly

Glenwood was reached. Then the crowd

to the arguments of Prosecuting Attorney
Forbes and Attorney Ferral for the defendan
in the case against her OF performing a crimi-
nal operation upon Lizzie Hustled and then
rendered his decision. He said that no jury
would convict the defendant, as there was no
corroborative testimony OF the girls story,
who legally was an accomplice, and he would
therefore dismiss the case.

came very close to getting the Republican
convention once. This time we may get it.
The only thing We have to contend against
is distance. / had long talk with Steve
B. Elkins few days ago and he said that
the long travel would be the chief obiec-
ton to San Francisco. In the coming con-
test St. Louis will be our leading rival.
This time Chicago is not going to the
front. The impression is widespread that
Chicago has had consideration enough"
eff we get one National Convention, i"
said Manager Thorn, "we will get both.
This will follow in the natural logic of
politics. We will have no trouble what
ever in finding good accommodation for
all who can come. l will state this now :
l will give to the San Francisco promoters
of the convention enterprise apartments
free for committee on rooms. A COM
mittee can find rooms for 5000 visitors and
messenger can be sent out to show each
conner the room assigned to him.
F.O. Stanton of the Baldwin knows the
hotel business well and is familiar with the
capacity of San Francisco inns. He is
positive that the leading hotels on Market
and Montgomery streets would be able to
take care of nearly all the delegates and
spectators of National Convention in this
City. The Palace could take 1000 guests
without inconvenience, and the Baldwin
800 more. The Occidental, California,
Grand, Lick and Russ could provide ac-
commodations for many others. "These
hotels, together with the boarding-houses
OF high class, could shelter 5000 visitors
Yet if 1000 should come, nearly every one
would call that number great crowd"

QUIT WORK.
The Dog Catcher on a
Strike.
And the Dogs of Cape Girardeau are
Howling for Joy.

HOWI1nS LOT Joy.
Dolly Hopper, the Cape Girardeau
dog catcher. has struck for higher
and more certain wages.
At the last meeting of the City COun-
ell a bill for distributing five hundred
dog tax notices was presented for four
dollars and fifty cents. The Council
thought the bill Il little too steep and
the bill was referred to that good
christian combination known as the
Committee of Propositions and Griev-
ances. the committee that has to at
tend to dogs. baudy houses, and other
dirty work. The gentlemen who COM
pose this committee. will. of course
report unfaverable on the dog catch
er's bill. They can't do otherwise.
The dogcatcherhas not caught enough
dogs out of the twenty thousand worth
less curs in this city to pay for print
ing and distributing the bills notify,
ing dog owners to pay up. The dog
catcher knows the committee. He
knows that there are two Republicans
on the committee. He knows that
Republicans are for retrenchment and
reform and he knows that they will
not allow his little dog bill to slip
through the Council without their
earnest, honest protest. He sees the
hand writing on the wall. He knows
that his name is Dennis SO far as his
bill for distributing dog bills is con
cerned. and he has struck for higher
wages. He wants a permanent job,
but he wants no more dog catching
for a City Council that refuses to al
low Il little bill for dog notices, but
takes under consideration a bill Of
some doctors who want to skin the
city.
Dolly Hopper is nc longer city dog
catcher. Now let the city marshal
call out the police force. and if nee
essary let him deputize the ex-mayOr
and eX-councilmen who passed the
dog ordinance to help suppress the
dogs of this town. The dog ordinance
is a law and it should be upheld.

An Actress Tears.

There never was an actress who
could command her lachrymal glands
as Adelaine Nelson could. Several
of her leading men found out her pc
culiar faculty to their cost. One OF
them WAS Jack Barnes. At the
time the English actor was young and
slender and rather fancied himself in
such parts as Romeo, going to con-
siderable expense in dressing. For
Romeo he had some lovely costumes,
all silk. satin and laces. \ delicate
pale blue jacket was his favOrite in
one of the scenes between Romeo and
Juliet. but he was awfully sorry he
had it before the season was over.
After a few performances Barnes no.
tIced that the beautiful pale blue silk
on the front of the jacket was stained
in some way. There were long streaks
in it. which he could not account for.
That night Miss Nelson and he were
in one of their pathetic love scenes.
Her head rested on his breast. She
looked up, turned her face to the au-
dance a moment, which at once burst
into most tumultuOus applause.
When she turned her face toward
Barnes again he saw the tears stream
ing down her cheeks. He glanced at
his costume and saw the cause of the
stains. There were several fresh wet
streaks on the handsome pale blue silk
made by Juliet's tears. Barnes tried
to hold her head away from him, but
the costume had to be sacrificed to
art. and when the season was over his
costume was a striped instead of a
plain blue silk. the change having
been caused by Juliet's too realistic
weeps.-Footlights.
