suited in the deaths of Thomas f. Cooper and
Georgia Granite. was finished last night at II
o'clock In the Kings County Courthouse. and the

following verdicts:
We find that Thomas F. Cooper came to his
death November 49, 1885. by shock. due 10 in
juries received in collision between cars on the
New-York and Brooklyn Bridge Railroad and In
our opinion the safeguards used 10 protect life by
the Bridge management In foggy weather are en-
TREY inadequate We consider three hagmen In
sufficient TO handle the immense traffic on the cars
in such weather.
We find that George Granite came TO his death
November 49, 1885, by shock. due to injuries re-
ceived IN the collision between cars on the New
York and Rrookyn Bridge Railroad, said collision
being caused by the neglect OF the Bridge au-
thorties in not having proper safeguards for the
running OF trains on the railroad during foggy
weather.
The character OF the testimony was similar 10
that taken before. Cooper shown 10 be mani
testify negligent in not going back to flag the in
coming train, which caused the collision. The
Jury in the OF Granite was out about fifteen
minutes, and the other about half an hour.

ENGL.4ND'S ATTITUDE.

1t is not we'll to become excited
about the alleged possibility of war
between the United States and Eng
land over the Venezuelan matter. The
note of the Marquis of Salisbury in
answer to Secretary Olney's dispatch
of several months ago is a refusal to
arbitrate the boundary question, to be
sure; but it does not carry with it any
intimation or suggestion that this po-
sition will be maintained regardless
of consequences. There is nothing Of
fensive in such proceeding; and it is
not all likely that there is any hostile
intention behind it. On the contrary
there is a manifest desire to discuss
the question and an evident purpose
to rely upon diplomatic strategy for
the adjustment Of the case, SO far as
our country is concerned. This is
characteristic of England when deal
ing with nation of equal strength. In
a controversy with thus involves the
danger of being called to account by
a formidable adversary, she is always
disposed to play an amicable part and
to be very careful of speech, however
persistent and voluminous. We have
had sufficient evidence of this in our
own experience with her to Justify the
conclusion that in the present instance
she will not take any chance OF pro-
voking a war, even if she should find
it necessary to make complete sur
render Of her claim in order to avert
that calamity Democrat.
