JUDICIAL DECISIONS
Recently Rendered by Supreme Courts
Affecting Railways.


The Supreme Court of California
holds that a passenger is justified in
taking passage on a crowded excursion
train where defendant does not warn
persons not to do so; and, even though
such warning was given, he was not
affected by it if he did not hear it.
In New York it is ruled that where
carrier agreed to furnish passage part
Nv over its own line and partly over a
connecting line, and to secure berths
over the connecting line, it is liable foa
the failure of the connecting carrier TO
reserve berths, though a notice was
printed on the ticket that defendant
acted only as the agent, and was not re-
sponsible beyond its own line.
In Tennessee it Is said that the mere
fact that a car inspector goes on one
track i'm order to inspect cars passing
by on another-such track being an ap-
propriate place to inspect the Cars from
does not render him guilty of con-
tributory negligence so as to prevent
recovery in case he is injured through
the negligence Of an engineer running
a switch engine on the track on which
he is standing. though he knew tram
was likely to pass along such track.
In New York where railroad en-
ploye is injured in consequence of his
failure to signal a train to stop, as his
instructions required him to do, he Is
guilty Of contributory negligence.
In California. A negligently went be-
tween defendants railroad track and a
high platform in front Of moving fat
cars. The track and platform were
about three feet apart and she stood "A
the space between them while one or
more cars passed her, and was seen by
the brakeman. A box car, wider than
the fiat cars. was then attached, and
moved in the opposite direction until it
struck a. The Supreme Court holds
the railroad liable.

these six important schedules were less
by 1715 per cent. for the ten months
ending with April last Gneluding the
first eight months of the new tariff, than
the imports under the same schedules
during the corresponding ten months of
the Mckinley tariff, two years ago.
What do our Republican friends say
about the floods" in 1898? The flood"
of imported woolens were larger by 121a
per cent, the FLOOD" of imported ironand
steel was larger by At per cent, and ths
flood" Of silk goods was larger by %
per cent. in those days, when the Nc
Kinley tariff was inforce, than the i'm
ports have been under the "paralyzing"
new tariff.
Some of our Republican Oontempora-
les have been driven from this kind of
partisan argument to a new theory,
which is that the new tariff is very
much like the Mckinley tariff, after all.
This discloses an interesting difference
of opinion in the Republican ranks, and
we shall leave the inventors Of this
story to the tender mercies Of Mckinley
and his followers.
What we want to have them explain
now. as the New York Times puts it,
is how tariff which was so depressing
and paralyzing last winter and up to
about the middle Of March that it pre-
Guided any revival of trade and indus
try then, or so long as it should remain
in force, has so suddenly lost its de-
pressing and paralyzing character, and
by what mysterious power the depress-
ing influence Of the duties which are too
low is to be suspended during the next
two years.

PROSPERITY AND THE CALAMITY

The calamity organs are perspiring
these days over the revival Of business,
the increase Of wages. the activity Of an

OF other evidences Of returning pros

until they can mislead them no longer
as to the facts Of the return Of prosper

selves to the changed conditions which
they can no longer overlook, have been
very amusing.
A while ago. and as If by preconcert-
ed arrangement they admitted the re-
vivaI. the increases Of wages. and the
other evidences Of renewed and perma-
nent activity, and solemnly announced
that the change for the better was all
due to the election last fam and 90 q
popular expectation that the Republican
party would elect a President i'm 1896.
This has been their explanation from
that day. They admit that the present
tariff. so depressing and paralyzing in its
influence tarir which, they had said,

AN NTEREsTING PIONEER.

The following is an interesting sketch
Of Mr.. George w. Duty, of Boone coun-'
IT,: Mr.. Duty was born the fourth of
March, 1900, i'm Russell county, KY and
az about the age of n years came to
Logan county, this State, and settled
on Pigeon creek. in what is now MingO
county. He removed to Boone county
about twelve years ago. He is the
father Of fifteen children and does not
know how many grand children and
great grandchildren he has. Mr. Duty
can tell some interesting stories Of
pioneer life in West Virginia. He says
that be has killed as many as three
bears i'm one day. and in his life has
killed zoo. He has killed 1900 deer,
besides many hundred wild turkeys and
smaller game. He once had a bear
fight that lasted three days before he
succeeded i'm killing bruin. Mr.. Duty
is hale and hearty and is quite fond of
discussing politics. He never voted
other than the Democratic ticket in his
long life. The old gentleman relishes
q piece Of bacon three times a day and
bids fair to reach the century mark.

They Let Him OF.

In the former days of the southwest,
when there was Il bitter and bloody rival
ry between the budding town of jack
Valley and Level Plain, Is miles up the
river, there was Il man arrested for steal
ing horses, not exactly stealing either,
for under those circumstances the arrest
would hardly have been made. The evi-
denco was not at all conclusive. 1t was
SO weak that even in this section it was
thought only fair to give the man Il
chanCe. He was before the court, and the
judge was sounding him.
You say, said the judge, that you
never stole II hoss?'
Never in my life, jedge."
And you wouldn't do SIGH a thing?"
The prisoner hesitated a moment. He
was an entire stranger, and all they knew
of him was that he had been seen in Level
Plain, which Vas of course against him.
We'll, yer onner," he responded, that
depends"
This was Il poser.
Boys" exclaimed tho judge, "ain't
that evidence enough? &c and git the
rope"
A rush was made for the hemp, and the
prisoner began TO look scared.
Hold on, yer onner, - he yelled. Let
me explain that"
The judge succeeded in getting order
among those who had gone for the rope.
you've got n minute and a half to do
1t in, " said the judge politely.
Il said, yer onner," proceeded the pris-
oner, that it depended whether I'd steal
a boss er not, and it does. Now, ef | was
in that town of Level Plain and couldn't
git outen it no other way than by stealth
a boss to ride I'll be burned eff l wouldn't
steal the hoss.'
Then a great shout went up. The judge
came off the barrel he was benching on
and shook hands with the prisoner, and
they tool him out and gave him the best
entertainment the town afforded.-Dctroit

TEN YEARS r o NOW.
Eow the Plays VIII BE Written Up at
That Time.

The first production Of Bronson Pinny.
rows new drama, The Hand of Steel, ~
took place at Askell'S theater last night,
with a large audience in attendance. IN
terest in the production had been stimu,
lated by the announcement of an unrival-
ed cast, and it is not too much to say that
the events of the evening confirmed the
announcements beyond all expectation.
The role of the heroine fell into the
hands of Miss Grace Mayloye, whose repu-
tation rests upon her row with her hus-
band on Broadway one day last May. Miss
Maylcye, or Mrs. hampers, as her init
mate friends know her, made a pronounc-
ed hit with her audience, looking thor
Oughly like the woman who could weld
the horsewhip to some purpose. 1t is said
her cX-husband's injured right eye is now
getting worse, and last evening she wore
a new Worth gown in celebration of the
happy event.
A splendid foil to her impersonation
was afforded in the work Of Count Fras,
chctti, who enacted the hero, and whose
popularity has been enOrmOu ever since
he threw one of the maidservants down
stairs two years & after stealing her en-
gagelnent ring. His i~mpersonation gained
Immensely dramatic interest from the ru-
nor circulated just before the perform.
ance that he had been arrested two hours
previous for doing" a cab driver out of
his fare.
The minor roles were well sustained,
Miss Manteny-OTiole the soubrette, wear
ing the gown in which she was divorced
two weeks ago. III one hand she carried
the decree granted by the court. Ward
Waytleigh, the villain, made an instant
success, the public being quick to appre-
cinto his d~isfigured condition after his re
cent six round go" with Tubby Mulkers.
Three other pugilists appeared in minor
roles.
1t is due to Mrs. Montmorcncy dc Ora
via, however, to say that her work in The
role of the ingenue was the hit Of tho
evening. The programme bore the an
nouncemcnt that Mrs. de Gravia had just
completed her one hundred and twenty
seventh scandal and was thinking of en-
tering New York society. The art loving
public will earnestly hope that this griev
Gus loss will not be inflicted on the drama
and if the famous artist has any doubts
of her proper sphere on the stage they
must have been swept away by the tire
mendous ovation last evening. The an
dience went wild with enthusiasm, ant
when the Baron Branches, who sat in I
box, sent up to the stage q jewcled DO,
containing neatly engrosSod copies O
