POEriCAL LAW.
The Lawyer Was Weak on Rhymes. But
He Got . Verdict.

The Lawyer Was Weak on Rhymes, But
He Got . Verdict.
An eccentric Irishman named Broone,
who lived in Queens county and owned
an estate valued at six hundred thou
sand dollars, made Mr.. Towns one Of
four heirs, and his share will be one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
says an old copy of the Troy Times.
About ten years ago an old man en-
tered his office and requested an inter-
view.
He stated that he had long been In
terested in reading of litigations, and
he had seen the name of Mr.. Towns in
the newspapers as lawyer who did not
take the law too seriously, so Broone
came to Mr.. Towns, and said he had de-
cided to give him the first case that he
was interested in, on condition that he
would sum up the case in rhyme.
The case was that of Mrs. Bridget
Rowan against John Bedell for dam
ages for being bitten by dog and
drenched with water from a hose. To
comply with Broone's request Mr..
Towns summed up the case as desired
After reciting how Bedell, who
- Keeps near the park OH sad to tell,
A low resort of vice and sin,
Where he dispenses rum and gin.
Yet. not content with deadly cups,
He keeps two wild, ferocious pups
To slay those who escape his lair
With deadly hydrophobi-air,
the poet went on to say that Beden,
Seeing she was but o woman,
Set his puppies on Mrs Rowan.
And as he saw her run with fright,
Trying to save herself by fight,
He shouted: "Bill, before she goes
Just play upon her with the hose "
Cursed. assaulted, all but drowned
Bleeding from tho puppies wound,
The plaintiff, gentleplen of the jury,
At last escaped this blackguard's fury
And comes In court to see II you
Will do as you'd have others do.
These atrocities, the Albany Law
journal says, resulted in a verdict o.
five hundred and seventy-five dollars
for his client. His patron was Sc
pleased that he gave him another case
in which he recovered ninety-five hun
dred and eighty-three dollars agains
the Long Island Railroad company OF
injuries to woman's knee. This cas-,
he summed up in rhyme, remarkint
among other things deserving death:
The fairest thing on earth to see
Is lovely woroans beauteous knee.

THE COMMITTEES II THE SENATE
how the Western Members Have Fare d
in the Reorganization.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 22.-Nothing
has been made public in regard TO com
mittee assignments, and Of course the
younger members of the senate will
have to take back seat. 1t is believed
Perkins of California will go to the APP
preparations committee; Squire and Nc
Bride to commerce; Dubois, chairman
of committee on public lands; Petit
grew. chairman committee on Indian
affairs Senator Wilson's assignments
will, as far as can be ascertained, be In
dian affairs, public lands, mines and
mining, with chairmanship of the com
mittee on Indian depredations. The
northwest could have had some one on
foreign affairs. but no one from west of
the Missouri made application for it,
strange as it may seem.
Carter will get the chairmanship OF
the committee on relations with Can
ada, and also a place on the interstate
commerce committee; Perkins the
Craftsmanship of fisheries. and Squire
the chairmanship Of fortifications. The
west has control Of Indian affairs and
public lands.
The membership of the committee on
appropriations will be increased from
nine to 10, also the committees on COM
merce. military and naval affairs and
possibly foreign relations.

ANOTHER COAL MINE HORROR
Forty.Thrcc Men the Victims OF Fire
Damp Explosion.

Raleigh, N c., Dec. bat o o'clock
this morning, after the day force num-
berlng 81 had gone on duty at the Cum
mick coal mines, a terrible fire-damp
explosion occurred with fatal effects.
Upon hearing the report the people of
the village FASTENED to the scene. Sew
eral miners were prevailed to venture
down and investigate. They brought
out 25 men. Five or six of them were
badly wounded and some will prob
ably die; others were slightly wounded
Two men We're killed in slope No. 2.
After considerable delay the searching
party entered slope No. /, where they
were greeted by a CHASTITY sight. Dead
men fearfully mutilated were found.
Some of them were partly covered with
pieces of col timber and other debris.
At o'cloq dozen miners went down
to bring up the dead bodies, but at last
accounts none of the dead had been re-
covered. 1t is believed 81 men were
killed. Several of them were negroes and
foreigners. and the rest are natives of
the state. Mothers. wives and sisters
were around the mines all day, weeping
and wringing their hands with grief.
Up to II o'clock tonight but "a of the 67
men who went down in the shaft have
returned The other 43 are supposed to
be dead, but the names of some of them
are unknown

TOOK our foR FALLING IcIoLES
One of the Dangers Resulting From Sky
~crupiuV ButldfuAs

Scrnrine Butdiugs.
Chicago, Dec. 21-The recent death of "A
prominent resident of Milwaukee from
injuries sustained by the falling of a
large icicle from a cornice of the public
library building, has served to call atten-
tion to a new source of danger to life
and limb, and one of moment to pedestr-
ans. In this city for days after the re-
cent heavy snow storms there were nu-
merous escapes from instant death by the
falling from high business and residence
buildings of Jumps OF frozen snow and
icicles, variously weighing from three to
eight pounds, while not a few people sus-
tanned contusions of the head face and
shoulders from the same cause.
When a heavy frost sets in Immediately
after snow storm the accumulations Of
snow are apt to freeze into a mass almost
as solid as stone, and this falling from cor
nices and window sills of buildings rang
ing from six to ten stories in height is
apt as was the case in Milwaukee, to
deal death or serious injury to the peaes-
trians beneath.
An ordinance has been prepared for in
PRODUCTION to the city council, compelling
the cleaning Of snow from dangerous COR
nices and sloping roofs after the storm
has ceased, but as a similar ordinance
concerning the sweeping of snow from
sidewalks is almost universally disregard
ed, it is not thought that any new law on
the subject would be obeyed.

PHILADELpHIA0 STRIKE
Street Car Employees Making a
Determined Fight.
The SITUATION is CRITICAL
Strikers Receiving Aid in the shape OF
Money and provisious-Imported
Men KICK.

Philadelphia, Dec. 22.-At a late hour
tonight the strike situation was appar-
entity unchanged, but the air was fun
Of all kinds of rumors. No attempt was
made to run cars, the authorities fear
ing violence from the strikers sympa-
thizers, who We're idle today. Many
conferences were held on both sides,
but no statements were given out.
The strikers had uniformed men in
all parts of the city soliciting subscrp-
tions from door to door. and il is said
the aggregate collections run into high
figures. What effort will be made to-
morrow in the way of running cars can
not be ascertained tonight, but an un-
easy feeling exists for what may result
If any are made.
AT the West Philadelphia station OF
the Market street line small army of
new men are confined. They were
brought here from Boston and other
New England cities to take the places
of strikers. Soon after their arrival
one man became dissatisfied and left.
TO the strikers he said that all the
men would leave but that they We're
practically prisoners. They claim they
were led to believe they were wanted
to open new trolley line here. and
upon learning the truth became dis
gusted and wanted to leave, but they
were not permitted. The Boston man
declared that he had to fight his way
through a crowd of traction employees
TO reach the door. The strikers say they
viii take legal action to secure the mems
release.
The executive committee of strikers
was in session all afternoon, and to-
night sent subcommittee of five en-
ployes to confer with General Manager
Beetem Attorney Stevenson instructed
them to use their best efforts to effect
a settlement tonight and if they failed
| to try and make arrangements for ar
| bitration tomorrow.
| Prominent clergymen of the city dis
cussed the strike from the pulpit today
and while deploring violence, were al
most unanimous in upholding the de-
mands of the men and condemning the
action of the company.
The strike leaders asserted tonight
that fully 20OO people had promised not
to ride on the cars Of the company and
had contributed to the funds solicited
today. Between $1,000 and $4,000 has
| been realized up to midnight and con-
| tributions were still coming in.
The conference with General Manager
| Beetem lasted four hours. Then the
| committee of employees returned 60
| headquarters and went into session
with the executive committee OF the
| Amalgamated Association and Fresi-
dent Mahon.

LORD SAL|SBURY'S S ERROR
English Opinion Fayors the Mon-
roe Doctrine.
SUPPORT OF The PREMIER
Great Britain Backs Him as Far as Her
Contention in Venezuela Is
Concerned.

London, Dec. 2l.--No excitement has
been manifested here in political circles
over the Venezuelan complications, al
though their effect has been felt on the
stock exchange. The cabinet ministers
are all enjoying the Christmas holidays
in the country and outside OF the news
papers there is nothing to indicate that
war is apprehended.
A striking fact is that without single
exception the whole country stands as
solidy behind the Marquis of Salisbury MS
the United States is understood to stand
soldily behind President Cleveland. But 1t
should be added that 1t has been remarked
in some quarters that the Marquis of
Salisbury might very well have omitted
the passage in his reply to the note of
Secretary Olney which has. been looked
up as questioning Olney's Interpretation
of the principles of the Monroe doctrine.
Public opinion here, in spite of any state
ments to the contrary, certainly supports
the general idea of the Monroe doctrine.
II is not the doctrine itself whicn is re-
sented, but the claim is made that 1t does
not apply to the Venezuelan dispute
This seems to be the whole of the Rrit-
ish contention. 1t Is confidently expected
that an amicable arrangement will be
arrived at which will avert further finan-
cial troubles, to say nothing of disas-
trous war between the two greatest Eng
disappearing nations of the earth.
Fears are expressed that the war scare

lection against American food imports.

to a grave warning toathe public not to be
frightened into supporting import duties

General Miles Points Out Our IIelpiess
Condition and Suggests Remedy.

Washington, Dec 2i.-General Miles
commanding the army, has given out a
statement by request in regard to the abil-
ity of the United States to defend herself
in case of war aa
He said: "lf war should break OUT at
the present time, all we have in the south
or in fact, anywhere else with a few ex-
ceptons, would be lot of obsolete guns
on rotten carriages. which would fall
over before they could be of any service
The country is in deplorable condition
for defense. There are only three mod
ern high-power guns in position in this
country. Two of these are at the entrance
TO New York harbor and the third is at
San Francisco.
If congress would make liberal appro-
priations, the coasts can be placed in con-
dition for defense in two years time,
The work would cost in the neighborhood
of $S00oo,oOo. 1t would take about a year
to manufacture the tools necessary for
the construction of guns and then another
year for the manufacture of the guns
themselves.
I'm regard to land forces. no difficulty
would be experienced in getting 100000
men in month The small army we
have would be in the nature of a nucleus
for other troops. What we need, however,
is not men but coast fortihcations. After
we get the fortlncations we could get
the men to operate the guns.
THE enemy could place his ships of our
coast and fire shells into our cities. This
would drive millions of people from Their
homes and cause untold distress. The
wealth of 300 years Is stored in Boston
