WAIVER OF HIS RIGHT
IMPORTANT RULING by JUDGE
BAKER IN A DAMAGE CASE.
Accepting Money from the PennsyIvn-
MIA Company's Voluntary Relief
Funds Excludes Legal Action.

Yesterday Judge Baker overruled the de-
murrer OF Eugene Otis to the answer Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in A suit
for damages for personal injury. Otis was
injured while in the company's employ. and
sued for damages. claiming that IL was the
fault OF the company on account OF retain
ing a drunken employee. After the injury
Otis accepted $3.50 from the company's re-
lief fund. which the company, In its an
swer. claimed operated as a bar 70 action
for damages. In his opinion Judge Baker
says:
AS general proposition Il is unQues-
tionably true that a railroad company can
not relieve itself from the responsibility TO
an eppoiye for an injury resulting from its
own Negligence, by any contract entered
into for that purpose before the happening
OF the injury, and If the contract under
consideration is of that character IL must
be held to be invalid.
The plaintiff agreed that when an in
jury happened TO him he would then deter
mine whether he would accept the benefits
secured TO him by the contract or waive
them and retain his right OF action for
damages. He knew that IL he accepted the
benefits secured by the contract II would
operate TO release his right TO the other
remedy"

WHEAT
WEAKNESS CHANGED TO STRENGTH
ON GOOD BUYING LATER.
other Markets All Helped by Wheat,
Corn and Oats Advancing and
Provisions Making Gains.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3-The. markets were
generally higher to-day. Bull news was
predominant, and wheat, after opening
rather easy, soon strengthened and closed
KQssc higher than yesterday. Corn and
cats were helped by wheat, the latter gain
ing 1sGAc, while provisions show substan-
tial advances.
Wheat ruled fairly active, and, while
showing some tendency to weakness during
the early part Of the session, finally got
stronger and sold UP fully 11c. The indiffer-
ent cables and the continued uncertainty of
favorable solution of the financial prob
lens now before the country were the early
weak influences. But there was some good
buying by prominent houses and the cold
weather caused some fear for the growing
wheat in localities where it was not fully
protected by snow; but such areas, 1t is
said, are quite limited The receipts are
still running light everywhere, and the ex-
ports from the seaboard yesterday were
over 10000 bushels in wheat and flour, max
ing over 1SOU,UOO bushels so far this week,
and there were estimates OF a very con-
siderable decrease in the visible next week.
Cudany was an active and liberal buyer,
and the trade generally began to look with
more favor on the buying side. and as there
was not much selling pressure the price
gradually went up and held fairly we'll.
May sold cary at 5S?sc up to 6Sas45sc split,
off to 5S5sm5Sa4c split, then to oS1sqoSAc
split, and eased OH by noon to 5sc. The
market held steady during the last hour
at 59Q59lsc, closing firm at 59l4c
Corn was slow, steady and featureless.
There was light trade and the estimate
for tomorrow is light but the cod weather
is in favor of some increase. May sold all
day ct 273s02Sc, closing at Hssq2Sc split
Oats were very dull. The closing strength
of wheat caused a desire among few or
the shorts to go home even. That closed
the market up nrm at the best prices of the
day and at 5-16c advance for the May de-
livery. ~
The days run Of hogs was again dis
appointment to the bears, causing increased
disposition to cover their previous sales
The bulls were also more inclined to buy.
Both parties began bidding against each
other for the limited offerings. A lively ad-
vance resulted, and at the close pork was
left with a gain of 20c for January and l712c
for May. Lard stopped with gain or .ooc
and ribs .0I12c.
Estimates for tomorrow: Wheat, n cars;
corn. 255 cars; oats, 116 cars; hogs. l5.OOO
