Mr.. Vest, with the message in his

THE SILVERLOCKS AGAIN.
Shocking Treatment Of Their Fifteen
Year-0ld-
Special Officer Healy on the Trail of
Other Infamous Char
acters.

Mrs. Silverlock who recently served a
term in the Couty Jail, her daughter
Maude and her particular friend, Mrs.
Coachman, are in the City Prison with
a charge of vagrancy hanging over
them. They were arrested by Officers
Fisher and Naghel.
The Silverlock family have during
the past few months become noted in
the neighborhood in which they reside,
and the solitudes of Paradise alley"
bounded by Fifth and Sixth, P and @
streets, have frequently resounded with
their drunken revels.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. James Silverlock
have been reported to the authorities
time and again, and the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children in
terested itself in the welfare of the
four Silverlock children. But the eldest
child, Maude, who is about 13 years of
age, is, owing to her surrounding as
sociations, said to have been going the
downward road or some time, and her
arrest is said to have been for the pur-
pose Of getting the existing condition
of things properly before the Superior
Court, with view to having the child
sent to reformatory.
The police look upon Mrs. Silverlock
as being the cause of all the trouble.
She is alleged in the complaint to be
drunken and depraved. and those con-
versant with the facts in the case say
she has taught the little girl, Maude,
to follow in her footsteps.
Mrs Coachman, the bosom friend of
Mrs. Silverlock, Is said to be piece off
of the same cloth, and the officers who
interested themselves in the matter be-
lieve the interests of society would be
best preserved by giving both the
women the Imit-six months in the
County Jail, and sending the girl to a
reformatory.
The cases were set for trial for this
morning, each Of the trio having en-
tered pleas Of not guilty.
Officer Dan Healy Of the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Children,
is the complainant and he is deter
mined on breaking UP the foul nest the
Silverlocks have maintained The girl,
who Is delicate creature for one of
IS years. will, if Mr.. Healy can accom-
plish his purpose, be committed to the
Whittier School.
This mere child has been the victim
OF the lust Of a gang Of loafers who
make the Silverlock hovel their head
quarters, but a stop will now be put
to 1t.
Healy has discovered another case on
which he is working, and If the infor-
nation he has so far received should
be verified he will spring a trap that
may send more than one person to the
penitentiary.

Damages for personal injury. Reversed
Tn masters liability for the negli-
gence of his servant rests upon the
right to select the servant, and to con-
troll his work: but when this selection
and control rests in another, he Is freed
from such liability. The same princi-
pies govern the liability Of contractor
for an injury resulting from the use OF
defective materials In his work. He can
be held liable only when he has the
right of selecting the materials
Where the negligence is an act which
the master must personally perform, the
person to whom he delegates it's per-
formance is his agent, and the master
Is responsible for the negligence. If, on
the other hand, it is an act which NAV
be delegated to another, or may be per-
formed by an employe, the person by
whom it is performed is a fellow-ser-
want, irrespective Of his rank, and the
master is not responsible for his neg
Hgence in its performance. Whether
one acts as a fellow-servant or a rep
resentative Of the master is a question

The people of the city have but a few
days now in which to make up their
minds how they will vote upon the
new drainage sewer proposed for S
street, with pumping plant to free the
city from water the coming winter. The
"Record-Union," the early consistent
friend of complete, comprehensive
sewerage system and the total aboli-
tion of the poisonous cesspools, finds in
this drainage proposition nothing that
conflicts with it. 1t is, indeed, a sep
arate and distinct thing, but can be
easily brought into the permanent
drainage system of the city without at
all affecting the future sewerage that
must be laid according to the separate
system plan, the one that all advanced
sanitarians now agree is the superior
of all others and that should be adopted
wherever conditions will permit. If it
is objected that the proposed drainway
is to be of brick, and that brick sewers
are not now approved, it should be re-
called that the fact is that the casing
and superstructure are to be of brick,
but the carrying conduit, supported in
cement and brick, is called for to be Of
split iron-stone pipe. The vitrified sur
face Of such pipes make them the very
best Of carriers Of fluids.
