Colonel Robert Ingersoll was

volved the manufacture of ardent
spirits, and in his speech to the jury
he used the following language:

A Word to Travellers.
DON'T SETTLE DAMAGE CASES WITH
RAILROADS BEFORE CONSULT
ING A LAWYER.

People who have the misfortune
to be injured in railroad accidents
should offer to treat with the
company regarding damages or affix
their signatures to papers until they
have had time to recover from the
shock, and until they have consulted
a competent and trustworthy law
yer, says the New York Tribune.
Railroad companies employ large
staff of able lawyers and physici-
clans who work in the interests of
their employers, and the man whose
nerves are shaken and who is suffer-
ing bodily pain is not fit to cope
with them when it cSmes to ques-
tion of settling damages. A case In
point.
A few years age a New Yorker
boarded "A sleeping-car in one of the
big Eastern cities, bound for the
West. About two O'Clock in the
morning the sleeping-ca car left the
track on the side of mountain,
pitched over the embankment, and
landed in river far below the track.
The passengers--fortu they
were all men-were thrown vio-
lently from their berths, and were
then hurled about the car as it was
rolled over and over i'm its descent.
The car came to a standstill bottom
side up in six feet of water. The
passengers managed to climb to the
roof Of the overturned car, where
they sat, wounded, wet, and shiver-
ing with cold, until daylight, when
they were rescued.
"After the terrible sensation of
going down the embankment in the
car" said the New Yorker, telling
the story in DelmOnico's the other
evening, ave all kept a dead ST.
lence for several minutes. Then
could hear the splashing of the pas
sengers in the car. 1t was black as
pitch in there, and every one seemed
too stunned to speak. In endeavor-
ing to keep my head above the wa
ter | came in contact with man.
Are you badly hurt ?" 1 asked.
Il don't know he answered
How are you?'
Il don't KNOW 1 replied. We
must try to get out of here. think
the water is rising.'
The car was overturned, you know,
and that put the windows up above
our reach. OF course the glass had
been shattered, and as we climbed up
l could feel the cold air coming
through the openings. 1t seemed
very good, can tell you. The man
who was with me caught hold first
and drew himself through the win
dow, crawling out and perching on
the top lit was really the bottom) OF
the car. Then, after various at
tempts, 1 followed him. Our car
was so far out in the river, and the
embankment was 80 high and steep,
that those who had escaped going
