PECULIAR DAMAGE SUIT.
Suit OF an n. p. EmpIoye Against G.
N. Road.


The suit of Robert Morris to rec over
from the Great Northern Railway COM
pany damages for personaEinjuries al
legged to have been sustained in conse-
quence Of an accident on the road in
Montana in the spring of 1S93 is on
trial before Judge Egan and a jury.
Norris is a colored man, who was en-
ployed on a. Northern Pacific private
car that was being hauled over the
Great Northern in consequence of some
damage to the Northern Pacific track
at that time. While passing through
Montana the Great Northern track
spread causing the car to be derailed
and roll down into river or body of
water of some kind, whereby Morris
was seriously injured
The Great Northern pleads that the
car was being transported over its
track as a matter of accommodation
without any consideratio being paid
therefor, and that therefore no liabil-
ity can attach to the defendant COM
pany for any damage sustained. 1t
further pleads that Morris gave a re-
lease to the Northern Pacific company
shortly after the accident, in considera-
ton of the payment of $375; and this
release expressly included the Great
Northern.
Morris replies that the agents and
servants Of the company secured this
release on the fraudulent representa-
ton to him, that his injuries were slight
and he would soon be all right again,
whereas his condition was so bad at the
time that he was not in his right mind
and the agents took advantage of this
circumstance to influence him to give
the release.

MRS. BILLINGS DIVORCED.
Married Tventy-One Years and Is
Only Thirty-FOur.

only Ih1rty-FOur.
Judge Otis yesterday heard the suit
Of Mrs. Lucy Billings for a divorce
from her husband, Otis L. Billings, and
granted her the decree asked for
Though Mrs. Billings is now only thir-
ty-four years Of age, she says, she was
married about twenty-one years, being
welded at Delano in March, 1875. She
therefore could not have been more
than thirteen when she married. She
and her husband lived together until
about a year ago, when she left him,
she said, because of his cruel treatment,
drunkenness and failure to provide for
herself and family for over two years
before. She told the court that when
she was Ill, he neglected her so that
the neighbors had to bring in food and
fuel. The couple have four children,
the eldest of whom is eighteen and the
youngest twelve years Of age. The
husband is forty-seven years of age.
He made no defense to the action. The
family has lived most of the time in
Minneapolis.
Judge Kelly concluded the hearing in
the suit of Betty Lundsedt for a di-
vorce from her husband, Andrew K.
and refused to grant her the decree
asked for Mrs. Lundsedt claimed that
her husband misused her, but the testi-
mony of a number of neighbors was
offered to show that he was a very
kind husband.
Suda Widmann has begun an action
for divorce from her husband, Joseph,
to whom she was married here in 1874.
She alleges that the defendant deserted
her in 1885, leaving her with five children,
The plaintiff is forty-fOur and the de-
PENDANT forty-seven years of age.

majority Of the owners of the prop
erty AUDITING upon the street where
the main is proposed to be laid consent
to such Improvement. This regulation,
it was argued, would remove the temp
tation to extend mains in front of prop
erty which would not be benefited
thereby and which was not in need
Of such an Improvement. 1t was
also urged that to abolish the frontage
tax at this time would work an in
justice upon those property owners
who have been paying it for several
years by relieving all those prop
erty owners who have not as yet begun
paying any, or have not paid more
than single years tax.
1t is understood that Col. Clough and
Aid. Markham adopted the latter view
and signed in favor of continuing the
frontage tax for the reasons stated,
while the other five members concluded,
all things considered, that it would be
better for the city at large and all the
taxpayers, to abolish the frontage tax
as soon as possible.
The committee could see no serious
objection to compelling the city to
pay for the water it consumes.
In that portion Of the report per-
tanning to the general taxes. Col.
Clough, who DATED the document,
dwells pointedly upon what the COM
mittee regards as the unjust discrim-
ination against the city and in favor
of the state, in the matter Of appor
tioning the tax collections. The re-
port declares that the state is receiv-
ing from the city too large share of
the collections, owing to the excessive
amount at which the city property
is assessed in comparison with that
in the state at large. The committee,
after q careful calculation. arrived at
the conclusion that the city had been
paying the state $4,000 a year more
than it would if the total assessed valu-
alton of all property in the city were
correct, instead of being greatly ex
aggerated. In twenty years this al
legged excess paid the state would
amount to s1,4O0,O00, which, with in
terest, would amount to over $2,000,000
during such a period.

DENIED A NEW TRIAL.
NJ. It. Starts Verdict Against the G..
N. Stands.

Judge Kerr has filed an order denying the
motion Of defendants for a new trial in the
suit of Michael T. Starr against the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific roads, Starr
news agent on the Northern Pacific
passenger train that collided with Great
Northern freight train at the crossing of the
two roads in St. Cloud some two years ago.
When the case was tried a few weeks ago,
Starr secured a verdict for heavy damages.
With reference to the contract under which
Starr was working, and which, the COM
panies set up, precluded his right to dam
ages, Judge Kerr says that such contract
was contrary to public policy. The testimony
of the trainmen of the Great Northern that
their freight train stopped at the 200 sign
board was not believed by the jury, and the
court finds that the jury was justified in SO
finding. 1t was also in evidence that the
Northern Pacific train approached the cross
ing at the rate of fifteen miles an hour and
without stopping at the stop board.

LIVING BENEATH A LAKE.
Cool Retreat an Englishman Has Con-
structed for Warm Weather.

An Englishman, who has lake upon
his estate, recently caused 1t to be
drained, and in the deepest part he
had a house built, which contains smok-
ing, dining and servants rooms. The
framework of the house is iron. The
floor is Of stone, resting upon found
alton of concrete The sides and roof
are composed of thick plate glass. There
is a passage under the water from the
boat house to the glass house, and air
is obtained through large clumps Of ar
tificial water lilies. which rest upon the
surface of the lake.
1t is indescribably pleasant to sit in
one of the rooms upon a warm day,
The air is cool; there IS no sound to
be heard, and 1t Is interesting to watch
the fish swimming around. attracted
by the glare Of the electric lights.
The house cost comparatively little
to build The owner contemplates a
more ambitious scheme. He has two
square miles of forest which he intends
to enclose by wide, deep trench, a
strong iron railing, and high stone wall.
He will then turn loose into the inclos-
ure every sort of wild animal that he
can procure-lions, tigers, elephants.
etc.-in order to ascertain If they can
live at large in this climate and without
unduly interfering with one another.
There Is to be network Of underground
passages, leading to numerous stone
towers in different places in the forest,
and from these he intends to watch the
animals and study their habits when in
comparatively wild state.-London

WHAT A BILLION MEANS
1t Would Take Nearly Ten Thousand
Years to Count 1t

The following remarkable calculation
on the length of time which 1t would
take a person to count 1000, 100000 re-
Gently appeared in an issue of an English
periodical: What is a billion? The
reply is very simple. In England a bill
lion is a million times a million. This
is quickly written and quicker still pro-
nounced. But no man is able tcscount
1t. You will count 160 or 40 minute
But let us suppose that you go up as
high as 200 minute, hour after hour.
At that rate You would count 49, 900 an
hour 2SS,000 day, or los, ,12O, 900 in a year.
Let us suppose now that Adam, at the
beginning of his existence, had began
to count, had continued to do so and
was counting STILL Had such a thing
been possible, he would have finished
the task of counting billion! To count
a billion would require person to count
200 minute for period of 9512 years
SAP days, hours and 20 minutes Procid-
ing he should count continuously. But
suppose we allow the counter twelve
hours daily for rest, eating and sleep
ing. Then he would need 1S,0s5 years.
319 days, 10 hours and 45 mi-.ufes in
which to complete the task.--St. Louis
Republic.
