A BOY AND A BALLOON,
Or How Business Was Interrupted In q
Chicago Department Store.


Or How Business Was interrupted In q
Chicago Department Store.
The small boy had purchased rubber
balloon in the toy department..
He was tagging after his mother in
the crowded first floor of the big depart
ment store when some one jolted against
him SO that he let go of the string. The
rubber balloon fioated upward until it
reached the ceiling.
The boy howled in dismay, and his
mother dropped her bundles, imagining
that some one had walked on him.
There was the balloon bobbing against
the ceiling.
The boy held up his hands toward it
and demanded that it be returned to
him. His mother gathered up her bun
dies and scolded him for being careless.
Then the aisle became blocked with
people who offered suggestions.
Get long fishing pole, !" said one.
How did it happen?' asked another.
How long will it stay up there?"
inquired yet another.
A porter came running to find out
what was the matter A dozen willing
people pointed out the balloon that rested
lightly against the ceiling and was
shifted about by every little movement
of the air.
Il don't see how can get it" said
he.
"Oh, you ought to get it for the boy,
said large man, who had established
himself as master of ceremonies. "You
bought the balloon here in the store,
didn't you, madam?''
eyes, SIR" she replied
"She bought the balloon here in the
store" said the large man to the porter
II think if you get long window pole
and stand on that highest shelf that you
can fish it down."
1t was cent balloon, but the porter
went after it as if it We're the bag of
gold that hangs from every rainbow.
He found the pole and climbed to the
high shelf. Several hundred people stop
ped their shopping and watched him for
five minutes as he vainly poked in an
effort to fasten the end of the window
pole in the dangling string.
At last he was successful.
The balloon was slowly hauled down,
to the intense qualification of every one
except the small boy, who had become
interested in a small aquarium contain
ing goldfish. Chicago Record.

The Costly Atlantic city Disaster.

Railroad men are of the opinion that it
will require fully half million dollars
to pay the damage claims of the heirs
killed in the Atlantic City railroad accl-
dent, and of those who, although injured,
survived the disaster. 1t is expected that
long list Of suits will burden the court
dockets, but who the defendant company
will be is matter of speculation among
attorneys and others.
There are those who contend that the
Readings corporation, called the Atlantic
City Railroad, can be sued directly. while
others argue that the ones suffering dam
age must sue the West Jersey and Sea-
shore Railroad, the latter then recovering
from he Reading, if it can establish that
the Reading was responsible for the acci-
dent. These bold that the injured people
had contract with the West Jersey to
carry them safely home. This contract
was not with the Reading. At the same
time it may be thai the two companies
may be made defendants jointly.
The first of these suits for damages
has already been instituted by Phiadel-
phia parties. aud the two railroad com,
paDies are jointly made defendants.

Three Verdicfs by the COrOner's JOry
Ia the ATLANTIC City Disaster.

Ia the Atlantic city Disaster.
The coroner's jury, impanelled to
Investigate the causes of the Atlantic
City disaster, finished their labors on
Friday, and in the evening they returned
three separate verdicts, after five hours
deliberation.
The first is signed by the entire six,
and is as follows: "We, the jury en-
panelled TO investigate the cause of death
of P. 81. Goldsmith and others. find that
the said persons, whose bodies we have
viewed, came to their deaths by COL
lision of express train No. 23 on the
Atlantic City Railroad and excursion train
No. 700 on the West Jersey and Seashore
Railroad at point known as the meadow
tower, near Atlantic City, on the Both
day of July, 1896, at or about As P. M.
"Charles Evans, Lewis Evans, Thom as
j Dckerson, j. III. Champion, Levi G.
Albertson, Charles E. Adams"
The second verdict follows: eve, the
undersigned jurors, also find that En-
gineer Edward Farr, of the Atlantic City
Railroad, failed to have his engine under
proper control on approaching said CROSS
ing. and that rowerman George F.
Hauser, in giving the excursion train of
ooo w OoV oohcOy ohO Ot W oy OFOi a

are also of the opinion that Engineer
John Greiner, of the said excursion train,
erred in not exercising greater care in
crossing ahead of said fast express.
Charles Evans, foreman; Thos. j. Dicker-
son, Charles E. Adams"
The third verdict reads: 1.-THE under
signed jurors are of the opinion that the
cause of the collision was the failure of
Edward Farr, engineer of train 23. to
give heed in time to the semaphore sig
nails set against him, and thus failed to
have his train under proper control on
approaching the signal and crossing
under the rules. The undersigned jurors
further declare that the towerman, Geo.
f. Hauser. may have used poor judg-
ment in his estimate of the distance away
