DAMAGE SUITS.
Judge Otis Hearing the Action of
Abbie Fisher.

OIAS tAC fAStkOh III
Abbie Fisher.
Abbie Fishers suit to recover from
the Omaha road $1,000 damages for the
death of her husband, Alfred Fisher,
in June last, is on trial before Judge
Otis and jury. The allegations of the
complaint are that deceased was walk
ing along the railroad track from the
East Seventh street car line to his
home at Hazel Park, as was the GUS
tom of people generally to do. The
defendant has a double track there
and he stepped off the track on which
he was walking onto the other to al
low a freight train to go by. While
standing there a passenger train on
the second track ran over him and
killed him.
The plaintiff claims the employees on
the passenger train were negligent in
not doing something to warn him of
the danger She further alleges that
it was not a schedule train, and that
it was running at a rate of speed much
greater than that allowed by the city
ordinances.
In the suit of Sarah S. Johnson to re-
cover damages for personal injuries
the jury disagreed. This is the second
disagreement in the case. The case
was tried in Judge Kelly's court The
trial of the suit of Theodore H. John
son, the son, against the same defend
ant was then begun before Judge KEEL
ly and a jury. This is an action to
recover $4,525 damages on the same
grounds. The actions grow out of a
collision between a street car and a
funeral carriage.

trict, was the guest of John A. Monger at the
Commercial club last Monday night Mr.. Dem
lett is known to the typographical unions all
over the West of the fairest and most
capable men connected with their affairs.
Mr.. bennett is a man of considerable note
in the union, having managed some of the
most intricate complications that have arisen
within the organization of late years. He
has met with full success in these endeavors
for the betterment of union conditions and
the greater prosperity of it's members. His
administration has never been governed by
caprice or personal pique and has been sue

REVISED VERSION BEST.
Prof. McuIton Gives 1t a High In
d0rSement.

d0rsement.
Prof. Richard Green Moulton, Phi
D., of the University of Chicago, de-
livered his famous address, The Liter
airy Study of the Bible" yesterday
morning in the chapel of the universe
ty at Hamline. DIR. George H. Bridge
man, president of the Institution, in
PRODUCED the speaker in his usual hap
Ply style, stating that he was a gradu-
ate of Christ university, at Cambridge,
where Milton and Baily had been edu-
Gated, and that he felt himself and the
institution honored on having secured
the services of the distinguished gen.
tleman. He also said that, owing to
his acquaintance with his brother,
whom he met at the general conference
held four years ago, Prof. Moulton
was readily induced to address the stu
dents of Hamline. When Prof Moul-
ton rose to address the audience, he
was greeted with the college yell.
He said that the American people
had one idol. He would not call it
an idolatrous nation, yet they evidently
had one idol that they worshiped,
which is Webster's Unabridged Diction-
airy.
During his remarks he recited in a
thrilling manner selections from the
PSALMS" 1.-The Book of Job and
"Songs of Solomon" He also analysed
the Lords Prayer" in such an i'm
pressive way that his audience con-
ceived new idea altogether of the
prayer itself.
He urged scholars who study the
Bible to use the revised version rather
than the King James version, commonly
In use He said it was hard for the gen.
eral public TO adopt the new version,
because they have an aversion to re-
visions; that it was fifty years before
the present King James revision came
into general use after it's adoption. One of
the scholars of that day said he would
rather be torn to pieces by wild horses
than to have the King James version
used by the nations.
Among the distinguished people pres
ent were Rev. and Mrs. Stout Rev.
David Morgan, Rev. Wells, Rev. Kir-
foot, of Minneapolis; DR.. Innis, Dr. o.
borne, Prof Griffen, Prof. Thompson,
Prof. Batcheldor, and Prof and Mrs.
Drew.

that careful consideration and judgment Of
which the subject is worthy. and without
which its application attempted application
would not be justified
The scheme has been laid before quite
number of our best business men who have
approached the subject, all admitting the de-
STABILITY of such a system. but generally with
very grave doubts as to the possibility, and
frequently with strong convictions that it's
application is impossible And yet in every
case after careful examination of the de-
tail. the doubter has been convinced that it
is worthy of trial, and the conviction of i'm
possibility changed to at least hope that the
system is possible. And it is the result of
these examinations by several of our best cit
liens that warrants me in presenting the mat
ter to you, in the hope that it may be taken
up as public measure and thoroughly sifted
and if found worthy applied to the new as
sessment, which must be completed between
now and the 18th of July next.

SHOVE & co. EXPLAIN
why They Placed Insurance in Un-
authorized Companies.

F. S. Danforth, of the Minneapolis
insurance agency of G. B. Shove &
Co, called on Deputy Insurance Com
missioner Lightbourn yesterday to
supplement the statement in regard to
the elevator Az insurance which was
made by Mr.. Shove by telegraph on
Saturday. Mr.. Danforth said that not
only had Van Dusen, the manager Of
the elevator, a state license for the
placing of insurance in outside COM
panies, but that he would sustain this
statement by affidavits if the depart
ment demanded it. The agency had
assumed that the license legalized the
placing Of the insurance. With regard
to one or more policies, which were
written before the date Of the actual
issuance of the license, it was stated
that both license and policies were ap-
piled for at the same time, but there
was delay in the issuance of the IL
cenSe.
Mr.. Danforth further stated that
while the c. B. Shove & Co. agency
had been charged with the writing all
this outside Insurance. as a matter of
fact it was written by other agencies,
and afterwards turned over to them.

Bond Furnished for William.

Yesterday afternoon the Commissioners
acted upon the recommendation of Mai
Moore and made an order dismissing Off,
Ger Dan Williams. the dismissal to take
effect August 25, the day the officer be-
came fugitive. Bond in the sum of s. 600
was given late in the afternoon, and the
accused officer was released from custody.
Mr.. F. D. Foster was accepted as his
bondsman, and he returned home with his
son. Bond was furnished for the defendant
by some Of his intimate friends, who were
associated with him about court in con-
nection with Mr.. Foster, and not by those
who had been associated with him
in the numerous societies with which he
was connected. The work of investigating
the courts accounts will be commenced
Monday, as published in yesterdays Star
and the accused officer has volunteered to
assist in this work. When Williams reach :
ed st. Louis he had only about 81 in his
pocket, and although the races had caused
his downfall he lost no time in getting to
the race track there, but as the price of
admission was 81 he concluded he would
rot give up this amount.
Williams Is in reality very sick man.
and some OF his friends believe he will not
live to stand trial. 1t is stated that his
friends will make every effort to MAX
good the shortage and prevent, if possible.
a criminal prosecution.
