Flagging the Limited.

Mondays rLimited was stopped at
Rio Grande station, and ten minutes
lost in curious manner. The train
was approaching the station at 81 miles
an hour when the wife of the section
foreman ran frantically out of the
section house with a blazing paper to
fisg the train. In addition, she used
her red apron, and as the engineer did
not appear to shut off, the woman was
seen to throw up her hands in the air
and beat them together iu the most
startling manner.
OF course, with such q demonstra-
tions as that, Engineer Hadlock thought
the track must be all torn up below
there, stopped as soon as he could, and
backed up those six heavy cars to the
section house. The woman who had
regained her breath, explained that
she expected her husband was coming
up on a hand car, from the west, and
that the Limited would run into him
and kill him. The train pulled care
fully out, when 10 and behold they met
the foreman and some of his men walk
ing leisurely up the right OF way and
having no hand car at all.

White-CrOsby Decision.

1858, z T. White VS.. J. F. Crosby,
appeal from Ell Paso cOunty:=A meet
ing of citizens was held in Ell Paso to
raise moneg to promote the construc-
t. on of railroad, and as q means to
that end a subscription was prepared
and entrusted to committee fnr cir
culation. Appellant signed this sub
scription paper for 5000 as did twenty
four other parties. They obliga' ed
themselves to pay to J. F. Crosby the
sum on certain conditions. TIE iet
was delivered to one 81. r. Wood who
was a son-in-law of the appellee and
who had acted as agent for him in other
matters. Wood told them the paper
would not be accepted by appellee and
the paper was placed in the bands of
one of the committee to be held sub
ject to their order. The testimony
does not show that the road was built
on the faith of this in strument. Held:
1t is well settled that the payment of a
voluntary subscription. on faith of
which expense is incurred or legal liza
bility is assumed may be enforced.
But there i5 no case which holds that
this is so. when such subscription or obli-
cation is not delivered or shown to have
been accepted 1.-THE list was placed
in the hands of the committeeman with
authority, express or implied, to de-
liver it to appellee, they are liable.
There is evidence that Wood was not
the agent of appellee. These facts
were controverted and should have
been submitted to the jury. Reversed

LABOR CONFERENCE.
Between Striking Engineers and Their
Employees to end the Struggle.

LONDON, November 24-It is hoped
that the conference which opens today
between the striking engineers and
the employers will mark the beginning
of the end of a struggle that has lasted
nearly twenty weeks, that directly and
Indirectly has thrown 10000 men out
of work. and has involved a loss of mil
lions of dollars to the wage-workers
and the employers. Some idea of the
magr iFude of this dispute may be
gathered from the fact tha. the strike
pay for single week aggregated $780,.
900, although the allowance to each
man was on the basis of but one-fourth
of his weekly wage. The struggle has
been the most desperate in the history
of the worlds trade uuionism, and it is
a remarks BILE fact that it has been
ba Sed on no heavier demands than that
eight hours should constitute a days
work and that overtime should count
as one and quarter time. The en-
plOyers contend that acquiescence in
these demands would put them sbsol-
utely at the mercy of their competitors
in continental countries. Each side
has fifteen representatives in the con-
ference.
