Four Deaths on British Troop
Ship at Plymouth.

PLYMOUTH, Jan. 10.-The cases of
cholera on board the troop ship Nubia,
which arrived here yesterday morning.
have been confined to the troops. The
deaths Of the two Lascars, which oc-
Cured on the voyage, are now at
tributed to dysentery, though they
were first reported as cholera. The
Nubia proceeded to sea on Saturday
night to bury the bodies Of victim
who died after the arrival at Plym-
outh. Another soldier died Saturday
night and was taken to be buried at
sea. On Sunday most Of the passen-
gers landed, after due precautions had
been taken. The remaining cholera
patients, together with a few of the
suspects, were taken to the hospital
ship, while the troops were still de-
tanned on board.
LONDON, Jan. 10.-A dispatch from
Cairo declares that it is impossible that
fruit from Port Said could have caused
the outbreak Of cholera on the Nubia,
as was reported to be the case yester-
day, because there has been no cholera
in Egypt since September.

Railroad Responsibility in Indian.

A position recently taken by the Indiana
supreme court is radically opposed to the
theory that is supposed to underlie railroad
legislation in many states. One of the towns
In Indiana had endeavored by an ordinance
with penalty clause to compel a railroad
company to maintain gates and fagmen at
four places in the town where the railroad
tracks crossed streets at grade The rail-
road company ignored the ordinance and the
supreme court sanctions its opposition. I'm
der the law. the court says, town may. for
the protection Of its citizens limit the speed
OF trains passing through it's limits and
maintain gates and fagmen at the street
crossings, but it cannot require a railroad
company to maintain such safeguards The
railroad is liable in damages, the court con-
tinues, to any one who, without fault on his
part, is injured by the negligence of the
railroad at such street crossings. But there
the responsibility of the railroad company
ends. Its rights and those of the citizen, as
to crossing the streets, ARE mutual" the
railroad being ION an equality with the cit
izen; tie streets are for public use, and the
railroad company has the right to propel its
locomotives and its cars across them, and is
not a wrong-doer in so doing"
