The Railroad Deal.

The railroad deal that we have
heard so much talk about has not yet
been 'consummated, but the meeting
of the bondholders in ST. Louis the
other day was a starter in the direc-
tiOn of an amiaeble settlement and re-
organization of the company. and we
are informed by parties who are in
position to know, that the St. Louis,
Cape Girardeau x Fort Smith road
will in a short time, pass into other
hands. Mr.. Houck is ANXIOUS to get
out of the road and he has agreed to
the propositions made by the bond
!Oiders. We are assured that a
change Of affairs will take place in a
short time aud that the Cotton Belt
road. instead Of building to Gray's
Point. will come in over the Houck
road TO Cape Girardeau.

Bricks from Grants Tomb.

NEW YORK. May 3.-Mayor Strong
has bad stored away in cell in the
basement of the City Hall 1000 bricks
from the old tomb of Gen. Grant,
which may make him some trouble
later on. About a month ago me re-
ceiyed letter from the com
mander of an Illinois G. \. Il. post
asking for one of the bricks of the old
tomb as a souvenir. the Mayor
thought that if one post would want
such souvenir it was likely other
posts would also. He thought it was
as we'll to be prepared for such a con-
tingency. and after a conference with
the contractor the load of 1000 was
ordered. These Mr.. Strong intends
to give to such posts as may ask for
them. As there are 1896 Grand Army
posts in the United States, and it is
quite certain that each one that learns
of the Mayors forethought will want
one of the the relies. it will require
some smart arithmetic to make both

Had Consulted u Lawyer.

An amusing incident occurred during
the trial of Jim Wilson last week.
Jim is young lad and was before
the court charged with having a gun
in a manner contrary to the peace
and dignity of the state.
The evidence showed that young
Wilson and Joe Albright had had
trouble, and that Albright had threat
ened his life, and for this reason
young Wilson claimed he was justified
in carrying pistol.
Judge O'Bryan was defending Will
son and. of course Joe Moore was
there to see that the dignity OF the
state be upheld. For some reason
unknown to the writer, Joe really
tried to convict young Wilson.
The young mans father, an aged
gentleman who is as honest as the
day is long, took the stand and in
answer to Judge O'Bryan's question
as to whether or not his son had car
rled a pistol, he replied: Il did not
see him carry it, but he had one and
l suppose he carried It."
O'Bryan-'Did you ever consult a
lawyer as to whether or not your son
had a rIght to carry pistol?''
The father-"Yes, SIR"
O'Bryan-''With whom did you
consult
the father-''With Mr.. Moore
O'Bryan (pointing to Mr.. Moore J.
| This prosecuting attorney"
The father-"Yes, sir
O'Bryan--"What did he tell you:"
The f;sther-''He told me that under
the circumstances my boy had right
to carry d pistol"
O'Brvan-"This prosecuting as:of-
ney told you that?"
The father-''Yes sir"
The jury brought in a verdfctof not
guilty Benton Newsboy.

Dogs Not Property.

NtOIES W. .OCLNClls vi x" vi iCtiA4e'
sued a railroad company for the val
ue of fine Newfoundland dog which
had been killed by the cars while fol-
lowing him about town. The lower
court gave him Judgment for $3.50,
but this was reversed by the court Ci
appeals. and later the case went to
the supreme court at Washington.
The defense set up by the railroad
company was that the Louisiana law
forbade dogs from running al large,
even though following their master.
BY commen law" said Justice
Brown, ''as we'll as by the law of
most if not all, uf the states, Cog
are not so far recognized as property
that an action will lie fer their con-
version or injury, although, in the
absence OF a statute, they are not re-
gardeG as the subjects OF larceny.
This shows that property in dogs is
OF an imperfect or qualified nature.
They are not considered as being on
the same plane with horses, cattle ard
sheep, in which the right of property
is perfect and complete, but rather in
the category of cats, monkeys, par
rOts. singing birds and similar ami
mails, kept for pleasure. curiosity or
caprice. They have nointrinsic value
that is common to al dogs ana i'll
dependent OF the particular breed or
individual. Unlike other domestic
animals, they are useful neither as
beasts of burden. for draught (eXcept
to a limited extent, nor for food.
Laws for the protection of domestic
animals are regarded as having but
limited applications 20 dogs and
cats: and, irrespective of statute, a
ferocious dog is looked upon ashostis
humani generis and having no right
to life which manis bound 10 respect.
After quoting at length the statutes
of seveLal states To show that dogs II
the abstract are not considered as
property and that the only way Il IMAM
can recover in most states Is by
proving that his particular dog has
some quality which makes him val
uable, Justice Brown concludes as
follows:
Although dogs are ordinarily
harmless. they preserve some OF their
hereditary woliish instincts. which oc-
casionally break forth in the destruc-
ton of sheep and other helpless ami
mails. Others. TOO small to attack
these animals, are simply vic,,ls.
noisy and be tilent. As their ,.>are-
dations are often committed at NJ INT.
it is usually impossible 10 identify
the dog or to fix the liability on the
owner, who. moreover, is likely to bc
pecuniarily Irresponsible. In short,
the damages are such as beyond the
reach of judicial process. and le%is-
latiol of Il drastic nature is necessary
to protect persons and property from
annoyance and destruction.
The Judgment Of the court of APP
peals Is affirmed"
Thus has the supreme court of the
United States placed itself OF record
that dogs are not property.
Wonder ii the next national pUpu-
list convention won't Genounce the
court for this decision.

Cape GIrardcau as a summer Resort

Cape t:Irardc1u as summer resort.
There are some things which Cape
Girardeau has and there are some
things which she has not. but among
the things which she has are natural
advantages fitting her as a place OF
summer resort superior to any such
resort within hundreds OF miles of
here. This fact is not so easily re-
cognized nor so we'll appreciated by
persons who have lived here all their
lives. as il is by strangers or COM
parative strangers. Cape Girardeau
has very natural advantage to make
it place for health and pleasure,
fresh air and magnificent scenery.
The man of quiet nature and manners
as well as the worldly man can enjoy
life here.
