NEWS OF THE RAIL.

The following in reference to the lia bil- ity of railroad companies will prove of interest to the travelling public:
 In Georgia it is decided that the fact that conductor declined to receive a coin of a peculiar appearance, which. however, was legal tender in payment of fare, only because he in good faith beEeved it counterfeit did not relieve the carrier from liability for the conduct or's election of the passenger, because of the latter's refusal to pay fare with oth- CT money.
 In Illinois defendant sold to plaintiff ticket brokers quantity of tickets over its own road, with coupons attached for transportation over "a connecting line. Said tickets were issued under an agree ment with said connecting road, and were for a number of years honored by the latter road and until it passed into the hands of receiver, who was or dered by the federal court to refuse to accept for passage the remainder of said tickets. The supreme court holds that dn selling said coupons defendant acted merely as agent for the connecting line, and was not liable for the latters tal- ure to perform in the contract
 In Alabama plaintiff purchased rail- roed ticket limited to the date indorsed thereon and, though he did not read the Endorsement, he knew that the company was selling such tickets, and his atten-

tion had been called to similar indorse- ments. On the conductors refusal to &C., cept said ticket. because it was out of date, plaintiff declined to pay fare per- hitting himself to be led to the platform and gently ejected after which he re- entered the car and paid the fare to his destination. The supreme court holds that the plaintiff had no cause of action against the company.
 In Illinois it is held that where a pas senger who has just boarded a street car. and was walking to a seat, was in jured because of the sudden starting of the car before the lapse of a reasonable time for the passenger to seat himself,
 the company was liable for the injuries.
 In Texas, a passenger on a train, who was somewhat intoxicated, and walked number of times through the cars, look ing for someone. though he conducted himself without offense toward the oth- CT passengers, accidentally stumbled
 over some baggage, and revolver fell from his pocket and was discharged,
 woundipg another passenger in the foot. The supreme court holds that the carrier had no reason to anticipate such an &C.,
 cident. and was not liable for the injury.
 In Illinois it is laid down by the ap-
 pellate court that 8 sleeping car com
 pany. by providing call bells for it's
 berths holds out notice that such bells
 will be responded to when rung by pas
 sengers occupying such berths.-Ex.

FINE STRING OF TROUT.

 Thirteen Beauties.

Aren't they beanties?" was the ex-
 clamation of many people yesterday af-
 ternoon as MT. J. R. Morton, manager
 of the East Lake Land company's prop
 erty at East Lake, walked up Twenti-
 eth street from First avenue with a
 string of trout, such as one never sees
 this side of Florida. There were thirteen
 fishes on the string, the largest weighing
 exactly five pounds two hours after be-
 ing taken from the water. The fishes
 were alive and looked as tempting as anything in the way of fish a State
 Herald man, who, by the way, is a fisher
 man, has seen in many long days. n j The fishes were caught by MT. Morton
 in Lake Como in l hour and 20 minutes, the largest one giving him a tussel for fifteen minutes. MT. Morton used an or dinary line and fninnows ard enjoyed the sport very much. A gentleman who was with the State Herald man remarked that Florida would have to look out for her laurels when told that Lake Como was not yet ten years old, and that the fishes were native stock ) Mr. Morton informed the reporter that the trout and pike were jumping now and the game would prove interesting to fish,- ermen. ..4--

THE JANUARY LOSSES.

The January gross earnings of rail- roads, compiled by the "Financial Chron- iele," still show losses. Out of 129 roads reporting ninety-two lose, the aggregate loss being SIS per cent, or over $2,500.000
 The comparison is made with a month of increased earnings the gain. in January of 1896 having been Il per cent. There was a contraction in the grain move ment and in live stock movement; the weather conditions were adverse and there vas one less working day this year than last. The wheat receipts at the primary markets were little more than half as much as in January, 1896, and the corn receipts were 29,759.0Go bushels, against 37258.0 .000 the year before. The cotton movement, however, was heavier. the receipts at ports having been 5S3,- 231 bales. against 494,091. The heaviest decrease shown by any individual road is that of the New York Central, name- ly. s3Ss,023. The St. Paul, however, loses over S319,000 and the Northern Pacific $228.000. The Rock Island, the Canadian Pacific the Wabash and the Illinois Gen. tral. each loses over $100,000. The losses are more general in the northwest than in any other group, but in that group the gains last year We're particularly heavy.

BLOOD AND SKIN HUMORS Afilicting a Whole Family. Speedily Cured by
 CUTlCURA. Statements Sworn to Before the Clerk of the Supreme
 Court.

Fly wife had appear on her limbs, just above the ankles, five small pimples that began to- enlarge, and soon developed into eating ulcers of the indolent type, which, despite all reme- dies and our efforts to cure them, grew worse and worse, and at the end of three months. had become very bad, two of them having eaten to the bone. At that time we began to use CUTIcURA remedies, and with two bottles of REsoIvEST, one box of CUTIcURA, and one cake of CUTIcURA SOAP, they were cured scars are there to-day as living witnesses of the severity and extent of the ulcers.
 also was afflicted the same winter with papular rash, from which could not rest day. or night. My skin became in very bad fix when began using CUTICURA remedies. I used them for about one month and was. .- cured.
 My little baby girl, when about ten months old, was afflicted with Eczema, her limbs fromi her knees down were one solid sore from which she suffered greatly. We tried several { remedies which only aggravated them, before we began the use of the CUTIcURA remedies, in which case there was complete cure with no return of the disease.

ing that justice is meted out to litigants.
We have in mind now the murder trial
brought to a close Wednesday. Here
was case that was taken up and dis
posed of in three days time. 1t is safe
to say that the same case if tried in Butte
would have lasted three weeks, thus en-
failing much expense and wearying every
body. Had the court permitted the
Butte lawyers to have their own way,
they would have fallen into the old prac-
tice in vogue in Butte. 1t was attempted
to introduce medical expert testimony to
prove line of defense, and had the
court not promptly set his foot down
against it, the case might still have been
on trial One Of the lawyers remarked:
