Prothonotary Copeland received yes
terday from the Supreme court the
opinions in the McIIugh anu Gilmar-
tin cases.
On June H. 1895, Lizzie Glmartin
- years OF age, was run down by Il
street car a few yards from her home
on Brooklyn street, Carbondale, and
she was severely injured. Her right
foot was crushed, necessitating ampu-
tation, and her body was badly bruis-
ed. An action for damages resulted
in a verdict in her favor to the am
cunt of $3.50. Judge Gunster tried
the case, and OBrien q Kelly
were attorneys for the plaintiff. The
supreme court reversed the verdict and
by ordering judgment for the defen-
dant made it almost impossible to re-
open the case. The opinion in sub
stance is as follows:
While city passenger railway companies
have not an exclusive right to the use
Of the parts of the streets occupied by
their tracks, they have a right of way
and q right to an unobstructed track
for the passage of tEeir cars. In the use
Of their tracks their rights are superior
to those of the public. The convenience
of the individual in the use of the part of
the street to which the cars are confined
must give way to the convenience OF the
public who use the cars.
The use of electricity as a motive pow
er by street railway companies has great
ly increased the danger to those who
drive or walk on city streets Many uses
of streets which were formerly compara-
lively safe are now extremely danger
Gus. OF the increi sed danger all who
use the streets must take notice, and a
high degree of care and watchlulness is
required of them.

SINGLE TRACK ROAD.

The cars of the defendant company
ran both ways on a single track, with
turnOuts, in a city street The plaintiit
lived on the street and was entirely IA
miiiar with all the surroundings and the
manner in which the cars were operated.
Returning to her home at night she
chose to walk on the track because the
surface was hard and smooth and the
carriage way was dusty, and the side
walks uneven in places.
A few minutes before the accident she
met a car which was switched on the
turnout to allow car coming in the op-
poSitc direction TO pass. She knew that
a car was coming behind her and looked
back frequently TO see whether 1t was
near. She testified: 81 looked back every
second, because l knew the car was
coming; l walked just at a medium giant;
l was watching for the car going south
and l knew the darger l was in
She was struck by the car when she
was within four doors of her home. The
track behind her was straight and her
view of an approaching car was unob-
structod for two hundred feet. The
night was not so dark and the car was
an open one lighted by seven mean
descent light. An electric arc light was
within twenty-five feet of the place, and
lighted tho street so effectually that her
dirt between the rails and stepped TO one
side to avoid il, and thus escaped in
jury. A heavily loaded coal train drawn
by three engines was passing over an
iron bridge which crossed the street a
short distance in front of her This train
made so much noise that she was fear
full she could not hear the sound of the
approaching street car.
The only direct testimony as to the
speed of the car. was that ii was run
ming at the rate of four. mites an hour
with the current shut off. This tcs.i-
mony is unaffected except by the testi-
mOny Of a woman, who was a passenger
that the car was running unusually fast
and teetered up and down so that she
was obliged to hold fast TO the seat. The
motorman did not see the plaintiff unlil
she was struck, and he stopped the car
within its length. 1t appeared that the
headlight was not burning, and that the
gong was defective and did not always
ring.

THEORY THEY WENT ON.


The case was tried for the plaintiff on
the theory that she had a right to walk
on the track longitudnally and that If
she was vgilant in watching for the ap.
proach of a car she had done her whole
duty. This View was adopted by the
learned trial judge who in his charge
said: "If she used such care IN looking
back, in looking ahead of her and look
ing behind her, in listening under the cir
cumstances of the case as a reasonably
prudent person would have done, she
would not be guilty of negligence"
A reasonably prudent person under the
circumstances would not have been ON
the track, and she was guilty of negi-
gcnce in being there. Her right to use
the track was subordinate to that of the
company. With the whole street open
she undertook to walk on the track sole
ly for her own convenience. She persisted
in doing so after she knew that a car
was coming behind her, and that she
could not hear its approach. Fully con-
sCious of her peril she voluntarily and
heedlossly remained in place Of un-
SAual danger taking the chance OF
reaching her home before she was over
taken by the car, or of seeing it in time
to step Oft the track. The judgment is
reversed ana ii is ordered that judgment
De entered for the defendant.
The McHugh case was Instituted
many years ago. 1t was tried twice
and a verdict each time was given for
the plaintiff for the full amount of the
claim. The first time it was tried a
new trial was granted because the
defendants attorneys were not per-
mitted TO address the jury last, appli-
cation TO that effect having been made
and refused. The verdict carries with
it the adjudication OF another case,
and both will amount to about $4,000.
The appeal for a new trial was made
to the Supreme court principally on
the ground that the lower court per-
mitted evidence tending to show that
the defendant attempted TO influence

The scarcity OF young cattle in
North Dakota is seen everywhere.
Buyers are offering good prices
and going to Manitoba, paying
duty to get young stock, a cattle
buyers in this vicinity lately gives
his opinion Of the situation thusly:
''The county has been cleaned up of
marketable cattle and they will be
scarce for year or two. Had the
farmers paid more attention to cattle
than to wheat in the past they would
now be in much better condition gene
rally. More cattle and less wheat, has
been the cry of warning all along, and
farm ers are fortunate who needed it. "
A few years ago cattle were
scarcely worth raising to maturity
and farmers naturally let the stock
run down to the lowest point in
numbers it has ever been. The
turn came suddenly and prices are
likely to be good for several years,
but the short time that has inter-
vened between low prices and
high shows the narrow margin on
which food products in this
county are carried from year to
year.

IN KEEPING.

r. G.. Dun & Company testify in
their last weekly report in the
most practical way to the danger
Gus tendencies Of DingIeyism.
"The great strike of operatives in the
cotton mills of New England seems az
convenient to the mill owners as if they
had ordered it," observes the writer OF
this report. "Prohably it will last long
enough to work off stocks, and the prin,
cloth ll.aTise. is already about per cent
stronger, while a slight advance is noted
in some other cotton goods"
This observation and surmise
are in line with the strange con.
tention advanced by Mr.. Dlngley
in the defense he made of his
tariff law in the house debate
recently.
Mr.. Dingley offered as a remedy
for the stagnation in the labor
market which, he acknowledged,
was caused by the operations of
protection, the suggestion that
production be further limited by
shortening the hour of labor. He
even went so far rs to advocate the
adoption Of an amendment to the
constitution prescribing the num-
Der of hours every artisan in the
United States shall be allowed to
work, regardless of the desire or
necessity Of the individual most
directly concerned. This is a
political doctrine entirely in keep
ing with the spirit which su1repti-
tiously encourages workmen to
strike in order to check produc-
ton as a means of increasing the
prices of the products of their
labor.

Having only recently received
official facts and figures showing
the marvellous growth of the sale of
American manufactures and pro-
ducts in the home markets of En-
glish trade, it is now additionally
gratifying to learn that a similar
record is being made on German
territory.
From a recent report of the
United States Consul, General
Mason at Frankfort, Germany, it
appears that the merchants and
manufacturers Of this country have
established the frmest of footholds
in the Kaiser's dominions. The
sale of food products is large and
rapidly increasing, despite govern
mental and trade opposition; our
manufacturers are successfully
competing in German markets in
the sale Of shoes, steel and Iron
goods, mining and electrical ma
chinery, sewing machines, fathers
milling machines and tools of all
kinds.

duct nssNh highest wages" we
