Sum of $4,000 Dcma nsIed of Capital
Traction Company.

Trial was begun today before Judge Cole,
in Circuit Court No. 1, of the suit at law
to recover $4,000 damages instituted by

that resulted in the loss of a leg by being
run over by one of the cars of the de-
PENDANT company.

at the time, the condition of the little fell
low being critical for several weeks.
The boy was injured between . and
O'Clock in the morning of the day men,
toned, the scene of the occurrence being
Pennsylvania avenue between 18th and
Both streets. According to Rapp he boarded
a cable car of the company bound east 10
sell newspaper to a customer. The con-
ductor. he says, ordered him off and he
started to obey, but found that the train
was moving too rapidly for him to alight
with safety, so he decided 10 remain
aboard. The conductor, however il is
charged approached and made motion to
thrust or kick the boy from the car He
then jumped and was struck and run over
by car of the company moving west. 1t
is set forth that in addition to the in
jurfes that made amputation of the left
leg necessary other serious injuries were
sustained.
Messrs. Henry Z. Davis and c. c. Tucker

In The Church Times peter Lombard
repeats a good story which he says was
told him by an American bishop at a re-
cent luncheon. A traveller in the Rock
les happened to have a big stone fall from
precipice near him. 1t fell on a rattle
snake which was sleeping underneath, and
the poor beast vas writhing helplessly.
The traveller with much trouble lifted the
stone, and the reptile crawled into its
hole. A few days afterward the same
traveller happened to pass the place, and
10. there was the snake, which on seeing
him showed every sign of delight and at
lection. He. In return, caressed 1t and
carried it home, and 1t used to sleep in
his room and to look for his visits, espe-
cially as he was sure to bring In a frog or
a saucer OF milk. One night he was awak-
ened by noise in his room. Raising HIM
self up. he found that a burglar had en-
tered, and the snake had cooled around
his leg and Kissed. and driven him to the
window Having done SO, he put out his
tail and ratified for the police!

tray, and on it place the green leaf of

In position lay over 1t piece of glass. A
spoiled negative not larger than 4x5-unless
the leaf is quite large-may be used for
this purpose. Turn over the plate solu-
ton of hyiriodate OF potash containing a
few grains of fodide to each ounce of So
luton. Cover the plate completely, so that
