SUES FOR LOSS OF POSITION.
Former Street Car Manager Accuse
 Present Holder of Place.

Decatur, H., Jan. Civilian l. Ferguson today began suit for $1,20O against Charles N. WilcoXen, manager of the City Electric Railway company | He claims that Wilcoxen hired him to take charge of a railroad to be built be- tween Eaton, O., and Richmond, Ind, at salary of $50 a month.
 The contract was made by Ferguson by mail with parties whom he had never seen, but with whom he had much correspondence. Ferguson re- signed his position as manager of the street car company here and went to Richmond to take the new place.
 He found that the man with whom h. had supposed he was corresponding could not he located and that no one had heard of such 2 proposed railroad. He has since been unable to learn any more about the railroad, but claims that WilcoXen carried on the cOrre- spondence and was the man who made the offer, although it was not done in his name.
 WilcoXen was a resident of Muncie, Ind, at that time and was hired to take the management of the railroad here when Ferguson resigned. MT. Fergu- son says it was plan to get his place. MT. WilcOXen refuses to say anything on the subject, declaring that the trial will vindicate him.

FOREIGN NOTES OF INTEREST

A London woman has obtained two guineas damages from a restaurant keeper because a waiter dropped the whitehall into her lap.
 M. Trouillot, late French minister for the colonies, has been the victim of a queer bit of spite, the barrister of his district having disbarred him by virtue of forgotten law that forbids any law As the French ministers are all paid officials, and many of them lawyers, a general application of the law would be disastrous.
 Marriage is booming in the Lambeth district of London. One of the regis traI's having advertised that he would perform the civil cermony for shiII- ings pence, the vicar of Lambeth church announces that, in order to en- courage marriage in church. he will perform the ceremony for 9 shillings 9 pence, including publishing the lbanns, the fees until then having been Is shillings and 6 pence.
 Two remarkable surgical operations for the purpose of stopping internal hemorrhage have been performed by Dr. Habart of Vienna. In the case of a young man who had fired four slugs into himself, the surgeon cut into the thoracic cavity, removing one of the ribs, and stuffed a yard and a half of iodoform gauge between the heart and the lungs. The other case, that of a man stabbed through the armpit, was treated in the same way. Both pa tients recovered and are now perfectly 1UaT1
