unless it was proven to have been Of

1t was contended that complainant
remedy should be against the company
issuing the repudiated mileage, and
not against the c., 81. V. & T. Ry. Co.,

The case was appealed to the circuit

New Order For Engineers.

When in service on engine equipped
with the Gravity Slide ash pan care
must be taken when using same to see
that no clinkers are left up against the
bottom of the pan, so when slides are
closed there can be 10 chance of them
getting clinkers between ends of slides
and preventing them closing. AS with
the leverage applied to slide, it is i'm
possible to strain the rigging. so the
counter balance will be in proper posi-
tion and slide be held open by reason
of clinker being between the end OF
slides. Do not use much force in clos
ing, without looking for cause of their
working hard, as they work quite
easy, when there is no obstruction to
slides.

How a Verdict For $4,000 DAM

A belief has long prevailed that jur-
les composed of men find it difficult, If
not impossible, to remain impartial
when pretty woman is party to the
litigation.
In the case of the Omaha Street Rail-
way Company VS.. Emminger, recently
decided by the Supreme Court of Ne
ebraska, the momentous question of the
right of fair plaintiff to introduce in
evidence q shapely lower extremity
was considered.
In that case the plaintiff sued to re-
cover damages for q personal injury
whereby her right leg was broken be-
tween the knee and ankle, and the
trial court allowed an inspection of the
injured member by the jury, who
promptly brought in averdict for 3d.,
900. In passing on the property of the
procedure, the Supreme Court said:
SIT is not insisted that ordinarily
there would be error in exhibiting to
q jury limb injured as this has been
but it is said it was improper in this
instance, for the reason that the
defendant In error, q female, was
young, handsome and attractive, and

Noticed a tremendous disturbance just
ahead of my carriage. Two thorough
ly angry tourists were standing in the
street rubbing their heads and swear
ing with ar ease and force which con-
WINGED me at once that they were

had evidently been occupied by the
tourists, were standing near by, ana
the drivers were hurting indistinguish-
able jargon at each other, to the delec-
tatiOn of q crowd of OnlOOkers. My

the excitement With some difficulty
/ persuaded him to proceed, and when
we were out of sound Of the uproar
asked him what the trouble was.
"Why, monsieur he said, Jaspard
ran into Pierre's cab and scraped some
of the paint from the wheel. Pierre
was naturally very angry and sWore at
Jaspard, whereupon Jaspard said eff

A Libel on Gotham.

The nearest approach to a system
ever yet made by a New York deputy
assessor of personal taxes was invent
ed by one who was somewhat Of q
card player.
He took pack Of cards, gave a value
to each card and then drew a card
from the pack for each name on his
list. A deuce meant $4,000, a tray $3,-
900, a four $4,000 and so on up to the
knave, which was valued at $4,000,
the queen at $4,000, the king at $780,
00C and the ace at $4,000. If anything
less than n five spot was drawn, he
erased the name from the list, as it is
customary to assess only those who
are supposed to possess $4,000 or more
of personal estate.
The especially amusing thing about
this mans work was that there We're
fewer objections made to his assess
ments than to those of any other depu-
ty. He gained a reputation for hard
work, and his salary was raised twice
in one year.-Buffalo Express.
