IN THE COURT OF APPEALS.
Two Decisions Handed Down, One
Reversing the Lower Court.

lWO DecfsfOus hantcu COWn, One
Reversing the Lower Court.
In the Court OF Appeals yesterday an
opinion was handed down in the case OF
Chauncey w. and Harry d. Dodge and
others against Samuel Cohen and others.
The decree afIirms the decision of the lower
court and was written by Chief Justice
Alvey. The question involved was as to
the rights of an assignee after an assign
ment had been made.
In the case of William p Armstrong
Emma ]. Coleman, and others against the
United States Building Association the
opinion was by Justice Morris and the
judgment of the lower court was reversed
The appellants were borrowers from the
defendant organization, for which a re-
ceiver was appointed by the court. The
examiner reported upon the claims OF the
appellants, but they were not satisfied with
what was allowed them and appealed from
the decision.

Gus system on starvation rations and the

There is no protection against the ava

ease. When the nerves are unstrung,
the mind is irritable, the stomach weak
and distressed after eating, the brain dull
and stupid, the conditions are ripe for
serious illness. This may be averted and
the system restored to sound health by
the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical

lndisputabIe Facts.

Disease, fermentation and decay are caused
by microbes and germ life; when these Or
ganic pests are destroyed there can be no
sickness.
Antiseptics are so called because they destroy
microbes; surgeons always use antiseptics in
performing dangerous operations.
Carbolic acid is common antiseptic, but is
poisonous If taken into the system strong
enough to destroy the germs of disease.
Radam's Microbe Killer, composed of GASES,
is an antiseptic, perfectly harmless to the
human body, but doubly powerful in destroy
ing disease if faithfully applied. Physicians
frequently use Microbe Killer in treating Can
GERS and recommend it fer Catarrh, Tubercu-
losIs. etc; others know it to be invaluable in
Bright's Disease and Bladder Troubles.
Fermentation of food in the stomach causes
Dyspepsia, Sourncss, ETC.; Radam's Microbe
Killer destroys the CAUSE and sweetens the
stomach.
Impoverished blood is the home of germ
life; when pure 1t is the fountain OF life, the
source OF all health and vigor.
Radam's Microbe Killer Is the only rational
remedy for all diseases; its antiseptic power
eradicates every disease from the human body.

The new wire will be in addition to

Sorry They Spoke.

An Austin correspondent says:
Some of the lines which were most
active in stirring up the switching
charge matter and to which the respon-
sibility for the com missions action in
the premises attaches, have come to
the conclusion that they bit off more
than they can conveniently masticate
and are now sorry they spoke. Furth-
ermore, it is beginning to dawn upon
the commission that it was possibly
"worked'' into taking situation
which needed no attention at its hands
and it is possible that the matter will
be reopened and the order previously
entered with regard thereto revoked.

Rigidity in Roadbed.

The opinion. formerly generally
held, that railroad track should be
elastic, is retreating before the sound
err judgment that it should be rigid and
smooth as lathe bed. 1t is exempli-
fed in the modern cable or electric
street car tracks in cities, where the
traffic is heavy enough to justify the
great cost of exceptionally rigid aud
solid cons truction.
But on steam railroads the old
methods are tenaciously adhered to,
and no material improvement has been
made in track construction since steel
rails were Introduced. The best rail-
road track of the present day repre-
sents only long, flexible, makeshift
bridge of roughly spiked rails on more
or less yielding supports of loose ties.
Under a railroad train it behaves very
much like the key board of piano I'M
der the hand of player. It is yet
very far from the condition of the rigid
ana smooth track of modern street car
lines, Cd which the expense for repairs
and maintenance, exclusive of rail re-
newals, has been reduced to a mere
nominal amount But the enormous
cost of S45. 900 to 100000 per mile for
such track puts it out of the question
for steam railroads.
On the present railroad tracks safe
ty for fast and heavy trains can be had
only through constant watchfulness
and incessant repairs, that form a big
item in the cost of operations. This
item on some lines with heavy traffic
reaches $500 annually per mile of
single track, exclusive of renewals of
rails and ties, which amounts to about
$4OO q year additional. The present
cost OF such track for 90-pound rail,
oak ties and stone ballast is about
$500. 1t was only $500 a year ago.
If saving of $500 to $500 could be af-
fected in the annual cost of mainten-
ance and renewals. it would justify a
cost of S14 ,OOO to SIG, 900 per mile for
track construction of superior rigidity
and smoothness, with increased safety
for fast trains, and still leave large
margin for increased dividends to
stock holders.-Railroad Gazette.

EFFECT OF THE
QUARANTINE
Railroads Think That Some
Classified Agreement
Should be Reached.
A FEW WORDSOF WISDOM
From an FL pdSO Railroad Official -
The Santa Fe the Victim of a
$4,000 Hold-up-RailWdyN News,
General and Local.

"You cannot imagine what an effect
the quarantine against New Orleans lie
having on the railroads." remarked an
official this morning.
SIT not only is q hardship on the
roads, but it directly and Indirectly
affects every Individual interest in the
community. Men are constantly being
laid off who would naturally be given
employment at this season of the year.
These wage earners distribute money
to landlords, butchers, bakers and 9TH
ers and make times good.
"Don't understand, however, that
the railways are opposing quarantine.
On the contrary every order given by
the state authorities is carried out to
the letter. It is to the interest of the
roads that yellow fever be kept out of
Texas. So far as the railway are con-
oerned it would not appear in New Or
leans or anywhere else. Every time it
breaks out it means the loss of q vast
amount of money to the roads, much
more than the public would imagine,
and when the railroads al e affected by
loss of revenue all classes of trade
share in the burden.
cit does seem, though, that In this
day and age some agreement could be
reached whereby an intelligent quar-
antine could be established. We ask
and, as 1 said before, we would not for
any amount of money introduce into
Texas case of yellow fever. But we
do think that If the powers that be
would get their thinking caps together
they would agree upon what in rail-
road phraseology would be a classified
quarantine. BY that 1 mean that such
freight should be admitted into Texas
which cannot possibly carry germs.
We can not at present even bring in
the most powerful disinfectants. Any
thing wrapped in burlsps or similar
protection should be placed on the list
OF goods not permitted transit, but
mercha ndise, except say dry goods,
should be moved. What danger =, is
there 10 salt, sugar, iron castings and
many other articles? None what
ever.
I'VE have about reached the con-
clusion that quarantine will be estah-
lished against New Orleans every year,
SO it is better for all interests that old
horse sense should prevail and that
such goods as cannot possibly carry
contagiou OF any kind be admitted into
Texas.
s.Wnat is called the Atlanta agree
m NJ is n some ways fair, but it hard
ly meets all requirements. 1t was
adooted rather hastily and at a panicky
time, therefore l believe that If the
health departments will give the mat
ter due consideration the railways
aud the public will be relieved, that is
tn the extent of allowing a specified
class IF freight to move. And you may
be g. sured thai TOE railways will be
the first to report and condemn and
prosecute any violation"

it been invented before the present

DIFFERENTIAL FARES.
Possible That Plan to Arbitrate May
Be Abandoned.

NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-Arguments
for and against the present system OF
differential fares on Eastern railroads
were heard today by the board of arbi-
tratioD, which is composed of j. F.
Goddard, chairman of the Trunk Lines
passenger association; w. w. Finl ey,
vice president of the Southern railway
and F. G. Donald, commissioner of the
Central Passenger association.
Owing to the Erie's withdrawal and
other difficulties which have recently
arisen In connection with the work of
arbitration it is doubtful if anything
definite can be accomplished at the
present time, and it ia even considered
possible that the plan to arbitrate may
be abandoned. It IL more probable.
however, that a later date will be set
for hearing arguments and that mean
while further efforts will be made to
bring the lines together.

president DIAZ.
Although He Received Permission.
He May Not Be Able to Visit

Chicago.
A special to The Times-Herald from
Mexico City says:
Doub still exists whether President
Diaz will make the trip to Chicago.
Congress has voted it's permission for
the president to leave the country, but
the condition of Sonora Diaz's health
may prevent the departure of the pres
ident.
Ambassador Clayton said today that
President Diaz's decision may not be
expected before week or so. He ad-
ded that Mr.. Diaz himself greatly de-
sires to visit Chicago. He Ia especial
ly anxious to meet President McKin-
United States. Besides the action of
congress removes all legal obstacles,
but as the doctors are doubtful as to
Sonora Diaz, the president has not &C
tually made up his mind.
The final answer, Mr.. Clayton ad-
ded, will be made through the Next
can ambassador in Washington.
It is certain the action of congress
afforded the Mexican president great
satisfaction. There was full atten-
dance. it being the first time that a
president asked permission to leave the
country.
The question came up in the form of
special bill giving leave OF absence for
twenty days and appointing as presi
nent in the interim Ignacio Mariscal,
former minister to Washington. The
question was taken by rising vote,
the senators and representatives an
swering him.
The silence during the voting was
solemn and the result showed not q
vote in the negative.
Unless his wife's illness assumes d
serious phase Chicagoans may expect
to see President DiaZ at their fall fes-
