heard no complaints after landing and
he was wounded soon after,
Capt. Hughes OF rhe 18th infantry
found the canned roast beef unpalat-
able, did not satisfy hunger and he
could not eat it. Such was the eN-
perience generally OF the men. 1t WAS
stringy and without nutriSive value
Capt. Ennis OF the 4th artillery said
that personally he had taken the
canned roast beef as a stew and was
often nauseated. \ great many men
would eat the canned roast beef and
turn about quickly and romit and
finally refused TO eat it al all. The re-
frigerator beef was satisfactory.
Maj. Gen. sumner of The volunteers,
who commanded a brigade OF cavalry
throughout the campaign, testified that
complaints about the roast beef We're
heard in the lines. No action was TAX
en- because 1t was all we had and II
would not do any good" The refris-
Grated beef was good, except that much
of it spoiled before reaching the camp,
) or hours from the depot. He said
he attributed none of the sickness to
the food.
Maj. Lee of the 9th infantry said the
refrigerated beef frequently spoiled
before it could be gotten TO the camp
miles from the city.
Capt. Jackson of the 7th infantry
found the canned roast beef generally
acceptable. He found it rather taste
less, but nourishing. The refrigerated
beef was half spoiled when delivered
miles from the depot. He never had
an idea of any chemical treatment.

Madison, tSb. -


Yesterday the supreme court handed
down a number of decisions chiefly IN
cases from the northern part OF the
state, Probably The most Important
decision is that III the case OF Law
renee Ward against the Milwaukee
railroad, IN which the court settles the
rule in this STATE regarding special YER
diets when given by jurics with general
yerdicts, The courts says that hereat-
ter tho rule shall be that no special YER
oict shall be given by jury together
With a general verdict when there Is
objection made by either party to the
suit, The decisions in the past have
been in some conflict on this point, but
this decision clears the question, and
makes the rule in such instances alb
solute Mr., Ward the plaintim in the
lower court and respondent In the su-
premc court, sued the railroad com
pany for damages for the loss OF sew
eral toes as the result OF having his
foot crushed while standing on the
platform of an excursion train running
from 0rGordvtlle to Janesville There
was to be a Modern Woodmen picnic 1T
GAINESVILLE June 10, 1896, and Mr.. Ware
took the train at Orturdvillo in the
morning of that day, The cars were
crowded and he with difficulty forces
his way into the inside OF the car
When the train stopped at Hanover
he was forced out on the platform by
the crowd, some women having en-
tered the car lie was unable SO enter
;he car again and remained standing
on the platform. While there. nu-
other ear was coupled to the one ON the
platform of which he was standing,
and he was thrown from His feol
by the shock of the coils
tuu. One OF his feet got
between the bumpers of the two cars,
and was crushed, The jury In the cir
cult court gave him $500 On special
verdict and also on u general verdict,
lhc attorneys for the railroad com
pany appealed ON the ground that the
jury should not have been allowed to
render the two vordicts, and the gu
promc court upholds their position.
Justice WINSTON, who wrote the opn-
ion, said that the special verdict with
its questions requiring the jury to
find separate decisions on separate
questions of fact was designed to secure
fair verdicls free from prejudice, and
to allow the jury to bring In gen
cral verdict with the special one Ia to
defeat the purpose Of the special YER
dict law. fho court says that there
has been conflicting decisions on the
question in this state, but that hero
after the rule laid down in this case
will be the law Of the state
