N. H. R. R. MUST PAY.
Supreme Court sustains Verdict Against
Company Of $500.

In the supreme court Wednesday the
full bench overrued the defendant
exceptions in the case OF Julia f. Roo
ney against the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad, sustaining a
verdict of $500, returned for the pain
tiff in the superior court. In October,
1894 the plaintiff was injured in a col
lision on the defendants road at Hyde
Park, which resulted in her becoming
insane. In August. 1895, she saw the
body of James Dunn, who worked with
her as an operative in a mill, after he
had been killed by q train; and il the
following month she witnessed the nor
rors of the famous Hyde Park acct
dent, Oct "a, 1895. Her hallucinations
regarding engines and trains grew more
pronounced, until her condition became
such that she was committed to an IN
sane hospital.
At the trial of her suit for damages,
the defendant admitted its liability in
the accident in which the plaintiff was
injured, but contended that the injur-
les she sustained did not produce in
sanity, and that the subsequent occur
rences which she witnessed, tended to
impair her mind. The jury was in
structed that the defendant Would not
be liable if the plaintiffs condition was
not caused by the accident to her, but
by the subsequent occurrences or eth
er of them. The supreme court says
that this instruction was correct.
Judge Lathrop dissents from the Opin-
ion of the majority of the court on the
ground that he does rot think the SUI
perior court judge was warranted in
instructing the members of the jury
that they might estimate the damages
on the basis of an annuity.

Wheat opened firm at a gain of &c on
the Illinois state crop report, which was
very bullish; Liverpool news was very
strong, but the foreign houses appeared
to be selling little at the start. Consid-
cradle long wheat came out but it went
into good hands. Reports from Kansas
stated that much damage has been caused
by high winds and that nobody there ex-
poets more than half a crop. on the
other hand, Missouri crop news is much
better. The trade was something of a
surprise considering the news
Outsiders purchases not being on a
plane proportiOnate TO professional buy
ing. Later in the session Chicago wired
that the trade discredited the official ma
ture of the Illinois report in spite of the
fact that it was officially posed The par
ticular feature of the morning trading
was the lack of commission house buy
ing Liverpool opened sd higher, and
closed 1lsd higher
Realizing towards the close was helped
by Shows statement that the Illinois re-
port gave no general state average, and
that all the good counties were apparent
ly omitted. Bradstreets statement
showed a decrease in the worlds stocks of
GS6000 bushels.

Today will be a legal holiday in Mas

the benefit of customers interested in

New York had little feature and few
stocks varied much in fluctuations.
Some Of the industrial and traction
shares fell off, but there was a good
rally, and as the standard or railroad
shares generally We're steady to firm
the average Of the active stocks showed
slightly better than the close Monday
At opening, the market ignored the I'M
favorable range of London prices, and
first prices generally showed slight i'm
provements. The granger group was
helped by St. Pauls heavy increase in
earnings for the second week of April
and Manhattan stiffened 21a on the
withdrawal of the Metropolitan Street
railway proposition to build the I'M
foreground road. The stock of the lat
ter company was off sharply. Wide
variations in Sugar, Manhattan,
Broc s-yn Transit and METROPOLITAN
caused an unsettled market before
noon. These stocks vibrated to z
points frequently and their feverish-
ress caused a contraction of dealings
in the railways and d lower tendency
of prices, although there was no de-
cided strength at one time in the gran
gers Louisville and Nashville and
Southern preferred. An effort after
noon by the bulls to retrieve the
ground lost did not result with much
success. although some share recoveries
We're made in the street railways. Bust
ness was semi-stagnant, the market
seemingly a waiting one.

IMPORTANT MILK.

[From Experiment Station of Kansas State
Agricultural College.]
Kindness is an efficient aid in in
creasing milk yield and costs moth
ing. The more mixer can make
the COW love him as she loves her
calf, the more milk she will yield to
him. Investigations show that it is
probable that a considerable portion
of the milk is secreted during the
operation of milking, especially the
rich milk which comes last. Abuse
and excitement reduce the secretion
and not only lower the quantity of
milk given, but often lower the per-
centage of butter fat. Kindness and
petting make the COW. contented and
put her nervous system in such con-
dition that the fullest yield is given.
This is not the only cause, but it is
probably chief. cause, of the wide
variation in butter fat sometimes
shown in creamery tests. Hurrying
COWS, running them with dogs, beat
ing them, or speaking roughly to
them will reduce the yield of milk
and per cent. Of butter fat. A
change Of mixers will often lower
the per cent. of butter fat until the
COW becomes fond of the new mixer.

The statements sufficiently sensational to be IN

tact they are statements OF an attorney Tor the de-
tense Nevertheless they promise to give rise to new
developments in the case The conviction OF carter
was pronounced nearly year and hall ago The
court had been in session for four months and had
made Investigations covering Carriers transactions n
connection with harbor Improvements for nearly
fourteen years, and it was after careful deberatlon
upon the evidence the verdict OF guilty was pro-
nounced.
The public will be slow to believe there was any
conspiracy against the accused or that the officers
OF the general staff OF the army would be the accom-
pces OF such conspiracy One feature OF thecase has,
however, been the subject of much comment. De
spite his conviction Carter has been enjoying his lib

the judgment OF the court For that there has
been widespread belief he has strong backing
among men in power at Washington. Thus there ap-

OF the case Certainly there is something extraordin
ary in the situation. II Carter be guilty, why is he
not punished Ii he be not guilty, why is he not

case in open trial would not be displeasng to the
public
