professional services rendered by
plaintiff upon the request Of con-
ductor OF the defendant company.
There was a Judgment for plaintiff and
the company appealed.
The facts are shown in the opinion
OF the court.
The court says:
This action Is to recover for profess
sional services. On August 20, 1885, the
defendants freight train ran into q
washout on the road about 2:30 o'clock
a m. A few cars passed over the
washout, but seven cars in the middle
of the train went down, on which were
some 'trespassers,-men stealing ride.
The occurrence was quarter of n mile
from Gastonia, a station on the de-
tendants road. On the arrival at the
station the conductor and engineer en-
gagged the plaintiffs services to treat
the injuries of some of the trespassers.
AT O'Clock a. M, after the services
were rendered. the station agent, In re-
Spouse to an inquiry received from the
superintendent from the defendants
road at Charlotte, N c., twenty miles
away, received the following: Sur
geons should understand we will not
bear any expense in connection with
injured tramps. i(Signed) Rider, STU
Derintendent." This Is not ques-
ton of negligence on the part of the
defendant in causing the injury. but a
question of the conductors authority
to employ the plaintiffs at the defend
ants expense. under the circumstances
The conductor has no authority to-
make contracts binding on his employ
er, outside of the scope of his employ
ment. unless express authority Is given
or necessarily implied from his employ
ment. There are some emergency in
stances in which the conductor may
engage 2 physician to nurse the de-
PENDANTS servants or passengers, when
Injured, but as to trespassers on the
defendant's road no such authority is
found to exist. The subject is consid-
cred at length, and numerous authori-
ties cited, in Rap. Dig, and in Hans
com v. Railway Co. These cases hold
against the right of the plaintiffs to re-
cover in this case. Nothing in the
record dscloses the conductors au-
thority to bind his employer, upon the
facts agreed and presented to this
court. Judgment reversed.

He constructed the floor first and then
stood on II and nailed up the side boards
from the inside. After he had finished
the work to his satisfaction he found
that he had left no place by which he
could get out, the only opening in the
coop being all right for a chicken, but
hardly large enough for a man. The coop
was uncovered, but he could not climb up
the sides and he was not able to pry OF
any OF the boards with his hammer, so
he had to shout for help. After the neigh
Dor who had heard his cries had finished
laughing he demolished part OF the coop
and the builder was set at liberty.

CAPTAIN SHUFELDTS TRIAL.
The Military Court Rejects the Plea
of Observation-Disclosures.

The trial by court martial of Capt. Rob-
ert w Shufeldt, for conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman, was continued yes
terday morning at Washington Barracks.
The charges and specifications in the case
we're that the retired officer, in defiance OF
the order OF a Maryland court. refused to
Pay alimony to his divorced wife, Florence
Audubon. and that he refused to place
himself within the Jurisdiction of said
court when so ordered by the proper au-
thorities of the army.
Upon the reopening OF the court, Alexan-
der Wolf was introduced as co-counsel
with Col. John T. Devices for Captain Shu-
feldt Counsel for the accused submitted a
plea against the jurisdiction OF the military
court in the case. arguing that even If the
alimony was unpaid the order of the civil
court must be enforced by the civil author
tiles. Captain Baughton, Judge Advocate,
stated that the court was aware that II had
been the practice OF the War Department
to hold officers strictly accountable for
their just debts. and that in number of
instances courts martial had been ordered
for the trial OF infraetors of this rule. THE
accused admits a lawful debt. one which it
is in the power of the Judge advocate to
show he has evaded in manner not hon
orable in Law. and certainly not in the
army In regard TO the specification Of the
violation of an oath. II is unnecessary for
me 10 say what the army considers such an
act
Mr.. Wolf made an objection TO the words
OF the judge advocate, ''the accused admits
a lawful debt" saying that there was
great difference in Law between a debt"
and lawful debt" and that. further, the
specifications did not show that the civil
endeavor to compel payment, but that it
simply charged contempt.
Captain Baughton replied that the pur-
pose OF the court martial was TO compel the
defendant to live up TO the standard Of the
army, and that il the acts of the defendant
were scheduled in the Articles of War as
crimes, then the military authorities had
full power TO act in trial and judgment
The court martial then announced that
the plea was overruled. and further one
was submitted in abatement of trial. that
an action growing out of the divorce suit
was now before the Supreme Court and
that its results might be affected by the
court martial. and further. still, that he
had been discharged in bankruptcy.
To this plea the Judge advocate said that
the court was aware Of the proceedings In
bankruptcy while the accused was being
paid s175 month by the Government In
order that he might live as an honorable
gentleman: that he had been accused OF
regulating the debt contracted by the or
der OF the Maryland court. Considerable
legal argument followed. and the court adj
journed until this morning at IL o'clock.
