THE see-saw between judges and jurors
in that famous Jersey City damage case,
in which Judge Gummere raised such a
furore by his celebrated dictum that a
child's life was only worth dollar to the
parents, promises to be continued. For
the fourth time the Supreme Court has set
aside verdict against the defendant rail
road corporation and the persistent lawyer
who has the plaintiffs case in charge says
he will try it again. It cannot be that
sheer stubbornness has impelled juries to
continue to bring in verdicts for the
plaintiff in this case after the Supreme
Court has declared that the verdicts
should not stand. There must be intrin-
sic merit in the claim for damages to war
rant the unanimity Of the findings by the
different iuries, and the latest action of the
higher tribunal is hardly likely to change
the status of the case when it again comes
up for trial. But SO long as the Supreme
Court holds that there is no ground for
damages in the case it is difficult to see
how the plaintiff is to derive any tangi-
BILE benefit from another trial of the much
tried issue. The Jury is supposed to be
the judge of the facts, but in this case the
Supreme Court seems to have come very
near to the assumption of that prerogative
as well as interpreting and applying the
law to the undoing of the jury's work

ONE of the Freeholders in advancing the
purchase of two toll roads argued that it
was for the benefit of the travellers who
yearly are compelled to pay large sums
for toll Yet it was singular fact that
all the lobbying on the question of pur-
chase was done by the bondholders of the
roads to be purchased. 1t would be more
to the point If the people owning these
antiquated relics were compelled to keep
them in proper shape or else relinquish
them without cost to the county. In Mon
mouth county one of these toll roads has
Just been abandoned. There was an eff
fort to get the Freeholders to buy the
road, but the promoters of the scheme did
not have as easy thing of it as those in
this county, and the Board refused to ex-
pend the county's money in the desired
way. Hence the owners of the road see
ing it meant expenditure from their own
pockets TO keep the road in good shape or
utter abandonment. took the latter course.

PROPOSED TUNNEL,
EUROPE TO AFRICA
Berlier Believes His Plans
Are Entirely Feasible.
IT WILL COST s23, OOO,O 900

French Engineer Proposes to Connect
the Dark Continent With the Old
World by Passage Under the Strait
of GibFaltar-Plans Outlined.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The state de-
partment has received a report convey
ing further information as to the pro-
posed tunnel from Europe to Africa I'M
der the Strait of Gibraltar, from George
H. Murphy, consular clerk at Magde-
berg, Germany.
M. Berlier, the French engineer, who
has submitted the proposal of his project
to the governments of Spain and Mo-
rocco, is said to have perfect confidence
in the feasibility of the plan, holding
that it presents no greater obstacles than
were encountered III the building of the
tunnels of the Mont GEMS, ST. Gotthard
and Arlberg. On the other hand, Mr..
Murphy states that the ventilation of a
submarine tunnel, and a removal of the
constantly accommodating water are very
formidable and expensive obstacles to
be dealt with. Nevertheless, Mr.. Ber-
4ACI OCAlCNCo U4ASlU Ny a oCClCU pIONCoo VI
his own he can grapple with these diff
culties and keep the cost of the work at
a figure not exceeding that required in
the enterprises at St. Gotthard and Arl-
berg, or symptom. By working simulta-
neously from both ends of the tunnel he
believes the date Of completion could be
safely placed at 1907.
The proposed length of the tunnel is
% miles, 20 miles of this under the sea.
Railway connection in Europe is planned
by means of line following the Span.
ish coast and passing through Tarifa
and Algeciras into France. In Morocco
line would be constructed from Tan
gier, connecting with the railway sys-
tenn at Liemeen. The entire cost of the
tunnel alone is Appropriated at over
$23, 900, 900, and of the entire connecting
line between Spain and Algiers at about
$43. 5000
The French press is said to criticize
the project unfavorably, on the ground
that M. Berlier has overestimated the
earning power of the road, and that it
seems hardly credible that the passen-
ger and freight traffic between France
and Algiers could be diverted to this in
direct and expensive route.

FIRE BURNS 20 BUILDINGS
Supposed to Have Been Started b,
Burglars-LOss $25O,OOO

Supposed to Have Been Started by
Burglars-Loss $3.50, 900.
PADUCAH, KY, Dec. Fulton was
visited by fire early today that de-
stroyed 20 establishments and caused a
loss of $3.50, 900.
The blaze originated in the Kirk dry
goods store and is supposed to have been
started by burglars.
The fire destroyed the Kirk drygoods
store, postofice, opera house, Meadows
hotel and all the other buildings in the
block, the largest in Fulton. During
the fire there were fully half a dozen
burglaries.
Boyd Reid of Paducah jumped from
a third story window and was perhaps
fatally hurt. The fire plugs would not
work and garden hose and buckets were
used
