Articles Whose Value the Sportsman
Can Best Appreciate.

Local sportsmen have been much in
terested in the 'ttrinity of necessities
just sent E. Percy Palmer from the
east, and the value Of which a sports
man alone can appreciate.
One Of the articles in question is a
safety pocket axe, light enough and
small enough to carry in the hip or
coat pocket, and heavy and large
enough to provide wood for the camp
fire, fell a large tree for a bridge, cut
gambrel sticks or poles, or blaze a path
through the woods.
Next is an automatic gaff hook, which
closes instantly and securely upon any
thing it touches. and will handle any
thing from a pound to fifty pounds in
weight. Last is a waterproof match
box that will absolutely protect its con.
fonts from moisture, thought immers-

THROWN FROM A TRAIN.
Allegations of Wallace Groom in q
Railroad Damage Case.

A suit against the Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago & ST. Louis Railway Company was
yesterday brought in the Superior Court
by Wallace Groom, who seeks to recover
5000 on account of personal injuries re-
ceived at the hands of one OF the COM
pany's employees on May last The plain
tiff says that on that date, between the
hours Of and o'clock a. m, he boarded
one of the defendant company's trains, IN
company with Thomas Blue, who is now
dead They boarded the train at point
somewhere between Meridian and Pennsyl-.
vania streets, in this city, for the purpose
of going to Louisville by the way of
Greensburg.
The plaintiff AYERS that while they were
on the platform one of the company's en-
ployes struck Blue over the head, violently
pushing him against the plaintiff, who was
knocked from the train. The plaintiff says
that he was thrown against the car of
train going westward and his left leg was
broken, in addition to other injuries re-
ceived. 1t is claimed by the plaintiff that
the company's employe did not demand a
ticket when plaintiff and his companion
boarded the car, nor did he indicate until
the act complained of that the two men
were undesirable passengers. Groom was
taken TO the City Hospital after he was
injured, he says. He AYERS that before this
happened he was a strong and hearty man,
but is now unable to work and make a
living.

CHECK FOR A GOOD SUM


A peculiar thing happened at the Den
ison yesterday by which Senator T. II.
Johnson, Of Dunkirk, will be s59i4 richer
without being aware of 1t until he returns
to this city. Yesterday a guest in one of
the rooms came to the office and told
Earl Bonneville that in cleaning out a
dresser drawer he had found an old letter
addressed to "Hon. T. III. Johnson" and
dated Feb. p, 1899.
Bonneville looked at it and said: ooh
yes, Senator Johnson had that room last
winter and probably left the letter be.
hind when he went home. You might just
as well tear ii UP for he won't probably
care for il any more"
"Oh but there's a check in it." replied
the guest, handing 1T to Bonneville The
latter opened the envelope and took out
the letter, which proved TO be from the
First National Bank of Dunkirk, enclosing
the check for $59.4i. 'lS
Everyone around the hotel is wondering
how much money Senator Johnson is worth
that he could lose a check of that size
without reporting 1t or making any ef-
fort to find Ii.

THE DUTIES OF A WIFE
ARE DEFINED TO SOME EXTENT IN
THE SUPERIOR COURT.
The Woman Not Supposed to Attend to
Gas Leaks, Etc.-The Dental Law
Case-Other Matters.

In granting a new trial yesterday in the
suit of Cornelia Beard against the Indian
apols Gas Company, Judge Carter, of the
Superior Court, had something to say about
the duties of a wife. Mrs. Beard was the
victim of a natural gas explosion which
occurred on old Fifteenth street, near
Broadway, on the night of May 1s, 1897.
Mrs. Beard, with her husband. Walter
Beard, and her brother-in-law, Arthur
Beard, were in the house when it was
wrecked All were injured and all brought
suits against the Indianapolis Gas Compa-
ny for damages.
Arthur Boards suit was tried first and
the jury awarded him s., 900 damages. Mrs.
Cornela Boards case was tried some time
ago and to the surprise of many who had
watched the other case, the jury brought
in a verdict for the gas company Attor-
ney z. w. Bartholomew, acting for the
plaintiff. at once flied a motion for new
trial and the motion was yesterday sus-
tanned by the court.
Judge Carter said that after the verdict
was brought in against Mrs. Beard he
got to thinking about a particular para
graph in his instructions which, in a meas
o. d WIle. IL dp-
peared from the evidence that Mrs. Beard,
when the explosion took place, cried to
her husband that she had told about that
gas leak" The jury seemed to have gath
cred from the courts instructions that
Mrs. Beard. knowing that there was a
gas leak in the house. should have gone
to the company's Office and reported it
instead of depending upon her husband to
look after the matter. Judge Carter said
that in thinking the matter over he came
to the conclusion that this was demanding
too much of the wife. He reached the con-
clusion. he said, that long as there
was a husband to look after the household
1t was not the duty of the wife to attend
to business that might come up with the
gas company. Having called her husbands
attention TO the leak, the court thought
that her duties ended there and 1t ought
not to be said that she was guilty of neg
iigence reprehensible enough TO prejudice
the jury against her. The case will be
tried again unless a settlement is made.
The suit of Walter Beard has not yet been
brought to trial.
