Gen. Chas. Dick might proiitably
devote a portion of his time between
now and the opening of Congress to
getting after some certain Nineteenth
District Republican with a stick hav-
ing long, sharp point. That certain
Republican aforesaid is responsible
for the following in the Columbus Dis
patch:
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Sir: A Republican organ announces
that ''some of the good friends of
Chairman Dick are touting him as a
candidate for Governor two years
hence" etc. We believe that Chair
man Dick aspires to this position and
through his friends is urging the mat
ter along, right conceded to every
loyal Republican. 1t Is quite true that
Mr.. Dick has been very fortunate In
his past political aspirations. Condi-
tions were such as to bring about
these results, but as time wears
away we are confident that 1t viii be
iouiu thNiN aiN stiobStI van
dldates for this position than he in
the state. He has endeavored to as
sumo a dictatorship that has not met
with favor. At home he put up a
strong fight to defeat Representative
McKinnon, of Ashtabula, for ren0m-
ination for third term to State Leg
islature and while Mr.. Henry Means
of Geneva, o., the opposing candidate,
was very popular man, yet the fact
that Mr.. Dick was backing him
caused his defeat in the county con-
vention two to one. Today General
Dick would have n very difficult task
to get the Ashtabula county delega-
tion to renominute him for Congress
and the writer Is willing to wager
odds that should Hon. 7. E. Burton
or any other good northern Ohio Re-
publican he candidate for Governor
that Chairman Dick would not have
many delegates from his own Con-
gresslonal district TO support him.

Given Judgment
For $4,000.
Result of the Third Trial
In the Case.
Former Verdicts Set Aside by
Circuit Court.

The jury in the case of Rigby VS..
the Northern Ohio Railroad Co., rem
dered a verdict Monday afternoon for
the plaintiif, giving him judgment
against the company for $1,000. He
asked for $15,500.
Few court cases have attracted more
attention locally. Twice the plaintiff,
Seth S. Rigby, was awarded Judgment
in Common Pleas court, put the ver-
diets were set aside by the Circuit
court, which held that the facts did
not Justify the suit. a third trial was
obtained, final arguments in which
were completed Saturday. Judge koh-
lcr charged the jury Monday morning.
The trial just concluded occupied 10
days. Shortly after the trial began, n
recess was granted during which the
plaintiff filed an amended petition in
Producing an entirely new feature into
the case, and some new testimony was
also obtained by the defense.
The accident in which Mr.. Rigby re-
ccived the injuries for which he asked
damages occurred at Delphos the West
ern terminus Of the Northern Ohio,
Dec. /, 1895. At that time Mr.. Rigby
was living at Delphos, but not long
afterward he removed to Akron. He
now resides at 49, Pearl St, and is
employed at the plant of the Whitman
Il Barnes Co. The accident was the
result of an explosion in the hot water
heating apparatus of car, due to
ing to tlaw out He was then foreman
of repair gang and subject to the
orders of the master mechanic. The
contentious III the case involved many
technicalities, but these were partic-
ularly well understood by the attorneys
on both sides, AS the same counsel re.
tanned in the beginning Of the suit
have been with it ever since. The
plaintiff is represented by Edwin +.
Voris and Charles Baird, and the de-
fendant by Tibbals & Frank.
Mr.. Rigby spent several hours In try
ing to thaw the pipes with a steam
hose attached to boiler in the engine
house. Failing in this, he is alleged
to have built fire in the heater. Mr..
Rigby also claims to have removed
the pressure gauge and also the safety
valve some time prior to the day OF
the accident, in accordance with in.
structions given him by the master me-
chanic. In place of the safety valve
he inserted plug, and claimed that
under this condition he had no means
of knowing or regulating the amount
of steam in the pipes. He also con-
tended that the circulating drum on
the roof of the car had become weak
ened by long use and the disintegrat-
ing effect of hard water so that it
was unable to stand much pressure.
The explosion hurled fragments
through the roof of the car, and these
striking Mr.. Rlgby caused his injuries.
One of his arms was broken and shat
tered and he was otherwise hurt. He
was unable to work for four months,
and claims to have been permanently
injured so that he has never been able
since to perform the amount of work
done by an ordinary man, suffering
much from headaches and other ills
resultant from the shock to his nervous
system.
The Railroad Co. claimed that it
was reckless and very dangerous for
Mr.. Rigby to build fire in the heater,

John Brooks Leavitt, who represent
ed the Standard Oil company, did not
dispute the gravity of the injuries or
the manner in which they were 'sus-
tained but he contended the fault
was not the corporations, but the faith
er's, he having sent the boy into the
asbestos room, where he had never
been. He argued that this was an
unusual place for workman to hang
his coat and, moreover, Sammis had
no permission to hang his coat there.
The sight of the boy on the chair
was, however, more effective than all
Mr.. Leavitt's reasoning, and the jury
was not long in finding against the
company and for the boy.

A FATAL FISHING TRIP.

Georgia Cracker (Gainesville): James
Mullineaux, aged % years, and Charles
Samples. rs years old, brothers-in-law and
tenant farmers, were drowned in the
Chattahoochee river, just above Pixies
ferry, Tuesday evening of last week about
O'Clock. Both men, so it is alleged,
were drinking, and, procuring a boat and
inviting an unknown negro boy living in
Cumming to accompany them, padded
out upon the river to set traut line. II
is not known exactly how the accident
occurred, the only living witness, the ne
gro, having been too badly frightened
when the boat capsized to be able to re-
call any of the incidents of the fatality.
The negro was so badly frightened that
he ran all the way to Cumming. Being
brought back that night, he told the story
and pointed out the spot where the boat
overturned Both of the drowned men
were superb swimmers, but, when the
boat capsized, Mullineaux sank to the
bottom like a plummet of lead, and his
body was found lying upon the river bot
tom. Samples swan toward the river
bank to which his wife and Henry Shad-
burn had been attracted by his cries of
help. They counseled him to keep afioat
until boat could be procured to come
to his rescue, but for some unaccounta-
Bile reason he turned about when nearly
TO the bank and started for the opposite
shore. When he had swan about fifteen
feet, he. too. went down. his body being
recovered Immediately thereafter. Both
men were married. Mullineaux leaves a
wife and eight children, and Samples a
wife and six children.

THINGS A SHARK WILL EAT.
Tales of Raccoons, Fish and Tin
Cans Told by Florida Fishermen.
From the New York SIM

From the New York Sun.
Punta Rasa, Fla, May 1.-THE capture
of shark here the other day set the
people at the hotel to talking about the
things found in the stomach of sharks.
This is the story of the shark that got
away. Kitchell thought that it was at
least twenty feet in length and he spoke
of it as a blue man-eater, which created
a smile in view of the fact that he was
guessing in the dark. 1t caused also
general discussion on the piazza.
All hands agreed in the first place that
not single instance was known along
the Florida coast where a man had been
eaten, or even bitten by a shark. Hands
had been snapped at when dabbled in the
water from a boat. but the sharks were
voted to be too cowardy to attack
whole man wading or swimming.
Munson told of a big shark caught at
Cocoanut Grove after a slight struggle.
1t had swallowed the bait so completely
that the hook touched vital spot and it
came in practically dead. 1t was nine feet
long and had supped upon a live raccoon,
which 1t had probably snapped from the
roots of a red mangrove while the ami
may was out after coon oysters. The rae
coon was a big one and seemed to have
Deen dedu only lew nOuTS.
Van Horne supplemented this story by
telling about shark which he cut open
at Punta Rasa and which contained thir-
ty-two young sharks, all alive and able
to swim away when put in the water.
This was a case OF man catching thir-
ty-three sharks on one bait
George Schultz told OF the sharks which
gathered at Key West when the trans
ports and soldiers were there. He said
that many OF the fish were caught and
often their stomachs contained little be-
sides empty beef cans which had been
thrown from the ships. In one case a pair
OF suspenders and shoe were found in
the stomach OF big shark. but nobody
suspected that he had swallowed man.
Huddlestone added his quota by telling
OF a 12-foot shark which was Melted off
SanIbel Island last year. He saw II cut
open and can bring able-bodied witnesses
to make affidavit that the stomach Of the
creature contained three full-grown peli-
cans. seven king crabs. or horseshoe
crabs. undiEested. and more than two
bushels OF mullets in various stages OF
decomposition.
John Weber Of Toledo said that he had
seen q shark take in all but the head OF
n 150-pound tsrpon. which was being
reeled IN at Boca Grande. The body OF
the big tsrpon was cut through az II by
\ knife aud It convinced the narrator
that a Boca Grsnde shark could bite a
leg of a man with ease.
After all the other stories were told
shultz modestly remarked that only q
few years ago he saw a shark opened At
Punta Rasa and It's stomach contained
the most indigestible parts OF Florida
steer. He found the horns attached 20
the skull and the hoofs all separated in
the fish. As a Florida steer IA only q
few times larger than a Kansas jack rab-
BIT this story seems quite plausible.
