the sum Of three thousand dollars for
personal injuries received through the
negligence of the defendant. Both plain
titf and defendant were In the employ OF
Blackstone and Smith, and on the day in
question, April II, were doing some ma
son work at the corner OF Pine and
Vaughan streets. The defendant was EN-
ployed as a mason and the plaintiff as
tender. 1t became necessary in the course
of the work to move stone weighing
about l2C0 pounds acfoss a ditch about
six feet wide. 10 do this, four plank ten
inches wide and two inches thick were
placed across the ditch over which the
stone was 10 be rolled. The defendant
and another man pried the stone up until
1t was nearly on its edge, and then or
dered the plaintiff and an Italian to hold
it as 1t came to the balancing point to
keep 1t from tipping over; but for some
reason they failed to do this, and the
stone fell. breaking the planks and
throwing them all into the ditch The
plaintiff right leg was severely injured
and ne was taken to the hospital where
he remained for some time.
After the testimony was all in. and the
arguments had been made, the Court
ruled as matter OF law that the plaintiff
could not recover, on the ground that
there was no evidence in the case on
which verdict for plaintiff could be
based, it appearing from the plaintiff 3
own testimony that he knew all the cir
oumstances and conditions, and was one
OF the men who allowed the stone to fall.
The plaintiff excepted to this ruling.
Symonds. snow and Cook for the de-
fendant.

COMPROMISE THE DIFFICULTY.

We would suggest to the city council and the school board that they "get together" and adjust their differences. It is not seemly, this constant wrangug and quibblihg. We believe that if the respective bodies will be fair and reasonable an amicable understanding can be reached We assume that the school board is not at all anxious to in the construction of any new school houses; that the accommodations which the building will provide will be ample for some time to must be manifest to the board. With the new structure com p!eted and paid for and ample provision made for the support and maintenance of the schools, there should be substantial balance remain, which should be covered into the municipal treasury. Let the school board make liberal estimate of the amount aeeded for school purposes snd let the bal be used by the city. We believe that this plan would meet with public approval
 A small, isolated community such as this should be free from jars and jangling possible. There fore it is that we counsel the cultivation of amicable relations, especially between duly constituted public bodies The trouble with many people is that they talk and act like children, instead of like those who have reached the age of discretion.

A VOICE FROM THE LONG AGO.

A friend of the NUGGET has shown copy of the Baltimore American in which is published the story of its career, together with fac-simile of its first issue, which appeared in 1773. The editor of 1773 seems to have had troubles of his own, just the as the editors of modern times. He sets forth with the emphasis of italics the difficulties that con- . fronted him. In the first place it not easy to obtain "a proper assortment of printing material and an adequate number of subscribers to defray the , charge of printing" In the next place it was diff cult to get news, for he said: Tt is impractcable to print such paper would suit this part of the country without establishing Rider from Baltimore to Philadelphia to set out from the last mentioned place on Monday morning and arrive here Tues day evening"" Not being able at the time to provide for that service, he started his paper with promise to his patrons that he would supply them with live ahead of the kings post as soon as he received support that justified the expense.
 As for the policy of the paper, the editor an- nounces: q shall always publish with pleasure whatever is sent me in favor of Liberty and the Rights of Mankind provided the language be decent and compatible with good government, but am re- solved that my paper shall be Free and of Party" The editor did say that he proposed to fill long,
 felt want but he remarked that he made the venture 'byreeson,of Encouragement" received from "many /; gentlemen.", iEhnally he says: Having entered . upon very arduous and expensive undertaking, must earnestly entreat the immediate assistance of every subscriber in advancing the entrance money agreeable to contract" Evidently the entrance money" forthcoming, for the was started and the Baltimore paper has been in it and up with ] the leaders since.
 There must have been much more local news in and around Baltimore than, say, in Nome. in the stormy days of l77 but the editor did not pay much attention to it. However, he gave space to this item: "A few weeks ago large rattesnake was killed on gontleman's plantation in the neighbor- ; hood of the town in the belly of which found three mddesized rabbits. The snake had 10 rattles and was supposed to be about IS years old" The rest of the paper is taken up with essays, pleasing anecdotes, few advertisements and long address : from bishop to an earl on the sin of dueling
 most interesting feature of the paper is an an- neuncement by George Washington, of Mount Vernon, r that he had patented 10000 acres of land on the : Ohio and the Great Kanawha, and was prepared to ; subdivde it and let it in tracts to suit tenants Washington good real estate boomer. for he did hesitate to pay for space enough to advertise the Z lands. An advertisement offers reward of ten pounds for the apprehension of "a runaway Irish servant man named Owen McCarty, about 45 years of age. It is to be hoped that McCarty was as suc cessful in making good his escape the editor of the Baltimore paper in establishing it on an endur ing basis

Nome has had another election in its eventful and checkered history. The men elected are good citizens and will, doubt, be acquisition to the council board. The defeated were also good men, and, under the circumstances, all made good fight, and there should be no regrets It's not worth while. Nothing gained by crying over 'mlk that's spilled" The vote boiled was a surprisingly large one, large in fact, that it gave rise to the picon that considerable repeating" was indulged in. There may have been some. but we scarcely think that it was indulged in to any great extent. How ever, the necessity of having system of registration is emphasized, It is safeguard that cannot be overlooked and is preventive of fraud The Alaska code we told contains provision for the pun ishment of who abuse the franchise. We suppose not; the sapient sapheads who fabricated the thing cared very little what they gave us in the shape of laws; so they cannot be expected to how often we vote when we get the opportunity.

We are sorry to think that there is man in Nome so base to steal the private letters of the
 judge of the district court from his private It is outrage upon decency, without justification of any kind It is act of petit larceny that many a poor miserable degraded sneak thief would blush to commit. The community which harbors such a miscreant is to be commserated. There can be only one conclusion reached as to the motive. The theft of the letters made with the sole idea of securing something that might be used against Judge Wicker sham It will fail of its object, however and the puny puslanmous thief will only have added an- other crime to his list There is not citizen of Nome or Northwestern Alaska worthy of the name who will not uhesitatingly condemn in the strongest terms the act of pilfering highbnder.
