Important Decisions
RIGHTs OF PASSENGERS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

RIGHTS OE PASoEIISIEIS.
Where a railroad permitted person
n a drunken condition to enter us
waiting room, and he used indecent
language, and while armed with knife
made an assault on plaintiff, female
passenger, the company was liable for
manages sustained thereby. But the
husband, who went to the station with
lis wife to assist her in boarding the
rain, without any intention of himself
becoming a passenger, was not entitled
20 recover against the railroad company
ior an assault or indignity sustained by
aim at the hands of such disorderly
person. So Southwestern Rep. CTeXas,
Judge Gaines) 994.
JUDGES-LIABILI
A state statute required a guardian
to execute bond before action and an
other statute provided that if the court
fails to take such bond, or accepts such
sureties as do not satisfy it of their suf-
ficency, the judge so in default and his
sureties shall be liable to the ward for
any damage he may sustain thereby.
Held, that tho the judge is only re-
quired to use reasonable care to ascer-
tain that the Sureties are SUFFICIENT, ne
is absolutely bound to know that surety
of some kind to the bond is actually
taken, and If he accepts bond to which
the signature of the surety has been
affixed under power of attorney not
legally authenticated, he is liable for
resulting damages. 50 Southwestern
Rep. (Kentucky, Judge Hobson) 1887.
HYSICIANS-SKILL REQUIRED.
Plaintiff brought suit against defend
ant, physician and surgeon, to recover
damages for the alleged careless and
negligent treatment of plaintiffs bro
ken and dislocated arm. 1t was held
that the care and skill required of a
physician is not to be measured by that
exercised by Ordinarily skillful and
prudent physicians in that particular
vicinity in treating a like injury" but
by such as is exercised generally by
physicians of ordinary care and skill
in similar communities.
LIBELOUS PUBLICATIONS
In the recent case of Wofford VS..
Meeks, the supreme court OF Alabama
holds that where a libelous publication
is directed against a particular class of
persons, each of the persons composing
the class may maintain a separate ac-
ton therefor upon showing that he is
quently the words were intended to APP
ply to him. Therefore, a newspaper
publication charging the court of coun-
ty commissioners with corruption in
the use of money raised by taxation af-
forded a ground of action by any MEM
Der of the court The opinion shows
that the proposition is not new, but is
supported by the great weight of au-
thirty, tho it is one that is not often
raised. 1t is well established princi-
pie that every one has right to COM
ment upon matters of public interest
and concern, and this rule applies tho
the publication is made to the general
public by means of a newspaper or 9th
erwise. 1t is only when the publisher
goes beyond the limits of fair criticism
that his language passes into the region
of libel at all.

ABOUT STATE ROADS.

 Waterville Resident Thinks It Would Be Well to Finish Those Started. Editor of the Democrat:
 Sir: I see by an article in your issue of yesterday that already the Bucks Hill people are out for a state road. l have no objection to a state road in that district, but I think the ones that have been commenced should be fin- ished before making a commencement on similar road Improvements fn other sections. The town started a state road in Waterville opposite Berbecker x Rowland's factory and worked it as far as Fort hill I hope to see the city take hold and begin right here in Wa terbury and put down a telford road to meet the one at Berbecker & Row. lands, and then start at the terminus of the new road at Fort hill and con tinue it to the town line. This would look like doing things in business way instead of putting patches on diff ferent roads and finishing none. Wa tertown. Thomaston and. NaugatuclS are coming towards us with state roads and 1t seems nothing more than right that we should meet them half way.

BUILDING LINES DESIRABLE.
Would Do Away with Much of the
 Trouble Now Met With.

The establishment of 8 grade, iay- out and building lines for North Main street, South Main street, Hast ana West Main streets, to their boundary lines. seems to be a very desirable thing, and in all probability some such recommendation will be made to the board of aldermen by the board of pub lie works in the near future. Mayor Kilduff has already called attention to the desirability of such action on the part of the city, and considering that these streets are our main thorough fare and are being rapidly built up, it must be plain to everybody that the sooner this is done the better it will be for all parties concerned. Most people build as close as they can to the street and on this account 1t is very difficult to adhere to anything like uni form width in the layout of streets and the establishment of building lines unless all this work is performed be- fore large blocks are erected on theIa. Indeed. there are many who take the ground that it would be move in the right direction to pass an ordinance prohibiting anyone from putting up T house in the city until the street Oh which it was to abutt was laid out and building lines established there for. While this might work hard- ship to few it would be great bene- i fit to the vast majority of people who i buy building lots from land speculators who open streets to suit their own no- ! ton and dispose of the lots to honest citizens. who, after paying for them, | often have to come down handsomely again when the city takes hold of these streets. adopts grades and lay outs and establishes building lines
 How often do you hear q man who
 has been cited before the city boards to be heard relative to grades and lay
 outs, say that when he purchased his lot the owner of the land told him tie street was at grade and that all he had to do was go ahead and build. There are hundreds of cases in Waterbury
 that might be cited where people
 bought lots and put houses on them
 believing that the grade as they found
 it was all right but later learned that
 they had been deceived and had to pay
 anywhere from S100 and upward thai 4 they never figured upon for benefits
 and damages arising from changes
 made necessary in order to have the
 grade of such streets conform to that
 of the public streets that abutt them , and from which the property owners
 have to get sewer. and water conncc
 tions. If the grades and lines were es
 tablished before the lots were dis
 posed of 1t wonld not make any differ ence whether the actual work had beer
 performed or not Those who bu, would do so with their eyes, oDen arf if they wanted to p1It 1In hoIIsas he fore the work was done they could ap ,, ply to the engineer and receive sucl , i information as would enable them t build to q grade that would not caus
 themselves or the city any inconven
 fence when the contemplated improve
 ments became a reality.

SARANfWJ LAKE, N. r, Jan. 17.-If plans now being made are carried out, mining operations will be conducted throughout the Adirondack region on extensive lines this year. An important discovery of lead ore was recently made in the township of Macomb, St. Lawrence county. The Charles H. Bowne company intends to commence operations in the vein early this spring and is confident of carrying them out successfully. Mining experts who have examined the vein pronounce it to be of fine quality of lead. At Worthwhile, Fulton county, company is engaged in separating gold from the sand which abounds there.

Will Open Tomorrow Night With q
 Grab-Bag Sale.
 James E. Phelan, the tea merchant, flor several years located in the Platt block, fl East Main street, is remov- ing to 42 East Main street, just across the way from the old stand, and will have grand opening there tomorrow night. The new store has undergone a thorough renovation not the least no- ticeable of the improvements being the handsome metal ceilings, is seventy feet deep and sixteen feet wide, and while not quite as large as the one he Is yacating, will give him more room for his customers, and he says he knows he will need the additional space outside the counter, for soa,e- thing seems to be telling him that he will do even better in his new quarters than he ever did in the old. The Jap anese scenery has arrived and is being placed in position today. Mir Pheian says that the death of Ii Hung Chang, with whom he had an acquaintance extending over period of twenty years, put him to considerable trouble in getting the scenery, for the mikado wanted to ship the order to a New York firm and yielded only when he learned he was likely to get himself into hot water if he persisted in refus- ing to make good the governments order. One of tile principal attractions at the opening tomorrow night will be the grabbing sale, which will afford all purchasers an opportunity to secure a present that will be both ornamental and useful. Mir Phelan says he wants every man, woman and child in Water bury and the surrounding towns to give him a call at his new store.

THE PROFESSIONAL BEGGAR
Waterbury Seems to Have Super
 abundance of Them.


 Waterbury, especially the Brooklyn district, is at the present time the stamping ground of vagrant cripples or all kinds and descriptions. For the past few days number of men, who are minus an arm, a leg, or are dear . or blind or both, have arrived in this city and may be seen about the streets at every corner with their little tin cup or their hat in their hand to hold the pennies which they expect to receive. Others have cards on which are in- scribed words to the effect that they are deaf or blind and telling how they became thus. This class generally wander from house to house and pre- sent the cards to the people in them. Others need no card, for they have sleek tongue and can tell an eloquent story of their hardships and trials. Some have their little hand organs, from which music which is more or less harmonious is poured forth.
 Some of these cripples, perhaps. are deserving of aid: others gre worthy of no aid whatsoever Their stories are false and they are fakes. They get a. few cents by their yagrant methods and then they have q good time. There are many people who, though pitying and sympathizing with these unfortunate cripples, do not think that they should be permitted fo 20 about the public streets seeking and begging aims. This may seem hard, but when one looks at it right 1t looks as if it would be the proper thing to forbid them to beg on the public thoroughfares. Where these cripples come from is unknown. They arrive quietly in town and disappear quietly.
 Within the past few days there have been a number of these cripples doing the Brooklyn district. On Wednesday there was a person with an injured arm who wanted only few cents so as to purchase q ticket for Philadel' phia. Yesterday there was one who had lost leg. He wished to secure money enough to buy an artificial limb. To-day there were three more making the rounds of Bank street al The same time The first had only one leg and of course he also wanted ar artificial limb. Officer Briekel gave him a few minutes notice to quit thai section of the city and he did me other two travelled together, one being blind the other having an artificial leg The blind man is said to live i'll Hol yoke, where he has wife ana sl2 children. He has made practice ol coming to Waterbury once year fol the past ten years.
 It appears. perhaps, cruel to sal much against these cripples, but people do not like to meet them on every cor ner as they are out shopping. The, sympathize with them, but at the sam time they think that they should be il institutions which have been founded for such people as they. Again, t9ef are so many fakirs and one reads s, often of how poor beggar has beer discovered as being well off and own ing considerable property that per son's sympathies become rather hard ened against them.
