belonged to two families, the Roberts

between these families which was OF

UP TO WENDT
Frank Davey, of this city, was in
Cleveland, Friday night, when Tom
jenkins had his great match with Jim
Pnrr, and at which Otto Wendt also
appeared and won one of the prclim-
inarles. Davey caused n challenge to
be Issued, for match with Wendt,
from the ringside. This was not only
an answer to the challenge made here
by Mark Lamb, when Davey and Jack
Burke wrcstled, hut was also evidence
that the Akron man Is acting In good
faith. Davey has tried for long
time to make a match with Wendt.
but 1t seems that he has been unfor-
tunate, This time, however, the
ground Is so well covered by challenges
that Wendt must either accept or
simply back down.

Heavy Damages,

A verdict for 500, 900 given against
the New York Central railway is said
to be the largest on record in suit
for damages because Of death. The
plaintiff is Mrs, Jennie Legs who sued
the road Cn account Of the death OF
her husband in the celebrated Park
avenue tunnel wreck nearly year ago.
The $1,000 carries interest from the
date Of the accident, and to that is to
be added $4,000 for counsel fees,
amounting in all to about 100000
One of the attorneys for Mrs. Legs
stated that THE only other verdict
that compared with this one was that
rendered by an English jury in favor
Of the heirs Of DR., Philips, who was
skilled in an accident and whose fami-
ly got s14,000. Not long ago a west
ern jury in this country gave the VIC
tim Of severe injuries $4,000 and
often victims appearing in the British
courts have received large damages
for their own hurts, but it is unpre-
cedenGed for the heirs Of dead man
to get so much.n In this case the
railroad com pany admitted its liability
and the only question was as to the
amount. The New York Times says
that up to the present time the
Park avenue tunnel disaster has re-
suited in verdictS aggregating more
than 100000 against the New York
Central railroad. Among the amounts
awarded were 100000 to Henry G.
Dimon, $4,000 to E. c. Hinsaale,
s2S, 500 to Winifred Stutz, $4,000 to
Oscar Meyrowitz, SlS,500 to Peter

Wants kissing stopped

kissing VIII be made misdemeanor
in Virginia punishable with a fine, II
a bill offered in the house Of delegates
Thursday, becomes law. The uni
que measure of (which DR.. r. B. Ware,
the member from Amherst, who is
physician Of splendid reputation, is
the patron, is designed to prevent
promiscuous kissing, but it might
easily be constructed to stand as a
barrier between husband and wife, or
even lover and sweetheart. In order
to enjoy the right to kiss one must
prove by his family physician that he
has no contagious or infectious disease.
The interesting inquiry is, who will
inform on the kisser. It is not thought
for moment that any chiValrous
Virginian will take the liberty OF be-
slowing a kiss where there is real OBJ
lection, or in the presence OF one who
would give away the secret. Hence
the law would be imperative, if en-
acted.

4 Fiend'S Work.

4 iynching was avoided only by the
exercise Of abundant precautionary
measures by city and county authori-

to assault the 6 year-old daughter OF
a prominent Broad street merchant,
but cloak of darkness was so closely
about the crime that not the
faintest suspicion Of it leaked
out until the negro, Miles
Johnson. had been spirited out OF
the city. City Detective Williams
was near the scene at the time and
took the negro to the barracks in a
hack. Fearing that the story might
possibly leak out Chief Norris i'm
me6iately turned the prisoner over to
Judge Eve, to be sent to Savannah
for safe keeping. Four hours the
negro was confined in jail but the
secret was so closely guarded that not
even the members of the police force
knew Of the crime until the criminal
was well cut Of the city.
