SALooNKEEPER LIABLE.
Damages Awarded the Family OF q Nan
Who Was Killed by-an Accident Caused
by His Being Drunk

St Louis, July 3O.-According to a
decision of the United States court
of appeals, which affirmed the judg-
ment for plaintiffs of the federal cir
cult court of Nebraska, a saloon
keeper may be held responsible for
the death of a patron of his place in
the event that death occurs from
an accident resulting from the in
ebriated condition of the patron. The
suit was fled by the widow and
daughter of Charles Walker against
John MOser and others, who were
engaged in the saloon business at
Ashland, Neb. Plaintiffs charge that
Charles Walker on February z, 1900,
drank intOXicants to excess at
MOser's saloon and in consequence
was thrown from a buggy and killed.
A verdict giving plaintiffs damages
was appealed.

EDWARDS CORONATION.
Approximations That the King WOuid Not
Be Able to Stand the Strain on Au-
gust Greatly Lessened-

London, July 3O.-The latest and
most reliable information indicates
that King Edwards doctors were not
mistaken IN fixing August 9 as the
date upon which his majesty could
be crowned. The sinister rumors
which have Pervaded all classes for
the last few days now appear to have
lost that sembIanee of probability
which made even the members OF
the cabinet nervous lest another
POstPOnement Of the coronation
might be necessitated. The appre-
hensiOn that King Edward would be
unable to stand the strain Of the
coronation ceremony has been great
" lessened by the announcement
that his majesty is now permitted
to use his feet and, with the aid of
a stick, has done a little walking.
Another late telegram from COwes
saying that nearly all the restric-
tons upon the kings diet have been
withdrawn, has been welcomed as
evidence that the recent OminOus de-
auctions were drawn without due
allowance for the Doctors, extreme
caUtiOusness.
