LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.
His Duties Rigidly Defined by the
Supreme Court of Missouri.

"Au engineer on duty has no
right TO administer a well-merited
rebuke to foolhardy boys who hap
pen to be standing dangerously
close 10 the tram. This reason
ing is approved by the Supreme
Court of Missouri in the action of
Livingston vs.. the Wabash Rail-
road, a Macon county case, the
opinion having reached here today
The reason for the drastic rule is,
that harm might occur if an engi-
neer, even for an instant, suffered
his eyes to be diverted from straight
ahead,
In this case Myrtle Livingston,
"A 3 ID year old girl, was run over
and killed by a Lorthbound train
at defendants station here March
2S, 1896. AS Engineer William
Ross, one Of the oldest and best on
the road, was pulling his train
into the yards, he was compelled
to sound the danger whistle to
warn some young men from the
track. The noise frightened the
girl, who ran diagonally across the
latform and jumped on the rails a
few feet ahead of the train AS
the engineer approached the boys
held to their dangerous position,
aud he was compelled TO put his
air in the emergency" The
speed was checked from twenty TO
six miles an hour The young
men left the rails just as the loco
motive reached them, and as the
engineer passed he turned his head
toward them, and said ITS a
wonder you fellows wouldn't get
off the track !" AT almost the
same instant the little girl jumped
on the track and her head was
severed from the body.
The ,engineer never saw her at
any time, but when told of the ac-
cident, got down and removed the
little corpse from the rails and
carried it over TO the mother. The
Jury were instructed that il Mt the
time he discovered her on the
track, or could have discovered her
on the track, the engineer could
MOI have stopped the train, they
must find for the defendant. The
jury so found, and plaintiff, the
girls father, appealed.
The Supreme court, in reversing
the case, says it was question for
the jury to say whether the engi'
neer could not have stopped his
train if, instead Of yielding to the
impulse to rebuke the boys on th'
track, he had kept his eyes ahead
and seen the little girl before sh'

GIFT FROM THE KAISER.
Emperor William Will Present United
m States Monument of Frederick
the Great.

Wiesbaden, Hesse-Nassau, May IL
The German emperor, Wednesday
May IA, telegraphed as follows to the
president of the United States, al
Washington:
Il am still under the deep impress
sion caused by the splendid and cor
dial reception of my brother, Prince
Henry, by the citizens Of the United
States Of America. In the speeches
with which he was greeted the fact
was often mentioned that my ances
tor, Frederick the Great, maintained
a friendly attitude towards the young
American republic during the course
of her formation, thereby laying the
corner stone of the friendly relations
which have always existed between
our two countries. The example set
to me by the great king | intend to
follow.
Il wish to commemorate the visit
Of Prince Henry by a gift to the peo
pie of America, which I request you
to accept in their name. l intend to
present statue, in bronze, of Fred
prick the Great, to the United States
to be erected in Washington, on q
place which you will kindly choose
May this gift be looked upon as q
lasting sign of the intimate relations
which have been successfully fos-
tered and developed between our two
great nations.
Signed) William, I. R."
President Roosevelt replied, Thurs
day, May Is, thanking Emperor vii
liam heartily, in the name of the
United States, and saying he would
lay the matter before congress imme
diately.
After giving the matter attention
the president concluded that no &C
ton by congress was necessary, and
that as Frederick was a great com
mander 1t would be most appropriate
to place the statue adjacent to the
new war college to be established in
Washington. The college is 10 be
