General Hughes and His Pass.

General Hughes. U. s. A. returned
from the Philippines a couple of weeks
ago on the same transport with General
Funston. says the New York CONNER
cial. General Hughes is somewhat of a
wit and tells a good story of an Incl
lent of his command in the islands.
An Irish volunteer private was acting
as guard ever a captured Spanish store
house and had received orders to pass
no one without a special order from the
provost-marshal of Manila. General
Hughes was provost-marshal at the
time. and when he drew near the store
house. he found his stomach very close
to a triangular Springfield bayonet and
heard in rich Milesian brogue:
Halt! If veZ come a step further III
jam this inter yez!"
why not ?" asked the general.
"Niver moind," said the private. Il
know me orders. IT'S a pass yes must
have from the provost-marshal.'

General Hughes.
""Tis I that don't care IL JaZ be the
president. Devil a foot yell sit inside
here till yez show me yer pass"
The general drew out a blank book
and scrubbed a pass.
The private surveyed ii and passed
General Hughes with a remark:
why didn't yez do that without all
this palaver2"

pany's answer In the 100. 600 suit Of ].
L. Love against b Carolina Central
Railroad Company.
The plaintiff. who was formerly a
brought suit for 800. 900 for alleged in
juries Of a permanent nature received
on the night of December g. 1900. He
was conductor OF a freight train that
was bound for Wilmington and when
ear Cronly. the aboos car broke loose
from the train on a down grade. The
train got considerably ahead Of the ca
bose and stopped for it to catch UP.
The result was that the caboose ran
into the rear part of The train with such
violence that the stove in the aboose
was upset scattering burning Goals in
the car. The plaintiff alleges that he
was violently thrown from his feet and
was thrown on the live GOALS of fire,
and hat his shoulder was ~dislocated
and broken and his body lacerated, and
that he was so severely burned about
the face and other portions Of the body
that he is disfigured for life-S He al
leges that when he was thrown down
violently by the collision that he was
knocked unconscious and remained so
for some time. The complaint alleged
that the accident wac Que to the neg
ligence Of the defendant railroad COM
pany, by virtue of a defective coupling.
and claims 800, 900 damages-$5O,0 900 for
actual damages and $50, 900 for punitive
damages.
The answer Of the defendant denies
all the material allegations. and sets
up for a defence that the defendant by
his own negligence contributed to his
injury; that contrary TO the rules Of the
railroad company he Degligently sig
nailed the engineman after the caboose
broke loose causing the train to stop and
the caboose to overtake and collide with
the rear of the rain. The defendant,
therefore, asks to be discharged from
liability.
This is said to be the heaviest damage

improvements to be Made In the
Rolling stock This ~Seaxon-It was
Decided to CurtaiI the of
Passes.

An adjourned meeting of the stock
holders OF the Wilmington S~eacoast
Railroad Company was held yesterday
morning at the office Of Messrs. Hugh
NacRae & Co. President Hugh Mac
Rae presided.
Much business Of interest and impor-
lance to the stockholders OF the COM
pany was transacted. A report was
made by Mr.. A. b. Shedding, superin-
tendent. relative to the steam equip
ment and rolling stock OF the road II
al to the changes that would be oesir-
able and necessary for the coming sea-
sons business. He submitted a report
Of an inspection OF the rolling stock
made by Mr.. u. E. Murrel, foreman Of
he Atlantic Coast Line car shops,
fhrough the courtesy Of the Atlantic
coast Line Railroad Company.
After discussion. the officers of the
road were authorized and instructed to
mak the changes and improvements
suggested in these reports III order to
put the equipment in thoroughly good
condition.
The directors of the Seacoast rail-
road, a majority OF whom were at the
meeting. discussed the question Of the
issue Of passes. which has S o gradual
~ grown and extended as to become a
eriou menace to the roads welfare.
The opinion vas expressed that the
number Of passes issued had become a
cause of general remark n the effect
was to dissatisfy regular patrons OF he
road who paid their railway fares. The
conclusion was reached that reform IN
this direction was imperative, and In a
apirit of fairness to all interests cnn-
oerned the directors decided not only to
surtaiI the issuance Of passes but II
give UP their own passes over the road
They therefore made this a matter al
record by the passage Of the following
resolution:
Whereas. The issuance OF passes has
grown to such proportions that it seri-
ously impafrs the income of the road
therefore, be 1t resolved that the direc-
tors decline to accept the passes which
they are entitled to over this road.
After t~ransacting other business and
referring several matters to the board
Of directors, tn meeting adjourned.
In the next two months the track and
trestles Of the company will be given
their usual overhauling for the coming
season.
