VERDICT
STANDS
Appellate Court Refuses to Set
Aside Award Against Union
Railroad Company.

That the defendants petition for a new
trial on the sole ground OF excessive dam
ages in the case of David w. McGarvey
VS.. Union Railroad did not impress the
court as a proper one is very evident
from the rather long rescript filed i'm the
case. McGarvey was awarded $4,000 by
a jury.
The plaintiff was on February 10th.
1902, a wholesale oyster dealer, weighing
about 1s7 pounds, and while driving his
horse attached to a heavy express the
wagon was struck with such force by
one of the defendants cars as 10 break
both axles OF the wagon upon the surb-
stone OF the street. McGarvey struck
upon his left foot In such a manner as 10

injuries TO his back and sides. legs and
neck. resulting I'm an affection OF his
bladder and In desirability to read
without glasses.
Prior to the accident the plaintiff had
not been sick for 10 or 20 years. After the
accident he was in bed three months
and had to hire some one to look after
his business which caused him a great
loss. He was making $500 a year at his
business and the Doctors bill amounted
TO $3.50.
The court says: There were the def
mite losses which were easy for the jury
TO compute. the balance OF the verdict
must be for future losses that will be
likely to occur through inability OF the
plaintiff to personally supervise his busi-
ness on account OF the accident caused by
the negligence OF the agent Of the defend
ant and also for compensation for the
pain and suffering past. present and flu
ture which are the result OF the injuries
received by him in the accident.
DO witness foretold. the jury could not
tell" and neither can we prognosticate
for how lo3g a time the plaintiff and
his business will be affected by his dis
ability Nor are we acquainted with any
mechanism sufficiently delicate TO ao-
curately measure pain. Nor II that could
be done r. there market price estab-
iished by which the value OF its absence
or OF the detriment Of its presence can
be determined"
The court holds that In tort actions the
question Of damages Is peculiarly within /
the province OF the jury and the court |
will not interfere unless the damages /
are grossly excessive. or the jury acted /
improperly. The verdict In this case

Progress of Mexican
National Road.

Camargo, Mexico, Aug. %, 1908
To The HERALD:-The extension
of the Mexican National Railroad
from Monterey to San Miguel is OF
considerable interest to our people
III the betterment of conditions on
both sides of the Rio Grande, tax
ing into consideration the active
construction work being prosecuted
by the St. L. B. and NJ, and the
early promise of initial movements
on the part of the S. A. and A. P.
and the possibility of the Orient
being built through the Rio Grande
Valley to Brownsville.
Little seems to be known of the
progress being made by the Mex
National people, therefore, a few
jotting may be acceptable. A short
time since, chief Engineer James
NJ. ed,-Ass't. Chief Engineer G..
P. Wolf and Capt. Billy Scott, made
a trip to this point, and the fol-
lowing information was impaired
to Mr.. de Lasso, through whose
courtesy l am enabled to furnish
in to the headers of THE HERALD.
On the first of August fifteen
miles of grading had been COM
pleted from Monterey, and it was
expected they would reach Romones,
so miles, within 60 days. They
have 200 mules and 600 men at
work. The whose construction to
be completed within eighteen
months. The engineers have finish
ed the permanent survey, which
has been approved by the Mexican
government as far as Romones.
The line adopted is from Monterey
to Rancho los Romones, through
Aldamas, near which will be the
crossing of the San Juan river.
From thence to La Quemada, San
Pedro and Rancho Azucar, where
the road will curve toward Mata-
moros, and pass within three miles
of Camargo.
The route leaves out all the
prominent towns between Camargo
and Monterey. 1t will he built in

that should it deviate

nefts to be derived from the

The Banking System
OF Modern Mexico.
Editor DAILY HERALD:

Hl0lIOT DAlL1 ERALD.
Financiers outside of Mexico look
upon the banking system there with
suspicion. They see no solid foun-
dation, no reliable guarantees to
bank upon. 1t looks like a kind
of sociedad-mdgi system, a cor
poration whose ultimate aim is to
work the get-rich-quick policy by
deceiving the people to the utmost
limit of their ability. London and
Mexican capitalists, though said to
be worth from ten to twenty mil
lion pesos of the deprecated Mex
lean currency, are doing banking
business of hundreds of millions of
greenback pesos. strictly upon per-
sonal reputation and individual
promises to pay. Pay, in what?
There is the rub. There is no other
substantial guaranty in sight to re-
deem a single Mexican dollar with
any standard value.
Who would not look with sus-
picion upon bank of issue which
has free and unlimited (carte de
blanc) to food the country every
day with thousands of paper dol
lars, the current value of which
fiuctuates between 80 and 40 cents
every thirty days, that is, in COM
parison to the gold standard. Great
Scott Who would not smile with
suspicion upon an institution like
that, run by a few London and
Mexican capitalists having an ex-
elusive license to monopolize a
vicarious business in a field broad
as all Mexico.
If such a scheme does not smack
loudly of the free and irresponsible
wild cat money of the dead past,
what does it resemble?
l confess to a feeling of inability
to do this subject merited justice.
Perhaps from the suggestions sub
NIT, an ADLER pen may take it in
hand, giving due justice. However,
| will proceed.
OF course it remains for the future
to demonstrate the correctness of
these surmises, as TO the outcome of
Mexico's present monetary system.
Yet one cannot help thinking the
time will come when there will be
such a financial crisis as will shake
the foundation of our sister repub-
lie. The Butchers Son of 1900 was
about right when he proclaimed
hat mankind were never as happy
Is when they We're being deceived.
But Il warning cry was sure to come:
Stand from umderl"
From time immemorial it has
been said that Mexico was = very
'ich country Granted it is, it can
also be said that her riches, neces-
AIRY to exalt i nation, have been
adly neglected, and at the dawn of
he Twentieth century they still lie
lndeveloped Her mountains, it is
aid, are fairly underlaid with the |
precious metals, which only needs
he command OF nerve and muscle |
o bring it forth for utilization.
| notice by late statistics the
mining output of gold in Mexico
mounts to over $15,000,OOO during
he past year, and very probably /
his will be much larger in the flu
ure, by reason ofimproved methods
n mining and machinery. This is
mother good argument why Mexico
hould abandon her present mon
tary system, and adopt the gold
tandard.
From present indications it seems
hat she preferred to be hoodwink-
