We're we sailed around until we found a
favorable spot back of the roadhouse on

as ever anything landed-struck the

VALUATION OF LIFE.
Damages Greater for the Boys Death
than the Giri'S.

New York. May 19.-The New York
Herald says: Judges in the supreme court
| in this city were as one in the opinion
| that Judge Adams of the Essex county
| circuit court. Newark, ~ j., acted well
within his rights and discretion when he
allowed a verdict of $4,000 to stand in the
| case or A boy who was killed and reduced
the awarded damages in The case of girl
| from 81 coo TO So, CO.
Those with whom "a reporter talked.
called attention TO the fact that in the
findings of the cases of Evan F. j. East
wood and the school girl Ella Werpupp.
killed in February 1903, in the Clifton ave-
nue. (Newark) trolley accident, the jurors
could not be swayed by sentimentality-
1t was clearly in the right Of the pre-
siding judge to order a new trial in the
girls case if he considered the verdict
of 5000 excessive. unless the parents of
the trolley victim would accept the dam
ages at the figure fixed by the judge.
Judge Henry Bischoff, of the supreme
court succinctly expressed his opinion of
all who were seen when he said last
night: 4
1T must be remembered at the start
that under the common law no damage
could be sued for in cases of this kind.
That law made no provision for claims
in the cases of persons killed. Taht pa
rents or the next of kin are permitted to
bring suit, as in the case at hand, is al
lowable by statutory laws. In our state
the law fixed the maximum of damages
for death "a s., 200, but in 1894 the consti-
tuition was revised and the amount of
dar hat OF ha Sr1a6
moved and the legislature forever inhiD-
tied from fixing limit for damages. in
New Jersey, 1 believe, the maximum
amount that can be awarded is 5000
THE jury in the Eastwood and Wer-
pupp cases were simply required to fix
the damages In the laws definition of
damages it means money payment for
damages received and not penalty. In
the case of the Eastwood boy il is but
natural to assume that, grown to man
hood. even though he married and had a
family around hi mhe would still, if the
circumstances should warrant it. contrib
ute TO the support of r absolutely sus-
tain his parents.
with a young woman the conditions
are entirely different. She has been a
source of expense for schooling and so
forth until perhaps a certain age when
necessity might compel her to seek en-
ployment and so contribute to the fam
ilys funds. Unlike the boy, the young
woman marries and then belongs to her
husband and to her children. 1t is not
in the nature OF things that her parents
look to her for support.
1t may be that Judge Adams. with a
f1,l l-uauIadga of tho facts thorr
that in the girls case the jury had been
influenced by sentiment. 1t was wholly
WITHIN his discretion either to order a new
trial or to have the girls father accept
reduction in the amount of damages.

TWO WARSHIPS SUNK
No Doubt Japan Lost Two of
Her Cruisers.
REPORT IS CONFIRMED
Batt'eshlp fuji and Not the
ASama Went Down.

enc Foo, May 1s---A party of thirteen
Russians arriving from Dalny this morn
] ing by junk, are authority for the state
ment that during bombardnent of Port
Arthur by the japanese Monday after
noon the Japanese hattleship Shekishima
| and the cruiser Asama struck mines ard
sank.
The Russians say that the Shikishima
sank TWO minutes after running onto the
mine and that the Asama was being tow
ed away by vessel of the bombarding
fleet when she also went down.
The thirteen Russians seem to have
obtained their information from the COM
manding officer at Dalny. VINO showed
them, they assert, a telegram from Port
Arthur that the bombardment commenced
at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon and that
two hours later the Shikishima struck
the mine and was soon at the bottom
During the confusion that followed. ac-
cording TO the story told. the Asama also
struck on a mine and was taken in tow,
but was settling so fast that it was found
necessary TO abandon her.
A number of Russian torpedo boats
then went out, but the japanese received
reinforcepents and the Russians retired.
Today's arrivals say that the entrance
TO Port Arthur was blocked but one OF
the sunken steamers was removed and
the entrance is now open. but IL is still
dangerous and the Russian fleet has been
ordered to remain in the harbor until the
arrival of Admiral Skyrdloff, who will
take command
Communication north Of Dalny has been
completely severed.
NOT THE ASAMA.
Che Foo, May 19.-Peopie just arrived
here from Dalny have reported to the
Russian consul that the Japanese battle
ship Shikishima sank in two minutes
after contact with the submarine mine,
and that there was no time 10 save the
crew. The accident happened. il is said,
within sight of Port Arthur.
hTe battleship Full, not the cruiser AS
ANA, which struck the mine on the port
bow. had heavy list and was also down
by the bow, but was righted and went off
in tow of the other cruisers.
1t is thought impossible. however. that
she could reach port
The rumor at Dalny to the effect that
the Asama had sank in Kerr bay proba-
bly, refers to the sipking of the steel cruis-
er Miyaka. which took place there recent
ly by coming in contact with a subma-
rine mine.
The Russian consul personally had a
telegram from Dalny saying that il is ru-
mored there that two japanese battle
ships had been sunk off Port Arthur
