tate of William n. Savage against the
Rhode Island company will go to jury

Of court Mrs. Savage sues to recover
$4,000 for the death OF her husband. who
was conductor on a Crescent Park car
who was killed on July 10. 1903. by com
ing in contact with an electric light pole
near the track, while he was affecting
fares.
In rescript handed down today the ap-
pellate court overrules the DEFENDANTS
demurrer. The language OF the rescript is
as follows:
THE first count alleges a cause OF ac-
tion that the defendant located its road
and ran Its cars thereon in dangerous
proximity TO pole standing In the high
way
The defendant demurrs to this court
on the grounds that the danger was OBJ
vious and one which the plaintiff in
testate assumed. We do not think that
the declaration shows that the pole was
80 near The track as To be obviously dam
gerous and hence IL does not appear that
the risk was an assumed one
The second count alleges that by put
ting up bar on the further side Of the
car the defendant obliged the plaintiffs
intestate 10 perform his duty OF collect
ing fares on the dangerous side of the
car This court is demurred 20 for the
reason assigned against the first count
and also because IL is supposed TO set out
two causes OF action. vfz:-the location of
the road, and the compulsion upon tho
plaintiffs intestase to use the dangerous
side OF the car. The first two reasons OF
demurrer are no more applicable TO this
count than the other.
The third objection. we think. In also

MUST ACCEPT $4,000.
Otherwise There VIII Be a New Trial Of
Margaret Mulhnaad's Case.

There will be new trial granted in
the suit OF Margaret L. Mulholland
against Union Railroad company unless
the plaintiff agrees TO take instead OF the
verdict of 5000 by her against the de-
fendsnt the sum OF 5000. Plaintiff was
n passenger on a car which. while going
along Tockwotton street on Oct. 1. 1899.
was run into by another car. She received
injuries 10 her hack. knee and spine.
The appellate court In its rescript SAYS:
we think the verdict in the case must
have been largely based upon the belief
that the accident TO plaintiff caused
sclerosls OF the spinal cord. The strong
preponderance OF the medical testimony.
as well as the direction In which the
plaintiff was thrown. are inconsistent
with such conclusion. The plaintiff
was. however. injured by the admitted
fault " the defendant and he will. there
fore. grant a new trial on the question
OF damages unless the plaintiff will CON
sent 20 remit damages in excess OF the
sum OF 5000"

Tax Collector Brown Small's friends
found out good one on him yesterday.
Everyone knows the mascotaI virtues
of a rabbit foot in a political race, par
ticularly if it be that of graveyard
rabbit, and Collector Small decided to
get one, though the result of his race
was never really in doubt. Yesterday
morning some one kicked over box in
the tax Office, and the onlookers were
surprised to see an old "molIy cotton
talr' securely tied by all four feet,
lying there. Collector Small thought
to take no chances and instead OF get
ting one rabbits foot he got the whole
rabbit and concealed it In the Office.
At least the animal was found there
yesterday, and the story goes forth
accordingly.
