Hereafter there are to be no more
issues of "crisp bank notes. The
government bureau Of engraving and
printing have obtained a patent by
which they will treat bank notes with a
chemical preparation which makes the
paper soft and velvety, almost like a

an antiseptic and preventative. When
applied to old documents it seems to
knit the fibre together and prevent fur
ther decay.
y A party of Burlington surveyors were
here lass week surveying for the pro-
posed cutoff which has been talked
about for long time, which if built
will cut out about four and half miles
Of the old K. & w. track between Leon
and Blockley. 1t is proposed to build .
cutoff from just this side Of the Little
River bridge across to connect with
the K. & W. track just north Of Block
ley, and when this is done the &. & W.
trains will use the Burlington tracks
down that far, and then cut aoross to
Bloclsiey. Itwould only require about
half mile Of new track, and would cut out
the expense of keeping up four and half
miles Of the old track, and would give
them good track while the old track
is one of the poorest pieces of track on
the road.

A BLOW AT RAILROADS.
Prevents Them Entering Into Con-
tracts Limiting Liability.

by late decision of the United
4 States supreme court, new principle
of law has been establishsd-one of
vast Importance to those who have
| business dealings with railroads
This principle holds that railroad
company or any corporation acting
as common carrier cannot enter in
to contract with an individual
whereby the latter releases the cor
poration from Liabilities. The suit
in question was brought by Hughes
81 Fleming, of Philadelphia. to recoy-
er damages for injuries sustained by Il
valuable race horse. The animal
was shipped from Albany to Cynwid.
aud while in the freight yards in
| Philade lphis was badly hurt in col.
| lision ca used by a shifting engine
running into the car in which the
animal was stalled. Prior to the
shipment of the horse Hughes & Flem-
ing entered into an agreement with
the Pennsy lvan;a Railroad company.
whereby the horse would be transport
ed at reduced rate provided the liza
bility of the company was limited to
500. On the strength of this contract
the railroad company declined to pay
more than the stipulated sum when
the horse was injured. Suit was
brought in Common Pleas Court No
3. Philadelphia, and Judge Sul2berger
charged the jury to ignore the con-
tract and render verdict for the full
amount. The Pennsylvania railroad
carried the, case to the state supreme
ruling of the lower court. Not salts
| fled with this decision, the case was
taken to the United States supreme
court and Justice Day renders final
| ruling which establishes very i'm.
portant precedent and entirely new
principle from those heretofore held.
1t practically strikes severe blow
at all railroads and prohibits them
| from entering into any further con.
| tracts with individuals as tar as lin.
ting their liability is concerned -
