ture to that of Mrs. w. D. Reneer. Of
Atchison, who sued the proprietors of

husband beer, on which he became
drunk and while under its influence
killed two companions Mrs Reneer
instituted the suit on the grounds tina t
the liquor caused her husband to com

The story Of the Delaneys, as told
in court by Mrs. Delaney is indeed

1886 At that time Delaney was a

not exceed 81 per ton and be reduced as
business increases. Under such 4 sys-

~ occasion for the Panama railway to
maintain corporate existence with
officers IN New York, for the road can
be better controlled by a single COM
petent railway manager on the isthmus.
This ARRANGEMENT alone, he said would
save a large annual expenditure which
he asserted IS now apparently wasted on
the Panama railway organization, and
world do away with the complexities
which that organization evidently pro-
5uces while at the same time the en-
barrassing questions arising from the
alliance of steamship lines with the

In closing Mr.. Wallace said:
ct is much easier tc retain and reg
11lafe the movement Of traffic along the
lines to which it has been accustomed
than it is to regain it after IT has been
once diverted to new routes and the
committee ought not to overlook the
completion Of the Tehuantepec route

suggested ought to be immediaIely pro-
