iury in the case of Charles II Wells

IS. 900 for the plaintiff. Messrs. Machen
and Moncure represented Wells, and the
railroad company was represented by
ATTORNEYS r. Walton Moore and James
r. Cation. The suit was one OF many
that grew ont of the head-on collision

on the evening of March /, last, when
one man was killed and number OF
peope were more or less injured. Mr.
Wells sued for $25, O0O

give defendant company time to take
the case to the Court OF Appeals.

company will come up tomorrow to be
followed by that Of Blake. All OF these
cases grew out of the accident which so
far has cost the railroad company up

LONDON, June 2.-London hotels
which cater to wealthy gourmets are
now supplying some rare dishes at rare
prices. Turtles feet at $1.25 each,
sharks fins at $3.50 each cut from a
young kangaroo at from $3.50 to 1915
and Chinese birds nest soup at $1.25 a
plate are among the least costly
rarities.
Quail de Rothschild is choicer dish.
It's ingredients are quails stuffed with
ortolan, pate de fois, truffles and other
delicacies. A dish for eight persons
can be obtained for about $40.
Truite au bleu is another exquisite
morsel. 1t is essential, If the last ex-
tremity of flavor is to be secured, that
the trout for this dish be put alive into
boiling water. The best trout, for the
purpose can be secured only in Scot
land. AS soon as they are caught they
are transferred to a special tank car
and shipped by rail to London. During
the journey a man has to aerate the
water to keep the fish lively. BY the
time dish of perhaps ten trout reaches
the table it will cost $100.
