RAILROAD LIABILITY.
GRAHAM CASE FROM MONROE
COUNTY Is REVERSED BY
SUPREME COURT.

Des Moines, May 19.-The supreme
court yesterday ordered new trial In
the damage case Of S. L. Graham, OF
Monroe county, against the North
western railroad, an important case
involving the liability Of railroad cor
porations to trespassers.
Young Graham with two companions
attempted to board fast passenger
train on the Northwestern by clinging
to the rails of the yestibuled doors
which were closed. The other two
young men were able to attract the
attention Of the trainment and were
admitted to the train promptly. Gra-
ham was not seen, but his compan-
ions, as soon as they got into the train,
notified the trainmen, who fastened
to the vestibule to which it was sup
posed he was clinging to find that he
was not there. The train was stop
ped and search disclosed his dead
body which had been swept on the
train by viaduct.
The question was as to the liability
of the railroad corporation under sucn
circumstances. The lower court al
lowed the case to go to the jury and
the jury found against the company,
assessing the damages. The supreme
court yesterday reversed the decision
and remanded the case for new trial.
Plainly Graham was trespasser on
the train and as such the railroad COM
pany owed him no attention beyond
that of removing him from his posi-
ton of danger when found. 1t is claim
ed that the emergency brakes should
have been used as soon as the train
men were notified that the young man
was clinging to the door on the out
side, but it was shown that this Was
likely to result in injury to many pas
sengers and not permit more prompt
relief of the young man than to go
directly to the door to which he was
clinging.

STARTS FOR LONDON.
Oskaloosa Man Will Represent the
American Miners.

John P. White, of Oskaloosa, presi.
dent of District Thirteen of the Unit
ed Miners of America, left last even.
ing for London, England, one Of two
men who will represent the vast mem
bership Of the organized miners of
America at the International Mining
Congress to be held at the Westmin-
ster Hotel in London. The other del
egate from America win be President
T. d. Nichols, Of Scranton, Pa, presi.
dent of District No. Of the United
Mine Workers, and Mr.. Whites
friend
These men are delegates from the
miners of America to a convention
of fellow workers from all ovec the
world. They will represent America
in discussing and planning for better.
ment in the conditions which sur
round those who dig for their living
in the bottom of the coal pits.
The International Mining Congress
is made up of representatives from
the organized miners in England and
the countries of her empire, in the
continental countries and in Amerira.
It's work is devoted entirely to plan
ming for betterment, and after an
abundant discussion of such measures
as are proposed by the different or
ganizations composing the congress.
it takes such action upon them as it
sees fit. Almost entirely its work is
for betterment in sanitary and other
conditions which surround the min
ers. 1t asks legislation requiring
such precautionary measures as seem
best for the preservation of the lives
risked in the hazardous calling.
The United States will advance but
one proposition to the convention,
That is that an international union
card be issued for transfer Of mem
bers from one union to the other.
Cards are now accepted from the un'
ions in the old world and are recog.
nized in America but their varied
forms make the matter involved,
where universal transfer card would
simplify greatly.
Mr.. White sails the first Of the
week for England. He joins Mr..
Nichols at Scranton and sails from
New York. He will be absent from
this country about two months and
after the session of the congress will
probably visit collieries at different
points in England and Wales to study
the conditions which obtain in the
mines there. 1t is his hope to be able
to visit Ireland, and if possible he
will pay visit TO the ole home OF
his father and mother near Dublin,
in the isle.

PROF. CHAS. SCANLON
Noted Presbyterian Lecturer Visits
.. Oskaloosa.

Sunday Oskaloosa was favored with
one of the prominent Assembly men
from the Des Moines gathering OF
Presbyterians. Prof. Chas. Scanlon,
A NJ, of Pittsburg, Pa, field secretary
for the General Assembly's committee
on Temperance, spent strenuous day
in our city, addressing rour meetings
At the First Presbyterian church
he took part in the morning service
speaking on Christian Development,
and the congregation were delighted
with his elevated and beautiful senti,
ments and graceful speech.
In the afternoon he addressed the
boys meeting at the Y, NJ. c. A. at
2:30, urging on the boys the import,
ance of clean, manly life for any
kind of success.
At $3.50 large number of men
greeted him at the mems meeting at
the Y. NJ. G. A., and Prof. ScznIon
showed himself a strong speaker in
appealing to what is best in a man.
He spoke on ''The Greatest Question
Before the American People," and by
strong argument and eloquent appeal
showed this question to be the liquor
problem. He spoke from a financial,
political, social and moral standpoint
and his hearers followed his speech
with great interest.
The great meeting of the day was
the union service held at the NJ. e.
church at 500 p. m. Prof. Scanloa
addressed the immense audience for
about an hour and held their closest
attention. He mingled humor and
pathos with his reasoning on the tenn
perance question, and few addresses
in Oskaloosa recently have called
forth more favorable comment. He
showed the advances made in the ac'
complishment Of this reform AMI ac-
vocated total abstinence for the ipdi-
vidual and prohibition for the state.
AS a representative of the Ptesby-
terian General Assembly, he spoke of
the new movement in that church
along Temperance lines and Of IN
creased interest in the other large de-
nominations. At the close Of lie
meeting great number greeted the
speaker and congratulated him on his
address.
Prof. Scanlon returned to Des
Moines this morning.

WOMAN'S CLUB HOME
Miss Evans Urges Innovation at
Annual Meeting.

That the 0skaloosa Woman's club
should have home; that the organ
ization which has for more than ten
years pushed every enterprise for the
growth of Oskaloosa with all the en-
ergy of the two hundred women
which compose it's membership,
should look now to it's own comfort
and provide a meeting place for it
self; these were ideas advanced by
Miss Mae j. Evans, former member
of the club, at the annual business
meeting Saturday afternoon. Miss
Evans talk followed the annual cleo
tion Of officers, in which Mrs. John G.
Williams was again chosen to head
the organization for the year.
Club politics had but little spirit
Saturday and Mrs. Williams was re-
elected to lead the organization dur
ing the important biennial year
without contest. Her administration
during the present term had been
entirely satisfactory and was highly
endorsed. The club was shown to
be in flourishing state. The officers
elected were:
President-Mrs. ]. c. Williams.
First vice president--Mrs. r. W.
Clayton.
Second vice president-Miss Rosa
A. Lewis.
Recording secretary - Miss Lucille
Sewers.
Corresponding secretary-Mrs. L. E.
Corlett.,
Journalist-Mrs. Richard Burke.
Miss Evans greeting was a warm
one and when the speaker suggested
that the ladies look now to their own
interests the suggestion was greeted
with applause. She declared that If
nothing more, the women should at
least have the second floor of the
Carnegie library for a meeting place,
and that chairs should be provided
for them. The idea was a popular
one, and it is quite probable that the
Woman's club will find a home for
It's meetings, at least, in that room
