that Hartman may take over the

clare that there is no question but

Probably the highest award

Probably the highest award ever
given in a personal injury suit in
Iowa, is verdict for $4,000,
given to John Garfield of lndepend-
ence in the district court Of Iowa
county. Garfield was injured near
Independence, Iowa. He was rid
ing on handcar on the Rock IS
land tracks at time of dense fog
when he was struck by an extra
freight train. He was frightfullv
hurt and lost one of his legs as re-
suit Of the accidant. He brought
suit in Independence for $4,000
damages, but the case was trans.
feared to the district court at Ma.
rengo for trial. Up to the time Of
the verdict in this case the highest
damage verdict was secured by A.
P. Huggard Of Davenport in his
famous suit against the Glucose
Sugar Refining company, amount
ing to more than $4,000. This
verdict was finally sustained by thu
supreme court after stubborn
fight of a couple OF years. Huggare
was made absolutely helpless fol
life by his accident.

Commenting upon the conduct Of
the big brother Of bride at rec
emit wedding in q town in Pennsyl-
vania, who sailed forth and routed
crowd of hoodlums who had gath
cred without the home OF the bride
to assist in the ceremonies, the Reg
lister and Leader truly says: There
is no possible justification for the
crowd that attends weddings un-
hidden. The marriage Of man
and a woman is solemn and sacred
event, and the custom OF disturbing
the principals with course and I'M
couth exhibitions is barbarous and
altogether out of place. The new
bride should be treated with all the
courtesy and consideration her
friends are able to summon instead
of being outraged in her finer sensi-
bilities and made unpleasantly con-
spicuous. We say it is up to the
friends to be decent and respectable;
the rabble which comes bowling
outside can be taken care Of by a
strong-armed brother, or in the lack
OF this hero, by the police.

Fish Claims a Real Victory.

Mr.. Fish has made public the
following statement relative To his
struggle to regain control of the
Illinois Central.
"Our victory in the Illinois Cen
trail contest is most gratifying and
real. The best we could have hoped
for under Judge Balls modified or
der was to prevent an election Of di-
rectors at this. This has not only
been accomplished. but we have al
so secured a definite adjournment
until Dec. Is. When on Saturday
it became apparent to the Union Pa
cifc party that our majority was so
large that they could not win even
if they secured every remaining
proxy, their tactics for prolonging
the session of the stockholders
meeting from day to day became APP
parent.
Late Sunday night realizing
that the best interests of the Illinois
Central Railroad demanded that the
present sessions should be closed, l
authorized the making of an agree
ment between counsel. The agree
ment to adjourn until December IS,
gives me all that l could have gain
ed by using the preponderence of
my votes and constitutes an ac-
acknowledgement by the Hartman
party Of their failure to now elect
directors.
During the progress of the official
tally, consistently refrained from
giving out figures through fear Of
misleading the public. The official
count has been about four tifths
completed, and being now closed
until Dec. Is, I can say with regard
to it, that my information iustiies
the statement that SO far as made it
leaves me with a clear and certain
majority Of somewhere between
between thirty thousand and fifty
thousand, votes; which in view Of
the Union Pacific party having
hunted Tor proxies Tor two months
before mailed my first circular OF
Sept. 81, is most satisfactory
From now on, shall pursue my
quest Of proxies with greater vigor
and far better information than ever
before, feeling sure of the support
of the investigating public, who are
interested in this great property and
in preserving the independence and
integrity Of the Illinois Central
Roilroad."
All stock transferred between now
and November when the books viii
again be closed for the purpose Of
the election will be permitted to
vote on Dec. is. The transfer books
will be opened to-day in Chicago
and New York.
