For Toney's Message Was Taken Up By the Senate and Went Through
 With Ease
EENERAL APPROVAL
Eiaduct Must Be Completed by Rail-
 roads by July Must Be of Steel
 and Sufficiently Wide to Admit ye- hicles-HOuse FayOrs Act.

The local bill, introduced several ! bays ago in the State Senate by Sena- Tor H. K. Toney, of this county was |aken up today, and passed, only two koting "no." There is no doubt hat the bill will be met
 4th Me same general favor among
 he Representatives in the lower house. All of the local members of
 hat body are urging it's passage.
 Senator Toney's new bill, like the bld one requires the Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain railroads to build tiaduct over their tracks in the East End of this city, along Ohio street. The measure, however, is different rom the original in that it provides Or steel structure wide enough to 5dmit the passage of wagons and oth-
 r vehicles, with special passage
 Fay for pedestrains.
 The bill, which was recently with
 rawn by Senator Toney, provided )nly for a wooden viaduct and did
 bot specify sufficient width to admit
 ehicles. The recent proposition of
 he railroads, which was turned down by the city council, was to the effect that they would agree to build a Fiaduct in the East End only six or plight feet wde. The viaduct would be of convenience to vehicles only end because of that fact the offer of Fhe railroads was not accepted. Ton Fy's bill requires the railroads to

| defamatofy matter concerning

and defamatory matter concerning him.
 |. Punitive or exemplary dam ages are awarded as a punishment for the offender, and to preserve the peace and good order of socic- ty and protect the regulations of the innocent by deterring others from being guilty of like offenses.
 $. Every citizen may freely speak or publish the truth con corning he official acts and conduct of any public officer and may make such fair comment thereon as the facts justify without becoming liz able in damages therefor; but no person is privileged to publish false and defamatory matter concerning another, and in this rspeet the edi- tor or proprietor of a newspaper stands. in law, upon exactly the same footing as any othe" citizen; his privileges and his liability are exactly the same as those of pri- vate persons who are not publishers of new wspapers.
 9. In order to warrant jury in awarding punitive or exemplary damages it must appear that a li belous publication was made with malice. This word, "malice," has two meanings-theo one popular and the other legal. In it's popular sense it is understood to mean personal spite, ill-will or hatred of one person by another. This is us ually called "eXpress malice" In it's legal sense it means any wrong full act done Intentionally without just cause or excuse or in WantOn and reckless disregard of the rights and feelings of the party injured.
 10. Malice is not to be presum- ed from the words of the libel alone and the fact that they are false, but it must be proven. But this proof need not be in the form of di- rect testimony; it may be shown by circumstantial evidence. It is for the jury to say, after considering the language of the publications complained of, together with all the circumstances attending their pub lication, whether such publication was or was not made with malice, either express or legal, as herein before defined.
 Having thus explained the ques- tions of law governing this case, the court further instructs you:
 II. First-That the articles published by the defendant and set out in the complaint are libelous per SC, that it was not privileged and that plaintiff is entitled to re- cover.
 12. Second-That no special damages being proven, plaintiff is not entitled to recover anything for such special damages.
 13. Third-That you should award to plaintiff such sum as com pensatory damages as in your judg- ment the evidence shows that he is entitled to recover, not exceeding twenty-seven thousand five hundred dollars, the amount claimed in the complaint.
 IA. Fourth-If you find from a preponderance of the evidence that the libelous articles in question, were published by defendant with express malice toward the plaintiff then you should award such fur ther sum in the nature of punitive damages, not exceeding ten thous- and dollars, as in your Judgment the evidence would justify. But unless you so find that such express or actual malice existed in the mind of defendant at the time of the pub lication you should not award any thing by way of punitive damages.

It is refreshing once in while to break connection with ones quiet country life and get down into the moil and hub-bub of the great city to see what people there are doing, what they are thinking, and at what pace the big driving wheels of life are go- ing. Of course, this change or base Is taxing to oneS strength; and yet change of place does bring rest, for lolling head and folded hands are not always what weary ones need. It's different world down there. Even a Slow-movinR mortal to-day lives at hotter pace than his strenuous grand father did; but the busy New Yorker who is right It the center of the mael-
 strom s whfrl, puts in more of life in two days than his ancestor who fought or did not fight at Bunker Hill put in during his whole lifetime. The other Thursday when the bottom was drop ping right out of solid stocks on Wall street and the Change closed with dread expectation of another Black Friday on the morrow, the hair Of some men who had to throw their all into the slump turn grey in one night and the rapid events of few hours were like the panorama of years.

all the pathos that my bursting
 heart can feel, as I now say to this great audience, Come"
 Do you think that that appeal was came, the unconverted ones, the fath- CTS who had been prayed over, the
 brothers whom sisters had wept for,
 the heads of families upon whom little children depended to show them the
 way into the light. They came by friend, just as of old the inconspicuous Andrew led Peter to Jesus, who was to be head of the Apostolic Band. They came, friends bringing the sim stricken friend, just as of old the Jesus company their paralytic friend. They came singly, in pairs, in knots, in drOves, until the inquiry room was crowded with full dozen score. If heavens arches ring with jubllant notes, when the Shepherds kind arms on the mountain side, home, will you describe to me the shaking of heavens rafterS with exultant song when those earth-weary pilgrims that night took their pitchers from broken cisterns that hold no water and started to fill them at the never-failing fountain of redeeming love? What an accession 1t was to the army who are cOnQuering the world-klngdoms, not with the weapons of Caesar, when that pilgrim band took up their staffs and journey ed toward the gates of shining gold!
 Explain the watery world, the dew drop, that floats on the tip of grass spire; explain the fiecked foam that losses into feathery whiteness upon the crested wave; explain the light flame from the dark clouds and leaves no course behind; but do not try to ex- plain this man. The audience waited long after they had been dismissed; they did not care to go. Dr Cadman
 had to say, "Well, friends, there is talk little longer. I think women
 are given to lionizing men whose characters stand out grandly before them. They pressed in numbers tow ard the platform after the meeting was over, and seemed almost ready to touch the feet of this man of power, ,or, at least, to grasp his hand. Say that he is man filled with the Holy Spirit; that does not tell it all. Say that he has power with men because. the very fact that he came up from a gypsy camp is fact possessed by no other evangelist to-day, that will draw the curious; the explanation of the man is not yet made.
