SUPREME COURT
 AFF|RMS CASE Both Railroads Liable for Damages to Stock in Ship ment When Two Lines Handle Cars.
FOR FLOODED STOCK
Question As to Whether There Was q Market Value of That Kind of Stock in Arkansas-DeWitt Was Point of Destination.

The case of M e. Kilberry and oth- CTS against the St. Louis Southwest ern Railway Company, appealed from the Jefferson circuit court was affirm ed by Justice McCulloch in the Su- preme Court at Little Rock yesterday. Both the Cotton Belt and Iron Noun tain railroads are held to be liable for damage to shipment of stock in a case in which the shipment was handled by both lines, in decision handed down by the Supreme Court yesterday
 It was an action against both of the railroad companies to recover dam ages to cattle and horses shipped from St. Louis to Dewitt, Ark. The ship ment was under bill of lading issued by the Cotton Belt at St. Louis for continuous transportation to Dewitt. The bill of lading contained the GUS tomary clause limiting the liability to the carrier on whose line the injury occurred if the place of destination was beyond the line of the initial car rier. The Cotton Belt had no line out of St. Louis at that time, and though that company issued the bill of lading at Sa. Louis the consignment passed over the Iron Mountain road from St. Louis to Delta, Mo-, and thence over the Cotton Belt to Dewitt
 The injury occurred while the cars were on the Iron Mountain road. The question is whether both roads were liable, or whether the Iron Mountain alone was liable.
 The circuit court held that Dewitt, the point of destination, was On line of the Cotton Belt. The shipment did not follow within the exempt claim in the clause of the bill of lading just re- ferred to, and the Cotton Belt was liable for the injury as well as the Iron Mountain. This court reaches the conclusion that that was the correct construction of the contract and that both roads are liable.
 Exceptions were made to the intro duction of evidence of market value of cattle in distant states. Proof showed th;yt the cattle injured were of fine, registered breeds. and there was some evidence tending to show that there was no market value for that kind of cattle in Arkansas county. There was no proof of market value in nearer market, and this court holds that the evidence was proper for the jury. Judgment affirmed.

WILL MEET
 THIS AFTERNOON Jefferson County Bridge Commissioners and Exec. utive Committee of North and South Railroad
TO PERFECT CONTRACT
Work on Railroad Will Begin Either at IOnOkc or Dn Valrs Bluif-Pcrson. ntl of Executive Committee and Bridge Commissioners.

A meeting of the executive com hlttee ot the North and South rail. road and the Jefferson county bridge commissioners will be held this afternoon at the office of Coun- ty Judge James Gould in the court house. It is stated that the sign- ing of the contract will be carried out by the railroad company and the county for the construction Of the free bridge across the Arkan- sas river at this place. The con- tract for the bridge and the North and South railroad was let by the North and South Railroad con- pany some weeks ago to the Thomas A. Bell Construction company. Everything is being placed in readi- ness for the initial work on the railroad.
 It is planned to begin the con- struction work at Lonoke or Du- Val1s Bluff. Many local merchants have urged that the construction be started from this city This would be impracticable, the con- tractors gay, owing to the fact that the railroads now running to this place would not deliver material as promptly as it will be delivered by the Rock Island at either Of the two points mentioned.
 The members of the executive committee of the North and South Railroad company include Doctor 7. Orto, j. l.. Caldwell, P. P. Byrd, s. c. Alexander Jr, and John F. Rutherford. The Jefferson county bridge commissioners are: County Judge James Gould, w. D. Hearn and Leo M. Andrews.

When the youths of Goldfield learn

the apprehension of the boys who dill

Early in the morning, before the

a break for liberty. Most of them

GOLD MINING THE. SuRER

1t is urged by some that the decline
in copper may carry with it & bene-
fciel result to certain lines of indus
try, and perhaps to the country at
larga. For instance, cheap copper
mag stimulate the building of trollies
and other things in which copper
plays an important part 1t is urged
further that the curtailed production
of copper may turn capital toward
gold mining
While it must be conceded that the
decline will work an immediate hard
ship on the copper producing regions
it is difficult to figure out how it is
going to work any general damsg e

SILVER ADVANCES
OTHERS DECLINE

The continued advance in the price
OF silver has upset all the theories
that were advanced in the days of
the anti-silver agitation. In spite of
the fact that it is still denied coinage
it has advanced 20 cents an ounce
in the past ten years, while in the
same period, and especially lately,
other metals have gone down. 1t is
the only metal now that is advancing
and every few days there is a Sigh.
increase.
1t is not due to decrease in the
amount of available silver, but in one
sense to the general rally from the
conditions that prevailed in Cleve-
lands administration With better
times better prices have prevailed
for nearly every product of the land.
The price of silver has not advanced
so much as to bring about reaction
as has happened with copper, so that
now when some other prices are fall
ing there can be no claim of an over
production of silver and it's value is
still on the upgrade. The recent ac-
ton of the government in purchasing
silver for coinage, which was forced
through the demands for circulation
! is having a most gratifying effect
! There is no doubt of the fact that
| the use and coinage of silver r;lle the
price, and that the repeal OF the
| Sherman purchase law was resDon-
! sible for it's going down to 40 cents
an ounce. There is hope for this
! American product yet, but the Amer
lean people will first have to learn
that they must be loyal to those gifts
of nature which are most Abundant
in their own country.
