The Law Business in Lamoille
County on the Decline

There is no money in the law business
now adays" said well.known Lamoile
County lawyer recently. He was speaking
of the law business in Larnoille County in
particular. 1t is very true that there is,
not much law business in this county just
now. Years ago it was a common thing
for court to have a term of six or eight
weeks, but now it is called lucky (for the
lawyer if we have term of six or eight
days, The day of long court terms has
gone by in this county-uplcss we have a
murder case God forbid like that of last
term. The cause2 People have come to
look upon law in the right light. Rather
than resort TO lengthy litigation they set
tie their difficulties by arbitration which.
as rule, brings about more satisfactory
results and is much cheaper. The fact is
people are wiser in this day and genera
tion," and see the utter foolishness of re-
sorting to law to recover few dollars
which usually go to the lawyers and about
all the plaintiff getsis satisfaction" which
comes high.
The late Judge Powers once told us of
lawsuit between two Hyde Park farmers
over five dollar calf, which resulted in
both farmers losing their farms.
There is, however, one branch of the
law business that is not declining as rapid
ly as might be wished, and that is the
divorce court. This seems to be on the
increase and is the result OF unwise and
hesty marriages. Just so long as this
continues there will be good law business
in that direction Not that we wish the
lawyers to be put entirely out of business,
but let us hope that good judgment along
matrimonial lines may havea telling effect
upon the divorce court.

They found the Captain some what improved and of jovial spirit which makes the visit home all the more pleasant.
 The governor went to Texarkana this morning on business, but will return 10 this city this evening. He appears in robust health, notwithstanding the performance of his manifold duties during the recent session which handed him hundreds of bills for final consider ation.
 The fact that large number Of bills are yet to be passed on, will necessitate the governors early return to Little Rock.

LOCAL YOUTH
 MAKES RESCUE
BILL ASHLEY PROBABLY SAVED LIFE OF H. J. P. HORNE AS
 FAST MAIL SWEEPS BY.

Dashng madly across the Arkadel- phia end of the Iron Mountain railway bridge, Bill Ashley literally lifted H. J. P. Horne and lowered him to safety on one of the sills that projects cross just above the piling, and himself gained the other side of the sill just as fast mail Train No. swept along on schedule time near one o'clock this af- ternoon.
 Rev Horne, who is about 80 years of age, had been called to Dalark to marry couple and finding the river up so that vehicles could not cross the flats of the Dalevills side, he started to walk across the railroad bridge in order to catch the NJ. D. & G. train, that leaves Daleville daily at 1 80 p. m. Train No. [. which is about the fastest on the Missouri Pacific system, is due shortly after l D. m, and it was reported on time this afternoon. After MT Horne got three fourths of the way across, No. appeared not far away, perhaps running at a speed of sixty miles per hour. Bill Ashley observed the trans anproach and also saw MT. Horne. Re alizing that the old gentleman was not aware of his danger and that he could not hear well or see far Bill gained the bridge after short sprint and literally dashed down the dangerous path, reach ing the old man in the niche of tune. MT. Horne was startled by the warning and was momentarily bewildered, and with no time to spare young Ashley k said to have almost lifted the aged man and set him down on the project | ing sill that crosses few feet under the rails. Warning MT. Horne to duck his head and hold tight, Ashley then leaned across the track and gained the other end of the sill, having no sooner cached safety of the other perch whef No. [ shot past. The train is reported to have not slackened its speed, nol whistled. After regaining his compos ure Mir. Horne proceeded to Dalevlilt in order to catch his train and meet hiS engagement and marry the couple thai waited.
 Bill Ashley says he was one scared human after it was all over. It wouio have been easy to have made a miss step while running the trestle, and Ii that ease probably both of the mef would have lost their lives. We nom mate Bill for a Carnegie Medal.-Arka delphia Siftings-Herald.

New York, March 14.-Wage reduc- tions proposed for unskilled labor by railroads in the East probably will be rejected by the workers, a canvass of officials of the interested union organ izations indicated tonight.

 Workers pracstically have agreed to decline the wage cuts and let the whole matter go to the Railroad Labor Board at Chicago. The unions say figures and data submitted by the railroads do not show sufficient cause for the re- ductions and cannot be substantiated in hearing.
 The latest reductions proposed by the railroads was made today by the Cen tral Railroad of New Jersey, which would cut wages of all unskilled labor from 10 to r cents an hour, effective Aprinl 1. Union, representatives will make ther reply to this porposal March 24.
 Wage reductions ranging from 16 to g per cent for marine workers employ ed by the railroads in New York harbor have been agreed upon by Official Gen enal Managers Association. The pro posal will be submitted immediately : the workers.
 The reduction the marine workers will he asked to accept would wipe out the increases granted by the War Labor Board to the employees, effective May | 1 last aftera series of strikes. Alp proximately COCO workers are affect ed.
