FAVORABLE TO RAILROADSIndiana Supreme Court Criticises Juries in Railway Suits—Most favorable Dedision Ever Rendered Toward the Railroads in Indiana. The Indiana supreme court has Tendered an important opinion to railroads of the state in the appealed case of the Lake Erie & Western against Jesse Stick. The railroad was granted a new trial by > the court, and the trial judge in the Jay circuit court was scored pretty roundly for his failure to grant a new trial on the exception taken by the railroad. The railroads and corporations in general, but especially railroads, are prey for certain classes of people who happen to meet with injuary on their right of-way. A railroad is always open to a damage suit, and lawyers of the black leg sort do not hesitate to work up claims against the roads. The pratice is regarded by reputable attorneys as most dangerous and of a most vicious character. In its decision in the Stick case the court says of this malicious practice: “That such a record as the one now bebefore us should reach this court is not so passing strange as to call for special notice. But when we find such condition of the verdict and evidence appearing here so frequently and uniformly in this class of cases it is enough to excite our wonder. If it sometimes happened that the verdict was for the defendent in -■'.such cases, and that what appears to us as a preponderance of the evidence was against the verdict, or that it was not supported by

such preponderance, then it would look more than it does like the judge had fairly, candidly and for good reason discredited and disbelieved the testimony of some of the witnesses. But when we find that they uniformly, and with scarcely a single exception, always discredit the witnesses that happen to testify on behalf of the defendant in such cases, it does seem passing strange and naturally excite suspicion that the juries have the impression that railroads and other corporations are the legitimate prey of very one who is bold enough to file a claim against them in court, regardless of the evidence or the facts. These things reflect no credit upon’our j uris-prudence, i nor can we close our eyes to them. Bnt however great the suspicion that the jury has through prejudice, or sympathy, or both, disregarded the weight and the preponderance of the evidence, this court is power less to remedy the evil, because it has no power to weigh the evidence.” The case decided by the court is where Stick, the original plaintiff, was accidently hurt on the right-of-way, but not seriously.—lndianapolis Sentinel. In this case the supreme court outdone itself, they have not only passed on the legal question presented to them, but have stooped to the practice that is becoming petifoger. They have set themselves up as mind readers, when they attempt to say how courts and jurors come to conclusion of facts in a law suit. From the number of overruled and modified cases that our reports contain one might be led to say, ‘‘What is wrong with those who we call able jurists?” The court that tried the above case is above reproach- and we believe the jury to equal any man or set of men who will thus attempt to vilify them. The power of courts is unabridged, but should they continue to abuse the powers intrusted to them the same ones that conferred the power on them may remove the same. Special G. A. R. Meeting.

WENIWTETIFIES. Durrant Makes a Favorable Impression on the Jury. STORY OF THE FATAL DAY. His Answer* Were Always Brief and to the Point and He Preserved Hie Uauel Calm Demeanor — When Queetloned About the Notes He Showed Some Hesitancy About Answering. San Francisco, Oct. 10.—Theodore Durrant, assistant superintendent of Emanuel church Sundayschool, was placed on the stand yesterday for the purpose of convincing tfid jury that he did not murder Blanche Lamont in the belfry of the church on April 3. With the same coolness that has characterized his conduct since his arrest, he denied the principal allegations that have been made against him by the most important witnesses for the prosecution. His answers were always brief and to the point, and many were interpreted to mean that he had studied his part well before taking the stand. Only onoe during the course of the direct examination did he show any nervousness or hesitancy. When Attorney Dickinson asked him if he took notes at Dr. Cheney’s lecture on the afternoon of April 3, he cast his eyes toward the floor and for a moment was silent. He replied that he had taken notes, but that they were brief. The hesitancy of the prisoner may be understood when it is explained that Gilbert F. Graham, one of Durrant’s most intimate friends, will testify that Durrant asked to borrow his notes of the lecture. When the request was made Dnrrant explained that he only needed the notes to establish a good alibi. Graham refused the request. Taken altogether Durrant’s direct testimony probably had a tendency to strengthen 'his case. His demeanor while on the stand was certainly intended to impress the jury with the opinion that he was telling the truth. Questions that would ordinarily cause a visible impression on a guilty man were answered by Durrant with the utmost unconcern. Even when Attorney Duprey asked him if on April 3, or at any other time he murdered or participated in the murdering of Blanche Lamont, the prisoner coolly replied in the negative. Durrant’* Movement on the Fatal Day. The prisoner was asked to relate his movements from the time he left his home in the morning until he returned at night. Dnrrant in reply said he met Miss Lamont on her way to school and rode with her on a street car until he reached Cooper Medical college. He said he remained at the college until 10 o’clock, when he and another student named Ross went for a walk. When he returned an hour later he went to the library where he was engaged in his studies until noon. Then he went to luncheon with a student named Diggins and returned at 1 o’clock. After luncheon Dnrrant remained in the library until 3:30 o’clock, when he attended Dr. Cheney’s lecture. He said he was present at the rollcall at the close of the lecture and answered to his name. At the close of the lecture he boarded a street car and rode to Emanuel church for the purpose of repairing the sun burners. He denied that he was accompanied by Blanche Lamont or anybody else. After repairing the burners Durrant said that he descended to the auditorium, where he found George King playing the organ. King remarked that Durrant looked pale. Dnrrant remarked that King would be in the same condition if he had been nearly overcome by escaping gas. He said he felt ill and ate bnt little supper. In the evening he went to prayer meeting at Emanuel church. “Did you, on April 3, in San Francisco or elsewhere,” asked Attorney Duepey, “inflict any. violence upon Blanche Lamont, or did yon kill or participate in killing her?” Durrant replied that he did not, and the direct examination was at an end. The cross-examination, which lasted only one hour before court took a recess till tomorrow, was confined to questions relative to the life of Durrant prior to April 3. G. A. R. BADGES BARRED. Overxealous Priest Refuses Admittance to Wearers of That Regalia. Detroit, Oct. 10.—During a funeral of an army veteran at Port Huron yesterday Father Spaeth, the Catholic priest who officiated, forbade the pallbearers to enter his church while wearing G. A. R. badges, on the grounds that regalia of any society not approved by the church is not permitted to be worn in the churches. The incident created a great deal of feeling at Port Huron. Bishop Foley was seen here yesterday afternoon and asked about the matter. He said that no rule prevailed which would prohibit the wearing of Grand Army badges in the churches, and that the Port Hnron priest, had committed an eggregious blunder if he excluded the pallbearers as stated. Patriotic Expressions, Atlanta, Oct. 10.—In his speech welcoming the guardians of the liberty bell yesterday, Governor Atkinson of Georgia referred to the Cuban war and expressed the hope that the island may soon be free, and added that the United States should not permit England to lay violent hands upon Venezuela. He was heartily applauded. Mayor Warwick of Philadelphia spoke in the same strain. Victim of the Belgian Wreck. » •* £ Brussels, Oct. 10.—William Frisque, whose home was in Wisconsin, was among the 104 persons wounded in the collision between a crowded passenger train and an engine near Mouspy. He has since succumbed to his injuries at Ottiguies, to which place ho was taken after having been removed from tho wreck.

4 Pleasure Trip. Dear Democrat: Having recently returned from a trip to Eastern Ohio, I will give you a short sketch of our trip My daughter Artie and I started from Decatur on the morning of September 24th. on the excursion afforded by the C. & E. railway company, and must say that the arcomo dations of that road are oxcellent. We were accompanied by the Bluffton Glee Club, which furnished us with instrumental and vocal music which added much to the merriment of our trip. We left the C. &E. at Ravanna, from thence we proceeded south to Stark and Carroll counties, where I had the pleasure of meeting a sister I had not seen for 26 years, also a brother 1 had not seen for ten years, besides a host of relatives and friends We all met in the city of Minerv i and had quite a reunion and a grand good time, something to be remembered by all as lodg as we live. We visited the old Fleming farm and gathered chestnuts from the same old tree I gathered from (> > tears ago. Taking the trip, the visit and the great privileges of viewing the land scape and scenery I bad viewed when a boy. The hills, dales, rocks and vales and the bright and sparkling water over which We used to sail. With hearts so gay. For miles away. Before the gentle gale. I stood and gazed upon them and was constrained to say, “It's years since thus we parted but here I weep today.” One more item and I am done We had a daylight view of the entire trip. 1 seen no part of the country that I thought surpassed old Adams county as a farming country.

The Boston Post very truly says of “The Black Cat,” the new Boston short-story magazine which has just made its appearance on the news-stands, that it is the thost fascinating five cents’woKh on earth. It* artistic, exquisitely lithoertophed cover, clear type, and captivating initial cuts and tail-pieces, present an outward Attractiveness whose promise is more than‘fulfilled by the unique interest of the seven original, complete, and stirring tales that makhup the contents of this first issue. As “The Black Cat” is devoted exclusively to such tales,—all good stories, well told, offered on their merits as stories, and not floated by the reputation of the writer, padded by no translations, borrowings, or stealings,—and all for five cents—it is undoubtedly destined to become the magazine of the people. Certainly the man who invests a nickel in this October number, which can be' obtained only at news-stands and newsdealers, will be, repaid a dozen times over for his outlay by such tales as “In Golden Time,”fa vivid account of a stirring episode) of California pioneer days; “Ina Tiger Trap,” an absorbing jungle story which hinges on the fact that “the royal Mallay tiger is no gentleman;” “The Secretofthe White Castle,” a ghostly an pathetic love story revealed to one who sought seclusion in a French chateau: “Miss Wood—Stenographer; “an absorbing cfetective tale centered around a supposedly deaf and dumb stenographer;” “Her Hoodoo,” an amusing encounter with a Colorado cowgirl college graduate. In which a little speckled heifer plays a star partfand “The Red-Hot Dollar,” a swift-ly-moving series of mysterious incidents linked by an equally mysterious coin: 30-1

We refer te Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. When it js kept at hand the severe pain of a burn or scald may be promptly relieved and the sore healed in much less time than whea medicine has to be sent for. A sprain may be promptly treated before inflammation sets in, which insures a cure in about onethird the time otherwise required. Cuts and bruises shoulD receive immediate attention, before yhe parts become swollen and when Chamberlain’s Pain Balm is applied it will heal them without matter being formed, and without leaving a scar. A sore throat may be cured in one night. A piece of flannel yampened with this liniment and bound on over the seat of pain, will cure lame back or pain in the side or chest in twenty-four hours.* It is the most r valuabe, however, for rheumatism. Per-' sons afflicted with this disease will be dedellghted with the prompt relief from pain which it affords, and it can be depended . upon to effect a complete cure.
