WEATHER SIGNALS.

Explanation of tlielr Moving BINOLE WEATHER SIGNALS.

Number 1, white ting, six feet square, always indicates clear or fair weather, do rain. . Number 2, blue Hag, six feet square, indicates rain or snow. Number it, black, triangular Hag ' "ilte feet nt the and six feet in length, always refers to teiuperaf ture. When placed above numbers lor 2 it indicates warmer weather; when placed below numbers 1 or 2 it indicates colder weather; when not displayed, the indications are that the temperature will remain, stationary, or that the change in temperature will not vary five degrees from the temperature of the same hour of the proceeding day. ( Number 4, cold wave flag, six feet square, with black center, indicates the Approach of a sudden and decided fall in temperature. This signal is usually ordered at least 24 hours in advance of the cold wave. It is not displayed unless a temperature of 45 degrees, or less, is expected, uor is flag number 3, displayed with it. When two~orihree flags are displayed, in combination, the one highest cm the pole indicates jthe weather to be expected first and the flags lower clown indicate the weather to come later. Various combinations are sure to occur, but the one thing most necessary to bo ..remembered, after fixing in the mind what each flag indicates, as explained above, is to read the signals from above downward.

We give some combinations that are likely to occur: I Black above white, warmer, fair ———- —— - White above black, fair weather, colder. . . IE the white, blue, black and p white with black center hags were ; all displayed at once, the white I' highest, and the others in the or- \ der named, the combination would i indicate fair weather, followed by rain or snow, colder, with a cold wave. A mixture of weather often L experienced in this latitude. As we have previously re mar k- | ed, the white, fair weather signal does not necessarily indicate- elect r [ weather but simply weather free i from rain or snow, whether it be | clear or cloudy. The cold wave signal does not, mean a regular Dakota blizzard, nor anything similar | thereto, but it means, at least, a I sudden and sharp decline in temI perature of 15 or 20 -degrees, or I more. We advise all our readers who fpwish to understand the meaning of these weather signals, to cut out l this explanation and study it until |$ they understand it.

I ROM BARKLEY. Politics and chicken pox raging. Roads are in a terrible condition and ground full of water, making travel almost impossible. Airs. Emeline Switzer is still on the sick list, as a result of injuries received by a fall, about four weeks ago. The schools of the township are about all closed. All are said to have been very successfully taught. Independence school, taught by Maud Lewis, closed with a well attended exhibition, which was said to have been the equal of any entertainment of tlie kind, given at any of the schools, during the winter. Feed is beginning to rnn short, but cattle are in rather a good condition, considering the state of the weather, which has been very hard on stock of all kinds, for the last few weeks. W heat is pretty badly injured by bad weather, and in places is so near killed that it will not pay farmers to let it stand. * t AUKt Sall.

The Warren Wright Case Decided.

Most qf onr readers will remember the case of Brakeman Warren Wright against the I+, N. A. & G. Ry. Co.. tried in this county in the fall ot 1883. Wright was nearly killed while acting as to freight brukomaii,' by his head striking against an over-head bridge, over the above road, ntt Pdtpamville, near;:' Green castle. At the trial Wright was given slQt 000, the largest verdict over awarded by a Jasper county jury. The jury brought in their v&rdict, Nov. 23,1883. Jud gmeut w#s entered up by Judge Ward, March 26, 1884. The railroad took an appeal to the {Supreme Court, and final decision was not reached until last Friday. The judgment has been drawing 6 per cent, interest from the date judgment was rendered by the jury, so that the amount the railroad must pay Wright is $12,600. The decision of the Supreme Court was in favor of Wright, The following is the abstract of the decision: L. N. A. & C. Ry, Co. vs. Warren Wright. Jaspei G-C. Affirmed Zol lars, J.--Action by a bmkeman against a railroad company for personal injuries. Appellee maintained an ever head bridge upon a highway crossing its track. From the top of the rails to the bridge it was over fifteen feet. The box freight cars wore eleven feet high. The only way appellee could pass under the bridge in safety was to sit down or stoop, and he could do this aud apply the brakes. There wore no danger signals. Appellant knew of the dangerous place. Although appellee had passed under the bridge several times, he had no knowledge and was not notified of its dangerous character. The night on which he was injured was rainy and foggy, and the train passed under the bridge when the engineer signalled tor brakes, and the train backed up towards a station north of the. bridge. The appellee could not have seen the bridge had he looked, but he had his face in the opposite direction. He was struck in the back of the head. Suit as above. Hold, that the company had not used reasonable care in providing lor tlie safety of the brakeman. The fact that other railways had bridges too low for brakemen standing Or walking upon ordinary cars was not competent evidence.
