Llaljilitr for Accidental Deaths.
Riiilwny World.
Among the decisions rendered by
the Supreme Court, tin January 6th,
wag one of considerable interest and
Importance, as it fixes the limit of the
liability of the Pennsylvania Hail
road Company for death resulting
from accident on the road.
Mary A. Langdon, for herself and
her children, brought suit for $20,000
damages for the death of her husband
against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, operating the Western
Pennsylvania Railroad, and got a
verdict for $3,712.00 in Common Pleas
Court No.l, of Allegheny county.
The undisputed facts of the case are
as follows; Stephen Langdon was an
employee of the company defendant,
but was not engaged on the Western
Pennsylvania Railroad, where the ac
cident oceured. He was inspector of
locomotives at the outer depot, at
Pittsburgh. The depot had been
burned by the rioters the day before
the accident occurred. He lived on
the line of the Western Pennsylva
nia Railroad, u few miles out of the
city, and was in the habit of riding to
and from his home daily on a com
mutation ticket, such as is usually
sold to passengers. At the time of his
death he was riding in the baggage
car. While Langdon was sitting in
the baggage car, and after the train
had left Sharpsburg it collided with
the mail train, injuring him so severely
tiiat he died in a few hours. If lie
had been in the smoking car or any of
the passenger cars lie would not have
been injured.
The part of the decision of the
most general interest was on a point
raised by the company's counsel which
was refused by the court below. They
claimed that as the company had
never accepted the benefit of any leg
islation under the new constitution
that in no eve.it could there be a re
covery greater than the sum of 5.000,
because of the acceptance by the com
pany of the act of April 4th, 1S08.
The Supreme Conrt, Mr. 'justice
Trunkey dissenting, say that the
court below erred in refusing this
point. The following is the substance
of the decision on this point:
J. lie second section of the act of 4th
April, lS'iS, limits the amount to be
recovered in actions against railroad
companies and common carriers for
negligence to ,$3,000 for injuries and
S5.000 in case of death. The consti
tutionality of that act, so far as it
limits the liability case of death, was
con firmed by the Supreme Court in
the case of the Cleveland and Pitts
burgh Railroad Co. vs. Rowan. The
act has never been repealed by the
legislature. It was contended, how
ever, that it has been repealed bi
section 21 of article 3, of the consti
tution, which is as follows:
No art of the general assembly shall limit
the amount to be recovered for injury or In
juries to persons or property ; anil in case of
death from Hiieh injuries the right of action
shall survive, and the general Assembly shall
prescribe for whose benefit such aetiou shall
be prosecuted. No act shall prescribe any
limitations of time within which suits may
be brought against corporations for Injuries
to persons or property, or for other causes
different from those fixed by general laws
regulating actions against natural persons,
mid such acts now existing are avoided.
The first portion of this section ends
with a period and is complete in itself.
It has no reference to corporations as
distinguished from natural persons,
and imposes a restriction upon the
power of the legislature to limit the
amount to be recovered in cases of
injuries or death. Jt speaks for fie
future only and avoids no existing
acts. The second part of the section
prohibits any limitations of time
within which actions for such causes
shall be brought against corporations
other than those fixed by general laws,
and avoids nil such existing acts.
That is to say, it avoids all existing
laws imposing limitations upon the
time of bringing suit other than those
in harmony -with general laws. This
is the plain reading of the section.
The act of 1S08 is not such an act. It
uit, but to the amount to be recovered.
sid- from this the fourth section of
lie act of 18t5 provides that "upon
. V. ...... .1 .
niu iict:i'iULiii!:e: ill r nrtwiwinnu
icreof by any carrier or corporation
he same shall become a part of its act
.f incorporation." It was in evidence
ltat the defendant company had for.
iiimij in.-i.i-jHv.-ii mo provisions oi me
ict of 1808 ; so that, at the time of the
adoption of the constitution, the pro
visions of said act limiting the
miount to be recovered in the case of
leath to $5,000 was part of the charter
f the company. The effect of the
onstitution upon the charters exist-
g at the time of lis passage had been
efore the court in the case of Hays vs.
lie Commonwealth, when it was de-
ided that charters of private corpora-
ions are left exactly as the new con-
itution found them, and so they
ust remain until the companies
olding them shall enter into a new
infract with the State by accepting
le benefit of some future legislation.

Washington, I). C. Jan. 17, 1 SHU.
The House is still wrestling Willi its
new code of rules, but makes little
headway in adjusting the differences
of opinion which have developed
duingthe dally debates. Party lines
re often Ignored in these discussions,
and there is n promise that the rules,
before final adoption, will beprunedns
severely as the hatter's sign mentioned
by Dr. Franklin, yet the Democrats
will not abate the additional political
power conferred by certain of the new
rules, and these will, of course, be
approved, no matter how much the
Republicans may protest. It would
bo queer, indeed, if the dominant
party should omit taking full advan
tage of whatever powers which it
could appropriate, no matter whether
in the Capitol or in Maine; and we
fancy that certain provisions looking to
limiting the filibustering field of the
minority will be adopted without
change. One of the proposed rules
seems eminently proper. In the
past the members selected their' seats
by lot, at the opening of the first ses
sion, by which means the leaders of
the House were often sent to the out
side circle, and could only secure more
desirable positions by exchange with
more fortunate members. The new
rule will make length of service the
basis of selection, thus giving the old
members that advantage to which
they are entitled. Asa general thing
the new members take no part in the
battles where parliamentary tactics
are involved, and they are simply
observers of the fray; hence, as lookers-on
the outside circles are as suita
ble to them as the inner, from which
only a leader can act effectively.
The House, however, is doing more
real work in passing bills ami reso
lutions than has been usual the first
part of the session and white the rules
start the windmill of debate into full
speed, yet general legislation is at
tended with a noticeable paucity of
discussion. In the Senate Mr. P.ay-
ard's financial theories have been
about the only matter of interest np
i tearing in its work. The sessions
ore very short, rarely lasting till 2
o'clock and the various committees are
leporting a surprising amount of husi
nefs for action by the Senate. The
ladies are pouring into both House
hundreds of petitions praying for such
amendment to the Constitution as will
enable them to vote, and they are
marshaling their hosts here witli a
view to follow up these petitions by
a vigorous assault upon Congress in
personal demand for their politic::!
rights.
We referred last week to the murder
of a citizen, a Mr. Hirth, a well-to-do
grocer. Since then the negroes coin
mittimg the crime have been arrested,
and so great was the excitement and
public demonstration over the affair,
that the police feared an attempt at
rescue and lynching. Though there
weiemany threats, yet none put in
execution, and the criminals will re
ceive the regular legal investigation
in our Courts. One of the four men ar
rested has confessed the crime, and his
statements are such as to convince
the police that they have the right
parties, particularly so since he is cor
roborated by other evidence, which
seems indisputable. Mr. Hirth was a
highly respected young man, and at
the time of his murder was on his
way to visit the young lady to whom
he was engaged to lie married. His
death has given a feeling of great in
seburity, inasmuch as it was caused by
an assault made In a well-settled
street, and right by dwelling houses,
the inmates of which could hear the
deadly blows.
The case of Miss Lucy Rhett Wal
ton Horton, for shooting Mr. John IT.
Morgan, son of Senator Morgan, on
New Year's day, has been indefinitely
postponed in the police court. At the
request of Miss Horton 's counsel,
Mrs. Loekwood relinquished her pur
pose of moving, as surety on bail bond
for a dismissal of the case. She had
no intention of requesting to be re
lieved, but was and is anxious that, if
nothing more is to be done with the
case, the girl may be relieved of the
charge, so as to render the task of
getting her employment easier. Miss
Horton is represented as being very
anxious to obtain work of some kind,
so as to cease being a burden to the
friends which her necessity has drawn
around her. Mr. Morgan was in
court, and appears fully recovered
from his hurt, which was, at worst,
but a slight flesh wound. Mrs. Lock
wood is an earnest advocate of women's
rights, not only as to suffrage, but in
all other respects. Her suretyship of
Miss Horton is in keeping with her
conduct generally, for she is ever
ready to extend aid to any suffering
oppressed sister, and in this ease young
Mr. Morgan will realize, before he gets
through with Miss Horton, that la
has after him a dogged persistent figh
ter in Mrs. Judge Loekwood, who will
never cease her eflorts until her client,
Miss Horton, has secured the fullest
and amplest redress that the courts of
the District can give her. Mrs.
Loekwood is an able lawyer, and has
earned, since she entered the legal
profession quite a handsome property
through her talents. She will take a
prominent part, as in the past, in the
National Women's Suffrage Conven
tion, which will soon assemble here,
for her knowledge of law and of legis
lative matters are so great as to put
her ut the head. Not however, in
that mere wordy declamation of
wrongs which brings sevral of her
sisters to the front, but in real effect
Ivencss us u worker uud counselor.
Old Boreas has j;iven the first
touches of real winter by covering us
Willi a maiitlu of snow, which hides
&I1 the feature of curly spring which
shorn on every hand. The sun has
shone warmly and bribiaiitly, the
country roads were hardly muddy,
occisIm:",! v .n v the thermometer
fell to a pinching point of cold, an-'
ns in the beginning of the Ccnteliui...
year, we have hardly been aware
that midwinter was upon us until
now the whitened house tops and com
mons prove It to us.
The celebrated redskin, Chief Ouray
with his wife and several other Ute
chiefs, Is now one of our great object
of curiosity, and attracts more atten
tion than any other Indian delegation
sienco the advent of Sitting Hull,
years ago. He Is a fine looking fellow
if it bo proper to draw any compari
sons among Indians. As all Indians
have the general characteristics of
race in their high cheek bones, red
skin, black eyes and hair, and large
muscular development, it is as difll
cult to say one is handsomer or more
attractive than another, as to draw
distinctions between two eggs. An
egg is an egg, nnd an Indian is an
Indian, and Ouray is an Indian in
every muscle and lineament.
The President gave his usual
monthly reception on the night of the
l"th, which was largely attended, and
was as brilliant, in all respects, as any
of its predecessors, in decoration of
the White House and In richness and
display of fashion and dress by Mrs.
Hayes and her attendants, and the
lady callers. The plchian, of course
put in his appearance, and the lie
spangled foreign attache and second
lieutenant, whose huge brass epau
lettes were not half so large; as bis
conceit, hail often to elbow their way
through the great unwashed throng,
whose dress did not exceed the in
evitable shiney, well-worn broadcloth
coat and black alpaca dress.
