WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Declsloa of Aldennu Blair ia Case of
ol Williami Aialnst Richards-Letis-la
live Fljht In First District
'It'a the law. but It's niishty hard
medicine to take," remarked Alderman
lilalr in refiiem-e to that ca3c of Will
iams against Richards, in which he
was called upon to li.akt a decision.
The case was mentioned in The Trib
une. A 4-year-olJ son of David Will
iams, of North Hyde I'ark avsnu-
threw a stone through a window in tlia
residence of George liicvmrtis, on North
Main avenue. Klchards swore out a
warrant for the arrest of the boy's fa
ther, charging him for the son mis
' behavior and asking for damages t
the eSfctent uf a few cents over Si. . at
torney V. It. Lewis represented the
defendant. The alderman withheld his
decision for two duys In ord-r to give
tne attorneji a thance 1 to prove hid
case. i. e. that the father was nt re
sponsible. Here la the opinion uf Hi
alderman founded on Attorney Lewis"
law t(uotutioiis:
"Th general rule Is that a father Is
not liable fur the torts of his Junior
child. A parent cannot be held
liable for the wilful trespasses of his
Infant children when he neither as
enta to or ratifies them. On
the whole It may be stated that as u
rule a father is nut liable in damages
for the torts of his child, committed
without his knowledge, consent, par
ticipation, or sanction, and not in the
course of his employment of the child."

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.
New Tork. May 87. There was a c
approach to absolute stagnation at
stock exchange today, total sales fox
Ing up only S5.061 shares. At interval-,
business cam nearly to a complete
standstill, the sales between 1 and
1.30 o'clock amounting to 1,000
shares. In the time mentioned not a
single transaction was reported In the
Industrials, which is something very
unusual. The indisposition to make
new ventures Is still due to the uncer
tanty regarding the standing of the
leading candidate for the presidential
nomination and tho fear of hostile leg
islation by the senate in the matter of
government bond Issues. On the other
hand the continuance of the gold export
movement and the low prices of form
products caused a little liquidation in
certain securities. There was no out
side business to speak of, and the oper
ations tor foreign account cut no figure
in the dealings. The changes except in
rare instances were confined to narrow
limits. General Electric scored the
greatest variation among the usually
active stocks, and fell from 35 to33
ou the announcement of the organisa
tion of the Walker company with a
capital of $5,000,000 to manufacture elec
trical appliances by ex-Governor Flow
er and associates. Illinois Central sold
at against 97, the last previously
reported transaction. Only 300 shares
of the stock changed hands and the de
cline was ascribed to a lack of demand
rather than to any material alteration
In the condition of the property. Read
ing and Missouri Pacific were some
what lower on poor traffic statements,
but the loss In either case was slight.
Sugar ranged between l'J2? and 124,
closing at 123, while Tobacco ranged be
tween 664 and 7H4. Distillers was
without sale. Pacific Mall was another
stock which was neglected. The pre
liminary report for the year was made
public today and It was a comparative
ly good one. Net earnings decreased
slightly as compared with the previous
year, but cash on hand Increased over
1400.000 and now stands at $610,439.
Just near the close Sugar developed a
bit more activity and the traders sold
the railway list. As a rule speculation
closed barely steady in tone. Net
changes show losses of 5lVi per cent.
