He claims that hislprio. cipal business has been to ,discover the. schemes and rascalities of certain parties,. and then to blackmail them to' keep him from diyulging. Some eight or ten years Since the Treasurer's office in Ashtabula county was robbed. Day. claims to have bean made cognizant of the 'robbery and employed to carry several thousand dollars to certain parties, but instead of do ing so he appropriated the money to his own use. This so incensed his confederates that they determined to 'punish him. He wa.4 taken and-bound, and while in this helpless condition; hot . needles were forced into his flesh, - and he was forced to 'swear eternal secrecfilunder a penalty of suffer ing a like punishment if he did not keep his promise. Two Years ago 1. 't summer patty of counterfeiter 4 in this place, en deavored to engage him to do s me work al p for ;them. (Day is a tolerable engraver.) After. finding, out their plans he ;refused to I do the work, but told them he wanted several hundred dollars hush money. One night he was decoyed into a place on Main street, knocked down, manacled and carried to a certain point on a back street, and put to tortures that woo shame the cruelties of the Spanish Inquisition One plan was to tickle the soles ofhis feet until he would faint- under the.excr elating agony After L i somewhat reviving, ed hot needles were driVen in his body, ! c gs, arms and cheeks: He says he knows the parties, but is afraid to Make their name public. How much triitb, there may be in his story we will not pretend to Say. The fact that his body is literally a needle cushion, leads to infer ence that some forcible means • were proba- I blyl used to place them there.

It grew out of an action brought by . a, Mrs. Rawson against the Pennsylvania Railiload Company, to recover the value of certain baggage destroyed whilst in transit . dyer the road of'that company. The meta,' been once tried in au inferior Court, w ere the jury rendered it verdict fur $3,0 . 4,1 10 diiinages, and it was taken up to the iSn preme Court, on an appeal from that judge ment. ; There Were two trunks .destr , yed in September, 1884, containing clot ing, h,ewelry and . other articles Crain - led to be the full' valite of the sum given by" the jury in their verdict.: An interesting -Ifea tore of the case was, that- it not only invol• ved the rightsof travellers on railroads in this state, but it also involved the rights of Married women. The defence seemed, to he based Mainly on . two points: first that the ticket giVen to this lady had pridted on it . a -limitation which restricted l i the passenger to 80 pounds of b ggage an i: of a value not i exceeding $lOO, unless upon notice giv-n and an extra amount paid for the luggage at double first class freig its; and second, that the property in the trunks was the gift of the husband and remained his property at .common law; that he, therefor,, should be plaintiff, and that Mrs. Rawson,. his wife, had nostanding inicourt. So far as the first point. is Concerned the Supreme Court reaffirmed what we !have frequently published .in these coluniris as the)aw On the sulject i trainely, that 'a rail way company account, bY• anynotice Placed on a ticket or elsewhere, even where" such notice is brorght . to the knowledge of those %hose persons OrpropertiT it undertakes to carry, avoid it responsibility as a coinnion carrier 14 the 'safe conveyance of what is entrirsted to it for transportation, or limits its responsibilit- by any such notice.
