A WHOLESOME DECISION.
A Telephone Company Has to Pay Eonndly
I"or Damaging; Trees.
The newspapers lately contained an
account of a lawsuit which has interest
for every one who believes that the
owner of a tree has a right to complain
when it is recklessly mutilated. The
employees of a telephone company were
stretching wires along the road which
skirts the property of Mr. George "W.
Hawkins, near Newburg, and in doing
so they disfigured half a dozen spruce
trees, which had been planted by his
father, by cutting off the branches. No
consent to this mutilation had been given hy the owner of the trees, and the
linemen, as usual, had. used their saws
and axes without mercy.
Mr. Hawkins sued the company for
§600, estimating the damage at §100 a
tree. The jury gave a verdict for §500.
Under the provisions of the code in this
state Mr. Hawkins' lawyers then moved
that a triple judgment he made, and
the court astounded the defendants hy
granting this and increased the judgments to §1,500. It is to he hoped that
the higher courts "will confirm this judgment and hold that a growing tree has
a value heyond the mere amount of timber it contains, and that the owner has
a right to watch its growth and enjoy
its beauty and to derive pleasure from
its associations. The courts should take
into account that a tree cannot be replaced in many years, and the wanton
destruction of such property ought to
call for exemplary damages. Ever since
the country was settled we have been
learning how to cut down trees, but it
is high time that we learn the real
value of those which have escaped and
stand where they can delight us by
their beauty and refresh ns with their
shade.
The decision of this Orange county
judge is a wholesome one, and such decisions are needed to teach the linemen
of telephone and telegraph companies a
lesson which will make them more cautious about invading private rights.—

RAIL ROBBERIES IN   ITALY.
A Kevlval of the Outrages Whicli Were
Suppressed Three Years Ago.
Three years ago the Italian government, yielding to urgent representations
from nearly every country in Europe,
made a vigorous eiforb to stop the systematic robberies on Tailroads, which had
attained the dimensions of a national
scandal. The depredations were traced
to an organized gang composed mainly1
of railroad servants well equipped with
false keys of every known pattern. The
robbers were duly tried and sentenced.
For a couple of years after that travelers
were able to move about Italy with no
more thannormal risks, but last autumn
the systematic thefts of baggage in transit recommenced and have now reached a scale equal to that of 1S90-1.
Tho members of the new gang are
carrying on their operations in the most
impudent- manner. Trunks are opened
en route, rifled of their more valnablo
contents aud carefully relocked. Occasionally they are taken out of the cars
at intermediate stations in order that
thoy may be examined at greater leisure
by the confederates. Until recently the
thieves had kept their felonious hands
off the mails, but they arc now stealing
registered letters by wholesale, and this
daring development will probably prove
to be their -undoing, for complaints are
pouring into Eome from foreign post-
offices, and the government is bound to
take effective action.—Koine Letter.
A USEFUL MACHINE.
It Counts Two Thousand Silver Dollars a
?.r?imite Xn the Pliila&t-lphia Itfint.
The feat of counting 2,000 silver dollars per minute is now being performed
at the mint by a little machine invented by Sebastian Heines, the chief carpenter of tho institution, and by its aid
the work of counting the coin aud
weighing the silver bars can, it is
thought, be completed by the middle of
July. The slow progress made in counting by hand led Mr. Heines to experiment, with the result, after the expenditure of much thought .and time, of
turning out a very successful machine.
Mr. Morgan of Mint Director Preston's office was greatly interested in the
experiments, and upon witnessing the
final successful test of the invention he
granted permission for its use in counting the great mass of silver dollars. The
machine was put into regular operation
yesterday, and -when worked to its limit was easily able to dispose of two bags
of coins containing §3,000 iu a minute.
Tho machine consists of a hopper, into
which the coins are dropped. A cogwheel, the teeth of which resemble those
of a circular saw, carries the coins to
tubes, and from there they are forced
out upon a little table containing 20
grooves, each of which holds just 50
coins. A turn of the crank counts 1,000
coins, which are immediately put into
a bag, and a second thousand follows
before the expiration of the minute.—

'Shu Entry List is a Surprise to tine

Out Ftt.st at tlie Trad? Xoivailays.
Everything looks favorable for tlie opening of the new traclc of tlie Detroit Driving Club on July 10, when tliere will be
assembled at tliis fast course more trot-
ccrs and pacers than have ever taken part
in a !?5x-.lay meeting in this country. Tlie
entries, -which closed on Monday, July 2,
were a surprise even to the management.
True, it had been expected that.the number of prospective starters would run far
beyond SOO, but it was never thought that
there would be sueh an average as the
mails in the last day or two have disclosed. From California's sunny slopes,
wcrid-f.imed for their fast colts and fillies,
co-.ne t'1.0 choic? of the get of Electioneer,
Direct-;.-, ilextpr Frince, and otlier sires
wh w!i> lTu^eny have mad'e their names
univt i\-al. Even Texas, where breeding
the ti-o-t v is a comparatively late industry. ;.cufls. choice ones, anil working
on up trhrr ni4h the southern stales, Tennessee contributes tlu* usually formidable
r-oiiih'i.-ent of lateral-gaited fellows, and
K**n;;t<-i-:y tin* trotters rich in the blood
of C<.o'":*e Yt'ilUes and his sons. Every
on" of tii*» C'-*iUra! states has its quota,
and . stll Kf> trir*d eampaisners of the
east'.'ra strings handled by Geers, Turner,
Quintan nnd such drivers are named to
start in the IV.ue Ribbon Meeting of 1S94.
Hut this jKvthoriiiK of campaigners will
not be surro-.raded by fixtures a whit less
brilliant than the performers themselves.
The new u-:t'k merits such an outpouring, for. without exception, it is the
gTrrildcst of all trotting courses in the
World. The Un'shing touches have been
put on. and as one stands under the
wiiv and looks up the hill which slants
into the strctoh, and then gazes at the
mis'vni-lcM-it grand stand, it is hard to
real;::" that the bell had tapped for the
Ian time at old Hamtramek before the
shovel and pick began to do the work
wliich has been brought to such a grand
CO*STpiOtiOTi,
H< r.*-e,< rrr.re beginning to arrive for their
pret'-irrnory work on this track, and the
most notal.le string to come will be that
of ISutltl noble, which is. due here Sunday. July R. Mr. Doble will jog his horses
some on the clay following, and after that
will give them miles calculated to put
them t.*i condition for the battles of the
151u" H:i>!i->rt week. It is thought there
v.-'li ' " f r "ly 2W horses at the track hs

In the Interest of Koatl Improvement.
The agricultural department has issued a circular letter to be sent to all
railroad presidents in the United States,
offering suggestions for their co-operation in the good roads movement.* Many
of the railway companies have made
concessions in transporting road materials ranging from half rates to free carriage. Others have offered to carry the
freight at the bare cost of hauling whenever a general improvement be tinder-
taken. It is suggested that the latter
plan be generally adopted. The method
of computing the cost, it is cited, could
be defined and a board constituted for
adjusting the rates to be granted in accordance with local conditions. The circular says:
"Such a combined concession would
be of immense value to the public, while
it would involve little actual expense to
the companies, and its bare announcement would do more to advance the road
movement than years of purely educational worlc It would be an inspiration
to prompt action by state and local authorities throughout the Union. Should
anything in the state or national statutes
be found to inhibit such discrimination
in rates, the legislative authorities would
no doubt quickly remove the obstacles
in tho interest of the public welfare."
Street SprinMing.
The quantity of water required to
keep macadam roads from becoming
dusty depends on the conditions of the
weather, the land of material used in
the roadway, the dimensions of the
roadway and. its exposure to the sun.
In the vicinity of New York city it was
determined some years ago that 1,000
square yards of road surface could be
kept fairly free of dust by the use of a
sprinkler which spread water at the rate
of 71.3 cubic feet twice a day on each
1,000 square yards of road surface, making a total of 143 cubic feet of water for
each 1,000 square yards. But some road
materials are softer than others, and the
wear of their surfaces is consequently
faster, and this hastens the accumulation of dust If the road is exposed to
the hot sun and warm breezes, the water evaporates very quickly. The figures
given above will perhaps represent a,
fair average, but to determine the figures
with exactness each locality must be
subjected to a separate test.—Exchange.
