Outcome of a Suit for Dnmnges with Re
markable Circumstances*
Chicago, May 9.—The United States
court of appeals by a decision rendered
Friday in the damage suitof Miss Marin
Caliili vs. the St. l'aul railroad for loss
of both feet in a crossing accident re
versed the decision of Judge Seaman,
of Milwaukee, which was given for the
company under remarkable circum
stances. The court instructed the jury
to bring in a verdict for the company
because the woman was not on a pub
lic crossing and a trespasser. One after
another tiie jurors arose and refused to
return such a verdict after hearing tin:
evidence. The judge directed the jury
to retire, and when they returned it
was with a verdict of $'J5,000 damages
for Miss Cahill. The verdict was set
aside by the court and under protest
the jury entered one for the company,
except Julius H. Clayton, who told the
court he "would rather rot in jail" than
do so. To save the juror from jail the
plaintiff allowed the verdict, for the
:ompany to stand and an appeal was
taken. The court of appeals gave Miss
Cahill a new trial.
HOHENLOHE RESIGNS.

To Serve Till 1'ulL
Berlin, May 9.—Chancellor von Ho

ed by the emperor. There is no ill-feel
ing, and the chancellor's wife and

Order of Louise. The chancellor will
vacate his office in September.
Prince von Hohenlolie has been in
office since October, 1894, having suc
seeded Caprivi. He is a Bavarian and
was born 77 years ago. He never had
any serious disagreement with the

ment is his age and ill health. For some

his duties in the relchstag and bundes
rath. That the prince has resigned is
great surprise. It is supposed one
:ause of the resignation is the proposed
reform of the military tribunals. It is

not in accord with advanced opinion
upon this subject.

Vigorous Protest from tlic Government
Against Sentences PaSBed.
Washington, May 9. —The passage of
the death sentence on the men caught
on the filibuster Competitor, it is stated,
Is liable to bring a crisis in the relations
between Spain and the United States.
It is understood that this government
will not allow the executions to take
place without an earnest and vigorous
protest against the summary manner
in which the trial was conducted.
Secretary OIney several days ago sent
instructions in no uncertain tone to
Consul General Williams, and these
formed the basis of the representations
made by Mr. Williams to the court-mar
tial Friday. Every effort is being made
to prevent the execution of the sentence
until this government can make a thor
ough investigation on which to base,
appeals or demands.
Secretary OIney had a long interview
with the president on the subject Sat
urday morning and on his return to the
state department sent telegrams to
Madrid and Havana.
