The Clinton News-Record, 1898-03-10, Page 7&. RETAINING A SEAT. A Jinlgnu•11t Ovhlrh it. of Interest to Hall- 'llay Travelers. A judgment of the greatest Import- ancic and interest to railway travelers was delivered recently by Judge Em- de,a. A gentleman traveling from London to Hastings had occasion to leave the carriage at -Tunbridge, Wells, and Look the ordinary precaution of reserving Itis seat with his vnnbrella and newspapers. While he was ab- sent another passenger seized his place and refused to vacate it until forcibly ejected. As a result an action for damages was brought aga,itast the ori- gralal aw'ner of the seat by the intrud- or, and a counter-olaim for similar damages was ojitered by the other side a. well. The judlgme'at delivered was one which will common 1 itself to nine- ty,nina out of every hundred travelers, The claim for damages for ejectment was dijinusad and the counter claim al- lowed. For the future, therefore, the can- t k ersis' Ln ar, oro individual who us nd P dd�turbing the cc.mt'ort and convenience of trat oler;s on the manner indicated will know how he stands, and that if the owner of the seat thi'n'ks fit to bundle: trim out neck and crop the lat- ter will not only have the sympathy of the public but the law as well an his 61". TUrere can be no question what- ever that the universal made of retain - }'ng a seat in a railway carriage is a ,most reasonable and convenient one, and the thanks of the public are due to Judge E'wden for his very clear and -emntble interpretation of the law. Not tho least important point in his judg- mmit is his assertion that the holder of a seat was entitled to use reasonable force to eject an intruder. __- __ _ THE OLDEST 'THRONE CHAIR. The oldest throne or state chair in existence is that ,which belonged to (use � an Hatsho1 isu who lived about 1000 years B. C., This throne is now in the British museum. It is made of hard wood and highly ornamented, the carv- ing being very curious throughout. Round the legs there is a quantity of .;old Wigrea work, ;and from these Ftp l'ITlf,r out, as it were, two cobras mod -.bed in silver. The termination of the throne legs are well de=igned hoofs.

Rash Trade or occupation Has Its Special Disease, It Is well known among' medical men that certain diseases are more rapidly, developed in certain occupations than In others. That each ogcupation has tte attendant physical weakness, lrn- gineers, railroad men, and similar oc- cupations suffer mostly from kidney troubles,, and men who are often ex- posed to the weather suffer from rheu- matism, while clerks and professional men, in fact the army of people whose business kees.s them indoors, are of- tentimes gt•eat sufferers from piles and a..nstinaticn. In this connection the following letter 1s of interest to r.eople whose occupation will not allow sufficient outdoor exercise. A Dromfnent Grand Trunk railroad roan says:-" Having suffered Intense- ly fOr veers with Hiles (not being able to sleep for nights), and having tried different ointments with only tempor- ary relief, I was advised to give Trask's Maxnetto Ointment a trial, which I did, and feel thankful. After using three bottles, I feel that I am completely cured. I consider its as- tnnishing efficacy truly marvellous. Wherever I have recommended this ointment, the results rnroved as satis- factory as in my case. Any sufferer should Give this wonderful remedy a trial, and I feel certain they will say as I do, that it cannot be snoken of too highly."—J. C. I'rt ster, Toronto.

A judgment of the greatest Import- ancic and interest to railway travelers was delivered recently by Judge Em- de,a. A gentleman traveling from London to Hastings had occasion to leave the carriage at -Tunbridge, Wells, and Look the ordinary precaution of reserving Itis seat with his vnnbrella and newspapers. While he was ab- sent another passenger seized his place and refused to vacate it until forcibly ejected. As a result an action for damages was brought aga,itast the ori- gralal aw'ner of the seat by the intrud- or, and a counter-olaim for similar damages was ojitered by the other side a. well. The judlgme'at delivered was one which will common 1 itself to nine- ty,nina out of every hundred travelers, The claim for damages for ejectment was dijinusad and the counter claim al- lowed. For the future, therefore, the can- t k ersis' Ln ar, oro individual who us nd P dd�turbing the cc.mt'ort and convenience of trat oler;s on the manner indicated will know how he stands, and that if the owner of the seat thi'n'ks fit to bundle: trim out neck and crop the lat- ter will not only have the sympathy of the public but the law as well an his 61". TUrere can be no question what- ever that the universal made of retain - }'ng a seat in a railway carriage is a ,most reasonable and convenient one, and the thanks of the public are due to Judge E'wden for his very clear and -emntble interpretation of the law. Not tho least important point in his judg- mmit is his assertion that the holder of a seat was entitled to use reasonable force to eject an intruder. __- __ _ THE OLDEST 'THRONE CHAIR.

The annual meeting of the share- holders of the British American Assur- ance Company was held in the com- pany's offices, Nos. 18, 20 and 22 Front street east, Toronto, on Friday, the 18th February. The President, I•Ion. Geo. A. Cox, oc- cupied the chair. Mr. P. H. Sims was appointed to act as Secretary, and read the following report, which, on motion, was adopted: ANN UAL REPORT. In presenting the Sixty -Fourth An- nual Financial Statement of the Com- pany, the Directors have pleasure in calling attention to the following re- sults of the year's business. The balance of income over expendi- ture, as shown by the Revenue Ac- count, is $100,832,74. There has been a net appreciation in the market value of Securities of $14,147.93. The Reserve Fund has been increas- ed from $5•'8,883.84 to $5911,361,51, after providing $52,500 for two half -yearly dividends, at the rate of seven per cent. per annwn. The estimated liability on current po- licies is $511,982.86, an amount more than ample, according to the Com- ,:any's past, experience, to run off all existing risks, and after providing for this there, is a net surplus over capital and all liabilities of $79,381.65. In all departments a decrease is shown in loss ratios as compared with those of the previous year. The Directors express their appre- ciation of the efficient services of the Officers, Special Agents and Represen- tatives of the Company during the pass: year. ,111 of which is respectfully submit- ted.

Rash Trade or occupation Has Its Special Disease, It Is well known among' medical men that certain diseases are more rapidly, developed in certain occupations than In others. That each ogcupation has tte attendant physical weakness, lrn- gineers, railroad men, and similar oc- cupations suffer mostly from kidney troubles,, and men who are often ex- posed to the weather suffer from rheu- matism, while clerks and professional men, in fact the army of people whose business kees.s them indoors, are of- tentimes gt•eat sufferers from piles and a..nstinaticn. In this connection the following letter 1s of interest to r.eople whose occupation will not allow sufficient outdoor exercise. A Dromfnent Grand Trunk railroad roan says:-" Having suffered Intense- ly fOr veers with Hiles (not being able to sleep for nights), and having tried different ointments with only tempor- ary relief, I was advised to give Trask's Maxnetto Ointment a trial, which I did, and feel thankful. After using three bottles, I feel that I am completely cured. I consider its as- tnnishing efficacy truly marvellous. Wherever I have recommended this ointment, the results rnroved as satis- factory as in my case. Any sufferer should Give this wonderful remedy a trial, and I feel certain they will say as I do, that it cannot be snoken of too highly."—J. C. I'rt ster, Toronto. Trask's Magnetto Ointment is not only the safest and surest remedy for piles, but it is the, best-known and rnest popular•. Every phvsician and druggist in the country knows it, and what it will do.
