LINCOLN , Jan. 19. Special. ) In recent sittings of the supreme court there has been a tendency toward a moro strict Interpreta tion ot the rules , whlcll has In a few cases caught the attorneys napping , but has also resulted In better nttentloji on the part ot the attorneys and a larger attendance at the opening of court. The dismissal of ono or two cases 'because ' of failure or neglect to file papers In time lisa causoJ attornejs to attend clocer to business. In a case yesterday morn. Ing 'the court Interpreted rule 9 , ns printed In Khe court caler.Oar , as to the time in which briefs were to be filed , that \\herJ the party serving briefs served them upon tbo opposite slda out of tlmo and the party upon whom summons vvsa made objected nnd pro- tinted at the time of the service because of the briefs being served out of time , the brief- , although on flic under such clrcunr- Btinccs , would not bo considered by the court. If the party who was In default In the service of the 'briefs ' was present at the tlmo of { submission ot the case , however , nnd wished to argue the cnsc orally , the oral ur- gurncnt would bo allowed , though his brlcl would not be considered. But where eervlco was made and no objection urged because of Us being scrvo.1 out of time , it would bo treated as n waiver on part of the. party upon whom the service was made and the brlefo would bo considered the same as though scivcd within the rule. Upon appli cation , however , of the Tiarty who uervcil his briefs In duo time , the court would as n matter of right permit the filing of the same upon the opposition , provided It did not da lay the submission of the cause. It Is under stood that the court ban uudcr consideration an amendment to rule 9. NEBRASKA VOLUNTEER MILITIA.

The demorallrs- tlon Is laid by the association lines at the door of the Plttsburg & Quit , agtlnst which all sorts ot charges nro made by Its compet itors. Ono charge made against It Is that It has been carrying passengers for nothing after they had been secured by another road. It Is snld to subordinate all things to Its policy ot building up Port Arthur , nnd the Missouri , KaniRs and Texas , which Is not so deeply Interested In that territory as the Plttsburg &JGulf , Is making n hard tight to retain Its traffic. The result Is that the northern connections of both roads nro suf fering , but are powerless In the matter. ItnlNc ( lie 'Union ' to SEATTLE , Wash. , Jan. 19.

Cao day n mother who had been to a countrj house near Marseilles was returning at twilight ) to the city with her son , a child of 8 jears , who bail been put In a peach basket borne by a donkcj- , and the mother , fearing the child might catch cold ( It was In November ) , had covered him with a thick brown ehawl. Tired with running around the country all day , cosoy and vviirm under the thick shawl , the child was soon asleep and hidden by the sides of the baelcet. There Is a local custom house at the gates of Marseilles , anJ when the Inspector sur mises tbit any package contains contraband articles he thrusts a sharp steel pick through It. He was preparing to do th'o ' with the basket when tbo mother , some distance be hind , eaw his intention and shrieked out that her son was 1m the basket. It was Adolp'ae Thiers. Alphonso Daudct used to tell this anecdote to Illustrate the Incivility ot eome English men : "I was ou rny wejdlng Journey , nnd an Englishman was with my wife and mjsclf In the compartment in the train. The air In the car VMS clcpe , cad I wanted the window lowered. But he Insisted it should be kept closed. I told him that I wanted some freah air , that my vvlfo needed It , but ho persisted In keeping the window shut. At hli3 Incivility I thrust my elbow through the pane , at the same tlmo etclalmlag 'Keep the air away from 110 now , If jou can , ' and the fellow glowered like .a bull. " Burns was standing ono day upon the quay at Grcenock , when a wealthy merchant belonging to the town had the misfortune to fall Into the harbor. He was no swimmer and his death would have been Inevitable had not a sailor , who happened to bo passing at the time , rescued him. The merchant , upon recovering a little from his fright , put his Jmnd Into his pocket and generously presented the sailor with n. shilling. The crowd which had collected loudly protested against the contemptible Insignificance of the sum ; but 'Burns , with a smile of ineffable scorn , entreated them to restrain their clamor , "for , " said lie "the gentleman Is of course the best Judge of the value of his own life. " Not long ago President Diaz of Mexico re ceived a letter from a llttlo girl of Pueblo , In which she said : "Mamma locked up my doll , nnd I wasn't naught- . Please make her let me have It again. " A day or two later the child got by post from the genial president a handsome doll , with a note stat ing bis belief , should she remain good , her mother would never have occasion to lock It away. By that tlmo the girl's parents had got wind of the message to Dla s , and they wrote to him , expressing regret that their wilful child had taken It Into her head to communicate with him. A note was received In reply from the president's secretary as suring the worthy people that his exalted superior had quite enjoyed the experience , and was pleased to ha\e the worry of holding otTIco relieved occasionally by such a quaint episode , / Tlio death of Mrs , Mary Blalno recalls the tragic yet heroic death of her hustand , Major M.

Jan. 19. B. P. Hlpley. presi dent of the Atchlson , TopcKa & Santa Ko Uallro.nl company , has written n letter to the Kansas Commoner , n populist paper , replying to a communication published In that paper o'tlng ' the number of people killed by the railroads of the United States as a reason why these railroads should bo put under gn\eminent control. -Mr. Ulplcy sas that the latest report of the Interstate Commerce commission , that of 1S90 , divides the persons Ulleil by rail- wajs Into thrco classes passengers , cm- plojos and other persons. Mr. Itlplcy deals with these seriatim. Ifo sajs the report shows that lu the year men tioned 1S1 passengers on all the railroads of the United States were killed , but ho adds that the fact should be taken 'Into considera tion thnt In the year 1SIM3 the rallwa.vs of the couutry carried nearly 512,000,000 pis- sengcta and that the number of passengers carried a distance of oue mile was over 1,300,000.000. Mr. Hlplcy points out that the railways carry the whole population ot the state of Kansas two and a half times over before 0110 passenger Is killed , lilo sa > s that taking Into consideration all the contingencies , such as land slides , washouts , Hoods and human weaknesses , hlch have to bo gunrJed against , It would hardly appear as It the rallwajs were negligent In the matter of caring for the bifety of their passengers. Mr. Hlpli'j then tajs that according ( u the icport of the Interstate Commercucommlsblon l.SGt cmplojcs were killed during 1SUO , or oiu > for everj 100 miles ot road opeiated. Ho osl.o the editor to suppose himself operating a road 100 miles leng , employing the average number ofICO men , and nslia him whether ho would feel sure that ho could operate the toad the entire scar , day and night , rain or shine , heat or cold , through thunder t > term and bllrzard and frost , without the loss ot the life of one omploc. VIOLATING THn LAW. Coming to the third division ot persons killed bj railroads. Mr. Ulplcj finds that they fall roughly Into four clasc-M : Ihoso killed at stations trjlng to boird or alight from moving trains , tramps stealing rides , those killed at highway crossings and pcnjons walking on the tracks. It Is shown that of the 1-IOti people ot tluvo cMsscs killed , 3,811 were trespasser ; that Is to say , out of every tvvcnltvvo persons killed , nineteen were killed because they were breaking the- law and were In places where the railway people Lad no lenyon to expect to find them. MiItlplev draws the conclusion that the plea of coveminent ; ownership , because < t the number of persona whom the railways kill , la entirely worthless. Coming down to the question of ownership , he says that to himself and other railway olllcers It is n ma"tor " of entire Indlftercncc. If the gov ernment owned the rallwajs It would need just cs many , and probably more , men to operate them , and ho expresses himself as entirely willing to take his chances on get ting equally as good a position as tint which ho now cnjojs. Coming to another feature of the question Mr. Hlpley sajs thcro ! s grave douU whether the government has the legal right to obtain ownership of the lines for the purpose of operating them , nnd there 13 etill the moro formidable quchtlon as to whether the government , after It had got possession of the lines , could operate them Insldo the limits of the several states with out radical changes In our constitution , and In the whole present fabric of the relations of state and national authority. Aside from that the only way fa which the government cou'd ' get possession of the rall- najs would bo by purchase at a reasonable price. That price has been variously esti mated to bo anjwhere from $6,000,000,000 to $15,000,000,000. Supposing it was the low cat figure , the amount would bo five tlmea the present national debt. The government las had some embarrassment In floating bonds for $100,000,000 or BO. The government could probably borrow $ G,000,000,000 , but It would bo unpleasant to have to do It. Interest on that amount at 3 per cent would be $150,000- 000 a jcar. EXPENSES WOULD INCREASE. It Is easy to talk , he says , of the gavern'- mcnt giving ibetter service , omploj Ing moro men , lowering rates and atlll making money. As a mailer of fact government management of an > thing never was , never can be , an economical as private management , and to earn the Interest on Ita Investment the gov ernment would have to Increase the rites for service , as has been done on the govern , mcnt-owned lines of Australia ; cheapen the service , employ fewer men anJ let things generally get Into disrepair , as done on the government-owned lines of Italy , or face on annual < deflclt and rely on taxation < to make up the deficit , as done on the government- owned lines In India. The mast serious considerations arc , however - over , Mr. lllploy sajs , poll leal onss. Thcro are 850,000 railway employes In the United States. Under government ownership each of these would bo a political appointee. Thin would not. only lower the character of the service , but would bo appalling In 4ho tre mendous polltieiil supremacy which these 850,000 emplojea would give to the pa y In now nr. Worse Btlll would be the political results of the contracts for the construction of new lines , etc. The scandals unl jobbciy of the river and harbor appropriations or of the tariff bill would bo nothing compared to the field which would bo open to the spoilsmen by the rallwa > a. The bulld'lng of now lines would depend entirely on political "pull. " DIotrlcts or statin ot a political complexion opposed to that of the party In itewcr would have lo wah till the crude of doom for any notv lines , anl In districts where the frlcmla of the administration came from there would bo lines < ui thick as stripes on a cat's tack.
