Of «ER CASES IN THE COURT

Village pi Norwood Wins, Its Case—Inceit it Courted In Another Cue from .

Norwood—The C$nton Marble Quarry Cornea Up Again.-

Late Tuesday afternoon the ease of London Assurance Corporation v. Central Vermont B. B, Co. et a l , was moved. There are twelve of these eases upon the calendar, and it was agreed that four of those remain­ing should abide the event of this one. All these cases grow out of the destruction of the O. & L. C. eleva­tor at Ogdenshurg by fire on the 9th of September, 1890 The elevator was filled with grain, and the insur­ance companies that carried, policies upon it paid the lossgs, took assign­ments of any cause of action that the insured might have, and these actions are brought on the thenry that the defendants were negligent in haying an improper night watchman, in not having proper appliances'for oiling the machinery ofthe elevator, in al-lowing dust and waste to accumulate, etc. Tjbe wurf^oii&was about filled with^¥#ri£W8 3w6«eB, audwamass of tdpttttny iva©- tek^tghdwing the method Of the construction and operation of the'elevator. One whv ness said the watchman had'been drinking that night, a»d;wa« asked if he had sees drunken men and kneW the symptoms of jfche disease. The court looked grim, and said that he would, tak« * aucutptl notice that anybody that had Bved in Ogdens­burg a great while would be familiar with the symptoms of drunkenness. The defense put in the bigs of lading issued when the grain was .delivered for defendants, and moved' for a dis­missal of the complaint on the ground

.that by the terms of thes* bills of lading the defendants were released fromliabfltty. A similar ease grow­ing out of this same fire has been de­cided by ' the appellate Division, which held that the bills of lading were a complete defense. According­ly the court granted the motion, and allowed five per cent extra allowance to the defendant Most of the cases that did not abide the event of this one went over, but another was tried before the same jury, the issue being

.different in that no bills of lading appeared. More testimony was of

for a non-suit was granted, the court holding that no negligence was shown that could be said to nave caused the fire, the origin of which appeared to be a mystery. Another extra allow­ance of five per cent was granted Probably these cases will be appealed, as the case passed upon bv the appel­late Division is now in the Court of Appeals, where the attorney for the plaintiff hopes to reverse the judg­ment below. Lawrence Bussell rep-' resented plaintiff in all these cases, and Louis Hasbrook the defendants.

No. 81, Hannah Murphy v. Village of Norwood, was a negligence case which attracted considerable interest. The plaintiff brought an action to recover five thousand dollars dam­ages, claiming that on- the 30th day of June, 1895, she fell on a defective sidewalk on Railroad street in Nor­wood, and severely injured one knee, besides receiving other injuries of lesser degree. The fact that the wo­man fell and received some injury was net controverted, neither was the fact that there were loose planks i in the walk, but the defense claimed i that frequent inspection of the walk had been, made by the village author­ities, and no defects discovered. The jury was out quite a little while, but finally: rendered a verdict of no cause of action, somewhat of a surprise to those who had watched the case. Charles A Kellogg represented plain-gff, W. J. Fletcher and Theo. H. Swift the defendant.

About noon Thursday No 39, Nar than Burlingame v. "Wallace Ful-lington, was moved. The plaintiff lives in Norwood, the defendant in Madrid, and the action is brought to recover five thousand dollars damage for the alleged seduction by defend­ant of plaintiffs infant daughter, a rather interesting looking girl, now about nineteen years of age. She told her story, which was to the ef­fect that in the spring of 1896 she was a member of the same household as defendant, who lives with his par­ents on a farm. That undue famil­iarity existed between them,.and as the result of their intimacy a son was born to her in February of the present year. The defendant denied absolutely ever having had any such intimacy, and he brought some very sensational evidence, tending to show that the plaintiff himself was direct-, ly responsible for his daughter's shame. It was shown that the girl had told a schoolmate that she had been occupying the same bed with her fatherf audf was afraid she had done so too long, and the testimony of otnerivttnesses was offered which, showed" the father and daughter to] have been in rather compromising positions on several occasions There was also considerable evidence tend­ing to show that the character of the girl was bad, and that sl» was not worthy of belief. Totha surprise of the audience, the plaintiff, who sat by his attorney, did not .take the' stand to refute any of the statements made as to his unusual conduct for a father, and it told heavily against

Jum with the juiy.- The case got to the jury about five o'clock, and a, sealed verdict was .delivered to the foreman about seven. Friday mop­ing it was opened by the court, l a d there was no surprise when it proved to be in favor of the defendant The positiomof the plaintiff is hardly an enviable one. W. J. Fletcher and Hon. Theo,. BE. Swift for plaintiff, LedyardP. Hale for'defendant. *

No. 43, Huldah Stewart and anoth­er v. Martin Everetts, was the next case taken up. It was begun late

tursday afternoon,- and lasted un-aftemoon Friday. It is a little

ejectment case from .Stockholm, and involves the title to a piece of land worth probably less than the term fee. The ease1 ip chiefly notorious for the various amendments of the pleadings, 'which have been fixed up more times than almost any other case on record. The testimony was dry, and jury and audience yawned together. John A Smith was attor­ney and principal witness for the gaintifls, and N. M. Claflin, attorney

r defendant, also took the stand in the interests of his client. Then the two scored the evidence, each of the other, in their summing up. The jury was absent about five minutes and found for the plaintiff

By this time the calendar was get­ting rather thin, a good many cases having been settled or put over, and a call showed no more jury cases, and accordingly the trial jurors were excas d

No 8, Sherawn H. Nickerson and i another v. Canton Marble Company and others, was partially tried before the court. Mr. Nickerson and his wife brought this action to have cer­tain leases canceled, and a $35,000 mortgage discharged of record Mr. Nickerson has a quarry which he thinks is valuable, and along in 1892 James W. Carpenter, jr., James A. Phelps, and two or three other indi­viduals thought so too, with the re­sult that they leased the quarry, agreeing to pay a royalty of ten cents per ton for what stone they got out, and later on they made the price fifteen. Soon something, whether a partnership or a corporation is not quite cleaTj was organized under the laws of Michigan, and these leases transferred to it. It procured the contract to furnish stone for the con­struction of the St. Lawrence county court house, and placed a $3&,CUU mortgage on the property, the mort­gagee being the Continental Trust Company, of New York, and the mortgage being given to secure bonds which it was hoped to float. But the bonds floated not, the building com'

other parties, and Carpenter, Phelps. et al., departed to greener fields, leaving the leases, the mortgage, and $10 paid as royalty, with Mr, Nicker­son. Then he brought this action to clean up his title and get it into mar­ketable shape. The defendants claim that they have performed their part under the lease; that royalty was to be paid only on perfect stone, and that they got out none; that they let Nickerson into the quarry when they left under an agreement which made him their tenant, etc. At the close of plaintiff s case, the defend­ants announced that they desired time to get a copy of the testimony from the stenographer, and, that then they would argue the questions of law arising upon the evidence in Accordingly the case will be finisehd later. John C. Keeler for plaintiffs, Morse, Livermore and Griffin, with Judge Swift as counsel, for Canton Marble Company, Lawrence Bussell for defendant Alvin Wallace.

At about three o'clock Friday af­ternoon the court took a recess until Saturday morning, the civil business being over, and the grand jury not ready to report.

Saturday morning the court took the testimony in No. 67, William Dings as admr. v. James Campbell. Plaintiff is the administrator of Miss Agnes Hunter, of Lisbon, Who died in the year 1896. Defendant lives in Rochester, and at one time had in his possession moneys belonging to Miss Hunter. The plaintiff thinks that he still has .about $3,000, and asks him to account for bis transac­tions. The contention of the defend­ant is that he never had twelve hun­dred dollars in all, and that he paid Miss Hunter considerable in herlife-time, and invested the remainder in a house which he'is entirely willing to deed to the proper parties. The evidence was mostly in the shape of correspondence between defendant and Miss Hunter, and what purport­ed to be several statements rendered by defendant of the moneys in tiis hands; were placed in evidence. He wanted to explain these, but the court ruled explanations out. The court will hear argument later on, and ad just the equities between the par­ties.

At the close of this case there was nothing to do but wait for the grand jury, which finally appeared just be­fore noon and nanded up a large number of indictments. There was still a little unfinished business before it, and-it retired, while the district attorney made a large number of arraignments.

•Ed Fowera, of Gouverneup, charg­ed with assisting in the concealment of the birth of a child, was not in­dicted, and'was discharged. •

Chatancey Weston, of Canton, also drew a prisse. the grand jury throw­ing out the charge made against him of assault in the second degree, and Chauttcey was released to prey upon the community:

Omaha. Neb., Oct'C^^TB* 'iflttraoi*-dlnary business activity fn JtfftbmBka it indicated by the Cltsartng Rouse ~ -port' for September. The report shows Omaha figures: For September, 1895, HC.O0O.000; for September, 1896, $13,-000,000; for September, J807, $23,000,000. This shows an Increase for the month of $10,000,000. The local bankers at­tribute the great improvement to the great quantity ef money handled as a result of the movement of crops and the revival in stock trade and other commercial business. -

The payment of an enormous amount of mortgages was noticed during the month. A great deal of money was also loaned on real estate in the in­terior of the State, with which to open up new farms. This great Impetus given the money market is not confined to the local banks, the bankers of the city declare, but to the entire State, and to the States of Kansas, South Dakota and Iowa. It is the best show­ing ever made in the history of the local Clearing Rouse.

The bankers declare that even a more pronounced Improvement may be ex­pected next month. Much more money is being borrowed throughout the State than was the case three months ago. The complaint then was that the farmers had all the cash they wanted and the banks could not lend, their cap­ital. Now the farmers are beginning to invest heavily in additional lands and stocks. The money is being loaned 2 per cent, cheaper than ever in the State's history, and securities are not being examined as carefully as previ­ously.

Gen Miles Saw 3,000,000 Hen Under Arms in Europe.

London, Oct. 4.—Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., with Mrs. Miles and his Aide-de-Camp, Capt. Maus, sailed on Saturday for the United States on the American line steamer St. Louis.

The General had been in Europe since May on his tour of military observa­tion, and had inspected everything of military interest from the armies of the great powers in field action down to "balloons and bicycles," as he re­marked.

"I have seen all the great armies of Europe, except the Spanish army," said Gen, Miles, "and if Spain should declare war against the United States I may possibly have an opportunity of seeing that. Of something over 8,000,-000 men under arms, I have seen nearly 400,000 in barracks and garrison and in field manoeuvres, besides nearly 100,000 men engaged in the construction of war material.

"What I have seen does not Indicate that the miltenium is at hand, when swords will be beaten into plough­shares.

"There never was another time In the history of the world when so much energy, ingenuity and wealth were be­ing devoted to war purposes. The re­sources and industries of many peoples are largely devoted to V maintaining large standing armies and formidable navies.

"Fortunate are the people of the United States that they are walled in by two great oceans; yet this fact would not warrant them In any policy other than keeping a reasonable per­centage of the population fully equip­ped and instructed in modern appli­ances and methods of war."

POPE'S LIFE NEARING AN END.

The Pontius'* Condition Growing; Steadily Weaker.

Rome, Oct. 4,—The condition of th« Pope continues grave. He seems to be growing .rapidly weaker, and often sinks into fainting spells, from which It is difficult to arouse him. For the past two years the Pope's health has been far from good. At times he has shown signs of weakness, but he has rallied under the great efforts of the Vatican physicians. The doctors have insisted on the Pope, who is 8? years old, leaving the bulk of his work to be done by secretaries, but this advice he has disregarded, believing that hard work, a careful diet, and as much ex­ercise as he could stand were as Dene* flcial as rest.

The Pope's death In the near futura is now regarded as so near a probabil­ity that the Cardinals are already dis­cussing his successor. Cardinal Satolli, who was a former delegate from the Pope to the Catholic Church In the United States, is being named as his possible successor. *>
