Anderson4 Co. vs.. Allison Anderson & Co.


There is error in the Judgment by default rem
dered in this case. The plant rs declaration was
filed st the appearance term. 1t makes profert in
the usual form Of the notes saed on. But il seems
that, at the appearance Term, informal demurrer
was placed 10 the file Of papers, assigning
Of demurrer that the delen had craVed oyer Of
the notes declared on, and they had rot been pros
duced. At the following term Of the Court, the
plaintiff counsel moved The Court to order the de-
to be taken off the fle and to enter up judg
ment by default for want Of any defence to the &C
ton, and the motion was made absolute.
Ii is true that, by our law, the plaintiffs were
bound to make prOfert Of and to produced in Court,
the notes declared Oh, having them in possession,
but the omission 10 f.e the notes with the deelaTa
tion was not a matter that could be reached by de-
murrer, IrJfert being made in proper form.
If the plaintiffs failed 10 file the notes, the dsfsn
dants might have aEksd to have their demand Of
oyer entered which would have operated in the ma
lure of plea, and upon which the judgment Of the
Court might have been demsn4ed, whether or not
the defendants were bound TO answer without it.
The demurrer, for the cause stated, was an ABB
surd practice, ard it was properly taken from the
file.
The facts stated in the bill of exceptions, d. not
better the case fer the defendants. We see that the
notes though not filed wish the declaration, were,
in fact fled on q subsequent day OF the appearance
term and notice thereof given 10 defendants after
new. We also see from the till Of exceptions, that,
befre Indictment BY default was entered reasonable
lime was given the counsel CT defendants TO make
d.fepce And furthermore, it does not appear that
the defendants have any substantial defence to the
action.
JUDGMENT affirmed. MCKNzET.

STEAM FIRE EsatKEs The Memphis appeal is
urging the authorities of Memphis to substitute the
steam for the hand fire engine as, notwithstanding
The skillulness and zeal Of our PRESENT FIRE comps,
Mes they ind that no amount of energy or cunning
will supply the poEer possessed by that udomitsbe
fire annihilator TO perform The great work of subdu
ing conf sgra ion, and most, if not all of the com.
pa5ies are DESTROYS that as coon as circumstances
viii permit, they may have the mighty power of
steam placed at their command The steam FIRE en-
CINE wes invented and FIRST introduced in the city of
Cincinnati, and there it's effects have been most sig
nal. We have iying before Us the annual report If
ting Chief of the Fire Department of that city says
the AgYsal made To the Ciiy-COuncn there last
week. This report states fac. that seems almost
incrsdtable, which is that during the last twelve
months, when the amount Of insurance is deducted
the whole loss by FIRE in the city of Cincinnati. con-
tanning nearly two hundred thousand inhabitants
,sas less than tco thousand dollars The total loss du
ring the whole year by fires was Sl2S, 099; the
amount of Insurance was $l22,l7l, leaving net
loss Of only 81. 92s fact like this speaks "trum
pet toBged" in favor of the steam FIRE engine.
Another fact is worth noticing as indicative Of the
precision With which the work Of the department is
doue--the number Of false alarms Throughout the
entire year pas only tro The actual number of fires
was eighty>four. The expenses of the department
for the year we're S88 GAG The chief states that
the service of three Of the hand engine companies
at present retained no longer necessary, and
commends that they be dispensed With when that ia
done the annual expenses will be materially decreas~
ed The department al present has eight steam en-
CINE companies and seven hand companies. E1pe-
rieuce demonstrates that the smaller sized steam
FIRE engines are more efficient and economical than
the larger ones.
In St Louis during the past year. the total expenses
of The Fire Department, which alsO uses steam FIRE
engines and is about half the size of that of Cinein
mali, was SIS us; dsdueiing % 697 for equipment,
the running expenses was $48 s1s. During the same
time the total loss By the fie was S21l, 623.
In Boston the expenses of the Fire Department
for the last year amounted to $780, 1922 the loss By
FIRE was $3.50 657, insurance S8l6.2 net lose,
S74,459
These facts and figures of considerable inter-
est and clearly indicate the course to be taken not
only in Memphis but in every other city. It is a
matter that should engage the earnest attention of
every city in the country.

TbcWheat and Fruit CroDs

The St. Louis Republican says that the American
Bottom presents a beautiful spectacle. The crops
never looked better between St. Louis and Alton
than now.

and Adams county, Illinois, reports that wheat in
the former county was nearly ell winter killed He
Gays moreover that the prospects fer spring barley
and oats are diseOuragiDg In Adams county, wheat
is better, but The cFep viii be short. The unusual
quantities of rain that have fallen this spring to-
gether with the extremes Of weather, have generally
proved unfsyorable to agriculture in that part Of
Illinois.
