A Syracuse genius hasdiScovercd
a method by which water wheel

elevator propelled by the wheel, 70

the wheel is desired. The boys

The United States Supreme
Court has rendered a unanimous
decision in the Mormon case Of Clin-
ton vs.. Engelbrecht, reversing the
judgment Of tile Supreme Court Of
Utah on the ground that the jury
which tried the case was not select
ed in conformity with law, and that
the summons were invalid, and it
follows that idictments against Nor
mons for lewd and lascivious CO.
habitation are illegal and all pro-
ceedings against them must fall on
that ground. The decision sus.
tains the position taken by District

Appeal from 18th Judicial District
Parish of Bossier.
By JUDGE TALIAFERRo.

The plaintiff sues to recover
S2,253 10 with interest there
on, being the aggregate sum
of eighteen warrants or obliga-
tions, issued by the Police Ju-
ry of the parish through the
President of the body, and
made payable to the petition
er or bearer. The answer is a
general denial of liability of
the parish on the instruments
sued on, and a special aver
ment is made that the parish
Of Bossier is without power or
authority to issue and put
into circulation the inst1'u-
ments upon which the action
is founded, and thereby bind
the parish for their payment.
The defense further is, that if
the parish of Bossier were ever
legally obligated to pay the
warrants held by the plaintiff,
it would now, since the forma-
ton of the parish of Webster,
be bound only for one-half the
amount sued for. The defen-
dant pleads the prescription OF
five years In bar of the action
There was Judgment against
the parish for s2,2O5 35 with
interest, and a decree for the
assessment and collection Of a
parish tax sufficient in amount
to pay and discharge the debt
and all costs.
The defendant has appealed
1t is not shown that the Police
Jury of Bossier parish, by any
special act Of the Legislature
was empowered to issue tn,
negotiable instruments; nor i,
it shown that the Police jury
by ordinance passed at tn,
time it authorized the issuin,
of them, provided for thei
payment. These pretendet
obligations are therefore vol,
; and without effect. No recov
: cry can therefore be had 0.
