DECREE FOR $4,000.
The LOOney-0'C Conner Suit Decided
in Favor of the Former.
Points of the Case, rs Told by
Both Sides.
American, Is.

Chancellor Merritt yesterday morn
ing rendered his decision in the case
of K f. Looney VS. Thomas 0'Conner,
which occupied several Gays in It's
trial in the Chancery Court two weeks
ago.
Looney filed his bill in June. 1882.
alleging that he was jointly interested
With O'Conner aud others in an Cd.
ton, obtained and held by A. S. Col
var, upon the stock Of W. n. Cherry.
VIM. Morrow, A. NJ. Shook and
Thomas O'Conner in the Tennessee
Coal, Iron & Railroad Company and
the Cowan Furnace property. He
further alleged that, upon the eve of
closing out said option to some New
York capitalists, at a large profit to
the holders OF the option, O'Conner
came to him, and Represented
that John H. Inman, who
was the leading capitalist
negotiating for the purpose, would not
make the same, unless he (Looney)
would sell out his interest in the Oh,
ton; and, relying upon these repre-
sensations aud others made at the
same time of like purport, be agreed
and did sell his interest to 0 Conner
at the price of $4,000 in cash, and
the surrender to him of his own notes
Of $50 600 held by Mr.. Colyar.
OConner answered, denying the
material allegations Of the bill.
The Court, in substance, held that
being equally interested in the option
as partners, it constituted a fiduciary
relation between the parties, and that
OConner, before no could trade with
Looney, must inform him of all facts
within his knowledge bearing upon
the pending negotiations, that Looney
might know and form correct opin.
ion of his rights and their value; and
his failure to do so would render
.O'Conner liable for any loss by reason
Of such failure.
The court was of the opinion that
the facts sustained the allegation of
the bill, and that 0'Conner knew that
Imam intended aud had determined
to close the trade for the option be-
fore he traded with Looney, and that
Inman had not demanded that Looney
should first sell out his interest before
he would close the trade, and that.
therefore, LOoney was entitled to have
the trade recinded.
The decree, while not yet entered.
will be for about $4,000 the balance
which would have been due Looney,
had he not made the sale to 0'Conl
ner.
The defense insisted that the proof
did not sustain the allegations Of the
bill, but that Looney traded his in.
terest knowing full we'll all his rights
in the premises, and that he did not
rely upon any representations made
him by Conner, with whom he dealt
at arms lengthy but upon his desire
to realize as early as possible upon all
uncertain transactions.
The case will be appealed by the
defendant to the Supreme Court.
Messrs. CAN'T Il Patterson, of Mem.
phis, and John j .Vertroes represented
Mr.. Looneyi Messrs. +. h. Williams
and John W. Childress represented
Mr.. O'Conner's estate.

Temperance in England.
New York Tribune.


The temperance movement is max.
ing remarkable progress in England.
The revenue returns afford unansye-.
able proof Of the decreased eonsump.
ton Of alcoholic liquors. Mr.Childers
showed in the course of his rccpt ,
budget speeches that the revenue irOln
excise duties is now s25,QQ0 lesS than
It was seven years ago. This indicates
an enormous diminution in the con.
sumption Of beer and spirits through.
out the united kingdom. That this
decrease is not due to hard times or
commercial depression is proved BIZ
the steady increase in the consumption
OF tea daring the sane period. "1 90
4ihe English people are becoming
more temperate. Drunkenness is not
so fruitful a source of misSry and
crime as il bss been. Education d
eAabli9s the working classes to over.

"I,t TITS Neglected. Spot. 1T is re-
ported Of Frostburg councilman who
had occasion to visit the vicinity Of Hill
street one day this week that, seeing
the condition of that thoroughfare,
he exclaimed:
"ls this ia the corporate limits ~
Upon being informed that the local
ity was so esconced, he exclaimed ~
"Well, I'll be ~ but never mind.
he was so overcome with emotion that
like that like the Irishman, he was
not dead but spachless.
1t seems that the mud over there has
already grown foot deep this fall,
and although he knew it had been a
fair season, he was not prepared TO
have his boots yanked off by the pro-
fusion and rankness of the product of
corporate neglect in that quarter.
The incident was so opportune and
striking that the citizens are confident
ly looking forward to the next session
Of the Council for some decisive move
ment toward their relief, The need of
repairs in that quarter is emphasized
by the presence OF public schoolhouse
in an adjacent swamp, and the peo.
pic want the teachers to gel acquaint,
ed with their children without having
! to wade for an introduction.

One Thousand Acres of Land and
"Rinht Smart of Bears"

nN the deck of Il big Mississippi steamboat
~ stood an aged Southern planter lndica-
ting by q sweep pof his arm the waters the boat
was passing over, he said to passenger from
the North "Whcn was twelve years old |
kid my first bear on Il new plantation my
father was then cutting out of n forest that
grew directly over the waters, of this bend;
That was n mighty good plantation, and
there was right smart of bears there, too, But
that one thousand acres of land went into the
Mississippi years ago.
1t is putting no strain upon the iigura to say
that great forests Of youthful hope, womanly
beauty and manly Strelgth are swept in the
same way every year into Il great turbld
torrent of disease and death. Yet il should
not be So That it is so is Il disgrace as wellas
Il loss. People are largely too careless or too
stupid to defend their own intereStS--the most
precious of which is health. That gone, all is
gone. Disease is simple, but to reckleSsness
or ignorance the simplest thing might as well
be complex rs Il proposition in Comic Sections.
As the huge Western rivers, which so often
flood the cities along their shores, arise IN Il
few mountain springs, so all our ailments can
be traced to impure blood and small group
of disOrdercd organs.
Tie most effective and inclusive remedy for
disease is PARHER'S TONIC. 1t goes to
the sources of pain and weakness In response
to its action the liver kidneys, stomach and
heart begin their work atresh, and disease is
driven out. The Tonic is not, however an
intoxicant, but cures desire for strong drink.

an instructive and pleasing affair.
The mechanical arrangement was adj
mirably operated, while Mr.Caughy
fully sustained orally his well known
literary culture and ability. The
weird scenes taken from excavated
Pompeii, coupled with the fiery over
flow of Mt. Vesuvius, We're thrillingly
portrayed upon the large canvas, as
also q large number of other pre-
sentations of equal interest and beauty.
The large audience here was much
pleased with the evenings entertain
ment.
