CONTEMPT OF COURT.

In the suit Of A. II. Blackall vs.. r.
IL. Cosgrin an order was obtained for
the defendant to appear before T. E.
Bro wn. esq: to submit to an examina-
ton as to his property. Mr.. Cosgriff
failed to appear, aud Judge Perkins
granted an order for warrant of
arrest to issue against the defendant
for his appearance at WOrthingtOn on
the 9Th inst. to answer for contempt Of
court in not obeyino the order to ap-
pear before Mr.. Brown. The papers
wrfe served Wednesday morning by
the sheriff, and Mr.. Cosgriff gave bail
to appear at the time spccified.-Lu-
verne Herald.
The hearing came on before Judge
Perkins last Friday. Owing to the
nice questions Of law brought up, in
volving the authority of court CON-
missioner to issue the order above re-
ferred to, which question, il Is believed,
has never been passed upon by our
courts, the judge took tho case under
advisement. On Monday he gave his
decision that such an order by . court
commissioner had the same force and
effect as If made by a judge Of tho dis
trict court. It appearing that Mr..
Cosgriff had no intention of disobey.
ing the order, but failed to do so be-
cause his attorney told him that it
would not he necessary, the judge i'm
posed only the nominal fine of $40, and
costs amounting to $40 to reimburse the
plaintiff for his trouble and expense IN
the matter, which Mr.. Cosgriff paid.
The judge also made an order requiring
him to appear before the same referee
on the 2Oth inst. and make the disclos-
ures required by the original order,
and in the meantime to not dispose of
his property. This order Mr.. Cosgriff
promised to obey, saying it had already
cost him $50, which he laid to bad ad-
vice by his lawyer. The question com.
ing up as to the disposition of the $40
fine, it was ordered paid into the treas
ury of Mobiles county, as some sort of a
reimbursement for occupying the time
Of our court with the matter we sup
pose, and also that the papers and files
in the case should remain on file with
the clerk Of Mobiles county. 1t is pos.
sible that Rock county officials may
kick about this disposition of the fine
and files, as it is understood they lay
claim to them; but We shall see what
We shall see.

At q meeting Of the state board of
health recently that body refused to
approve the aprraisements made by
local boards for g|andered horses kill
ed, because horse infected with farcy
or glanders is Of no value whatever,
and is worse than valueless; is expen-
slve and dangerous. not only to other
animals but to man. Second, that by
section Is, as above, it appears that
1t was the intention of the legislature
that animals inflicted with farcy or
glanders should be killed without an
:sppraisement or other compensation
than for slaughter and burial.-Man-
katO Review.
Judge Perkins has decided in a re-
cent case from Rock county that this
feature of the law IS unconstitutional
IN that it takes private property for
public uses without compensating the
owner. What will the state board Of
health do about it?

Total,

Tuesday morning Miss Kate Oliver.
residing on Teath street, was severely
burned. It seems that she put q can
containing coffee on the stove. which
was so tightly closed that the steam
had insufficient vent, and the can ex-
ploded, some OF the liquid falling into
q kettle of lard that was on the stove,
and the lard spattered into her face,
burning it severely and binding her
for some time. Mrs. $. Mclean ran to
her assistance, and by an application
of appropriate remedies she was made
as comfortable as possible, and hopes
are entertained that she will entirely
recover in few days.

cant:
.Rehect for moment that your wife
