personal averment orlpromise to repay is a
material circumstance in determining
whether mortgage or conditional sale is in
tended. but is not controlling on the question
In doubtful cases the transaction win or
dinarily be construed TO be n mortgage rather
than a conditional sale, to save forfeiture
A second or further conveyance, growing
out OF prior mortgage or taken in virtue of
that relation, cannot be set up to base a re-
dcmption. A mortzagee in this state whatever
the form Of the instrument creating the Sc
curitY, has before foreclosure lien only and
is not invested with the legal title, hence the
mortgagor's interest can only be Invested by
a release properly executed, unless the cir
cumstanceS are such as to constitute an
equitable bar or eStoppel and release or
settlement set up in bar of the mortgagee's
equity of redemption must be finally OBJ
tanned, and when the debtor is influenced by
the pressure of needy circumstances the con-
sideration allowed must appear 10 be just and
equitable. Any arrangement between the
parties under which the creditor secured the
property for himself at less than its value
through an advantage which his position as
mortgage enables him TO take of the neces-
sites of the mortgagor, is liable to be set
aside or adjudged void. Judgment reversed
and cause remanded, with directions to render
judgment for the plaintiff.

The movement to open the Metropolitan

White Bear and MinnetOnka. Home-bound
parties take dinner daily at the city hotels
and are then gone till another season brings
them to the Saratoga of the West. This

Where Did 1t Go ?-some tim

Where Did 1t Go ?-Some time
ago Mr.. Thos. w. Leggett built large
cistern on tic farm of Mr.. George Ham,
mond, deceased, near kearneysville,
and of course he made it in substantial
STYLE. One side of the cstern was solid
rock, and the other side and bottom
were made of brick, rs usual. The els
tern WAS about two-thirGs full Of water,
but when some one went to draw water
a few days ago there was none there.
An examination was made, and it was
found that there was no cistern there
either. The bottom had dropped out
and together with the brick wall had
totally disappeared, leaving ayawning
hole where it had been. No one can ac-
count for the occurrence, but it is
thought Chat under the cistern was a
cave or .ink-hole. Judge Rogers thinks
some one has stolen the cistern, but we
don't think so, for the thief would have
taken the hole too. We shall watch our
exchanges from China, and if they re-
port the discovery Of an American els
tern we will let our readers know of it.

This makes net reduction of three

rs cents for the round trip for horse
and wagon or buggy, 81 for two horses
and vehicle, $l.75 for six horses and

greet that the stockholders of this COM

The city council of Huntington, w.
Va, is considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of
boring for an artesian well. Starting
from a hill back OF the city, 200 feet
above the city level, they expect to reach
at the depth of GOO to 700 feet water that
will rise to the surface and furnish a
supply Of natural flow. If this expert
ment is successful suitable water-works
can be built at a cost of from $50, 900 to
$4,000. The experiment probably will
not cost over $4,000.
