Supreme court Decisions.

Jugde Mitchell for the supreme court yester-
day filed a number of decisions. The order of
the lower court was reversed in the matter of
the will of j. S. Brown and heirs VS.. Emma
Hall ct al, contestants and appellants. In the
case OF Mabel Martin against the district trus-
tees, in which al action was brought for the
payment of an order on the district treasurer
which was refused. 1t was held that an
action may be mentioned against the district
even though writ of mandamus might lie
against the treasurer, and the order of the
lower court on this point was reversed. The
order was reversed in the case of Egbert VS..
Peters Il Croonquist, it being the majority
opinion that the trial court should,
upon the evidence have sub
mitted the question of usury to the jury.
In the case of John Leppla, appellant, VS.. the
Minneapolis Tribune company, respondent, a
new trial was granted for error in admitting
irrelevant and incompetent evidence. This
was a libel suit in which verdict was rem
dered for the Tribune. The main point in
this decision is the holding that General
Statutes, capter 70, section 10, providing that
neither mother, husband or wife can, during
their marriage or afterward be examined as to
any communications maue by one to the other
during marriage, applies to all cpmmunica-
tons, whether confidential in their nature or
otherwise. Judgment was affirmed in the
case OF h. Henning,aS receiver of the Chicago
Stove company, respondent, VS.. Lyman Ray
mond. appellant. Held that a receiver of
partnership property appointed by the court,
with authority to collect debts due the firm,
may maintain such actions in his own name.
Order reversed in the case of Blaise, re-
spondent. VS.. Anderson s Larson, appellants.
New trial should have been granted because
OF error in excluding evidence, and because
the verdict was not justified by the evidence.
In the case of Swan E. Sauborn, appellant,
VS.. the City of Minneapolis, and Fred C.Smith,
it was held that public easement in a high
way street or alley cannot be affected by a
tax judgment against the land. The order
was affirmed

A remarkable custom exists among the

Mothers. aunts, grandmothers and female
friends contribute the dowry, which is con-
yeyed to the market in neatly made trunks
decorated with flowers and carried on the
family's best horse.
Cattle, bees and household requisites are
added. Each family occupies separate
tent, where the dowry is displayed and the
bride-viewers are received The bachelors
are also accompanied by their parents or
relatives III whose company they inspect
the eligible girl.
They bring the best they have and each
must have a gold OF silver girdle. After
the brides are chosen the public betrothal
takes place, conducted by hermit who
lives in this lonely spot The betrothal gift
is not ring, but a richly embroidered
handkerchief.
Betrothals are often arranged before
hand, but the ceremony must be gone
through with all the same. These naive
and straightforward children of nature
could give points to the sophisticated dwell
ers in civilized towns.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, June 25.-Miss Mary White.
the seventeen-year-old daughter of
Robert White, the wealthiest man in the
old town of Shrewsbury, Staten island, who
retired from business several years ago, is
reported to have fed with Charles Billings,
who lives at Eatontown, mile or so south
of Shrewsbury. Billings has no regular
business, but is occasionally employed as a
jockey at Monmouth park. He is not yet
out of his teens. Among his associates are
several of the young men who are supposed
to have known something about the killing
of Mingo Jack, the negro who was beate n
to death in the little brick jail at EatontOwn
in March last. He was one OF the youths
who fed from the state while the inquest
was being held on the negro by Coroner
Smith. He soon returned home. He has
been for some time an .admirer of Miss
White, and he met her frequently in spite
OF the strong opposition OF the parents.
Miss White is an only child, and is still in
short dresses. She has black hair and eyes
and good figure. AS she is an only child,
the heir to $500, 600, and of bright
and loving disposition she has been greatly
admired by the young men living near her
fathers handsome country seat. Her mother
comes from an old Quaker family, the
Pearces OF Manasquan, and Mary was a
great favorite with her grandfather, wealthy
old Capt Pearee,- who owns several large
tracts on Manasquan beach. From her
babyhood she was brought up in the most
strict manner. She was never allowed to
be away from home after dark, excepting to
make visits to some of her schoomates re-
siding in the neighborhood. 1t is said that
after Miss Whites parents had discovered
that young Billings was acting the part of a
devoted lover, and ordered her to discourage
his attentions, she met him away from the
house. She has been missing since yester-
day morning. LII her bedroom was found
note addressed to her mother. in which
she wrote that when the note was found she
would be at least 100 miles away. She took
with her a large quantity of handsome
clothing and her jewelry. Her parents are
nearly frantic with grief and Indignation
over her disappearance. There are no clews
to the present hiding place of the young
couple, but it is believed that they are mar
ried and awaiting the time when the storm
shall have blown over and they can return
to Mr. Whites house.

A WINK ED-UP CASE
Which the Courts Have Been Asked
to Straighten Out.

An interesting case was begun in the
district court yesterday, entitled, 1.-The Red
Wing Wagon Company VS.. Samuel D.
Peterson, G. II. Ross, Hans Mo. John A.
Johnson. w. A. Hubbard, John Larson,
W. F. Setter, K. H. Helling and the Brown
County Bank" The suit is brought to re-
cover the principal and interest of several
promissory notes, total Of ST, 81.
The complaint alleges that these notes were
given by S. d. Peterson, the principal de-
PENDANT, for wagons, machinery. &c., and
were payable at New Ulm; that Peterson
never intended to pay them, but intended
to cheat the plaintiff out of his goods; that
that after getting the goods at wholesale
prices he hurriedly sold them for what he
could get, being about 60 per cent of their
value, for the sake of disposng of the
goods before the notes became due; that
the proceeds were deposited in the Brown
County bank, which now holds and pre-
tends to own the same. but that the whole
really belongs to Peterson; that Peterson's
Indebtedness to plaintiffs was a part of
systematic plan to cheat and defraud Peter
sons creditors, he having bought goods
amounting to 500, 900 and sold them in the
manner mentioned and deposited the pro-
ceeds with the Brown County bank; that
defendants Ross and Mo of the bank con-
splred with Peterson to buy up this in
debtedness, and did buy $4S, 600 of it at 25
cents On the dollar, using Peterson's money
for that purpose; that Mo brought
suit on a portion of this Indebtedness, and
got Judgment for SO, 609. IS: that Mo is still
the agent of Peterson; that the suit was
brought with Peterson's money and was a
fraud and deceit; that defendant Ross is
cashier of the Brown county bank and w.
+. Setter is an empleye there; that Ross
and Peterson, in pursuance of their plan of
defrauding plaintiff, pretended, in April,
1886, to organize the IS. d. Peterson I'm
plement company, but that this corpora
ton was never duly organized but as a CO.
partnership; that defendant Hubbard is the
pretended secretary of the corporation, but
in reality bookkeeper for Peterson: that
defendant Larson is Peterson's employe:
that the bank holds large sums of negotia-
BILE paper, etc., belonging to Peterson and
refuses to divulge the same, and state that
he is insolvent. which they know is false:
that Peterson owns certain real estate; that
on account of the said judgment, on which
an execution has been issued. Judgment
against Peterson will do plaintiff no good
and Peterson no harm, and various other
allegations. The suit is brought to recover
the 81, 95S.57, that receiver be appointed
for the implement company and that it be
declared co-partnership and Peterson's
share sold, that judgment in this case be
given precedence over said judgment of Mo.

MRS. Charles B. Douglass Has Evil
dence i'm Her Own Behalf

On the night of April 8 last Charles B.
Douglass was arrested in St. Paul on COM
plant of his wife, Hollie Douglass, who
said he had made an attempt to shoot her.
When arrested Douglass had written let
ters which it was thought at the time indi-
Gated that he was about to take his own
life. In one of these, written to his wife
he used these words: "And, Hollie, You
must know we killed my wife as surely as
if we had run knife through her heart
To GLOBE reporter, vino saw him at the
time, Douglass said that the woman was
not his wife. This in connection with the
letters was published in the GLOBE at the
time, when the affair attracted more or
less attention. Mrs. Douglass, who keeps
a millinery store on West Third street
just above Bridge square, saws that
these statements have done her an inins-
tice, and she has procured documentary
evidence to vindicate herself The charge
made by Douglass, that the two had been
responsible for his first wife's death, Mrs
Douglass refutes by producing the written
statements of DIR. S. G. Johnson, that the
