James H. Stephens, Plaintiff in Error. vs.
Thomas P. Bradley, Defendant in Error
Taylor county.
MAXWELL, c. j.:
1. If after special appearance to set aside SER
vice of summons, the court refusing to set 1t
aside, the defendant appears TO defend the ac-
ton, he will be considered to have waived the
defect of service. (MAxwELL, G. J)
2. Where the record does not disclose the
grounds Of a notice TO set aside the service of a
writ, the order of the Circuit Judge denying the
motion must be presumed 10 be correct and will
be affirmed.
8. The statute saving right to have the merits
of demurrer considered on appeal, notwith-
standng pleas in defence Afterwards, has no ap-
plication 10 a motion to set aside service of pro-
cess.
L. Change of venue belongs to the discretion
of the court, and its ruling will not be disturbed
here, unless it clearly appears there was an abuse
Of that discretion.
8. A declaration in trespass to the person
which alleges facts clearly showing violence and
forcible abuse, is sufficiently specific, though it
may Contain matters not necessary to be alleged :;
and such declaration need not contain pariicu-
lars of demand, nor. il the facts were connected
with election from lands. need there be particu-
lar description OF such lands.
6. Causes of demurl er should be indicated in
its margin, and when not 80 indicated, the prac
tice OF presenting them in argument should be
discouraged.

The State of Arkansas is spending near $16,-
900 per annum on its geological survey, and
through the fundamentally OF this survey, about
as much more is being spent by the United States
Government in cooperation. And if the last
Legislature had not killed the bill for the Florida
Geological Survey the United States would now
have been cooperating at an expense equaling
that which it provided. The prefer to do SO
came from the T. S. Geological Survey while the
bill was pending in the Legislature.

resulted In majority Of Nichols delegates being
sent to the State Nominating Convention, which
met in Baton Rouge on Tuesday. and adjourned

Nichols men concede that he cannot be nomina-

Our Indian Hostility Claims In Con.

SoDs
We are glad to note that Senator Pasco has
introduced the bill for settlement of our Indian
hostility claims.
This bill, which passed the House OF Repre-
sentatives at the last session through the persist
ent and well-drected efforts of Mr. Douxherty,
aided heartily by Mr.. Davidson. provides for a
just and fair settlement of the claims of the State
of Florida to be reimbursed for the money ex.
pended by her in the suppression of an Indian
outbreak which occurred in South Florida In
1887 The Government not being prepared 10
meet the emergency, authorized the employ
ment of State troops, who were regularly mus
tered in and suppressed the outbreak. As no Gov
ernment funds could be bad to pay of the troops,
the Governor of Florida effected q loan for the
purpose, and State bonds, TO the amount Of
about $4,000, were purchased by the Indian
trust fund.- The money was used in the payment
OF these military expenses. Although it 10 now
thirty years, no portion Of the money has been
refunded TO the State, and, on the other hand,
nothing has been paid by the State to the United
States Indian trust fund. The bill introduced
by Mr.. Pssco, being the House bill of last ses
sion, proposes to authorize a settlement of the
claim and counter claim.
Unfortunately Mr.. Call placed himself in an
Indifferent, if not unfriendy attitude to this bill
in previous sessions The main labor of i,s sue
cessful prosecution will have to depend upon
Mr. Pasco. We have every confidence in his
ability, energy and skill to so advocate and pre-
sent the matter as to ensure success.
1t will be very credtable beginning OF his
senatorial career if he is enabled to secure to the
State thistus and long withheld claim. Mr.
Call WILL Of course, sustainIhis colleague, as the
Legislature, at its last session. strongly endorsed
this particular bill, and instructed its Senators to
