ReSolred That il is with the most profound
sorrow that we learn OF the untlnely oetn y,
bud by all powerful Omnipotence, plucked rom
earth and transplanted IN heaven, there 10
bloom on forever, but whose taxing rom US
and bis dear loved ones at home IN the very
bloom of his manhood leaves so much darkness,
and sorrow behind, and We search IN yam for
reasons why he should not be left with us and
his dear relatives yet a little while, until we
pause to remember that the inscrutabe ways
OF Providence are not our ways, but are con
trolled by divine wisdom, and that HE doeth
all things WELL
RSsoired, That in the death of our dear
brother we have lost one OF the brightest, one
one OF the most honorable and most honored
: members OF our profession one who was oil
our number but heeting hour, but whose loss
to us cannot be replaced; one especially en-
dowed with most loyable and manly char
acter an honored citizen and a beloved son,
and that it is with the deepest sorrow that we
see life so full OF brightest promise thus ended,
as il were in the beginning and we pause mere 10
commend. especially to the younger brothers
of our profession, the example OF our younger
brother.
Resolved, That we sorrow for his death not

and his country.
Resolved, That we tender to the bereaved par
ents OF our dear brother, our earnest ana SIN
cere sympathy in this their sad hour OF aihic-
ton, poor consolation at best, but the only
consolation which irail humanity can offer.

4 VICTORY FOR THE OMAHA.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday
handed down decision in the suit of
Stephen Lamm, respt.. vs.. The Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Rail-
way Co., applt Suits, it viii be remem-
bered, was brought couple of years
ago by number of property owners on
N. Fourth street, for damages incurred
by the occupation of the street by the
Omaha track. When the track was laid
the property on the side of the street
nearest the track was reimbursed. I'M
der recent decision OF the Supreme
Court, the owners of the property on
the other side Of the street thought that
they could also collect damages, and T.
A. Foster brought the suits. The case
of Stephen Lamm was used as test,
and he secured damages in the District
Court The Railway Co. asked for
new trial, claiming that the damages,
some $3.50, were excessive. Judge SsY-
GRANGE denied the motion, and the road
appealed to the Supreme Court, which
reverses the order Of Judge Severance.
The case will have new trial.
The following is the syllabus:
Where Judge has executed deed
as trustee under the town site act,
the presumption in favor of official acts
obtains that he performed his duty in
all respects. A stranger TO the title has
DO right to dispute the regularity of the
acts Of the judge In executing the deed.
Where single trespass is committed
on two contiguous lots of the plaintiff it
is proper 10 assess the damages to both
lots together, although they may not
have been so used by the owner IN con-
nection with each0other that they would
be considered one tract in cendemna-
ton proceedings by railway company
An act of the legislature or an ordinance
of a city authorizing railway company
to construct its road in public street
gives it the right TO do so only as against
the public, but not as against owners of
the abutting premises having private
property rights in that street. And
where member OF a city council votes
for such an ordinance his assent is re-
ferable only to the public easement and
not to his own private rights of proper
ty in the street. A conveyance of lots
TO a railway company 'f0r railway pur
poses" is not TO be construed as cogen-
anting that the street on which the lots
abut. to the center line thereof, may be
used for such purposes. while itremalns
a street, so as 10 interfere with any ease
ment constituting private right of pro-
perry which the grantor may Lave there
In appertenant TO other property abutt-
ing on the same street. Where raIway
company unlawfully constructs ltS road
in public street 80 al to interfere with
the private rights of abItters. it constl-
tutes a continuing trespass for which
successive suits for damages may be
brought so long rs the trespass is con-
tinued until the occupation ripens into
title by prescription. Where public
street is lawfully vacated the owner of
AUDITING property holds the fee of the
former street, presumably TO the CEN
ter line, discharged from all ease
ments in favor of either the
public or the owner of other
property abutting on the street Under
