Court of Common Pleas-CiviI Side
 Judge Studley.

In this court yesterday two decisions were filed. In the injunction suit of W. E. Johnson against Daniel Doody, brought to prevent the latter from recovering judgment from MT. Johnson for the payment for furniture amounting to $6O, the in junction was made perpetual, that is, MT. Doody cannot recover anything.
 This is the suit that Justice Niles defaulted to Mir. Doody, who was the plaintiff in the case, but Judge Studley's decision does not affect Justice Niles in any way, as the case was tried before Judge Studley on other issues.
 The suit of Wilfred Sweeney against Julia Welch of Huntington, for payment for building stone wal was decided in favor of the plaintiff for $1S7. .O9.

HOW STEVE CAME HOME.

HOW STEVE CAME HOME.
 One of the bravest men who went from | Milford in the revolutionary war was Cap tain Silas Dewitt. After serving tby7ough the entire eight years he essane back and and with his savipsss built small cottage rard by thze Stratford light. Shortly af- ter he had settled down he picked up a | homeless baby one night whose parents were both killed in stage accident near | Beaver pond. The captain set great store l by the waif and morning, noon and night he was plotting and contriving to please little Steve. People in the village all sym l pathized with him when the bank where the small savings were was swept away and he was left penniless. He had to live for the baby, however, and he braeed up and worked with will. Up and down | the streets the old man, bent with rheu- matlsm and toll, used to trudge crying cheerily, "Saws to file, saws to fle!" In a quaint little cart rode Steve, who was getting to be sturdy child of four or i've.
 As time passed on and Steve grew to be him. Neighbors began to say he was rough and often ugly to the patient old captain and others said he was dishonest. None, however, :ventured to speak ssof these things to Silas or if he did mild reproof was his reward. "Boys will be boys," the the poor old saying that has been quoted by so many foolish forgiving hearts, was Captain Sis favorite retort. ''We were all young once," he would say plaintively, turning away as if hurt. As the boy be- came man he grew more brutal, vicious and frequently drunk, he idled about the town at night. That he spent faster than his protector, now very infrm, could earn was evident. Finally when the war of I1s12 broke out, he ran away. It was said he robbed 8 place and took all Si had-his watch and few trinkets that the oh man had kept all these years. The man whose house had been broken into never spoke to Silas of it and the neighbors were all too good to harass the lonely and broken hearted man. Day after day he would wander down to the light and sit for a long time gazing out to sea. When the townspeople, pitying the loneliness of the watcher, would urge him to come into the village to dwell, his only reply was: ttThis is Steve's home Steve's and mine. He must not find it shut up and empty when Fl h oounaa homax1 At laatx he had fo zals

Fire Drill in the Schools.
 The children in Lowell school practiced the fire drill yesterday. The principal sounded gong in the lower hall and all the scholars dropped their books and formed a line The smaller ones on the first floor filed out first and had just got out when the second floor scholars came down. Then right on the heels of the second floor scholars came the third floor scholars The scholars started all at the same time and as the first floor was out when the second floor scholars reached the first floor, those of the third floor were equally accommodated and no time was lost. Although this was the first drill, the whole affair lasted less than three minutes.

The Great BenefactOr Passes
Away in Ohio.

Away in Ohio.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 29.-The great
public benefactOr known in history
as 'Land BilI'' Allen ended
his days in the Franklin county
in6rmary this morning at O'Clock,
after suffering one week from
paralysis. Mr.. Allen was born in Win
dom, Conn.,, May %, 1910. In early
years his father moved to Rhode Island,
and he was given an education. lie also
learned the tailor trade. Land Bill'
Allen also entered the journalistic arena,
running the Rhode Islander. He mar
red Zena Weaver, and sold his
paper and came to Columbus in 1929.
He edited the Ohio State journal and
the Cincinnati Gazette for years. Hav-
ing the homestead idea-that of giving
100 acres of Indian land TO every man
who would guarantee to settle on it in
his plans. In 1868 the great bill
was passed in congress, but Allen
never took any lands. He moved TO
Sharon township, this county. and
began farming. Shortly afterwards his
wife died. Sickness came on the old
benefactOr, and little by little his prop
erty passed out of his possession, being
sold for taxes, leaving him at least
penniless and helpless in his advanced
years. A few weeks ago he was
admitted to the Franklin county
infrmarywhere every attention hasbeen
given him and subscr iptions have been
raised all over the country to assist him.
Ere the assistance of his friends could
be appreciated, death relieved the old
man OF his troubles. His body is in
charge of the superintendent of the in
Urinary, who will hold it until WedneS-
day, giving the friends an opportunity
to bury him. A monument fund is in
prOgreSS.

RAN IN A CIRCLE.
Miraculous Escape of Four Men
on Burning Steamer.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-For over an hour
today, on wintry Lake Michigan. four
men stared full in the face what seemed
to be inevitable death. They were
aboard the tug John A. Miller, which,
wrapped III flames, was running wild at
sull speed in great circle. The men
had only deck buckets to delay the mo-
ment when apparently they would have
to decide whether to burn or drown.
The smoke and flame from the burning
craft were sighted by the tug Welcome,
but the waves were running so high
that the Welcome was long delayed.
At last, however. she succeeded in
steaming close to the fiery Miller, and,
by almost superhuman eXertiOns, taking
aboard the scOrched and exhausted sea-
men. The rescuers narrowly avoided
meeting the fate that had awaited the
rescued. The Welcome took fire, and
only prompt measures averted her de-
StructiOn. The four men who escaped
from the Miller were Capt. Peter Barry,
engineer: James Barry. fireman; Charles
Newman and deck hand. The We'll
come was under command of Capt.
Thomas Barry, a brother of the Mil
ler'S captain. The crew of the
Miller, though suffering intense pain,
enjoyed one satisfaction, that of seeing
the tug sink without them aboard. The
fire is supposed to have originated in
the explosion of lamp. 1t made too
rapid progress TO permit any investiga-
ton, and after driving the engineer and
wheelman from their post, disabled the
steerage apparatus, which had been set
by Capt. Barry to head straight for port
instead of making the huge circle that
so nearly proved the doom of himself
and his men.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. 29.-The
south-bOund passenger train, with 200
passengers aboard, was wrecked twenty
miles north Of this city at 10 o'clock last
night Oh the South Carolina rail-
way. One man, the fireman,
named Parks, was buried under
the tender and crushed to death.
Baggagemaster Anderson, Express
Messenger Pierscn and three passengers
were seriously injured. The train was
made up of four coaches. Pullman and
a baggage car. All were thrown down
a thirty-four-foOt embankment into a
swamp,and all except the Pullman were
badly wrecked. There were upwards
OF 200 passengers on the train, and
the light list of casualties is
regarded as miraculous. The wreck
was deliberately and skillfully planned.
One of the fishbars joining the rails
was lOOsened, the bolts having been
drawn, and the spikes that held the rail
were also drawn. The fish-bar and the
wrench used to remove the bolts were
found alongside the track. All evil
dence points to the fact that this was
the work of an experienced railroad
hand.

STRIKERS TAKE A NINE.
Affairs Becoming Serious Among
French Miners.

PARIS, Nov. 29.-The excitement
among the coal miners of the Pas-de-
Calais. in the extreme northwestern
part of France, is spreading. by
sympathy to the rich coal fields
of Loier, in the southeast.
The miners of st. Etienne and vicinity
have been greatly disturbed for several
days. Today 500 of them assembled in
the town of Rive de Gier, about twelve
miles from st. Etienne. Several of
their leaders made violent speeches
of an extremely sarcastic char
acter. The miners then formed
in parade and marched through
the streets of the town. singing the
MarseiIlaise, and swinging cap of lib
erty Oh the head of a pole. The popu-
lace acclaimed the procession and, FOL
lowed by numerous rabbte, the min
ers proceeded to the Agurau de
Mine, one of the important mines in
the vicinity. They took possession
of the mine, declaring that its
name thenceforth should be the Cesar
Bertholet. and they announced they
would resist to the death any attempt to
drive them away. The local authorities,
feeling unable to cope with the situa-
ton. have asked for directions from
Paris.

Commodore Melville Calls Atten-
ton to q Grave Danger.
WASHINGTON, Nov. %. -Commodore
Melville, chief of the bureau of steam
engineering, has submitted his annual
report to the secretary of the navy.
After detailing the work accom-
plished during the past fiscal
year, and the condition of the machinery
of the vessels of the navy, the report
touches upon the needs of the various
navy yards. By far the most important
feature OF the report is Commodore
Melville'S statement touching upon the
personnel of the engineer CORPS. He
says: cit is with regret that [ am
again compelled to report that the
number Of engineer officers is INSULT
cient for the proper performance of the
duties belonging to them, and to en-
phaSlZe the fact that unless measures
are at once taken TO remedy this con-
dltiOn and 10 stop the steady de-
crease i'll numbers, we shall before
long have painful awakening by
a serious breakdown or accident
on some of our vessels. There is a limit
to even naval engineers endurance,
and while the officers OF the engineers
corps will do their best to make all
needful repairs and keep in efficient
condition the magnificent machinery
of the new vessels, from which
the country justly expects so
much, and in winch it takes a
proper pride, they can go no further
than the limit of their physical strength;
when this has been reached the ma
chinery must take care of itself" Com
mOdore Melville says that the number
of engineer officers should be at least
500, and even this number will be in
adequate unless supplemented by a
sufficient number of intelligent and
skilled artificers and well-trained fire
men.
