LIKE A KNIFE
THE NEW CRUISER DETROIT SHOT
2HRO UGH THE WlTERs.
A Speed of Almost Nineteen Knots At
tained and She Was Not Put to the
Top Notch-Trial Satisfactory.

NEWPORT, r. l.. April 1.-The new
cruiser Detroit began her speed trials
yesterday, and the weather was perfect.
She moved out slowly to tie lower end
Of the course, occasionally stopping to
allow the builders on board to row abou {
the craft and examine her water line.
1t was nearly l2 o'clock when she fin
ally Strengthened out upon the Il rst trip
over the course. There was no appear
ance OF exertion, for the first run was
only at seven-knot gait. The change
TO Ten knots was hardly perceptible TO
those on board, and even when she sailed
over the course at a Twelve knot rate she
w going easily.
For the twelvc-knot speed, as In the
succeeding ones. four runs over the
course were required. After completing
the twelve-knot speed runs the ship lay
TO in the cnannei at the entrance OF the
bay, awaiting the change in tide and for
the board TO take lunch.
IL was nearly $3.50 when she went upon
the course again, as, when the board was
through luncheon, IL WAS found that
steam was down. When she did finally
start on the course she went at it like "A
race horse. One trip up at speed assured
her passengers tn all was well, and
tLen her time was taken and she
p gged away four trips over the course
at sixteen k ots, the four at what was
called maximum sp. ed, though at no
time was her Jhrott,e vide open.
On her maximum run the Detroit
made her nrst mile at the rate OF about
10 knots, while the mean speed of this
trial was Is G5-lO0 kuoIs. The last two
trials were maue under forced draught.
The steam held up 10 the demand. aud

SUPREME COURT.
SEVERAL HEARINGS ON PETITIONS
ron NEW TRIALS.
Rescript I'm the Case of Catherine McDon-
ough VS.. Patrick Hunt-Case Against
the N. ", +. and B. X. X.

A hearing OF the case OF Joseph Davig-
non VS.. The New York, Providence and
Boston Railroad company was held in
the supreme court today. Davignon
was formerly an employe in the
yards of the Rhode Island HORSE
Shce company. 1t is the custom of
this company to allow freight cars
containing freight for their shops 60 be
switched upoh its ground aud TO allow
them TO remain there until convenient
to unload. Davlgnou and several
fellow employees were assisting n swift CHI
ing three cars in these yards when "a box
car was kicked from the engine and ran
violently against the three cars be-
side which the yard men were
standing. No warning was given
the employees OF the mill by the train
crew. The force of the concussion
threw the mill hands violently against a
pile OF scrap iron, and Davignon was
seriously injured.
A rescripI was handed down from the
supreme court today in the case of Cath
erine Med nough of Newport VS.. Patrick
Hunt Hunt is charged with having
broken into and entered the house
of the plaintiff on three occasions,
October, 1891, May, 1892. aud June,
1872, aud with naliciously de-
facing aud destroying valuable property
In the house aad about the yard. Hunt
was convicted in the lower court and pc
titioned Tor new trial on the ground
that the verd G was not In accordance
with the law. The supreme courts de-
cision is that a new trial is denied and
that the case is dismissed g ith costs.
The motion for a new tri II in tie case
Of Maria Grimes against Rose Grimes
was heard In the supreme court today
The case is rather peculiar. Maria
Grimes is the daughter OF Rose Grimes
Thirteen years ago she began
work as a weaver, and in accord
ance with the prevailing custom
desired 10 pay her mother weekly sum
for board. The mother refus, ,d. but told
he girl that she might deposit all her
money with her aud Mt the expiration
OF stated time tie mother
would pay back che amount, less
50 a week Tor board during the entire
ume. The daughter consented, and for
many years continued to turn over all
her wages TO her mother, believing that
IL would be eventua!l, returned TO her
as agreed. AT ths end of the time
The mother refused to fulfi her part of
the obligation, asserting that the surplus
over board money had bee "a speat on the
girl for clothes. The daughter brought
suit To recover the amount.
