NEWS OF THE COURTS.
A NOn-Suit Granted in the
Brennan Damage Case.
ONLY ONE OF THE HEIRS SUED.
Victory for Defendant in tho W1kes-
Davies School Land Case-New
suits-Blotter.

A decision in the case of Mary f. Bren.
nan against the Front Street Cable Rail-
way Company was rendered yesterday
morning by Judge Osborn in favor of the
defendant The suit was to recover SOS coo
damages for the death of the plaintiffs
husband. alleged to have been caused by
the negligence of one of the agents of the
company. and motion for a non-suit was
argued and submitted on Tuesday after
noon. This motion was decided yesterday
in favor OF the defendant and the plaintiffs
case was dismissed on the ground that the
plaintiff by her own testimony. showed
that she was not the sole heir of the de-
ceased.
In giving his decision Judge Osborn
treated the subject exhaustively, and
although it was an oral decision, succeeded
IN defining distinctly the provisions of
sections l3S and AS, of Hills code. The
eist of the matter appeared to be that re-
covery, in cases concerning personal injury
or death caused by the negligence of
another, may be had under the provisions
ofeither section 13S or of section las. of
Hills code, according to the circumstances
of the case.
In order TO recover, however, under
either of the above sections, the plaintiff
must prove that she is either the sole
heir or the personal representative of the
deceased, and this she has failed to do in
this case. In the course of the decision
Judge Osborn went at length into the
history Of actions by heirs or personal
representatives to obtain damages for the
death OF person, and traced the various
stages of the relaxation of the rigid CON-
mon law rule, which denied damages to
the heirs in cases in which death ensued,
down to the latest more liberal statutes

his wife to loan him $1,000 with which to

COMPROMISE ON SILVBR.
A Rumor That Cleveland Will
Consent to It.
BUT NOT AS A RIDER.
The Unconditional Repeal Bill Must
First Be Passed.
Under the Compromise Intimated, Silver
Would Be Coined Each Month Until
aSpecified Amount Was Reached
Some Contingencies.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-There is strong
talk Of a compromise on the silver ques-
ton in the Senate tonight, based on re-
ported intimations given by the president
that he is willing to accept a moderate
compromise in the nature of continued
coinage for specified time of so much
silver per month until specified amount
has been reached. The president, how
ever, is represented as unwilling that the
concession made to silver shall go on the
repeal bill as a rider, but it must be passed
subsequent to the passage of the uncon-
ditional repeal bill.
The assurance thai he would sign q
supplementary bill might satisfy some of
the compromise advocates, but the free
silver men, even though were they to &C
quiesce, would probably insist on the
compromise being Incorporated in the
original bill. They naturally want the
best terms they can make for silver and
the acceptance of a compromise with
them would be in the place of certain de-
feat. On the other hand, if the president
is correctly represented, it is possible he
might agree to coupling a compromise
with the repeal bill. There are, there
fore, many contingencies upon which an
arraD cement to let the matters go to a
vote would depend. The reported init
nations from the White House of will
ingness to accept anything at all short Of
absolute and unconditional repeal, has
revived the talk of an early settlement OF
the battle in the Senate whether it event.
yates in anything or not.

NO QUORUM YET.
The Democrats stin Lack Six Members to
Control the House.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1e.-The quorum
OF Democratic members upon which the
leaders of the House counted today failed
to put in an appearance, and for three
hours, by skillful maneuvering, the Re
publicans were able to deadlock the
House.
At the opening of the House session
this morning, Flynn, delegate from Okla
homa, created sensation by asking for
the immediate consideration of resolu-
ton bearing on the outrages said to have
been committed by the United States
troops at the opening of the Cherokee
strip last Saturday.
Colonel Oates, of Alabama, objected to
the present consideration of the resolu-
ton, and thereupon the struggle to pre-
sent the report on the Tucker bill, re-
pealing the federal election laws, was re-
sumed. For three hours the fillbuster-
ing, under the leadership of Burrows,
continued.
Roll call followed roll call, until it be-
came apparent that the Democrats could
not muster quorum of their own; they
were six short when they made the best
showing.
When the Democrats announced the
necessity of caucus to whip the recall
citrant members into line, the Repabll-
cans signalized the victory by cheering
wildly.
The House then adjourned and caucus
followed.
In caucus the general unanimity of
sentiment was for Immediate action, ex-
pressed in resolutions unanimously
adopted, declaring it the sense of the
caucus that it was the duty of the Demo-
cratic members of Congress to attend the
sessions and vote in order that public
business may be considered and disposed
of, and that when the House meets to-
morrow it viii remain in session contin-
uously until quorum is obtained. Fur
Their, the House should proceed at the
earliest practicable day to the considera-
ton of the bin or bills repeating the laws
authorizing deputy marshals and super
vlsors to act at the polls.
