of poetic effusions that have appeared upon
the subject of shells being found at the top
of the highest mountains on the west coast -
said Nicholson Carr EVERY few weeks
will run across some paragraph in a news
paper stating how some western herder or
pleasure seeker found a conchshell at the
top OF some high peak, with q dissertation
on how it came there. OF course a conch-
shell or any other kind of shell found be-
meath the snow on the top of Pixies peak,
Mount Davis or in the John Day range nat
urally gives rise TO much poetic reflection.
1t suggests that the ocean once rolled its
awful depths about the great height. These
poetic minds conceive again all that vast
deep, which could then truly have been
called fathomless, stretching out over sp
parently limitless space, a world Of water
inhabited only by the prehistoric monsters
of the deep.
''That of course will be the poetic thought
Of one who should come across the she'll al

required payments being kept up for
about three months. After that time
Elliott refused to pay up, and the

replevin from Magistrate McWhorter
and placed it In Ewing's hands.
The two drove to the house and af-
ter tying the horse, proceeded to en-
ter the house and recover the machine
AS they were carrying 1t out Elliott ap.

barreled shot gun. Raising the
weapon to his shoulder Elliott order

which they did.

St. Michaels Day Nursery at Fourth

appropriate services on Thursday next
by Right Rev. Bishop Coleman. The
nursery will be opened on that day
from $50 o'clock until q for visitors.
The nursery was established two
years ago and since that time SO much
interest has been taken that larger
quarters were needed.
The nursery was established as an
experiment in aid OF mothers whose
duties compelled them to leave their
children at home while they were en-.
ployed elsewhere. or to neglect them
while engaged in their home duties.
There are now nine children at the

The case OF Joseph w. Vandegrift,
vs.. the Mayor and Council OF Whining.
ton was before the Court OF Errors and
Appeals Yesterday, and decided in
favor of the city.
The facts OF the case are as follows:
In December, 1880, the plaintiff was
knocked down and seriously injured
by being struck with o slod on which
some boys were eoasting at seventh
and French streets. In May. 1891 he
entered suit against the city through
his counsel. ex-Attorney General John
BtEgs. claiming heavy dRmagea City
Solicitor Curtis filed demurrer and
argument was heard In June 1892 In
November 1899, the Court gave de-
oision everything the demurrer. and
ordering that Judgment DO entered In
favor OF the plautilf.
Upon this writ OF error was entered
by the city solicitor and the case taken
to the Court of Errors and Appeals.
Argument was heard in January. and
decision given yesterday, which was
concurred in by the entire Court. This
decision overrules and sets aside the
Judgment OF the Superior Court. and
gives judgment In favor of the city,
which, as this is the highest court In
the State, finally decides the case.
| Chancellor Wolcott read the decl-
sion. which briefly stated Is as follows:
| That coasting In the manner alleged
was nuisance under the laws OF the
state. that the persons coasting were
liable to prosecution and punishment
! In the Municipal Court, to which had
been conferred jurisdiction to try and
punish persons committing nuisances
at common law occurring within the
city; and that the failure OF the city to
pass an ordinance prohibiting coasting
did not give the plaintiff the right to
sue the city. Nor did the failure OF
the police officers OF the city to pre-.
vent cosstlng or arrest the offender
give him right to recover because. as
claimed by the solicitor in his brief,
these officers in the discharge of theil
duties with respect to enforcement OF
laws are the agents OF the State and
not more liable for their omission thar
the State would be.
