LIABILITY OF CHARTERERS.
Decision by Judge TruaH That
VIII interest SINNERS.

Much interest will be taken in ship
ping circles in the decision rendered to-
day by Judge Truax. In the Supreme
Court, on the trial of the case of Brett
vs. the Harlan & HollinEsworth Com
pany. involving the question OF the
liability of charterers of vessels for
demurrage which the ship owner agrees
not only to carry to u certain port. but
also to deliver on n specified pier In
that port the cargo which was shipped
on the vessel.
In 1890 the defendants entered into IA
charter party with the plaintiffs,
from Wilmington Del, to Santos. Brazil,
"A cargo of railway car material and
there deliver II to the consignees on the
railroad pier. on arriving at Santos the
plaintiffs vessel was compelled to wait
her turn in getting to the pier Before
she could do so and was ready to dis
charge the cargo. yellow fever broke
out, and she was ordered from the pier,
and was thereafter detained In quaran-
tine.
After the return OF the vessel to this
country the plant planting, through their at

demurrage did not arrive until the
stipulated laydays specified in the char

YACHTS REPORTED ASHORE.
Highest Tide Mt Cnpc Mny known
in Eleven Years.

CAPE MAY, y. j.. April ia heavy
northeast gale Is raging. and there is
high sea running with a storm tide.
IL was feared that there would be
wrecks. but none has been reported
thus far: The llfe-saving men patrolled
the beach all last night.
They report one of the severest nights
In their experience. Considerable dam
age was done by the surf.
The storm damaged the trolley road to
the extent of $500 Seven hundred feet
of the Mount Vernon curbng was
washed away. But little damage was
done to the city front however. To-
days tide was the highest known In
eleven years. The waves swept into the
yards of the Columbia Avenue cottages.
Several yachts have been blown ashore
along the coast in this vicinity.

MARKETS ALMOST DESERTED.
Tho Storm Prevents Farmers from
Getting to the City.

On account Of the storm the various
markets were almost deserted this morn
ing. Only seven wagons arrived at the
Wallabout Market, whereas on fine days
there are seldom less than go.
The Gansevoort Market suffered ac-
cordingly. Very few wagons with Long
Island vegetables arrived there. The
marketmen will therefore suffer from
q scarcity of fresh vegetables wherewith
to serve their many customers and
hotels, which they are under contract
to supply daily
1t was said that Long Island has suf-
fered more than can be at the present
time realized.
Roads are either impossible or in such
q condition that 1t is almost impossible
for the farmers to reach the city.
Many farmers had narrowed their
grounds preparatory to seeding, and the
storm makes 1t necessary for them to do
their work all over again.

HIGH SEAS IN THE BAY.
Staten Island Fishermen Have 70
Stay Ashore.

People who live on Staten Island have
had a disasreeable time journeying be-
tween their homes and this city since
the storm began to rage. The seas in
the upper bay have been unusually high,
giving the Staten Island ferry boats con-
siderable trouble in entering their slips
at st. George. The storm caused con-
siderable damage to the shad nets Of
Robbins Reef belonging to Fisherman
wardell. of Gravesend Bay. The vessels
anchored Off Staten Island were CON-
PEELED to put out a second anchor to pre-
vent dragging ashore.
The seas ran too high this morning fol.
the drift meters to venture out for
shad. No serious damage of any kird
from the storm has been reported on
Staten Island.

There was water in the cellars of the

MANY YACHTS DAMAGED.
Pleasure Craft Driven Ashore in
Long Island Sound.

The storm kicked up high jinks on the
Sound. The warm spell of last month
caused many owners to put their yachts
In commission in the small harbors
along the Connecticut shore. Many OF
these yachts have been driven ashore
and badly damaged.
In New Rochelle and Larchmont Har-
Pors, where the yacht clubs have their
headquarters, nearly every yacht broke

FERRY TRAFFIC DELAYED.
High Tide Causes DiHcu1ty in En-
tering the Slips.

The ferry traffic on both North and
East Rivers was somewhat delayed on
account OF the storm. Difficulty In
making the slips was the chief cause Of
complaint, and this was due. for the
most part, to the high tide.
This was particularly true with respect
to the traffic on the East River. The
stiff northeasterly wind which swept
down from the Sound aggravated what
ever trouble there was.
While the wind caused this unpleasant
ness on the one hand, 1t was beneficial
on the other. BY 1t all Sound steamers
bound this way were enabled to make a
landing IL anything ahead of schedule
time.
