no pitch of tragedy that the properly

the laryny cannot be made to descend by
the application of the onion. The oil of
two common onions gargled ten hours

FINNlGAN VICTOR.
A Jury Decides in His
Favor.
His Contract With Haggin and Tevis
for the Purchase of a Racetrack
Is Declared Void.

long pending and important lawsuit
came TO an end yesterday afternoon, when
jury in Judge Sanderson's court Ien-
dered verdict for the defendant in the
case of j. b. Haggin and Lloyd Tevis
against p. A. Finnigan.
The suit was brought to recover $50. 600
for breach of contract and interest from
March. 1888. 1t appears that In March,
1887, FInnigan agreed with Haggin and
Tevis to purch ase sixty acres Of land in
the district known as the Oakland Trot-
ting Park for the formation of a race
course. AS the purchaser required piece
of land that would admit of the c0nstruc-
ton of a mile track he contracted for forty
six acres in Que lump, with fourteen acres
on the other side of the road, on which
were to be erected stands, sheds, etc. The
land was sold to Finnigan, but the latter
soon afterward threw the contract back on
the hands of the vendors, claiming that
the sixty acres in all stipulated for were
not there. The contract had been in dis
pute ever since. Haggin and Tevis finally
bringing suit to recover their money and
interest.
1t was claimed by Finnigan that in place
of forty-six acres. which were required
for the contemplated one-mile track, there
were only forty-One, and this amount OF
land was insufficient for the purpose. lie
claimed that he had been deceived by will
1ul misrepresentation on the part OIL nag
gin and Tevis, and that they had sought to
hold him to his part of the contract.
On the other hand Haggin and Tevis
claimed that FiDnigan had not acted
sQuarely by them. They said that Finni-
gan had contracted for the purchase of the
land in March, 1887, at a time when there
was a boom in outside lands, and that just
because the boom fell and so did the price
of land Finnigan wanted to get out of his
contract. Z. j. McCutcheon was engaged
t, represent the plaintiffs, while Finnigan
was defended by eX-Judge Edgar Il. Gar
Der and Colonel Thomas f. Barry.
The trial was heard last of all before
Judge Sanderson and jury, but after a
complete hearing the jury failed to agree,
| and were discharged. The second hearing
came up before Judge Sanderson and q
| jury on Monday last and was concluded at
| a late hour yesterday afternoon.
The evidence introduced at the second
| trial was precisely similar to that offered
at the first, anu Judge Sanderson briefly
charged the jury to the effect that if they
| found verdict for the plain tiffs at all it
| must be for the full amount claimed, S65.-
| 600, and interest. which would amount to
| nearly $500 He also charged that on
the defendant Finnigan lay the burden of
proving that he had been deceived by
| Haggin and Tevis, and that the land
| decided to him was not what he had con-
| tracted for.
| Another disagreement was expected. but
| after about three-quarterS of an hours de-
| liberation the jury returned a verdict in
| favor of the defendant Finuigan, there be-
ing TWO dissenting jurors. The plaintiffs
will probably appeal.

or course, / really could not tell her how
she would be received outside of the city.
She certainly has some talent and a mag
nificent stage presence.
"Oh, yes, we talked concerning the
makeup of the company. Mrs. Martin
was quite enthusiastic over the fact that
she had young lady friend in the East
who would make a splendid accession.
She was just the one. she said. to play the
part Of her dearest feminine enemy--the
one who contests her claims in the play

the Bush-street theater for her to witness a
rehearsal of Church and Stage on Friday
morning and have so informed her by
note. l suppose Mrs. Martin wishes to
get up on methods and 1 have not the
slightest doubt that she fully intends to
adopt the stage as her future field of ac-
tion."

her purpose. Nothing can deter her. With

From that day Mrs. Martin was held In
thrall by the onion habit. She dotted and
gloated on them. and has found by close
study its range and the method of con-
trolling it. That is the discovery.
Young Mr.. Theodore Kremer, the author
of Church and Stage" does not know
yet that Mrs. Martin is wavering in her
choice of a playwright between himself
and Mr.. Gunter. He admitted yesterday
that he had called Oh Mrs. John Martin
on Monday night, as detailed in yester-
days CALL. and also that she had made a
request of him that he write her a play.
Young Mr.. John Hover had accompanied
him at his request, he continued. as he
had been cautioned, that Mrs. Martin was
somewhat Of an excitable nature, and he
might need witness in case Mrs. Martin
should become nervous. He really could
not explain why young Mr.. Hover had
seen fit to carry a gun.

and Mrs. Martin told NE it was all the re-

famous tenor. had told her that it was due
to liberal use of onions that he was en-
abed to keep his vocal chords in such
good condition.
"Mrs. Martin asked my views as to the
probable drawing powers of strong play

it; lovers separated. Ships can be scut-
tied or exploded with it at the possessor's
sweet will; nails can be driven in the
collins of scheming enemies; space can

possibilities of the onioned voice are

One day last week, Mark Watson'i
team with which he was conveying
his sisters home from the east side
school, concluded they would take a
short cut, and after an exhibition oil
the wild west order, started for the
school house fence and went through
it in style that was demoralizing TO
the fence. At this point the ladies
concluded to become spectators rather
than performers and got out of the
rear of the conveyance safely, Mark
and the ponies continuing their wild
career, and it was not until the river
was reached that the team was sub
dued. It was an exciting time for a
while and it is very fortunate that no
one was hurt.
