A Graft Is Happy.

The only Sumner county case de-
cided by the supreme court last Sat-
urday was that Of A. Graf VS.. D. NJ.
Osborne & Co. In 1889, Mr.. Graf
bought $4,000 pounds Of binding twine
from this firm, by a sample exhibited
to him. The deal eliminated In a
written contract which was modified
subsequently, by letters. He received
the twine, but soon found that 1t
was not what it had been represented
to be or up to The grade Of the sample
shown him, He sold all Of it, some Of
IL two or three times; but none OF it
gave satisfaction and he had to take
back much Of it which he still has on
hand.
He paid the company for all he
could work off and refused to pay for
what had been thrown back on his
hands. They sued him for 1850 as a
balance due. Both sides subpoenaed
a large number Of witnesses, some
thing like two hundred all told. The
trial in district court was short.
Judge Ray held that Mr.. Graf was
precluded by his written contract
from proving that the twine furnish
ed was not as good as the sample. He
tried the ease on the theory that IL
the twine was worth anything what
ever, for any purpose, Graf must pay
the full contract price. A speedy
Judgment was rendered against Mr..
Graft for the full amount OF the claim
and the costs which amounted ISL
9l9.54,
Mr.. Graf Appealed from this judg-
ment and the supreme court holds
that he has the right under the cir
cumstances 10 show that the twine
furnished was not up to the sample
from which he bought. The proba-
bilities are that Mr.. Graf will have no
trouble In getting a judgment for
damages asaint the company on that
theory.

The Wellington Senate held a meet
ing Monday night. The attendance
was not large, perhaps on account OF
the show, but quorum was present.
Several bills were tabled and other
miscellaneous business attended to. A
bill providing for guarantee for de-
poSits in National banks was the
only new measure introduced. The
bill is quite lengthy and one which
will give subject matter for much
discussion. A bill regulating marriage
and divorce was discussed and tabled.
