Cottonwood packing house, accom-
panied by his son-in-law, Luther

Gated a pleasant trip for the fair travellers.
The excursion, which is the first the
members of the association have ever
given on water, was to Marshall Hall.
There the party sat down to a planked

BELLIGERENT LAWYERS.

Messrs. French and Albright Talk
of Thrashing and Shooting.
During the tIiai of Yorick W Smith,
colored, charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses frem John j schenck,
a shoemaker OF 709 street, the law
yers had a lively argument, aud talk of
thrashing and shooting was freely INDUCED
in. Mr. George K French represented the
defendant, and Mr. C. A. Albright, with
Assistant District Attorney Mullowney,
represented the prosecution.
In arguing the case Mr.. French stated that
an effort had been made by Mr.. Albright
to settle the matter out of court, and The
latter took exception to the statement.
He jumped TO his feet. and declared that he
would not allow such statements to be
made about bim, and that he would thrash
anyone making it outside of the courtroom.
You can't thrash one side of mel" de-
clared Mr.. French. Il could whip you
with one haud.''
Judge Miller and the balliffs finally
restored order, but the trouble was re-
newed in a few minutes when Mr. French
offered to go outside and whip Mr. Al
bright. Mr.. Albright said that if he did
be would shoot him.
Judge Miller put stop to the row by ad-
joUrning the court for recess. Smith was
beld III 500 bail for the grand jury, Mr..
French going his security.

as late as 1884, there was a well-defined

to eight feet deep, and he read testimony
to prove it.
The island was there in 1863, he said,
and the chief question was whether it was
such land as the government could grant
under the act OF 1899. 1t made no diff
ference, he coutended, what had been.
the original intention as to extending
the streets out upon the Kidwell flats; the
streets had never been SO extended.
AS to Irregularities i'll the issue of the
patent and the charges of fraud, he said,
the United States Supreme Court had held
that the decisions of the Land Office were
to be taken as conclusive evidence every
where, except when that office was re-
considering its own action.
The Officers of the Land Office were
sworn to perform their duties faithfully,
their actions were narrowly scrutiniZed,
and there was the highest presumption
in favor of their accuracy aud honesty.

Against Pennsylvania Road.

Decision of the Court of Appeals
Against Pennsylvania Road.
The Pennsylvania Company is required,
by decision of the District court of appeals
yesterday, TO pay $4,000 damages as a
result of using part of Maryland avenue
south west as a car yard.
The case is the appeal of the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad Company against
Mrs. Julia A. Webster Mrs. Webster
brought suit several years ago for the loss
OF foot by her son. Joseph ~ Webster,
on December II, 1894 When Tie lcci-
dent occurred the son was twelve years
old. he had been out assisting his father,
a lamp1ighter, and found il secessary 10
cross Maryland avenue from Eighth street
to Ninth.
He looked for the approach of trains and
saW smoke toward Long Bridge. This was
a freight train that was approaching He
watched this train and started across.
Cars were standing for a considerable dis
tance on the avenue, and he eolId not see
what was on track beyond them.
Just as he stepped out from behind these
standing cars, SO as to be out Of the way
OF the freight train, the passenger train
came upon him. He was scared and con-
fused. and could not tell which train ran
over his foot.
Upon this statement as made by young
Webster himself the defendants counsel,
at the trial last January, asked the judge
below to instruct for a verdict in its
favor. This was refused, and a verdict
for $4,000 was returned Upon the re-
fusal mainly the appeal was taken
The court Of appeals, Chief Justice
Alvey writing the opinion, holds that the
instructions given the jury were very
full and clear, ard that it was not a case
20 be taken from the jury. II such state
of facts had been made that no reason
able man could attach blame 10 the lailroad
company, instruction for verdict for the
load, OH the ground that the law required
1t, would have been proper. But il was
admitted by all that there might he a diff
ference of opinion as to the fault OF the
road.
One question was whether the cars were
standing unnecessarily and improperly on
the avenue between the streets. Another
point upon which the opinion of the jury
was needed was whether there had been
contnbutory negligence on the boys part.
In considering this the jury We're right in
holding that so great care must not be re-
quired of a boy as OF an older person.
The Judgment of the court below was
affirmed.

CALLS COUES A CHARLATAN
Caustic Criticism by President Coffin,
of the TheosOphicaI Society.
Declares the Doctor Always Dabbled
in OccultIsm and Knows Nothing
OftheSect'sEthica

Decidedly caustic criticism was applied
last night by President George NJ. Coffin,
of the Washington Theosophcal Society,
to Dr. Eliot Coues, who has practically
declared the theosophic idea to be a
fraud of a gigantic nature.
Dr.. Coues also alleged that the methods
of Mime. Bavatsky were fraudulent. and
that James NJ. Judge, the vice president,
is a knave
President Coffin when asked to explain
himself on the statements, said:
Yes, / have read Dr. Coues' attack and
1 regard il S wholly personal. He
has reiterated merely some stolen charges,
most OF which he exploited long ago in
some newspapers and especially the New
York sun, the latter Of which, / am in
formed, regretted the publication He, I
believe. bought stock in a certain paper
so as TO be able 10 secure publ ications
which verified the theosophists and mis-
represented its purposes
The truth is that DR.. Coues was ex-
PEELED from the Washington Society He
was ambitious TO be the. president OF the
American Societies and had been in cor
that purpose, but he failed.
he has grossly misrepresented the So
clety IN respect 10 numbers, placing the
membership at zC0 when, in fact, il is
nearly 1000 and the roll incTea sing
DR.. Coues after his experience in our So
ciety went 10 Chicago and with four or five
disciples formed some sort OF a psychic as
sociatiou. which has Lothing in common
with our society.
There is probably no one who knows
more about DR.. Coues in the matter, and
the causes which have instigated his
publications. If there was a fraud, or a
farce or a charlatan in the Washington
branch, il was DR.. Coues. Why. il was
through his instmmentality that / Joined
the Theosophie Society, and the very first
step he took in my introduction was a
fraud and a sham.
He took Mrs. Coffin and myself into
a room and Went through formula OF
nonsensicaI mummery and mysticism,
which naturally excited suspicion. He
was dressed in some queer regalia and
Wore a sword
The imitation ceremony was in truth
so faTcical that when we investigated it
We found that it was not part of theo-
sophie practice, and We afterward Joined
the society in proper manner.
1t was scarcely four months after DR..
Coues had us TO join when he began TO
attack the system, and, since his expul-
sion, he has been peTsistently seeking TO
misTepresent the Society of Theosophists.
"Dr- Coues never understood what the
osophy meant. He was dabbling always
in the occult" i'll dark circles" mes
merisms, etc, and knew nothing of the
grand ethical philosophy of our belief"

LAWYERS And LIBEL LAW
Interesting Maxims Laid Down by
the Court of Appeals.
Counsel Not Privileged to Introduce
Seandalous Matter In Decla-
rations.

The question of privilege of libelous mat
ter introduced by counsel is discussed at
considerable length in an opinion written
by Judge Morris of the Court of Appeals, and
handed down yesterday in the suit OF Sarah
A. Harlow against Elic Carroll and T.
NJ Fields.
1t is the second appearance of the case be-
fore the Court of appeals. The complain
ant had sued tosrecover certain property
which she had left with Carroll to secure
a loan. The answer signed by Carroll and
Fields made an infamous charge againsther,
which, upon application to the equity court,
was stricken outas irrelevant aud scandal
Gus.
Later she brought libel suit against
Carroll and Fields and was beaten in the
lower court, wherenpon she took an appeal.
This was decided against her last winter
because OF lack OF proof OF identity.
A rehearing was granted and the same de-
cision for the same reason was reudered
yesterday.
But the opinion says pointedly that such
Irrelevant, seandalous matter as appeared
in the legal paper which is made the
basis of the action is not privileged.
This license may be necessary IN England
to-day, as the quotation is from the latest
English decision, says the court of ap
peals III yesterdays opinion, but it was
not law in the time Of Coke and Blackstone,
and it is not American law now. AmeTi-
can Jurists refuse TO accept the doctrine
that all advocate may with impuuty vio-
late criminal law in court OF justice.
Freedom OF speech does not furnish de-
fense for RIGHTEOUSNESS in malicious at
tacks. For an officer of justice to be
guilty in this matter may be the worst
form of wrong. The qualification OF pri-
vate malice cannot be permitted
To the contention that the proper rem
edy in such a case is by contempt proceed
ings, it is answered that the punishment
by such means would be inadequate.

her to return, but she never again showed
the least affection for him.
She constantly ill-treated him and made
his life unhappy. She said she would not
live with him, and asked. him to let her
get a divorce. His life was endangered by

IMPORTANT TO LAWYERS.
Court of Appeals On Filing Bills of
EXCeDttOn


Judge Bradley was sustained yesterday
by the opinion of the court of appeals, writ
ten by Judge Morris, aud the application
for a mandamus directing him to sign a
bill of exceptions in the case of the Will of
Maria Cole, was dismissed.
The contest of the will by William E.
Brown, Involving an estate of 500, 900,
was decided last fall adversely to Brown.
A new trial was asked for, but was re-
fused. A bill of exceptions was offered
about April /, aud Judge Bradley refused
to sign it, holding that it should have been
offered i'll the October term, When the yer-
dict was rendered.
The opinion of yesterday says:
Counsel are greatly in error when they
assume that this court will review the
decision of the court below in overruling
a motion for a new trial. We have re-
peatedIy held that this we are not per-
mitted to do by the act of Congress cre-
ating this court"
The rule plainly requires, it is held in
conclusion, that the bill of exceptions
must be filed in the term in which verdict
is reached.
