THE VERDICT WAS WRONG
Damage Case in Which the Jury Had More
Evidence Than the Judge

Damage Case in Which the Jury had More
Evidence Than the Judge
The supreme court yesterday affirmed
the order granting new trial in the suit
of Alfred Mcqueen of San Francisco
against the Mechanics Institute, an
action for damages in which the jury in
the superior court OF San Francisco, CAV e
a verdict for plaintiff. The corporation
asked for new trial, which was granted,
and it was from this order that Mcqueen
took an appeal. While in the employ OF
the Mechanics institute storing boards in
the cellar of the pavilion, a pile of lum-
Der fell upon his foot and it was crushed.
Mcqueen contended that the accident was
due to the defendants neglect because
the workmen had not been informed that
there were cleats upon some of the boards,
which caused the pile to be unsteady and
liable to fall. Also because the cellar Was
not sufficiently lighted. The superior court
of San Francisco dur ng the trial held
that the cellar was amply lighted and that
the neg igence was entirely on the part
of Mcqueen. and the other workmen but
the jury was allowed TO visit the premises.
and it was contended by counsel that it
therefore had evidence which could not
be in the statement on motion for new
trial.
The supreme court holds that the fact
of the jury's visit cannot deprive the
superior court of its jurisdiction to grant
a new trial. which it was bound 10 grant
if convinced that the verdict was wrong.

When Mr.. Eakin was Republican cam
didate for city attorney two years ago,
c. ]. Curtis went out on the streets after
the nomination was made and declared
that he would beat the party nominee II
he had to work night and day to do 1t.
The Republicans Of Astoria remember it.
They never had better chance than now
to kill off this vile incubus that has been
hanging round the neck of the party for
years. If he be defeated in the present
campaign, and thrown down with his
shameful record on top Of him, one Of
the dirtiest figures In Astoria's political
history will vanish from the field forever.
Republicans, honest men Of all parties,
isn't it time that some kind Of manhood
asserted itself to deal this disgraced Office
seeker parting kick?
Mr.. George johnson has in his Office the
following sealed diploma from the judges
of the superior courts of the state of Vir-
ginia-a commonwealth which guards,
more zealously than perhaps any other
in the Union, its privileges of this char
acter:

him touching his capacity for practicing
law, find him duly qualified. These are
therefore to license the said George John

WORD is RECEIVED
Hammond is on the Way to
Astoria.
Probable Object of His Visit to Give
One More Opportunity on
Depot Question.

Hon. c. w. Fulton yesterday received a
telegram from Mr.. A. b. Hammond stat
ing that he would leave New York this
week for Astoria.
This win be good news to many who
are anxious to see Mr.. Hammond on bus
mess, but those interested in the rail-
road affairs say that his presence here Is
absolutely unnecessary, as everything is
being done to further its construction that
can be done. Competent and fully au-
thorized officials are in charge of the va
rious branches Of the work and Mr. Ham
mond himself can do nothing further in
construction matters. All of the men who
can be utilized, at present, are at work
In the various camps, and on the bridge.
The forces are being increased as fast
as the work demands, but until spring
opens not very much larger force can
be used. There is one thing, however,
that possibly Mr.. Hammond can assist
in," said a member of the committee,
"and that is the depot matter, but that
is an unknown question at the present,
and 1t would not surprise me In the least
If Mr.. Hammond had become tired of the
petty quibbling concerning 1t, and would
not further bother with It,"
Another member of the committee said
that he had heard several rumors to the
effect that Mr.. Hammond's present visit
to New York was for the purpose of rails
ing money for the construction of the
line This" he said II happen person
ally to be in position to refute. because
know that before Mr. Hammond entered
into the contract he had all the money,
nd more than he needed. He has any
quantity OF funds at his disposal, and
the account, as published exclusively In
the Sunday Astorian several weeks ago,
( his connection and supporters, was
bout right"
The contractors, Messrs Corey Broth
egs at Tongue Point, and Mr.. Jacobsen at
the Young's Bay bridge, report excellent
progress made yesterday and state that
every day it is possible the work will be
pushed forward.
The manner In which inquiries are being
received daily, from outsiders, concerning
property and investments, is conclusive
evidence that foreigners are alive TO the
situation and propose TO have hand in
events.

A BOMB Exploded
Barrett, Of Massachusetts,,
Creates a Sensation.
BAYARD TO BE lMPEAcHED
Based on His Speech Before the
Edinburgh, Scotland, PhilO-
sOphical Institute.
sAyARo TO BE lMPgAcHED

Washington. Dec. lO.-Representativ
Barrett, of Massachusetts. enjoys the dis
tinction of being the author of the most
thrilling incident of the present house.
He threw a bonb-shell into that body
today, soon after it convened, by Offering
a resolution impeaching Thomas f., Bay
ard, ex-secretary of state and now United
States ambassador to the Court of st.
James, for high crimes and misdemean-
ors. The grounds advanced were the ut
terances of Bayard, delivered before the
Edinburg, Scotland Philosophical Insti-
tute, November Z. In this speech Bay
ard spoke of protection" as a form OF
state socialism," and said 1t had done
more to foster class legislation" breed
inequality" corrupt public life" 'lower
the tone of national representation" and
divorce ethics from politics." than any
other single cause. Such reflections on
the government policy by United States
ambassador before a foreign audience
the resolution reiterated, were in serious
disregard Of his proprieties and obliga-
tions, and calculated to injure our ma
tional reputation. 1t concluded by in
structing the foreign affairs committee
which was empowered to send for per-
sons and papers, to investigate and re-
port, by impeachment or otherwise"
Barrett's resolution had been preceded
by one by Mccall, of Massachusetts, in a
milder tone. McCall's resolution went
down before an objection and 1t was then
that Barrett sprang his impeachment res
olution as one constituting a question OF
privilege. Crisp, the leader of the minor
ity, made an unavaillng attempt TO con-
test the privileged nature of the resolu-
tion. Speaker Reed overruled this point
of order and the resolution was thrown
into the arena of debate where 1t re-
manned three hours.
The Republicans took the position that
Bayards speech constituted an offense
against the country that called for a
stern rebuke, IL not a recall.
The Democrats took the position that
Bayards utterances did not by any
stretch of the imagination constitute
grounds for impeachment.
Hit, who had been chairman Of the
foreign affairs committee, advised Bar
rett to amend the resolution ST as tol
strike out the words instructing the COM
mittee to report "by impeachment or
otherwise" and this was finally DONE
Crisp moved to refer the resolution to
the judiciary committee, which was de-
feated by strict party vote-9O to 20i,
the Democrats contenting themselves
with simply voting viva voce against the
resolution, which was adopted without
dlvirion. The house adjourned until
Thursday.

progressive of all the cooperative Gamer
les, and great deal Of this success was
due to his care and foresight. His famil-

systematic and reduce to the simplest
form the clerical work and accounts OF
any employer that seeks his services. His
long residence in this city, his fidelity
to the highest interests Of the Republican
party. during all Of that lime, and his
present position as a candidate without
