this arm was a matter Of grave discus
SIGN at all the clubs in England and on

round bullets to the pound. But in 1910
the elder Devisure, with his confrere,
Lepage, at Paris, and Manton and Egg

makers Of their respective countries,
fixed the actual length Of the dueling

OvERRULED DEMURRERS.

Gmpcrtant Decision Of New York Courts
Regarding the Great Western Road.
NEW YORK, July ia Judgment
has been granted in the supreme court
by Judge Patterson, overru ing the de-
murrers which are intsrposed to the
complaint in the action to have the
scheme for the reorganization of the
Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City
railroad declared void. French is the
owner of 100 first mortgage bonds of
the Chicago st. Paul and Kansas City,
and so first mortgage bonds of the Min
nesota and Northwestern. He brought
this action over a year ago to have the
plan for the reorganization of the Chi
cago, st. Paul and Kansas City, by the
lease to the Great Western and the sub
stitution Of the stock Of the Great
Western company for the securities Of
the st. Paul company, and of the
Northwest company adjudged illegal
and the lease declared void. Demurrers
were interposed to the complaint upon
the ground that the court
had no jurisdiction; that the

the trustees Of the mortgage, and that
the complaint did not state facts suffi-
cient to constitute a cause Of action.
Judge Patterson overruled these de-
murrers, holding that the complaint
does state facts sufficient to constitute
a aus of action, and that French is
entitled to a Judgment overruling tho
demurrers and giving leave to the de-
fendant companies to withdraw h de-
murrer and answer the complaint. If
this is not done, then IA Judgment may
be entered declaring the scheme of re-
organization illegal and void, and also
the lease which was executed ON June
30, 1892. between the Chicago. st. Paul
and Kansas City and the Chicago and

Broderip and Sir Richard Owen, says
the latter in his "Reminiscences"
walked together to Turner's residence,
which was slightly dingy in outward
appearance. When they arrived at the
door, they waited some time before their
ring at the bell was answered. At last
an elderly person opened the door a few
inches and asked them s~uspiciously what
they wanted. They replied that they
wished to see Mr.. Turner. The door
was Immediately shut in their faces,
but after a time the person came back
to say that they might enter. When
lhey got into the hall, she showed them
into a oom and forthwith shut the door
upon them. They then discovered, with
some dismay, that this apartment was
In total darknefs, with the blinds down
and the shutters up. After a prolonged
interval they were told they might go
up stairs. Upon arriving at the topmost
story they perceived Turner standing
before several easels@ and taking his
colors from q circular table which he
swung around to get at the paints he
required. He was painting several pic
lures at once, passing on from one to
the other and applying to each in its
turn the particular color he was using
till it was exhausted.
After showing them all that there wal

experienced upon entering the house.
He said that the bright light outside
would have spoiled their eyes for prop

to see them to advantage an interval Of
darkness was necessary. At this stage
Of the interview Broderip had to leave
for some engagement, and then an event
took place which Owen declares that
none Of his artist friends would ever be-
lieve. Turner offered him q glass of
wine. 1t was while they were coming
down stairs that he first discovered the
symptoms Of an inward struggle going
on in Turner's bosom. When they were
passing a little cupboard on the landing.
this struggle reached a climax. Finally
Turner said, "Will you-will you have
