Following DR.. Sigler, Mr.. Butler
called DR.. Glidden to the stand to
testify that the girl had been in
formed by him that she was about to
die the evening before her death.
Then the county attorney had
Lowe brought in from the county
Jail to testify as to her dying state
ment to him after DR.. Glidden had
left the same night. Lowe said she
told him she was dying from the
effects of an operation performed
by DR.. Johnson, but did not tell him
where he had performed it. Mr.. But
Ter attempted to go farther, but the
court sustained an objection, as the
previous statements were not dying
statements, and therefore were not
admissible. But Mr.. Thompson
made them admissible a few min
utes later by his cross-examination
of the witness, taking him back over
statements the girl had previously
made tending to exonerate Dr. John
son. This opened the way for the
prosecutor, and on his redirect ex-
animation he got in all that had pre-
viously been ruled out.
DR.. Mcnamara testified to the
condition of the dead girls body as
revealed by the autopsy. His testi-
mony was the same as that given at
the Lowe trial.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
On Account of Diphtheria in Sib-
ley School District.

On Account of Diphtheria in Sib-
ley School District.
The fact that a number of cases of
diphtheria have appeared in the fami-
lies of pupils attending the Sibley
school III the Second ward has given
rise to some alarm in that neighbor-
hood. Some of the parents of chill
dren attending this school have got the
impression that diphtheria has broken
out among the pupils. In consequence
of rumors of this character, the health
department has made an investigation,
and the result is contained in a report
submitted yesterday to Health Com
missioner Stone by Inspector Sinks,
who has charge of all contagious dis
eases.
Mr.. Sinks found only nine dwellings
in the Sibley school district which con-
tain cases of diphtheria, and all of the
patients are convalescing. Inspector
Sinks aGcertained that in every family
the disease first made it's appearance
in children under the school age Give
years., and who therefore did not at
tend the school. He also visited the
school and made a thorough inveSti-
cation, but found nothing to indicate
that any cases Of diphtheria had eX-
listed among the pupils. AS a result of
his Investigations, he advised DR..
Stone that there was no necessity of
closing the Sibley school.
But Inspector Sinks discovered two
practices that, in the interest of the
health Of the pupils, should be at once
discontinued. One is the custom of col
lecting the slate and lead pencils at
the close of each days exercises and
distributing them the next morning
miscellaneously to the pupils. The
same objection is also urged to the
practice of loaning to the children from
day to day old and soiled text books.
The matter of the pencils is considered
more serious, as the majority of them
are as often in the mouths of the chill
dren as in their hands.
Inspector Sinks also learned that in
case a pupil fails to attend school
some other child who happens to live
in the neighborhood Of the absent one
is deputied by the teacher to call at
inquire why s'Mary" or Johnnie" did
not "go to school" that day. Perhaps
Mary or Johnnie has diphtheria, or
some other contagious disease, at that
very. moment, and so the child calling
at the house is exposed to the disease
without anybody's knowing of it, for
the health department is powerless to
quarantine the house until some ply
sician notifies it that a case of diph
liberia exists there.
inspector Sinks says there is no cause
for alarm in the Sibley school dis
trict, nor indeed elsewhere in the city.
While there have been some fifty-three
cases of diphtheria reported during the
present month, the disease has not
been confined to any particular local
ity of the city. The number of cases
on Dayton's bluff is also decreasing.
A case of diphtheria was discovered
at the house of a milkman on Marga-
ret street. The milkman's wife is suf-
fering with the disease, and the hus-
band continued to peddle milk until
the .health department compelled him
to cease.

Compelled to Desert Him.

Gustava Carlson yesterday filed a
complaint in the district court in a suit
for divorce from her husband, August,
to whom she was married in Sweden in
1889. She alleges that shortly after
their marriage the defendant began to
ill-treat her, and during her illness
when their child was born he drove her
from the house by threatening to burn
the building. In 1891, she says, he
threatened to kill her, and the follow
ing year she fled to st. Paul, deserting
him. Plaintiff is % and defendant 81

tiff moved a building for the defendant
at his instance and request. The
answer denied the making of any such
contract, and alleged that the plain
tiff made'a contract with the defendant
and for the purchase of the building
and the land to which 1t was removed
and that he moved the building under
and in pursuance of such contract. 1t
appearing that the contract for the
sale and purchase of the building and
land was verbal, the court instructed
the jury that it was void, and directed
them to find verdict for the plaintiff.
Held, error, that even if the contract
was still within the statute OF frauds,
evidence of it's terms was material in
showing that the defendant never en-
ployed the plaintiff to move the build
ing.
Held also that if the complaint was
sufficient the evidence was insufficient
to entitle the plaintiff to recover what
he had expended upon the ground that
the defendant had repudiated the
verbal contract of sale or was unable
to perform.
Order reversed. Buck, ].

The words ION each side of such
roads, as used in General Statutes of
1878, chapter 81, section "a, relating to
fencing railroads, means the margin
or border of the entire grounds Or
right of way.
Where a railroad company has only
an easement in it's right of way eX-
tending through farm lands, and it re-
fuses or neglectS to build a fence on
the line of its right of way or inside
such line, the adjoining landowner may
maintain an action for damages sus-
tained thereby, and it is competent
for such landowner to show on the
trial Of such action as an element of
damages that he would have the legal
right to join his fences with the fence
of the railroad company built on or in
side of such line although it is the
primary duty of such railroad COM
pany to build its fence on the line, mar
gin or edge of its right of way
Evidence considered and held suf-
ficient to justify the verdict of the
jury. Order affirmed. Buck, ].
In this case the order denying the
motion for new trial is affirmed, Jus
tees Mitchell and Canty attaching a
concurrence to the opinion, in which
they say that, although they agree as
to the result, they do not wish to COM
nit themselves to the proposition that
under the statute a railroad company
is required to build fences on the line
of its right of way.

II. Bromley, respondent, VS. The City
of Saltwater, appellant.
Syllabus-The plaintiff owned several
lots fronting upon South Broadway
street, in the city of Saltwater, one of
said lots being her homestead. These
lots have a frontage of fifty feet each
yond them in each direction several
hundred feet, and connects with other
streets. The city council adopted a
plan for grading parts of these several
streets, which included that part of
South Broadway in front of plaintiffs
lots and extending beyond the same in
each direction. The assessment was
made by the city for such purpose and
included plaintiffs property and all
other property benefited by such grad
ing.
The provisions of the charter are
broad enough to authorize an assess
ment for benefits upon all of the prop
erty specially benefited, although not
abutting on the improvement.
The plaintiffs property was assessed
by the frontage method for benefits
$15961, which she paid to the city and
it has retained the same. In 1889 and
1890 part Of the contemplated grading
was done but none of it in front of
the plaintiffs property, South Broad
way, however, being graded from one
direction nearly up to the plaintiffs
property. The city abandoned making
any further Improvement and plaintiff
sued it for the sum so assessed and paid
and recovered judgment for the whole
amount upon the ground that her prop
erty had been assessed upon the basis
of frontage and no grading having been
done on the street in front of her abut-
ting property she was entitled to re-
cover the whole sum paid by her as
benefits. Held error, that although her
property was so assessed yet it being
done in pursuance Of q general under
taking or plan which included an as
sessment upon all property benefited
by such Improvement within the limits
of such plan or general undertaking she
might have been benefited by such
grading done in part, although none
OF 1t was done directly in front of her
property, and if so her property was
liable for the amount of such benefit
whatever 1t might he and that what
ever sum she was entitled to receive.
If any, would be the difference between
the actual benefits added to her prop
erty by the grading as an entirety so
far as done, and the sum which she
was so compelled to pay said city Of
Saltwater. Judgment reversed.

Syllabus-Where a person not con-

of note indorses it after prior in
signature, the law conclusively pre-
sumes it to have been done in aid of
the negotiation of the note and the
party thereby becomes a second in

the legal effect of that Endorsement by
parol evidence, as between the second
indorser and a subsequent holder of the

purchaser or not. Buck. J.

Syllabus-The burden of rebutting
the presumption of a fraudulent intent
arising from the actual and continued
possession by the vendor of property
sold rests upon the vendee as against
creditors under General Statutes 1894,
section 4219, but this burden does not
that the vendor was not implicated in
or guilty of the fraud, because the
fraudulent intent of the vendor can
not affect the rights of a bona fide
purchaser for a valuable consideration
without notice. 1t is sufficient if the
vendee is innocent of any frand and
did not participate therein and had
no notice of the fraudulent intent of
the vendor. Order affirmed.
