Action Over a Plumbing Bill.

The next case was another appeal
suit brought by William p. Connell &
Sons against DIR. j. n. Rice for an
amount of about Sl6O. Attorneys S. Il.
Price and II. C. Reynolds were for the
defendant and eX-Judge Ii. a. Knapp
for the plaintiff. DR.. Rice a few years
ago built house and all the plumbing
and gas fitting was done by the plain
tiffs. They allege that the sum men
toned is still due them. The defense
opened shortly before adjournment and
proposes ito prove that the contract DR..
Rice made for the building of the house
was made with Ezra Finn 4 Sons. THE
latter engaged the plaintiff to do the
plumbing work and Finn & Sons are
liable and not HIM. The case will be
resumed this morning.
Judge Savidge presided in No. 9 court
room and the first case brought to trial
before him was against Fur Dealer
Jacob Bolz and the plaintiff was A.
Mantner. Attorney f. n. Willard and
ex-Judge Knapp looked after the plain
tiif's interests and Attorney John f.
Scragg was for the defendant. The
amount involved is for a claim of $265. lG,
with interest from 1889. Mr. Bolz did
business in New York city in that year
and purchased material from Simon
Kemp & Sons, of Brooklyn, dealers in

Judge Archibald took the case from
the jury on motion of nonsuit by the
defendant S attorney in the trespass suit
of Michael Murray against the borough
of Winton. The next case before Judge
Archibald was the suit for damages
brought by William McMeans against
Contractor George Cooper Attorneys
Joseph OBrien and George S. Horn

neys S. B. Price and w. Gaylord
Thomas THE defendant. McMeans
worked as q hod carrier at a job on
the West Side which Cooper had the
contract for, and on pay day he dis
covered that his envelope was q dime
short
A dispute arose and each wagered
q doolar that his own figures We're the
correct ones. A stakeholder was Sc
lected who figured the matter out and
decided in favor of McMeans. This
angered Cooper, it is said, and he
knocked THE old man down, breaking
his leg near the ankle. The plaintiff
is over so years of age. The case was
tried heretofore, but the jury disagreed.
After the plaintiffs evidence was all
in, both parties got together and com
promised, settling the case upon pay
ment of $3.50 and the costs.

of beautiful reddish brown color. The
leaves, borne IN great clusters, are from

green, blended with the shining brown
branches makes a very beautiful tree
even In the absence of flowers.
But from June to August the Aztec
Willow puts on it's crown of glory Every
branch is covered, the leaves almost
hidden, by great masses of flowers the
shape and size Of Foxgloves. The color
varies from creamy white to deep shell

yellow, lilac, bronze and red. The air is
sweet with their delicate yet penetrating
odor, and their rich stores of honey at

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
nll the organs of the body are under the con.
troll of the nerve cenLerS, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
leranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re-
membered that a serious injury to he spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement Of the nerve centcrs will
cause the derangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TWO-thirdS of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centGrS at
the base of the brain, not from dCrange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it.
self The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat tho
organ rather than the nerve centcrs which
DIR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
cialist, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
ness, dullness confusion, pressure, blues
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, ST.
