WHERE is HENRY LEWIS ?
He Gels a Legacy Of 100000 Eu! lmme.
diateiy Disappears.

New York Dec 15-Wble Sergeant
Harens was sitting at the desk In the Yer
non avenue station house in Brooklyn, last
Thursday night, poorly dressed man en-
tered and said he wanted to know if Henry
Lewis, confectioner, of No. 53 Floyd
street, had been arrested. The man said
that it was important that he should
know, as Lewis had left home that morn
ing, to go to the surrogate's office to sign
papers aud receive fortune Of $500, 600
Hartens telephoned to police headquar-
tiers and learned that Lewis had not been
arrested.
The visitor told the sergeant that, four
yeats ago, Lewis found an old woman sit,
ting on his doorstep, one evening. He
took her to his fiat, as she was friendless
He and his wife resolved to keep her there
to help care for their six children. She
remained for two years, and then, as Lewis
lost his position and could not secure an
other, the old woman insisted upon going
to the almshousee.
Lewis soon found work, but the woman
insisted upon staying where she was
Three months ago, the surrogate advertised
for the old woman, as her brother had
died, leaving $500, 900 to her. She proved
her identity and then signed her claim
over to Lewis, who agreed to give her u
home for life. Such was the story told to
Sergeant Hartens.
He inquired about it, yesterday, and
found that the neighbors Of Lewis had
heard and believed it. They added that
Lewis went to the surrogate's Office last
Thursday, signed the necessary papers and
then went off for good time with his fell
low workmen before assuming charge of
the fortune and that he was still missing
Mrs. Lewis does not appear to be at all
worried. Her husband told her that he
was to go to the surrogate's Office, last
Thursday morning, and she had not seen
him since. Some think Lewis has gone
to California

New Orleans, Dec. 5.-Representative
| Charles J. Boatner of North Louisiana, is
in this city with war paint on and search

| from his section and the occasi9B CT their
visit has given rise to the superstition that
d hostile meeting with Major j. 81. Hear

| The trouble originated in the antagon-
ism Of Boatner to the present state ad-
ministration and his opposition to the pro-
posed renom nation Of Governor Foster by

| A most violent TRAD Of abuse has been
poured forth in the columns Of the Mon

which has been attributed to Boatner In
the course Of this mud singing the direct
assertion was made that the Daily States

pagn, has supported McEnery, lottery
faction Democrat, against the antl-lottery
nominee Foster, was now Foster partisan
in consideration of the contract for the
city printing having been secu ell TO the
States.
Nm answer to this assertion the States
made an explanation of its course and de
MED emphaticaIy any combination or
agreement in connection with the Print
ing contract. The Monroe News then
opened it's mud batteries upon the states,
and Major Hearsey replied in the states

Germany Has No Use for

Berlin Pape, Digs a. President Cleveland On
Mis- Recon, Message.

Berlin. Dec. l5-The ministerial refer
enees made in the Reichstag to the bar
ring out of American insurance companies
from transacting further business in
Prussia, lacked the strict accuracy that an
honest statement ought to give.
The assertion of Freihert Marshall Won
Bieberstein, minister Of foreign affairs,
that the companies were suppressed solely
bceanse they did not choose To comply
with the regulations affecting home and
foreign insurance companies alike, totally
ignored the fact that the rules enforced
against American companies here were
drawn up in 1891 by the Prussian minis
fer of the interior, purposely to wipe out
the American insurance. companies. At
the time these regulations We're concocted,
their strong anti-American bias was
frankly avowed by officials of the home of
Office.
It can further be stated upon authority
that Geheimrsth Kniboldoberitz of the
homo office, openly admitted to the man
ager of the American Insurance Company
that the home office was searching for Il
way TO block OUT the American insurance
business from Prussia and he himself
could not rest until he had succeeded in
doing 50.

WINGED that President Cleveland is not
animated by positive i'll feeling toward
Germany, and although there is much in
his recent message to Congress that is I'M
pleasant, he was Obliged to do something
to increase his following in view of the

thought it good politics to attack Germany

Base Ball Notes.

The annual meeting of the New Eng
land League will be held in Boston, Jan
uary oth.
In speaking with Warren gentleman
about base ball he said, ''Our ball team
was the best advertisement the town Of
Warren ever had. 1t brought hundreds
of people into the town ana thousands of
people heard OF the town for the first
time through the ball games. Every cent
expended came back with Il silver coat
ing. You can rest assured that next
season Warren will be in the swim"
''Will you have ball team in Camden
next season." was asked one of the direc-
tors Of the Camden Base Ball Association
by the G. e. man. Yes sir, he re-
marked, ''of course providing that Rock
land and Warren also have teams. There
has been some talk to the contrary but
the association is free from debt the peo-
pie are educated to good ball playing,
the people are also much interested and
with fair amount of good luck we Gao
como out ahead financially. Last season
we had good team but lacked good
management on the field, Capt. German
being ton easy with the men and lack ed

lions. We could no more do without base
ball now than we could without summer
visitors You can rest assured that Cam
den is in the fight to stay and next season
will have a team of hustling young men
who will make strong bid for the pen
nant. The gentleman quoted is in a
position to know the correct condition of
affairs. There is too much sporting SEN
timent in Camden to go through a sum
mer now without a ball team.
There is not a day in the week but
what one or more persons ask us If
Rockland is going to have a ball team
next season. There never was time
when so many persons were interested in
the national sport as now. Last season
we had q very expensive team and al
though the attendance was good yet
wound up the season about $l25 in debt
which debt has not yet been wiped out.
The people saw good ball playing, in
fact. it was the best playing ever done on
the Broadway grounds, and if it were not
for the two weeks when Capt. Wakefield
was laid off with an injured hand and the
team lost six successive games the team
would have landed far in the lead The
crown bdUUT tiaN wis tnc laTgtSU UDab ever
attended q ball game in this city and
illustrated the hold the game has on the
people. Scores Of people last season at
tended game for the first time and be
fore the season closed became the greatest
cranks, promising increased attendance
next season. When the rays of Aprils
sun accompanied by warm breathing
winds melt the snow and dry up the
mud, and cause the green blades of grass
to burst through the ground, together
with the gentle twitter of song birds
announcing the close of winter and the
coming of summer then the cranks and
those who are not cranks will set up
howl, and GO down deep into their
pockets. On July 4, the Rocklands will
face either Camden or Warren on the
Broadway grounds in the opening game
of a successful season. Yes it can safely
be said that Rockland Will have ball
team next summer.

Rescript.

The following rescript has been received
by Clerk of Courts Choate in the kcnue-
bee case of Wilson NJ Hattin vs Flora
NJ. Chase Rescript by Whitehouse, J.
If the contract had been as claimed by
the plaintiff, the law would imply an IN
dertaking on his part to perform the work
IN reasonably workmanlike manner,
having regard TO the general nature and
situation of the drain and the purpose for
which it was inanifestly desigBCd and it
is an equalyswell settod rule that under
such circumstances the defendant, in the
same action Is entitled to have deducted
from the contract price, by way of recoup-
mcnt, all damages arising from a disregard
of the obligations imposed by Law 10 the
performance of the contract; as well as
those ocoasloned by u violation on the part
of the plaintitf of the expr, IS terms of the
contract.
Whether there has been q waiver by the
defendant of all objections to the drain
arising from the plaintiffs unskillful and
detective performance of the work, was a
question of fact tor the jury, to be deter
mined with reference to the intention OF
the defendant, the SUI iert matter of the
contract, dliH all tlio itItS anu
stances disclosed by the evidence 1t was
not claimed that the defendants con-
tinued possession of the farm during the
winter was any evidence of such waiver;
and the instructions To he jury that the
partial payment Of $50 on account of the
work. made even with full knowledge of
the defects in the drain. must be deemed
as a matter of law to be a waiver of all OBJ
jections to it, and final acceptance of
the WORK, was erroneous.
A partial payment under such circum-
stances would be competent evidence to be
considered by the jury in connection with
all the other facts, but it would by no
means be conclusive, and under some cir
cumstanccs would obviously have very
slight tendency to establish such propo-
sition. A dissatisfied party often makes
only partial payment for the specific pur
pose of protecting his rights under con
tract by thus resfIving an opportunity TO
assert claim for damages for imperfect
performance.
