NO SUBMERGED FLUES
REQUIRED IN PLEASURE BOAT BOIL
 FRS.
such Was the Decision Reached By Judge Martin In ind Fergus- -Wehrfritz
 Case.

An important question, in which q large number of owners of pleasure boats are interested. was decided in l the Second Division of the Pulaski Circuit Court Monday morning. It is the first time that State Court has ever decided this question.
 The style of the case was F. NJ. Fergus vs. E. c. Wehrfritz, of this city.
 Fergus owned a boat that was 7Ax52 feet, in the neighborhood of Pine Bluff. He came to Wehrfrltz in November, 1894. to get marine boiler and engine for his boat. He told Wehrfritz he wanted itfor hunt ing and plasure purposes between his farm near Pine Bluff on the Ar ansas River. WeArfritz showed him boiler that was used on some boats on rivers and lakes, made by T. NJ. Nagle of Erie. terguswas satisfied, but told WehrfritZ he knew nothing about boilers. Wehrfritz ordered the boiler from Nagle and sent it to Fergus, who put it on his boat and he expressed himself satisfied with it. After he had gotten the engine and boiler on the boat Fergus sent word to the local United States inspector to come and inspect the boiler. The inspector came over and con- | 1 !, hn.1 submerged tiues, as was required by an act of Congress. Fergus took the boiler and engine out and sub stituted another that had sub merged fiues. He sued Wehrfritz for the amount he had paid him, offer ing to return the boiler and engine.
 The court held that the contract contemplated, as Wehrfritz under stood it, was for a marine boiler for a small boat to be used for pleasure purposes on the Arkansas river in this State, and that this character of boat did not in his judgment come within the act of Congress; that snb- merged flues were not necessary for the use Fergus had mentioned to Wehrfritz. He held that while the Supreme Court of the United States had not clearly indicated what char acter of craft was within the act of Congress so far as related to traffic, that pleasure boats for these pur- poses did not come within the prov ince and act of Congress. The ques- tion has come up five times i'll the history of the country b .fore Justices Miller, Bradley, Caldwell, Supreme Court of the United States, and Judge Jos. W. Martin. all deciding alike.-Little Rock Press.

continues the able critic of that jour nal, esthat the salient attributes of his impersonations are imagination intense emotional power and spon- taneous grace of delivery. These are manifestly conspicuous at every point of his charqcterizations. Mir. Warde is by no means all there is in the cast. He need not and does not fear comparison, and has surrounded himself with an evenly balanced company, the leading members of which share honors with the star. Praise is due the productions for their historical accuracy and pictur- esque mountings, costumes, armors and accessories.
 Mr. Warde's production of Virgin jus" at the Pine Bluff Opera-honse next Monday night will be one of the leading events of the dramatic sea son, and should be witnessed by an audience that tests the capacity of the house.

An Innocent Man IN Nearly Sent to
Prison,

An Innocent Man fH Nearly Sent 10
Prison.
New York, Dec. 4.-Walter 5. Lang
,erman, who was convicted last week
of criminal assault upon Miss Barbara
Auh, a young book canvasser, is Il free
man. Miss Aub has confessed that Il
perjured Herself at the trial; that her
relations with Langcrman were 0
untary, and that his story of the al
legged assault was true throughout.
Langcrman was to have been sen
fenced Friday. but was remanded UNI
til to-day. The suImise was that Re
corler Golf WAS anxious to learn more
of Langcrnan's past in order to gauge
his sentence to he imposed upon him.
This morning Langerman was taken
before Recorder Golf for sentence in
the criminal court building. The pris-
oner's counsel. Col. HARE, moved for a
new trial. District Attorney Fellows
asked that the motion be denied and
his request was granted. Then the
recorder rose. as everybody thought,
to pronounce sentence upon LANCER
Il Recorder Golf began by de-
scribing the prisoner as Il man of evil
reputation. but suddenly broke off and
said that after the verdict was found
by the jury he had made Il personal
investigation of the case, and then he
made known the fact that Barbara
had made a confession to him toner
ating Langerman. and saying she had
done him a great wrong. She adj
mitted her relations with the prisoner
had been voluntary. The recorder
wound up by dismissing the indict-
ment against Langerman, but commit
ted him to the house Of detention as
4 witness against Miss Aub. lmmedi-
atcly after Langerman had been COM
mitted, Miss Aub was. arraigned be-
fore the court on the charge Of per-
jury.
The recorder told Miss Aub that he
was sorry for her, but that she had
done more harm to justice in general
than to Langerman personally. I'm
days coming" he said, when men are
convicted on apparently good evidence,
lawyers will point to the Aub case as
Il precedent
The recorder then committed Miss
Aub to the city prison. He then stated
that Langerman's bail had been fixed
at $1,000. Friends Of the prisoner
qualified in bonds in that sum and he
was liberated.
