No Cause for Action.

4 case for breach OF warranty between
Christian Matson and Peter HaIkuma
came up in Judge Fishers court yester.
day afternoon at 2 o'clock and il took
until nearly 6 o'clock to settle the mat.
ter. Ii seems that the two had traded
horses, the latter representing hls hor e
TO be sound and n good horse in every
respect. After having the horse two
weeks Matson had called To see Haiku
ma and was then perfectly satisfied with
the trade. Another week passed and
Matson found out that the horse baked
and he went to Halkuma and wanted to
trade back again. Now IT seems that
the horse Hulkuma got by the trade was
a wild one and il cost him considerable
money to get HIM rugged out to use him.
He said be would trade back il Matson
would put up what il cost him to tame
the wild horse
Matson said he would go to law first
and he did 80 yesterday. Attorneys
Larson & LeGendre were for the plaintiff,
and W. j. Mcdonald for the defendant.
The jury was not out long when they
returned a verdict OF mo cause for
action" and Matson will have to keep
his balky horse, make the best OF il and
pay the costs of court.

or More Than Usual Interest,

There was an interesting case in local
Justice OF the peace office one day last
week, which was settled without much
trouble, but behind the whole affair was
romance OF more than ordinary notice.
The case, as on the books OF the Justice.
was Philip Chop versus Andrew Greg
orich, suit for $50 due. The defendant
acknowledged judgment and the case
was settled then and there, and nothing
more was heard OF it for the time.
The suit originated in about this wiee:
Philip, who is a naturalized citizen OF this
country, but who came from Austria. be-
came deeply infatuated with a beautiful
maiden OF his nation, and. after pressing
his SUIT for some time, asked her to be his
bride. The fair lady refused bis suit and
he went bis way with a sad heart. The
youDg lady, after a couple OF months, re-
pented her action and, az il happened to
be leap year, proposed to Philp-after re-
fusing to marry him in the first place.
Philip was only too glad to be taken
back into her good graces and every
thing went along smoothly. The day
was re: for the wedding and marriage
license procured. As a token OF his love.
Philip bad presented his intended bride
with considerable money, to purchase her
wedding trousseau, and also a diamond
ring.
When the happy couple we're TO be
called in church, another man appeared
on the scene, whose name was Andrew
Gregorch, and who claimed the bride
was bis debtor TO the amount of some
$50. In order that the proceedings
might go on, Philip paid the money and
the marriage was then duly announced.
Another week passed and the tickle
bride-to-be decided not to marry Phillip
and returned his diamond and dresses.
which she had purchased with his money.
Phillip was sore at heart, but didn't see
what he could do but make the best OF il.
But be wanted Andrew to pay him back
his $50. Andrew refused and thus the
matter got into the courts.

Ii Was An Interesting One.
fiekIeness OF Womankind-The
Detroit Telephone Company.

The recent political meetings here did
not serve to draw out as large an aud
fence IA was expected at the monetary
club last evening, nevertheless, a large
number OF new faces were seen and all
manifested an unusual interest in the dis
cussion OF the questions, for, although
correctly speaking, only one question
was debated, il was taken from so
many different sides and in so many diff
ierent lights, that it was practically an
other question before the speakers flo
ished.
The only question was, will Free Coin

Donald opened the question, taking the
position that il would and, at some
length, showing in what way he thought
II would. Messrs. Anderson. Cooley,
HoskiDg and LeGendre we're also ex-
pressive in their views on the subject and
the discussion was quiet warm for some
time. A good deal of time was spent in
arguing what producer was and was
not and in relation to the quantitive
theory. Ii was not long, however, be-
lore the gentlemen we're entirely off the
question at issue and the chairman had
TO call them TO order on one or two oc-
casions.
The argument was long drawn out and
it was about $50 when the chairman
announced that. az there was another
question 10 be discussed, be thought il
Was time TO call halt IA there was not
much being said about whetherfree silver
was benefit or not to the producer.
However, the discussion continued until

next question, said that he would allow

GROUNDING OF THE TEXAS
A Machinist Blamed for the
Mishap by the Official
Report.
The Error Admitted Without Explana.
tion-No Damage Resulted to
the Vessel.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. 1s.-The
official report of Captain Glass and Chief
Engineer Moore of the Texas. of the
grounding of that vessel off Goat Island,
Newport Harbor, r, l.. on the evening of
the 10Th, was received this evening by
Assistant Secretary McAdoo. 1t shows
that the first reports of the accident were
somewhat exaggerated and based upon a
wrong conception of the cause of the
grounding.
The engines were stopped as the Texas
approached the berth selected for anchor
age, and when the port anchor was dropped
the usual signal to back was given. The
reversing gear of the starboard engine
temporarily refused to work, and Machin-
ist Hundley, in charge OF the port engine,
started it at full speed ahead instead of
back, thus giving the ship an unexpected
Roadway, which could not be overcome
until she grounded.
HundIev was considered a careful, COM
petent man, and while admitting that be
made an error has no explanation TO make
of it.; he simply made mistake. No dam
sge whatever resulted from the mishap.
Mr.. McAdoo will examine the reports
carefully tomorrow and later announce
the action TO be taken, if any.

OXFORD, Pa, Sept. 1S-The one hun
dred and nineteenth anniversary of the
massacre at PaoH will be observed to-
morrow as the correct date of the ami
versary falls this year on Sunday, Septem-
Der 20. The commemorative programme
will embrace speeches, martial move
ments and patriotic exercises. Governor
Hastings and many distinguished men
from other States are expected to take part
in the ceremony.
After the battle of the Brandywine the
American army moved out of the valley
of the Brandywlne. The portion of the
army under General Anthony Wayne
was ordered by Washington to lead the
advance.
On the night of the Goth General Grey
and Colonel Musgrove, with their Hessian
forces, moved upon General Wayne's posi-
ton. The Continentals were surprised,
and in the retreat were shot down with
little mercy. The Americans lost $50 killed
and wounded, while the British lost only
eight. Sentimental patriots dubbed the
fight massacre, and so it has come down
in history. In 1877 a splendid Quincy
granite shaft was erected on the spot to
commemorate the event. The remains of
fifty-three of the victims of Hessian bull
lets and bayonets sleep unaer the shaft.
