time to such extent that the electoral
vote of Missouri will. in 1856. be
cast for the republican candidate.
Heretofore the republicans Of Mis-
souri, have taken hut little part in
national politics, q few being per-
mittcd to represent the entire party,
but to-day Il new condition OF
affairs exists. Missouri is no longer
democratic state; she has shaken
herself free from old prcjudices,
and stands out boldly for the par
tv of protection and sound money.
In 1896. Missouri will be found
to have Joined forever the republic
can ranks. and this to Missouri
means bright future. But in
order for Missouri to reap the full
benefit OF aIl that is in store fer her
the masses OF the republican party
must awaken, and take an active
part in the party politics, see to it
that representative men, the best
men in the party, are the ones rc-
co9nlzed to represent the party at
county, state and national cOnvcn-
tion>. and not permit simply ma
chine men to dictate who shall be
delegates to the different conven-
tlonS.
\ legislature is to be elected,
upon which will devolvc the duty
of c!ccting a United States senator;
governor, together with other
state officers. are to be elected.
That the republicans will be sue
ccssful in electin@ the, state officers,
together with the legislature, and
thus securing Il representative in
in the United States senate Is even
conceded by the opposition, hence
the Importance to the republican
party in Missouri that the best men
in the party shall be placed at the
head of affairs, and this can only
be done by each republican consid-
ering it his duty TO attend part;
meetings, whether ward, county OF
judicial, and there to express him
self as to his preference on the sub
ject Of who shall represent the par
ty.

,TwAs HIS DAY
To Be Sick, and His Wife Had to
Await Her Turn.

Judge.
When Mr.. Neverwell came down to break
fast one morning recently his face wore that
sadly drawn-down expression indicating that
something was wrong with his physical man,
and when he drew up to the table he gave
vent to a slight sigh. When his coffee and
cakes were set before him he dallied for
time before eating, but at length began slow
ly to put away a comfortable meal AS he was
finishing his third cake he CHANGED to OBJ
serve that his wife not eating.
whats the matter, love?" he inquired.
I'm not feeling well.
What You're not sick, too are your!
No reply being offered to this useless query,
he continued:
Now, that's too bad; it is really. I'm dis
gusted-no, I'm sorry. But what's the matter
with you, anyway
Mrs N said she had a headache and was
short of appetite.
"Bosh every Bit" exclaimed Mr.. n. why.
you must feel better at once-immediately.
Understand"
How strangely you talk, Henry! What do
you mean?''
II mean" said Mr.. NJ. his voice sinking
into the sigh key, that I'm sick myself TO-
day. It's my turn. You were sick yesterday
you know and I've everything arranged at
the office, and just can't put it off now Try
and brace up, love-

of Joseph Haide against the st. Paul
Fire & Marine Insurance company, and
holds that the plaintiff is not entitled
to recover by reason of the fact that
the house that was burned stood two
feet in on an adjoining lot, the policy
specifying that it did not apply to any
building not standing on ground owned
by the insured Following is Judge
-Kerr's memorandum:
The policy contained the following condi-
tons:
This entire policy shall be void If the in
terest of the insured be other than uncon-
ditional and sole ownership; or if the sub
ject of the insurance be a building on the
ground not owned by the insured in fee SIM
pie.
The condition in the policy was a condi-
ton precedent to the attaching of the risk;
If not true when the policy was issued there
was no enforcible agreement.
1t is admitted that the house which was in
sured stood twenty feet lengthwise in the
street and sidewise two feet upon the adjoin-
ing lot in which the insured had no right,
title or interest, and that the house had been
built over upon said lot without the permits
sion of the owner thereof.
II may be admitted that substantial COM
pliance with the conditions in such policy
would prevent forfeiture; that when build
ing encroached slightly upon the property
of another as not materially to increase the
risk 1t would not operate to avoid policy, but
1t must be apparent that frame building
such as this, built two feet over the line, must
be moved as an entirety the wall along
the whole torn down and rebuilt within the
line in order to make it conform to the condi-
tons of the policy.
The cost of doing this would by just so
much diminish the value of the building as
it stood at the time the policy was issued,
and it goes without saying that the risk would
be increased by the possibility that the in
sured might at any time be compelled to so
move or rebuild the house.

LAWYER .BARToN's VERDICT
ENTITIES HIM TO ST. OF THE
CASH OF JOSEPH r.
- WE1DE.
OLD UPPER LEvEE CASE ENDED
In Decision Sustaining the Order
Allowed Barton by the Probate
Court.

In the appeal Of Joseph R. Weide ST.,
as administrator of the estate Of Nellie
M. Weide, deceased, from an order Of
the probate court allowing Humphrey
Barton $840 as attorney fees, Judge
Kelly yesterday filed decision sus-
tanning the order Of the probate court
Bartons claim was for legal services
rendered under contract in connec-
ton with a fight over the assessment
of some property on the upper levee
for public improvements. Barton was
to get nothing unless he succeeded in
the conflict against the assessment. He
made an interminable fight, but, it ap
pears, got the worst of 1t right along,
as far as the courts were concerned.
FINALLY, however, the assessment was
abated by the city's failing to reassess,
and on this ground Barton demanded
his fees, which were refused. He put
in a claim against the estate, and the
probate court allowed it, but Weide
took an appeal.
In the trial on this appeal, Barton
and S. L. Pierce, Mr. Weides attor-
ney, came near indulging in personal
encounters time and again. Judge
Kelly at first tried to restrain the bel
ligerents, but, finding it useless, gave
them plenty of latitude to fight it out
Not desiring to place himself in the
PSSoiIAOi VI iClcl &C III pIlZS liz III, Iucy
were not allowed to strike each other,
however. In the memorandum attach
ed to his decision Judge Kelly takes a
shot at Barton and Weide both, but
lets Pierce off without any reference
to him whatever, thinking, possibly,
that the humiliation of defeat is a suffi-
cient jar to his nervous system. Fol
lowing is part of the memorandum:
That Mr.. Barton tried hard to relieve his
client from every obligation growing out of
the upper levee' matter, the records CT this
court and the memories of nearly all the
judges will attest. Five or six separate ac-
tons were brought, and this court was both
cred with them for years. Some went to
the supreme court That as a general thing
the courts denied the relief sought was as
much due to the lack of merit in the case
as to any other cause AS one judge re-
marked, with an industry and pertinacity
worthy of a better cause, after each defeat
Mr.. Barton came again with some new ques-
tion.'
Now, as is usual, the man who made all
these proceedings possible objects to paying
the piper The appellant was advised by
letter dated March g. $685. that respondent
would insist on the fees specified, If the city
abates the assessment or interest and penal
ties The city did abate the assessment by
taking no steps to reassess. The shifting
of position by the appellant with respect to
his attorneys and whether or no he had any,
made painfully apparent to the court in the
course of this long series of litigation, has
contributed not little to his troubles"

is this hack engaged?" asked a fat
man, as he rushed up to the pleasant
faced genial hackman who holds forth
at Liberty and Market streets, the
other night.
No, sir; she's free, and at your SER

ME- with one of his politest bows
Drive me to Union station as fast
as your nags will take me- called out
the fat man, as he dragged his feet into
the hack and banged the door shut.
With a smile on his face, Jimmie
climbed to his box, cracked his whip,
and his two sleepy-looking steeds
their eyes, and when they heard Jim
mics familiar cry of "G'lang," they
got. Across the car tracks the hack
rolled. The hack had not proceeded
far before Jimmie became aware that
something was wrong. He did not know
what it was, and he was sure he did
not have time to stop and inquire. The
horses also thought something unusual
was going on, and only kept up their
pace under the severe Applicant ton of
the whip.
Jimmy heard the man in the hack
yelling at the top of his voice. but he
thought he was only hurrying him up.
People on Sixth avenue heard the tu-
multi and ran down to the corner to see
what was the matter. Among them
was policeman, who thought the cab
man was on a spree and was doing the
yelling. He ran in front of the horses
and succeeded in stopping them. Be
fore he had chance to ask Jimmie the
cause of the trouble his attention was
attracted to vigorous humping on
the hack. An investigation showed that
the fat man had fallen through the bot
tom Of the hack and was astride the
running gear His body was still in the
hack, but his feet were on the ground,
and he was compelled to run to keep up
with the team. The door was opened
and the fat man permitted to get out of
his unpleasant position. The fat man
demanded of Jimmie what he meant by
such treatment.

BROADWAY BRIDGE CASE.
City's Right of Way Limited to Sixty
Feet,

Judge Brill yesterday filed a decision
against the city in the Broadway
bridge case, tried short time ago.
This is an action begun by the Great
Northern Railway company to prevent
the city from putting in an approach
to the Broadway bridge below Third
street, on the ground that the plaintiff
owned the property, and the city had
no right Of way for a street across it
at that point. The city claimed an
eighty-foot right Of way, and Judge
Brill decided in favor of the city. The
case went up to the supreme court,
which affirmed Judge Brilrs decision
as to sixty feet of the right of way,
but ordered another hearing as to the
other twenty feet, and it is on this
second hearing that Judge Brill has
just rendered his decision.
This decision will have no effect as
far as the building of the bridge is
concerned, however. Capt. OGorman,
of the board of public works, says
that the approach to the bridge is to
be only forty feet wide. If the city
had won, there would be room for
twenty-foot driveway on each side, but
now the space will permit of only one
driveway, the approach being pushed
to the north edge, so as to leave the
space all on one side. Following Is the
memorandum attached to Judge Brill S
decision:
I was of the opinion on the former trial
that the deed from Cakes to Borup conveyed
all of Kittson's addition save the portions
expressly excepted. AS l understand the
opinion of the supreme court it holds that
the deed from Cakes to Borup did not convey
the land in section 5, and the foregoing find
fngs as to ownership under deeds wherein
they differ from the former findings, are based
upon such construction of said deed by the
supreme court
The findings as to possession leave the
property in somewhat singular situation,
but | do not see how the findings could well
be otherwise, in view of the decision of the
supreme court. 1t expressly houlds that the
city is not in possession of the whole tract
and that the railroad company is In possess
sion of a portion of it, aside from the part
occupied by the old office building 1t also
strongly intimates that the evidence requires
part.
The railroad company, from the time the
contract of purchase made down to 1887.
was in possession of the whole twenty feet
1t was as much in possession all the time since
1887 as it was at the commencement of the
action, save as to the part occupied by the
sidewalk and the water main. 1t was not
In possession Of the portion occupied by the
sidewalk and the water main for twenty wears
but 1t was in possession of the remaining por-
ton of the strip. At the commencement of
the action it had been in possession of that
portin for more than twenty years, and the
finding is based upon that theory. The evil
dence as to the possession of the respective
parties at the time of the commencement of
the action is not materially different upon
this trial from the evidence at the other trial.

VERDICT FOR wINsHIP.
Jebb's Billing and Cooling an Expen-

When the verdict of the jury in the
suit Of Albert L. Winship against
Thomas Jebb for the alienation of his
wife's affections was opened yesterday,
and the result of the jury's delibera-
lions was made known, every one who
heard 1T was surprised 1t gives Mr..
Winship $500 damages. Considering
the fact that Jebb had previously
decided his home to Mrs. Winship, 1t
brings the cost of his billing and COO
ing up to a handsome figure. His at
torney will move to have the verdict
set aside or a new trial granted, and,
falling in this, an appeal will be taken
AS announced in yesterdays Glob e.
1T was midnight Wednesday night be-
fore the jury agreed, having then been
out about twelve hours.
