HIGHER COURTS.

Austin. Texas, october Following is
the synopsis OF an opinion delivered by
the supreme court today.
JOHN DURST VS.. MARY NJ. MANN: APP
plicat!on for writ Of error. in n case
from Mitchell county. Second district
Dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
This is a reversed and remanded case.
In order to show iurisdistion in this court,
the applicant asserts that this court has
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding II was re-
versed. Because two of the courts OF civil
appeals hold differently on the question Of
law herein presented" (See c. 4.
1888 and c. A.. 2S7)
Neither of the eases cited present the
precise question decided In the case be-
fore us. II is true. however. that the
two cases cited above are in conflict.
In the cases cited the lands of the re
spectivc plaintiffs were entirely inclosed
by the lands Of the respective defendants.
so that the latter in enclosing their own
lands necessarily included those OF the
plaintiffs. In the present case the lands
of the respective parties join each other
but those OF the defendant below the APP
plcant hero, do not surround those Of tho
plaintiff. In order to enclose her land
she constructed her fence on two Of his
outer lines. The question of the liability
OF the defendant for rents In this case
rests, therefore. upon different state o,
facts from the question presented in the
cases cited by the applicant The cases
involve very different questions
Dismissed for want Of jurisdiction.

ms STAR OF DESTINY.

j. Edward Addicks came TO Dela-
ware to buy its government and to
pervert it to his own personal uses and
abuses.
He spent large sums of money to ac-
compllsh his ends; procured the best
political agents he could find in the
market. and began a systematic attack
upon the electorate of the state. He
began his nefarious work in Sussex,
carried II into Kent and thence into
New Castle.
Just when he thought that he had
everything arranged for the grand
stroke which was to elevate him to the
power which he so coveted. the respect
able element of the Republican party
broke away from him and set up an
independent organization, which is
about to destroy him. Struggle as he
may he cannot save himself from the
fate which has always, sooner or later
oyertaken political adventurers in
Delaware. On Tuesday what power he
has will be broken, and his following
will fall away from him so rapidly
that by the next state election he will
be taken into account merely as a de-
structive element whose sole aim is to
prevent Republican success
When ex-senator Anthony Higgins,

Benjamin Nieds, Colonel Henry A.
DUPONT, William S. Hilles and the
many other prominent regular Repub-
licans banded themselves together to
take the scalp of the gas man they con-
stituted a political force against which
he was wholly unable to cope. Slowly
but surely his star of destiny has been
or the wane, and 1t will sink with the
sun on Tuesday evening, never to rise
again in Delaware.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE CoMPREssED-AIR MOTOR

The experiments that are being
made and are about to be made with
the compressed-air motor in this city
give promise of new power to be ap-
piled to the traction of street cars
which may displace all other, and if it
proves successful is pretty sure to fin
ish the use of the horse in that ca
pacity. In fact, the company engaged
in supplying these motors and the ap-
pliances for charging them with COM
pressed air has been through its own
stage OF experiment and regards the
success of this mode of traction as as
sured.
If It works successfully on our lines
of street cars and on the elevated
roads, the determining question will be
that OF economy If the cost of opera
ton, including interest on the first in
vestment in plant" should be less
than that of cable and electric traction,
there can be no doubt Of the ultimate
result 1t may not displace at once the
use of the cable and the trolley where
| the expense of installation has al
ready been incurred, but it will pre-
vent the further extension of those sys-
TENS and any costly renewal of worn
out plants. In this city, from whose
built-up sections the trolley has been
excluded, it will be a special boon in
providing for extensions and transfer
lines wheAe the horse still fingers.
One great advantage of the new sys-
tenn lies in the fact that when once the
machinery for charging the cylinders
with compressed air has been set up
each car can be put upon the track
quite independent of any motive power
except what it carries with it, being in
that respect like the storage battery
electric car 1t can travel on the same
lines with cable cars or trolley cars ol
horse cars, supplementing their ser
vice and displacing them gradually, a!
the consideration of convenience OF
, economy may justify. II a motor car

will draw a loaded ive-car train owe
all the grades for the requisite dis
lance and at the necessary speed, tn
locomotives can be displaced as rapid.
as the substitutes can be provided.
Should compressed air prove TO b

"Now l can see no reason why any
true Republican should file an objec-
ton against me, and refuse to give me
his vote" says Rev. Jonathan S. Willis
in his piteous appeal for votes. Every
one knows that the only consistent
course to pursue on the part of those
who oppose Mr.. Addicks is to confne
their fight to the legislative ticket, and
yet, from the tone OF the speeches maze
by number of gentlemen during the
past week, it would seem that the op-
position has been transferred from Mr
Addicks to myself" We wish to cal
attention to the fact that Addicks diC
not conhne his fight to the Legislative
ticket, but set up contest all alonl
the line, endeavoring 10 crush every
thing in his path. Willis led one o
his divisions. Ex-senator Higgins an

BIG FARM PRODUCTS.

Captain Thomas Johnson, formerly
superintendent of the Harlan and Hol-
lingsworth Company, who is in the
city. brought with him some mammoth
products of his farm at Reeds wharf,
near Exmore, Va. One of the products
is a large pumpkin, which weighs 1856
pounds. This is a monster and contains
enough Of the luscious yellow meat
for many a 'punkin" pie. There are,
besides, two immense twin beeds, each
Of which is about eighteen inches long
and twelve inches in circumference
There are also a number of large po-
tatoes, none of which weighs less than
two pounds.

A Q HANps oFFo PATRIor.

Here is an extract from Hon. Jona-
than S. Willis latest letter begging
for regular Republican votes:
1T is not necessary for me to re-as-
sert that with regard to the contention
growing out of the election and seating
OF a United States senator, l have, ac-
cording to my best understanding, kept
my hands off. The Constitution and
laws OF the United States justify the
course / have taken"
He kept his hands OFF for the purpose
of creating a vacancy for the benefit OF
J. Edward Addicks, who wished tc
make another fight for the honor two
years later. That is the sort Of regular
Republican patriot that Rev. Jonathan
S. Willis is.

DID 1T HURT YoU9
& Question That Is OFTEN Out of Plao
and Unnecessary.

Question That Is Often Out OF Place
and Unnecessary.
The old hymn in Sam Taylor's "Orig-
inal Poems" beginning with WHO ran
10 help me when 1 fell?3 ought to have
a provisional clause added to it. The
person who hastcns to help a sufferer
who has been shocked by fall should
not say a single word. OF course the
benevolent bystander is brimful Of
questions: "Where are you hurt?'
"Have you sprained your ankle?" and
lastly the insane request TO know
whether you can fall down flight of
30 steps or from piazza 10 feet above
ground and not be damaged any more
than if you had thrown yourself on a
down pillow only foot away.
OF course you are hurt, and the nerve
shock is so great that any sort of ques-
tion, even if "they" shall fetch hot
water, is an additional blow to the nerv-
Gus system. You are suffering, per-
haps, too much to speak, yet they pelt
you with questions while every power
of your body is endeavoring TO regain
self control. You ought not to answer.
You would like to scream that "it
hurts" a hundred times more for being
summoned to speak and to diagnose
yourself.
All instructions in the line Of First
aid TO the injured should begin with,
'Be perfectly silent when you run to
lift or help a person who has been
knocked down OF who has fallen and is
still partly dazed with the tremendous
shock" Let it be for the sufferer to
say, "Oh, my head" or ooh, my legl'
OF back. He will indicate as soon as it
is necessary the injured part, but mean
while you are driving him nearly fran
tic by asking about it. These simple yet
important directions do not seem to be
impressed upon the average helpful
mind.
Tact, OF all things, is as necessary az
a knowledge Of a tourniquet made from
a stick and q pocket handkerchief. Hot
water, Of course, is required for al
bruises and sprains, but let it be
brought without asking. The relief tC
the victim Of an accident in having
swift and noiseless helpers about him ol

actly what to dds very great. Any

Dear other self, SO silent. swift and sure,
My dumb companion Of delightful days,

From reed or shell. What melodies would pour

OF April 9 budding green. while evornore
We twain, one living thing, flash like the light
Down tho Ions tracks that stretch from sky to

It must not be presumed that all Of
the workmen in line tonight are regu-
lar Republicans. Thanks to the intimi-
dation of the Republican employers
hundreds of Democrats, Addicksites
Single Takers and Prohibitionists will
be in line for fear OF losing their jobs
That seems to be the order Of the day
Come out and march or go home and
starve." It is a shameful piece of bust
ness on the part Of Republican en-
ployers, and win be resented by the
workingmen when they go to the polls
on Tuesday.

Very properly the obliteration OF
state rights and the doctrine of gold
monometallism go together. They are
both English ideas. If they were fol-
lowed out they would eventually lead
to the end of the state governments
and to the monetary policy Of England
as regards gold. If this should occur
which God forbid, the revolutionary
war would have been fought in vain

A TROUPE IN TROUBLE.
COMPANY OF COLORED PLAYERS
REFUSED AN ENGAGEMENT AT
THE BIJOU.

An organization of colored players,
calling themselves 1.-THE Southern Fun
makers" applied for an engagement at
the Bijou Theatre for the last three
nights of this week.
They opened Thursday evening to a
fair-sized audience, and the perform
ance was apparently satisfactory to pa
irons and the management of the house.
On Friday night thee ompany went
to the house, only to find it shut and
dark. The company's trunks and bag
gage are locked up in the property
room of the theatre.
Messrs. Beverly and Turner, the
managers of the company, have Sc
cured Leonard e. Wales, Jr., as coun-
sci, and will endeavor to secure at least
their wearing apparel.

AN EMBEzzLER ARREsTEp.

CA. Gordon, colored, was arrested this
morning by Constable Smith, charged
with embezzling $139 belonging to the
colored A. p. A. organization. It
seems that Gordon had access to the
books and papers of the society, and
for a long time has been drawing
money out of the Artisans Savings

The Winsor Line steamship Spartan
came in to the shipyard of the Harlan and

extensive repairs. She will so in dry dock
this evening or Monday. 1t viii be re-
membered that the Spartan ran aground
at Anglesea, on the New Jersey coast,
about ten days ago. and was only hauled
off after much effort by fleets of tugs. She
was built by the Harlan and Hollings-

Philadelphia and New York, and is of

NOT FURNISHING RECEIPTS

1t has been rumored for several days
past that several manufacturing es-
Establishments were running tax receipt
bureaus, in other words furnishing tax
receipts upon which their employees
might vote. The Pusey and JOntes
Company was mentioned among the
firms so doing, but an investigation by
an Evening Journal reporter this
morning produced no ground for the
charge. and no one around the plant
seemed to know anything about it.

Hon. Jonathan S. Willis is now
down on his knees crying for regular
Republican votes. No man in the state
needs more or will get fewer of them.
Washington Hastings gave him his an
swer at the Opera House meeting last
evening. Mr.. Willis must go down with
Addicks and Addicksism. There is no
salvation for him. He has helped
wreck the Republican party and now
the Republican party will help wreck
him. He richly deserves his fate. A
minister of the gospel who joins hands
with Addicks in his work of corrup.
ton is neither fit for pulpit nor place
in Congress.

THANK HIM FOR NOTHING.

Major Raymond has decided not to
have the mud dredged from Cherry Is
land flats dumped in the western chan
nell of the Delaware, between Pea
Patch Island and Delaware City. We
are pleased to note that he has at last
come to his senses. No thanks are due
to him from Delawareans, for the
mud would undoubtedly have been
dumped there had it not been for the
earnest protest Of the press and citizens
of this state, who saw their riparian
rights menaced to satisfy an expert
mental whim of a government engi-
neer.
Major Raymond knew better than to
persist in his intentions, for everything
was in readiness to stop the work the
moment that the contractors dumped
the first scow-load of mud near Della
ware City, and they would have been
so harrassed that they could have ac.
complished but little of their ruinous
work until December, at which time
/ Congress, at the instance of Senator
Gray, ex-senator Higgins and Other
prominent Delawareans, would hav,
taken cognizance of the matter and pu
a curb upon the major in his work o
