A Street Assessment Puzzle.

L. E. Morriso n made a peculiar complaint
to the Board of Public Works yesterday.
Mr.. Morrison owns roperty at the corner
of Walnut and New Jersey streets. Some
time ago he was assessed for the improve
ment of the intersection of the two streets.
At that time the alley in the rear of Mr..
Morr1Son,S property was called Clinton
street. Under the law property owners be-
tween streets are assessed for intersections.
AS the alley was called a street at that
time, no one to the east of it was assessed.
Now Mr.. Morrison tas beer assessed for
the intersection of East and Walnut
streets. lie says that If the alley was q
street before, it is yet, and he ought not to
be assessed, as he lives west of it. If
Clinton street is an alley, people between
1t and East street ought to have been as

A Case of stove Lining.

Judge Baker, of the United States Dis
trict Court, yesterday overruled a demur-
Ter to the complaint in the case of Bucks
Stove and Range. Company, of st. Louis,
against Frederick keichle ct al, of Evans
Vile. The plaintiffs used a white enamel
as a lining for stove and range doors since
1860 and acquired great celebrity on that
account. It is charged that the defendants
Used a similar lining with the sole intent to
palm off their goods as those manufactured
by the compliments. Plaintiffs demanded
damages to the extent of SIC, 600. Judge
Baker cites a number of decisions showing
that it is not necessary to show that the
distinctive mark was a trade mark to con-
Stitute a cause of action.
1T is sufficient the opinion says, "to
justify the interposition of a court of
equity if shown that the stoves and ranges
were manufactured by the defendants and
purposcly constructed in the similitude of
with the intention and result of deceiving
the trade and public and inducing them to
purchase the goods in the belief that they
are of the plaintiffs manufacture. The i'm
itative device used Upon the stoves and
ranges manufactured by the defendants
are alleged to be employed by them for
the purpose and with the result of deceiv-
ing the public and thereby diverting the
trade of the complainant to the defendants.
This they have neither moral nor legal
right to do"
The demurrer was overruled and the case
will be tried on it's merits,
