Too Much "Wafting.-

Ezra Stiles, president of Yale college,
1885, was one of the most learned men
of his day He was always a student. He
took up Hebrew after he was 40. He knew
Greek and Latin thoroughly and well
coined DIR. Franklin to New Haven in an
oifhand Latin oration Among his lin
guistic studies were tho ChaldCe, Syriac,
Samaritan, Arabic, Coptic and Persian
languages
He corresponded with Indian parsecs,
was something of an electrician, some
thing of u mathematician, something Of n
chemist, something Of theologian, and
loved TO indulge in political speculations
which, strangely for New England par
son OF that generation, were full of breezy
democratic optimism. He mapped ont an
ideal commonwealth, which he confident
ly expected To appear on American ground,
of which Chancellor Kent said, in Phi
Beta Kappa address, that lit was far SUI
perior to the schemes sketchcd by Milton
or Locke or Hume.
President Stiles was not n large man,
nor had he an imposing presence. But he
loved 10 wear big wig much becurled
and was fond OF ceremony. Though a
prolific writer, he published little, but left
forty odd bound volumes of manuscripts,
which are preserved at Yale.
\ fragment, quoted by Donald G. Mitch
oil i'm his American Land and Letters"
shows that even i'm those days spread
eaglcism" ilourishcd Eulogizing George
Washington I'm an election sermon, he says:
Thy fame is Of swooter perfume than
Arabian spices in the garden of Persia. a
Baron dc Steubcn shall watt its fragrance
Co the monarch of Prussia. A Marquis dc
Lafayette shall watt IL 90 n far greater
monarch and dlfusc thy rcnown through
out Europe. Listening angels shall catch
the odor, watt it TO heaven and perfume

CONVICTION
INVALID.
Claim Made in Behalf of
William E. Potter.
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
Asked From Appellate Court by His
Counsel, Mr.. Owen.
ALLOWED COWS TORUN ATLARGE

William f. Potter's petition for writ
of habeas corpus was heard in part by the
appellate court this morning Mr.. Potter
was some time ago found guilty by "a
jury under complaint that charged him
with letting his cows run at large on the
highways of East Providence against the
provisions of an ordinance of that town.
+. +. Owen said that he asked for the
granting Of the writ because Judge Will
bur had wrongfully overruled motion
in arrest of Judgment and because the
warrant under which Potter was taken
into custody alleged no offence known TO
the law. In support of his first point,
Mr. Owen argued that tho provision that
"A motion i'm arrest must be made within
five DAYS after conviction meant after
fnal conviction, but Chief Justice Matte
son thought by conviction was meant the
verdict of the jury finding the party
charged guilty.
Mr.. owen, in support OF the second
point. argued that the complaint was bad
because il did not allege a the cows
were his property as the or, inance OF the
town on which the complain, was based
required. Edward 1. Mitchell. town So
licitor OF East Providence. argued that
the cows were described as his property
and that this was equivalent 10 state
ment that they were potter's property.
Counsel were given until saturday
within which TO file briefs and the hear
ing was continued week.

While .icGrail was at work on thu
track an engine in charge of oil engineer
passed down tftoff another truCk with frs
bell ringing. Ii Immediately came back
upon the track where McGrail was. The
sound of its approach was deadened by
the snow and there was no warning by
bell or otherwise, and it was net discov-
cred by McCirail until TOO late TO get out
of tho way and he was consequently
struck and received injuries from whicn

the gang. and man who was working

it was too late then for McGrail.
Judge Rogers was the justice who. in
the lower court, granted tho motion of
the defendants counsel for mons uit

wood Case.
Alleged Error on Pert OF Presiding Judge
and the Jury.

The case'of Emma i. Atwood, admins
tratrix VS. j. Erastus Lester and James
W. and Mary j. Stephenson was before
the Appellate Court today. The action
was one brought by the plaintiff TO re-
cover on non negotiable instrument
signed by the defendant Lester, and hav-
ing annexed to it clause upon the face
Of 1t "a guarantee. signed by the.other de-
fendants. The declaration consists of
counts upon the instrument and common
counts against tho defendant Lester, and
also against all three defendants. One
OF tho pleas set mp by the stevenson was
fraud.
At the trial of the case in tho common
pleas division before Judge Bosworth a
decision Was given for the Plaintiff
against all three OF the defendants Tor the
amount OF the note, which was. s..sSS67.
The defendants ask for new trial up
on these grounds: First, because the
court erred in not appointing q guardian
and later for the Defendant, Lester, who
was represented TO be- under mental dis
ability; second, because the court erred
in It's ruling admitting and excluding
testimony against the objection of the
counsel for rhe defendants 20 which rul-
inRs exceptions were duly taken and al
lowed; third, because the Judge erred in
iioNs hbtiiik VIZ dh'S AhHl illt liaihAlh
was entitled to judgment against all
three defendants; fourth, because the vor-
dict against the Stoyensons was against
the evidence.
In regard 10 the second point the error
in that certain evidence was offered and
excluded TO show that the transaction in
the course Of which the note was given
was fraud upon tho rights of third
party and thnt 1t was attempted to snow
that party of the money for which the
note was given belonged TO an absent
beneficiary and that Ii was drawn from
the bank and loaned TO the defendant,
Lester. for the purpose Of 80 covering Ii
up that the true owner should he return
would be unable TO find It,
On behalf OF the plaintiffs, 10 was urged
that there wos no error in the ruling of
the court below and that tha defendants,
| the Srevens0ns, were clearly liable as
sureties
Cooke a. Angel were attorneys for tho
plaintiff and Elmer w. Wilcox and Ed
