John Madison, respondent, VS.. Erick Madison,
as administrator, etc., ct al, appellants.
l. Section $3.50, General Statutes 1894, for
bids a party to action or a person inter
ested in the event thereof from testifying in
directly to conversations with or admissions
by deceased or insane party or person, by
stating in the form of conclusions of fact
the result of such conversation or the effect
of such admissions.
2. On the trial of this action one of the
main issues was whether the plaintiff made
an oral contract for the purchase of certain
land with the deceased owner thereof. Held,
that 1t was error to permit INN to testify that
he bought the land for $40 per acre from the
deceased and was to have a deed for the land
when he paid for it and that ne had done so.
But held further that the wife of the Plaintiff
who was not party to the action, was
competent witness to testify to conversations
with the deceased, relative to the issue, she
having no direct and certain pecuniary inter
est in the event of the action.
3. Where a married man sold land but his
wife did not join therein, she is not estopped
to assert, after his death, her title to one
third Of the land by the mere fact that
she knew of the sale and that the purchaser
was in possession of the land and made no
objection thereto, during coverture.
Order reversed. Start c. J.

THE FAVORITES
MOVED Up 4 PEG
Managed to Take Four of
the Events at In
gleside.
The Plungers on Strathrol Are
Beaten Out by Amelia
FonSo.
The Queorly Named Dousterswivel
Wins-R4y Salazar Carried Edu-
Gated Mouey-Torslna Bid Up

Favorites did little better at 1ngleside
Yesterday, taking four of the six events
on the card. The attendance was quite
up to the average and the betting good.
The race that caused dismay, suffering
snd sorrow in one camp was the second.
StraIhrol, running III Sam Hildreth's
co.ors, came out for the first time in many
moons and was to have been the medium
of "kilIing." Ii was such "good
hing" that many spectators in the East
had it passed to them over the wire.
Dunne's cast-off opened at twos and was
sledge- hammered down to to and even
money. And then he could not win, even
with the valuable assistance contributed by
several other starters in the race. He
did not care to exert himself the first part
despite Shields desperate urging and was
led past the wire by Amelia Fonso, to
l chance, ridden by Clawson, who quite
evidently had not been handed ticket to
slip in his boot.
The Inverness filly Marvellous was
heavily played in the opening four-and-
a-half furlong scram BILE for two-year-olds,
but away third was never able to better
her position. Marty Bergen on the TO
l choice Socialist was away first, and after
ID aking all the running was only beaten
out the last few yards bv the oddly named
Dousterswivel 10 to shot piloted by
Jimmy BoZeman.
On Thursday, in q mile race, Refugee
opened favorite and went back in the
betting. If he possessed any speed on
that occasion Thompson could not or
would not extract il from him. Yester-
day the sprinter opened 10 choice for
the third event at seven iurlongs, reced-
ing to ~ TO l. Then a big chunk of coin
went in, forcing his odds down to to 2.
He got away fret and galloped in the win
ner with ridiculous ease, four lengths or
so in front of McFarlane, a u to l out
slider. La Mascota and one or two others
ran as though standing in on the Shove"
The second two-year-old event went to
the event. oney favorite, Rey Salazar. He
was the only horse in the race backed to
any extent and after lying second TO Miss
Remsen until well on toward the wire,
won easily by length. Miss Remsen
downed Flushinston two lengths for the
place.
Bookmaker George Roses feet filly
Tor-ina was l to chance for the fifth
event at six furlongs, and after running
second to Potentate 10 the stretch, pulled
away and won under wraps. In a hard
drive, Midas got the show from Redding-
ton by a head.
The crack Vinctor again struck q soft
spot. He was a 6 to choice for the last
event, over one mile and a sixteenth, and
in a mild drive downed Imp. Trance a
neck in 1:49H. Grady, ridden by Cole,
was an Indifferent third.

complaint. He apparently rallied and
hopes were entertained of his ultimate
restoration to normal health. But on

partment, represented Howard No. 3 in
the board OF delegates, and was presid ent
of Brannan Engine Company. he was
also vice-president of the Vigilance Com.

BURNED BY THE
FAMOUS 'X-RAY
A Butcher Claims to Have
Suff cred From It's
Operation.
Thomas F. Marron Sues DR..
Philip Mills Jones ior
Damages.

TIE first action at law to recover am
ages for injuries sustained by reason OF ex-
posure to the famous X ray was begun in
the Justice Court yesterday and will no
doubt result in interesting developments
il it comes to trial.
The man who claims that he suffered
great mental and bodily anguish after nav
ing been exposed to the piercing light that
emanates from the Crookes tube is Thomas
F. Marion, butcher who is employed by
S. P. Hicks at 20l0 Fillmore street.
In the complaint filed yesterday he SAYS
that Philip Mills Jones, Md, the K ray
expert. is q duly licensed and practicing
physician and that he is advertised as the
director of he Waldeck x Ray Laboratory
at SOB Sutter street. and claims to bs partic-
ulariy skillful in the use of Roentgen's re.
Nmarkable discovery. That on March 9
last he called at the physicians headquar-
ters and made arrangements to submit
himself to the searching beam of the tube
for the purpose OF ascertaining whether he
was suffering from internal disorder.
The operation took place on March 10
and IL, and Marion claims tn at it was so
careessly and negligently conducted that
he was seriously burned on the right side
OF his body from the neck to the waist.
tnat both skin and flesh were burned and
scorched, and that the INJURIES were of so
serious character that they have not yet
healed.
He says that he has not been able to
attend to his business from the effect of
the burns, and that he has had to expend
$50 in doctors bills in an effort to
have the injured skin regain its normal
condition. He asks, in addition TO the
amount paid the physician. 1868 damages,
as compensation for the pain he has en-.
dured.
~ believe that malice on the part of
the patients parents prompted the suit
against me-" said DR.. Jones last evening.
''and / am not at all fearful that a judg-
ment will be found against me.
"Some time ago the plain tiff in the suit
against me broke a hypodermic needle off
in his chest, and all efforts to locate the
trou ublesome bit of steel by ordinary
methods proved without avail. 1t was
finally suggested that the needle might be
located by means of the x ray and was
called upon to undertake the experiment..
"A few days after the young man had
been subjected to the influence of the
x ray he complained of q burn between
his shoulder blades.
ut is true that he was subjected to the
rays for some time, and the influence NAV
have produced a slight irritation, but
nothing serious did or car come from it,

THE BIRD CAME HOME.
After Three Months and Half He
Escaped His Prison

Homing pigeon 1898, with fllmy alum
mum band on one of his al kIes, SCI a fig 1t
In Sacramento on January last
and strangely lost since then, yes
terday arrived at the home of his owner,
John Filmer, at 1856 Jersey street
Undoubtedly. as his owner believes the
bird has been in captivity somewhere be-
tween here and Sacramento, and has Just
been let loose because of the law recently
passed making it misdemeanor to hunt
or detain pigeon. The fact that some OF
the tail feathers had been pulled out, and
the aluminium band removed, seemed to
indicate this.
The remarkable thing however, abour
the return of t. e bird Is that it is now but
nine months old. and has been in captiv-
ity for more than third of that time. II
seems strange it would recollect its bea r
ings. The pigeon is California-strained d
bird. 1t shows that as good birds can be
raised here as elsew here.
The occasion for letting loose of the
feathered biped was the prize contest for
which cup was offered by Mr.. Crowley.
About $50 birds were let loose, and only
$50 came home. Mr.. Filmer let loose five
birds during the training, and there are
three of them of which he has yet heard
nothing.
