SOUTHERN STATES" MAGAZINE

In accordance with its policy Of setting
forth the truth about the South of the
past as we'll as Of the present, and Of
promptly showing the fallible Of much
so-called history, the Southern States"
magazine for May discusses editorially
Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson's
"reminiscences of his experiences in Kan
sas and his connection with John Browns
raid. The attempt at what is termed a
correction of perverted history" is
sharply criticised and it's weakness is
clearly proved by Colonel Higginsons
own words.
DR.. Charles w. Dabney, Jr., adds this
month to the valuable series of paper
which he is contributing to the Southern
States" another of practical and vital i'm
portance to the farmer. Treating of the
erosion of soils traceable in its rapidity
to a variety OF causes, he demonstrates
the necessity for attention to the subject
and for instruction in methods of restora-
ton. He clearly outlines the operations
for the preservation of hillside soils and
the redemption of land that has been
washed and quilted into unsightliness and
waste, but the curing Of old washes and
the prevention of new ones are only part
OF the task Too frequently 1T is hamper
ed by the fact that man has removed the
means whereby nature would have been
able to aid him in rebuilding the SOIL
Commerce, cultivation and carelessness
have robbed the hilltops of their trees
and shrubbery; there remains no cover
ing to hold the rain, which, rushing down
the hills in torrents, increases the work
of destruction. Much of the labor of
the farmer, therefore, will be lost until
the hilltops are covered again.
Mr.. Richard II. Edmonds, editor OF the
| Manufacturers Record, contributes to
this months Southern States" an arti-
Gle tersely summarizing the recent trend
of foreign trade to Southern ports and

tag es that are to accrue to the South. lie

LAW COURT DECISION
In the Case Of Augustus r. Harrington VS..
Emery O. Beane. Administrator.

The following rescript has been re-
ceived by Clerk of Courts Choate in the
kennebec county case of Augustus r.
Harrington VS.. Emery o. Beane, admr.
Observation-Disclosures ].
l. This action for breach of the
covenants of warranty in a deed of
real estate was maintainable by tue
plaintiff although the deed in question
and the mortgage back from the plain
1ff to the defendants intestate were a
part of the same transaction and con-
tanned the same covenants of warranty
and although the relation of mortgagor
and mortgage still subsists between
these parties.
2 The exercise by stranger of his
paramount right of fiowage was an in
terruption of the plaintiffs full enjoy
ment of the premises. 1t was
permanent substraction from
the substance of the estate. All the
damages resulting from the cucumber
ance created by the covenantor's former
grant of perpetual easement to flow
portion of the land were suffered by
the plaintiff in contemplation of law on
the day of the conveyance to him.
The rules of damages in this class of
cases. as in all others. are designed to
give the aggrieved party a fair indem-
nifty for the damages sustained-an ex-
act equivalent for the loss or injury.
He is to be made whole as far as money
is measure of just compensation In
this case the defendant must make
good his warranty; he must pay a sum
of money which will put the plaintiff
in as good condition as If the defendant
had kept his covenants.
The cause of action was not only a |
breach of the covenant against encum-
berances out also of the covenant toI
warrant and defend. BY the exercise
of the outstanding right to flow, por-
tion of the land flooded and covered
with water, and of such land the plain |
tiff was deprived of the use, and really |
and practically of the possession, and |
thus there was substantially an evic- |
ton. 1t is properly deemed an eviction |
pro tanto.
The plaintiff was entitled to recover
as damage the difference between the
value Of the farm as it was in fact and
its value as 1t would have been with
out the circumference Of the para
mount right to flow. with interest there
on from the date of the conveyance to
the plaintiff.
Exceptions overruled.

GUNBOAT SUNK.
Rebels Destroy Spanish Yes.
sci by Means Of a Torpedo.
Reported that Every Member Of Crew
Was Killed or Wounded
BY Rain Of Bullets Poured in by lnsur. ents
from River Bank.

Havana, Jan. 19.-Sunday, Spanish
gunboat was sunk by the insurgents by
means of torpedo, and several OF her
crew killed. A detachment of rebels
attacked the fort at Guamo, some dis
lance up the CautO river, province of
Santiago de Cuba, and the Spanish
troops asked for assistance from Man
zanillo, on the coast.
Saturday night, the gunboats Cen
tenila and sRelampago left Manzanillo
to ascend the river and protect the
fort. The gunboats used all possible
speed in running up the coast to the
mouth of the river, but when they be-
gan to ascend the stream they pro-
ceeded cautiously as it was suspected
that the rebels might have planted tor
pedoes in the channel.
When the gunboats We're opposite
Mango, despite all the precautions
taken.the Relampago struck torpedo.
Instantly there was terrific explosion
and masses of water We're hurled to a
great height. The hull Of the Relam-
pago was torn open and she began to
sink. There was no time to lower
boat and the vessel went down.
Those on board who were not in
jured, jumped into the water and made
their way in the direction of the Gen.
tenila, aboard of which the greatest
excitement prevailed. The Centenila's
boats were ordered away to assist in
the rescue of the RelampagO's crew.
The rebels appeared to be in strong
force along the banks OF the river and
when they saw the Spaniards in the
water they directed a heavy rifle fire
upon them. The Centenfla opened fire
upon the rebels, but as their position
could only be discovered by the smoke
from their guns ii Is not believed that
any serious losses were inflicted upon
them.
When the Centenila's boats attempt
ed to rescue the men struggling in the
water the rebels fired upon them but
the Spaniaxds persisted in the work of
rescue until the men were taken in
from the water Nearly every survivor
of the Relampago's crew was wounded
and were only few belonging to the
Centenila We're not hit by a rebel bull
let. The commander of the Centenila
was probably fatally wounded.
The condition of the survivors was
such it was impossible for the Cen
teniIa to proceed to Guamo and she re-
turned to Manzanillo where the news
of the disaster caused intense excite
ment.
The official report of the affair states
that the commander, second engineer
and three sailors OF the Relampago
We're killed. and her boatswain quar-
termaster, chief engineer. pilot and
four sailors wounded. The boatswain
of the Centenila was killed, and the
pilot, second engineer. a gunner and
six sailors We're wounded
Both gunboats We're small vessels in
tended principally for river service and
they did not carry large crews.
