F. M. WAITE OUT OF JAIL.
To Secure His Release lie had "a Make
Settlement with =. n. sherman.

At an adjourned hearing Monday the pc
tltion OF Fred NJ Waite for a release from
jail on account of the state of his health
was argued before Judge JIM. Tyler in the
probate Office On the day OF the last
hearing Drs. Gale and Holton. who had
made an examination of Waite at the re-
quest of $. II. Sherman. on account of an
execution in whose favor Waite was CON
fined, stated that Waite was suffering from
diabetes in a severe form, but that if he
was kept upstairs and furnished a strict
diet he would probably get along as well as
he would if enjoying his liberty, consider
ing the temptations which there would be
IN the latter case to partake OF forbidden
articles Of food Open air and plenty OF
exercise, they said were desirable for per
sons affected with diabetes and if he would
follow a strict diet outside 1t might be bet
ter for him to be out OF jail
At Mondays hearing Miss Kate Under
wood testified that Waite had been furn-
ished strict diet as ordered two weeks ago
by DR.. White of Wiliamsvile. who was
Walte's attending physician. DR.. White
testified that Waite had not improved dur
ing the past two weeks and that his condi-
ton was critical. Or. Bruce stated that
Waite was declining rapidly and that the
pains which were frequent in the prisoner
head and neck were indications of the
progress OF the disease The counsel for
Mr.. Sherman then advanced the claim that
since the last hearing, and while Waite
had been upstairs in Jail. he had been furn-
ished with sugar by the prisoners in the
lower jail which had aggravated his case.
and claimed to have evidence TO prove their
claim. Waite admitted that sugar had
been passed up to him by other prisoners
once, but stated that he had not eaten it.
The counsel tor Mr.. Sherman stated that
they should rely upon Merton Bailey, a
prisoner al the Jail TO show that sugar had
been passed up to Waite in large quantities
by the other prisoners The court granted
continuance of the case Tor week and
remanded Waite to jail.
Waite thereupOn made overtures to Mr..
Sherman TO settle the case then and there.
He made over TO Mr. Sherman all of his
property, except some household goods, in
GLIDING equities in real estate and other
property valued at several hundred dollars,
and also gave Mr.. Sherman several receipts
upon an insurance policy for $1,000 which
the latter holds upon Waite's life Nh
Sherman thereupon consented TO his re-
lease. c. {. Fits conducted the case for
Mr.. sherman. and Waterman. Martin ~
Hit for Nj Waite
The action under which Waite was com
mitted TO jail was one of tort brought by
5. II. Sherman. alleging the wrongful dis
posal OF property upon which Mr.. Sherman
held a mortgage The action was brought
at the September term of the county court
and Nj. Sherman got judgment for S117J.
An appeal was taken to the supreme court,
where Waite confessed judgment, and last
January the court ordered q close Jail Ger
tihcate. Waite had been in confinement

NEW YORK MUST PAY ss1s.o74.82

Judge Wheeler's Final Decision IN the
hnibbs Valve Case. ON which several
Hearings Have Been Held in Brat
tIebOro.
Judge Wheeler handed down a decision
in the United States circuit court IN New
\ ork last Friday, allowing Christopher c.
Campbell the sum OF SolS,074.32 in his
suit against the city of New York for in
tringement OF a tire-englne patent This
patent covers, or did cover during its life,
the relief valve now used on all steam fire
engines. BY the use of this valve. which
IS a very simple device, the engine may be-
kept running at full speed and pressure
while the water is shut OF or turned on al
the nozzle OF the hose. and no damage re-
suits 10 the hose or the machine on &C
count OF over pressure. This device was
the invention OF James knibbs. Troy, y.
Y, fireman. 20 whom a patent was grant
ed in 1861. The late Marcus P Norton held
a half-interest IN the patent, and Mr.. y orton
brought the original suits. against several
cities Tor infringement. Suits against the
cities OF Boston and Haverhill, Mass, were
disposed OF several years ago. In course
OF time an assignment Of the patent was
made 10 Christopher c. Campbell who
now appears as the plaintiff.
These suits have a loca. interest from
the fact that they We're brought before
Judge Wheeler. and that all the more i'm
pOrtant hearings have been heard before
Judge Wheeler at Brattleboro The most
interesting OF these hearings was that held
in the case against "the mayor. aldermen,
and cUmmonalty OF the city of New York
in July. 1901. THIS hearing lasted 10 days
and among the exhibits introduced was an
ola ire engine from Hartford. Conn.
which was brought here on Judge Wheel
er's order 10 determine how long the Knibbs
valve had been in use. II was found, on
taking the machine TO pieces, that the
valve was not in the machine originally.
but that it had been placed there after
ward when changes and repairs were
made. Al that time II, d. Hadiock and
Marcus P. Norton appeared for the plain
tin and Frederick Il. and Samuel L. Belts
of New York for the defence, Judge
Wheelers decision, given soon after. sus-
tanned the patent Another hearing was
held here on the settlement of the decree
for an accounting the following September
The final hearing on exceptions to the
masters report was held before Judge
Wheeler at the Brooks House last October
49, -, - A"NlOSA, w. n 0IIlliu, n.
7. Washburn and John Mcdonald ap-
peared as counsel for the plaintiff, and
Edmund Wetmore and John R. Wetmore
for the defendant city OF New York.
The claim OF the plaintiffs in this suit
was for Sl3, 100000 damages. The master,
John A. Shields, placed the damages at
only S2S,336. This sum represented what
he considered to have been the saving to
the city in repairs Of its engines. Judge
Wheeler, in fixing the damages at SSlS. O74. %
81, took into the account the saving in hose
and in the number OF men required to work
the engines
The case may 90 now TO the appellate
court of the second circuit and perhaps to
the supreme court of the United States.

THE MURRAY CLUB
Closes the season with Il Calendar sup
per---Mr. Maxwell on Prof. Henry
Drumnoud.

The las, tor this season IN q series of
successful meetings by the Murray club
was held in the parors of the Universal
isl church Wednesday evening with an at
tendance OF over 100 one of the ..spe-
ciaties' of the meeting was a calendar
supper. which was well patronized Four
Oountifully laden tables were spread 10
represent the seasons OF the year. each ia
bic being decorated with the flowers appro-
pirate 10 its season. and the winter" table
being supplied with ice. A well-arranged
program was begun a : O'Clock, consisting
of vocal music by Miss Thomas. MI. Bra
sor and Miss Kate O'Connor, cornet mu,
sic by Nj Morse and Mr.. Hackley and
paper on the late Prof Henry Drummond
by Rev. Mr. Maxwell
In his address on the late Prof. Henry
Drummoud, Nj. Maxwell said. aside
from the simplicity, sweetness and spirit
uality Of his character, the influence Of
Prof Drummond will long be- felt in theo-
logical ana scientific circles. His mission
was 10 make the workers in these suppos-
eddy antagonistic fields better acquainted.
TO make them see the facts and principles
which they accepted in common. and 10
persuade men that the noblest religion
must be scientific. and the truest science
must be religious In his Natural Law
in the Spiritual World he sought TO dem
onstrate that the same laws which operate
in the material universe control the deye-
opment OF life in the world of spirit. In
after years he became convinced that this
thesis was not as strong as the enthusiasm
OF his earlier studies led him TO believe.
and we are told that ne would gladly have
amended many OF its implications and
teachings. When he wrote The Ascent
OF Man he was filled with the same con
sciousness as when he gave that famous
address, The Greatest thing in the World"
The common theme is love.
The essay IS simply short commentary on
the 10TH chapter OF lst Corinthians. Ii seeks
to show that there is a natural, rational
sanction FOR the highest, altruistic prn-
clples OF religion; that Jesus's great doc
trine OF self-renunciation and self-sacrihce
is wrought into the very constitution of
every variety Of life, that in the lowest
forms the beginning of Christian ethics is
observable; that the ethico-religious life
is not an unrelated phenomenon living
above the vegetable. the animal, and the
intellectual, but that its roots run down
into the lowest orders of existence.
When Mr.. Darwin enunciated his prin-
ciple Of THE struggle for life" he saw
only part of the truth; the complement
tary fact of the struggle for the life of 9th
ers must be recognized before the history
OF creation can be intelligently understood.
Prof. Drummond's intimate friend, DR..
John Watson, says, "Henry Drummond
was the most perfect Christian / have
known or expect to see this side the grave"
Therefore he is a safe and faithful man to
study, especially for the intellectually
timid. His presentation of the theory OF
evolution must strengthen ones faith in
God and righteousness.

D. J.. Prescott's Brook road sawmill.
with barn and shed attached, was entirely
destroyed by fire early this morning with
all the contents. These included 10000
feet of lumber, mostly finished. the mill
machinery, wagons harness, and two
horses, three cows, and two hogs in the
barn and shed. The total loss is placed
at $4,000. There is small doubt that the
fire was of incendiary origin. 1t was dis
covered between 1870 and O'clock by
Mrs. Prescott who was awakened by the
reflection of the light upon the chamber
windows. Mr. Prescott sent his son TO
the engine house TO give the alarm. bu.
while be was gone George Barker went to
station 46 al the corner of Birge and Estey
streets and pulled I'm an alarm Steamer
No 4. hose company No. .. and the hook
and ladder company responded and the en-
CINE was set near the brook above the mill
in l. minutes from the sounding of the
alarm The fire had made such rapid
progress that the mill was beyond saving.
The Estey steamer was called, however,
and attention was directed 10 the saving
of the surrounding lumber piles.
As soon as the fire was discovered Mr..
Prescott went through the mill. underneath
burning timbers, TO the barn in the rear
and attempted to release his stock but
was obliged to abandon them in order TO
escape being burned himself He next re-
moved his household furniture to safe
distance, which was all that could be done.
just where the fire started could not be
ascertained, as it had made so great prog
ress when discovered The mill was run
entirely by water power and the chores
were all done before dark. so that no fire
had been carried into the mill.
Mr. Prescott bought the mill of the l.
tey Organ company in August 1905, be
fore which time he was a partner in the
business The main mill was about IS BY
$50 feet and was used for saving, match
ing and finishing plain lumber, furnishing
employment for five or six men. As be
fore stated there were about $4,000 feet of
lumber 10 The mill besides the saving,
matching and planning machinery. About
200 900 feet OF mostly rough boards were
piled near the mill. which were badly dam
aged by fre and water. The stock barn
was about 30 feet square and was on the
east wing Of the mill. and the wagon shed
was about 30 feet wide and $50 feet long
