CONTEMPT OF COURT.
(cchtmued from Po0e One

affirming the judgment OF the court
below.
rhis cnse was nm appeal from the
Seventh Judicial district from iudt-
meet rendered in iAvOf Of Mr.. jordan,
the question involved being whether
OF not the fiDdingn lof fact tupp ortedlthe
conclusions Oi law end the judgment.
Jordan brought suit HgaiBet the city
OF Mount Pleasant to recover dBmsRes
upon ten different osuses ofaclion, the
flIst oil which accrued Ito himself and
the others to nine d Il rent parties.
The western p1tilo Of Mou at Pleas
ant Ia supplied with wattr from
Pleasant creek, stream OF water
rising In the mountains east Of the
city. 10 prevent an overflow from
the banks the city constructed barriers
and mpfe several ditehes. In May,

IONS property, for which damages
were asked LOT In the sum Of $685..

from this judgment was taken by the
city, O number OF errors being assigned.

the face of pending imminent danger
OF destruction and disaster, from the APP
proach Of food, or from the spread
VI FIRE, has tho right to prevent
such cslsmitiee, even nj the sacrihce
OF private property. The Supreme
court holds that the construction o!
the barriers cannot be 80 Justified, but
that more adequate meansshould have
been adopted TO have prevented the
damage complained Of.
From the Tact that the city authori.
ties cut bitches through the ridges,
alter constructing the barriers, the
court finds that 1t contemplated an
overflow. The court does not dispute
the right OF city to prevent injurious
consciousness from loods, but ssys II
10 also duty devolviug upon 1t, to use
all II asonAble means and precautions
10 not cause the destruction or Injury
to private property, or II necessary II
might resort to the right OF eminent
domain.
AZ 10 the contention that the injury
wss caused by surface water, the cour;
finds that the water had collected In
the creek and therefore could not be
regarded as such.
The Judgment Of the lower court 10
then affirmed.

Justice u ine aud concurred In by Jut-
tices Bartch and Miner.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE II. NJ. S.
MIoWERA.
Sailor Swept From the Forecastle
Head in Gale of Wind that Threat
ened the Ship with Destruction.

The X. NJ. S. Miowera had another
close call from laundering at sea on
her present voyage. Only the great
staunchness of her frame and the skill
of Captain Free saved her from deep
sea grave. The experience cost one
poor sailor his life, and others were
Injured, but none seriously, by the
huge seas that swept her deck.
The Miowera got into port on Christ
nshs eve, looking none the worse for
wear, despite her terrible experience.
Itjwas fight against wind and wave
all the way across, but she battled
so successfully that she was but few
hours late. The officers were very re-
ticent about the passage, but the pas
sengers were willing enough to talk,
and from them the story was gained.
All spoke in the highest terms of Cap
tain Free and his officers, who never
faltered in their duty, even though
the doom of the good ship and her hu-
man freight seemed to settled.
The great blow occurred on The
way from Sydney to Wellington. The
Miowera sailed from Sydney at sis
p. IN. on the 9th inst. and that same
Gdu iHto d ttlIID1t
gale, that lasted for four days. When
it blows in that part of the Pacific, 1t
is no gentle zephyr. High, angry cross
seas broke over the ship continually.
For two days the Miowera was hove
to, and there were hours during that
period that it was believed by all on
board that the vessel could not out
ride the gale. Nearly all of the pas
sengers were confined to their cabins,
and the ships company found the
greatest difficulty in attending them.
1t was on the second night that the
fatality occurred. A monster sea
broke over the ship, and swept one
of the sailors from the forecastle head
throwing him to the lower deck, and
injuring him so cruelty that he died
four hours later. Other sailors were
threwn down and injured by this sea
but none seriously. 1t was q terrible
night, and if the Miowera were not a
coed sea boat she could never have
-~y..,atood the battering she received
was buried at sea on the following
day.
The Miowera was five days in get
ting to Wellington, and had heavy
weather all the, way. Five hours ar
ter reaching port she put to sea once
more, and experienced strong easter
ly and northeasterly winds to Suva
From there to the line the weather
was fine, but after crossing the line
strong headwinds were experienced
all the way to port.
In order to reach Vancouver on time
to forward the English mails, the Mi.
owera did not remain long in mort
here, working coal all night and sail.
