The Supreme Courts Opinion.

The text Of the supreme courts
opinion ordering new trial in the
case of NJ. Lou Helm VS.. W. Fl. Vols,
the suit over possession Of the prop
erty now occupied by W. B. Vols on
South Washington avenue, is as fol-
lows. The opinion was fully con-
Cured in by all the supreme court
judges:
"The record shows that the plain
tiff in error has had no opportunity to
have her rights 10 the property in
controversy determined by the court.
When the case was called for trial her
counsel was refused time in which to
make showing for continuance.
There is nothing indicating that the
application was made in bad faith
The proof on the motion for a new
trial shows That the plaintiff intended
to be present at the trial, and that
her failure 10 attend was due t0 the
miscarriage Of letter written by her
attorney. Parties to law suits have a
right to Use the maiIS and TO re = on
them to some extent. No good reason
is apparent why the plaintiff should
not have been afforded an opportunity
to try her case, which she seemed to
be prosecuting in good faith. for when
notified of its dismissal she went from
Manhattan to Wellington and
promptly moved to set aside the
order of dismissal and for a new trial.
The Judgment Of the district court
diSmiSsing the plaintiffs cause of
action and quieting the Defendants

remanded with directions to graGt

has been previously stated, in response to
numerous urgent requests. The same
schedule win be used as on Sundays, icav-

This will give all those who wish to
make the trip a chance to enjoy the

due crowding of the steamer, as might
be the case if only Sunday trips were
made. The fishing and grabbing at the
Point is unsurpassed anywhere on the
Potomac, and the bathing beach tsalt

delight in this sport and do not care 10
go so far down the river as the other
resorts where salt water is found. As TO
the dinners, on che steamer is cafe,
first-class in every particular, In which
the best of dinners are served. Also,
there is good hotel accommodations on the
grounds The entire trip affords a sail
on the river of 110 miles. One feature
about which too much cannot be said, is
the breezes. Now that the days are at
their hottest, and a breath of fresh air
here in the city is welcomed with delight,
a trip of this sort, where one is sure OF
twelve hours of continuous cool, bracing
breeZes, is enough, alone, to attract
