A DIsTILLERY IN BELFAST Last week
while in quest of material for the local COL
umns a Journal man came upon a still in
full operation, and met one of our prominent
citizens coming from it, carrying bottle
containing a white fluid that might have
been gin; but which proved to be simply
| pure water-a much rarer article. The still
was in the back part of Poor K Sons drug
store and was distilling water for use in the
| prescription department. The still W con-
structed by George c. Trussell, the ingen-
! ious drug clerk at Poor's, from design in A
druggists paper. 1t is simple arrangement
! but does the work perfectly and the result is
water of absolute purity, such cannot be
obtained by the process OF iterng.
| LAW Court DECISION. Tileston Wadlin,
| Esq, Clerk of Courts, has received the GER
tifcate of opinion in the case of Charles B.
Eaton vs.. Atlas Accident Insurance Co.
| The action was brought to recover on an ac-
! cident insurance policy issued by the de-
/ PENDANT company to the plaintiff. The pol
/ icy was for an indemnity of S25 per week.
but there was margin clause providing
| that If the insured be fatally or otherwise
lnJureu WHue engaged LOT pleasure or recfe-
ation in amateur, bicycling (not racing or
coasting). yachting, fishing or cunning in
demnity will be paid at fifth class rates as
given in the company's latest manual"
Fifth class rates are for 81 800 in case of ac-
cidental death or $12 so weekly indemnity
for non-fatal injuries. Oct %, 1894, the de-
PENDANT was thrown from his bicycle and
received injuries which prevented him from
following his occupation for four weeks.
The case was entered at the April term,
1885, at which time the defendant offered to
be defaulted for S51, which offer was reject
ed by the plaintiff. The case was opened to
the jury at the October term, but was with
drawn and sent to the Law Court on report.
The defense put in the claim at the trial
that the accident occurred on Sunday, hence
the plaintiff was travelling at his own risk.
The rescript, by Judge Strout, is as follows
The accident to plaintiff was within the
marginal clause of policy, and he is entitled
to recover only $12 so per week. Plaintiff
was not in violation of the statute in regard
to Lord day at the time of the accident.
Judgment for plaintiff for $50 and interest
from date of the writ

New York's famous preachers, who made merry

wretched taste, but positively insulting. That
