A NOVEL LAW POINT.
Cemetery Trustees Sued for Mixing
Remains of the Dead

Columbus, Ohio Oct. ia most pecu-
liar case involving new and interesting
law questions, was argued in the supreme
court Of Ohio yesterday. The GAINESVILLE
Cemetery trustees removed the remains
of James Carter so carelessly that they
became mixed with other remains and
could not be identified and separated from
them.
Suit was brought by his administrators
for SIS 900 damages. The questions pre-
sented TO the court were: Do next of kin
have a property right in the remains OF
a person, and, if SO, does it continue until
the dust loses its identity, and are one S
remains a part of his estate TO be admins
tered upon, or should suit be brought in
the name of his heirs?

CHINESE MINT MACHINERY
A Shipment From This Country Is
Damaged by Neglect

Consul General Goodnow, at Shanghai,
informs the State Department that ma
chinery for a mint at Chengtu with a
capacity of 5000 dollars and 1900 smaller
coins per hour, has been set up and test
ed The machinery for the mint was de-
livered by machine company of Bridg-
ton, \. j., at Lchang, the head of navi-
cation of the Yangtse River, where it
was taken in charge by the Chinese au-
thorities.
1t subsequent treatment was character
istic. The boxes containing the machin-
cry were left on the bank OF the river
for month and a slight food filled them
with mud. In this condition they were
taken TO Chengter, being two monuths on
the way. When the boxes We're opened
the dies were so badly rusted that they
would be condemned in an American
mint. The Chinese, however, made no
objections 10 the imperfect places in the
coins. apparently thinking them addi-
tional safeguards against counterfeiting
Some parts of the machinery were en-
tirely ruined and others were so badly
rusted that they cannot last long

The market was dead and unattractive
Tor the short session this morning. Aside
from the regular manipuiative buying
and selling in Tobacco and Sugar there
was almost no business. The little trading
In the remainder of the market had no
effect either way and cannot be said TO
have been indicative of anything. The
week ends in disappointment for the peo-
pie who expected on Wednesday and
Thursday that there would be a good
rally. Prices are not any better than
they were last Saturday. On the whole
the preponderance of sentiment is that
prices will be a trifie lower around the
end of the month and election time.

TO AVERT WAR.
Foreign ambassadors and Ministers
20 Tender Good Offices.

WASHINGTON, April Cit was
! learned from q reliable diplomatic
source to-day that the ambassadors
and Ministers of the great Powers Of
Europe stationed in Washington. and
representing Germany. AUSTRIA Great
Britain, France and Italy, at a meeting
held at the British Embassy at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, agreed
upon the substantial terms of a joint
note. tnedering the good offices of the
Powers to avert war between The
United States and Spain So far as
can be learned the note has not been
presented, and it is understood that its
presentation depends upon the serious
ness of the situation as developed
within the next few hours.
On the same reliable authority, it is
stated that the actual text of the note
to some extent was agreed upon, if
indeed the note was not made up in
it's entirety. 1t is said not to contain
the word mediation" but in more dip
lomatic terms and in the most friendly
spirit it suggests the good offices Of
the Powers.
1t is understood also that the main
purpose OF this concerted action is to
defer the war crisis for at least a few
days. during which mature action may
be shaped. This reported action by the
Powers is entirely distinct from such
as Pope Leo may be taking toward the
same general end.
In another highly diplomatic quarter
it was strongly intimated that doubt
existed as to Great Britain acting with
rJ of
peace. even though she sympathized
with the Cuban policy of the United
States. and the choice Of the British
Embassy as the place Of meeting was
evidence of this. These dispatches
stated Yesterday that the British Gov
eminent had made known to the State
Department it's view that the Cuban
conflict should be brought to a close in
the interest of humanity at large. 1t
is explained that there is no conflict be ,
tween the British Governments posi-
ton expressing Willingness to lend ITS
good offices toward securing peace and
it's refusal in any way to press the
United States in the matter.
The course of the ambassadors and
Ministers, as well as their movements,
within the last twentyfour hours have
been surrounded with uncommon meas
ures of caution and secrecy 1t is case
which diplomatists know how to exer-
else with even greater rigor than other
officials. 1t was known last night that
q meeting was held at the British EN-
bassy yesterday afternoon, but all
those participating were SO secretive
after it had occurred that no hint es-
caped as to its purpose beyond the
inference that it concerned the crit
ical condition of Spanish and American
affairs. 1t was not until to-day, how
ever, that it became known to those
having access to the inner diplomatic
circles that the discussion at the En-
bassy took a definite line, and that
the course Of procedure, as we'll
as its form, was not only discussed.
but largely decided upon. of course
any such action could be taken only
as a result of instructions from the
several foreign offices of Europe. and
