POOR DEBTORS OATH.
important Review Of KimbsIl Case
Made by Judge Sriness.
Contains SIAny Points That VIII Be
valnsbIe TO Attorneys.

Judge Stiness today filed the opinion
of the Appellate Court on the applica-
tion of Herbert M. Kimball. I'd. for
poor debtors oath. Kimbail was i'm
prisoned on an execution In an action
OF trespass on the case for negligence
on July 22, 1898, and the question in
volved was whether he was entitled TO
the oath under chapter 260 OF the gen.
eral statutes, or whether as poor tort
debtor he could only take IL after six
months, as provided In chapter 26O.
The application for leave to take the
oath was brought before Judge Stiness,
and, considering that the gravity of the
matter demanded ii. he referred it to
the Appellate Division by consent of
parties. Judge Stiness reviews the his
tory Of legislation In regard TO the
granting OF this oath. and then says IL
Is claimed that, as the judgment In this
case is not for debt. there can be no
relief under the poor debtors act, so
called; but that 1t must be under the
poor debtors tort act. AS the cause OF
action in this case is not specified
among the causes of action in the act
relating to poor tort debtory. Ii has
been necessary TO make this review in
order TO see in what actions the de-
fendant was not entitled to his dis
charge when that act was passed.
I'VE find that the construction of the
poor debtors act gave the benefit OF Ii
to all judgment defendants. except
those excluded by the act. and that
these. in addition to those named I'm
the poor tort debtors act, were execu-
tions defendants for malicious injury
TO person. health or reputation. and for
seduction. Hence 1t follows that an
execution defendant for negligence was
not within the poor debtors act when
itfwas passed. Although the chapters
are separate. the evident intent OF in
chding certain actions in the tort law
is to exclude them from the other. 1t
is not the best form of legislation, but
the purpose is clear"
"a few days ago Kimball took the
oath and was discharged from custody.
Herbert Almy was his attorney.

A meeting OF the delegates from the
several councils OF the Irish Catholic
Benevolent union I'm this city was held
at the hall of st. Mary's branch. in the
Anthony block. here last night. The
delegates numbered IS and represented
seven branches. The meeting was for
the purpose of arranging for the ma
tional convention OF the order, which
will be held I'm this city on the 18th
and 10th inst. I'm Knights of Columbus
hall on Cathedral square.
The arrangements which have been
made indicate that the occasion will be
one OF more than ordinary interest.
The attendance of delegates TO this city
Will not be as large, IL Is thought, as
has been the case In former years, as
then the convention has been held in
the western or middle states, where the
order is more fiourishing. The head
quarters are located in Pennsylvania,
although Olneyville enjoys the distinc-
ton OF having two members OF the ma
tional board as residents. These are
Miss Katie German, second vice presi-
dent, and Mr.. John r. Fogarty. one of
the three members of the executive
committee.
The convention will open on Wednes-
day morning. and in the afternoon the
delegates will have a sail down the bay
and a Rhode Island clambake will be
served in the evening at Crescent Park.
Business sessions will occupy the
greater part OF the day on Thursday,
and in the evening there Will be an
event at Knights of Columbus hall.
Friday a trip to Newport is planned.
In addition TO the program as arranged
In a definite form the committee con-
templates a series of trolley rides and
visits TO interesting places around the
city.
A large number of the members of
the Providence Gun club will attend the

CRANSTON.

Rev. Father M. OHare, pastor of st.
AIMS Catholic church. was rendered a
reception last evening by the children
of Mary A pleasant time was the
impression every person present re-
ceived.
The school committee met i'm regular
monthly session last night and did but
little.
Miss Florence Lynn was elected an
assistant teacher in the Cranston school
at IS per week. Prof. Fulton of White
Plains, N. Y, was elected principal of
the commercial department OF the high
school at $1,000 per year. Miss Maria l..
jackson of South Medford. Mass, was
elected as assistant teacher in the COM
merqiaI department of the high school
at $500 per year. Fifty dollars were
votedyfor kindergarten supplies.
Much. OF the time was occupied in
discussing the contemplated change in
the text book in geography. The book
was TO have been changed in July, but
owing TO ignorance OF the law. the
aooption or a new book was necessarily
postponed. Rand McNally's agent was
present and extolled the good quail
les OF the geography he represented.
The work OF adopting a new book was
postponed one month.
Two new text books were adopted for
centrating the upper grades OF the
grammar schools was discussed, or
rather explained. by A. Egbert Reeve.
1t is the plan to take the ninth grades
from the small schools of the town and
pay for their transportation to larger
schools. For example IL is proposed to
pay transportation of pupils In Fiske-
vile and Knightsville to attend the
Cranston school A like method Is sug-
gested to dispose of the graduating
classes in the Oak Lawn school and the
Howard school.
This plan has already met the oppo-
sition Of the parents of the children to
be transferred and the citizens of the
villages from which the transfers are
TO be made. The parents object be-
cause their children will be forced to
eat a cold dinner. ride in cold vehicle
in winter. leave home early and return
late. be away for long period from the
watchful eye of the parents and be
thrown into contact with other girls
and boys free from restraint and under
free and easy conditions.
The citizens generally object because
the plan makessa few schools very. inn
portant and leaves the others second
airy in Importance. In other words the
citizens want to see all schools from the
kindergarten to the high school closely
watched and inteligently supervised
and every grade to the high school
nurtured in every village and watched
as closely as the ninth grade grammar
Is now. The criticism Ia that all talk
has been about the one grade. the ninth
grade grammar, and all others have
been allowed TO grow without notice.
More blackboard surface and two
radiators were voted for the Shaw ave-
nue. school, Edgewood.

Morning-Soveral Convictions.

In the Sixth District Court this morn
ing Caroline Ackland, the aunt Of Vic
toria Corison, whom Agent Thurber
prosecuted for having assaulted her
niece on July 6, was acquitted of the
charge, the prosecution putting in a
rather weak case as regarded dates,
etc. The story was given few days
since I'm The News, and the decision OF
the court was unsatisfactory TO the
great majority of the spectators, al
though IL was based on the evidence
submitted.
John j. Clancy pleaded not guilty to
having assaulted his wife. Mary Clan
cey. and was held for trial Friday In
S200 bonds.

a common night walker, pleaded guilty
this. morning. and was given nine
months at the state workhouse.
John Bennett. an employe OF the Nor
cross Bros establishment on Kingsley
avenue, whom IL was alleged a few
days ago had assaulted Peter Lingo.
another employe. was. when tried to-
day. adjudged probably guilty and held
for the grand jury in the sum Of $500
bonds.
Thomas Mahed was found guilty of
assaulting boy named Lawrence s.
Walker on Earl street, but I'm view OF
the fact that the court thought that
the defendant might have had some
provocation, n light sentence of 81 and
costs was imposed.
The joint cases against Charles s.
Copeland and William Davis, who were
charged by Peter Brucker with evad-
ing payment OF their board bill, were
called for trial, but were continued at
the request OF the defendants to Au-
gust 22, one OF them stating that he
would communicate with relatives in
Europe i'm the meantime i'm an endeavor
TO procure funds to settle the account.
The trial OF John Dowd for an as
sault upon his wife. Mary. next came
up. and being found guilty he was sent
To the Providence county jail for 30
days.
Stanley ID. Reynolds was convicted OF
stealing watch which was the prop
erty OF Dennis clifford on July 22 and
fined $50 and costs. clifford says that
the man Is an ungrateful person whom
he has fed for four years and who
when opportunity offered stole the
watch from his home at 81 Elbow
street. az there did not happen to be
any one at home. He adds that IN
Reynolds had admitted the theft and
given him the pawn ticket upon H. the
