Gets Damages for Malicious Prosecution

In the circuit court at Memphis last
week D. A. Suther was given judgment
for s1,25O against the Equitable Insur-
ance Company of Nashville. Suther
sued for $4,000 damages, claimed to be
due from malicious prosecution. Dur
ing the summer of 1898 the house of
Suther was destroyed by fire. The
insurance company suspected the fire
was of incendiary origin, and employed
a detective to work up the mater. As
a result proceedings for arson were en-
tered against Suther. He had no
trouble in establishing his innocence
and instituted suit for damages with
the above result.

when Mr.. Bromwell, a moment later,
declared that he wished to offer mo-

cheer upon cheer.
/ The republican side was ominously
silent. The speaker sternly command

well that his motion could not be en-
tertained until that of Mr.. Dingley had
been disposed of.
Mr.. Bailey, under cover of making a
parliamentary inquiry, brought out
clearly the fact that unless the motion
| of Mr.. Dingley was voted down, the
| house could not vote on the motion to
concur, CT which Mr.. Bromwell had
given notice.
Mr.. Sulzar dem, N. " attempted
to interpose with the point of order
that Mr.. Bromwell's motion take pre-
cedence over that of Mr.. Dingley's. He
| had a copy of the rules in his hand,
and was prepared to argue the ques-
tion, but the speaker unceremoniousIy
declined to hear him. No division was
asked on the motion for the previous
question, but upon the main question a
chorus of demands from both sides
went up for the ayes and noes.
The roll-call was watched with in.
tense interest. The democrats started
in to applaude every republican who
voted No, but the promised detection
of over twenty-five members on the re.
publican side did not materialize. The
democrats only had IA opportunities tc
applaud. 1t was apparent before the

The apology to the house was made
through Mr.. Sherman, who stated that
the matter had been adjusted satisfac-
tOrily to both gentlemen, and that
both had apologized. This honorable
settlement of the difficulty, which had
been the subject of comment among
the members for several days, was re.

chamber became the scene of many
animated conferences. The leader O.
| the democrats, populistS and silver re-
publicans got together, and immediate
ly the word was passed around to non
concur in the house amendment anc
not to agree to a conference, thus
throwing the responsibility for delay
on the house.
1t was whispered that some of the
republican senators, who had original.
ly voted to insert the Turpie amend
ment, would no longer stand by it.
On receipt of the senate resolutions
from the house, at 2:53 p. M, Mr..
Chandler suggested the absence of a
tendance to consider the Cuban resolu-
tions.
Seventy-five senators answered to
their names on roll-call.
On motion of Mr.. Davis the Cuban
resolutions were laid before the senate.
Mr.. Davis moved concurrence and
urged the senate to agree to house ac-
tion and avoid delay.
Mr.. Davis motion was antagonized,
Mr.. Stewart New opening for the op-
position.
At 3:1O p. m. the vote was taken on
the Davis motion to concur in the house
amendment. The motion was defeat
ed, and the senate, without division,
refused to concur. Yeas, 81; nays, 46.
Ten republicans voted no.
The senate then sent the resolutions
back to the house, motion for con-
ference committee, by Mr.. Hale, being

no attempts to force consideration for a
resolution regarding the Cuban situation in
the house today there was brief outbreak
in the course of which the warlike temper Of
the crowded galleries was so manifest that
speaker Reed threatened to clear them If 1t

The outbreak occurred over a bill to author

when the written consent of the owner was
obtained without awaiting the long process
Of legal condemnation.
This led to demand by Mr.. Bailey, the
Democratic leader, for information as TO the
facts that warranted all these war measures.
The particular statement which aroused the
galleries was to the effect that while the
Democrats were willing to wait any reasc n
able time for the president to transmit mes

American people they would not wait a
minute for him to continue negotiations With

Ives started off in the better shape,
and for eighty-two innings he held the
lead with ease. Then Jake took a brace

had good luck with position shots and
made a good average, counting in
thirteen out of fifteen innings. He
closed the afternoon series with two in

The best shots Of the afternoon were
