Court Decides That II Was lllegai-A
Swan Point Case.

The opinion Of the Appellate Court
i'm the case of Seraphine A. Gardner vs.
Swan Point cemetery ct. al. was filed
yesterday afternoon. The case was
concerning the removal Of the body OF
the late Oscar Wheeler of Cranston, 1t
being claimed that Laura Wheeler, who
caused the removal, had no right to SO
do and the court sustains the complain
ants contention.
According to the averments of the
bill. Jonathan M. Wheeler, late, or
Cranston, gave by will to the respond
ent, Laura Wheeler. all the residue OF
his estate, real and personal, part OF
which was his burial lot I'm Swan Point
cemetery. His mother, Barbara
Wheeler. a son by his former mar
riage, Oscar Wheeler, his FIRST wife and
others were buried in the front part OF
the lot and he was also buried there.
in n place reserved for himself, and
these dispositions were made by his
express direction. A contest of the will
by the complainant resulted In the
withdrawal of opposition upon the ex-
ecution of a deed OF the burial lot by
Laura Wheeler to the cemetery cor
poratlon In trust for a place of inter-
ment for me. the grantor. and for me
only, i'm addition to those already bur-
led therein, and subject during my
lifetime to my visiting and remaining
on said ground during all reasonable
hours" After this, at the request Of
Laura Wheeler the corporation caused
the body of the son, Oscar. to be re-
moved from the place where 1t had
lain since 1864. and the space to be
marked place reserved for Laura. wife
of j. M. Wheeler" The complainant
has requested the corporation to re-
turn the body to the place from which
it was removed, which request has been
refused.
The court after long review of the
| law says, "In reserving the right to be
| buried in the lot and nothing more. II
could only mean In a vacant part OF the
| lot" and the decision reached that
ton had any authority to remove the
body OF oscar Wheeler. Demurrer

RHODE ISLAND YACHT CLUB
Started on Annual Cruise With
Fewer Boats Than Usual.
TODAY'S RUN MADE TO NEWPORT

The, annual cruise OF the Rhode Island
Yacht Club commenced yesterday, and
the number OF boats was the smallest
in the history of the club. This, how
ever. did not effect the general enthu-
siasm, and the run was fully as excit-
ing as any of those during former
cruises, while the weather Was admir-
ably suited to satisfy the desires of the
yachtsmen. There Is no doubt, how
ever, that every day will see more
boats added to the fleet, and that be-
fore the end OF the cruise they will be
nearly all in line.
According 10 custom yesterdays run
was converted into races between boats
in the same class. prizes being offered
by the fleet officers, Commodore Jenckes
being the donor for yesterdays events.
The prizes yesterday were taken py
the Annie in the 36-footer class, and the
Metacom In the 30-footers. Ii was lo:5o
O'Clock when Commodore Jenckes gave
the signal to start for Wexford, ana
there was no delay in getting away,
under very favorable auspices.
In the 36-footer class were the Ram
allah, owned by A. Homer Skinner or
Fall River; the Annie, ex-Mayor FRANK
+. Olney's fast slQop, and the Falcon,
owned by Pierce of Providence. The
3O-footens were led by r. III. !. Goddard.
Jr's, Metacom. f. u. Fields Queenie'
DIR. A. M. Potter's Nymphia and T.. {.
Myrick's Nelma. The Tartar. owned
by M. A. T. Scattergood, the Gladys,
owned by Henry Pearce, Jr.; the nag
ship Millie. Rear Commodore Banigan'
naphtha launch Endelyon, Mayor
Bakers yawl Yebes and the naphtha
launch Oneto, are also with the fleet.
There was quite an exciting brush
between the Annie and the Ramallah,
and the latter named boat was lead
ing, with everything drawing taut on
| the beat to windward. when the lace line
| Of the Ramallah broke and the mainsail
| began to edge away. In few minutes
the sail was lowered. the line made
| fast and the advantage gained by the
| Annie was soon made up. A short tim.
| afterward the lace line again parted
| and this necessltated the bending In oil
| a new line. This gave the Annie her
| own way and she crossed the line al
1:27, FIVE minutes ahead Of the Ramal-
| lah About Is minutes later the Met
aeon came in. leading the second d.
| vision. The times were as follows:
