beaten AGAIN,
Judge Rogers Decides That He
Must Pay Mrs. Young $4,000
Balance onSaIe Of Property.

paid down, and the amount Of the mort
cages whatever they were, whether
$l5, 900 or less. Although the deed from
the plaintiff to the defendant contains
the words, this conveyance is made
subject to two mortgages to the, amount
of fifteen thousand dollars, $500. yet
the defendant does not agree to assume
said mortgages. and there is nothing
IN the deed to clearly show the exact
the consideration ex-
pressed being 500 merely. But while
the consideration may not be clearly
shown on the face of the deed, yet tiIe
face Of the deed does show that the
defendant must have expected TO pay
$3.50 above the amount paid in cash
down, for the deed was warranty
deed and was made subject to the in
cumbrances of $4,000, and had there
been $4,000 membranes upon the
property it is not denied but that the
defendant expected TO pay that amount.
The evidence satisfies me that the
agreement was that the plaintim was
to get SIS, 500 FOR her estate; that as the
defendant was interested in seeing the
membranes on the purchased estate
paid off he was Obliged to pay them,
and as the mortgages had not been as
sumed by the defendant purchaser, the
plaintiff was also Interested in having
the mortgage obligations of herself and
her husband paid, and so, If $4,000 OF
mortgage obligations had existed and
had been paid off by the defendant.
the plaintiff would have had $ls,5O0 OF
value received as her consideration Tor
the deed, viz, $3500 cash, and relief from
$4,000 worth of obligation. But $4,000
due en- note to the plaintiffs grantor
was not secured by mortgage, as sup
posed by the plaintiff, and hence as the
defendant will not be obliged to pay
that $4,000 to clear his title. he Is no less
under the obligation to pay 1t to the
plaintiff. so that she may have the BEN
eft of the full consideration agreed,
viz, s1S,500 of value received. the only
difference it makes to the defendant
that he pays the plaintiff the $4,000 in
stead of MORTGAGE. had the $4,000 note
also been secured by mortgage.
THE finding and decision of the court
Is that the defendant did promise in
manner and form as the plaintin hath
declared against him, and that the
plaintiff is entitled to Judgment against
the defendant for the sum OF $3t65, be-
ing said sum of $4,000 with interest from
December IS, 1895, and costs"

WITZKE GETS
DIAMONDS
Court Decides Replevin
Case in His Favor.
SILVER FOR MISS BURNS.
She Sought TO Obtain Both Jewels
and Silver but Failed. +
OPINION OF JUDGE ROGERS.
OPINION OF JUDGE ROGERS.

The more or less bitter controversies
that have existed for a long time be-
tween William Witzke, the keeper OF a
Cumberland road house and his for
mer housekeeper. Addie b. Burns, are
brought to notice again by the decision
of Judge Rogers in the replevin suit
brought by Miss Burns to recover two
diamonds OF the first water, lot of sill
verware. a dozen teaspoons. dozen
tablespoons and dozen knives and
forks.
The defendant claimed the property
was his own and that the largest dia-
mond was set in ring of gentleman's
size and fitted him having been set at
great expense as a gift to him. Miss
Burns retorted that she only allowed
Mr.. Witzke to wear the ring; that she
never gave 1t to him. There was some
interesting testimony at the trial about
this ring
The decision of the court is that at
the time OF the commencement Of this
suit the property in the diamonds de-
scribed in the plaintiffs writ was in
the defendant and not in the plaintiff,
and that the defendant as to said dia-
monds is entitled to judgment with 10
cents damages and a return and resto-
ration OF said diamonds. and that the
plaintiff is entitled to the silverware.

Washington, July 21-The authorl-
tative declaration was made today that
the island of Porto Rico is to be held
as permanent possession of this coun-
try as the price of the war. The sub
Joined practically official statementwas
made to the Associated Press today:
Porto Rico will be kept by the United
States. That is settled and has been
the plan from the first. Once taken 1t
will never be released. 1t will pass for
ever into the hands OF the United States
and there never has been any other
thought. It's possession will go toward
making up the heavy expense of war
to the United States. Our flag viii
float over the island permanently.
The same author says the future OF
the Philippines is matter of develop
ment and that so far there is no GER
tain policy finally adopted regarding
these islands. They are subject to de-
velopment in the war situation. 1t
was intimated, however. though not
definitely asserted, that the Ladrone
Islands might follow Porto Rico and
become our permanent possession,
being valuable as a coaling station.

ship since they embarked at Newport
News, most of the time lying of San
tiago,, i'm sight of shore. but unable to
land. They arrived just before the sur
render of Santiago and 1t having been
decided to use them in the Porto Rican
expedition, the troops were kept on
board ship to prevent exposure to yell
low fever. If Gen. Miles gets away to-
day he may still reach the base Sc
lected for operations at Porto Rico be-
fore the other sections of his expedi-

General Emory Smith said today that
the United States domestic postal SER

Washington agrees TO this. and will do
everything possible. SO the cable dis

away from here. But there is a lack
of transports.
In addition to the Porto Rico troops,
which will need 40 steamers for their
conveyance, the authorities here are,
still counting upon having to convoy
the $4,000 Spanish prisoners to Cadiz.
The latter want to go as soon as pos
sble. and 1t appears that our govern

holds the Fifth Corps here, doing moth

also incensed at the fact that he was

Another of his grievances Is the ac-
