JURYS AWARD STANDS.
Appellate Court Holds That Finding In Case Of
Rose vs.. Mitchell Is Proper.

Though the defendant in the case of
Gideon +. Rose VS.. Sebra A. Mitchell
advanced a dozen grounds for a new
trial, the appellate court holds that the
award of $1,000 made by a jury shall
stand and that there was no error
either in the action Of presiding justice
or the jury. The case was tried in
Newport. Plaintiff sued TO recover
$4,000 for the alienation OF the affections
OF his wife, Lydia Nj. Rose. All the
parties interested in the suit live on
Block Island.
The opinion OF the court on the first
point. that the verdict was against the
evidence is that the record does not
sustain the contention. The plaintiff 5
wife left him." the court says. April J,
1890, and the claim is that there is no
testimony TO show that the defendant
had done anything whatever before
that time to cause the separation. 1t is
true there is no testimony of intimacy
before that date, but the facts which
appear in evidence on that date and
afterwards are of such a character as
naturally TO raise the inference that
an intimacy must have existed. 1t is
not 10 be expected that it would be pub
lie. or, in most cases capable of proof
as IL progressed. The change of af-
lection from a husband to another man
needs time and growth. 1t would be
hard to tell at what date IL was brought
about: but when II is shown from the
acts of the parties, il may be inferred
that ii has been previously in progress.
The testimony was sufficient to warrant
the verdict"

BILL OF SALE OR iiORTGsGE.


The question Of whether or not cer-
tain conveyance made Thomas II. Ly-
man of the furniture and other prop
erty in the Eloise on april 1, 1898. was
a bin of sale, as it claimed to be, or
a personal property mortgage the
main point at issue in the hearing by
the appellate court today on the re-
spondent's demurrer in the bill in
equity filed by Thomas +. j. McDon-
nell, trustee in bankruptcy OF Thomas
II. Lyman, against Eliza 7. Paine. The
respondent in his demurrer urged two
grounds. First that there was moth
ing shown in complainant's bill calling
for the interference OF the court; sec
ond. that the conveyance which was
rent, was no such preference as would
make it liable to be set aside under the
United States bankruptcy law.
Mr.. Lyman on Nov. /, lS9S filed a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy in
the United States court. on Nov. 10
he was adjudged bankrupt. 1t was
urged that il would be against public
policy 10 set aside a conveyance made
seven months before the petitioner. Ly-
man, asked to be declared bankrupt
and three months before the passage

Brown, Of counsel for the respondent,
said that the bankrupt law could have
no retractive effect, that the convey
ance claimed 10 be preference must
be one of recent date and that If the
conveyance complained Of would have
been good under the state insolvency
law IL is good now
Lewis A. Waterman, solicitor for the
complainant, argued that the first
ground OF demurrer was a general one
and should be dismissed under the rule
Of the court requiring demurrers TO be
specific. AS to the second point, coun-
sci said he did not claim IL was pref
erence but really a mortgage and not
a bill OF sale and would not have been
good under the state insolvency law
and was not good under the United
States insolvency.
Charles A. Wilson argued that the
conveyance could not in any way be
held to come under the National bank
rupt law.
The case was held for advisement.

Havana, April THE National Gu

tinue their campaigns for the forma tion
OF the party OF Cuban independence.
Efforts are now being made TO effect
consolidation OF the two movements.
The principal difference between them
seems to be that one wishes ward repre-

upon three delegates for each ward with

The committee Of the national party had
the question of consolidation under con-
sideration last night. but decided that II
had no authority 10 act independently.

will then proceed upon the same lines

ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST.
Picture Will Be Shown by BiogTaph
at Ke his Next Week.
The Regiment viii Be Seen as II Appeared
on Arrival al Fox Point.

The taking OF biograph motion pic
lures in connection with the return OF
the First Rhode Island regiment last
Saturday has aroused a great deal OF
local interest. and the announcement
that one OF them will be shown next
week will be received with general sat-
isfaction.
1t is not known. however, what a
narrow escape there was from absolute
failure with the pictures. In taking
biograph pictures, not only must every
condition of atmosphere. light and posi-
tion be very nearly perfect, but the ex-
tremely sensitive films must be abso-
lutely so, and only their development
after exposure in the camera can show
whether they are or not The difficult
ties surrounding the. taking of motion
pictures are also increased by the fact
that, while in taking still life pictures
delays and postponements may be made
to secure favorable conditions, this is
of course impossible in motion photo
graphy, where the purpose is to catch a
picture of motion and life. which prob
ably. as in the case of the return of the
regiment, cannot be duplicated again,
and which must be taken at a given
moment or not at all
IL, in such a case, the conditions be
unfaVorable at the given moment, or IL
they become so after the camera has
been set in operation, of course the pic
ture is lost and if the film prove to
have been defective all the labor and
expense, amounting TO from $75 to 800
for single picture, have been thrown
away.
When the films sent to New York
from Providence for development were
first tested. ii was believed that they
We're defective and that no satisfactory
pictures could be reproduced from
them. Naturally, there was wailing
and gnashing of teeth among those in
terested and who were let into the Sc
cret, especially Us last Saturday was an
ideal day and all the conditions were
unusually favorable for the work; but
the sadness was turned unexpectedly to
JOY when a dispatch was received late
yesterday afternoon, stating that the
picture showing the arrival of the regi-
ment at Fox Point, on the steamer
Rhode Island. last Saturday morning
would be sent on in time for eXhibi-
ton at Keith's during the coming week
No information regarding the fate of
the other pictures was received: but IL
is hoped that the results with them may
prove To have been equally fortunate.
