the plaintiff claims a team owned by
defendants stood on Douglas avenue
in front OF "a liquor saloon. That a
beer keg exploded in the wagon and
some one called the attention OF the
driver 10 this fact. and that he got
very much excited and jumping up on
the wagon began throwing kegs out In
a most reckless manner. Pietro came
across from his home on the opposite
side of the street and one or the kegs
struck him on the side OF the head, cut
ting him severely. The plaintiff claims
that he was in the exercise of due care
at the time. that is, minding his own
business, and interfering in no way
with the removal of the kegs"
The injuries claimed by the plaintiff
are of a very serious nature. His par

was struck by the keg he was re-

GERMANY ENTERS PROTEST.
Continued from Page One.)
Strongly 0iss s1pruved.

Berlin. April 24--It is announced in
semi -offiCial note today that the l.. >.
Secretary of State, Col John Hay has
expressed to the German ambassador at
Washington, DR.. Won Hollebein, his
strong disapproval of the conduct OF
Captain Joseph h. Coghian OF the
United States cruiser Raleigh.
The dlsapproval expressed at Wash
ington. announced i'm the dispatches
from Berlin with the conduct OF Cap
tain Coghlan refers undoubtedly to his
utterances on Friday night at the
Union League club, New York. in
which he referred to the strained rela.
tions which existed at Manila between
Admiral Dewey and Admiral Won Die
derichs, the commander OF the German
naval forces in the far east, who has
since been superseded by Prince Henry
OF Prussia.
1t is said that Capt Coghlans casd
is not similar To that of the Spanish
cant Conchas, whose utterances it
Madrid Just before the war in severe
criticism of the United States, caused
the state department to lodge formal
protest through United States Minister
Hannis Taylor. Capt. COghlan's utter.
ances were embodied in lecture de-
livered before the Spanish Geographical
Society, and were public in the full
sense Of the term. Secretary Hay in
his reply to the German ambassador.
has undoubtedly made note of the diff
ference between the cases on this par
ticular point and IL may be very inn
portant difference for Capt. Coghlan.
The state departments position is thar
club is simply the home of a number
Of gentlemen and so cannot be consid-
cred a public affair.
But this view does not relieve Cap
tain Coghlan from responsibility to his
brother officers, for conduct which Is
alleged 10 be detrimental TO the navy,
though relieved from accountability 10
the state department directly by Sec
retary Hays attitude. The navy de-
partment, as the secretary has indicat-
ed. must deal with the case. Captain
Coghlan can be called To account on
several charges presuming that he has
been correctly reported and that he adj
mits the uttersnccs. As in Commo-
dorc Meades case. II he stands mute
and the newspaper men refuse TO tes-
tify. the navy department can proceed
no further. The charges which would
most probably be brought against Cap
tain Coghlan Nm case the affair pro-
crossed 10 court martial would be
conduct 10 the prejudice OF good order
and discipline. and conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman.

NO ERROR IN RULING.
Nousuli In Case Of McCaifey Against The Bsrslow
Thread Compsny.

John III. McCaffery, administrator Of
the estate of Francis j. McCaffery, who
met his death by scalding i'm a vat
used for the dyeing OF yarn In Janu-
airy. 1897. can not have a new trial Of
his suit against the Barstow Thread
company. In the common pleas di-
vision OF the supreme court the Justice
before WHOM the case came for trial
granted L. non-suit ON defendants mo-
ton. The appellate court says the
Judge OF the lower division was right.
The opinion tiied in the case Is as
follows:
THE testimony fails to show that
the steam valve was defective. as IL is
alleged was the foct. The plaintiff
produced the testimony OF the watch
man that he had shut the valve more
than an hour prior 60 the accident, left
it to be inferred that the valve was
defective because OF the presence Of
sufficient steam I'm the kiln 60 cause
the accident. The testimony OF the eN-
pert. TruCSdalc. however shows that
the valve might have been almost shut
and that 10y opening it and shutting IT
"a second time IL would shut tight or
that II might bc hltchvd up a little
when 10 was supposed to be shut
This shows that the presence Of
steam In the kiln was not necessarily
due 10 a defect I'm the valve, and there
fore it was incumbent on the plaintiff
10 have adductd evidence % show the
defect. ana not To have left it 10 be in
fcrred merely from the presence OF the
steam. our opinion IN, therefore. that
the negligence of the defendant was
not proved and that the non-suit was
properly granted.

SALE SET ASIDE.

Judge Douglas today handed down
the decision OF the appellate court In
the case of Anthony Fenley of Provi-
dence vs. William II. Cassidy Of Web
ster Mass. The complainant sought to
have a sale OF certain mOrtgaged prem
ises in Burrillvilc set aside on account
OF fraud and other things. While the
court does not believe the charge OF
fraud justified IL does not think the
evidence shows any clear demand for
the payment of the mortgage debt six
months before the advertisement for
sale. The sale u therefore set aside.
In concluding the opinion Judge
Douglas says: "Our conclusion is that
the sale must be set aside and the COM
plainant allowed 20 redeem. IN csti-
mating the amount TO be paid the
inortgagor should be charged the
amount Of the note and interest. and
