Deeds show That che Property Was
Transferred to Mrs. Dewey and in
Turn to the Admiral's Son Two Days
Before Title was Made to Crawford.
Washington, Nov. 23.--An interest
ing feature in connection with the
three Dewey transfer deeds now ON file
with the recorder Of deeds was noted
yesterday afternoon. The first deed
filed. that by which George Dewey ct
ux transfers the Rhode Island avenue
property to John w. Crawford, al
though dated Nov IA, was not ac-
knowledged before a notary public un-
til the 18th inst.
The second deed, by which Crawford
transferred the property to Mrs. Dew
ey, and the third deed, recorded yes
terday, by which George Dewey and
Mrs. Dewey turn over the title I'd
George g. Dewey, were not, according
to the dates as set forth In the pa
pers, acknowledged the 14th inst. In
other words, it would seem that Craw-
ford transferred the property to Mrs.
Dewey, and the latter In turn to George
@. Dewey, two days before Admiral
Dewey transferred the title to Craw-
ford.
Admiral Dewey is deeply wounded
by the criticism Of his transfer Of the
gift home, and is tempted to 60 abroad.
He talked freely to reporter who
called upon him. and in the course Of
his lengthy explanation spoke Of the
greeting that was given him when he
arrived home. and proceeded:

EON-S!UlT FOR
SPRINGER.
B. & 0. Railroad Wins Suit
to Recover Damages
For the Killing of
Springer.

In the United States Court yesterday
afternoon q non-suit was granted In the
case Of Springer Va. the B. & o. Railroad
Company. At tho conclusion Of the ar
gument yesterday afternoon Judge Brad
ford then handed down decision In the
matter. He said that bis opinion was
that very clearly. no case had been made
out to 60 to jury. but the court had no
power to award . compulsory nonssuit
except tho plaintiff accepted.
The proper procedure then, the Judge
stated, was to have this counsel for defense
to make motion to have the judge in
struct the jury to award verdict for the
defense.
Mr.. Higgins, counsel for the plaintiff
objected TO a compulsory Insult and
MIR. Bird, counsel for the defense, made
a motion requesting the Court to instruct
the jury to bring In a verdict for the de-
fense on the ground Of oontributory ueg-
ligence. .... .......
Judge Bradford. in instructing the jury,
said the Court was always reluctant to
take case from the jury by granting a
insult or by directing verdict.
The plaintiff had clearly tsiled to show
tho right OF the case going to the jury.
1t was not sufficient TO show that the
railroad company had been negligent.
but the must have been no negligence on
the part Of John A. Springer, Jr.
Presuming that tho railroad company
was NEGLIGENT in no whistle or bell being
sounded. John A. Springer. Jr., was
guilty OF oontributory negligence. II
reasonable mon would differ as to the
negligence Of the boy, IL would then be
q case for the Jury. but when reasonable
men would not diffet, Judge would fail
to administer justice II he denied motion
Of this kind.
The judge recited the details Of the ac-
cident which occurred near FELTON, Staff ON
Pennsylvania, on October 20, at s 50 pm.
The train which struck the wagon con-
tanning George A. St,llwell aged Is
years, and John A. Springer, Jr,, II years.
was going at the rate Of from 50 TO 20 miles
an hour.
Stillwcll was seated to the left and
Springer to the right on the wagon seat
They stopped 80 feet from the westerly
rail Of the northbound track and IS feet
from the westerly rail Of the southbound
track.
There wa' uncontradioted evidence
which showed hat person in the wagon
could have perceived a train 457 feet from
the crossing and continued to see It,
StiIlwell could have seen the train when
the wagon stopped had he looked toward
Felton,, but he did not look to the south,
only to the north, getting on the board IN
front of the wagon to do so. The question
was had tho boys used ordinary caution.
L. was u sad accident and excited the
sympathy of Couct aud jury, but justice
had to be administered according to law.
There was no alternative but according
to the principles Of law. to direct YER
dict for the defendant
The Jury then returned verdict for the
defendant.
An exception to the judges instructions
to tho jury was taken by Mr.. Higgins
Andrew f. Sanborn was associated with
Mr.. Bird in the case.
The jury was discharged until Monday

Trooper Tales by Will Leving-
ton Comfort. limo, Cloth. 24Spp.
Six illustrations. Price S1.0O.
Street and Smith, publishers, 23e
William street, New York.
War books are a drug on the
market, usually speaking. Here,
however, is a book with war as its
theme that is a decided novelty.
There is a strong background of hui
man interest in every one OF the
sixteen sketches in this book that
causes the reader to feel the scenes
and incidents described. The
drunken captain, the fever-stricken
soldier, the red lips and dark, en-
trancing eyes of the Porto Rican
maidens, the troopers in camp and
in action-all are so wildly por-
trayed that one feels that he has
actually been to the front with
Uncle Sans boys when he has read
the work. Mr.. Comfort, the author
is we understand, a young news
paper man in Detroit. Certainly
he has brilliant literary future if
this book is fair criterion of what
he can do.

The old alarm is sounded once

unite they will be defeated at the
next election in Delaware. The

lars will have to do as they say, or
there will be no fusion OF interests.
--DAILY REPUBLICAN.
The Union Republicans are
sounding no alarms. They simply
state the facts OF the political situ-
alton in this State; are asking sim
cere and fair minded Republicans
to consider these facts, and 10 act
according to their best Judgment.
The Union Republicans are ready
to submit the questions at issue, in
Republican party matters to a vote
Of the Republicans of the State.

Is it not better that the Office Of

Are few Federal offices worth
