NO RIGHT
To Refuse Freight on Account
of a Combination.
Packet Company Must Pay For a Stolen
Box

Two c'sos appealed from the Grit
tenden circuit court were decided b,
the Court of Appeals last week, and
one OF them is of especial interest to
river men.
S4ss,ngood, Shx, Krause Il Co., a
Cincinnati wholesale Clothing house,
sue the Evansville d Paducah Pack
Ell Co., for 1874, value OF box o.
clothing rendered the packet, .Ine
Fowler, at Tolu for shipment to G n e
cinnati. The packet refused to take
it because of a combination bet seen
that packet company and the Ciucin-
natl IL New Orleans Packet Go. I'd.
whereby the Evansville IL Psducsh
Packet Co., were to carry freight
only consigned to points between
Evansville IL Paducah and freight
consigned to points outside their ter
ritory was to be carried by the Gin
cinnati q New Orle ans Co.
That night after the box of goods
was refused by the Fowler, thieves
broke into the warehense and stole
them.
Judge Pratt was then judge and
under his Instructions the jury return-
ell q verdict or the packet company.
The court of appeals reversts the
case on the ground that at the time
the goods we're stolen they were in
the Packet Cos warehouse and in
charge of their agent. and for that
reason Packet Co., is responsible for
the loss and for the additional ressc
that the combination between the
two boat companies was an unlawful
agreement in restraint of trade and
the Fowler had no right to refuse to
take the box.
In the case of Hurley VS. Wood
sides, Hurley sued Woodsides for
$500 damages for alleged breach of 5
year verbal rent contract. Lower
court decided in favor of WoCdsides,
because contract was not in writing,
and court of appeals afiirns the low
court and decides in favor of Wood
sides also.

DAVID KINNYBROOK
A Birmingham Boy Tells of Attack on
 Pasig City

Mrs. Annie Kinnybrook, of this cityS has just received a letter from her son, David Kennybrook, who is a bugler in Company c, Twentieth United States Infantry, sta toned in the Philippine Islands The young man gives a very interesting account of the fighting and hard service his company has seen. He says that the hardest fight he has yet witnessed was on St. Patrick's day, when Company c led the attack on Pasig City. In that fight Mike Kelley, another Birmingham boy, was shot through both legs. The letter states that he is at present doing very well, but cannot yet use one of his injured limbs. At the close of the let ter the young bugler says that his regi- ment is now stationed in Manila, and that the boys are having plenty to eat and as much ice water as they want.
 kennybroek was formerly member of the First Alabama regiment As soon as his regiment was mustered out of service he enlisted in the regular army.
 Enclosed in the letter to his mother was a clipping from a Manila newspaper. The article is headed "The Twentieth Infan- try" and gives an interesting account of that regiments action in the attack on Pasig City.
 The following is an excerpt from the Ma nila newspapers description of the fight:
 Private McGurrin, of Company c, Twen- tieth United States Infantry, captured the first gun from the enemy. Private Fricke of the same company secured the first bolo Large numbers of the enemy were killed and wounded up to then and the scene along the route from San Pedro Maoati to Guadaloupe was sickening one, limbs and trunks being scattered in all directions Our loss was two men killed and twenty one wounded, including two officers. Our forces camped for the night on a command ing elevation two miles beyond Guadaloupe On the following morning. bright and early, the general advance was resumed, the ob- jective point being Pasig City.
 On the afternoon of March IA and fore noon of the 18th the enemy's trenches and breastworks on the opposite bank of the Pasig river in front of Pasig city were shelled by the artillery ana at l p. m. the First battalion of the Twentieth United States under command of Major Rogers, consisting of Companies c.

WAS THE BEST YET
The Show at East Lake Could Not be
 Excelled

The fourth week of the summer amuse- ment season was opened at East Lake last night by kilroy and Britton and a first-class vaudeville combination that dealt out more genuine and appreciated fun to the square inch than any attraction presented at that place this summer.
 Kilroy and Britton were seen in very funny talking act, which was supple mented with illustrated ballads and parod- les that went well with the large audience present.
 Wrothe and Wakefield, two real Irish comedians, who are comedians in every sense of the term, appeared in their new act, 1.-The Hat" and they kept the audi ence screaming for fully twenty minutes.
 The sisters La Vigne, in buck and aero batic dances and coon songs, made a hit
 The entire show was splendid. and no one could wish for a cleaner or ceyerer performance than was put up last night
 A complete change of programme will be made Thursday night.

TRADE TREATY
Negotiations Continue Between France
 and United States

Washir gton, June 19.-Negotiations on the FrancoAmerican reciprocity treaty were continued at the state department to- day and it is understood that the next few days will determine whether it is possible for the two countries to come together on trade treaty.
 The concessions to be granted to the United States are already settled, so it re- mains only to determine what articles are to be covered in the concessions to France. Instead of picking out certain articles on which to grant concessions to this coun- try, the French proposition is to grant the entire list of articles in the minimum sched- ule. In return for this Commissioner KassOn has suggested a certain number Of articles on which reductions of duty will be allowed to France. The Paris authori- ties hardly think this goes far enough and is short of a full equivalent for granting the whole minimum schedule to the United States. The parties 10 the uegotiations are quite hopeful of securing definite results within the next few days.

tenant Krug, Captain Alvord and Lieuten- ant Smith was ferried across, and under a heavy fire from the enemy, depDyed as skirmishers and immediately began con- testing the enemy's positions.
 The first of OUT men to fall were Private Tornoff shot through the heart, and an- other private of Company was severely wounded.
 For two hours the enemy's force poured a terrible fire into our ranks, aided by sharpshooters from behind stone walls. breastworks and the church tower.
 Gallant Lieutenant Richardson proposed a charge, and after officers consultation Major Rogers gave the welcome order and the men led by Captain Foster rushed pell mell up the narrow crooked streets yelling as only old Indian fighters can, each man anxious to be the first to enter the church.
 When the enemy heard the hurrahs they rang the big church bells as a signal for their entire force to retreat. Some of those who fingered were captured, others who persisted in firing to the last were killed. After battering in the big doors of the church the first to enter were Lieutenant Richardson, Sergeant Way and Private McGurrin. The latter grabbed some papers from one of the enemy, which documents proved to be valuable. The enemy lost forty-six killed and eighty-nine wounded and fifty-one prisoners were captured Amongst the Killed were nine women who were fighting in the ranks and handling a Mauser equally as well as the men.
 The following morning at daybreak our scouts advanced in the direction taken by the enemy, succeeded in eluding their out posts and found the main body entrenched near Cainta in a strongly fortified position the opposite side of Cainta river i've miles southeast of Pasig city. As soon as this information was brought in Major Rogers in command of the First battalion, Companies c, r, l. and G, left Pasig, &C., companied by a hospital corps under Cap tain McCullum. Having captured the ene- my's outposts the river was reached Companies and being the first to ford it under the protecting fire of Companies L and G. As soon aS all had crossed the ad- vance began. The enemy had well con- structed trenches which were arranged three feet deep with projections toward our front. From these a destructive fire was showered on our Hanks.
