SEEKS A NEW TRIAL.


Before Chief Justice Matteson and
Justices Stiness and Tillinghast was
argued i'm the appellate court today the
defendants petition for a new trial is
the case of Roger f. Capwell VS.. John
T. Michon. The controversy was chief
ly whether the plaintiff bought a note
or simply paid it.
On April 5. 1894, Michon made a
three months note for $500 payable To
Thomas III. Hedley, which note was
transferred to Frank f. Tingley. who
deposited IT at the Slater National bank
The note wen. TO protest and a couple
OF days after II went TO protest a man
called at the bank, laid down the face
value of the note and protest fees.
The teller OF the bank says he believ-
ed .he rarty paying the money was
paying the note. not buying it. Some
ten months later the plaintiff began
suit and a jury gave a verdict for the
plaintiff for $3S5.25.
IL was argued today on the part II
the defendant that the Justice in the
common peas division erred In rel Is
ing certain Sstructions TO the jury.
Mr.. Capwell bought the note because
Mr.. Hedley suggested the note was a
good one. On behalf OF the plaintiff II
was argued that there was no error on
the part OF the Juogg in the lower coutt
and that the p.aintie when he paid The
money into the bank purchased ne
note.

Mr.. 0verStreet Champions the
Measure in the House.
Clear and Permanent Statute Needed
to Fix the Standard Of Value.
National Bank Circulation.

future loans negotiated with ease upon
better terms tnan ever before"
After an elaborate exposition OF the
features OF the bill and the method OF
their operation which followed the line
OF his report on the measure heretofore
printed. Mr.. Overstreet said:
NATIONAL BANK CIRCULATION.
"The proposition to allow national
banks to issue circulation TO the par
value of the bonds deposited for their
security is neither new nor partisan Ii
has been recommended by four presi-
dents and five secretaries Of the treas
ury, and bills containing such proyis-
ions have been introduced in Congress
and supported by members Of both po-
litfcal parties. Ii is entirely consistent
with the present banking system. The
same reasons which justify the issue OF
ninety per cent. of the bonds will Justify
an issue TO the par value OF the bonds
The only objection advanced aside from
that OF demagogue attacks, generally
upon banks Is that II permits too large
an increase of the volume OF circulation
and threatens Imitation But II is unfair
to compare the amount possible under
the proposed bill with the amount Of
bank notes now in circulation. The lack
OF profit upon bank note circulation be-
cause OF the tax has reduced such cir
culation far below the amount ever ex-
pected. and such reduction can be cred
itably charged 10 contraction, which
was equally unexpected.
The proper comparison is between
the amount possible under the present
law and the amount possible under the
proposed amendment which would be
put a ten per cent. increase. an amount
winch can be easily absorbed by the
business of the country and utilized
I'm as many different money centres as
there are national bank,. The repeal
or the tax upon national bank notes
and the substitution Of a tax upon
franchises as measured by this capital,
surplus, and undivided profits are pro-
posed in a spirit Of fairness and for a
Just distribution of the burden Of the
tax. The larger banks will pay the tax
In the same degree as the smaller
banks. while the amount Of revenue
will be practically unchanged"
THE CENTRAL IDEA.
In conclusion Mr.. Overstreet said:
THE advocates of currency reform de-
clare that the financial operations OF
the government are upon the gold stan
dard but the honest fears engendered
by doubtful legislation relative TO sill
YER coinage, and the persistent attack
upon the standard of value Justify the
legislation asked To firmly fix gold as
the standard OF value, the unequivocal
terms made fully operative by all prop
Pr safeguards is the central idea of the
law proposed 1t is believed that the
demads II and that our action
will be ratified by the people. The
OF the proposition are not
confined TO the Republican party nor TO
the so-called money centres"

The column arrived safely within a

half mile away, two batteries, in the
meantime, engaging the Beers and COW
erlng the troops in their withdrawal.
The action now became general at
long range. and a detachment OF
mounted infantry moved northward,
with view of getting on the enemy's
right flank. Suddenly, a strong COM
mando was seen moving from the north
and the Royal Irish Rifles a.g the
Northumberland regiment were sent

however. that the Beers had machine
guns well placed. and the British were
compelled TO face a terrible fire.
Finding IL impossible TO hold the po-
sition in the face of an enemy appar-
emily superior in position, numbers and
artillery, the British retired on Mol
teno, the Beers following up the retiie-
ment closely and bringing two big guns

BOER GUNS SILENcED.
Modder River Cape Colony, Sunday
evening, Dec. 10.-The naval 4-inch gun
again took up a position north of the
camp this afternoon while the howitz-
er battery was posted southeast on the
left OF the Beers. Both opened a hot
fire with lyddite shells and shrapnel. to
which the Beers sharply replied with a
dozen guns, thus unmasking their po-
sition, which was the object of the Bril-
tish maneuver. After an hours fight
ing the Boer guns were silenced, the
howitzers searched the trenches and
threw shell after shell upon the hills,
the explosion OF the lyddite causing the
whole ground over an extensive area TO
rise in the air i'm dense, brown clouds.
"A Boer long gun was dismantled.
III now appears that the Beers intend
that the next fight is TO take place at
Magersfontein. Apparently Spytfontein
is not defended or the Beers are unwil-
ling TO unmask their position there as
the replies TO the British artillery were
all from guns at Magersfonten.

COHEN WANTS new TRIAL.
Jury Found for Defendant In Ills Case Against

The plaintiffs petition for a new trial

court today. Mr. Cohen while riding in
his wagon along Cross street I'm Cen

OF defendants cars. Mr.. Cohen was
thrown'to the ground ana badly injur-
ed. A jury in the common pleas diyl-

Counsel i'm behalf OF the plaintiff to-
day argued this verdict was against
the evidence and the law. that the
judge erred in certain rulings of law
and also asked for a new trial on ac-
count OF newly discovered evidence.
Counsel for the defendant argued none
of the points made by the plaintiff
could be found justified by the record
and that as no affidavits in support OF
the claim OF new evidence had been
filed that matter could not be consider
