IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
JUDGE TOWNSEND,S DECISION IN
IN IMPORTANT CASE.

Jury Panel In the Superior Court, Grim =
tnaI Side, Yesterday-ThOmas Rugle
Sent to State Prison-N. II. and w. II.
II. Company's Motion for Injunction
Denied--Common Pleas Court-New
Suits.
In the United States court yesterday
Judge Townsend rendered a decision in
the case of Emory r. Strong against
the United States, denying the motion
of District Attorney Comstock to dis
miss the complaint.
The suit was brought by Strong, who
was district marshal for Connecticut
from August 10, 1890, to August 26, 1894,
to recover a claim of fees for services,
and the action was instituted Septem-
Der 3, 1896, under section 2, of an act of
March 8, 1887, which gave the district
courts jurisdiction in all cases of claims
between $1,000 and $4,000. Subsequent
to the bringing of the suit on June n,
1898, an amendment was adopted by
congress removing all trial Of causes
for collection of fees for services, to the
court of claims.
Under this amendment District Attor-
ney Comstock moved for a dismissal of
the case, claiming that the amendment
acted to repeal the original act under
which the case was instituted. Judge
Townsend finds that the amendment
did not repeal the original act save as
to a certain class of cases. He rules in
pffpPt that n amendment ont
cannot vacate causes on trial under the
original act at the time of passage of
the amendment, except where such pro-
vision is specifically included in the
amendment

W. 8 Parker. Fairaaven's former e!sy

died OF heart disease early in February IN
Dawson. The report from Dawson says
that Parker went to South America, rom
Easrhayen and made fortune. and after
wards settling his Fairhaven shortage by
the payment of x2,09a- This Is rather mis-
leading. The fact Is Parker went away
from here with fortune and Afterwards
(about year ago. settled with the FAN
haven city council for less than - cents

best it could do under the circumstances.
as one-fifth of the stolen fund was great
deal better than nothing. The amount
actually placed III the city was less than
5000 the balance going for commission
and expenses in making the settlement.
The payment in nowise excuses Mr. Par
ker or relieves him of the odium cast upon
him for the wrong committed. He was get
ting a salary Of $50 per month. and in adj
t:itiou to this he regularly levied monthly
assessments upon the gambling dens ana
other disrerusable dives in the city, bring
ing his revenue UP 10 $3.50 or $500 per month.
This ought 10 have been sufficient renun-
GRAFTON for a man whose only qualification
was that OF a bruiser and general black
mailer. The law that allowed the city mar
shall to collect taxes was radically wrong.
A donkey in the parlor would be no more
out of place than was Parker as tax col
lector.
While in South America Parker prob
ably squandered more money than he
made, but his misdseds kept a constant
agitation in his mind. giving him no rest
until he made a compromise with the

knowing that the Law would grapple him

was compelled to confine his sphere of

Puget sound. He experienced the fact
that 1.-THE way of tho transgressor is
hard and there was mo rest for the
wicked" until he made his peace by COM
promising on 20 per cent. basis.
Parker's greed and dissipated habits led
him to desert a loving wife and family,
who removed from this city after his dis
appearance. He lived fast life. and 1t
Is presumed he died as he Hved--a ruined
character, depraved and ungrateful, UNI
accompanied by his life partner. who
would gladly have soothed his sorrows
In life and closed his eyes in death. He
Is gone, and the world is no better for his
having lived in it; his influence, Is but a
career OF disappointment trailing in the
dust of despair: few are his friends and
few are the tears shed at his departure:
his is a lonely grave, while his life was a
shocking reality. The world will in vain
gaze around upon the horoscope for one
redeeming feature of the man who might
have stood high in the councils of men.
But his sun has set, and that which
might have graced an honorable page in
history is only blank-an awful void.

Reports from New York indicate that
Jenerson's birthday win mark the
parting OF the ways for the Democracy
OF that state, and that such Will be the
case ID freely predicted By political
leaders.
The entering wedge that will split the
party farther asunder il Bryan's teIe-
gram from Nashville. Tenn, TO Eugene
v. Brewster, OF Brooklyn. accepting
the latter's Invitation 10 the one-doiEar-
a-piate banquet. In the following words:
ssWill attend Jefferson dinner of Chi
caro- platform Democrats April Il" 1t
viii be noticed that he divides the Dem
ocratic party squarely BY the Chicago
platform.
The promoters Of the dollar banquet
are frank in their declarations that 1t
will mark the real beginning Of syste-
matte and organized effort TO elect
Bryan delegates, or. at least, 10 send
contesting delegation. which win pre-
vent the seating OF Richard Croker and
his party followers in the national con-
vention OF 1900.
That Mr.. Croker realizes what may
come Is evident. for recently in con-
ference with ex-Senators Murphy and
German he declared: Il want to unite
all elements. not divide them. II the
Democratic party is divided ii viii not
lie the fault of the Democratic Club"
In the meantime Chairman Brewster is
preparing for 5000 guests to meet Col
Bryan. and says he expects TO hold
unable to crowd in, but who wish to
attend. William Hepburn Russell, Of
Massachusetts. teiegraphed him: Make
the banquet truly Democratic and count
me In. We must divide the sheep from
the goats" The process of dividing the
sheep from the goats may prove some
what difficult. as each wing of the di-
yided party declares itself to be COM
posed exclusively OF exceedingly white
Democratic sheep and the other side
made up OF disturbing goats.
Ex-congressman Cultivate, Of Ohio,
In an Interview, said: 1T is ridiculous
for Mr.. Bryan to read Democrats out of
the Democratic party. The result of
such course will be beneficial In one
respect. 1t will impress upon Demo-
Gratis the fact that their first duty in
the future is To make no attempt to con-
ciliate the representative of the objec-
tionabie ideas Of the Chicago platform"
In conclusion. he said ut is not clear
yet whether the gold Democrats viii
attempt to get into the national conyen-
ton. Circumstances must develop their
attitude on that question But one thing
may be relied upon. They will take the
wisest and best and most vigorous
course To defeat Mr. Bryan IL he should
be renofninated on the Chicago plat
form. and they will succeed as they did
before" This is plain talk and makes
II evident that the Jefferson banquet
will be an epoch making event In the
history Of the Democratic party.
