was a party wall. This wall was built
one-half on the lot which Shverick s.

A wHARFINGER DOES NOT GUAR
ANTEE THE SAFETY OF YES
Sells COMING TO HIS WHARvES.
BUT HE MUST USE REASONABLE
CARE TO ASCERTAIN THE CON-
DITIONS OF THE BERrHS. AND
IF THERE is ANY DANG EROUS
OBSTRUCTION, REMOVE 1T, OR
GIVE NOTICE OF 1T TO VESSELS
ABOUT TO USE THE BERTHS.
This was libel filed by the owners OF
the schooner Ellen Tobin for damages
to their vessel while moored at appel
lants wharf at Georgetown, the injury
being caused by a rock which had been
allowed to remain in the bed of the
river and within the limits of the
berth at the wharf where the vessel
landed. The appellants were the les
sees OF the wharf and water rights 10
the channel Of the river. The vessel
sunk at the wharf and was sold at auc-
ton for s25. The appellants fled a
cross-libel for damages caused by the
appellees allowing their vessel to sink
at their wharf. The lower court gave
damages to libellant6 and dismissed the
cross-libel. whereupon the lessees of the
wharf appealed.
The court says:
Although a whariinger does not guar
antee the safety OF vessels coming to
his wharves, he is bound to exercise
reasonable diligence in aecertaining the
condition of the berths thereat, and il
there Is any dangerous obstruction, TO
remove 1t, or give due notice OF It's ex-
istence to vessels about to use the
bertf1s. at the same time the master
is bound to use ordinary care. and can
not carelessly run into danger.
AS to knowledge or notice OF the OBJ
etruction by appellants. the evidence
tended to show that they had been for
some years in the use of the wharf and
OF this particular berth. I,
further appeared that in December.
1889, the two-masted schooner Baird,
carrying five hundred TONS and when
loaded drawing fourteen feet, grounded
In the same berth, manifestly on a
rock. and that that fact and the char
acter OF her injuries were known to ap-
pellants. There was much other evil
dence bearing on this point of knowl-
edge or notice. which fully sustained
the Court of Appeals in It's conclusion
that appellants knew OF the existence
OF the rock: OF, II not, that absence OF
investigation amounted, under the cir
cumstanccs. to such negligence as to
1mpute notice. At all events we are
unable to decide that the Court OF An
peals was not justified in holding on
the evidence that appellants were liza
Bile for negligence and the want of reas-.
enable care. and that the master was
free from contrlbutory negligence. and
the decree must. therefore, be affirmed.

New York, May Tile president
and wife will probably leave for Wash
ington this afternoon.
President Mckinley allowed day off
to both of the detectives Sunday who
attended him ever since he was here,
saying he did not believe anyone would
harm him.
No announcement had been made of
what church the president would at
tend. When time for the start came
Mrs. Mckinley expressed her desire te
remain at home and one of the car
riages which had been waiting for them
was dismissed. The president attended
service at the Calvary Methodist Epis.
copal church, One Hundred and Twenty.
ninth street and Seventh avenue, of
which Rev. DR.. Willis p. Odell is pas.
tor.
When the president left the hotel q
large number of persons were gathered
about the entrance. When the presi-
dent came out with Abner Mckinley
there was a clapping of hands, to which
greeting the two gentlemen responded
by lifting their hats. The president
and his brother were driven through
Central park, escorted by mounted
policeman. Arriving at the church
they were greeted by a large crowd.
Twelve policemen were on hand to see
that there was no crush.
The church was prettily decorated in
the interior and large American flag
futtered from the flagpole ON tie roof.
The pulpit was draped with silk flag
and there were numerous clusters of
lilies and other flowers about the plat
form.
The sermon of DIR. Odell was purely
doctrinal, as the president had signified
his desire that no reference to him or
politics be made.
At the conclusion of the services there
was rush on the part of the congre-
CATION for the pew occupied by the
president. Many women struggled in
through the crush to shake hands with
the president. On leaving the church
President Mckinley was again greeted
by large crowd.
The president had dinner in his room.
During the afternoon there were many
callers, among them General Wesley
Merritt and wife, General Fred Grant
and wife and ex-Mayor William L.
Strong.
In the latter pBrt Of the afternoon
the president and Mrs. Mckinley and
Proprietor w. S. Hawk of the hotel
went out for drive. Mr.. Hawk took
them to see the closing exercises of the
children of the Sunday school of the
Zion and st. Timothy Episcopal church
in Fifty.seventh street. Mr.. and Mrs.
Abner Mckinley accompanied them in
another carriage. The party returned
to the hotel about dusk.
