GIvAN v. BANK OF ALExANDRIA
supreme Court Of Tennessee.
November 26. 1898

November26, 1898
A, BANK HAVING CHECKS EnR
COLLECTION is GUILTY OF. MEG
LIGENcB WHEN 1T SENDS THEM
( DIRECTLY TO THE BANK ON
ON WHICH THEY ARE DRAWN. Z
This was suit in chancery against
n bank to recover the amount OF two
checks on the bank of a. Bryan &. Co.
OF Watertown which had been placed
in the defendant bank for collection
by the plaintiff. The question was
whether the notes We're deposited for
collection and whether the bank Of
Alexandria had been guilty OF negli-
gence In attempting to collect the
checks. The lower court found for the
defendant bank, and the paintiff an
pealed.
The court says:
Is the Bank of Alexandria liable un-
der the facts stated above? We think
not. by the great weight of author
dty, the bank receiving q bill for coll
lection, payable at a distant point, is
implicitly instructed to send such bill
to a. suitable agent for collection at
the point OF payment; and such agent
when SO selected, becomes the agent
of the owner of the BILL and ds not the
agent Of the transmitting bank. II
the debt be lost by the negligence of
the agent so selected. the right of ac-
ton is In the owner of the paoer, and
not IN the bank. The liability of the
transmitting bank is only for dts own
negligence"
1t follows that under the facts found
the Bank of Alexandria exercised
proper care in selecting the First Ma
tional Bank as an Intermediary, and
that Its duty was then DISCHARGED to
the complainant when 1t sent the paper
by the mail the next day to said First
National Bank. and the latter became
the agent of the complaint. II Is
true that when the First National Bank
sent the check directly to the drawn
bank 1t was guilty of negligence. The
authorities upon this point in favor
of the proposition stated are over
whelming, But the Bank of Alexan-
drla, under the rules stated, Is not re-
sponsible for this default Of the First
National Bank. Affirmed.

CONDUCTED BY MRS. N. L. HOBBS.
GOV. MOUNT AGAINST CANTEEN.


Rams Horn has received lette
from Gov. Mount of Indiana regard
ing the sale of liquor to our soldier.
which read as follows:
DEAR SIR:-Replying to your
favor of the l4th int / beg TO say
that am opposed to the sale OF in
toxicating liquors to our soldiers.
This decision is not the outgrowth
of prejudice or mere sentiment, but
a conclusion reached "a the result
Iof observation and experience.
have noted the result where my
comrades used intoxicants in the
war of 81 to '65, iustifying then,
as now, such use as needful to tide
over great exposure or because OF
Impure water. Ore of the most
gifted and popular young officers IN
my regiment learned to indulge in
an occasional drink. He thus ac-
'quired an appetite for strong drink,
which became his master. Shortly
after the close OF the war he sought
relief from the disgrace of his thral-
dom through suicide. 1t is a fact
that cannot be successfully disputed
that soldiers who abstain from in
Itoxicants and dissipation Of all kind
were the men best equipped to en-
dure the exposure and hardships OF
army life. 1t has also been fully
demonstrated that temperate men
are more likely to recover from
wounds than dissipated men. L
trust | may be pardoned for per
sonal allusion. | refused my ration
of whisky the few times il was Is
sued. For three years | never
missed a march, skirmish, or battle,
was never absent from duty, was
never inside a hospital, and march
ed through pelting storms when
suffering with the measles. | am
unable to recall the name OF a single
soldier who used the "needful slim
ulants" who was able, under all cir
cumstances, to thus respond to
duty. In the light Of experience,
and with a deep concern for the
welfare OF ihe brave boys who have
left the influences OF good homes
for the dangers and temptations OF
army life, | must protest against
all insidious dangers and allure
ments, no matter under what guise
they may appear. Sincerely Yours,
JAMES A. MoUNT,
Governor of Indiana.

can disclose. OF the fact that her
culean efforts are being and will
continue TO be made, and that these
will be backed by an unlimited cor
ruption fund, there can be no doubt.
1t is well understood here in the
east and is the subject of daily con-
sideration by the knowing ones who
gather in New York. But standing
out in bold relief in the minds of
all parties, those who are in the
conspiracy and those who are fight
ing the conspiracy, is the convic-
ton, growing stronger day by day,
that if the battle of 1896 can be
fought over again the cause Of plu
tocracy is doomed to defeat, and the
cause of the people is certain to
triumph.
Evidence of the conspiracy to pre-
vent this result by capturing the
Democratic organization are upon
every hand.

London Temperance Hospital Finds n,
Use For II.

The London Temperance hospita
is no longer an experiment. 1t has
now rounded out quarter Of cen
tury of existence. In 1913 il was
Established in a house on Cover
street, and new occupies fine pile
of buildings in the most densely
popula. ed portion OF Hampstead
road. 1t was not designed as a
"lotal abstinence" institution. Ii
was designed merely to discourage
the use of alcohol in the treatment
of disease. Rule 15 OF the institu-
Ition reads:
"As the especial object Of this
hospital is to discourage in the treat
ment of diseass the employment OF
alcohol and TO furnish trustworthy
evidence of the results of IFS disuse,
it shall be incumbent on the pre-
scrbing medical officer, in any case
where alcohol in any form is ordered
for a patient. to enter in a took kept
for that purpose the full particulars
of the prescription, including the
time, quantity and reasons Of its adj
ministration. The effect of the dose
also shall be subsequently be noted.
A record OF all such cases in each
year shall be included in the follow
ing annual report"
While this institution has now
nearly 10000 pstients per year un
der its charge, it has been found
necessary to administer alcohol only
so times in the quarter of a century
of its existence. 1t is being officially
recognized as a public institution.
Formerly it was granted a support
|of but $3.50 per year in public
moneys, but now il receives an an
nuity from this source Of s3,475.
The remainder Of the support comes
from private contributions. One
ward was built by the Midilesex
Good Templars at cost of$l0,OOO

Lightning Plays Havoc Near the City.

A number of instances of damage
from Saturdays storm have been
reported in the city this week. There
seems to have been regular cloud
burst in the vicinity of Johnsburg,
and the corn beaten down by the
rain and hailstones that followed,
and the crop in that vicinity consid-
erably damaged. Thirteen tele-
graph poles between this city aud
Dale were struck, it is thought, by
the lightning and destroyed. The
llrge barns on the farms of Mr.. Fred
Vessel and Mr.. Gerhardt Koch
were struck but no material damage
was done to them. Mr.. Vessel lost
two hogs which were struck at the
same time. Mr.. Albert McIlree,
prominent farmer living near Duff,
was loser, his barn being struck
and destroyed by the fire that fol-
lowed, as was also a horse and
large amount Of produce stored in
the barn.-Huntingburg Argus.
