STRAUGHAN V. TYSOR.

Supreme Court OF North Carolina,
March 81. 1889.
ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT POSSES
SION IS IMPLIED FROM TITLE,
IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY ADJ
VERSE CLAIM ONE IN POSSES
SION OF LAND UNDER COLOR OF
TITLE is SEIZED AND POSSESS
led THEREOF.
The acts appear from the opinion of
the court.
The court says:
This is petition filed before the clerk
by plaintiffs, as admins traitors d. b. n.
OF Josiah Tysor. against the defend
ants, the widow and brother and sis
tiers of said Josiah, for the purpose OF
selling land for assets. The plaintiffs
allege that their intcstate died in 1895,
seised and possessed of the land de-
scribed in the petition. The defendants,
except the widow, answer and aver
mat they were tenants in common with
said Interstate. On the trial of this is

ana judgment was entered directing
that the sale proceed and that the
conissioners to sell make their report
to the clerk. The plaintiffs introduced
as evidence deed proper in form to
convey title to their intestate from. his
uncle. Harris Tysor dated and deliv-
ered in June. 1865. and proved that their
intestate lived on said land until his
death in 1896, and that no one else ever
cultivated the land or had anything to
40 with IL. The defendants proved tina t
Dennis Tysor, father of the plaintiffs
lntestate and defendants. formerly liv-
ed on this land, and that, after the
death OF Dennis, his widow, daughters
ana said Josiah lived on the land until
the daughters were married. This was
the evidence. There Is no question of
custer or adverse possession in the case
The defendants have shown no title
from any source, but simply occupa-
ton with their brother Josiah until they
were married. They asserted no claim
until this action was Instituted The
plaintiffs show title, and possession in
their intestate, and that he alone ex-
aercised ownership, by cultivation. etc.
until his death. covering n period of
more than rs years after the date of
his deed. On the principle that possess
sion is implied from title, in the absence
of any adverse claim, until the contrary
is shown, we hold that the plaintifr's
intestate was not only seiscd, but was
possessed of the land in dispute and
covered by plaintiffs deed, and that no
error was committed by the court be-

certificate in suit made the defendant
liable If the death of FEEDER resulted
from an accidental cause. The evide nee
shows that the cause was the ruptured
artery; but that was not accidental, If
1t was the natural result of an act vol
unfairly done by FEEDER. That he did
anything but what he intended to do,
In attempting to close the shutters, it
is not shown nor claimed. 1t is not
even shown that he made any unusual
exertion In what he did. Had the ar
terry been ruptured while the decedent
was sitting quietly in his chair or while
walking at moderate pace, there
would be no ground for claiming that
the rupture was accidental and we do
not think that. because the act of clos.
ing the shutters may have required a
niue more eXertion than would have
been required to remain seated or to
walk leisurely. the rupture was acct
aental. So far as is shown, 1t may have
peen' and probably was. due to a weak
ened or diseased condition of the ar
terry. But. however that was, we are
SATISFIED that there was no evidence
whlch would have authorized the iury
10 iind that the rupture was accidental.

Supreme Court of Iowa,
February 4, 1899.

February 4. 1899.
DEATH OF AN INSURED WILL NOT
BE HELD ACCIDENTAL. If IT
MERELY RESULTS FROM A RUP-
TURE OF AN ARTERY AS HE
REACHES TO CLOSE THE SHUT
TIERS OF A WINDOW, WHEN
NOTHING WAS DONE, OR OCCUR
RED, WHICH HE HAD NOT FORE
SEEN OR PLANNED. EXCEPT
THE RUPTURE.
This was suit upon certificate of
insurance issued by defendant company
to Louis FEEDER and providing for the
payment of certain insurance In case
OF his death occurring from any ac-
cidental cause. The deceased was SUI
fering from consumption and went to
Denver and there resided for his
health. One day while preparing to
leave the office of his brothers he went
to n window to close the shutters. A
chair stood between him and the win
dow, and he stood on his toes, reached
over the chair towards the shutters,
and as he did so homorrhage occur
red and he died in a few minutes. The
cause OF death was the rupture of an
artery and the rupture was not due to
his disease. Ihere was no evidence
that he fell, slipped or lost his balance.
There was n judgment for the COM
pany and the plaintiff appealed. The
court says:
There is no evidence whatever that
anything was done or occurred which
he had not foreseen and planned, eX-
cepting the rupture OF the artery. and
the consequences which resulted from
1t. Did his death result from an acct
dental cause Various definitions of
the word "accdent' are quoted by the
appellants. The ordinary and popular
meaning OF the word accidental" is
said to be happening by chance Jun
expectedly taking place; not accord
ing, TO the usual course OF things; or
not as expected"
1t is argued that the rupture OF A
blood vessel Is not the usual result of
an effort to close shutters; therefore
when It occurs, 1t is unusual, unexpect-
ed, and an accident. While 1t may be
true that an accident is an event which
takes place without ones foresight or
expectation, and is undersigned, it is not
true that every unforeseen, undesign-
ed and unexpected event is an "acci-
dent within the ordinary and popu-
lar meaning of that term. For exam
pie, II person having dsea sed heart
should take violent exercise voluntari-
ly. and death should result, the cause
would not be accidental. Although a
result may be designed, foreseen or ex-
pected, yet, If it be the NATURAL and di-
rect effect OF acts voluntarily done. or
OF conditions voluntarily assumed. it
cannot be said to be accidental. The

Al Acted Parable.

When the late Dr. Alexander Proud at was pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Springfield, Ohio, he told this amusing story at a social gathering of the teachers of his Sunday school:
 "A good old Scotch elder, who was deeply concerned because his pastor persistently refused to allow children to be admitted to church fellowship. invited him to his house. After tea. the elder took the pastor out to see his large flock of sheep put into the fold. Taking his stand at the entrance to the sheepfold, the elder allowed the sheep to enter, but as the little lambs came up, he roughly pushed them back with a heavy stick.
 The pastor became very indignant, and exclaimed, What are you doing to the lambs? They need the shelter far more than the sheepr
 Just what you are doing to the children at the church, was the prompt reply.
 '1 he object lesson did it's work. Never again did the pastor attempt to shut out from the fold of the church one of Christ's little ones."

Great Stamp Collection.

Philatelists will be interested to learn that the great Tapling collection of postage stamps in the British Mu- scum is now nearly all arranged in sys- tematic order, and will soon be avail able for purposes of comparison and study E. D. Bacon, who has been engaged in the work for the last four years, has carefully annotated every issue with the name of the printer and designer and the date of issue. The collection is preserved in a very strong iron chest in one of the rooms of the National Library, but when it's ar engagement is finished 1t is probable that some device may be adopted so that those who wish to consult it can do so without having access to the stamps. Several suggestions to this end have been made, and experiments are being tried with view to adopting the most satisfactory method of giving the public the required facilities. while protecting the stamps from being han died and the deteriorating effect of light Birmingham (England) Post.

A special train left this city this afternoon. bearing to Bauma. besides the remains of NJ Guyer-Zetier. a number Of members of the Swiss Federal Council. the entire Greek Society of Zurich. a deputation of city officials and about 300 friends and business associates. M. Guyer was the only railway king Switzerland possessed, and his death has caused the expected furry in railway stocks here. It was due to his marvellous zeal that most of the important rail- ways of Switzerland were built. His greatest work was the Jungfrau rail- way, a project which has been pro nounced impossible by modern engin- eers. When unable to find financial backing he decided to build it with his own money, and himself had defrayed all expenses thus far. X large parf of the road is finished. but M. Guyet did not expect to complete it before 1903. Now the question is, who will finish his life work? Aside from his railways, he was greatly interested in manufacturing concerns His death will be felt greatly by the Greek na. ton, whose consul general ne was for the German and Italian eantons Of Switzerland.

The model shown in the large en-
craving, while illustrated in white
muslin with the guimpe of tucked and
shirred material, is suited to many
other stuffs. Thin silks, such as In.
dia and foulard, make attractive
guimpe when in contrast to a dark
wool waist, and innumerable similar
combinations can be devised.
The foundation for the waist is a
fitted lining that closes at the centre
back. On it are arranged both the
yoke and the full portion, but if q
more dressY effect is desired for dane
ing school or party wear, both yoke
and sleeves can be left unlined, allow,
ing the skin to peep through. Round
the neck, outlining the yoke and fin
ishing the wrists, are ruchings Of the
muslin, edged with tiny lace. The
collar is high and of the tucked ma
terial, but has frill of lace, and up
on each shoulder is arranged bow OF
white ribbon.
To make this waist for miss OF

yards of material thirty inches wide
will be required.
