PLAINTIFF WON.
Jury Believed the Story Told
by Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell
Trask Today.

A Jury in Judge Blodgett's court today
had TO pass upon dispute in which some
$1,000 was involved, between woman and
her former brother-in-law. Mrs. Eliza
beth Campbell Trask was the plaintiff,
and John Campbell was the defendant.
Mrs Trask was appointed administra-
trix on the estate OF her late husband.
Archibald Campbell. Mrs. Trask was
married for a second time last Septem-
ber. and she testified today that John
Campbell borrowed from her late hus-
band $1,000 10 bring his Johns, two dsugh-
ters over from Scotland. Mrs. Trask
says. too, that John did not use the mon
ey as ne agreed to.
Suit was begun April Eth. 1893. and
there was question today whether Mrs.
Trask's marriage did not vscate her
appointment as Administrative. Mr.
owen. counsel for Mrs. Trask argued It
did not. as she was unmarried when APP
poInted and there could be no question
that she was properly administratrlN
when the suit was begun. Judge Biod-
gett let the trial go on.
Mr.. Campbell denied that he borrowed
the money or that his brother was In
position to loan so much cash. The jury
found for the former sister-in-law for the
full amount OF her claim.

new TRIAL
DENIED
BY COURT
Moorshsad Had Not Right
Under His License to Sell
Liquor on Sunday.

A new trial has been denied by the
appellate court in the case of state VS..
Patrick Moorehead.
Moorehead was convicted of keeping
and maintaining a common nuisance In
the town of Coventry. The new trial
was asked for chiefly because of certain
alleged erroneous rulings of the justice
who presided at the trial In the COM
mon pleas division OF the Supreme court
1t was agreed at the trial of the case
that Moorehead had license to sell in
toxicating liquors, but the state claimed
there was a nuisance because Moore
head sold liquor on Sunday.
Defendant argued the indictment could
not be maintained because the selling as
charged was a specific offence. and de-
fendant might be liable to be twice pun
ished for tho same offence
Counsel objected 10 evidence of the sales
on Sunday going to the jury; but the pre-
Now ne appellate court says such action
was proper
Judge Tillinghast, who writes the opin-
ion OF the court, says: "A license To sell
Intoxicating liquors does not include a
license TO keep a nuisance. A licensed
dealer has no more right to sell liquor
on Sundays TO be drunk on the premises
than has an unlicensed dealer. The Ii
cense simply authorizes him to sell In
business in decent and respectable man
ner.
''If. therefore, he sells In violation OF
law, or permits his place TO become the
resort of intemperate. idle, dissolute.

though II were kept by person not hav-

GIVES UP
STAGE FOR
GOSPEL.
Benjamin J. Scov|IIs, Talented
Actor, Is to Become Evan
ge|ist Among Thsspiahs.

New York. Nov. 21.-Crushed by the
Galveston storm, Benjamin ]. scoville, a
well-known actor and formerly q leading
member of Sir Henry Irving company.
has decided to give up trying TO amuse
people and will devote himself to the task
of saving souls. AS an evangelist he will
work exclusively among actors.
scoville is a London man. and when
only years old was left destitute in the
British capital. his only friend being
young sister. Full OF pluck the little boy
supported his sister and himself by black
ing boots.
At the same time he was able TO secure
a good education. He went on the stage
and showed ability. and brilliant future
was predicted for him. f$e joined lrvinss
company and for time was the under
study OF that actor. Mr.. Scoville was es-
pecially strong In Shakespearian roles.
Mr.. Scoville was married last June In
Manchester. England. and with his bride
came TO this country. They went to CAL
weston and Scoville was appointed teach
er OF elocution In the High school OF that
city. When the storm broke over Gal
weston Scoville happened to be In the
ftlSn sC0OOl Duiiulllbs dHu w eaiS Ne~~
he owes his life.
The High school was one OF the few
structures which was not destroyed.
When the storm had died down Scoville,
full of anxiety for the safety OF his bride,
went home. He found his wife dead In
the house.
The young actor could not stay In the
place where his happiness had been lost
and so started for the east. He reached
this city, and when IL became known that
he was doing nothing several managers
offered him an engagement. But he did
not feel equal to appearing on the stage.
Three weeks ago, while Scoville was
walking aimlessly about the city. he en-
tered out OF curiosity one OF the Gospel
missions conducted by the Rev. DIR. A.
II. Simpson. During tho meeting Scoville
made a short address and announced his
conversion.
DR.. Simpson Immediately became great
" interested in the young actor and in
duced him to go to the Christian Alliance
Institute at Nyack and study TO become
an assistant OF the head of the alliance.
