EAST Y. KING.
Supreme Court OF Mississippi.
April Q, 1900.


April 0, 1900.
A WIFE BECOMES HER HUS-
BANDS AGENT BY NECESSITY
TO PROCURE BOARD AND LODG-
ING FOR HERSELF AND MINOR
CHILDREN. ON HIS CREDIT,
WHERE HE DRIVES HER AWAY
WITHOUT MEANS OF SUBSIST-
ENCE AND SUES HER FOR A d.
VORCE.
The facts appear from the courts
opinion.
The court saws:
Mrs. King sued East for s195 for the
board and lodging of his wife and
three small children for 13 months,
and had judgment for said sum. The
evidence showed that East directed
his wife TO leave his home, which she
did, and found refuge with Mrs. King.
her mother. East filed his bill for a
divorce, but failed to obtain {. decree
The children, however, were awarded
to the custody of Mrs. East There
was evidence that Mrs. King had fur
nished board and lodging to Mrs. East
and her three children for the time
specified in the account. and that the
charge made was reasonable.
"A husband is bound to SliDDort his
wife. and If he leaves her without the
means of subsistence, she becomes
AN agent of necessity to supply her
wants upon his credit This right
arises where the husband has driven
the wife away, or where she has left
him in consequence of i'll treatment,
and reasonable and well grounded ap-
prehension of further violence, or be-
cause her husband has rendered her
homo an unfit place FOR her to live,
as by introducing women of profigatc
entitle her to a divorce from bed and
habits. or in consequence of the COM
mission by him of such acts as would
board" The Judgment of the circuit
court must be affirmed.

AEh@ SdOP, If SAID ENGINE
WOULD BE A NUISANCE.
The councils of the city of Hinton
gave permission to Wood to build a.
carpenter shop In a certain locality
ana afterwards prohibited him from
using steam engine at said shop.
ne thereupon brought this suit for
damages and obtained Judgment
against the city from which it APP
pealed.
The court says:
The refusal of the town authorities
TO permit the use of steam engine
IN the building complained OF is prob
aDly because of it's being a nuisance
either from fire, smoke or noise, or ali
combined. Whether II was so or nor.
that was matter for the council to
determine; and, 1t having so deter
mined. Its action is final, unless an
0ulled by proper judicial proceedings
This right of the council seems to he
conceded. but the complaint is that
the council first gave permission. and
then. after it had been acted upon by
the plaintiffs at large expense, 1t re-
Voked the authority to use Il steam
engine, and thereby caused the plain
tlifs loss and damages. If the council
is wrong in the course 1t pursued the
town Is In no sense liable. Even after
the works were fully erected and in
operation the town would have had
the right to abatc them, If they proved
TO be nuisance to the public or lndi-
viduals. This belongs to it's govern
mental and public power. Every per-
son engaged in "a business that may be-
come a nuisance must take notice of
the law in this respect, although per-
mitted to do so in the beginning by
public authority. This is IL risk as
sumcd when such business is engaged
in by such person. 1t is beyond the
power of the town council to contract
away the authority to prevent or abat tie
nuisanceS, and. If they should do so,
their acts are ultra wires null and void
ana the town Is not bound thereby.
nor made liable to damages by reason
of breach of such void contract 1T
is not averred in the declaration that
the act complained of was wrongful
or illegal, and, If not, the town could
not, certainly, be liable for the lawful
acts of any of it's authorities. If either
the granting the permit in the first
instance, or revoking II in the second,
was an unlawful assumption of nu-
thority. which is not averrcd in the
declaration, the town could not be held
liable for damages consequent thereon
and functions of an Incorporated town
of public governmental character, it
is not liable for damages caused by
or arising thercfrom. 1t has been re-
peatedly held that. "as to the powers

planned of was a lawful exercise OF

be held liable, although injurious TO
the Individual Such injuries always
are the result of the prevention or
abatement of nuisances. and yet they
must be prevented or abated by the
police power; and the nuisancer must

cables from Tientsin under date of July

Smelling the foreign settlement. They

canal northeast and appearing 10 great
or force to the westward. Yesterday

sent an urgent appeal for reinforce.
ments declaring that the international
troops were In danger OF defeat.
Delayed Tientsin dispatches brir g
the serions news that there is lack OF
cooperation among the various com
manders in the bssieged city. The
need of general to be 10 supreme CON-
mand OF the allied troops is vital. The
delay in attacking the Chinese, as re-
suit OF the lack OF cooperation, is be-
lieved to have been the chief cause for
the failure OF the foreign force as it al
lowed the Chinese to place their guns
in positions commanding the city. The
native population in Tientsin was
greatly alarmed by the apathy of the
foreign commanders.

THURSDAY EVENING. JULY ~, 1900.

UNTIL the issuance of the democrat
ic platform, the incessant and invarlable
assertion of the republicsnplutooratlc
managers was to the effect that the
silver question was effectually settled
and was bound to remain 80, az the U.
s. Senate would certainly continue to
be republican for four years longer, and,
as certain, to be anti-silver for longer
time. But, Notwithstanding all this,
as soon as the platform referred to APP
peared, presto, change the republicans
started the cry, and have kept it up
ever since, that the silver question is
not settled; so far from being 30 indeed,
that it must be the paramount issue
of the campaign" They fooled some
people living on salaries with this cry
four years ago, and very naturally I'M
agine they can do 30 again. But II
they can, their dupes cannot poast OF
much more sense than that possessed
by Thompson's famous colt.

THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

While Washington officials are ress-
sured by the decree of the Chinese gov
eminent, presented to the State De-
partment by WI Ting Fang, Chinese
minister, London doubts it's truth and
even its authenticity. Washington au-
thorities continue preparations for
sending troops to China for the relief OF
Pekin. 1t is thought two additional
regiments will be ordered to Pekin
from the Philippines, making four In
all, and a battery OF artillery.
A Berlin dispatch says Tientsin was
bombarded by the Chinese from July 5
to s. Two thousand boxers attacked
the French settlement, but were routed
by Russians.
The London Express has dispatch
from Cnefoo dated last Friday which
says General Ma defeated the allied
troops at Tientsin and has occupied one
of the srsenals. There is danger, it is
said, that Tientsin may soon need re-
lief.
Russian papers say that the boxers
are threatening in Manchuria, aud Rus
STA intends sending large forces into
that territory.
A dispatch from Chefoo, dated July
7, via Shanghai says: The mission house
