ais. Rescript.
I Whitehouse, 1.-THE only duty imposed
upon the court by the report OF the ref
cree was TO apply the law TO the facts
found and reported by him. With respect
in his discretion to insist upon com
pliance with the provision Of Rule x,
or to receive evidence without IL. That
rule obviously does not apply to hearings
before referees, even when acting under

him, to adopt any reasonable method
which seems to him best calculated TO
promote the convenience OF the parties
and secure the ends Of Justice.
Nor were the defendants estopped by
the plea In Abatement from pleading !s ana
membership.
An assignment Of an account made
without consideration and for the sole
purpose Of collecting IL by suit In the
name Of the assignee for the benefit OF
the assignor Is deemed colorado only
the account to the assignee, and the
right TO maintain an action upon 1t In
HIS own name.
The result Is that Judgment Is rendered
In favor Of the defendants, Babbitt.
Douglass, Ellard and White; but against
be-
Judgment for the plaintiff for $4oi 81

Androscoggin, s..
Rescript.
Strout, J.-ThIs action was brought to
recover damages for an injury to plain
tits horse, caused by an alleged defect
in q highway in defendant city. Within
IA days after the accident plaintiff gave
written notice Of 1t to the municipal
officers Of the city In which It was sta
toned to have occurred on February IL,
1893, and the declaration alleged the same
date. On trial plaintiff offered evidence
tending to show that the accident oc-
CURED on the 18th instead OF the 18th.
This evidence was excluded and the
plaintiff excepted.
1t is the opinion Of the court that the
evidence should have been admitted.
The notice having been given within IA
days after the injury, as required by
statute, the mistake In the date OF the
accident, did not yitiate the notice and
render IL imperative. Exceptions sus-
tained.

ct al. Rescript.
Emery, 1.-THE defendants authority,
IL any, was under license, not under

from the ledge of the quarry by the de-
PENDANTS after that conveyance was a
| trespass to the real estate OF the plaintiff.
Exceptions overruled.

after an illness OF several years. Since
then his health has been gradually fall

Sunday he took dinner with the family
and told them that In few days he
would get out Of doors again. He held
that opinion to the last, insisting upon
being dressed, and while sitting in his
chair he passed to the other world as a
child falls to sleep. His bereaved mother
has the heartfelt sympathy Of the whole
town in this, her great affiiction. He
was an honored member Of Nonesuch
Lodge, No. 81, X. Of p, of Scarboro,
under whose auspices services will be

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PORTLAND, Ind, Aug. 10.-The first is

Finley's paper, came from the press at
Pennington to-day. Three pictures of The

or Republicanism as the guiding influences
OF his policy. Mr.. Finley says in his saluta-
forum:
Blu more thar these-more thar all
tity of the ballot box and the right of every
citizen, duly qualified by law. to cast one
ballot and have that ballot counted as cast.
Beside this all other issues dwindle. This
towers above all questions of mere admin
istration or policy. for this is the corner
stone of the Republic. So long as every
citizen can go to the polls. armed with the
ballot-his only weapon-can cast and have
that ballot counted as cast. this is a gov
eminent Of the people. for the people. by
the people. and the people are supreme:
but II the time comes that force can bar
the voters way or fraud throw the ballot
out. or count it in some other way than
cast, IL has lost its character as a Repub-
lie. and Ii becomes the worst form of mon

LONDON. Aug. 10.-Mr. Andrew Carnegie
sends to the Associated Press the following
statement regarding the situation in the
far East and the relation Of the United
States to future developments there: The
refusal Of the United States to participate
in the attack on the Taku forts makes the
Washington government the natural medi-
ator between China and the European
powers. but Americas position may easily
be forfeited by agreeing to join the action.
The release of Minister Conger and a de-
mand for compensation for injuries in
CURED are duties incumbent on the govern
ment. but the United States. in my opinion.
should take no steps in conjunction with
European powers. / take this view because
each Of these powers has separate interests
at heart.
Great Britain is going to land troops to
protect Shanghai because she looks on the
Yang-Tse valley as her special province.
Russia keeps her chief forces in Man
churia- France is I'm another region, and
Germany in a fourth. The first aim Of
each of these powers Is TO safeguard her
prospective domains. and IL the United
States should be drawn into joint action
with them. the Washington government
may even find itself pledged to go forward
into a campaign against China which
would be hopeless. or may ultimately see
the power AT war Win edCn Olner. 10
enter on a contest with four hundred mil
lion Chinese might prove as disastrous to
the United States as a war against a COM
bination OF European powers.
washington has been the only govern
ment which has been right with regard to
the safety of the legations. From every
point of view. President Mckinley and
Secretary Hay must be credited with hav-
ing placed our country in a higher and bet
ter position than that occupied by any
other.

upon which he has started to give the
