MICHAEL GLENNAN.

MICHAEL GLENNAN.
Away in the great dim distance,
Far in the silent unknown,
The spirit of my darling brother
From our earthly hearts has flown.
How 1 peer down that lonely valley,
To catch one glimpse of his face;
The shadows are dark and gloomy;
His dear form I cannot trace.
While I-lngeEAn-satlAees=f tfftl-sorrov-;,-
Burdened with lfe's heavy care,
His spirit is with our dear mother,
And Gods brightest angels are there
How prayed that might be taken;
That here, with those he loved best
He could bask in their cherished
affection;
Let me, in his stead, be at rest.
Still here in life's sorrow I lnger,
to mourn and sigh for my love;
The cross seems too heavy to carry,
For he I loved best is above.
His tender thoughts for my welfare
Bring to me life's sweetest refrain,
Laden with pure acts of kindness
And the music does lessen the pain.
Yet, the cross carry Is heavy,
I faint meath the weight of the rod
For the tcnderest link of true friendship
Has left me to dwell with its God.
My life is encouraged by the prayer
That some glimpse of the great eternal
May rob my heart of its care.
When, 10! from the silent shadows
Comes in memory's estate strain:
Your burden may seem heavy,
But your crown wilt hide all pain.
For the Christ you love is near thee;
He will guide your soul from ILL.,
And you'll find in the great hereafter
That the rod was the dear Lords
will"
So bow In humblest submission,
Content that my life is lone;
Content when I think, with the good
and pure,
You are safe with Christ at home
For your mission on earth was ended,
I mourn. still hope gives clear day,
When sorrow, and tears and heartache,
Will pass from my life away.

THD OPERATION OF ITS EN-

This was an action for injuries to
property caused by the operation of the
defendants trains adjacent to plain
tiif's land There was II Judgment for
defendant and plaintiff appealed.
The court says:
Plaintiff insists that, as the market
value OF her lot had been diminished in
consequence of the operation OF the
railroad she is entitled to recover
therefor, by virtue of the provision in
the constitution that private property
shall not be taken or damaged for
public purposes without Just and ade-
quatc compensation being first paid"

compensation for DANA ges" the word
always refers to some actionable
Wrong,-Some loss. injury or harm
which results from the unlawful act,
omission or negligence of another. In
this sense, and as well-denned law
term, it was used in the constitution,
to give the owner of private property
compensation for the actionable wrong
whereby his property had been dam
nified; burt it did not give him compen-
sation for depreciation in value caused
by any legal act, since in law such an
act was innocent, and therefore harm
less, or, if not actually harmless. dam
mum absquc injuria. Inasmuch as no
easement or other appurtenance be-
longing TO the plaintiff was physically
interfered with" It is necessary to
consider the cases which discuss the cf-
feet of that fact upon the right to re-
cover. Under the old cases there had to
be a physical taking; under the pres
ent constitution there must be a ply
sicai damage. The property need not
abut on the street. or be immediate

the injury Is occasioned. but It must
appear that plaintiff has some right
some user. some interest, which has
been wholly or partially destroyed be-
fore there can be recovery. There
must be some direct physical disturb
ance of a right, either public or private.
which plaintiff enjoys in connection
with his property, and which gives to
1t an additional value. and by reason
of such disturbance he has sustained
a special damage"
We have thus. at considerable length
given the reasons for our decision and
on account of the Importance of the
question, instead of giving mere cita-
tons, have departed from our usual
rule, and made frequent and lengthy
quotations from the authorities We
cannot do better than conclude with q
final quotation from Carroll V. Railroad
Co. GMinn.), where. in speaking of rail-
roads being public necessity, the court
says: Operating them in the most
skillfui and careful manner causes to
the public incidental Inconvenience
such as noise. smoke, cinders. vibra-
tionS of the ground, inconvenience by
interference with travel at crossings.
and the like. One person may suffer
more from these than another. For in
stance, one whose premises lie within
one hundred feet of the railroad will
feel the inconvenience in a greater de-
gree than those whose premises are at
distance of one thousand feet, and one
who has to pass many times over 1t
suffers more than one who seldom has
occasion to pass it. But the difference
is only in degree, not in kind. Such in
conveniences are common to the public
at large. If each person has Alright
of action for such inconvenience, 1t
would go far towards rendering the OPP
Grafton of railroads practically impos-
sible." Affirmed.

The Court says:

ion says:
1t ought to be obvious to any one
that dispositions taken by a steno-
grapher in shorthand must be fully
written out in longhand, read by or to
the witness. and assented to and signed
by him."
L leSc requirements, or their full
equivalents. are essential, and cannot
be dispensed with. The so-called de

The stenograDhcr may mistake. If he

he takes shorthand from the witness

the witness sees the deposition. reads

see 1T. and know, when closed. just what

characters. The deposition has not re-
ceivcd the final approval Of the witness.
He is entitled to n scrutiny of 1t. Both
litigants are deeply interested that he

GENERAL SHIP NEWS
The onondaga Fights a Storm to
Save the Minerva
But Does Not Sight the Derelict-Thc In
jurcd Tug Annie a Comparison of Two
Weeks Shipping Totals Exports, Month
and Week,

The U. S. revenue cutter Onondaga
arrived in port again yesterday after
an unsuccessful but eventful quest for
the derelict Spanish steamship Minerva,
left afloat without fuel. some 200 miles
east by south of Hatteras, by the Brit
ish steamship Parana last Sunday in
the heart of q terrific storm
The revenue cutter was directed by
Captain Hamlet to the locality where
the unfortunate steamship was last re-
ported, and arrived there just in time
to run into that big southeast hurri-
cane which forced him to lay-to for
three days and fight for the life of
MS own vessel and the lives of his
men. Mountainous seas made the
oeck q constantly changing inclined
plane, and the fierce wind forced the
men to cling for their lives every time
they ventured on deck. S
At the end of the three days the
storm moderated. and Captain Hamlet,
realizlng that any vessel, helpless in
that storm had likely brought up on the
oanks OF Newfoundland or gone to La
Drador, turned prov for home port TO
learn II the vessel he sought had been
reported before making further search.
The Onondaga was luckily uninjured

the Minerva is either far to the north
or at the bottom.
The tug Annie, of which's accident
mention has already been made, was
made the worst wreck, as to her en-
