This was suit by Plat and others to
restrain the city of Waterbury from
polluting with its sewerage the Maui
gatuck river above the plaintiffs mill
and also for damages. The lower court
awarded the plaintiffs an injunction
and $500 damages and defendant ap-
pcaled.
The court says:
We think it evident that the mere
granting authority to a city, to con-
struct for the; convenience and benefit
Of It's inhabitants, sewers adapted to
carry off their refuse matter to
some neighboring stream, does not
necessarily make such use of the sew
ers governmental use. But If we con-
cede the defendants claim that the use
is governmental use, 1t is never-the-
less liable to the plaintiffs. The injury
described by the complaint is not a
mere consequential damage. like that
resulting wholly from the lawful use
OF ones own property or the lawful ex-
ercise of governmental power. 1t Is a
direct appropriation of well recognized
property rights within the guaranty of
the constitution. THE property of no
person shall be taken for public use

supreme Court Of Appeals, West Va.
November IL, 1899.
A RESIDENT OF THE STATE EN-
LISTING IN THE VOLUNTEER
SERVICE OF THE NITED
STATES, AND LEAVING THE
STATE, DOES NOT BECOME A
MERE RESIDENT WITHIN THE
MEANING OF THE ATTACHMENT
LAWS.
The facts are set out in the opinion
of the court
The court says:
While the plaintiff in error assigns
several errors in the proceedings in
this case. his counsel, in the brief, ap-
pears to waive aH-ether. questions, and
10 rely solely on the contention that
the defendant ut the time this attach
inent was sued out was Il nonresident
OF this state, within the meaning of our
attachment laws. The facts adduced
before the court in support of this posi-
ton are THAT the defendant was en-
gagged in the hardware business in the
city of Clarksburg, w. Va, and had
been SO engaged for several years;
that he was a single man, and boarded
at different places in said town; that
on May Is. 1895, he entered the army of
the United States as IL volunteer for
remained in the service until the COM
pany in which he was lieutenant was
mustered out of service; that during
the time he was in the army his regi-
ment was stationed in the states of
Georgia and Tennessee. and he was
thus engaged in said military service
on the 18th of November 1898, when the
plaintiff, who had served him as clerk
in his store, brought said suit against
him as nonresident. Upon the allie
CATION that defendant was then n nom
resident the plaintiff seems TO rest his
claim to the jurisdiction of the court.
ana right to sue out an order of attach
ment. and have the same levied upon
the defendants property. The question
as to whether the defendant was a
nonresident at that time is raised by
the plea in abatement, and the point
for our consideration is whether the
testimony adduced before the court es-
tablished this jurisdctional fact. In
Shinn on Attachment we find the law
thus stated, under the head, Effect
of Temporary Absence: IAN indefi-
mite abode, without intention of re-
naming permanently, does not make
residence letting numerous authoritiesl.
One who is beyond the state
limits, engaged in actual military SER
service. is neither a nonresident nor
an abSconding debtor, within the mean
| ing of the attachment law, and is not
liable to attachment" In order that q
person may become nonresident, it
is necessary that he should leave the
state with the intention of remaining
absent. therefrom. In Haynes V. Pow
ell ! Lea, 347, that court held that "a
charge of nonresidence, removal, or alb
sconding from the state is not support
ed by the fact the defendant was be-
You'd the state. as a follower of either
cause during the Civil War, and seper-
ated from the place where the court
was held by hostile lines of the OPP
posing, armies.
In view of the facts proven, and on
application of the law TO those facts,
my conclusion is that the PLAINTIFF has
failed to show that the defendant was
a nonresident at the time the attach
ment was sued out. Affirmed.

general manager of the company, and
Mr.. Mccoy. the secretary will in all
probability make Wilmington their
home when the plant is put in opera

AS late as last summer the Star made
mention of the very great activity of
the Angola Company in purchasing
timbered lands in this and adjoining
counties, and it is announced that they
hold options on something like 60 600. 900
feet on the stump. Spurs of railroad
track will be projected from different
points along the 4. c. l.. Railroad and
along the river, and in this way the
logs will be freighted to the mill.
The purchase means much for Will
mington's commercial and shipping in
terest. and the new enterprise will be
welcomed with open arms by Will
mington business men.
