Upon the second trial OF the case the
plaintiff was non-suited on the same
ground and the case was brought before
tition for a new trial.
Testimony was offered at the trial OF
the case when the jury gave a verdict
against the company TO the effect that
the company's foreman had knowledge
the night before the accident that one of
it's wires was in a dangerous position.
Mr.. Judge, who was working for the
telephone company, went up pole on
North Main street TO fix wire.
He came in contact with ciTcuit, due
10 the dangerous condition anu dangerous
position OF the Narraganaett company's
wire. and he was shocked, burned and
thrown to the ground.
THE SECOND TRIAL
At the second trial there was important
testimony given by one David Sedder. at
least the plaintiff considered IL so, and of
sufficient Importance to let the case go TO
the jury.
The appellate court says of this testi-
mony, speaking through Judge Tillng-
hast: 1--WE fail TO see that the testimony
referred to furnishes any evidence of due
care on the part Of deceased at the time
Of the accident. Taken in its most IA
vorable light for the plaintiff, IL simply
shows that just before the accident the
deceased was seen TO be at work near the
top of telegraph pole on the east side
OF North Main street near the steps lead
ing up 10 the state house; that he was
near the cross-bar on the pole in the
midst of, or in close touch with numerous
wires, and was evidently engaged in dis
entangling and re-adjusting one or more
of these wires; but just how he was doing
il and what care he was exercising no
one knows.

CANNOT
COLLECT
DOUBLE TAX
Town Of Cumberland Loses Its
Suit Against Mrs.
BaIIOu.

The appellate court has decided in thu
case OF Cyrus Taft collector, VS. Sarah
Ballou that the town OF Cumberland can.
not recover in it's action to collect tax
upon personal property assessed In the
year 1896 A jury gave the plaintiff a
verdict.
One OF the grounds on which a new
trial was asked by the defendant was
because of failure or the testimony to-
show that the tax was legally assessed
The law requires notices OF the assess-
ment of tax TO be posted in three con-
spicuous places. There was no testimony
that such notice was put up I'm this case
The trial judge charged the jury that
the plaintiff must prove the posting OF
notices and. as there was no proof of post
ing, the appellate court holds the verdict
clearly against the evidence.
Mrs. Ballou is the widow OF Isaac Bali
lou and the court, after holding that Mrs.
Ballou would be entitled to new trial.
says under the law 1t. the court, rs justis
fed, in goirg further.
Chief Justice Stness, who writes tha
opinion of the court, says:
IL appears In this case that the de-
fendant ia the widow OF Isaac c. Ballou
OF Cumberland and that she is the sols
beneficiary under his will. In the assess
ment roll was this entry: Ballou Isaac.
DECEASED. estate and widow. personnl
valuation $4,000. personal tax $780,. total
tax sl00.' That tax has been paid. II thus
appears that the defendant has been
twice taxed on the assessment roll for
personal property 1t does not appear
that these taxes were for separate or dis
tinct personal property. On the contrary
the appraisers return OF the personal es-
tate of Isaac c. Ballou is only s2.4ss.7S.
and the amount OF the defendants per-
sonal property In July 1885, $500. The sum
of $4,000 taxed to the estate and widow
is more than both of these sums put to-
gether. Hence IL appears that the assess
ment against the widow OF lump suns
of $4,000 was intended to be and was a
full tax OF both estates.
This having been paid the plaintiff cam
not collect a second tax for the same
property. 1t is claimed that as the par
ticuar tax I'm question is assessed
against her as Sarah G. Ballou IL cannot
be regarded as the tax against the widow
of Isaac G. Ballou.
This claim cannot stand I'm view OF the
fact that the defendant is the same per-
son who is taxed in both cases The pay
ment of the larger tax is therefore m
complete defence TO the collection Of the
tax in suit
For this reason the case is remitted td
the common pleas division with directions
to enter judgment for the defendant.

teson, G. j., at the former hearing OF the
case In regard 20 the burns on Judges
hands, Judge Tillinghast says: Such be-
ing the natural and IL may we'll nigh be
said the necessary inference relative TO
this branch of the case, and there being
nothing to rebut II We fail 10 see how a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff. IL one
be again obtained, could stand; for the
burden OF proving that the deceased was
in the exercise OF que care at the time he
received the injury rests upon the plain
tiff. And, as already said. the natural in
ference, from the nature and extent Of
said injuries being to the contrary the
presumption that deceased was In
the exercise of,due care, Is overcome. and
hence there is no evider<s In support
thereof"
The court holds that Judge must have
come I'm contact with a highly charged
wire or else must have created a short
circuit and thereby received the injury.
Either cause is held prima facie., incon-
sistent with due care. the court says.
THoMPsoN's TESTIMONY.
The court relies on the testimony OF
one Tompkins, who among other things
says that II was absolutely necessary TO
use gloves I'm handling wire with a
dangerous current.
1t is recalled by the court that de-
ceased was a trouble hunter and that ''he
knew or ought TO have known that under
the circumstances the wires which he was
sent TO repair were liable 20 be danger
Gus and hence due care on his part re-
quired that he should have taken precau-
tions I'm handling them as TO have rem

followed.
