Collins Refuses to Non-Suit Because
of Hansen Case.

Although two of the most important
witnesses who testified at the first trial
of the suit of Abraham l.. Graham against
the Consolidated Traction Company have
died their testimony was admitted at the
fifth trial before Justice Collins in the
Hudson Circuit of the Supreme Court
yesterday.
Counsellor James B. vredenburg moved
a non-suit.
Justice Collins in refusing to non-suit
cited the Hansen case as precedent in
the point raised. Hansen recovered dam
ages before the late Justice Lippincott
and on appeal the verdict was set aside.
Suit was again brought and Justice Col
Inns, following the line of the reversal
decision, ordered non-suit entered The
case was carried to the Court of Errors
and Appeals and the non-suit set aside.
The questions involved, the Court said,
were the same as in the Graham case.
The case went to the jury shortly before
noon and within fifteen minutes a verdict
of $1,S00 for the plaintiff was returned.

Differences With the City of CIevc-

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 12.-
The Pennsylvania Company has made
the city a proposition for the settle
ment of the long standing litigation for
She possession of land on the lake
front. The Mayor has passed upon il
favorably and its terms will be m
bodied in an ordinance which will be
introduced in the City Council. In re-
turn for the surrender of it's claims
upon the land in dispute the city is to
obtain land worth $66, 600 needed for
the widening of the river, which In it
self entails the necessity of a four road
track bridge being built by the COM
pany, a bridge from the blum at the
Union depot over the railroad tracks
to the harbor Jocks east of the river,
and the expenditure by the company on
Whiskey Island, west Of the river, Of
S. 5000, 600 for harbor docks, warehouses
and loading and unloading machinery.
If the proposition is accepted It win
lead to the immediate utilization Of the
immense dock room on the lake front
within the east and west breakwater
structures.

BODY BLOW FOR DEBT SCHEME.


Again the taxpayers of Yves. Vir-
GINA can give thanks to the Democ-
racy for getting ahead of the Virginia
debt schemers and e~ffectually blocking
at the outset their plan to work the
old scheme through the present Legis-
lature. That body has such a ma3nif-
icent and untrammelled Republican
working majority in both branches
that the Wall street spectators had
no idea that aught but plain sailing
lay before them in their effort to sad
die a debt of millions we do not owe
onto this State. So secure were they
in the belief that everything was just
as they wanted it and SO absolute was
the power of the bosses at Charleston
that Senator Campbells little resolu-
ton was slipped in on them before they
knew what was up. 1t caught them
totally unprepared and Of course no
Senator daring to oppose the resolution
solemnly declaring it the of the
Legislature that we do not W a dol
lar Of the Virginia debt and declining
to take any steps in the matter, it
went through unanimously.
To Democratic vigilance, shrewdness
and honesty has been due the regular
defeat Of this scheme in past Legisla-
lures, notably in the last Legislature.
and to Democratic promptness and
watchfulness of the peoples interests
are the taxpayers again indebted that
this threatening spectre is laid for at
least another two years.
