CONSTITUTION.
Work Of Splicing Broken Mast
Proceeding Rapidly.

AS a matter of precaution, I'm view Of
the severe storm last night, and the
strength OF the sea running in Bristol
harbor. an extra anchor was put out from
the Constitution. The yacht did not
drag i'm the least, and this morning the
anchor was taken7 aboard.
There Is scarcely any sign OF life
aboard the yacht today, and the few
members OF the crew who remain here
are making a leisurely time OF it.
In The shops, however, the men are hard
az work on the mainmast and spars. The
plates making ready for the splicing of
the big spar will soon be In position, and
IL likely that the repairs may be eeBa-
pleted little In advance of ~sle antici-
pated date.
AS the work OF the dismantled mast Is
being carried on Capt. Rhodes Is a much
ipterested spectator, spending many
hours each day watching the operations
proceed. He is anxious To see the Con-
stitution once more in Narragansett bay.
IL Is noticeable the number OF consulta-
tions Capt. Rhodes and Mr. Nat Here
shof. the designer hold at the pier and
in the shops.
With such good sailing weather the
Constitutions skipper chafes under the
delay There is little OF the work OF pre-
pairing spars and rigging for the yacht
that Capt. Rhodes does not see.
In the Herreshoff boat shops, where the
mainmast pieces are stretched out in line,
the buckled pieces of plates are nearly all
out OF the way, while the new sections
OF angie-frames and steel plating are be-
ing assembled near the spars.

few days ago for brief vacation have

STRUCK OFFICER.
Imagined He Was Being Fol-
lowed Fined Sis and Costs.

At o'clock Thursday morning Patrol
man Thomas j. Curley and another officer
were passing along North Main street
on their way home.
Near Abbott street they saw two men
who crossed the street AS the men met
the officers one of them said that he
was being followed by Curley and de-
manded TO know for what reason.
Curley nailed the second man and the
but before any explanation could be Of
fered the man struck Curley and knocked
him up against fence Then he yaulted
the fence and disappeared.
Curley hailed the second man and the
latter was fned FOR drunkenness The
identity OF the fugitive was then estab-
lished and Patrick Kelly, the man wanted,
WAS arrested.
This morning Kelly told Judge Sweet
land that there were four officers ia the
party, that he didn't cross the street
and did not hit anybody, and then he
pleaded guilty and was fined SIS and costs.

The case was one Of negligence and a
jury gave Gum verdict for $4,000. This
verdict the appellate court set aside be-
cause IL found it TO be against the evil
dencc.
Charles f. German, counsel for plain
tiff. took the case before the full court.
Mr. German argued that the original ju-
risdiction OF motions fora new trial must
constitutionally be- vested In the trial
court That a new trial cannot constitu-
tionally be- granted by the court substi-
tuting its opinion of the weight of the
evidences for that of the jury. The record
I'm this case shows that the ISSUE sub
mitted by the trial court 20 the jury was
sustained by uncontradicted testimony.
The point made by Mr. German was as
broad a one as has been in a long time
urged upon the supreme court, IL broadly
stated that the appellate court had no
right, where there was any evidence To
sustain a jury's verdict, 20 set that ver-
dict aside under the constitution OF this
state or the constitution of the United
States.
This action OF reversing the jury's ver-
dict Mr. German argued amounted to the
depriving a man OF property. He cited
many authorities on the subject 90 show
that the action OF the court In this state
was founded on a statement of the law
made by Blackstone which statement
was not founded on fact The jury

were under the law of this country the
Judges OF the fact in the case. This was
the right given the jury by the consti-
tuition. lie cited English cases i'm support
Of the supremacy OF the jury's verdict.
Gum was struck by "A car as he came
out from behind wagon from which he
had been unloading coal. Mr.. German ar
gued that the omission to provide AMI
guard against apprehended dangers con-
stitutes negligence and that a motorman
must recognize and apprehend the dam
ger arising from persons coming on 10
the tracks or i'm dangerous proximity TO

uuertfy, for what IL considers good fea-
sons, sets aside verdicts. III there is no
rational evidence or there is any corrup
ton or prejudice shown the verdict must
be set aside.
The case before the court Mr.. German
declared came within none of these
classes.
David s. Baker and Lewis A. Water
man, counsel for the defendant I'm their
brief argued that IL has been the univer-
sal practice at common law from time
immemorial 10 grant new trials because
the verdict was against the evidence and
that under the statutes of the state and
colony new trials have been had as a
matter of course and the granting of a
new trial i'm this case was not I'm viola
ton of the constitution OF this state or
that of the United states.

RETALIATION
May Follow Barring Out Of In
migrant Sufferers.

New York June s.-some Of the leading
physicians of this city think that the
order issued by r. V. Powderly, commits
sioner general of immigration, debarring
immigrants affected with tuberculosis Of
the lungs from entering the United States
may result in some countries adopting re-
taliatory measures
They further think that these probable
meausres may be OF such a nature that
consumptives who might be benefited by
a trip abroad may be compelled to stay
here, and that the stand taken by this
government in dealing with immigrants
having tuberculosis may. however, lead
10 action by states and municipalities
which would practically keep consump-
tivcs at home.
