FoNrANo's APPEAL UPHELD.
The st. Matthew'S Altar Case Ordered
to u New TrInl.


In the case Of Primo Fontano against
Mary Helen Carroll Robbins to recover
s.. .SSS 10 for damages on account of a con-
tract, the Court Of Appeals yesterday re-
versed the judgment of the Supreme
Court of the District and remanded the
case for a new trial.
This was All action brought in the court
below to recover damages for time lost
and expenses incurred by Foutano in
putting up the marble altar in the chapel
of St. Anthony Of PaGua, which was pre-
sented by Mrs. Mary Helen Carroll to St.
Matthews Church Of this city.
The delay was caused by the incomplete
condition Of the church. which prevented
Fontano, who came here from Italy. from
beginning OF completing his work within
the time specified in the contract. For
this loss incurred suit was brought, but
the case was not allowed to go to the
jury, the court below alleging that the
agreement in the contract TO submit the
differences arising to arbitration consti-
tuted u condition precedent TO Fon-
tano 5 right Of action.
This opinion has been reversed by the
Court of Appeals. which holds that, under
the circumstances, such an 0ffeTSOn the
part OF FOntano to submit his loss to ar
bitratlOn was unnecessary, and that he
was entitled 10 bring his action without
any such submission TO arbitration.
The court below also held that although
Mrs Robbins was designated as owner
in the contract. such was not the case
she being merely the donor Of the chapel
10 the church and in no sense the owner
| of the chapel. This opinion is also re-
| versed by the Court Of Appeals, which
| holds that as far as Fontano was con
| Cerued she (AIrs. Robbins was the

South: THE real South is just at it's
nation may be gradual but in the end
the South will be far richer and more
powerful than the North. In the days
to come the South will become the
dominant section of the country With
out the war of secession the South
could never have hoped to attain the
future that is now certain. Slavery
was great incubus. paralyzing
natural energy. BY abolshing this
wrong our war benefited every state
south of the Mason and Dixon line.
The negroes are producing more as free
men than they ever did as slaves. and
the great mass of the people are vast
ly better off today than they were in
der the old ante bellum svsten :.
Colonel Mosby may be a triAe more
optimistic than the facts warrant. Int
it is not to be doubted that the war
with its abolition of slavery was The
salvation of the South and that its
prospects We're never so good as now
1t will have to outgrow some of its
political bgotry. however. before it,
