The Dust of Ocean.

A "dusty" ocean highway sounds al
most incredible. Yet those who are
familiar with sailing ships know that
no matter how carefully the decks may
be washed down in the morning and
how little work of any kind may be
done during the day nevertheless if the
decks are not swept at nightfall an
enormous quantity of dust will quickly
collect. OF course on the modern
elmer" the burning Of hundreds Of tons
Of coal every "a hours and the myriads
Of footballs daily would account for a
considerable accumulation Of dust, but
on wind TANNER" manned with q
dozen hands or less, no such dust pro.
ducing agencies are at work. And yet
the records Of sailing ships show that
they collect more sea dust than does a
steamer, which is probably accounted
for by the fact that while the dust
laden smoke blows clear Of the steamer
the large area Of canvas spread by the
sailer acts as q dust collector.-Mari.

Argued Before the Full Bench
in the Campbell Case. /
CampbaIIs Claim That Law Under Which
Railroad Company Seeks TO Take
Their Land is Invalid.

were before the court:'what does this
act mean? and Is the act a proper one for
the General Assembly to pass?
Judge Tillinghast of Tillinghast IL Till
inghast, counsel for the Campbells, urg-
ed that the purpose for which the land is
taken was necessary part or the record
TO be considered in the deciding or the
question OF constitutionality of ths law
before the court.
The land sought to be condemned. he
claimed, is of peculiar contour and was
wanted by the petitioner for power
house and was conveniently situated and
that the question thus presented TO trial
court was not the necessity but the con-
venience OF the land.
The first constitutional contention Is
that the statute Is invalid because II per-
mits condemnation OF land for any cor
porate purposes" and does not limit the
right TO public purposes.
A very careful collation. OF authorities
on the right OF eminent domain and those
who can exercise that right was present.
ed and IL was urged that even II Il Is ad-
mitted that the need of a power house Ia
public one in general, It does not by
any means follow that this land is neces-
sary for the purpose. or that the petit
toner may condemn il for that purpose.
MR.. ANGELL'S ANSWER.
WI r. AnEcils E<hWuihS <hH-
gell, counsel for the railway. argued that
the act of the General Assembly under
which the condemnation Is sought Is not
obnoxious TO the Rhode Island constitu-
tion. because IL Is not invalid on the
ground that the taking OF property there
with is not limited to public purposes
and that by the true construction or the
act the taking of property hereunder 10
limited TO public purposes.
Mr.. Angell's brief contained number
OF authorities in regard TO his contention
and also many local cases in which the
court held part OF statute might be un-
constitutional and another part constitu-
tional.and possible to be carried into ef-
feet
Further points made by Mr.. Angel
We're that the taking OF the land sought
to be condemned is not shown to be for
a private purpose for the reason that the
public will have no right TO use the land
after II has been taken by the petitioner,
that there is "A necessity. and public ne
cessity for taking the land sought TO be
condemned. and the act In authorizing
such taking is not invalid.
The case was held for advisement.

The matter OF the condemnation Of GER
tain lands in this city by the Rhode ISL
and Suburban Railway company was con-
sidered by Chief Justice Stiness and JUS
tices Tillinghast, Rogers Douglas. Dubois
and Blodgett OF the supreme court today.
All the judges sat TO hear arguments
on the constitutional questions raised by
James Campbell and Rebecca Campbell
i'm relation TO the taking OF land owned
by them on Eddy street for power
house by the railroad.
Judge Blodgett last fall heard IN the
common pleas division OF the court two
petitions by the Rhode Island Suburban
Railway company under an act of the
General Assembly, passed May 4th, 1900.
lie decided the land was needed by the
company and could be taken under the act
OF May 4th.
An appeal from Judge Blodgett's de-
cision, and also an appeal TO test the con-
stitutionality of the act were taken by
the Campbels.
These formal points were made as rea-
sons for granting of new trial: u0 The
decision Is against the evidence; CD The
court erred i'm the Interpretation OF the
statute under which the proceedings were
had and its application to the facts
proved; go The court found the land
sought to Zoe condemned TO be necessary
within the meaning OF the statute.
whereas IL should not have been found
to be so under the evidence and true
construction OF the statute; a. The
court erred in deciding that the use for
which IT is sought 10 condemn these lands
is such public use as will sustain this
condemnation.

BY A SNOW SLIDE
Train Caught and Stalled Since
Monday Last at Alpine Tunnel

Buena Vista. Col. Jan. 9.--The Colorado
and Southern train from the Gunnlson
due here Monday evening was caught in
a snow slide at the Alpine Tunnel and
has been snow-bound ever since.
A rotary plow from Como is on the
way here but it is doubtful If It will be
able to accomplish anything as the
storm, which has been raging since Mon
day morning has increased and the re-
ports from the tunnel are to the effect
that the snow Is falling hard and being
driven with high winds.
The train Is a mixed freight and pas
senger. How many passengers there are
on the train, IL is impossible to find out.
Unless they are released soon, they will
suffer from hunger and cold.
The storm which began Monday even
ing has developed into a blizzard. All
trains on the Colorado, Midland and Rio
Grande are arriving i'm the city late and
the Colorado and Southern is attempting
TO run no trains on account OF the many
snow slides on its line between here ana
the tunnel.

MAYNARD
GIRLS IN
COURT.
GIaddls Hopkins and Margaret
MCKenna viii Be Tried
Next Friday.

Two wayward young women were be-
fore the Sixth District court today. on
the charge of being lewd and wanton In
speech and behavior.
Each pleaded not guilty and both were
held In $500 for trial next Friday.
They were Gladdis Hopkins and Mar
garet McKenna, IS and l6 years OF age,
respectively.
The Hopkins girl made this her debut
in the criminal court, and. I'm common
with the frail ones who make their first
plea, she was airy. impudent and brsssy
I'm ths extreme.
The other was Margaret McKenna, who
did not feel quite so confident of her
position. and. like the politician Just be-
fore an election, viewed with alarm"
the prospect.
These young women were arrested at
Centredaie, in North Providence, this
morning, and for the reason that Town
sergt. Kinnecom stood at a back door
from u d. m. until a. m and heard very
bad language.
The McKenna girl is literally tough
one.
She had been placed on probation, as
vagrant. and Miss Denehy, month ago,
asked Mr.. Kinnecom to arrest her. for
she was then living In house at Georgia
Vile.
When the town sergeant went TO the
house Margaret asked permission TO 60
to a room and properly attire herself.
He waited for her to appear, but as
she did not he went TO the room and dis
covered that Maggie had dropped out of
q window and made her escape.
Mr.. Kinnecom got open his wheel and
sprinted down the highway and after
travelling three miles, overlook and ar
rested the girl.
Maggie was brought before a1<Se
Sweetland, Miss Denehy surrendered her.
and the girl was sentenced 10 the oak
lawn school during her minority.
Subsequently she was bailed out on an
appeal and at once went back to her evil
associates.
Friday she will probably be sentenced
TO the farm.
