Court Holds the City Suffer
ed no Actual Damage by
His Failure to put in the
Plant.
A Very Fine Point Raised
over a Conjunction and
Comma NuIlifieS the Penal
ty Clause.

Judge Burnett today sustained the de-
nurrsr in the suit Of the city Of Salem
We. +. r. Anson and the Baltimore bond
company for 5000 forfeiture, on account
Of failure to comply with terms Of a
charter given him oy the city oi Salem
to put in an electric light plant.
Holmes & Holmes represented the
city of Salem, and Ramsey & Bingham
the DEFENDANTS, whose demurrer was
sustained.
The contention Of the city was not for
damages but on the theory that failure
to perform worked q forfeiture Of the
obligation on the part Of Mr.. Anson, to
which the city was entitled as = matter
of Justice and protection in granting him
a valuable franchise. Without some
such protection the city would have no
security whatever for the performance
by grantee in any franchise that may be
issued.
I The court ruled that there had been
no actual damage done by Anson's fail
ure to perform his part Of the contract,
following case in the 2lst Oregon re-
ports. He construed the contract, re-
quiring the installation Of a 100 horse
power plant, and to have it in operation
on or before April !, as two distinct ob.
legations, and where there we're two
obligations, a failure to perform one
would not carry liqu'dsted damages.
The clause Of the Anson bond defining
his liability was rs follows, and on this
the city sued:
"Now therefore Il the seid f. r. An.
son, or his successors or assigns, shall
; we'll and faithfully, duly and fully, per
form, complete and discharge said con-
, tract upon bis OF their part to the eN-
7, tent Of installing within the 'aid city Of
Salem an electric plant having max
z imum capacity Of at least 100 horse
! power, AND shall have the same in actual
, operation and in condition TO furnish
electric lights and currents TO Gus
toners along the route Of its lines, upon
: the fret day OF April A. ID. 1901, ther
E this obligation shall be null and void
q and OF no effect, otherwise to remain IL
full force and virtue"
In constituting this clause Of the bon'
counsel for Anson and the bond com
pany maintained that the word "and'
after the comma in the middle Of th,
clause created two separate and distinc
obligations while the city claimed thi
clause constituted and could be con
strued as but one undertaking. Th'
decision Of the court is in effect a SUP
port OF the former contention, founded
on tho use Of tho word "and" as dis
= junction instead Of conjunction. The
!, comma is before the word and seemed tc
e carry the conviction more strongly il

fate, they hurried him roughly
along the stony road and soon came
to the clusters of bark lodges surround

woods, where the great city of Pitts

on the ground to. rest from the ia
tigues of the massacre, they conduct

with bark thong and threw him on
the ground, where he was left until
morning and slept soundly.
The next day he was taken early

an English captive was held in camp
and late in the afternoon caused him
to be taken to the fort, where he was
closely questioned. by the aid of an
interpreter, and the conclusion being
reached that he knew nothing of inn
portance concerning the future dis
position of the English forces he was
turned back to the bloody monsters
to whom by Indian custom he be-
longed. At night a great fire was
built near the tree to which Angus
was fastened and the merry demons
danced and leaped and shouted about
him in horrid glee, brandishing their
tomahawks and knives in his face with
fearful menaces, for he was the only
living captive they had among
the spoils of the battle and though he
was but boy they proposed to make
the most of him. While these cere-

The English Are UnmiIitary.

Partly from historical and partly per-
haps from racial causes the English
are essentially unmilitary. They resent
the control of soldiers. They distrust
military ideals. No government that
ever existed in this country was more
unpopular than that of Oliver Cromwell
and his major generals. Its unpopu-
larity left an indelible mark on English
institutions. For many years it made
1t impossible to have a standing army.
Even when the course of events made
it necessary to concede that much to
the military necessities of the time it
still remained q maxim for centuries
with all politicians that as little power
as possible must be granted to the SOL
dierS; that their business was to fight
our wars, and, this being done, that
there was little or no place for them in
the body polite.
We do not think it necessary to de-
fend this attitude of mind. Like most
popular feelings, it is largely unjust.
but also, like many popular feelings, it
is based to some extent OF a true con-
ception.- Politically, using the word in
its largest sense, the domination of the
military idea in a state is calamitous
1t tends, we believe, to destroy individ-
uality and is q serious menace to indi-
vidual liberty. = English Monthly Re-
view.

CHAPTER 6.
CAPTURED BY THE INDIANS.

Amid the scenes of ruthless carnage
about him, which the spirit of
mercy seemed utterly to have aban-
doned, Angus paved that he too
might be put to death and dreaded
only the torture he had reason to ex-
pect would be inflicted upon him.
Not doubling his benefactor's death,
knowing that if alive he would not
have delayed in reaching Dunbar's
regiment, Angus had one more great
sorrow to add to the loss of his par
ents. He suffered from a greater de-
preston of spirits than he had ever
yet experienced His captors gave
him several stinging slaps ON the face
and pinched his ears and cheeks with
their nails until the blood ran down
his neck, but he hardly noticed it or
knew what they were doing. They
took his endurance for bravery.

others, and for that, or perhaps be-

INTERNATIONAL
Complications Arising From the Wabash
Disaster at Cas-.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 12.-
Governor Durbin has been called
on by the department of state at
Washington to intervene in his
official capacity in a controversy
between the Wabash Railroad
company and the Italian govern
ment, which has been laid before
the federal authorities.
The letter to the governor says
that the representative of the
Italian consul at Chicago went
to theWabash railroad hospital at
Peru for the purpose of seeing
the Italian laborers who had
been injured in the Wabash
railroad wreck nearCass, in which
eight Italians were killed out
right, and several injured, and
that "this representative of the
consul was denied any communi-
cation whatever with the men
by the agent of the railroad COM
pany."
1t says the representative of
the consul had gone to the hos
pital for the purpose of aiding
his fellowscclntrymen, who had
arrived from Italy only two days
before the wreck, and cannot
understand word of English.
The Italian consul has declared
to the government that the in-
jured men need some one to look
after their interests, and there
fore request has been made of
the'department of state to inter
vene in the matter, with a view
to obtaining permission from the
local authorities for Consul Ros-
wadowski to render aid to the
hospital patients.
The letter asks Governor Dur
bin to take what action he deems
best under the circumstances to
aid "a friendly government"
