NO REARGUMENT.
Petition Of Wounsockst Bobbin
Co. Denied by tho Court

The appellate court has denied the de-
fendants petition for a reargument In
the case OF Louis Bernard VS.. Woonsocket
Bobbn company. In the rescript handed
down today the court says that "lnter-
preting the declaration to charge coll
lecting OF water i'm distinction from sur
face water flowing away as II fell. we
eaid that tho gravamen- of the counts
was the gathering and discharge OF water,
and that this was actionable. We used
the word discharge in its broad and gem
eral sense. The authorities cited make
no distinction between an Intentional ana
negligent discharge. IL Is equally dis
charge of water upon the property of an
other. whether 1t is turned upon il by
design, or being gathered so as TO be
liable to do injury, IL is negligently per-
mitted to escape. In either case the Ia
bility is the same and results from the
upon negligence"
Bernard was badly injured at Woon-
socket by falling on ice on the. sidewalk
I'm front OF the defendants premises.

TWO SUITS.
They AIIege Undue Influence on
Part Of E'asius 0. Salisbury.

The cases of Albin +. Salisbury ct al.
VS.. Erastus o. Salisbury and Dexter b.
Potter, administrators, VS. Erastus o. Sal
isbury were submitted 60 Chief Justice
Stiness and Justices Tillinghast and
Rogers today on respondents motions for
issues and jury trials. The controversy is
over the real estate and personal property
left by Sarah T.. Burlingame. It Is
claimed the respondent by undue influ-
ence got possession Of all the Burlingame
property.
The complainants asked that the cases
be heard on depositions to be submitted
20 the court and the respondent asked for
n Jury trial. Dexter B. Potter, counsel
for the complainants. urged that as there
were four physicians, whose testimony
must be taken. there would be much eX-
pense II n jury trial was granted. He
said that in view OF possible desagree-
ments the sending OF the case 20 jury
would practically mean "a denial OF jus
tice. Cases I'm which such points are in
volved are generally sent 20 a jury.
The court. after considering the mat
ter. decided that the jury should pass on
certain issues involved I'm the cases.
Sarah Burlingame was IS years old I'm 1901,
when she signed n deed OF her property
in the town Of Coventry TO Erastus o..
Salisbury.
The complainants I'm the first case aver
that when she signed the deed referred
TO she had been I'm feeble health and weak
In mind for over n year. They say that
the deceased supposed she was signing a
paper requesting the appointment OF
guardian. The complainants later had a
guardian appointed and they charge that
when the guardian sent a physician TO
the respondents home. at Anthony. where
the Burlingame woman was, TO ascertain
her physical and mental condition. the
physician was refused admission 10 the
house
All the personal property OF deceased,
including household furniture.' glass and
silyerware, IL claimed by respondent un-
der a bill OF sale from the deceased. Mr..
Potter asks 20 have the bill set aside

The president holds that the retro
grade movement had no effect upon the
battle of Santiago. He declares that
even If schIey could be blamed for yacil-
lating conduct during the period he was
in independent command prior to the ar
rival OF Sampson no reproach should now
attach to him, as the navy department
condoned his offence.
The president contends that Schley's
action before the arrival of Sampson
should have been punished by removal
from command or else entirely over
looked. He does not go into this feature,
for the reason, he says, that Secretary
Longs failure 10 relieve Schley Of COM
mand determined that question forever,
and IL should not have been reopened.
If the retrograde movement was a Sc
rious error of judgment, IL was followed
by no evil consequences. and should not
be brought forward TO dim the lustre of
a subsequent brilliant action.
SANTIAGO THE ONLY ISSUE.
In summing up the president deals only
with the battle OF Santiago. This, he
holds. is the only point at issue. lie con-
tends that Schley was not I'm command
during the battle aud made no such
claim for himself until recently. Samp-
son. the president finds, was technically
I'm command. and his responsibility was
not lcssened by the fact that he was alb
sent
The president finds that the battle OF
Santiago was fought by tho captains OF
the various vessels engaged on general
lines laid down by Sampson. lie holds
that IN no instance did any one or the
ships act under any general orders or
specific signals from Schley.
The president believes Schloy was guilty
OF a serious tactical Plunaer IN making
baye tnS bSSS ial,sr \ ySntage Of by an alert
| enemy with seriohs conseuucnces
| lie decides that the Brooklyn was not
| In danger Of being rammed, but that as
| the loon bad no bad results IL can be

| In conclusion. the president finds Schley

TALE OF The SEA.
Capt. Hackstt Believed He Saw
Lost Steamship.

Halifax. n. s., Feb. 17.-After 30 years
the newspapers of the province are max
ing public what is believed to be inform
alton concerning the lost Inman line
steamer City OF Boston. The steamship
which sailed from Halifax for Liverpool
on Feb. 2, 1870, with large number of
passengers, never reached port and 1t was
believed by many that she struck an
iceberg and foundered, while others held
force of storm which sprang up the
day she sailed and foundered.
All these years 1t had been generally
supposed that the City of Boston had
never been sighted by any vessel after
leaving Halifax on that day. The North
Sydney Herald now states that there is
reason TO believe that the steamer was
seen during the storm well off the Cape
Breton coast and was not lost by striking
an iceberg. as many thought.
The North Sydney Herald says: The
late Thomas Hackett of this town was
on a voyage In a schooner from ST.
Johns, n. F., to this port, and in the
storm mentioned passed a steamer i'm dis
tress. The steamer was firing rockets.
Captain Hackett could render no assist
ance as his vessel had all she could do to
live in this fearful storm.
The crew of the schooner watched the
distressed steamer until all the lights
disappeared and all on board concluded
that the steamer went down. Captain
Hackett believed that this steamer was
the ill-fated City of Boston.
Taking the date she steamed out of
Halifax she should have been in the
vicinity of the distressed steamer at the
time the schooner passed. There were
no newspapers published i'm Cape Breton
at that time, which accounts for the
schooner's report not being made public.
The late Captain Hackett was a reserved
man and talked very little about his ex-
periences at sea.

Last week there was lady in the rltv
Irom Wlnnna and out of curiosity she
went to the furniture stores in the CITY
to price certain articles and she found
IN one Of the stores piece of furniture
that was identical with the one that she
had picked out at home to buy for Christ
mas, pricing it she found that she could
pay the freight and still be money ahead
On the bargain so she had it sent to her
home at Winona. This statement is
made that the people who trade in this
city may see that they are getting things
at tbe very lowest possible prices.
The dissolution of the snow which was
Iexpected to be such a boon too trade just
at the time that it was most needed cast
quite g damper on the business done in
the city the last of the week and there is
no doubt but that it effected the sales
materially. The warm weather Of the
last three days of the week was some
thing quite remarkable and it looks as
though kind providence was tempering
the weather to the shorn lamb and max

FRUITLEsS CONFERENCE.
Cuban Problem No Nearer Solution
Than Before.

nan 6CIOFC.
Washington, June 20.-The confer
ence of Republican senators on the
Cuban reciprocity question resulted in
no action, and an adjournment was
taken until Friday afternoon. For two
hours the senators on both sides e.
pressed their views, and no ATTEMPT
was made to reach a compromise or
have a show of strength. The propo-
siti0n of treaty to be negotiated by
the president was not discussed. The
whole talk was on the general prOpO-
SitiOn Of reciprocity with Cuba and the
necessity for the senate taking action
upon some form of legislation at thi:
session. Seventeen senator's, one after
another, announced unalteTable oppo-
sition to a reduction Of the duty on
Cuban sugars, and announcement was
made that two others not present stood
with them.
1t was the general opinion after th2
conference that this session Of co.,
gress would adjourn without Cuban
reciprocity legislation of any sort
The seventeen beet sugar senators
present each made a speech, saying
that he would not support the SpOonc?
bill or any measure Of that character"
Statements were made for Senators
Simon (Ore.) and Mason Gll.) to TIL
effect that they thoroughly agreed wit!2
their colleagues in opposition to tn
reciprocity bill. The nineteen senators
thus accounted for are:
Perkins and Bard of California
Mitchell and Simon of Oregon, Foste"
of Washington, Gamble and Kittredge
of South Dakota, Nelson and Clapp of
Minnesota, Dietrich and Millard of Ne
braska, Elkins and Scott of West Vir-
ginia, Jones and Stewart of Nevada,
Burton of Kansas, Barrows of Michi-
gan, Mason of Illinois, and Wellington
of Maryland.
