Ia . recent Green Bag, Samuel SEQ
VILE, Jr., sets forth this country's
earliest known csse Of judicial cogni.
xsnce Of kissing. There !. not, -
generally believed, any reference 70
Os ,ulation In Roger Ludlow's code Of
1850, better known - the ''Connocti-
cut Blue Laws" But the csse Of the
People W. Murine, heard by The gov.
ernor Of New Haven colony 10 council
on May day, 1880. indicates the lati.
tude toward unlicensed kissing In those
times.
The governor, having frst examined
Jacob Murline and Sarah futile pri.
vStely, brought them into court upon
the following statement Of facts:
On the day on which John Potter
Was married. Sarah futile went 70
Mistress Murline's house for some
thread. Whereupon her son, Jacob
Murline. came In aud took up Sarah's
gloves. She desired him TO give her
the gloves. which he answered he wonld
II she would give him . kysse, upon
which they st down together, his
srmc being about her Waste, and her
srme about his neck. and he kyssed
her and she kyssed him, Or they kyssed
one another, for about the space Of
half an hour. which Marlin Murlsne
In court AHMED ~ be 80.
Jacob, II 10 To be observed with re.
gret, tried 70 throw the blame on So.
rsh. saying he thought she hse ''with
intent let fall her gloves" Sarah de.
MED the intent. Jacob then admitted
that he 'tooke her by the hand and
they both set down on . chest, but
whether he kysssd her or she kyssed
him, he knows not. for he.never though
~ Il since until Mr.. Raymond told
him that he had not layed Il To heart
~ he ought"
Jacob was plainly one of those men
who kiss and forget, and Sarah
promptly declared that ''she did not
kiss him, but would not say whether
he had kyssed her or no." SsrSh's
father thereupon testified that ia.
cob had ends svered TO steal away
his daughters affections" Sarah,
properly r~esenting the imputstion that
50 forgetful . man could have any
claim u he, regard, ''testifed that he
had not stolen her said affections"
This closed the evidence.
The governor. In summing up, told
Sarah that her Ofense was the great.

told Jacob that ''his carriage hath
been :ery evil aud sinful. and to make

sarah protested repentance, and ''hOp.

seems to have been unrepentant.

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 7.-Early yester-
day morning the Weum Watt compa.
ny's big Wholesale notion and sta
tionery house was destroyed. The
less on stock is between $40, 900 and
$l50,000; insurance on stock 1923 900
and on fixtures 81 900. The building
was owned by c. H. Porritt and was
recently erected at a cost of $23, 900,
and was fully insured.
The origin OF the fire is somewhat Of
a mystery, and there seems to be some
doubt as to whether the flames were
communicated from the furnace or
from defective electric light wires.
The flames had a big start before the
alarm was turned in, and gained ore
Roadway on account Of some delay in
the arrival of the fire department
from a confusion as to the alarm. A
large elevator shaft near the center Of
the building created such a draft that
there was no hope of saving the struc-
ture or the stock, and the fire depart
ment of this city, aided by that Of
Moorhead,
Had All It Could Do
to prevent the destruction of the Por.
rift block adjoining and Doyle's livery
barn in the rear. The stock of goods
Of A. Kjelman's tailoring establish
ment and E. j. Harrington, plumber,
were removed from the Porritt block,
with a large amount of furniture from
the fats above. All Of the stock and
rigs of Doyle's barn were removed.
The Weum Watt company's loss
falls especially heavy just at this time
of the year, when the firm was en-
gagged in shipments for the fall and
winter trade. The house has been es-
tablished here about two years, and
recently changed its name. The CON-
pany had removed a few weeks ago
into the new building erected especial
ly for its occupancy and was well es'
tablished. The members of the fr'n
announce they will continue in bust
ness. and will reopen as soon as 1t Is
possible to secure a location. Efforts
will be made to get the warehouse OF
one Of the big machinery companys
till a new building a be erectea. II
is probable that c. H. Porritt will re-
build the building Immediately. aud
the work can be completed before cod
weather.
