TO RELIEF.
Mrs. Anna R. Atwood Entitled
10 h, Courl Declares.

The appellate division of the supreme
court I'm an opinion handed down today
I'm the case Of Annie II. Atwood vs. Will
liam l.. Arnold. ct AL holds that the
complainant is entitled to the relief pray
ed for.
Complainant has an inchoate right of
dover In an individual half OF the Appon-
aug hotel estate owned by the respond
ent Arnold. Two mortgages on the es-
tate are held by Nellie j. Charlton, but
as the answer admits they were trans
ferred 10 her In part by funds advanced
by Arnold and they are under his control
one OF these mortgages was made by
the complainants husband before her
marriage and the second after her mar
riage, In which she released dover Mrs.
Atwood asked for permission to redeem
the mortgages and To have them assigned
to her so she could protect her right of
dover. The question raised was whether
she had the right 10 redeem. as the re-
spondent, Arnold objected on the ground
that the mortgages are necessary TO pro-
tect his interest and title and hence his
equity is stronger than that of the COM
plainant.
Chief Justice stiness writes the opinion
OF the court. In which he says: Although
an inchoate right Of dover is not an es-
tate, but only right of action. stu IL
is In the nature Of lien upon real es-
tate, and is treated as an sncumbrance
TO be protected A right 10 redeem being
established, General Laws, cap. 2O1, sec 4
provides for an assignment OF the mort
gage In lien of subrogation I'm equity
The only question raised i'm this case Is
the balancing of equities.
After reviewing the facts the chief JUS
tice continues: 1T Is enough 10 say
that II these mortgages are 10 be treated
as a part OF the consideration paid for
the estate. and SO. 20 that extent, exempt
from dover. by reason Of the release, the
equity remains and can be applied when
dover Is claimed. II no such equity
exists I'm favor Of the owner payment
does not harm him. We are, therefore,
unable TO see any prevailing equity In
favor of the owner. But II he had IL we
DO not see how II could avail. because
he stands I'm the place OF the mortgagor
aud the statute provides that the requi-
sltion of an incumbrance shall prevail
over that OF "A mortgagor one Is not taxi
en- to be an incumbrance on his own
prOperty''

SUNK.
Reported 10 Have Gone 10 the
Bolton After Collision With
Bigger Schooner.

There "a a three-masted schooner at
the bottom OF the sea. about ~ miles
south of Fcnwick lightship, but whether
or not the crew was saved is not known.
This sad intelligence reached this port
today and the story is that at an early
hour on Wednesday morning a hve-mast-
ed and a three masted schooner came to-
gether at the point mentioned and few
minutes later nothing OF the smaller ves-
sci could he seen.
The hye-masted schooner is supposed TO
be the Fanny Palmer from Newport
News. with a cargo OF coal for this port,
and as she has been sighted nearby she
the next "a hours.
Those who sighted her state that she
looks as IL she had met with an accident
and this fact and the further one that
she was due at the point where the coll
lision happened leads many TO believe she
collided with the three master
Those who witns ssgd the collision do
not care TO BE- the first TO report the case
and I'm fact cannot say much more than
they saw the collision and that the larger
vessel after the three-ma stcr went out OF
sight dropped her anchor and little later
sailed about the spot where the schooner
is supposed to have gone down.
The wind was blowing gale and such
a thing as launching a small boat was
out OF the question. IL was for this rea-
son the larger vessel sailed about the
scene I'm hopes OF picking up any of the
crew who might be struggling I'm the
water.
SO far as could be seen with marine
glasses no one was picked up, but as IL
was just before daylight not much could
be seen.
The name OF the Inflated schooner is
not known, but IL is presumed that she
was British vessel, bound for New
York.
