DOCTORS VERDICT .x>.-=
NOT AN ESTOPPEL
Court Holds That Case for DAMAGES
Against Physician Must Go
on Calendar.

In an order filed by Judge Lewis in
the district court yesterday, in the
case of George LIE Brande against DR..
w. D. Kelly, the motion or the defend
ant for the dismissal of the case on
the grounds of an estoppel by judg-
ment was denied, and the case was or
dered on the calendar for the October
term of court.
The plaintiff in the action brought
suit to recover heavy damages for the
death of his wife, due, as alleged in the
complaint, to the negligence of the
defendant, who was. employed as ply
sician in the case. Prior to this the
defendant had brought suit in the mu-
nicipal court, through an assignee, to
recover $187 as doctors fees, and Sc
cured verdict, Notwithstanding the
fact that the defendant set up claim,
in defense, that the services were of
no value whatever. This verdict DR..
Kelly considered as an estoppel, and
accordingly motion was made for the
dismissal of the case.
But Judge Lewis held that DR.. Kelly
was not party to the SUIT IN the mu-
nlcipal court, as it was brought in the
name of an assignee, George MacVey
Had the suit been brought in the name
of DR.. Kelly the objection on the
grounds of a judgment might have
been sustained. The memorandum of
the court is as follows:
Il am satisfied that the matters
mere found do not amount to an estop-
pei by judgment or otherwise. This
defendant was not a party to the ac-
ton brought in the municipal court
nor was he cited in by MS assignee
the plaintiff, in that suit, to defend
against the charge of negligence. made
by LIE Brande. Had judgment gone
against plaintiff in that suit and he
had sought to recover of his assignor.
DR.. Kelly, such judgment would not
be binding on this DEFENDANT for the
reason that he was not in any sense
a party to it nor asked, nor permitted,
so Tar as appears, to defend against
the charges there made.
The fact that he was offered as a
witness by and gave evidence for the
plaintiff, McVay, was not sufficient to
bind him and make him responsible
for the result
Again, if this plaintiff, LIE Brande.
had established in that suit his defense
OF negligence on the PARK or this de-
1enoant and so prevented a recovery
would he be heard to say that this de-
fendant was thereby aestopped in this
suit to deny negligence or want of
skill? 10 such suggestion this defend
ant would enter a vigorous protest.
rightly claiming that he had not had
MS DAY in court or opportunity to
make his defense. Estoppels by iudg-
inent, however, are mutual, and, since

all the money that is paid out by the
plant is spent in st. Paul. In the spring
we contract with the farmers for their
vegetables Here are our contracts for
this year" Mr.. Gedney took out fat
bundle of papers and separated the
leaves showing the contracts. "When
the farmer brings in his load-he is not
very apt to leave the city without ex-
pending the larger portion of the sum
received in the stores Of the city.
If there were no such market in this
city for the farmers surplus stock he
would not raise it. Everybody remem-
bers the time when the roads about ST.
Paul.Were in such bad condition that
it was almost impossible for a farmer
to bring his products to the city. On
that account, perhaps, there were very
few farmers at our market. Then our
county commissioners became ener-
getic and set about repairing the roads
in order to induce the farmers to come
to ST Paul to trade. The next thing to
do in order to make the farmers come
here was to provide a market for their
products. The city offered inducements
to men who would start plants similar
to this factory, and the result is that
farming community and retail trade
have been benefited greatly.
Amazing Statistics.
Figures like comparisons are odious,
but figures furnished by Mr.. Gedney
in regard to his pickle factory are in
teresting. There have been I25 more
acres of vegetables contracted for this
year than last year. From the farmers
about St Paul last year there were
hauled in by team to the st. Paul fac
tory the following amounts of Vege-
tables: 10000 bushels of cucumbers,
59S920 pounds of cabbage, 1883
mounds of onions 12496 pounds of dill,
1894, pounds of cauliflower, 5,602
pounds of horseradish roots, max
ing in all about $4,000 barrels, OF
$50 carloads of pickles and. kraut
These contracts resulted in the pay
ment to farmers in the vicinity of ST
Paul Of a large amount of money for a
crop for which they would have nc
market were there not a pickle factory
here. This year the factory has con-
tracted with farmers in the vicinity Of
st. Paul to haul to ST. Paul the product
of 425 acres of cucumbers. An average
crop from this will be about $4,000
bushels for which the factory pays the
highest price of any pickle factory in
the West, so cents per buShel. Farm
ers come to the city three times a week
for about eight weeks to bring theil
vegetables. Each time they receive
cash payments, spending it generally
in the city stores before their return.
Although, so far as this particular
factory is concerned, it's pay roll is not
what brings the most benefit to the
city, yet that pay roll is by no means
an unimportant factor in that benefit.

EGGS STILL SOARING

Year Ago People Have Single
Comfort of Cheaper Fruits and Veg
etabIes-Living Third Higher Than
in 1901.

For the first time in her history the
busy American hen has to confess that
she is worried by an attempt to corner
the egg market. This has heretofore
been supposed an impossible task, but
it begins to look as if it was at hand
The meat trust has progressed steadily
during the past week in it's efforts to
corner the egg market, according to
the testimony of commission men.
The Industrious hen is almost unable
to keep ahead of the Industrious buyer
who is abroad in the land in the meat

eggs in the country, even to those the
farmer had saved for his own break

ha double tracks along the river bank
or a little over block, where it joins
the main track. This track is in use
mostly in the winter time. 1t is then
that the fiat cars come down to the
factory laden with their brine-steeped
vegetables. 1t is in, winter, also, that
the cars are busiest carrying barrels
of pickles away from the factory.
Keeping Factory Clean.
But to return to the factory itself:
Aside from the task of looking after
the various vegetables and making
them into pickles, the. sanitary care
of the factory is Of no mean concern.
During the slack times the great watts
are each in turn thoroughly cleansed.
Because of their size, this is no4snlall
task. Besides the watts the nets for
picking up the pickles must be, cleaned
and, if necessary, repaired Some of
the watts have to be heated. For in
stance, in the manufacture of sweet
pickles it is necessary that the liquid
in which they are soaked be warm. The
heating is done by means of steam
pipes, and these pipes must also be
kept thoroughly cleaned. A smoke
consumer is one Of the important adj
|, juncts of the factory. No dense cloud
| of black smoke is ever seen rising from
| it's chimneys. The vats in which all
| the picking is done are of wood. and
in order to prevent the pickles from
tasting of this wood the big tanks are
covered thickly with a coat of parafine.
To coat one Of the big vats is a days
work in itself. -
The building of a great manufactur-
| ing plant is work of slow growth.
Every year, however, sees its increase.
| On its growth depends - the city's
| growth for such plants are the back
bone of town. ST. Paul is especial
| ly fortunate in the inducements she
! is able to offer such plants, and doubt
! less that is one reason why she has
been SO successful in keeping them, at
| her door, and we would add that it
would be a great mistake to allow any
of our present factories to be driven

With eggs and meat soaring sky
wards and butter one-fourth more
than a year ago, it is a great comfort
at any rate to know that fruit is plenti-
full and comparatively cheap. Oranges,
bananas and small fruits are cheaper
than they We're a year ago. Potatoes
are also cheaper by about so per cent.
Cabbage, cucumbers, corn and peas
are cheaper and beans dearer than a
year ago. Altogether, on the present
basis of things, everyday living is
fully 80 per cent higher today than it
was one year ago today.

MORE TROUBLE THREATENED.
Report That Stationary Engineers WtlI
 Refuse to Handle Coal.

Chicago. Oct. 23.-President Morton, of the International Association of Sta tionary Engineers and Bremen, stated to-day that all members of the associ- ation all over the country would be or dered to refuse to handle any anthra- cite coal until every member affected by the anthracite strike is reinstated on the basis on which the miners re- turned to work.
 The brotherhood has membership of 14,000 and has local unions in 114 towns and cities. President Morton declared that his organization was in position to shut out hard coal in all cities where it had local unions, and said that such action would be taken, if necessary, for the protection of members of the union who had lost their positions on account of the anthracite coal strike.
 This is President Morton's view of the situation: According to all reports from the eastern mines, our men are getting the worst of it, and while the miners are being reinstated, they are left out in the cold.'
 President Morton added Our organ ization does not propose allowing it's members to be victimized, and as we cannot call a strike at the mines, non union men seeming to be in possession of the jobs, we will attempt to secure the reinstatement of our members by shutting out anthracite coal wherever we can.
 Although it is true that majority of the firemen are members of the min CTS union. because they were forced into that organization, they have re- tained their membership in our union and have already asked for our assist ance. We propose to give it to them."

 Brought to This City. \

George W. Lane, a florist about twen- ty-five years of age, living on Campbell avenue, West Haven, and a member of the New Haven City Guard, when in Wallingford yesterday and while at the depot awaiting the arrival of the train. for New Haven, walked up to young lady standing at the depot with F. c, St. Clair of Meriden, and grabbed a fine bracelet from her wrist. Sergeant Landy of Coloney Sucher's staff was standing near. at the time and saw the incident. He asked Lane to hand the bracelet back and the request was re- fused, whereupon Landy, who is a su- pernumerary of the local police force, placed Lane under arrest and brought him to New Haven.
 James J. Clark of 226 Washington avenue was in company with Lane at the time of the occurrence, and he was also brought along, not under arrest, but simply~as witness. At the police headquarters here last night the stolen bracelet, several knives and forks, evil dently souvenirs of the occasion, and seventeen cents in money were taken from Lane. He said that the seventeen cents was all that he had left of $15 which he had when he started for Wall lingford yesterday morning. He was locked up and charged with theft from person.

STEEL WORKERS, PROPOSITION
One Counter to the Owners Which Wni
 be Accepted.


 Pittsburg, Pa., Oct 2S.-The proposi- tion made by the American Tin Plate company to the tin workers of the Amalgamated association which has been under discussion for the past five or six months has been met with a counter proposition, which was made to-day by the delegates representing the tin lodges of the association in spec ial convention here. The counter propo- sition provides fora general reduction in wages of per cent. The proposition of this company was that the men should work up the orders to fill the draw back trade at a rate of 25 per cent be- low regular rates of wages. It is stat. ed tonight that the American company will accept the counter proposition without hesitation.
 On the counter proposition made to- day the vote showed Al delegates in favor and 27 against. The proposition was at once forwarded to the Ameri can Tin Plate company, and reply is expected tomorrow.
 The object of the reduction is to enable the American manufacturers, who order large amounts of tin plate which is imported into this country and after being made up into packages for other products is again exported thus saving a rebate of 99 per cent. in the tariff paid upon. it under the Dingley tariff bill The greater part of the plate purchased for the Standard Oil com pany and manufactured in Wales,where wages and conditions are such that the cost of the plate delivered in this coun- try minus rebate on tariff Is much less than the cost of American tin plate.

NEW YACHT MEASURING SCHEME
New York Yacht Club Adopts Important
 Changes.

New York, Oct. 2S.-The New York Yacht club adopted tonight the report of the committee appointed in Febru- ary last to revise the present racing rules with reference to the measure ment of racing craft. The principal change effected is the introduction of the factor of hull displacement, with the factors of lengths and sail area pre- viously considered. The formula, as it now stands, reads as follows:
 Length multiplied by square root feet of all sail area, divided by five times cube root of displacement" Di- rections with reference to the measure ment of the various sails in all craft are given.
 The committee of measurements, which consisted of S. Nicholson Kane, c. Oliver Iselin, w. Butler Duncan, jr., A. Cass Garfield, Edward Morgan, Archibald Rogers and several others, announced in it's report that it had cor resopnded with designers and builders in Europe and America, to whom ques- tions were addressed relative to the ad- visa bility of the club changing it's rules, to the possibility of formulating rules which would result in a wholesome type of boats adapted to yachting in this country, what system of measurement would be conductive of best results and to the possibility of forming an inter national standard. In all cases favor able answers were received, except that some doubt was expressed about the in- ternational standard.
 The New York Yacht club elected Emperor William and Prince Henry of Prussa honorary members tonight. King Edward has long been on the clubs rolls.
