new TRIAL DENIED.
Appellate Courts Decision In the Case Of
Mc6Oran Against Consolidated Road.

Judge Johnson today handed down the
opinion OF the appellate division OF the
supreme court in the case OF William
McGoran VS.. New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company This was an
action Of trespass in the case for negli-
gence brought by William McCioran in
his life time TO recover damages for in
juries received by him on the 18th day
OF November, 1889 while crossing a track
OF the defendant in Pawtucket IN con-
sequence OF his wagon being struck by a
train
In August 1901, Mr.. McGoran died and
the executor OF his will Margaret Nc
Goran entered her appearance in the
case. The presiding justice In the com
mon pleas division at the conclusion OF
the plaintiffs testimony directed the jury
to return verdict FOR the defendant.
This direction is sustained by the ap-
pellate court The, petition OF the plain
tiff for a new trial is denied.
IL was shown at the trial that at the
time the railroad was built In ISIS the
way which is now Webster street with
the land through which IL ran belonged
TO Terrence DAILY. who In his conveyance
TO the railroad company reserved right
10 himself his heirs and assignees TO use
this way over the tracks which were TO
be laid down by the railroad company;
that DAILY sold lots to people along the
street and these people used the way;
that i'm 1898 the street was laid out as a
highway by the city Of Pawtucket.
Judge Johnson calls attention TO the
statute passed in 1890. providing that no
new grading crossing should be estab-
lished without the consent OF the railroad
commissioner In writing. and that x does
not appear such consent was obtained
when Webster street was laid out by the
CITY OF Pawtucket. In fact. he finds that
permission was refused 10 establish a
crossing at this place.
HIS honor also finds that the defendant
corporation was not obliged 20 have a
nagman az this crossing. The city coun-
ell OF Pawtucket in 1896 ordered a hag-
man placed at all grade crossings In
the city. but Judge Johnson says this
order could only be enforced as 20 public
highways.
''The testimony fails 10 show due care
on the part of William McGoran." Judge
Johnson says. at the time OF the acci-
dent" The testimony showing he had a
clear view Of the track from tue crossing
for 100 feet in the direction In which
the train was coming and that the whistle
was blown at Coyle avenue, about ~
feet away and that McGoran did not stop.

FARRELL
REFUSED
new TRIAL
Appellate Court Holds Lower
Court Did Not Err In Direct
Ing a Verdict for Defendant.

A new trial has been refused In the
trespass and ejectment suit brought by
Richard c. Farrell against the William
II. Low Estate company by the appel
late division OF the supreme court. Mr..
Farrell claimed certain land under a
lease from Francis Cranston. and sought
to get possession OF It in this way.
The case involved the location OF the
boundary line between the lands OF the
plaintiff and defendant. The deed under
which the plaintiff claimed bounded his
land northerly upon land OF Thomas
Coles predecessors in title OF the defend
ant. An agreement between the owners
OF the estate now owned respectively by
the plaintiff and the defendant was made
in 1877, fixing the line between s<id es-
tates AS "a straight line east and west at
the distance of sc feet south OF West
minister street"
In the rescript handed down today the
appellate court says: The testimony
offered by the plaintiff shows that the
plat of the original layout OF Westminster
street has been lost, and that prior 10 ,he
esta blishment OF the lines OF said street
by the city OF Providence In 1897 there
was great uncertainty as to the location
OF the southerly line thereof
BY reason OF said uncertainty the plain
tin was unable to show the looati OF
said line at the date OF the agreement
above mentioned. There II also no proof
OF the line OF occupation AT the con-
clusion OF the testimony for the plaintiff
a verdict for the defendant was directed
by the presiding justice.
AS the plaintiff must recover n at ALL
on the strength OF hts own title, a ver-
dict for the defendant was rightly d.
rected Petition for new trial denied and
case remanded % the common pleas di-
vision with direction to enter Judgment
upon the verdict"

KEEP YOUR EYES ON TUESDAY
NEXT.

For il is election day, and while no
president is to be elected il is still cleo
ton day and all elections are impor-
taOt ones. We have to select on that
day our county officials, and they
come nearer to US Of all officials, and
our State Legislators, and what they do
effect Us more intimately than does
the work Of the national legislators.
But If We are wrong in this then let
us remind you that we do have TO
make fight for the presidency next
year and to be in good condition for
that general engagement il behooves
us to bear ourselves as good soldiers in
this. lfnoue Of the aspirauts had OPP
position We would still say 20 to the
polls and keep in the good habit Of 60
ing whenever duty beckons that way.
But there is opposition even now
and it should be promptly met and
mastered.
Ofsll factors in politics perhaps the
INDEPENDENT is most TO be feared.
No man has the right to plume him
self on his independence who comes .
before his fellow citizens asking their
support and confidence. The mere
asking confesses his dependence and
no man can be two things or occupy
two places at one and the same time

pose Of the INDEPENDENT is TO
strike at that. Allow him to bruise it
