DEMURRER SUSTAINED.
Appellate Court Renders Decision In Casa
Kennedy Against Foster & Brother Co.

In the case of William j. Kenney VS..
Theodore W. Foster & Bro. Co, the ap-
pellate division OF the supreme court was
sustained the defendants demurrer to
the plaintiffs declaration. An opinion
handed down this case is as follows:
Per Curiam. The written agreement
under seal set out in the declaration
binds the defendant to furnish to the
plaintiff such samples as said party OF
the first part the defendant, shall deem
necessary and proper The quantity as
well as the quality OF the samples TO be
furnished I'm thus left to the Judgment OF
the defendant. The allegation that by a
verbal agreement made previously to the
written one the defendant because bound
TO furnish enough samples for trips OF six
weeks contradicts the written instrument.
The breach alleged is a breach OF the In
admissible verbal agreement not OF the
covenant set forth In the declaration"

TRIAL
Asks Appellate Court to Sst
Aside tho Verdict Of $4,000
Awarded Fox by Jury.

Chief Justice stiness and Justices
Douglas and Blodgett today heard the
petition of the defendant in the case OF
John ]. Fox vs Walter L. Clarke. city
treasurer of Providence. This was an
action TO recover damages for injuries
received by plaintiff owing to defect
In the highway known as Francis street
at the intersection OF Lincoln street.
On Sept. 2, 1901. the plaintiff was rid
ing down Francis street on bicycle and
the charge is that the city OF Providence
was guilty of negligence In permitting a
hole or depression some six or seven
inches In depth. one and one-half or two
feet in width. and about three feet In
length between the west car tracks and
the curbing ON Francis street so that
plaintiff was thrown from his bicycle
and badly hurt. This depression Is al
legged TO have been caused by the haul
! Ing of stuff to the new state house
grounds.
The accident occurred I'm the evening
! at about o'clock and the electric light
at this point being In such position
as to cast shadow over the hole or
depression. The defendant denied all
| knowledge OF the existence of the hole
i ana clalfntu ltS attention WAS 1Tbl Cilleu
| to the alleged defect 20 days after the
| accident. when the plaintiff filed the stat
utory notice of his injury at that place.
A jury gave the plaintiff a verdict for
| $4,000 Defendant fled petition for n
new trial on the grounds that the verdict
was against the law and evidence and
| the weight thereof and that the trial
Judge erred In refusing to. charge the
| jury as asked by the defendant and par
ticularly such Justice erred I'm refusing
TO direct a verdict for the defendant.
There was another ground set up by de-
fendant namely that OF excessive dam
ages, but II was not pressed.
| The discussion OF the case In court
| today proved very interesting because
counsel for the city claimed that the
city was not bound to use any further
care on its highways than to have them
safe for persons travelling in carriages or
teams or on foot. II being argued by
the city solicitor that Il would be a great
hardship on cities and towns to have
them safe for bicycllsts. Mr. Hogan
counsel for plaintiff. argued that IL the
city was bound to keep it's highways
reasonably safe for travel then the de.
fendant In this case was clearly liable
for the bicyclist certainly had som'
rights. II was further argued by Mr.
Hogan that the contention OF the cit.
was that the bicyclist had no right
whatever In the streets.

II you have farm name it. That's
the latest suggestion travelling about
in the rural districts, and 1t deserves
to be acted upon at once and with
Judgment. When you come to think
of it it seems rather strange that SO
few farms throughout New England
have a name. Most of those SO hon.
ored are the property of persons who
live elsewhere the most of the year
and patronize the farm only two or
three months In the hot weather. But
farmers. real farmers, have never got
into the way of labelling their farms,
and though, Of course, in the farming
district everyone knows where every
one else lives it certainly does lend a
-dlgity and sort of beauty to a coun-
try side If every house is individual
lied by an appellation well chosen.
Naturally some popularity of the farm
should be embodied in its name, and
there are peculiarities and to spare in
every New England farm. These may
not be patent to the principal owner,
but the sons or daughters who go
away to school" will discern them on
the first trip home, and they might be
trusted to select the term.-Boston

The New Northwest.

The Canadian government has issued
Il census bulletin, which gives stats
ties as to agriculture in Alberta, ASSN
iboia and Saskatchewan, which united
compose the Northwest Territories.
The total area Of these territories is
190,063,11T acres, and only G,569,O64
acres are occupied MS farms. OF this
area, 1890 per cent is unimproved.
Field crops, exclusive of hay, occupy
fifty-three per cent of the improved
land, but only a fair beginning has
been made with fruit trees and vegeta-
bles. The area of land in wheat, oats,
barley, rye, corn, peas, potatoes and
other field roots in 1891 was 1884, 73
acres. The increase at the end of the
last decade was G94,O73 acres, or 1888
per cent. The production of home
made butter is nearly twice as much
as ten years ago, and in the interval
ten factories have been put into opera
