CELLAR GETTING DAMP
AN OLD WELL BELIEVED TO BE
THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

building ON West Broadway this morn

schools were not interfered with, but
1t was feared the water would disable
the furnace.
II appears that the source Of the
water Is an old well that was left un-
filed when the building wss erected,
or probably it was only partially filled.
The high river caused the water to
rise in it, and enter the cellar, but nc

ten by Justice Marshall in referring to
the case Of Henry Renping versus tho
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
company for damages for personal in
jurjes sustained in a wreck, says:
at is to be regretted that counsel
so distinguished should have so in
dulged his personal mastery Of a stu
alton as to lead so conscientious a
Judge as the one who presided at this
trial so far astray. Il is TO he regret
ted that counsel will do that under
any circumstances. Counsel should
never forget that they are the instru-
ments provided by law for the admin
istration of justice-ofiioers, as il
were, in the eye of tine law, charged
with high degree Of responsibility
respecting the protection of tine rights
of their clients within the legitimate
boundaries OF the controversy they are
called upon to present for adjudica-
ton, and charged as well with high
degree of responsibility not to purpose
ly or negligently 90 outside such boun-
daries.
within that sphere, they may,
with all their learning, ability and in
dustry, present their clients claims,
but they will step outside thereof at
the peril of sacrificing the Interests
they are in duty bound to safeguard. ="
Z The counsel in this case was Gener-
al e. s. Bragg, and it is said that in
his argument he pictured the railroad
officials attending church on the Sun
day of the excursion, and called atten-
ton to the corporations wealth, and
otherwise, it is alleged, worked upon
the prejudices of the jury, with the
result that Renping got verdict for
e12, 900 damages.
We think that a careful Observance
Of the proceedings in court must lead
one to the conclusion that the most
lawless class in the community are
The lawyers themselves. There are
lawyers who recognize that their obi
cations to the law itself is higher
than any obligation to any client, and
that they are there simply to see that
Justice is done; that facts are brought
10 the attention Of the judge and the
Jury by methods the law itself deter
nine, and that they have to appeal
only to the intelligence of the jury or
If the judge. Il is manifest, we think
that there is another class Of lawyers
who seek to mislesd . court as to the
law and jury as to the facts; who
hesitate at no trick for confusing a
witness who is striving to tell the
truth, or for srousing the sympathy of
the Jury by false pretenses and by the
assertions of facts that have not been
in the testimony.
The truth is that practices which |
sre widely prevalent in our courts
have done much to nullify the law, to
pervert justice and to create q con-
Tempt for the court.
