Point That Won a Lawsuit For

a year or two after William McKin
ley ad begun the practice of the law
at Canton. o.. he distinguished himself
In a humorous fashion In one Of his
first successful cases. As often hap
pens in court. the humor was not mere
~ for the sake of the joke. but for seri-
ous purpose Mr.. Edward T. Roe In
"The Life Work of William Mckinley
rclls the story.
:. The case was a suit against a sur
gepn. whom the plaintiff charged will
Having set his leg SO badly that II was
bowed. Mckinley defended the sur
geon and found himself pitted against
John McSweeney. one of the most bril-
liant lawyers of the Ohio bar.
s MeSweeney brought his client into
court and had him expose the injured
limb to the jury. Ii was very crooked
aud. the case looked bad for the sur
gcoh. But Mckinley had both his eyes
open. as usual. and fixed them keenly
ON the other mans leg.
As soon as the plaintiff was turned
oyer 10 him he asked that the other leg
should also be barred. The plaintiff and
McSweeney objected vigorously, but
the Judge ordered II done Then 1t ap-
peared that his second leg was still
more crooked than that which the sur.
geon had set.
My client seems TO have done better
by this man than nature itself did,
safd Mckinley. ''and | move that the
suit be dismissed with recommends
tion to the plalntiff that he have the
other leg broken and then set by the

BLOCKADE NOT RELAXING.
A Bark with Coal for a British Rail
road Not Allowed to Unload.

La Guayra, Dec. 27.-The Swedish
bark Framnas, from Cardiff, with AIS
tons Of coal for the La Guayra-Cara-
cas- railroad, a British concern, arrived
off this port Thursday and was or
dered to remain outside the blockade
line. Friday orders were conveyed to
the captain of the bark to leave. This
step was taken because the coal was
considered contraband of war. The
vessel vas not seized, as she left Car
diff before the trouble with Venezuela
commenced. The captain of the Fran
mas is awaiting orders from his con-
signees.
The Dutch consul here has asked
for and obtained the permission Of
the commander of the British cruiser
Tribune to send a schooner to Los
Roques, a group of small islands about
one hundred and twenty miles north
of here, where the charcoal burners
who trade with La Guayra are at
present without provisions or water,
their sloops having been seized by the
blockaders. The schooner must car
~ a flag of truce. She car only take
enough provisions to last the trip,
and she will remove all the inhabi-
tants of Los Roques to Willemstad,
Curacao, and then return here.
Two schooners were captured this
morning. The total number of craft
taken by the ~blockaders is now 20.

Friday.
FIREMAN CAUGHT UNDER FALLING WALL
Two of Them Were Killed and
Three Probably Fatally Injured
A Loss of Four hundred Thou
sand Dollars sustained BY the
ArbuckIe Brothers.

New York, Dec. 27.-In a fire which
shot through five factories in the
river front district of Brooklyn after
one o'clock Friday morning, two fire.
men were killed, three badly injured
and more than 100000 damage was
done. The list of dead and injured is
as follows:
The Dead.
Michael O'Toole. fireman of engine
company No. So, on water tower.
Thomas Jeffries, fireman, water
tower No. 6, crushed out of recogni-
ton.
Battalion Chief Thomas C~oppinger
of Twenty-third battalion, skull frac-
tured, arm and leg broken.
The Injured.
Thomas Mccarthy, fireman engine
company No. 6s, in water tower; left
leg crushed and hip crushed.
William McCooley, citizen; skull
crushed.
Beginning among the inflammable
materials in the cooperage plant OF
Arbuckle Bros, at Plymouth and
Bridge streets, within a half an hour
the flames were shooting from all the
buildings and all the available fire IN
gines of Brooklyn, with Chief Pur-
roy in charge, were trying to save
the district. The cooperage plant of
Arbuckle Bros. is an o~ld-fashioned
five-story brick building. 1t was filled
from top to bottom with material for
making barrels
When Deputy Chief Murray arrived
he sent in third and fourth alarms
and when Chief Purroy arrived, a
half hour later, he ordered engines
and fireboats from the Manhattan
side of the river to help. With the ar
rival of water tower No. 6, battalion
Chief Coppinger assumed charge of
it and ran it directly under one Of
the walls. Suddenly the wall was
seen to bulge at the third story and
before the men could move 1t
crashed directly down OF them. The
firemen and MeCooley, the citizen.
were buried and the water tower and
ladders were smashed to kindling
wood.
Ten minutes later the first of the
men was taken out. hi was the
battalion chief, unconscious and ia
tally hurt. McCooley came next. Nc
Carthy, who will die, it is thought,
was found half under a wheel of the
tower, also unconscious. The bodies
of Jefferies and O"Toole were found
near together.

LYNCHED THE WRONG MAN.
Brother of Victim of the Kansas
Mob Said to Have Been the
P~OIieenian's Slayer.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 27.-A spe-
cial to the Times from pittsburg,
kas., says:
1t is reported here that Joe God
ley, a brother of Montgomery cod
ley, who was lynched by a moi here
Thursday morning, is wounded and
in hiding at Weir City, Kas., and later
investigation of the trouble between
Officer Hinkle and the Cooley broth
ers tends to show that Joe, and not
the man who was lynched, fired the
shot which killed the policeman. Two
other brothers, Gus and Jess, are in
Jail at Girard, charged with being i'm
plicated in the murder, but Joe es-
capped. The mother of the Cooley
boys is said to have asked a physician
here to treat Joe for a gunshot
wound in the neck. She would not
tell the whereabouts of her son, and
the doctor refused to go with her.
The officers revolver, with which he
was killed, has not been found, and
it is believed that the man who did
the killing has the pistol in his pos
session.

TO REWARD OLD EMPLOYEES.
Postal Telegraph Co. officials Plan
ming to Surprise Old Servants
with a New Years Present.

New York, Dec. 26.-Clarence H.
Mackay, president of the Postal Tel
egraph Cable Co., is planning d New
Years surprise for the older EN-
ployes of that concern.
1t has been reported that John w.
Mackay had left in his will a proyi-
sion that the older employees of the
Postal were to receive a gift on Janu-
airy 1, 1903, proportional to their term
of service in that company of ten
years or longer. Though this report
regarding the terms of the will could
not be verified, and it was limited in
other sources of authority that the
gift was the idea of Clarence Mackay
alone, it was learned positively from.
Clarence Mackay that he and a COM
mittee composed of old friends and
employees of his father were contem-
plating a New Years present to en-
ployes of the Postal that would be
something substantial.
