New Trial Awarded.

Among the decisions rendered by the
Court of Appeals last Friday was the fol
lowing case carried from this county:
State of Maryland, use of Edith c. Zier
against the Chesapeake Beach Railway
Company. The suit was brought by the
equitable plaintiff to recover damages for
the death of her husband, alleged to be
due to the negligence of the company.
The declaration in this case consisted OF
two counts. The suit was instituted with
in a year after the cause Of action had &C
crned, as required by law. and contained
one count. Two more counts were added
by amendment after a year had elapsed
since the accruing of the action. The
court below granted a demurrer to the
first count, and in this it was sustained by
the Court of Appeals. A plea was en-
tered to the other two counts on the
ground that they had been filed more than
a year after the accruing Of the action,
and a demurrer to the plea was overruled
The Court of Appeals holds that the de
murrer to the plea should have been grant
ed, as the counts were proper to be n
sidered in the case, as the original cause
of action was begun within the year, and
the adding of the counts only changed
the statement of the case. For this cause
the decision was reversed and a new trial
awarded. Opinion by Chief Judge Nc
Sherry.

Hicks For December.

About tie 10th and 18th will come no.
ticable change to warmer, another fall OF
the barometer will pass eastwardly across
the country merging into storms OF win
ter rain turning to general snow. The
passage of the moon over the celestial
equator on the 18th blending with the
perturbations of Winter Solstice and
moons last quarter, will cause some
winter thunder and rain southwark with
heavy snow and winter gales in many
parts Of the country.
The regular storm period central on
the 18th and extending from the 10Th to
the goth will bring a decided fall of the
barometer. progressively from west to
east. The temperature will rise, winds
will shift to southerly and easterly and
more storms of rain and snow will de-
velop in western parts on and touching
the 18th. During the 18th to Goth these
will pass over the country to the Allan
tic. Rains to the southwark turing to
sleet and snow n%orthward may be ex-
pected all followed from the northwest
by high gales and a cold wave.
Another storm period is central on the
22nd exactly at the crisis of the Winter
Solstice. The prolonged tendency to
.storminess and precipitation, through all
this part of the month, will break into
we'll defined storms of rain, wind and
snow on those dates. Another cold wave
will follow during which the mercury
will fall very low and the cold will pene-
trate quite far into the south.
In every probability there will be gen
eral and severe winter storms from the
2Gth to the end of the month. They will
organize and start on their eastward
sweep in the west and northwest, not far
from home The 25th and during the 9th
to Both they will make transit over most
parts of the country to the Atlantic
Coasts. Take our word for it, there is
danger of very severe winter storms OF
of sleet and snow and blizzard, especially
in the " est and north, between the 26tt
and 31st of December.
Blockades of snow and destructive
burdens of sleet. all winding up with a
full gro VIZ cold a are the things to be
feared and provided against the last week
of the year. Have a care for your poor
defenceless live stock, and do not wait
until the snow and blizzard are upon
you.
