pany at Butler and Front Streets was the
scene of tragedy last evening. result
ing in the death of one man. The lives
of three others are hanging by thread

tuition
While unloading an express car. one
of the men carried a box containing a
gallon bottle. This was broken in
transmission from the car to the wagon,

the contents to be whisky, the men
swallowed quantities of the fluid, which
proved to be liquid arsenic The men
continued TO work, but half an hour ef-
terward the effect of the poison began
to be apparent.
Police Are Summoned
The first TO complain was Flicker, who
spoke to W. C. Ware, check clerk at the
depot, about having cramps. He was
advised to rest himself. 1t was impossi-
BILE for him to rest, and he began to
roll about. At this time the other four

summoned, and the sufferers were hur-
ried to hospitals.

THE LEGAL STORY
OF A CATTLE DRIVE
Continued from Page ~

for damages because this matter was
adjudicated in former suit in equity
for specific performance. 1t does NOT
appear that there was any prayer for
damages or adjudication of the ques-
ton of damages in that suit as mode
of relief either incidental or alternative
to that of specific performance, In
that suit the Circuit Judge denied spe-
cific Performance of the portion of the
contract relating to the cattle but
granted it as to the leases. but on APP
peal thos court reversed the decree,
holding that there could be no specific
performance as to the cattle because
the method of ascertaining the amount
to be paid for them involved personal
acts of the vendor and the vendor had
died and that there could be no specific
performance as to the leases because
the contract was entire and the agree
ment as to the leases alone was a
minor part of the contract. Paris VS.
Greif IL HaW PA. The contention
seems to be that this matter of dam
ages must be regarded as concluded by
the decree in that suit dismissing the
bill, on the principle that decision is
decisive not only of everything that was
litigated but also of every thing that
might have been litigated in the case.
This question was gone into so fully in
Sugar Co., ante so, that it will be un-
necessary to consider it at length here.
Suffice 1t 10 say that that principle
applies to intermediate matters, whe-
Their litigated or not, so far as the III
innate matter decided is concerned and
not either to intermediate matters or
to other ultimate matters not in fact
lltigated If the bill in the former suit
had been dismissed because there was
no contract sr for any other reason
that showed that there was no right or
action at all, or If the matter of dam
ages as question Of alternative relief
had been litisated ard decided the ease
might be different Even IL damages
had been prayed alternatively but the
court had declined to go into that
question it would not be res adjudicata.
That the mere dismissal of a bin for
specific performance, at least where as
here it affirmatiyely appears that the

question IF damages Nas not raised 90
an does not bar du action FOR dam
ages Tor breach OF tua contract. seems
to be generally acknowledged
The next exception was to- the add
mission in evidence of the contract for
the alleged breach az which the action
was brought The grounds urged In
support OF the objection To this evil
dence were stated in various ways but
In substance they an amount 10 this,
that the performance of the contract,
particularly with reference to the as
certainment of the amount to be paid
for the cattle, depended on the personal
act of the vendor and that. since he
died before that amount was ascer-
tained, there can be no right of action
against his administration. i'm other
words, that the contract died with
him. The answer to this is that the
action is not brought for breach that
occurred after the vendors death but
for breach alleged to have occurred
before his death See Paris VS. Greig
supra, at page 2S3, The price for the
cattle was to be ten dollars a head for
all that were over one month old and
that were strong and healthy. They
were to be driven by the vendor and
counted by both vendor and vendee,
They were so driven and so counted to
the number of 964 and then turned out.
The vendor claimed that there were
four hundred more undriven. The ven
dee Conceded that there were one hun
dredA more which he would pay for
without further drive, and offered to
pay for the whole alleged four hundred
more without a further drive if the
vendor would guarantee that number.
The vendor declined to guarantee that
number or to make a further drive.
The plaintiff in this action waived all
damages as to any cattle over the
number 1854 actually driven and count
ed.
The only remaining exception relied
on was to the refusal to direct a verdict
for the defendant because the plaintiff
had not rendered to the vendor the eX-
penses of a second drive. We are I'M
able to perceive on what theory such
tender was required. The exceptions
are overruled
Kinney, Ballou & McClanahan for
plaintiff.

defendant.
