By Judge Douglas.

Judge Douglas today heard and grant
ed the motion of the defendant in the
case OF Antoine St Louis VS.. Alfred
Berube that the case be dismissed for
noncompliance with an order that the
plaintiff furnish surety for costs. Though
the amount involved in the case was
small. being less than $780, there were
some interesting things about IT,
Mr. Berube intending to built In the
past in the town of Burrillville. where
he resides engaged the plaintiff 10 build
cellar wall for him. In an affidavit
filed I'm the case Mr.. Berube says Mr.
st. Louis built the wall In such an un-
workmanike manner that the stones fell
down OF their own weight On the ad-
vice OF expert stone masons defendant
says he took the job way from the plain
tiff and later all OF the wall that had
been built was taken down.
On Nov. 7th, 1902. Mr.. Berube, who
does not read or talk English, had writ
served upon him. He consulted an at
torney, who refused the case after hear
ing that the plaintiff lived at Harrisvile
The attorney was an officer Of the Ninth
district court. Mr. Bernlie inquired II

the writ had been entered In the ninth

Some item later Mr.. Berube was sur
prised TO find an execution had been is-
sued against him on n Judgment obtained

declares in his affidavit that on Nov. 9TH.
the day the writ was issued. and for many
months thereafter. Mr.. st. Louis resided
at Harrsville. There was but one thing
to do. take an appeal to the common
pleas division Of the supreme court This

A DARKER STAGE.
Berlin, Aug. 2O.-The rising in Macedo-

darker stage. The insurrection is taking
on proportions unexpected by the Ger

BY reason OF her early start. Reliance
was able to reach the hghtship ahead of
the excursion fleet. The Shamrock,
however, started half an hour later. was
soon surrounded by the vanguard OF
these vessels and a score Of steam yachts
and tugs accompanied her nearly all the
way.
In this first feet were three or four
revenue cutters and as soon as those
boats reached the lightship they at once
took up position, forming Gordon about

were fully nfty vessels in the vicinity OF
the iightship and twice as many more
strung out on the broad ocean road be-
