Council for appellant contend that
this instruction is erroneous and that
the form Of the question contained in
it is improper, for the reason that it
d, T{gt.f
informed the jury Of, the legal effect OF
their answer upon the plaintiff right
Of recovery and authorized them to re-
turn a legal conclusion, thereby de-
priying the plaintiff of his statutory
right to their, findings upon facts only.
In our opinion, the contest is sound,
and the error fatal. In giving this
instruction the trial court; entirely
ignored the important restriction
which is placed upon the functions of
| the jury in reference to special YER
diets. Section 5444, Revised Codes,
reads as follows: "The verdict Of a
jury is either general or. special:
| Il. A general verdict Is that BY
which they pronounce generally upon
all or any of the issues either IN favor
of the plaintiff or defendant; and Z
"2. A special verdict is that by
the conclusions of fact as established
! which the jury find the facts only leav-
1 ing the Judgment to the court. y ID
1.-THE special verdict must present
the conclusions of facts as established
by the evidence and not the evidences
to prove them; and these conclusions
of fact must be so presented that moth.
4 ing shall remain to the court but to
draw from them conclusions Of law"
The distinction in, the duty Of the
jury in reference to the two kinds OF
verdicts is plainly declared. In return

nounce generally upon all or any of the

HANDSOME ALTAR ORNAMENTS.
Gift of Mr.. John Harvey Treat tC
Cathedral Church of Good
Shepherd.

The altar ornaments to be used at
the Thanksgiving services at the
Cathedral church of the Good Shep-
herd are the gift to the church of Mr..
John Harvey Treat a wealthy Massa-
chusetts gentleman, who is an ardent
Episcopalian.
The ornaments, which are of un-
usual size, consist of a large cross and
candle-sticks of solid brass and ex-
quisite workmanship. They have been
recently placed by Messrs. Mailer S
Sons, who pronounce them to be mag
nificent examples of art.
The gift is made to the new church
which is now building, in which the
ornaments will be placed upon its
completion. In the meantime they
will only be used on high festival oc-
casions in the present church.
Mr. Treat first became interested in
the local church when he met the rec
tor, DR.. Pittenger during his travels in
the Holy Land in 1896. At that time
Mr.. Treat expressed a desire to make
a gift to the new church and, after
meeting Miss jamie Ward last sum-
mer, he put his plan into execution by
the gift of the handsome ornaments
referred to.

Possibility of Big Battle.
(By the Associated Press.)


st. Petersburg, Nov. 23.-2:25 a. m.
Appearances again point to the posi-
bility of a big battle south of Mukden.
The Japanese, according to an official
report have received a severe setback
in the vicinity of Sintsintin, in which
direction they apparently were at
tempting to execute wide turning
movement Military opinion here
scarcely believes it possible that two
great armies can winter less than a
rifle shot distant from each other,
though the heavy defenses on each
side make it extremely difficult for
either to assume the offensive. 1t is
believed. however, that if the dead
lock is to be broken General Kuropat-
kin will let Field Marshal Oyama take
the initiative as the Russians have
the better of the present position,
namely, Il strong line of defence and
Mukden behind them, making salts
factory winter quarters where the
Russian re-inforcements are now &C
cumuIating for an advance next spring.
The Japanese also are being strongly
reinforced. The rivers are already
frozen sufficiently to permit OF the
movement of artillery and commits
sariat trains. so that the country ac-
tuallv is better adapted to a japanese
advance than during the summer
