A Novel PIen

One little word caused considerable contention. the looking up of several decisions in law books and the contin- uing of a case until the next term in the Circuit Court today The case was that of John Crawford. one of the young white men who was arrested a few months ago on charge of taking goods from freight cars in the yards of the Southern Railway.
 After the indictment against Craw- ford had been read to the jury, his att torney entered a plea that there was no such corporation as The" Southern Railway. The plea caused arguments between the Solicitor and attorneys, and many decisions were hunted up The attorney for Crawford in the plea contended that The" was not in the corporate name of the railroad and that therefore there was no such corporation as the Southern Railway and asked that tho indictment against him be quashed Solicitor Thompson stated to the court that he wanted time to look up the charter of the road. and the case was continued until next term.

Whipped Her rIusbnnd.

There was novel case heard in Po- lice Court this morning Probably it is the first time in the history of the court where a fine was imposed upon woman for whipping her husband. The case has been pending in the court for several days, but was continued and was set to be heard this morning.
 A few days ago George Caller and his wife. Georgie Caller, had a fight over some trivial cause. In the fight between the husband and wife the wo- man administered to the man a good thrashing. Warrants were sworn out against the couple and they were ar- rested. From the evidence the woman seems to have been in fault. In rem dering his decision in the case Mayor At- kins stated that though he felt 1t his duty to impose fine against the wo- man he felt more like giving her a chromo for what she had done. fine of $1 was imposed against her.

Royal Baking Powder is pure and wholesome beyond question. There is never any doubt of the heathfulness nor of the superiority of the food it lcavens.
 Consumers are sometimes solicited to buy baking powders other than Royal because they cost less. It is evident to cost less they must be made of inferior ingredients.

Millionaire Van Allen Sc
cures Kings Gardener by
Offering Princely Salary
EMPLOYS SMALL ARMY
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-At Rushton Hall,
the recently acquired country seat of
James Van Allen, the American mil
lionaire who finds English social con-
ditions much more to his liking than
those of his native land, there has
just arrived an army of workmen,
who are going to. pull the old place to
pieces. 1t will then be reconstructed
and enlarged on a scale of lavishness
and splendor commensurate with the
owners purse and the prominence he
expects to attain as an English coun-
try squire. Never before has such ac-
tivity been witnessed In the quaint
little Northamptonshire town of Ket-
tering, which is about three miles dis
tant from the hall. Lodgings are at a
premium and what the tradespeople
have lost from lack of employment
during a hard winter they hope to
make UP through the liberal expendi-
ture of the new master of Rushton.
Van Allen has just made most i'm
portant appointment an1 one, too,
that will be much welcomed in the
neighborhood. James Cruickshank
had been head gardener at the hall
for many years. but when the place
was sold recently he had to look for
other employment and as it was un-
derstood that an entirely new staff
was to do duty at Rushton Hall,
Cruickshank had no hope of being re-
engaged there. He had earned high
reputation as a gardener in the SER
vices of King Edward, the Duke of
Connaught and the Rothschilds, and
without difficulty procured another
position at Windsor Castle. This Van
Allen induced him to relinquish by the
offer of a prineely salary, and he has
now returned to Rushton Hall. 1t is
understood that his salary is higher
than that of any other head gardener
/ in England. He has already received
his instructions. The old hothouses
are to be demolished and new ter
races and walks after sixteenth GEN.
tury style are to be constructed, plans
for which have been supplied by Mr..
Van Allen himself.
Miss Van Allen, with a party of
friends, has been over the old house
and grounds exploring every nook and
corner. The whole scheme of decora-
ton will be left entirely to her tastes.
1t is believed that she was mainly in
strumental in securing the services of
the gardener, being much impressed
by what she saw of his work when she
went over the grounds in the neigh
borhood of the hall.

Scores Procrastinators.

The Supreme Court, in a decision
rendered yesterday, severely scores
lawyers and litigants who attempt to
tie up estates by constantly securing
continuances. The will of Christian
Bollinger was contested and on ac-
count of the illness of W. W. Foote,
who was one of the attorneys, the
plaintiff continued the case from time
to time for more than a year. At last
the trial court gave judgment against
the contestant for refusing to go on
with the proceeding and the higher
tribunal says that action was entirely
proper punishment.

On Friday night he called at her home
and said he would kill her. She says
he told her that he used to own race

Supreme Court Furnishes Gray Bros
for Causing Little Earthquakes
Out ON Clipper Street.

The Supreme Court thinks the
blasting operations conducted by Gray
Bros. on Clipper street did $500
worth of damages to property belong
ing to Patrick Rooney. Mary Lynde
Craig, owner of the land on which the
contractors worked, was Joined as a
party defendant, but the court abb
solves her from all blame and directs
the successful litigant to pay her
costs out of his award.
Rooney thought he had suffered
about $4,000 worth of damages ac-
cording to his complaint. He asserted
that the foundations of his house had
been rent asunder; that his yard had
been made a dumping ground for de-
bris, and that his feelings had suf-
fered several thousand dollars worth
Of rude shocks.
The lower court decided in his fa-
vor and the higher tribunal affirms
that decision. The defendants are not
enjoined by this decision from contin-
uing their blasting.
