RAILROADS.
DEMURRER
SUSTAINED

Judge Brown in the superior court has
sustained defendants demurrer in the
case OF Frederick Brown against New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
company. IL appears that the plaintiff,
when he arrived at "A crossing, saw
train passing and stopped. intending to
cross behind. and I'm doing so was struck
by train moving i'm the opposite di-
rection, which had been concealed from
view by the FIRST train. Judge Brown
cites Parker VS.. Llndol.
1T is the duty OF "a pedestrian crossing
track behind a moving car 10 look out
side There are five counts in the dec
laration and the demurrer is TO three
counts.
Judge Brown further says: Some con-
sideration is claimed for the plaintiff by
reason or the fact that he is a child. only
eight years old Undoubtedly a child Of
that age is not held to the same degree Of
care as an adult. but even a child is held
10 exercise some care. II does not appear
that the plaintiff exercised any care. 1t
is alleged In the declaration that at or
about the same time the last car OF the
train next TO him had left the crossing the
locomotive OF the concealed train entered
upon IT, In the meantime he had sue
ceeded in getting behind the former train
and I'm front OF the locomotive, and re-
ceived the injury complained off,
Judge Brown holds that even IL the
crossing tender was negligent. the plain
tiff Is not relieved OF the results OF his
own lack OF care.
The accident occurred at WOodlawn
crossing, Nov l6. 1904, and plaintiffs leg
was cut OFF and he sued for $4,000.

BISHOPS
FRIENDS
REJOICE

Rome, Jan. 26.-The Pope today signed
the papers appointing the Right Rev. w.
II. o'Connell, Bishop OF Portland, Me-.
who recently visited Japan on special
mission, with the rank OF assistant to the
pontihcal there, to be coadjutor arch
bishop OF Boston, Mass.
Although Cardinal Gottl, prefect OF the
congregation of the propaganda, is dan
gerously Ill with pneumonia, the congre-
cation met unexpectedly yesterday. and
discussed the appointment OF Bishop
O'Conneli. with the result that the cardi-
nails voted almost unanimously for him
The friends OF the bishop are jubilant
They scarcely expected SO quick and
complete victory.
Boston, Jan. 26.-The announcement OF
the appointment OF the Right Rev. Will
liam III. OConnell. bishop Of Portland,
TO be bishop coadjutor had been antici-
pated by private advices received In this
city and Portland indicating that he was
likely to be chosen. Bishop O'Connell's y
advancement has been unusually rapid
lie is but 46 years OF age. He was gradu-
ated from Boston college I'm 1881, with
honors which attracted the notice of
Archbishop Williams, and which secured
for the young student a scholarship i'm the
American college OF Rome.
lie was ordained I'm Rome In 1884 and
remained there for one year, filling the
position OF first prefect i'm the American
college. lie returned TO this country In
1888, and after two years I'm a Medford
parish he became assistant priest at St
Josephs church in this city. Nine years
ago he was called from that position 10
the rectorship OF the college At Rome.
Shortly afterwards he was appointed as
monsoigneur by Pope Leo XIII. In 1901 ne
was elevated To the bishopric, being made
head OF the diocese OF Maine. Then he
was called to perform the papal mission
TO Japan at the close OF the recent war.
The question OF coadjutor 20 the arch
bishop OF Boston has been agitated fo.
the past 10 years. owing 10 the extreme
age OF Archbishop Williams. who Is S5
years old. Since his elevation to the
bishopric OF Maine, Bishop O'Connel has
been more prominently mentioned as a
candidate for the cosdjutorshlp than any
other American, and reports that he ac-
tuslly had been appointed have frequently
been circulated.

The superintendent of the naval acad-
emy approved the proceedings and find
ings OF the court-martial, so far as these
related TO the first charge and the specifl-
cations hereunder. and also the recon-
mendation of the court. He disapproved
the proceedings under the second charge
for n defect OF procedure therein. al
