preliminary injunction. John claimed that
while he was in poor health last fall he
signed deed OF some Pawtucket real

JUDGE BAKER
HAS SUSTAINED
DEMURREns

Judge Baker today handed down an
opinion and decision In the case of Aaron
b. McCrilhs against the Nelson Morris
company. This is sht to recover $1o.-
600 for rent of a building over the canal.
Defendant sets UP that owing TO the de-
fective condition OF certain piles the
building. or at least that part of IL in
which was the ice box used for storing
meats. collapsed. and the defendant says
It's loss thus exceeded any amount due
for rent
The case was heard by Judge Baker on
motion to strike out one plea of defend
ant and on demurrer to four other pleas
The second plea Is nil debit. Judge Baker
says: II am aware OF no authority for
the use OF this plea in covenant. In debt
IL was allawed In declarations on simple
contracts. but not ordinarily on special
ties. II is permitted when the speciality
is only the inducement to the action II
has been held TO apply TO an action OF
debt for rent upon a demise by deeds
The motion to strike oTt II granted.
The third plea alleging the collapse OF
the building as an answer to the claim
for rent does not state that any notice
OF the needs of the repairs was given the
landlord Ii does recite that the lack of
necessary repair was well known to the
plaintn and unknown to the defendants.
Judge Baker on this point says. 'It is a
somewhat extraordinary allegation that
within the short time between May 1 and
July B. said piles could become old, de-
cayed, and worn out, and out Of neces-
sary repair, and II Is only easy to un-
derstand how a landlord out OF posses
sion could know OF the condition alleged
to exist while the tenants were In exclu-
sive possession. That. perhaps. Is not
important In considering the matter on
demurrer to the plea But the allegation
of knowledge by the plaintiff OF the want
OF repair does not necessarily mean that
the plaintiff became possessed OF this
knowledge until the morning OF the ac-
cident. or that he had any opportunity
to repair before the collapse, and. there
fore, before he was guilty OF any negli-
gence in repairing. OF course there could
be no refusal when the defendants had no
knowledge OF the defects. and conse-
ouently had made no request TO repair"
Demurrer TO plea Is sustained.
The fourth plea Is held 10 set forth no
adequate defence TO plaintiffs action. and
as the fifth plea does not set forth a
proper defence, demurrers TO both are
sustained.

THERE WILL BE
NO MIDWAY NEAR
State HOUSE

II was announced this morning that
the park commissioners did not have
authority to grant the Old Home Week
the privilege OF using the public gar
den. in front of the state house. and
charging for concessions there. as such
authority rests entirely with the city
council.
IT came as a great surprise, as plans
for the midway proposed to have been
held there had been made and con-
tracts for some OF the concessions were
under consideration. The COMMITTEES
were greatly disappointed and It was
at once seen that the only thing to be
done was to abandon the midway
project, as there was not time to Sc
cure and prepare for another place.
The midway promised to be one OF tho
important features of Old Home Week.
The park commissioners had granted the
committee permission TO use II and every
thing was running smoothly until II was
announced this morning that all money
that would be taken from the concessions
must go into the city treasury

aged, losing about two feet OF her flag
staff and a small hole being made in her
hull just below the covering board by

line was passed aboard and she was

gone down and someone might have been
injured by the falling spars.

did not know OF the accident until coming
on deck in the morning and seeing the
schooner In tow. 1t was a fortunate
escape all around, in that both vessels
