York County Rescript.

Perxede Liberty KS. Howard p. Haines.
Admir-. Rescript by Spear. j.
THIS is an action of aSSumpsit
brought by the plaintif1 to recover
against the estate of Samuel Haines,
late of SacO, county Of York, the sum
of S13,1.0 upon an account annexed for
services performed, and also 10 recover
So, 600 upon special promise upon the
part Of the deccdent in his lifetime to
pay said sum To plaintiff. The alleged
contract for the payment of the latter
named sum was verbal as VIII appear
from the testimony.
The facts as claimed by the plaintiff
uDOn which she seeks to recover, are
first: that she engaged in the employ
ment Of the decedrnt from October /.
1859, to February -, 1863, as set out in
her claim, as an ordinary servant for
the agreed price of $40 per week: sec
Ond, that Samuel Haines in his life
time, and for many years prior to his
death was afflicted with loathsomc
and highly contagious disease, so
noXiouS in its character that it was
flaugnt with danger to his attendant.
and required unusual and special care:
third, that later after the plaintiff had
discovered the nature of the disease
with which the decedent was afflicted
and had expressed her intention. OF al
once declining to give him further care
anG attention and of leaving the house.
he expressly agreed in consideration
that she would remain and continue
her services. to pay her in addition to
the wages before alleged to have been
agreed upon. the additional sum OF
$4,000 and the house.
Having carefully examined the testi-
n.ohy and the briefs Of counsel, we are
of opinion that no useful purpose can
be served in giving an extended analy
sis of the evidence upon which our
conclusion may be based; besides. such
an analysis, involving pure questions
of fact, would extend far beyond the
space allotted to the ordinary opinion.
We shall therefore examine the teSti-
mOny only so far as is necessary to OK
plain the conclusions at which we ar
rive.
Without further discussion, the court
are IF opinion that the verdict of the
jury sustaining the affirmative of the
first proposition may be permitted to
stand, although the decision is accom-

conversation between a Scotch minis
ter and sexton. The minister was a
stranger to the gravemaker, and dis
cussed with him the doctrines of the
neiehboring clergy. AS one after
another was mentioned. the sexton
wagged his head gloomily. and said,
"He'S no sound" At last the minis

One of the enjoyable events Of the
week was the smoke talk held last
evening by the members of Abnaki
Council. X c., the hall being will filled
with members of the order and others
who desire to be members later on.
The principal speaker of the evening
was F. F. Driscoll of Portland, past
State deputy of the order in Maine. and
he was followed by members of the
local council. Mr.. Driscoll spoke for
the good Of the order, and also took up
the insurance feature of the order. and
his remarks. which were very in
teresting and instructive, were listened
to with tine closest attention through
out. Refreshments consisting of sand
witches. coffee and cigars were served
during the evening and the occasion
was voted to be pronounced success.
1t is probable that it will be followed
by others of the same nature later in
the season.

NO FUSION FOR GEHRING.

for independence.

II know perfectly well that the Independence
League does not have TO fuse, 1 don't think il
ought TO fuse and don't think Il will fuse" said
Charles E. Gehring. chairman OF the county COM
mttee OF the league at the Gilsey House last night
The Independence League is opposed to both the
old parties and 10 the bosses that control the old
parties and 10 the special interests that own the
bosses that control both old parties"
"A situation such exists on the state ticket
Is ideal for the league. The bosses in both parties
get together, and by private treaty appoint two
judges pleasing to the corporations to the Court
of Appeals. The independence League holds a.
popular convention nominates two distinguished
candidates for judges who have no corporation
connections. two honest and able men, and In that
way represents the people and appeals to the
people. distinct and definite contrast to the fusion
ticket which represents the bosses and appeals to
the corporations.
''In New York the only for fusion is that
fusion would result in the defeat of Murphy and
Tammany, and prevent the election OF that corrupt
crew. But the Independence League can do that
alone. and has done IL alone.

HUGHES WON'T MIX IN.
Refuses to advise Parsons about
Fusion 7cith Hearst.

Governor Hughes who came down from Albany
early yesterday TO register before he started for
the jamestown exposition. where he will be the
remainder OF the week. refused 10 advise President
Parsons of the Republican County committee with
reference to fusing county nominations with
the independence League.
Some OF the Governors callers yesterday were
Representative Parsons Senator Page. Senator
Agnew and Assemblyman Prentice and Senator
Colby Of New Jersey.
The Governor and Representative Parsons had a
long talk about the local situation. As is we'll
known amorg local Republicans. Mr.. Parsons is
somewhat perplexed over the problem OF a fusion
with the Hearst people There is strong senti-
ment In favor of It among the workers in the
organization. nearly every district leader favoring
a union OF the two organizations against Tam
many. On the other hand. the silent" vote in
the party. the people OF old-fashioned thinking,
are opposed 20 a fusion with the Independence
League II is understood that Mr.. Parsons wanted
the Governors advice in the exIgency.
When the Governor seen last night by
Tribune reporter and asked whether he favored
fusion. he said:
II have nothing to say"
II is understood that the Governor told Mr. Par
sons that inasmuch he the Governor, was re-
spOnsibe for the state administration and very
busy with duties at Albany he did not feel at
liberty 10 advise him; that Mr.. Parsons and his
leutenants. being on the ground and familiar with
all the features of the situation were the ones to
decide the matter
Assemblyman Hamn, who at Republican
state headquarters yesterday. said that Governor
Hughes was steadily gaining strength as a Pres-
dentfal candidate.

Mr.. Hamn. Every one the surface, at least
seems to be for him for President, provided Roose-

In replying, Justice Gaynor called attention TO
the great economic changes through which the
country was now passing. He declared that the
economic law was elastic enough to further these
needed changes rather than obstruct them as II
sometimes made to do by hidebound and re-
dictionary judges. He also expressed the opin,op
that the laws placing the maximum price of gas
at so cents and limiting railroad fares 10 two cents
