PROPERTY OWNERS WIN
SUIT AGAINST civ

The Kentucky court OF appeals held.
in the case OF Hutchinson VS. City OF
MaysviIle. that in al action by the
owner Of a dwelling house against a
city for damages thereto by the in
creased flow Of water thereon. filling
his cistern, cellar. coal house and
vaults. and making his premi$ss damp
and unhealthy by reason Of the city's
digging bitches. constructing culverts
and grading streets. its was error Of the
court TO instruct the jury that the
measure OF damages, if any, IS the dif-
ference between the value of plaintiff
property bfore the injury complained OF
and its value Immediately sfter said In
juries." In such a case, the court said,
the measure Of damages was the depre-
citation Of the rental value Of the prop
erty II fl was rented. or If It was occU-
pied by the owner. the diminution in
value Of its use and occupancy. and the
time and money expended. II any, in
cleaning out the cIstern and cellar and

by the attractive homes which delight

PLANTING OAK TREES
FOR RAILROAD TIES

The Pennsylvania railroad has just
begun setting out some $4,000 trees. The
purpose is 10 provide economically in
future years for the compary's require
ments for ties. Work upon a large scale
is progressing at Mt. Union. Pa, where
about 225,000 trees are 20 be planted.
At Altoona. $4,000 or more red oak trees
are 20 be set out this spring. At Hol-
Hdaysburg. a forest nursery" is be-
ing created, about 135 pounds Of seed
being planted this year In nursery beds.
and many trees being set in nursery
rooms FOR use next year.
Some idea Of the necessity for such
an extraordinary undertaking as this
may be gathered from the fact that the
Pennsylvania railroad system uulizes
5000 900 new ties every year. each tie
costing about 20 cents. The life Of a
tie is about seven years.

what is known as the Barbour tract
Together, these tracts comprise about
twenty-one acres Of land. They for
merly were parts Of the Same estate and
were known TO all the old settlers of
Washington as the Stone Farm.
Owned by General Logan
The first proprietor was William J.
Stone, who settled in washington in
1915. In 1912 he planned and built the
house now occupying the northeast cor
ner Of Clifton and Thirteenth streets.
This property, now known as Calumet
Place" was purchased by the friends
of Gen. John A. Logan and presented TO
him during his term as United States
Senator. and since his death has been
owned and occupied by his widow, Mrs,
Mary A Logan.
The late Senator John Sherman bought
the stone farm in January, 1881. It COM
prlsed 12l.46 acres. and the consideration
named in the deed of purchase Is $4,000.
Those who are urging the selection Of
the sherman tract for the university

LOVE FOR HORSE
STARTED A
ROMANCE
tsentiners Special News Service,


New York. Oct. 26.-The love of
man and maid for a thoroupb-
pred horse resulted in the maria 90
today of Miss Molly Maxwell. Brook
lyn society belle and heiress. to /
H. Davis. of Virginia. The ceremony
was performed at the home of the
pride Glen Cove, L. l.. aid feature
was the enthroning of the canine
Cupid that made it come to pass.
The bride, the youngest daughter
or the late Eugene Lacelles Max
Wen, has been for years the most
talked OF society girl. heiress and
horsewoman of Brooklyn. Even aside
from the million dollars that will
fall upon her upon her mothers
death, she has many attractions, in
Guiding beauty and wit, that have
made her very much sought af-
ter young woman.
For many years BROOKLYN society
has been wondering which of the
long list of eligibles she would ac-
cept, while she apparently spent the
1ame time thinking how to keen
them at distance without doing
serious damage to their feelings,
Then one day there same from
virginia j. E. Davis, dashing chap,
who has home town named after his
father and his own name Oh more
silver cups than any other amateur
horseman in the Old Dominion.
Davis-the happy bridegroom in
today's weddings dashing rider,
which pleased the Brooklyn belle at
first sight. Also, he is good to look
upon, which helped augment first
impressions, and when Miss Maxwell
that was-found that he had fall
len with her favorite riding horse
she suddenly discovered that the
Virginian came nearer her idea of an
affinity than any other man she had
ever met.
So 1t came to pass that she asked
Mr.. Davis to ride the favorite horse
for her at Bay Shore last Labor day,
and he rode and won, and when
the gallant steed and its handsome
rider galloped up to the paddock af-
terward Miss Maxwell was there to
meet them.
She gave her hand to Mr.. Davis
which, a little bird says, he held
for some time-and threw her free
arm about the neck of the thorough
bred. "Oh, / love you, you beauty"
she cried ecstatically, and Mr.. Davis
said-but no matter what Mr.. Davis
said. At any rate. it is reported that
the engagement which eliminated in
today's wedding was made on the
spot.
The bride is the younger daughter
of Mrs. Eugene Lacelles Maxwell.
Her father was a partner of Charles
A. Moore. She is a niece of j. Rog-
ers Maxwell and Henry l.. Maxwell.
The wedding was the most fashion
able in the history of the North New
York, Brooklyn, Newport and Vir-
ginia.
Mrs. Davis will one day have at
least $1,0O0.000. Her father left an
estate of 100000, which at her
! mothers death is to be divided a
| mong her sister, Mrs. Donald G. Ged-
des, her brother, Eugene Lascelles
