court overruled this demurrer and the
plaintiff filed a replication admitting
the equity suit and pleadings but deny
1 ng that the promise to pay the planun
$4,000 was an issue o. that any a le-
cation of promise was made IN the
supplemental bill for any purpose otau,
than by way of inducement to show
fraud or that the court found that the
promise had not been made, averrlng
tnat the juuses decision referred to
$4,000 mere by way Of recital with no
adjudication as to the promise. and
further that its reference to the pro-
mise, and further that its reference
to the promise is indefinite and not
conclusive and that an adjudication of
it was required or justified by any is
sue in the suit or that the decree was
a final adjudication of the promise.
The defendant demurred to the repn-
cation on the grounds that it admitted
every material allegation of fact in the
plea and set forth no affirmative or
! other matter in reply end that it
denied those allegations only which
were conclusions of law. The de-
/ PENDANT excepted to the overruling of
this demurrer and to the denial of her
motion for judgment on the pleadings.
The plea in bar was then submitted
on the pleadngs, the defendant ex-
cepting to the overruling of the plea.
JUSTICE PERRY'S STATUS.
When the case was called the plain
tiff's attorney objected to Justice Per-
ry sitting on the ground that he had
acted as attorney in the equity suit
After the justice had stated what his
connection with the case was the oh
lection was overruled and the attorney
was given leave to file his statement
cordance with Justice Perrys state
ment which appears in the minutes
The fact is, clearly, that Justice Perry
has not at any time acted, in this or
i'm any other cause, as counsel for
either of the parties to this suit and
that his only connection with the
equity suit was as attorney for certain
other parties. No disqualification ex-
lists
The plaintiffs demurrer to the plea
was properly overruled and as no new
showing was made by the replication
the defendants demurrer to it should
have been sustained. The issae on the
plea in the suit which was whether the
compromise had been made without
fraud or misrepresentation was adj
Indicated by sustaining the plea and
dismissing the bill. The court could
have made a specific finding of pro-
mise made without fraudulent intent
but the holding that none was made
eliminated any supposition of a fraudu-
lent promise.
After a hearing for owo weeks on
the plaintiffs claim that she was in
duced to compromise by the defend
ants fraudulent promise to pay her
$4,000 the court did not hesitate 20
find, as we understand its decision, J
that she executed the compromise
without fraud or misrepresentation or
promise of anything and with her eyes

The Wreck of the Republic.

The recent fatal accident to the afr ship La Republque was due to the breakage of the screw propeller. This was first attributed to a flaw in the metal, but the report drawn up by the official committee of inquiry does not bear out the hypothesis. The steel tube of the propeller, closely examined presented two distinct breakages. The first CT interior breakage, the cause of the fatal accident, is attributed to over-heating," in consequence of a powerful rotation. attaining 1,600 rev. olutions per minute. The best temper ed metal cannot support such speed and finishes by dilating, and in con- sequence by snapping.
