lower court overruled the decision of a
higher one. However Mr.. Hammond
again appealed and again the higher
court gave him the decision. In the
meantime had married second wife in
New Jersey and before his case was set
tied in New York charge of bigamy
was lodged against him in the state of
New Jersey aud he was taken there, re-
leased on bail and finally discharged
when he obtained his second decision III
the New York court. The case went to
the jury Wednesday afternoon. After
celebrating for two hours they gave Mr..
Donoway a verdict for $33. $50.
The next case to be taken up was that
of Ernest Goss VS.. Prof. Edward A. Burt.
The plaintiff brings this action to recover
for an alleged assault alleged to have
been committed last July. 1t seems that
several children had a picnic on the
banks of the creek on the land owned by
Prof. Burt and that various vegetables
from the professors garden contributed
to the bill of fare and some of the child
rem even carried home some beets, etc.
On the following day the professor saw
a crowd of children land on his land at
the place where the picnic had been held
the day before and as several of the
children of this party were present at
the first so called picnic he believed that
it was up to him to defend his garden
from another raid and taking stick he
ran to the bank where he proceeded to
use force in driving the children from
his premises and then he pushed the boat
off his land and threw what property
belonging to the intruders, and still re-
naming on his land into the creek. The
case is still in progress as we go to press.

secure him a job at hard labor and
little pay, and such an offer can be re-
fused only under the penalty of going

tons are under military discipline, the
work severe he wages a penny or
threepence per day. and release is
granted only upon the advice of those
in charge. No difficulty is experienced
in detcrmiuiu@ between beggars and
unemployed. because all legitimate la
borers have papers given them by the
district in which they live containing
information concerning the position
they have held.
In every part of Switzerland are es-
tablished relief in kind" stations for
the exclusive use of respectable unem-
ployed Only those are admitted who
have had regular work during the
previous three months and have been

days. These men must be on the look
out for work and accept any situation
that is offered, because the chronic
loafer is soon detected by the police
