BRIEF SKETCH OF
REV. J.W.CHAMBERS

Rev. Jno. w. Chambers of the Mis-
| sissippi Conference, whose funeral
services We're held at Ellisville yes
terday afternoon was born at Phila-
delphia, Pa. His parents moved to
Baton Rouge, La, when he was twelve
years old His education was COM
pleted in the schools of Baton Rogue
and at Centenary College of Jackson,
La. When he graduated at Centen-
airy College in 1879 he was pronounced
by DR.. c. G. Andrews, president, the
best equipped man that the college
had sent out since the Civil war. In
that same year he was admitted on
trial into the Mississippi Methodist
Conference, being twenty-three years
old. He remained a member of that
body until his death, period of thirty
years, being active and of large labors
until about a year ago when a stroke
of apopleXy caused him to seek rest
and recuperation and his son, Rev.
Jno. c. Chambers, was called from his
studies at Vanderbilt University to
take the fathers place as pastor at
Laurel. He was still unable at the
last session of the conference to ac-
cept a pastorate and his son was sent
to the Ellisville charge.
Besides conspicuous services as pas,
tor at various places, he performed
large educational work, having been
for while agent of Millsaps College
and for a number of years president
of Whitworth college.
For the last twenty years he cham
pioned the cause of the worn out
preachers and the widows and orphans
of deceased preachers and chiefly
through his efforts the annual assess
ment for that purpose in the Missis-
sippi conference increased from $4,000
to $4,000.
In his honor the schools of Ellisville
all closed yesterday, and every bust
ness house closed at the funeral hour
Floral tributes came from far and
near.
A large number of ministers of all
denominations attended the funeral,
some of whom assisted in the services
which were led by Rev. H. G. Hawkins,
president of Port Gibson Female Col
lege, who had been licensed to preach
under Mr.. Chambers pastorate at En-
terprise, Miss. The funeral addresses
were delivered by Mr.. Hawkins and
DR.. J. NJ. Weems.

The case was an interesting one in
which the two men, owning adjoining
lots between two high buildings, built
upon these lots and had between them
not only a party wall but a party
hall as we'll
The party hall was on the second
floor, with a common stairway from

both owners and their tenants.

Interesting Railroad Case.

In the case of the Alabama & Vicks
burg Railroad company VS.. Tirelli
Bros. from the circuit court of Warren
county, Judge Fletcher rendered a de.
cision reversing the lower court.
The case was one wherein TireIli
Bros. had ordered a car of bananas
which arrived during the yellow fever
quarantine from Mobile, Ala. The city
authorities forbade the delivery of the
bananas and there was nothing left
the railroad to do but to obey the in
junction.
Tirelli sued the railroad company for
the value of the bananas, setting up
the ground that there was no city or
dinance proclaiming a quarantine
against Mobile. and the lower court de.
cided in accordance with that theory.
The Supremt Court held. however.
in effect, that whether there was an
ordinance or not, the railroad company
had been prevented by the proper au-
thorities from making the delivery.
and that there was no liability against
the railroad. The interesting CUES
ton which naturally arises, whether
the city would have been held to be
liable, is not touched upon.

JACKSON, Miss, April 19.-The
Mississippi Supreme Court has decid
ed to hear no more arguments in civil
cases after the present week before
May 10, when Judge R. V. Fletcher's
term expires and Judge Sydney NJ.
Smith, of Lexington takes his place.
This announcement was made by
Chief Justice Whitfield yesterday at
the conclusion of the rendering of the
regular weekly batch of decisions, and
the purpose of it is to prevent re-
currence of the necessity for the re-
hearing of arguments, where cases
have once been argued and a change
of judges makes a rehearing necessary
in ordtr to get the arguments before
full bench.
This has inevitably and frequently
occurred during the past few months
since Judge Fletcher assumed the seat
vacated by the death of the late Judge
Calhoon when, of course, a similar
course could not have been taken as a
preventative.
This, however, applies only to civil
cases, and these will be argued during
the week. Next week the criminal
docket will be taken up and arguments
will be heard in these whenever de-
sired, regardless of the coming change.
Judge Smith, like Judge Fletcher.
will 80 upon the Supreme bench with
the handicap of being disqualified in
large number Of cases by reason of
his former connection with them. He
cannot, Of course, participate in the
consideration of any cases coming up
from the Fourth judicial district dur. /
ing his term as circuit judge there
which he has only recently vacated !
and in all such cases the appointment |
of special judges is inevitable.

cellor in Washington county whereby
an Injunction which the Supreme
Court says was not an injunction. was
sought to be held in force while an
amended bond was being prepared,
thirty days having been granted for
that purpose.
Heard was about to enter suit
against Tillman for about $1,000. Till
man applied for an injunction. which
was granted and a bond of only $4,000
was required. 1t was discovered that
this was not enough and the thirty
days was granted in which to perfect
the bond. The Supreme Court simply
held that there was no injunction at
any time and could not be without
proper bond.

Land Tax Decision.

Another interesting case decided by
Judge Mayes was that of T. NJ. Nc
Clendon VS.. A. L. Written, coming
from the circuit court of Tallahatchie
county. Written was the chancery
court clerk of the county. Nc
Clendon had some land advertised
for sale and Written had given some
sort of verbal notice instead of legal
written notice as requored by law. The
land was sold and when Written was
sued for SIS actual damage to Nc
Clendon the case was dismissed in the
lower court. The Supreme Court
holds that the chancery clerk is bound
to give written notice in such cases,
and is liable if he fails to do so.

build, an additional room in the
front hallway. This hallway being the
only source of both light and air, the
proceedings were enjoined, but the
chancellor to whom the case was su b.
mitted dissolved the injunction on the
ground that there was no written con-
tract.
The Supreme Court takes the view
that the construction of the building in
conformity with plans agreed upon, al.
though verbally, together with five
years common occupancy, is sufficient
to stop the obstruction of the hallway.

It is curious fact that, although dwellers in northern climes must have known for ages that low temperature preserves flesh from putrefaction, 1t never seems to have struck any one that this natural fact could be turned to artificial advantage until Lord Bacon stuffed the historic chicken with snow and thereby caught chill which killed him. It is perhaps even more curious that an experiment resulting in the death of one of the most eminent men in the world should not have called any attention to an already well known principle which might have been read. fly turned to great advantage. As a matter of fact. 1t was not until the year 1875. 249 years after Lord Bacon's fatal experiment, that freezing was prac- tically employed as method of pre- serving flesh.
