ATTEMPT TO PREVENT
GARAGES ERECTION FAILS
Citizen Must Show He Would SUI.
fer Damage Peculiar to Him.
self, Court Holds.

The question of the right of the citizen
to snjoip a prospective nuisance was
declared by Justice Gould today adverse
ly to the citizen, when he declined ia
grant a temporary injunction to prevent
the erection Of a garage by the Terminal
Taxicab Company on the site of the old
Heurich brewery, near 10th and NJ
streets.
The court held that the plaintiff, Hiram
B. Weeks. father-in-law of Representa-
tive Roberts of Massachusetts. must show
actual damage to his property. peculiar
to himself and different from that euf-
fered by the general public, by the con-
struction of the proposed building before
he has standing in equity to enjoin Its
erection. A mere violation of a munic-
ipal ordinance or regulation. the court
declared, was not SUFFICIENT Of itself to
entitle a citizen to an injunction.
The court intimated that If, subse.
quently, it appeared that the operation OF
the garage became an actual nuisance
the plaintiff would have his remedy.
Mr.. Weeks alleged that the permits Is.
sued for the erection Of the building and
the conversion Of the property to garage
purposes were void because Of certain ir.
regularities.

SAYS SHE DIED IN 1908.
Expelled Healer Declares Present
Death Is of Impostor.

HARTFORD, Conn. December 5.-"Dr.
r. C. Harmon of East Windsor Hill, an
early pupil of Mrs. Eddy, but recently
expelled from the church, denies that
Mrs. Eddy died Saturday night In Bos-
ton. He says, and has so alleged for
some time, that she died a year and a
half ago.
Il do not believe any death has &C.
CURED at Chestnut HILL he said last
night, but if there has, it is that Of a
substitute for Mrs. Eddy and an impos-
tor. Mrs. Eddy died a year and a half
ago. If those who got control OF Mrs.
Eddy have now given out news of her
death it is because it was forced through
numerous suits brought in various parts
of the United States to wind up her af-
fairs
Mr.. Harmon alleges that Mrs. Eddy
told him years ago that he was the best
qualified of any of her pupils to succeed
her. His name was dropped from the
rolls Of healers about year ago, but in
spite o. the fact of his expulsion he has
continued to practice. He said last night
that he would make no effort to become
Mrs. Eddy's successor and had no de.
signs on the treasury of the church.
