THE NEW HARBOUR AT ST. THOMAS.

The more comprehensive plans originally
put forward by the West Indian Company,
Of Copenhagen, having had to be materially
modified from lack of response to the invi-
tation to subscribe the necessary funds, the
work of the company has now been centred
in the construction of an up-to-date har-
bour at st. Thomas, the actual work in con-
n%ection with same being about to start, This
is by no means q small undertaking, involv-
ing an outlay of upwards of $500, 600. The
location of the new barbour is to the south
east of the town of Charlotte Amalie, in a
corner OF the far-famed natural harbour of
this island. There will be built q steel quay
of considerable dimensions, and a commodius
basin dug to a depth of 94m ,which-the

"In dig it up. Gus" said she; and as
neither Gus" nor the clam objected she

When the clam was broken open IT'S

ordinary clam "innards" should. But a
close inspection proved that the abnor-
mai glitter was caused by a ring set
with three large diamonds. Gus care

JUSTICE Burr AGAIN

Appellate Court JuriSt Had No
Right to Hear King Suit,
He Says.
CALLED lITIGANT'S LAWYER
R. H. Wilson, Vice President of
Brooklyn Bal Association,
Accused of Taking Fees
from Both Sides.

Justice Scudder. in the Supreme Court,
Brooklyn. made yesterday a second at
tack upon Justice Joseph A. Burr, of the
Appellate Division, and Robert II. Will
son. vice-president of the Brooklyn Bar
Association. His attack was contained
in a decision refusing a new trial in the
case OF George W. Seward, administrator
OF the estate of William Il. King. against
Frederick II. Tasker, Of Greenport. Long
Island
Tasker had been counsel for Buell. G..

Kings relatives then tried to get back
from Tasker the counsel fees he had re-
ceived from Davis.
In a decision last May Justice Scudder
accused the Appellate Division of ignor-
ing the decision OF the Court of Appeals
in giving the estate to Kings relatives.
and there were two or three other points
on which he dwell particularly yesterday.
The first of these was that Justice Burr,
while a member of the firm Of Burr
Coombs & Wilson. Of No. go Broadway.
Brooklyn. was attorney for King. and
that. when the case was later brought
before the Appellate Division by his old
partner. he sat in the case and wrote an
opinion. The mere fact that Justice Burr
sat at the hearing. according to Justice
Scudder. made the decision void. since
he was not qualified to do so.
Justice Scudder declares that Wilson
first acted as Mrs. Kings attorney. and
then. after her death, became attorney
for Kings relatives. and had proceeded
