And now. after half a century's neglect and star vation, a kindly fate has at last come to the rescue of these old posting towns in the shape of an annual inva- sion of summer guests in search Of the simple life There they spend their six or eight weeks vacation, their modest requirements being supplied in these roomy old hostelries on cheap terms What the railway in it's early days had ruined 1t now has tardily CnmDanSatpd

DECISION
Of Importance in the Matter of
Shutting Off Gas Given by
Supreme Court.
tapEcIAL 70 rAE TELEanAnl

CHARLESTON, April 24.-In affirm
ing the decision of the circuit court
OF Brooke county in the case of
George VS.. the Tri-State Gas Company,
the supreme court OF appeals Tuesday
held that a company supplying gas
to premises wherein the owner has
his own gas appliances, is not liable
for failure to shut of the gas from
the premises when they are on fire,
unless it is requested to do so in some
other way Is put to notice that its aid
in that particular is necessary to a
protection Of the property, and that
unless commanded by statute or mu-
nicipal regulation there is no legal
duty compelling q gas company to
maintain and operate cut of for. the
safety of property to which it supplies
gas, and as to which. the owner has
provided the gas appliances. The
opinion was written by Judge Robin
son. ss
In the case OF the LaBelIe Iron
Works VS., the Quarter Savings Bank,
ell al. from Ohio county, the supreme
court reversed the judgm ent of the
Ohio county circuit court and a nil
capiat was entered here. The opin-
ion of the court was by President MIL
Ter, and the syllabus was as follows:
The declaration on bond of in
demn1ty given corporation issuing
/ duplicate certificate of stock in lieu
of one alleged to have been lost; pur-
suant to section SO, chapter 90, serial
section 1871, code 1913, held good on
demurrer. ;fs
"a corporation Is trustee for its
4 stockholders, and is bound to protect
\ their interests, as well an respect to
transfers and registration of its stock,
as in all other matters pertaining to
the business intrusted to it.
"In case Of loss of an original GER,
tificate of stock corporation by the
common law and now by virtue of the
I OF being secured by bond against loss,
to Issue to the owner Of the stock a
duplicate certificate, but not without
mourning liability to bona fide hold
er for value of the original certificate
not lost, and also to an innocent
holder after transfer OF a certificate
based on such duplicate certificates;
but in either case the bond or indem-
nifty taken protects il again st loss from
any source growing out or the issu-
ance of such duplicate certificates.
"Thougha good cause of action on
such indemnity bond be presented by
the declaration the corporation plant
iff must fail if its evidence is sufficient
to support the material allegations on
which right OF recovery on the bond
depends.
"Where jury is waived and case
lis submitted to the trial court on the
law and facts the rule In this court Is
to treat the case as upon demurrer to
the evidence, and IL plaintiffs evidence
is not sufficient to support the findings
and Judgment below in his favor to
reverse the judgment and enter judg-
lment here for defendant"

the case of Batten, administrator, vs..

it was held that Elf q person, resi-

ment is received against him. depart

satisfaction of it in a creditors suit
against L, and obtained satisfaction

that said decree does not merge and
destroy. the lien OF the judgment, and
that b. may amend his bill setting up
the lien of such original Judgment;
