MERRIWETHERST.
HUMP GETS into
SUPREME COURT.
c. G.. & N. Will Ask Writ of
Prohibition to Hold Up
Paving Work.
JOHN A. HOPE WILL FILE
PETITION ON TUESDAY
Himmelberger-Whitelaw Sui
Comes up in Supreme
Court Monday.

That the question of taking the
hump out of Merriwether street and
improving that thorOughfare will be
taken to the Missouri Supreme Court
this week became known in the Cape
yesterday. Senator Thomas F. Lane,
attorney for the city, received no.
tice that the Cape Girardeau & North
ern Railroad will appeal to the Su-
preme Court to stop the proceedings
here.
A suit is pending in the Common
Pleas Court to have the grade changed
for paving Merriwether street. In so
doing, it is necessary to appoint a
commission of three men to assess
benefits and damages against the
property that will be affected.
The suit now in Common Pleas
Court names as defendants only those
owning property on Merriwether street
between Aquamsi and Sprigg, the seq
ment that will be improved with paw
ing. 1t is urged by the attorneys for
the railroad that a benefit district
should be outlined in which property
owners should be made to share the
expense of the improvement.
That phase of the case was tried re-
Gently before Judge John A. Snider
of the Common Pleas Court, and he
overruled the objections of John A.
Hope, attorney for the railroad, and
named the board of commissioners.
The commission was composed of A
C. Mastering, C. c. HALEY and Den
mis- Scivally, County Highway Engi-
neer.
The notice that Lane received yes
terday was a notification from Hope
that he will file petition in the Su-
preme Court asking for a writ of pro-
hibition restraining the Common Pleas
Court, Judge Snider, and the city Off
Gals as we'll as the members of the
commission from going ahead with the
Merriwether street property appraise-
ment.
Should the Supreme Court enter
tain the petition, the case will have
to be tried out before the tribunal and
it VIII be years before the improve
ment work may proceed.
At the same time that Lane received
the Merriwether street notification, he
was advised that the J. H. Himmel-
berger-R. G. Whitelaw suit over a
$4,000 on a note Connected with the fl
nances of the Cape's street railways,
will be taken up in new phase in the
Supreme Court tomorrow.
Whitelaw appealed a judgment that
Mr.. Himmelberger obtained against
him for $4,000 to the Supreme Court.
On June 26, last, Senator Lane and
Maj. Giboney Houck, as Whitelaw's at
torneys obtained writ of error in the
Supreme court, and now Himmelberg-
er's attorneys have filed a motion to
dismiss the writ of error. This will
be argued before that tribunal at
once.

ART IN HOUSE TERRACING
Subject That Deserves Much Thought
as II VIII Make or Mar Appear
ancs Of Homo.

Terraces, particularly house ter
races, which are all those upon small
b. uunds. belong to architecture, and
should therefore be kept closely In
connection with its kind. All house
terraces. those close about or parallel
to buildings. belong to the structure
adjacent and should be kept as close
up as possible. Terraces usually allow
for a liberal bed of plants next to the
buildings, then a path, level apron
of equal or slightly greater width on
the outside of path, and then the ter
race. IL there be but one, drops down
into the field. IL there be more than
one terrace each successive one as
they leave the building must he broad.
er than the one above, and thus they
drop by ever-easing and more gencr-
Gus extent to the field below This
field does not mean vast extent, but
what remains of the premises. The
mistake is often made, and it is a
serious one, of building the terrace
broader than the field. a reversal of
art that is inveighed against by every
authority who has written upon the
subject.
