Cases Argued and Suttlcd--l'lltv-flvo
I'nsicd Upon in Alt by tho
Courts.
Owing to Monday being a holiday,
the cases set down on the argument list
for that day were merged with those
for yesterday nnd as n consequence the
Judges had a very busy session. Fifty
live cases in nil were passed upon, four
teen arguments being heard,
Tho very complicated nnd somewhnt
Interesting case of Owen Connolly
against Thomas Shannon, which was
made additionally Interesting by an In
cident which occurred while It was on
trial, was all gone over again by At
torney E. C. Newcomb, representing
tho plaintiff, and Attorneys A. A. Vos
burg nnd John F. Murphy, counsel for
the defense. It came up for nrgument
on the defendant's petition for a new
trial.
The suit is brought to recover posses
sion of a lot of land In Mooslo. Mrs.
Sarah Shannon secured tho Innd from
her father. There was n small balance
duo on the contract which was In a
short time wiped out. John S. Jenkins
sold the land as tho property of Mrs.
Shannon's husband, John Shannon, and
buying It In himself, sold it later to
Thomas Shannon, son of John and Sarah.
After tho death of Sarah Shannon,
Thomas Shannon entered Into posses
sion. Owen Connolly after this sold
the lot at sheriff's sale for a debt which
Sarah Shannon, the deceased, owed
him.
QUESTIONS SUBMITTED.
As It was a strife between the cred
itors of the wife and the husband, the
trial judge submitted three questions
to'be answered by the Jury, and said
ho would mould a verdict from the an
swers. The jury answeied two of tho
questions, but could not ngree upon the
answer to the third. They separated,
Intending to meet again in the morning
nnd mako their report to court. Soon
after separating the foreman of the
jury, II. V". Kingsbury, learned from
a court attache that they should not
have separated until all three ques
tions were answered, without court's
permission.
He thereupon gathered the scattered
jurymen and three hours later they
once more took up tho consideration o
the third question. Although they
wrestled with it all night they could
not come to nn agreement, and when
court convened they so reported. A
verdict in favor of the plaintiff waa
moulded irom the two questions an
swered and this the defendant now con
tends was Irregular. Fault is also
found with the recess taken by the
Jurymen.
Tn tho case of the North End Lum
ber company, limited, against John C.
Willie nnd others, tho rule to strike off.
mechanics' lien was made absolute by
agreement.
In tho case o Annie Melvln and
others against Johnllandleyand others,
tho rule to substitute executions of tec
ord for the defendant was made abso
lute. The case of James Olwell & Co.,
against P. Messett was argued and tho
rule to strike off judgment was made
absolute. Tho rule for a new trial was

his younger brother, who went a-swlm-mln'
to Nay Aug.
"I lino you $3 or ten days In tho coun
ty Jail," said Alderman Millar. ,
"Can I leave a forfeit?" asked Arm
strong quickly.
"What Is the forfeit?"
"A watch." Whereuponhe boy took
from his pocket a sliver watch. "It's
worth $5," ho aid. He'd like to got
out so that he could peddle the evening
papers. Alderman Miliar liked the
young fellow's style. He gave him un
til Suturday to pay the money, and re

When the hour for tho hearing ar

North Mill Resumes nnd South Mill, It
Is Reported, Wilt Soon Resume,
After a six weeks' idle spell tho North
mill started up yesterday morning on
dingle turn, giving employment to
nearly 300 Hands. It was feared for a
time that a delay would be caused by
tho breaking down of engine No. 3 at
tho blast furnace, but one of the other
engines was brought into Ubo and the
only disaster resulting from tho acci
dent was the damage to the engine
nnd the breaking of a few windows by
the steam which escaped from a pipe
burst by a shaft of the engine striking
It.
As to the South mill nothing ofllclal
can bo learned but Ii was given out
from a reliable source yesterday that
there) will be a notice posted In a few
days announcing that the South works
