THE NEWS OF NORFOLK ON PAGES 2, 3, 5 & IU COURT DECISIONS. DIGESTED DY W- B. MARTIN, KXOLUSIVEL-Y FOR VIRGJNBA^-PILOT. Kotes of Cases Recently Decided, Which are of Interest to Our People. HIRTH V. HIRTH. Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia. February 15, 1900. UNLESS A MARRIED WOMAN HAS SEPARATE ESTATE WHEN SHE MAKES A CONTRACT, SHE IS NOT AUTHORIZED BY ESCTION 2228 OF THE CODE, TO CONTRACT. A. DECLARATION ON A MARRIED WOMAN'S ' CONTRACT MUST ? SHOW THAT SHE HAD AUTHOR? ITY TO MAKE IT. The court says: The declaration shows on Its face that ;tho promlso sued on was made by a married woman, during coverture, to ?assume the debt of her husband. Tho .'ground of the demurrer Is that the de? claration does not aver that the plain? tiff in error owned separate estate at /the time the promise sued on was en? tered into, the contention being that such an allegation is essential because phe had no power to make the alleged contract unless she did own separate estate. At common law a married woman has no power to contract; her engagements were simply void. This common law disability remains in full force in this State, except so far as modified by statute. The only power n married woman has to contract Is con? ferred by section 22S8, of the Code. This net does not confer upon a mar? ried woman-power to contract Reno rally. It limits such power to married women who have separate estates. Chapter 10.1, of the Code, relating to the separate estate of married women, was the. result of serious consideration and much labor on the part of its authors, nnd. as said by another, "If the object of the revlsors had been to emancipate all married women from the disabilities of coverture, there would have been no need of chnpter 103, of the Code, but It might have been accomplished In a few brief sentences In one section- We hold, therefore, that a married woman Is now, as at common lnw, Incapable of making a contract, unless she owns separate estate at the time the contract is made. The ownership of separate estate by a married woman being a prerequisite to the exercise by her of any contrac? tual power, it follows that. In order to maintain an action at law upon a con? tract mndo by her during coverture, It Is necessary for the declaration or other pleading filed In the cause.to aver that she not only made the promise sued on, but to aver also such a state of facts as will show that her promise Is such ns. Under the statute, she was authorized to make. Reversed. SPENCER V. C. M. & ST. P. RY. CO. Supreme Court of Wisconsin, January 9, 1900. A VERDICT CANNOT REST ON MERE SPECULATION, GUESS OR CONJECTURE. THE MERE FACT THAT WATER ENTERED A CAR INJURING A PASSENGER DOES NOT RAISE A PRESUMPTION OF NEGLIGENCE AGAINST A CARRIER. This was an action for personal Inju? ries. The court ordered a non-suit, and plaintiff appealed. The plaintiff was a passenger on one of defendant's cars, and while sitting near an open window was injured by a stream of wnter which came through the window, striking her on the head ns the train ran by. There was no evi? dence whatever ns to where the water came from. The court says: It seerns entirely plain that the Im? pression of the witness Young that the train was passing a structure of some kind at the time the water came In the car was, at best, a mere conjec? ture, and that his further Idea that such structure might have been a water tank was a conjecture founded upon a conjecture. Verdicts must be founded upon evidence which convinces the mind. They cannot rest on mere spec? ulation, guess or conjecture. ?While some of the earlier cases ap- | proved the doctrine that the mere hap? pening of an accident on a railway raised a presumption of negligence In favor of the passenger, this doctrine is now abandoned, and it is quite univer? sally held that the evidence must go further, and tend In some tangible way to show that the accident resulted from something connected with the operation of the railway. Thus the mere unex? plained fact that a missile entered the car and Injured the passenger Is Insuffi? cient. So we must hold In the present case that the mere unexplained fact that a stream of water entered the window of the car Is not sufficient evi? dence to raise a presumption of negli? gence on the part of the railway com? pany.

A SAMPLE OF MANY SENT FROM NORFOLK. The following special is from yester? day's Washington Post: Special to The Post. Norfolk, Va., March 11.?There Is al? most a reign of terror In the suburbs of this city as a result of the numerous hold-ups, burglaries, and murderous assaults which have taken place of late. Suburban residents are worked up to a high pitch, and are talking seriously of organizing a vigilance committee to make things warm for the marauders, who in every instance reported have been negroes. There has been a run upon gunsmiths and dealers In firearms, and scarcely a man can he found wild is unarmed and on tho nlort, especially when abroad after dark. To such an extent has the alarm and suspicion spread that it Is dangerous to accost a stranger on the streets at night. Men keep to the mid? dle of the roads after dark, their fingers on triggers, ready to shoot at the first Intimation of a hold-up. . The women .folk arc fast being driven tn tho verge of hysteria by their alarm and fears, and lhat their trepidation is not groundless Is shown by the almost dally reports of outrages committed in various localities. Suspicion was strong when the first crimes were reported that the attacks were the work of two or three men, or at most one gang, but there have been so many hold-ups, burglaries, and assaults upon women, and nt points so widely apart, that it now looks as If an epidemic of violence had broken out among the negroes. The attention of Chief of Police Kizer was yesterday called to this and kindred reports which have been sent out from Norfolk. He deprecated the statements made, saying they were a tissue of misrepresentations, and that no such Information had been furnished at police headquarters. He will at all times be glad to furnish correspondents the facts, which cannot be obtained ac? curately elsewhere. Reports of burglaries and hold-ups are sent in every day and investigated. But. strange to say, not more than one in thirty are found to be well founded. SCHOONER ASHORE CREW RESCUED BY A PILOT SKIFF. The two-masted schooner Lizzie James, Captain George Howard, with lumber from New Bern to New York, went ashore early yesterday morning on Hatteras Inlet bar. A heavy north? erly gale was blowing. The James went out of Ocracoke In? let Saturday morning, and had been becalmned off Hatteras for two days. She carried a crew of six men, and Is about one hundred and seventy tons binden. The entire crew wras rescued yester? day afternoon Jjy a pilot skiff from Hat? teras. The life-saving crews from both the Ocracoke and Cape Hatteras Life-Saving Stations were on the scene of the wreck with life-boats?one on each side of the Hatteras Inlet?but the seas were too heavy to launch a boat. The pilot skiff left Hatteras at 1 o'clock. The news of the wreck came to the loc al Weather Bureau over the Govern? ment seacoast line, and stated that the vessel was apparently lying easy. The vessel was too far from the shore to be reached by shot line. During the morning the wind had a velocity of forty-eight miles an hour from the north, and the temperature was very nearly freezing. Some of the crew think the vessel can be saved, while others think dif? ferently. The Merrill & Chapman wrecking tug Coley has gone to the _acejie_to attempt to rescue the schooner.

A Profound and Comforting; Discourse? Gratltudo a Cardinal Virtuo-Proceed? ing* of tho Methodist and Presbyterian Preachers' Weekly Moot tugs. Sermon by Rev. A. Coke Smith, D.D., at Epworth M. E. Church Sunday morning: Text, Psalm dli: 1-5. He said, In part: Gratitude 1s a cardinal virtue in hu? man character and absolutely essen? tial to the Christian. It is a creative grace, as faith and hope are, and can? not -be predicated of God. It Is essen? tial to all virtue in men; and a man destitute of It would be shunned ami ?regarded as capable of any vice. Grnt Itude springs from a sense of depend? ence and of appreciation of obligations conferred. It is the root of piety, the source and power of social unity. Re? move It, and men would have to be' governed by power or society would fall to pieces. It cannot exist where there is not this sense of dependence and obligation. No man who teels him? self BUfllclcnt In and of himself to be and to do, or who feels that he de? serves all that he gets ctin be grate? ful. He may esteem what he has and congratulate himself tnat he has re? ceived what he has merited, but he ; is not grateful. It Is this self esteem 1 which abounds so In us all that pre? vents our gratitude to God and men. Gratitude Is the index of a firm na? ture, the soil In which virtues flourish. Ingratitude marks an evil and thin na? ture which can produce little but the noxious weeds of selfishness. Some people feel and> manifest hut little gratitude. They receive -what comes to them with no response of thankful? ness, and If they do a favor they feel that they are giving that much away, ?and by so much Impoverishing them? selves. In others gratitude Is genuine for a while, but they soon forget, and the sense of obligation.Is dissipated. A truly noble nature recognizes obliga? tion and responds to every touch of God and man. Gratitude is the foundation of Chris? tian character. Out of It springs our love for Christ: "we love Him because He first loved us." It Is Impossible to he pious without thankfulness. A man may cultivate God ns a merchant cul? tivates a customer or aa a fortune seek? er a man of wealth for favors which he hopes to get, but this Is not piety. Our gratitude Is the measure of the gcnulness and Intensity, of our piety. Gratitude Is "always pleasing to God. He commands us to give thanks. When Christ healed the ten lepers only one, and he a Samaritan, returned to give thanks, and Christ commended him. The woman, who was a sinner who an? ointed His feet with ointment In token of her gratitude, received an enriching blessings, and was set by the Master in striking contrast with the Pharisee who.wlth patronizing condescen sion.in vited Him to dine. Gratitude compen? sates him who cultivates It. It pro? motes cheerfulness, and cheerfulness Is no Inconsiderable element in the forces of life. It keeps men from worry, a disease which kills more people than the plague. The reason why our re? ligion wears us so Is the absence of gratitude In It. This makes it burden? some to us nnd gloomy to those who observe us. Some people seem to think piety requires lugubriousness, and the longer a man's face is the deener is Iiis piety. Moroseness with such is unworldlincss; but a grateful heart is a mine of wealth and a spring of health and the piety it produces is full of sun? shine and good cheer. Gratitude prompts to obedience. Two motives move men to religious work, love and fear. Only love is acceptable \o L^od, and wit'tiout gratitude in us love to God is Impossible. Love makes labor easy; it counts not sacrlftce.and will not allow another to discharge Its obliga? tions. It Is not held back In its ex? pression because of the failure of an? other to do his duty, nor does It have to be driven to do?It longs for oppor? tunity to express Itself. Gratitude gives patience under afflictions, and lightens all the burdens of life. It prompts io charitableness toward our fellow-men In our judgments nnd In our dealings with them. It Is the main? spring of that large benevolence that Includes all men In the arms of Its char? ity. Gratitude can live only In the thoughtful heart. Isaiah complained, of Israel's ingratitude springing from lack of thoughtfulness: "The ox know eth his owner, and the ass his mas? ter's crib, but Israel doth not know, my people do not consider." Here is out trouble. We dwell on our troubles, think continually of what is denied us. ?and forget the multitude of benefits which come dally to us from our Father's hand. Our disappointment will dim a thousand blessings and a day of pain will make us forget years' of health and joy.We cultivate gratitude by dwelling on God's blessings. "Thou shalt remember all the way by which the Lord thy God hath led thee." What floods of grateful recollections would whelm our souls If we would only dwell on the blessings we have received nnd compare them with the return we have made for them. The psalmist puts spiritual blessings first, nnd this is the natural order. Only when we have he come spiritually awakened do we appre? ciate the temporal good which comes to us. God gives temporal blessings to all. but He does not cast pearls before swine. His choicest gifts can be gained only to those who love Him. Gratitude must find expression for it? self. Without this It dies. Expression increases It and gives strength to faith. He who forgets God's benefits Is full of fear; he who remembers them Is buoy? ant with hope; and we will forget if we do not express our gratitude for the good we receive. Hut how shall we ex? press our gratitude? Not In words on? ly or chiefly. "Why call ye our Lord Lcrd and do not the things which I sny?" "Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you." We are to. continue the work Ghrlst-came^to in? augurate. We are the body of the Christ: we are to do what He would do were He in our place. What would Christ do with my opportunities? How would He use what L have? ThlB Is to bo the measure and expression of our gratitude to Him. "Inasmuch as ye did It unto me." Woud we break an ala bastcr box of precious ointment on His head? Make happy the heart of one of His children and we have pleased Him more than with whole burnt offerings. The more expression we give to our gratitude the more we have of grati? tude, love and Joy. METHODIST PREACHERS. The Methodist preachers' meeting was called to order by President Chand? ler yesterday, who announced that it was the regular day for devotional services to be conducted by Rev. J. W. Carroll. The hymn, "Once More "We Come Re fore Our God," was sung, and prayer was offered by Rev. E. T. Dadmun, of High Street Church, Petersburg. The following reports of Sunday serviced were submitted: Rev. Daniel T. Merrltt had fine con? gregations at Huntersvllle Sunday, and three conversions at the Epworth League meeting In the afternoon. Chestnut Street, Berkley?Rev. J. T. Must in had two accessions; line con? gregations at both services and an ex? cellent address from Rev. YV. It. Proc? ter at the missionary meeting In the afternoon. At Cumberland Street Rev. Dr. H. E. Johnson reported the usual good con? gregations and one new member i re? ceived on profession of faith. Rev. S. C. Hatcher had a largo Sun? day school and good congregation at the morning service. At night there was an overflowing congregation to hear the last of the series of sermons on "Marriage Relations," the theme be? ing ."How to Live Happy Together." There was a large meeting of the So? cial Circle in the afternoon. Rev. George E. Hooker reported one conversion at Wright Memorial, in j Portsmouth, and an interesting mls I slonary meeting In the afternoon and a I line address by Rev. W. C. Vaden. At Lt-Kies Memorial. Atlantic City Ward, Rev. Graham II. Lambeth had the usual large congregations and re? ceived two new members. Rev. R. M. Chandler preached to a large congregation at Centenary in the morning. He reported a fine Junior Epworth League In the afternoon. This league is growing in influence and power. Rev.' E. T. Dadmun. of High street. Petersburg, gave a very encouraging report of Methodism in that city. He said that Rev. B. P. Llpscomb was do? ing .affine work at Washington Street, and that the preachers on nil the charges had promising outlooks for an advanced movement this year. His own church will be able to reduce a former debt of $12,000 for church Im? provements to $2,500 this year, and hope to wipe out the entire amount next year. The usual reports of good congrega? tions were received from Epworth, Lambert's Point, Dr. Newton's and Rev. D. B. Austin's fields. The meeting was turned over to Rev. J. W. Carroll, and the hymn, "Oh, For a Henrt to Praise My God," was sung. Mr. Carroll read the 12th Chapter of Paul's Epistle to Romans, and drew from it many practical thoughts. He defined presenting our bodies a living sacrifice to God as denying ourselves of all unrighteousness and consecrating all our ransomed powers to God's ser? vice. All these virtues must be mani? fest In our lives. When we reach this high state of Christian experience it will lead us to consider It a great priv? ilege to visit the poor of God's housc I hold and relieve their needs. When our lives are transformed by the Re? newing power of the Holy Ghost "we will be In possession of a religion that will enable us to bless our enemies and do good to them that curse us. Rev. J. T. Maslin offered a fervent prayer for the unconditional reconse cratlon of the lives of all the preachers to God and Ills work. Revs. R. M. Chandler, S. C. Hatcher, E. H. Rnwlings, Drs. Newton nnd John? son, and Rev. Carey gave Interesting and profitable Christian experiences. Dr. Newton was announced to con? duct the meeting the first Monday after I he second Sunday In April, and was requested to give an address on "The Work or the Holy Spirit on Missions in Japan." THE PRESRYTF.RTAN MINISTERS. At the regular meeting of the Pres? byterian preachers yesterday morning Rev. E. B. McCluer, of Park Avenue Church. Rrambleton Ward, opened the discussion of the subject. "The Prnyer Meeting and How to Make It Succeed." His leading points were that the meet? ing should be of a devotional character, with music full of inspiration, and that the audience should be permitted to participate In the discussion of topics presented. A full discussion followed, and the points brought out in Mr. Mc Clucr's remarks were genernlly en? dorsed. Among those present were Rev. Mr. Lacy, who has charge of Pin? ner's Point and Prontls Place Churches. The last addition to the Presbyterian clergy In this section was a visitor at the meeting.
