Down Decisions.
PERFECT INSURANCE PLEAS.
A Horse Trade in Which Sickness Was
a Factor— Common Carriers Liable
for Personal Baggage. Tpy
In the supreme court yesterday the
order of the lower court was reversed in
the case of the Farmers' Union Elevator
company, respondent, vs. the Syndicate
Insurance company, appellant, and five
other insurance companies. The de
fendant owned elevators on the line of
the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
and Northern Pacific railways, includ
ing one at Hawley, Clay county, Minn.
The Liverpool Syndicate . Insurance
company, Liverpool, London & Globe,
Fire Association of Philadelphia, Amer
ican Fire, Queen and Lancashire Insur
ance companies, wrote policies of in
surance on the grain in the elevators of
the company, "as per schedule in
closed," which schedule did not contain
the name of Hawley. Claiming an error,
the elevator company brought action for
reformation of the policies of insurance
and for a recovery upon the policies so
reformed. The trial court allowed the re
lief sought, but the supreme court,
through Judge Dickinson, reversed the
decision. The syllabus of this case is as
follows:
.' Rule as to the incompetency of one
interested in the event of an action to
testify as to conversation with a de
ceased party relative to the matter in
issue, applied to a case of an alleged
agreement made with a corporation
through an agent of the latter who had
since died. The decision of a trial court,
upon a case including material evidence
improperly received, cannot be sus
tained upon a statement of the court
that even without such evidence its
decision would have been the same.
Judgment reversed and a new trial
granted. Dickinson. J.
The order sustaining the demurrer to
the complaint was sustained in the suit
of The State Bank of Duluth, appellant,
vs. James E. Henry et al. Judge Dick
inson rendered the decision, in which
Judge Mitchell took no part. The case
is expressed in the following syllabus:
A provision in the charter of the city
of Duluth requiring contracts for street
improvements to contain an agreement
by the contractors to pay for all labor
and material furnished, and that a bond
be executed by such contractors to the
city conditioned, among other things,
for such payment, construed as in
tended to secure the payment of
those furnishing labor or mater
ial to the contractor. A contract
and bond executed to the city pursuant
to the charter construed in like manner.
The charter providing that in case of
default to fulfil the terms of such a con
tract the city— the obligee— might main
tain an action upon the bond and re
cover judgment for all damages sus
tained in the premises, held, that such
remedy was exclusive, aud that labor
ers whom the contractor had failed to
pay could not maintain an action oh the
bond in their own names. Order af
firmed. DICKINSON, J.
Four other cases of minor importance
Were disposed of by the court yester
day. The syllabi are as follows:
J. C. Rollins, respondent, vs. H. K.
Wibyc, appellant.
Syllabus — Upon the trial of a
cause not involving the element of
fraud, the issue being whether
an eral contract for an exchange of
horses was absolute or upon the express
condition that the horse in question was
sound and healthy," the answer commit
ting the allegations of the complaint
that the horse was sick, held error to re
ceive evidence 011 the part of the plaint
iff showing that the defendant knew
that fact, such evidence being unneces
sary for any other purpose. The "fact
that the horse was diseased, unless
known to both parties," could not affect
the determination of the issue as to
whether the agreement or exchange was
absolute or conditional. Order denying
a new trial reversed. Dickinson, J. '
Louis Foutaine et al.. appellants, vs 11.
T. Bush et al., respondents.
Syllabus— A defendant denying in
his answer the making of the contract
upon which the action is brought may
avail himself of the defense that the
agreement was void under the statute of .<
frauds. An acceptance, to be effectual
to avoid the effect of the statute of
frauds, as to oral agreement for the sale
of personal property, must be more than
the mere receipt of the goods allowed.
Even though the buyer, not yet having
accepted the goods, designate a common
carrier to whom the seller is to deliver
the goods for transportation,, and al
though the goods are so delivered and
transported to the buyer, that alone Is
sufficient to constitute acceptance.
Order refusing a new trial affiirmed.
Dickinson, J.
William B. Shaw, respondent, vs.
Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
appellant.
Syllabus— A common carrier is liable
as such for the personal baggage of a
passenger delivered to and received, by
it solely for transportation and not for
storage, although for the convenience
of the carrier the passenger consents to
some delay in the transportation. Order
refusing a new trial affirmed.
7, 7.'- 7 Dickinson, J.
W. S. Brockway et al., appellants, vs.
Newlin R. Frost, respondent.
Syllabus— agreement for the con
veyance of a designated number of
acres "in"' a specified larger tract of
land, the subject of the agreement not
being otherwise designated, is ineffect
ual because of uncertainty to transfer
or create an interest or right in any
land. Order refusing a new trial af
firmed. Dickinson, J.

The revival of the beautiful opera
"Patience," by the Cecilian Opera com
pany at the People's theater this even

prove one of the social events of the
season. This company consists of the
cream of local talent in the Twin
Cities, and it has given fifteen perform

with merited plaudits, and deserved
marks of approval. The performance
of "Patience" by this coterie of amateur

"So that's the two-tongued : girl,"
murmured a tall, lank individual, as he
gazed upon pretty Fannie Green at
the Dime museum. . /.
'. "Yes, that is she," assented the lect
urer in his pure Anglo-Saxon. 7"- 7 7;
"Been that. way since" birth, : hasn't
she?" continued the thin man. 7"1
thought so. Say, don't you think she
ought to be killed?"
"What!" demanded the lecturer in
horror-stricken accents. . "Would . you
cut off that fair young flower, whose
.uridine beauty is just beginning to
make more lovely this dull and sordid
earth? Would you close forever those
soft blue eves that seem of heaven?
Would you lay that dainty head with
the dainty flaxen' curls in the narrow
tomb? Begone, sir, with your base
thoughts."
"She ought to : be killed," repeated
the tall man, positively. .7'- '.-'*'
"Why?" demanded the lecturer,
fiercely, all the fine, delicate feelings
rising to the surface and giving his face
a fine Titian flash, while his hair be
came a little more perpendicular.
"Because it is a dangerous prece
dent," announced the tall man, slowly
and with mournful emphasis on each
word, which indicated that he was ad
vancing a proposition that would . en
gage the attention of the thinking men
of the world.
»"A dangerous precedent!" repeated
the lecturer, with strong stress on the
adjective. "Why, sir, you are not wor
thy to be called a man. Know you noth
ing of the sweet music of women's soft,
speech? It is the melody of the gods.
It is the most beautiful harmony of
sounds in nature. Have you not hung
on the wooing accents as they fell from
cherry lips, aud while the car is made
drunken with the melody, the eye is
captivated by the lovely face? And,
while listening, have you not wished
that you had lived long ago in the deep
silence "before the winds were made,"
and that the fair creature had a thou
sand tongues to sneak to you?" .
"Pardon me, but you have a tendency
to make me ill," .said the thin man,
\ after lie had gazed upon the lecturer in
a surprised sort of a way for a few mo
ments. ■ 7.;-7 : -iV- ■'■ - -'■-•■
There was a pause, during which the
lecturer gazed into space with far-away
eyes, and the thin man drew large,
blonde peanuts from his pocket and pro
ceeded to asticate them. «
"Married?" demanded the thin man,
abruptly. 7 77.. 7 7,
"No— ah— that is "
"You are willing to be, I see. Young
man, I am married," and the thin man's
. tones grew deep and earnest; "so listen,
. for 1 know whereof I speak. When you
are courting a two-tongued girl it would
be very pleasant, indeed. With one
tongue she could eat - onions, for in
stance, so when : you came to kiss her
you would not get the benefit of it. And
"it would be very nice tor the girl, for
with one tongue she could call her
mother a lap-eared dishwasher and with
the other discourse with you about the
dignity of domestic pursuits, and how it
would break her heart to leave her kind
mother, whom she loved with I a strong
eighteenth century strength, tinged
with the Meisterschaft system."
f "Sir," interrupted; the lecturer, in
chilling accents, "you are a cold, hard,
unfeeling brute." Then- the lecturer
bit another quarter section out of a plug
of tobacco and prepared to listen.
"But when you're married, you'll find
that it is different. You may have been
informed that one or two people who
are not discussing Robert Elsmere are
trying to find out if marriage is a fail
ure. Sir, marriage is a failure, but
with a two-tongued wife it would be a
riotous, unholy farce. With one tongue
your wile would be toying with your
sensitive feelings for staying out after
9 o'clock, while with the other she
would be jumping upon you for looking
at the servant girl oftener than twice a
week. With one she would coax you to
buy her a sealskin sacque. while with
the other inform you casually that she
would have to nave her mother visit her
if she didn't get * it. With one she
would discourse eloquently about the
rights of woman. She would tell you
what brutes and tyrants men are. With
one— but the outlook is so appalling I
dare not go further. But one thing is
certain, that girl ought to be killed; the
precedent is too dangerous."
"Why?" asked the lecturer absently.
"Because when that girl is married
and she realizes the advantage two
tongues give her, she will immediately
do her utmost to give her children the
same unhallowed double tongue she
possesses, and in a few years the world
will be lull of them."
The lecturer smiled sadly andAvalked
away. 7 7"; v

ONLY A BAD COLD.
Senator-Elect Washbnrn Reaches
Chicago, and Talks of His Ill
ness and Politics. ,
Special to the Globe.
CHicAGo.Jan. 31.— Gen. W. D. "Wash
burn, senator-elect from Minnesota, ar
rived in this city this morning on his
way to New York. He declares the re
port of his serious illness to have been
greatly exaggerated. His most serious
trouble, he says, was a bad cold. Re
ferring to politics, Senator Washburn
says: "I don't see how it is possible
for Gen. Harrison to construct a cabinet
without Blame. In my opinion there
is every reason why he should be called
to the chief place, and 1 . believe he
will." Continuing, Mr. Washburn ex
pressed the opinion that if Senator Alli
son went into the cabinet it would be
under pressure. Referring to the post
master generalship, he said he would
not be surprised if Mr. Wanamakerwas
appointed to the place, and also that he
had reason to believe that California
would be given the secretary of the, in
terior. In the course of his remarks
Gen. Washburn said: "Thirty days
ago Gen. Harrison said to me that he
did not see how he could take a member
of his cabinet from New York, and the
matter was giving him (the president
elect) considerable trouble." Senator
Washburn left this afternoon for New
York.

MORTON AFTER "WINK."
The Famous Left-Hander May Play in
Minneapolis. — -
DITCHER MORRISON SIGNED/
The St. , Paul Curlers Beat Those of
£■ 7. Minneapolis in the Final 7
ciw- •"- ' Contests. .
■ Manager Sam Martin received, a tele
gram from Milwaukee yesterday asking
whether he wished to buy Winklem.-i's i
release, stipulating $.00 as the price.
Winkleman was sold to Milwaukee last
fall '7 by Ex-Manager Gooding 7at. the,
time there was a general disbaridment
of the old Minneapolis club. Morton
saw some of- Wmklemah's work last
year, and is a little inclined "to think
favorably of the Milwaukee proposition
and sign him. Winkieman is undoubt
edly as good a pitcher as any signed up
to the prssent time by the West
ern" association. He is a general
favorite in 7 Minneapolis, r and always
proved a drawing card. He is a hard
hitter, and what is better— sure "one.
He is also a good base runner, and does
fair work in the outfield. His pitching
last year, while hardly up to his stand
ard, was in some cases phenomenal. To
strike out ten and twelve men during a
game was by no means a rarity with
him, while at other . times he had no
control of the ball whatever. He' is
considerable of a \ hot-house .. plant, is
Winkleman, and can only be worked to
advantage about twice " a week, and
then .ou exceptionally hot days. ■■ The
warmer the weather, the better ball he
can serve. On the whole, the acquisi
tion of Winkleman to this year's Min
neapolis team would be a card, and
would go a long ways toward assuring
its success, as far as patronage was con
cerned, at least. : - ' . ' ' ;:"
Among the other players signed by
Sam Morton is Mike Morrison, who
pitched last year for Cleveland. Morri
sou is a first-class man and - did some ■
good work last season. He bats well
and runs bases in a truly artistic " man
ner.
The Sprague muddle is just as com
plicated as ever. Despite the fact that !
the Cleveland papers are continually
sending out reports to the effect that
Pitcher Sprague has been signed by the"
Cleveland 'club, there is a mistake
somewhere. Pitcher Sprague has not
been released from the reserve list of
the old Chicago club as yet, and Sam ;
Norton has not been notified- either by
the pitcher himself or by President.
Young. Sam said yesterday -that "Tie;
thought he had something to say in the
matter and that he should continue', to
look upon Sprague as his own property
for some time to come.
" CURLIaG CHAMPIONS.
St. Paul Wins the Deciding Game
■■.>-.-.■- With Minneapolis. .7 7;
The. third and decisive game in the
curling contest - between the Tnistle
club, of Minneapolis, and the St. Paul
club for the championship of. the Twin
Cities and a fine pair, of curling stones,!
presented by J. Hastings, of the Thistle
club, was held at the Morton ice rink
last evening. Iwo games' have been
laved before, one, of which was won
by each team, and there was consider
able interest, and excitement among
curlers as to the outcome of last night's
game, which was the last of the series.
Durling the.earlierpart of the game the
boys from the Saintly City ran up the
points in a way that made the" Thistle
laddies look tired and play hard, but
later in the ■ evening the Minneapolis
boys did better, and at the finish the
score stood as follows:

stone Statesman. 7 " -.-Hf^ "."7^ ;>■
Boston, Jan. John Griffin, of
Braintree. Mass., and Frank Murphy,
the feather-weight champion of Great
Britain, faced each other to-night at the
Athenian club, for a purse of 1500.
Griffin stripped at 221 pounds and Mur
phy at 122. ". Eighteen 7 rounds were
fought, and the- fighting was hard at
times, though not as savage as was an
ticipated. : Murphy drew first blood in
the first round and knocked Griffin
squarely down in the eighth. Griffin's
left eye . was closed and his hands
swelled badly;* but Murphy, to whom
the fight was awarded on points, was
apparently as fresh as a daisy at the
finish. The leading throughout . the
fight was about even and Oriffin made a
game fight, but Murphy showed himself
the better man, and it was evident in a
fight to a finish he would ■ prove the
; winner. The battle was witnessed by
one of the largest crowds ever gathered
at the club rooms.
