VILLAGE IS UPHELD
Appellate Court Makes Reversal
in Suit Against Milwau
kee Railroad.
IS REMANDED FOR TRIAL
Verdicts in Personal Injury Suits
Against City Rock Island
Approved.
af
Among the opinions of the appellate
court, Second district, rendered yes
terday, there wore seven cases of local
import disposed of as follows:
Village of Hamp'on vs. Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad; judgment
reversed and lemanded with direc
tions. City of Hock Island vs. dingles; af
finned.
City of Hock Island vs. J.ittig;
firmed.
Hock Island county vs. Hankin;
firmed.
. Hock Island county vs. Arp;
firmed.'
Tr: City Railway company vs.
Gould; affirmed.
Tri-City Hailway company vs. Wied
enhoeft; affirmed for $1,200.
DaniiiKrM for Ordlnnm-r lolnflon.
The village of Hampton has been
pursuing the Milwaukee road since the
company raised its tracks running
through the village above the grade es
tablished by ordinance enacted by the
village board. Suits for damages were
filed in both the county and circuit
courts. The suit in th- circuit court
fet ill is pcndiuK. Tin- reversal by the
appellate court is n the decision ' of
Judge K. K. ParmenUr, in the county
court, on th demurrer of the railroad
company. As Micro wire several legal
points in contention, on any one of
which there could be a reversal, it is
not known on which the appillate
court based its opinion. The crucial
point, however, was the position of
the railroad company that the ordin
smee on which it was nought to re
cover damages was invalid for the rea
Hon that it gave to the prisident and
clerk of the village legislative instead
of executive powers. The ordinance
provides a penalty of $" for each day
sifter notification lias been given to the
violator. T.iis would bring the l:im
iiges into the thousands, but J;;:lgo
J'arnienter ruled that there could not
be recovered in excess of $2iii on any
one suit, as !lie statues are- explicit in
dialing that not more than lint
amount can lie recovered under an or
dinance. M-li-ll Srr to Poor.
.In the affirmation of the verdicts
of the circuit court in the suits of Ir.
J. A. Rankin, of Watertown, and Dr.
A. H. Arp. of Moline. asair.st the coun
: I; fit Rock I.-Ianrl. there is established
a precedent in the liability of the coun
ty for services rendered by a physi
cian to families unable financially to
employ medical attention. Dr. Rankin
was called in by Supervisor V. R.
Carey to treat a resident of Water
town, and was assured that the county
would pay his bill if the patie-. was
not able to. The circumstance wr.s
similar in the instance of Dr. Arp
The bills presented by the physicians
I were rejected by the board, whereupon
they sued in the circuit court. The
jury awarded Dr. Rankin $140 and Dr.
Arp $240.

the city of Rock Island must pay to
Mrs. Mary Littig and Iviran CJingles
the judgments entered on jury ver
dicts in the circuit court. Mrs. Littig.
who was injured in a fall on a de
feetive walk on Fifth avenue, was
awarded damages of $l.'Ru. Mr. Gin
gles was given a verdict for $1,250 for
injuries sustained in driving into an
opening on Fourth avenue and Ninth
street while cn his way to his home
in South Rock Island. The accident
occurred at night, when the city failed
to provide danger lights.
Knllvrnv Company Suita.
The verdicts of the juries in the
personal injury suits of M. A. Gould,
of Moline. and Mrs. Bertha Weiden
hoeft, of Rock Island, against the Tri
City Railway company are sustained.
The circuit court jury fixed the dam
ages for Mrs. Veid--nhoeft at $2,01 :;.
but this apparently was consideretl ex
cessive by the higher tribunal, for
there is a reduction to $1.2oo noted.
Mrs. We il enhoeft was thrown to the
pavement while alighting from a car,
the car starting before her feet were
free from the Mop. Roth her should
ers were injured. Then? were two
trials of the Gould case. In the first
J lie jury gave a verdict of $1.5"". The
court granted a new trial to the de
fendant. The second erdiot. which is
affirmed, was for $1.1"". Mr. Gould
was ejected from a car in Moline. He
claimed that the car was in motion
;:nd that lie was thrown violently to
the pavement, causing permanent in
juries. The defence maintained that
Mr. Gould had ma le himself obnoxious
to other passengers on the car, but
that he was not handled roughly, as
charged, by the conductor. The at
torneys of the railway company say
the case will be carried to the supreme
court.

constipation or indigestion, is slill able

HAS NEW IDEA IN HEATING.
One of the Shurtleff vacuum lndler.
a now idea in heating, has been install
ed in the Rijou cigar store mid billiard
rHm on Second avenue. Mr. Shurt
leff, the patentee, is a resident of Mo
line. This is the first of his boilers to
be placed in Rock Island. They have
been tested by different parties in Mo
line, and ha met all promises. Mr.
Shurtleff confidently believes that it is
only a question of time when the vac
uum system will supplant all others.
Speaking of his system. Mr. Shurtleff
naid :
"It is n combination of all the good
points in stam. vapor and hot water
heating without any complicated de
vices. It is not ;.n attachment on an
ordinary system, but is all done by fol
lowing the natural law of production
and circulation of heat absorbed by
water in an ordinary house heating
boiler. It wi.l heat all the radiators
without pressure, which makes it safe
from danger of explosions. The heat
in each radiator can be regulated by
liand by turning the valve, like hot
water, without the danger of flooding
with water, as all water made by con
densed steam is returned to the boiler
as soon as made. This system is eco
nomical of fuel, because it will keep on
circulating heat through the radiators
after the fire has got too low to make
ordinary steam. The system works
just as well with pressure on the boiler
as it does with a vacuum.
"One of the pr ncipal advantages of
the system is t';:i there are no air
vents on any of the radiators, thus do
ing away with the i.l-fi::'ll!ns air. and
sometimes steam and water that is so
disagreeablo when forced out into
rooms and onto carpets and wall paper
by the gravity steam systems.
"All air in the Shurtleff vacuum sys
tem is drawn off in the basement near
the boiler and pij?od into the chimney
or out of the build-Ins1.'-' This is all done
without any valve to ger out of order.
The only automatic devici used js a
vessel or hall which fills or empties
itself with water rind uses the weighf
f the water fn it to fgula?e the drafts
and keep the radiators and return
pipes free of wa'er of condensation.
This hail is connected to the system of
piping by flexible tubes. One of th?
radical differences in the piping is the
-mall size of all of the pipes. In an or
linary cottage the main pipe in the
basement would be from one to one and
l quarter inches n diameter and all
-adiafors would be connected with one
half inch pipes."
