EMECOURT e e Property Owners Ma^l Damages From Encroachmi By Street Railways. s STRICKEN DEAD WHILE COUNTING HIS MONEY Mrs. Peavy Loses Her Suit Against Robert E. Houston—Remarkable Confidence Imposed In Man by Wo man—Other Cases. Jackson, Jan. 19.—Among the de cisions handed down by the Missis sippi supreme court Monday were some of great Importance, and a few ■of less consequence, yet with inter esting points involved. Perhaps the most Important of the twenty-nine cases handled was that of Mrs. McKie Slaughter vs. Meridian Light Power Company, coming up from the chanceery court of Lauder dale county, in which the chancellor refused to allow Mrs. Slaughter dam ages alleged to have been caused her property fronting on Twelfth avenue by the running of an electric car line along that street, the specific damage claimed being that on account of the car line her property had decreased In salable value. The supreme court, through a lengthy opinion by Justice Mayes, re verses the chancellor and holds that a railway is not one of the legitimate uses for streets, as is the case with the running of vehicles, and that when ever abutting property is damaged by reason of the building of a street rail way, the owner of the property is en titled to recover. The opinion runs contrary to the weight of legal authorities, most of which, however, are old and were rendered during the experimental period of street railways. Hence, Judge Mayes, In order to overweigh the authorities, went back into the remotest history of the street railway business and after an exhaustive hand ling of the case, rested upon section 17 of the state constitution, which guarantees the careful guarding of the rights of individuals. In the case at bar it was shown that the entire width of the street was only forty feet, leaving only twenty three feet between the sidewalks, and six feet two inches on either side of the track. Only two inches were therefore left between the cars and wagons of the usual width. Remarkable Confidence. A decision by Chief Justice Whit field in what he characterized as a -most mysterious case, shows a remark able degree of confidence in a man as displayed by a woman. The case was styled Mrs. M. E. Peavy vs. Peavy E. Houston, administrator. Mrs. Peavy testified that she had had great confidence In a man named Continued on page elght. THE DAILY NEWS

Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 19.—Boise Pen rose was elected United States senator for the third time by the Pennsylvania legislature today. The hoime and sen. ate balloted separately today and will meet in joint convention tomorrow to canvass the vote. Senator Penrose is popularly class ed among the reactionaries of the United States senate snd his re-elec tion is a blow to the reform element of the Republican party, the head of the famous Quay machine which has so long dominated Pennsyl vania politics, and is denounced by his enemies as a political half-brother of Piatt and Depew. Senator Penrose was accused by President Roosevelt of be ing the revealer of the $5,000,000 spiracy to thwart him and his policies. Today's balloting was a raereformal ity, as Penrose's re-election had been decided by a caucus in which he re ceived 177 of the 212 Republican votes In the legislature.

Pope Pius was represented by Monsignor Jose Ridolfi, apostolic delegate to Mexico, who performed the act of coronation, assisted by Archbishop Gillow of Oav aca. Several bishops and archbishops, hundreds of priests and thousands of the faithful witnessed the ceremony, which took place at the Soledad church, the shrine of the virgin, which was commenced in 1683 and cost nearly a half million dollars. The robe of the virgin is covered with pearls, diamonds and other precious gems contributed by devotes during the last two and a quarter centuries and has a value of nearly a million dollars. The image of the Virgin of Soledad is alleged to have been of miraculous origin, and was discovered by tice mule-driver about the middle of the sixteenth century. The shrine is annually visited by thousands of the faithful and many miraculous are reported to have resulted through the intercession of the patron saint.
