' Word comes from London that the Mar ¬

ot which (treat results were ex-

pected¬

, has been abandoned by Itspromoters. The syndicate which kepttbo boom In working order for over a yearlias arrived at the conclusion that there la

fuss long before the Improved handling ol

the old discovery had got beyond the labo-

ratory¬

stage. Illg bralne are now workingupon it and In duo course a practical mcthoiot utilizing the discovery will probably bforthcoming.-

Prof..

. Oliver Lodge , for Instance , says hehas an entirely new method ot telegraphingwithout wlrce , which will , he hopes , enablehim to send messages long distances. He

does not depend upon waves , but upon mag-netism , which is Independent ot obstaclesand ho believes It will bo applicable to slg-

nallng between ships and the bhonand chips. Prof. Lodge's ideaa arc not foiale to any syndicate.

court In passing upon the qucstloiwent thoroughly Into the subject of nega-tlve averments , distinguishing the cases I

which they as exceptions and provisos li

Is followed by an exception , under ccctalcases and conditions , that In such casesIs sufficient to plead the general vlolatlc-of the law without reference to the fathat the defendant Is not ono coming withthe exceptions thereto , and that where thei-

Is no general prohibition relating to all peeons and conditions alike , then the ecentlon Is a part of the description ot tloffense , and the exception as a negatl'averment must be alleged ; that to that tldefendant does not come within tbo e-

garbage presupposes , nvtlhout any perailssloutside , that it will be dumped at serplace within the city limits , and tordinance implledly says the eame. Wh-It says any person who shall deposit garba-ta any other place within the city , exceptplaces designated , shall be fined , that is ,

Implledly says that garbage may be depositIn the city limits at designated places. Thapplying the test above referred to , had tordinance read and had the city the authorl-to make It read In substance as follow'No person shall deposit garbage within tcity limits , except under certain conlltlonSuch general prohibition would permitallegation In the complaint that the defenant did unlawfully deposit , etc. , but whthe ordinance Infercntlally says a persmay deposit garbage within the city llmwithout the general prohibition as topersons , the pleader must allege that tdefendant did unlawfully deposit garbawithin the city limits at a place tdesignated by the Beard of Health."
