In Case of Fraud the Statute of Limi- From the ‘Time the Fraud is Discovered. tations Begins to Ru The Court of Appeals recently decided a ce of more than ordinary interest to real estate men and lawyers. The case was that of James P. Lewis, appellant, versus | appellee, in which | William 0. Denison, Lewis sued Denison for the difference be- | tween the prices at which he authorized Denison to dispose of two pieces of real ; estate and the prices which Denison, un- known to Lewis, at the time of the sale, ac- obtained for the real estate. Denti- son, it was claimed, acted as the agent of the owner and the purchasers at the same | time. Lewis did not ascertain what he al- leges to be the real facts in the case until three years had elapsed, and Denison plead- ed the statute of limitations. The plea was sustained by the lower court, but tne Court of Appeals has reversed the judgment of | the lower court and remanded the case for |a new trial, holding that it would be a re- proach to justice to allow a man, by such a@ plea, to escape the consequences of his ‘fraud, if fraud were committed. ‘The opin- ion of the court, which was unanimous, was writien by Mr. Justice Shepard. It set | forth the case as follows: | “The first question to be decided in this | appeal is this: loes the bar of the statute of limitations run in suits at law, in the | courts of this District, where there has been fraudulent concealment of the cause of ac- tion? | “The plaintiff's cause of action is set out with elaborate detail in two counts of the declaration, and we will only state its sub- stance sufficlently to show the manner in which the questions to be decided have arisen. “The allegations are: That in January, 1887, plaintiff, who was the owner of lots | and 94, in division and Leighton’s sub- division of Mt. Pleasant, in the District of Columbia, employed defendant, who was a | real estate agent, to sell the same for him. | That defendant undertook to find a_pur- | chaser ut plaintiff's price of twenty-five | cents per square foot. “That on May 16, 1887, defendant advised him that he had contracted to sell lot 94 at | twenty-two cents per square foot, and had | received a deposit of $50 on account there- of; and urged its acceptance by him as be- ing a good trade, &c. “That plaintiff, coniiding in his good faith and acting under his persuasion, agreed to the sale at that price, and executed a deed to Lula M. Barnum, whom defendant rep- resented to be the purchaser, and received the sum of $2,158.64, out of*which he paid defendant a commission of 3 per cent for his supposed services. That in July, 1887, defendant made substantially similar rep- resentations respecting the sale of iot save as to price, which was twenty-five !n- | stead of twenty-two cenis, per square foot, and induced plaintiff, in the same way, to convey it to Elizabeth D. Battelle, who, through defendant, paid him the purchase money, to wit: $5,130.25, and of which he paid defendant a commission of 5 per cent |for making said sale. That during this time, and unknown to plaintiff, defendant as acting as agent and adv | bers. | Elizabeth D. Battelle in the investment of ‘her money, and so acting, represented to ner that said lots 4 and 94 could be bought yc thirty cents per square foot, which was the lowest price ‘the owner would take for | them. That he a her to purchase at aid price. and induced her to offer the and make the deposit to secure the (The sale of lot 98 consum- 7, and of lot 8 in July.) |That Lula M. to whom the deed | te lot $4 was made by plaintiff ai request of defendant, was not the purchaser; but was a clerk in che office of defendant, and ) mer name was used by duit of the title, the better to enable him to practice his deception. That the real pur- chaser of M4. as well as of 1, was gaid zabeth D. Battelle, who delivered to de- fendant the full amount of the price of said lots at thirty cents per square foot. That out of the sums so received defendant turn- ed over to plaintiff the purchase money at | the rates of twenty-two and twenty-five | cents per foot, respectively, less the com- | missions aforesaid, all of which was re- ceived by plaintiff without” knowledge of tne fraud and deception of the defendant. That plaintiff is entitled to recover from de. ; fendant the difference between the sums so | paid him and the sums actually received from said Battelle on the sales of the lots. “Defendant filed pleas of the statute of limitations of three years,and of not guilty, | to each count of the declaration. | “Plaintiff's replication to the pleas of limi- | tation, sets out, in avoidance thereof, that by reason of the fraud of defendant and its concealment from plaintiff, he had been kept from a knowledge of his right of ac- tion unul within three years before the in- stitution of his suit. Defendant demurred to this replication, as had in substance, and was sustained in the court below. When the Statute Runs. Justice Shepard in his opinon said that it is now universally conceded that the bar of the statutes of limitations will }not commence to run in equity until |the fraud has been discovered, or until |such time as by the use of the ordin- lary care it might reasonably have been | discovered. There has, he said, been | great diversity of opinion with respect jto the operation of this rule in ac- | tions at law. The question was thoroughly | considered by Justice Story in the circuit |court at an early day and after an ex- | haustive review of the authorities and di! cussion of the principle, he considered that the rule should be made to apply at law as | well as in equity. The weight of authority | at the present time supports the conclusion. | ‘The only expression of opinion by the Su- preme Court of the District’ which the Court of Appeals has been able to tind re- ports the same conclusion. Refecence is made to the case of Moses vs. Taylor. Justice Shepard quoted the opinion of Mr. | Justice Miller in the case of Bailey vs. | Glove in which the justice said, “To hold that by concealing a fraud or by commit- | ting a fraud in a manner that it concealed itself until such time as the party com- | mitting the fraud could plead the statute of limitations to protect it, is to make a law which was designed to prevent fraud the | means by which it is made successful and | secure.” “In accordance with these views,” said | Justice Shepard, “we must hold that the | court erred in sustaining the demurrer to | the replication. If it be made to appear on j the trial that the defendant kept the fraud meealed, or that it was of such nature as |! remain concealed after perpetration, and that therefore plaintiff did not discover it, i er any facts sufficient to put him iry, Which if followed with ordin- ence would have led to its dis- covery, unul within three years before the time or filing his suit, the statute of limita- tions will be no bar to his recovery.” ‘The Court(s Conciasions. After discussing other points in the case, j the opinion of Justice Shepard goes on to r the punishment and prevention of and in the interest of morality, de- fendant should be held to be stopped, to he did not make a bona tide sale "s lots, and that he defrauded another instead of the plaintiff, in convert- ing to his own use the difference between the money received and the money paid over. To this it may be answered that de- lant was the agent of both plaintiff and | Battelle, and that this doctrine would sub- ject him to a double recovery, because Mr: Battelle might also reco’ the . exces: which he fraudulently caused her to pay, over the price for which the prdperty couid | have been purchased. If this be true who jis to blame it? For offenses less ser- ious than this the courts have, in the proper |} forms of action, permitted tles to be | punished with exemplary, in addition to damages. ht to permit the ¢ such damages has been very rally upheid as necessary to punish, and thereby restrain willful injuries. ‘Tne defendant had no right in law or mo to become the agent at the same time two persons whose interests necessarily conflict as in the case of buyer and seller. t is a relation for which there is no | toleration, much less recognition, m courts of either law or equity. And ‘when voluntarily ves himself in such posit and defra principal, it would be a | | reproach to justice to allow him to set it | up in defen to escape the consequences | of the discovery of his fraud by either or both of the He must have carefully con- | jcealed the de ney from each of his | clients, and |b to believe that he was representing him, or her, alone in the trs ction, with an eye single to the one in Sno right to compiain, if, in an each party, he should be left, dvantase to himself is co very situation which ne held . It is proper to add that the question of the sufficiency of the declaration seems not to have been pre- in the court below, and that the ar- | sument and decision there were confined to } the legal effect of the replication to the plea of the statute of limitations. For the error pointed out the judgment appealed from must be reversed, with costs to the appellant, and the cause remanded for further proceedings, not inconsistent with this opinion; and it is so ordered.” ODD FELLOWS’ BENEFIT. A Performance That Attracted More Than Could Fill the Hall. Judging from the number of people turned away, it is safe to say that the entertain- ment under the auspices of the I. O. O. F. of the District of Columbia, given at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall, 7th street northwest, Tuesday evening for the benefit of the relief fund was a success financially; and artistically speaking, it would be hard to find a better rendered or more pleasing program than the cne given for the amusement of the ap- preciative audience which filled the little theater to its utmost capacity, and which was as follows: Reveille, Canton Potomac | Drum Corps; overture, plano duet and violin, Prof. J. F. Rueckert and daughters; “Five Minutes of Humor,” William H. Con- ley; scene from Macbeth, by Miss Julia A. Seaman, assisted by Miss Poole and Mr. Conley;’ solo, “Happy Days” (Streletzki), Miss Bianche Reuckert, with clarionet obli- gato; scene from School for Scandal: Lady ‘Teazle, Eleanore E. Poole; Sir Peter, Will- iam H. Conley. Violin sold (selected), Prof. AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s.—Laughter, which was some- thing better that the blunt response to ab- surd suggestion commonly produced by the work of the modern farceur, was the rule at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House last night when Mrs. John Drew and her com- pany appeared in Coleman’s play, “The Jealous Wife.” Mrs. Drew was charming | as usual in the exquisiteness of her art in the role of Mrs, Oakley, from whom the play takes its title, and Mr. Sidney | Drew did an excellent piece of work as) Mr. Oakley. Mr. Hanford was good, as| he always is. Charles Erin Verner and, | in fact, the cast in general made a | fevorable impression. It is not frequently | that the public has an opportunity to see: the old comedies so presented as to pre- | serve the pungent delicacy of their flavor, and the engagement of Mrs. Drew is prov- ing indeed a treat to many people. The Philharmonic Club's Concert.—The | Philharmcnic Club gave its last concert | of the season last night at Universalist , Church. All the members of this worthy | organization played in their happiest way and added to the esteem in which the | club is already held by Washington music | | lovers. Mr. J. J. Costello, formerly of St. | | Matthew's | quartet, but now of New York, | | Where he has been studying for the ; irs, sang Oliver King’s song, in “‘Is- | | two | vafel,” by Edgar Allen Poe, “The Woll , and “I'd Live in the Heart of the Storm,’ mt Roeckert. recitation’ (Lasca}, Dr, |by Mr. Rakemann.

Owing to the failure to accommodate all those presenting tickets it has been decided to give a duplicate per- formance tonight. ee Ene MISS CARROLL DEAD. A Woman Whose Services to the Union Attracted Attention. Anna Ella Carroll, a woman who won dis- | him. The amusement he provides tinction by her services to the country | during the war, died in this city on the afternoon of February 19. daughter of ex-Governor Thomas King Carroll of Maryland and was born at Kings- ton Hall, August 29, 1815. She was at the time of her death in her seventy-ninth year | and had long been a confirmed invalid from | | paralysis, brought on in a great measure, it is claimed, by her work for the Union at | the time of the civil war. For many years a claim made by Miss Carrol for national | recognition and reward for her services | to the government has been pending before Congress. A report made by Gen. Bragg, as chairman of the committee on military affairs of the House of Representatives during the Forty-sixth Congress, coniained | a statement of the services upon which this claim was founded. Miss Carroll was credited with having been the author of the | dent change of plan on the part of Pre: Lincoln, by which the armies of the Union were diverted from the intended expedition down the Mississippi and transferred up the Tennessee river and thence southward to the center of the confederate power. This change, it is held, was most advant geous to the Union cause, it being claimed that the resulting campaign prevented the recognition of southern independence, and defeated national bankruptcy. At the be- ginning of the war Miss Carroll liberated her own slaves and devoted herself through | a series of pamphlets to the cause of the Union. Her writings were endorsed by President Lincoln. Many of her letters now remain in keeping of the War Department, and all of the documents have been printed by order of Congress. ‘The Railroad to the Chesapeake. Despite the fact that the recent bad weathe> rendered the roads almost impass- able, the work of constructing the Wash- ington and Chesapeake Beach railroad was carried on uninterruptedly, and in a few days work will be in progress on the four divisions of the road, from the junction of the road with the Baltimore and Potomac railway, just east of the District line, to the bay. The pier at the beach, it is under- stood, will be completed by the middle of next July, when it is thought that one line of the double track will be in operation. The Patuxent Hotel at the beach will be begun immediately upon the arrival cf the material, and it ts hoped to complete it in time for occupancy this summer. alle acces A Divorce ited. A divorce was yesterday by Judge Cox granted Jane E. Hiil from Aaron D. Hill, who were married at Mor-ison, IL, in .'une, 1872, and lived together till August, 1892. —_— Tried to Kill Himself. David Markriter attempted to kill him- self at his home, 705 6th street northwest between 11 and 12 o'clock last night, by shooting himself in the breast. He was taken to Providence Hospital, where it was found that the wound was not dangerous, the ball having struck a rib and glanced. He is a paper hanger, aged twenty-eight years, and had been drinking heavily of Jate, and it is thought his inability to con- trol his appetite made him desperate. Drills at Fort Myer.

Mr. Rakemann, Mr. Lent, | | Mr. Lee Crandall, a promising young vio- lnist, and Mr. Anthony Fisher played a | selection from Mendelssohn and during | the evening the club played a trio by Gade. | | A quintet arrangement of Mr. Lent’s, “Dolce Far Niente,” and “Seguidailia” | closed the program. Mr. Grossmith’s Recital.—Mr. George Grossmith has probably never faced a more appreciative audience than the one | _Which filled Metzerott Hall last evening. From first to last there was laughter and applause, every effort of the entertainers being enthusiastically received. Mr. Gros- | smith’s methods are decidedly novel on this side of the Atlantic, but that they would pond become popular was evidenced by the marked increase of interest shown in his program by those who are capable of ex- oa, some sound opinion. As a mimic ir. Grossmith has few equals and as a monologue artist there are none before the public who can fairly claim to rank with is of) the most refined description and the suc- cess which has attended and doubtless | will cortinue to attefid his efforts to drive dull care away is honestly earned. When | he next calls for an audience in Washing- | ton there is great probability—should he | use Metzerott Hall—of the room being overcrowded. World's Fair Lecture.—Despite the in- clemency of the weather last night an appreciative audience attended the lecture at the Business Night High School by Miss | Anna Seaton Schmidt on the “World's Fair.” The lecture was given chiefly for the benefit of the pupils and was illus- trated with about 200 stereopticon views, thrown upon a large sheet erected in the ‘hall. The admission fees, which were small, were for the purpose of defraying the expenses. A fair number of pupils and their friends attended. It will be re- membered that a similar lecture was given at the Central High School some time ago and it is thought Miss Schmidt will re- peat it in a short time at the school on Capitol Hill. The tickets, which were dis- tributed among the day school pupils, numbering about 150, will be collected the early part of next week with those which were not sold. Many of the tickets sold were not used on account of the snow of last evening, which consequently made the attendance smaller than was expected. At the conclusion of the lecture much enthusiasm was displayed by the audience \and the lights were turned up. Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin's Reading.— On Tuesday afternoon next Mrs. Kate | Douglas Wiggin will give a reading at the residence of Mrs. Hearst on New Hamp- shire avenue, for the benefit of the Colum- | bia Kindergarten recently established by Mrs. Hearst at 2087 H street. An attrac- tive program ts promised, in which Miss Kate Field and Miss Amy e have kindly consented to assist Mrs. Wicgi Miss | Field's wide reputation as lecturer and! writer and her ability as character im-| personater are enough of themselves to bring the many dollars needed into the treasury of our city’s kindergarten society, and when united with the rare musical talent of Miss Amy Hare, whose name tn/ Washington society is the synonym of true} musical enjoyment, the ladies who have} this entertainment in charge feel justified in the hope of an earnest demand for and a speedy sale of the tickets in ald of -the! H street kindergarten, a visit to which will! surely convince one of a work going on there of rare worth, well deserving the at- tention and sympathy of this community. Se eS GRAND ARMY OFFICERS.

R., last evening at Grand Army Hall, by suspen- sion of rules a resolution was passed ex- pressing the deepest sympathy of the en- campment for Comrade James Tanner, now at Brooklyn, N.

A repulsive-looking colored man, whose name is not known to the police, but who has figured in several attempts to pose as | @ policeman and watchman, which attempts got him in trouble, claimed last week that | he was a minister of the Gospel, and gave | his name as “John H. Chittdom.” He sign- | ed his name to a paper as pastor of Mount Jersey (Mount Jezreel) Baptist Church. As pastor of a flock it was necessary for him | to visit the members of the congregation, and walking was so bad that he felt obliged to get a horse and buggy to take him from house to house. Where to get the outfit he did not know, for he was short of funds, and so he managed to induce a livery stable keeper to give him credit. At the stable of Messrs. Vinson & Perry, on G street near the government printing office, he had no trouble in inducing the proprietors to make a bargain with him and then accept from him a worthless check for $10. The alleged “reverend” was to use the outfit four days each week, and $10 was the price agreed | upon. He had used the horse two days, | and yesterday his $10 was due. Then he gave the check on the National Bank of Washington, and soon afterward it wi learned that the man had no account at the bank.
