First Use of the New Law.
TUDGE Me AD AM, in the Superior Court
{J Thursday, gave the first decision on
the new law regarding attachments against
a non-resident's property.
The new law reads that attachments may
be issued when the injury is inflicted on
"person or property," instead of "personal
property," as of old. The damages de-
manded in the suit before Judge McAdam
were $25,000. The Judge said the law-
makers had evidently meant the Court to
use his own discretion in such cases, so re-
duced the attachment to $5,000.
The Density of Wood.
CUBIC foot of logwood weighs 57.07
pounds.
White poplar weighs 33.06 pounds to the
cubic foot.
The strength of wood increases with its
density.
Satinwood weighs 55.31 pounds to the
cubic foot.
Spanish mahogany weighs 53.25 pounds
to the cubic foot.
Well dried locust weighs 45.5 pounds to
the cubic foot.
Seasoned dogwood weighs 47. 25 pounds
to the cubic foot.
Well seasoned red hickory weighs 53.37
pounds to the cubic foot.
The Norway spruce, well dried, weighs
32 pounds to the cubic foot.
A cubic foot of beech weighs 60 pounds
green and 53 pounds when seasoned.
A cubic foot of the best cedar weighs 32
pounds green and 23 pounds dry.
