Marie Pickett's Ml Dismissed Sho Fell Down on the Stairs and Also on Her Case Asked for S25,50O. Mario Y. Pickett, who -was suing Henry Newell for 525,500 damages In Judge Stewart's court, moved for a dismissal dis-missal of the case yesterday, and the motion was granted by the court without with-out prejudice. The plaintiff complained that the defendant, de-fendant, who was the manager of the Morlan block on Second South, caused tho Moor on the landing to be kept In such a slippery condition that on the morning of February 12 the plalntirf, whose husband had rented some rooms In the block, fell down the stairs. She stated that her hip, back and spine were' permanently Injured. The defendant denied that the fault was his, or that of any of his' agents or servants, and said that he was not responsible re-sponsible for tho plaintiff falling down. TREATY WITH ITALY. One Will Bo Ready for Signature Early Next Week. WASHINGTON. Nov. 2. The French arbitration treaty,' concluded yesterday, will bo followed by a treaty with Italy, which, It Is expected, will bo ready for signature early next week- The French treaty, while not yet ratified by the Senate Sen-ate and consequently not In force, is believed be-lieved to bo so carefully framed as to In-suro In-suro favorablo action In tho last stage. If this is so It will be the first arbitration arbitra-tion treaty of general scope to which the United States has been a party. There havo been various special arrangements, ar-rangements, such ns the Behrlng sea arbitration, ar-bitration, that providing for tho adjust-' ment of the Alaskan boundary', the Venezuelan Ven-ezuelan claims settlement nnd the like, but each and all of these were limited in operation to ont' subject and they expired ex-pired as soon as that subject matter had been dealt with. The only attempt at the formation of a genernl treaty broad enough In Its terms lo cover moat any subject of dlsputo that might arise In the futuro was the convention con-vention drawn by Secretary Olney and Lord Pauncdfoto In the closing months of Cleveland's second administration, and which still slumbers unacted on In tho pigeon holes of the executive office of the Senate. The failure of the Senate to act In thnt case has deterred succeeding Secretaries of State from heretofore attempting again to secure the conclusion of an arbitration arbitra-tion treaty, but Secretary Hay feels that the time la ripe for a renewal of tho effort.
