Lauterbach & Johnson (Henry L. Scheuernmn, of counsel), for appellant.
J. Culbert Palmer and Rufus M. Williams, for respondent.

It does not appear in this case that any erroneous principle was adopted by the commissioners in making their award, or that any allowance was made for noise. It is not usual for an appellate court to Interfere with awards of commissioners upon the question of damages merely, and we find no reason for such interference in this case. The order should be affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements.
