SALE OF Paws The sale of pews in the

was more than success The pews were
suctioned off BY James NJ. Buford, and the
sales that evening amounted to $4,000. The
price OF the pews ranged from Sl05 to $40
each, and the premiums from s. to S25.
Since the sale on Saturday night the re-
naming pews have been sold at private sale,
and there are mum Der we hear who are as
yet unaccommodated. The removal of the
organ to the north end of the church has
considerably cur.siled the room. and the

G2 United states supreme Court.
Despatch 20 the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA. - In the Supreme
Court of the United States to-day an opinion
was delivered on the motion recently made to
retire TO the docket for revision the case of
Deming against the United States, on appeal
from the Court of Claims. The Court says the
case was supposed to involve the constitution
ality of the Legal-tender act The plaintiff had
given a general power-of attorney to Latham to
sell or assign the claim, but denied that he
gave authority to consent to dismissal of the
case.
This, however made no difference, as the mo-
tion was Withdrawn by counsel. The present
motion TO restore was submitted to the dscre-
tion of the Court, who now, under the circum.
stances, unanimously deny it. The Judgment
therefore stands as originally rendered in favor
of the United States.
