Gently in the matter Of The opening Of
North avenue OF other streets to Belair
svenae. certain property Of Lewis Math's
was taken for which - yet payment Of
the award has not been made by the
city. Alexander Y. Dolfield, q credi-
tor, obtained judgment against Muth
for $2.O01 and to secure the amount
caused an attachment on the judgment
debt to issue out of the Court OF COM
mon Pleas against the mayor and City
Council as garnishee Of Muth. Judge
Carey on Saturday heard argument on

City Solicitor Findlay and Bernard Car
ter. the latter representing other credi-
tors, for, and John B. Wentz, counsel
for plaintiff, against the motion. He
granted the motion and directed the
attachment to be quashed. The court
decided that an attachment could not
lie against municipal corporation. even

city employee; that the municipal cor

Of the attachment law Of the state. and
that It is exempt from attachments in

The most astonis hing bet on the Pres
idential election is that of two old
Springfield topers. one true Bourbon
Democrat, and the other dyed-in-the-
wool Republican. that the loser shall
go without his daily drinks-be per-
feet teetotaler, in short, for the remain
der of the year. and that the other shall
have the privilege Of tantalizing him TO
any extent.
Should any elector die or be disabled.
there is no legal method Of filing his
place, except where the State has made
provision, and should one OF the cleo
tors absent himself for any reason from
the meeting Of the electoral college,
which meets in every State capital on
the first Wednesday of December, the
result might be entirely changed.
John Quincy Adams had most hot
