large and attentive audience could
fail to see the rottenncss of the old

Mr.. Runnels followed Crosby in a
speech of little over an hour, which
was certainly one Of the finest efforts
ever made on the stump in this city

ATTACHMENT LAw.-Saturdsy, in the

ATTACHMENT LAw.-Ssturday, in the
Circuit Court of Allegany county, Md,
Judge Pearre filed an opinion in regard
to a dissolution of temporary in
junction to restrain citizen of Maryland
from attaching in West Virginia the
wages OF a citizen of Maryland. The
matter Is of considerable Importance.
The case in question arose from the at
tachment before Justice of the Peace
at Piedmont, West Virginia, of the wages
of an employee of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad to an amount less than
500 then exempted by the Maryland
attachment law. Such action was alleg-
ed to be an evasion of said attachment
law, and an injunction was asked to pre-
vent attaching said wages. Judge
Pearre DEGREES dissolution of the tenn
porary injunction, thus confirming the
right to attach wages IN another State
due to citizens of Maryland.
