OBITUAR
DEATUlOF WIN. II. MAZE.

Mr.. VIM. Heath Naff Ian old and we'll
known citizen, died on Saturday after
noon at his residence, No. 1901 Market
street, at the advanced age of 50 years.
Until within the past week Mr.. Naff
was in the enjoyment of his usual health,
and regularly visited his auction store on
Fourth street until last Wednesday,
when he was taken sick on his way
down and had to return home. He re-
mained at his home until the time of his
death.
Mr.. Naff was long and favorably
known as an auctioneer, real estate
agent and collector of rents, and stood
high in each branch of his business.
During his long career in the former busi-
ness he collected many rare and curious
artileu in the way of furniture and house
furnishing goods, and his store house on
East Fonrth street, near Market, has
long been denominated the "Old Curiosi-
ty Shop" Of Wilmington.
In farmer years Mr.. Naff was an active
and influential worker in the temper
ance cause. In politics he was a Whig
and Republican, though he seldom took
an active part in any political campaign.
In business he was prompt and upright,
and managed all transactions in reli-
able and satisfactory manner. He was
leaves a record fer purity Of character
and purpose such as can only be attain
ed by life of strict honesty in all per-
sonal and business transactions.
Mr.. Naff, when a boy, learned the
book binding trade with Caleb Bonsal,
but only worked at it for few years.
when he went into the auctioneering
and real estate business. He was the
first Secretary of the first gas company
this city, and was enc Of the earliest
members of the Reliance Fire Comp
any.
For forty years past Mr.. Naff daily visi-
ted his store on East Fourth street, and
spent his time in reading the papers and
looking over his gnaint possessions.
Some of the latter are quite valuable, ,and
among other articles include tho large
white banner which was presented to
Delaware for having the largest repre-
sentation of delegates lin proportion to
population) at the Whig National Con-
vention at Baltimore, in 1874, when
Henry Clay was nominated, The large
ball which was presented in connection
with this flag is now in New Jersey.
The building in which these curiosities
are now stored has been devoted in its
time to variety of purposes, and was
from 1916 to l853.usedas the printing office
of the DELAWARE GAZETTE.
Mr.. Naff was member of the Epis
copal Church, and regularly attended
religious services, whenever able, His
religion was practical in its nature anG
found bent in many arts Of kindness u
the poor and deserving.
Deceased will be inferred Tuesday af
ternoon, at the Old Swedes Church

The w. g. w. Il. II. In Court
PETITION OF THE RECEIVER IN REGARD
A SLIT AGAINSr IuE 1,oMpANy

PETITION OF THE RECSIvER IN REGARD TO
SUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY.
In the U. s. Circuit Court, Saturday,
Judge Bradford heard the petition Of
VIM. M. Candy, Receiver OF the Will
mingtOn and Western Railroad Company,
requesting the court to advise him con-
cerning the suit Of Il. J. McManus. as
signee of the late Andrew Crumlish,
against the Company. Crumlish's claim
is for about S26,U00, a balance due him,
go it is alleged, for the construction Of
the said road, and it is now pending in
the State courts.
w. c. Spruance, Esq. represented the
Receiver, and after reading the petition,
stated the facts Ct the case at length,
and expressed the opinion that the suit
should be defended, and should not be
allowed to go to Judgment in default OF
defence.
Mr. Bates, for the bondl:olders, thought
the suit involved SO large an amount
that there should be defence OF the
suit, aud coincided in Mr.. Spruance's 4
remarks.
Mr.. Harrington, for the Company sug.
gested reasons why the defence should
be made by the w. & w. r. R. Com pany
rather than by the Receiver.
After somewhat heightened discus
SION, the Judge announced that he woulC
give direction to the Receiver to defend
the suit, in the name of the company
without instrdcting him in any particu
lar rs to whom he should employ.
