There is marble mantel which is giving
New York courts and lawyers a good deal
OF occupation. A slate company put up
white marble mantel in the house OF
wealthy man named Meyer. He refused to
pay for it on account of some imperfec-
lions, and they brought suit. Since the be.
ginning of the litigation, he, his wife, and
one of his sons have died, and his eX-
ecutor has been substituted as defendant.
The house in which the mantel is put UP
has been sold under foreclosure OF mort
gage, and the estate OF Dir. Meyer is lnsol-
vent, so that even if the plaintiff should get q
Judgment it could not be collected: yet the
litigation is keptup all the same. The amount
sued for is $3.50, and the costs and expenses
now aggregate over $1,000. The case has
been on appeal three times to the general
term of the Marine Court and twice to The
Court of Common Pleas. OF the five
Judges of the Marine Court only two were
there at the beginning Of the suit. The
case was last tried last week, the result be-
ing verdict for the plaintiff Of S1l9, with
interest. The defendants counsel had the
Jury polled, and two Of the jurors said thai
they had understood the verdict to be fol
S119, without interest. The plaintiff IS coun
sci insisted upon the interest, the two dis
senting Jurors adhered to what they hat
said, and nothing, therefore, remained eN
cept to discharge the jury and permit th'
fourth trial to come to naught. -,

The STEAMER EyERMAN AND THE LATE
STORM. The steamer j. W. Everman, Cap

struck her about A. NJ. on "Wednesday IN

not to be found. The Everman's Norfolk

1t becomes necessary again to remind you
that certain amount OF money is indis-
pensable TO the cordnct OF an election, and
to urge upon every one the Importance Of

necessary fund of expenditure.
Surely every voter ought 10 know that to

considerable outlay of money on the part OF
the authorized managers is unavoidable.
The City Conservative Committee b1s done
what it could, and will do all that it can.
But to secure the election OF the party'S
candidate the aid Of money is needed as
we'll rs the vote OF every man that belongs
to the party. The following gentlemen of
the City Conservative Committee have been
appointed to solicit contributions Messrs.
John F. Regnault, Il. II. Styll, P. E. Du-
puy, Z. W. Pickrel. j. D. Smelling, and

cial calls upon the Conservative citizens on

hoped that their applications for contribu-
tions will secure the necessary response.
