Breach Of Promise.

Miss Carrie L. GriXon, q pretty blond,
twenty-one years of age, the daughter of
retired warrant officer of the United States
Navy. brought a suit some time ago III the
Kings County Supreme Court against jas.
w. Sherman, to recover $4,000 damages
for breach of promise. The plaintiff and
defendant, it appears, became acquainted
some four years ago in Washington, y.
G., where they both resided at that time.
The latter is twenty -four years OF age and
one of mis- legs is shorter than the other.
1t was alleged that soon after he met the
the plaintiff he fell in love with her, but
that she did not return his affection. oW-
ing to her engagement with an elderly
druggist. 1t was further alleged that when
plaintiff became aware of the fact that her
deformed lover had fallen heir to fortune
of 1920, 600 she discarded the venerable
druggist and formed plans to capture the
cripple. 1t was then that the defendant,
it is said, indicted the following epistle to
the beautiful blond.

1t appears that the plaintiff and defen-
dant became engaged to be married, and
the ceremony was to take place IN August,
1877. A wedding trip to Europe was talk
of, and young Sherman presented his pro-
spective bride with handsome set OF uia-
monds and 81 900 in money. 1t was al
legged that after the preparations for the
nuptialS had been completed an effort was
made by the friends OF young Sherman to
break the engagement, and Miss Grixon
was asked to release him from the contract
She refused to do so. Then the defendant
suddenly disappeared from Washington
and went to reside in Brooklyn. whittier
he was followed by the plaiutitf, who
brought the suit as above S ated. The
defendant admitted that there had been d.

A DELAWARE TRAIN WRECKER-Har.
ley Brown, who was arrested on suspicion
of having wilfully wrecked an express train
near Claymou5h, Del, on Saturday night
last, by which four lives were lost. has con-
fessed the act. He accompanied the coro-
ner's jury to the scene Of the disaster, and
illustrated to them the manner in which
he arranged the ties so as to throw the
train off. He was then remanded to Jail
at New Castle. Brown was formerly en-
ployed on the road, but was discharged.
He claims that he did not intend to wreck
the train, but after building the obstruc-
lions it was his intention to signal and
stop whatever train might come along, and
to obtain situation On the road for him
self for what would appear to be a great
service. He says he did not know that the
express was coming, and had calculated
only OF stopping an accommodation train
which followed it.

FRIDAY MORNING. JULY S. 1878.

1t is the cue of Republican journals to
belittle the investigation into the question
of fraud in Louisiana and Florida. To
some it is their meat and bread. The
manner in which they do it is amusing as
it is ingenious. Their ingenuity is, how
ever, to be more severely taxed, but pap
will force them up equal to the necessity.
They gloated over the saucy attitude of
Mrs. Agnes D. jerks, and the manner in
which she sought to relieve Secretary
Sherman, by assuming the authorship of
the now famous Sherman letter, while
they are reticent, very, over the glow of
Mrs. jerks retiring witticism, pointed
with great deal of pith. She said,
"Othello's occupations gone," meaning
that her occupation as a feminine Repub-
lican trickster was over, as she pointedly
added, s'the Republican party is dead"
They ignore this, but continue to press the
point proved ~ by Mrs. jerks. that Sher-
mans name was forged to the letter.
Just here they are met by Mr.. Emile
Weber, brother Of the D. A. Weber al
luded to in J. E. Anderson's testimony.
He not only contradicts the testimony OF
the vivacious Mrs. jerks, but also zorro
borates the testimony of Anderson in
every particular. He testified that his
brother talked with Sherman as to the
fraud to be perpetrated in West Feliciana
that his brother repeatedly told him that
the assurances of Sherman, verbal and
written, alone induced him to assist in
the fraud of returning West Feliciana
Republican; that his brother showed him
the letter of assurance and guarantee
given to him and Anderson by Sherman:
that he was familiar with Sherman s hand
writing, and that it was both written and
signed by Sherman, and that his brother
assured him that he had received it from
Sherman himself.
This is beautiful mesh our Republican
editorial friends have to handle. We have
asserted that we wouldn't believe any of
the witnesses, but that Sherman stood con
victed by his failure to deny the authorship
of the Sherman letter, but they use jerks
and others to dlsprove the authorship and
they must get rid Of those of their clan
who contradict them.
We shall await with patience their edi-
torial efforts, watch the ingenuity they
display in defence of Sherman, and look
with calmness at the wriggling of the un-
fortunates unearthed by the Potter com.
mittee and the squirming generally in the
Republican camp.

abundance never yet ruined nation,

ceptionally fit; to apply it to the general
condition of a nation only marks the speak
