THE SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every day during tho
year to come Its purpose and method will be the
same as in the past: To present all the news in q

heavens fall.

this newspaper the confidence and friendship of q
wider constituency than was ever enjoyed by any
other American journal
THE SUN is the newspaper for the people. Ith
not for the rich man against the Door man. or for
the moor man against the rich man. but il seeks To
do equal justice to all interests in the community.
It is not the organ of any person, class sect OF

and hates 1t is for the honest IN an against the

as against the dishonest Republican, and for tbs
honest Republican as against the dishonest Demo.
crat It does not take its cue from the utterances
of any politcian or political organization It giyes
its support unreseryedly when men and measures
are in agreement with the Constitution and with
the principles upon which the Republic was
founded for the people. Whenever the Consttu-
ton and constitutional principles are violated-as

In this respect there will be no change in its pro-
gramme for 1879
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty hatred OF
ras ais, frauds, and humbugs of all sorts and
sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not less in
the year 1879 than in 1873, 1877 or any year gone
by. THE SUN will continue to shine on the wicked

OH, GIFT.
A Chunk of the TuIlis Estate.

A colored lady named America Redman,
who had been nurse to the millionaire
miser, jeremiah Tullis, brought suit last
evening before Squire Schwab to recover a
lot of papers, which she claims are in the
possession of w. w. Gitt, of Dayton, Ky.
She says that just before the death of
Tullis the latter told her that on account
of her good services to him he had drawn
up in her favor several deeds, transferring
to her some of his estate in Ohio and Ken
lucky. She alleges further that the papers
were entrusted for safe keeping to Gitt.
After Tullis' death Gilt refused to turn
over to her the papers, and hence the suit,
which is brought under an old law.
Yesterday evening Gitt was arraigned be-
fore Squire Schwab and held under $500
bail to secure his attendance at prelimin-
ary examination.

THE LAST CASE REPORTED,
Mr.. Thomson's Financial Complications

Our morning contemporaries publish ru-
NOR that James Y. Thomson residing at
247 Laurel street. member of the whole
sale notion firm of Martin, Thieman & Co.,
doing business at No. LOG Pearl street and
No. III West Third street, is laboring under
financial complication. The charge is
made that Mr.. Thomson has so mixed up
the entries on the books that it is impossi-
BILE to tell anything about them, and that
the firm call upon him TO make up de-
ficiency of So, 600 or thereabouts. The firm
of Martin, Thieman & Co. consists of Henry
Martin, Frank Thieman, James Y. Thorn
son and Charles Kleve. Mr.. Martin is a
man OF wealth, and no one but the mem
bers of the firm can in any way suffer by
the affair.
A reporter of the STAR called upon Mr.
Henry Martin at his place of business, on
Pearl street, this morning, and found him
in no way disturbed by the recent devel-
opments in regard to the unbusinesslike do
ings of Mr. Thomson.
He says it is not sudden development,
but that members of the firm have been
watching Mr.. Thomson for some time.
expressed regret that the matter had
leaked out.
He declined to make any statements fur
ther than to correct in some particulars the
account given by the morning papers. At
the proper time-in a few days-he will
give TO the public full statement,
He says the facts published, are, in the
main not true. 1t is, however, true that
Mr.. Thomson has used the money of the
firm to meet his private Indebtedness, to
small amount only and that he has been
removed from the firm.
When the partnership was established
Thomson was supposed to have Rut in
capital to the amount Of $1,000, but he
never had near that amount. This money
he borrowed from Tom, Dick and Harry,
and as he was pressed he drew OH the firm
to meet these debts. He continued to so
draw until he had exhausted his capital,
and then began to draw on the money be-
longing to the other members, but had not
taken any considerable amount before his
career was checked.
His Indebtedness to the firm is not there
fore very great, and Mr.. Martin feels sure
that they have sufficient assets from Thorn
son to cover the whole amount. The other
members of the establishment are in no
way crippled and the business is prosper
ing. None of the creditors of the firm are
at all soicitous, as the house does not owe q
dollar on last years business.
| Mr.. Thomson, and he only, is affected
| 1t is undoubtedly true that Mr.. Thomson
used the money OF the Reformed Presby-
terian Church on Clark street for his own
purposes, as stated in the ,orning papers.
The above was all that Mr.. Martin was
willing to say. except to reiterate that the
statements already pade were not strictly
true.
