The Suit of John Green's Widow.

The Suit of John Green's Widow.
decision was rendered by Judge Simons
on yesterday overriding the demurrer to the
complaint in the case of Anna Green, execu-
trix, ETC., against Horace. Thompson and
others, bondholders of the First Division of
the st. Paul Pacific railroad company. The
suit to which objection was made was COM
menced about two months ago by the widow
of John Green, who was killed by the cars
IN December, 1878, the action being for
damages of 900. The decision first re-
cites the cause of the complaint, after which
the objections, as set forth in the demurrer,
are reviewed, the principal objection being
that the action is not prosecuted by the
plaintiff, as the personal representative of
the deceased. AS to the objection the court
says: ut sufficiently appears, from the
comp lalnt, that the action is not brought by
the plaintiff, as an individual, but in her
official capacity as executrix of the will and
estate of the deceased, and that is all that is
necessary upon this point.''
The next objection rail- 9 ! by the defendants
Is 'that the action cannot be maintained,
unless there are in existence both widow
and next of kin to participate in the damages
recovered. In adverting to this objection
the court says that sit is mistaken view of
the case,' in proof of which number of
parallel cases are cited, and the rights of
the widow in the premises are reviewed at
length. Several statues are then quoted
upon which the foregoing comment is made:
"Such intention (of the legislature manifestly
was to impose on corporations and others
more care in regard to human life; that they
might not escape the consequences of their
wrongful acts by the death of the person
| injured, to prevent the action dying with
such injured person." The demurrer is then
overruled, with leave to the defendants to
answer complaint within twenty days after
| notice of the order.

GRANTS CANDIDACY,

The Republican papers of the country are
one after another succumbing to the Grant
wave, and admitting that he is more likely
than any other man in the country to re-
ceive the nomination of the party in 1880
If they do not advocate his claims There is
substantial agreement that if Grant de-
sires the office of President, he can have it
without opposition upon signifying his
wishes. Those who know Grant most in
timately do not hesitate to say that he will
accept the Office if it is thrust upon him
and they are busily engaged in working ur
sentiment in favor of his cause. He is rep
resented as being poor-so poor that he will
be unable to support himself and family in
the style beftting their position. If this is
so he must have been exceedingly prodigal
for during his term of Office he
received three hundred Thousand dol
lars as salary, and more than half 9
million dollars in donations of houses, farms,
lands and other valuables, besides hayipo
been very fortunate in speculations in which
he engaged while an occupant of the White
House. When he retired from Office his
wealth was acknowledged to be in excess OF
million of dollars, which, with careful man.
agement, would have been sufficient to main
tain him in luxury all his life.
But there are other reasons that are urged
in favor of Grants candidacy that are more
potent than his poverty. There are thou-
sands in his party who ardently desire q
strong governments man at the head who
will use the most vigorous measures to put
down all opposition to the party, even to the
extreme OF employing troops to drive Demo
cratic voters from the polls. Such man
they regard Grant to be, and therefore ardently
labor in his behalf. Then, too, the old gang
of ofice-holders miss his presence at Wash

An Indignant Husband Seeking Redress.

AN indignant Husband Seeking Redress
The neighborhood of Fort street and
Western avenue was agitatated Wednesday
afternoon by the combat of three men over
the possession of a muchly UNMARRIED woman.
At the intersection of the above-named
thoroughfares has resided for the past two
months an Irish damsel named Nice ulloueh,
nee Tyler, who has illustrated the Woodruff
doctrine of affinity by dividing her charms
between two Swedes.
The trio have resided thus promiscuouslv
in defiance of law and decency for the period
named, and their bliss might have been per-
ennial had not disturbing element dawned
on the scene in the form of the woman's
husband. He arrived directly from New
York in pursuit of his fugitive wife, who
skipped the Empire State few months
since IN company with the Swedes, taking
with her all the portable furniture and ready
cash belonging to her injured liege.
The encounter between the irate husband
and the destroyers of his happiness was ex-
ceedingly warm, in fact torrid, and friehtful
results might have ensued had not Mr.. Ed.
ward Harmon interfered, who advised the
injured man to seek redress by recourse to
the regular process of law. His determine
ton to ''fre'' the Swedes was reconsidered
and the parties will be arrested to-day.
