THE TELEPHoNE.-During the past week the city
terminus of the telephone connecting with the outer
gmarine signal station, has been transferred from
Wilder & Co.'S Office on Queen street, to the book
store of Messrs. Whitney & Robertson, next adjoin-
ing the Post Office building on Merchant street.
This, being the business centre Of the city, is by far
the best location for the telephone, and in The charge
of the enterprising firm above named the public will
reap the full benefit of the present Improvement on
the old system. A branch wire connects the book
store with the Pilots Office on Charlton wharf. The
Telephone now belongs virtually to owners in
the coasting trade and mechants who have sno-
scribed for the necessary expense-iu other words, to
the public. The government agrees to pay the ex-
penses of the outer station.

SECOND EDITION
The DOss0herty Farm Sold.

AN ACCOUNT OF THE LITIGATION
WHICH LED TO THE SETTING ASIDE
OF GEO. DOUGHERTY's WILL.
Charles B. Lore, ESQ.,, attorney for the
Administrative of the estate OF George
Dougherty, deceased, sold on Saturday
afternoon, the farm OF 80 acres, situated
in Brandywine Hundred, to Robert
Murray, Of New Castle, for $4,000. 1t
was sold subject to the dover Of the
widow, Mrs. Mary Dougherty.
This sale closes one Of the most deter
mined cases of litigation that has lately
come up in our courts. Shortly after
the will was proved, VIM. &. Whiteley,
counsel for the heirs, asked for review
on the grounds that the testator was Of
unsound mind at the time he made the
will, which will gave all his property to
bis wife and one son. At the hearing
before the Register of Wills, the will was
set up and sustained. The decision was
appealed from by the counsel for the
ro.ecution and the case was given a
jury trial at the last November term Of
Court. The trial at that time was very
long contested by the two giants of the
New Castle bar, VIM. e. Whiteley. Esq,
for the prosecution, and Chas. b. Lore,
Esq, for the defense. The testimony
was voluminous, and the arguments long
and exhaustive. Among the testimony
for the prosecution was that of the physi-
clan who said that the deceased was just
between life and death and that of Rev.
P. w. HOchkeppel, the priest who at
tended him about the tsme the will was
made to administer the rites of the church
and who testified that he was 10 drticulo
m0rtis, and was so near death that in
administering the sacrament he had to
give him the benefit of the doubt, as to
whether he was dead or not. The defense
offered some strong rebutting testimony
that went 10 show that from the way the
deceased had been treated by his children
1t was not unreasonable the will should
fail to provide for them.
The jury failed to agree at this trial
and at the May term of Court it was sub
mitted to the decision of the Court and
the will was set aside.
The daily gazette., 1879-11-03
Taken for q Burglar.

An amusing case came up before act
ing Mayor O'Neil, last night, in which
William Riley, member of the Reli-
ance Fire Company was defendant in a
charge of assault and battery, preferred
by Hezekiah Fisher, the watchman at
the Masonic Temple.
From the evidence it was shown that
about 4 O'Clock Saturday morning peo-
pie heard the burglar alarm in Worrel's
store ringing, as if some one was trying
to force an entrance. Among those
whose attention it attracted was young
Riley, as he was coming down from the
Reliance ball. Some one started for the
police station and Riley was about to en-
ter and investigate when Mr.. Fisher
came out. lie at once thought Fisher
was the burglar and caught hold of him
and used him roughly before an expla-
nation was given. The prisoner was
dismissed.
The ringing of the burglar alarm is
explained by the fact that one attempted
to enter the building but failed in his
dishonest effort.
The daily gazette., 1879-11-03
ChOEed.

The Milford Ne,cs says :-On Thurs
day while George Warren was dining at
the Capitol Hotel, in Dover, he attempt
ed to swallow large mouthftll of beef
which lodged in his throat. He imme-
diately became black In the face and fell
from his chair on the floor. Those pres
ent rushed to his assistance and catching
him by the heels, holding his head
downwards shook him so violently as to
cause him to throw up the piece of beef
and thus saved his life."
Another down State paper, relating
the accident, says that Mr.. Fountain,
proprietor of the Capitol, run his finger
down Mr.. Warren's throat and pulled
out the piece of meat, thus saving his
life
