Judge Cox the case OF Davis agt. Griffith was
taken up-Mr. Payne for the plaintiff and
Messrs. Totten and Taggert for defendants.
lew years since Edward ID. Griffith. who had for
few years been the superintendent of the Me-
tropolitan railroad stables, died, leaving widow
and several children, residing in Georgetown
near the car stables. At his funeral among
lne mournerS was young lady, said to
be his daughter by a first wife, who
was still living In Baltimore. After the
funeral, application was made by the
Georgetown widow for letters of administration,
out her right was contested by the Baltimore
widow, Eleanor c. Davis, who claimed to be the
lawful wife of the deceased, having been married
TO him In Baltimore on the I'd of April. 1850. The
estate was thereupon placed in the hands OF a
collector, and issues TO be tried by jury were
prepared, and 1t is those that are now on trial.
These are, first, whether Eleanor C. Davis is the
lawful widow OF Edward Davis, etc.; second
whether Edward j. Davis and Fanny Freburger
her children, are his lawful children and heirs
and third, whether Emily Elizabeth Griffith Is
the lawful wife. Yesterday the case was opened
by reading deposition by Rev. ]. w. Tongue
that he married Edward Davis and Eleanor
Ga1ther, at the residence OF Joseph Davis, Frank
LIN street, Baltimore, on April I'd, 1880 and seve-
raj witnesses testified to the performance OF the
ceremony. The jury was then respited until to-
day.

The Pope, as it is we'll known has been

Arcadia is the celebrated literary Roman
society that was founded in this city at
the end of the, seventeeth century. Its
first meetings were held in the Palazzo
Riario, now sCrosini Lunagara, inhabited
then by Christina, of Sweden. That
Queen was its first patroness. T. The mem
bers of the society originally we're learned
men who formed the literary court that
assembled around that remarkable wo-
man. The first meeting was held on the
gath of January, 1856, over 200 years ago.
The celebrated jurisconsult, Gravina, was
one of the first officers Of Arcadia, and
drew its beautiful table of laws. The
main end of the society was the study of
moral philosophy, and poetry was after
wards added. The first President was
the +: distinguished p; Crescembeni. He
wrote a history of the society, as, we'll as
EmaDy other literary works. When the
Queen of Sweden died, 1889, the academy
became an independent society. It's meet
ings were sometimes held in the Farnese
gardens on the Palatine, then in the Giar-
dine Gucnasio, on the lonely and beauti-
full Aventine; it was at that time the
places of meeting took the names of Bo,
Esen Parrasio and Arcadia, and the society
continued the custom, still adhered to-
of imposing Greek poetical names on its
members in conformity to the first pastor
al idea. '..- 49, ''' ~ '5.'' = T.
