Emma SINNERS has received yer.
dict for $4,000 in the Court of West
Chester, Pa, last week, against Jas.
Wagonaeller for breach OF promise.
The case is reported as follows:
The parties to this suit reside in " al.
lace township. In the fall of 1875 the
plaintiff went to reside with Edwin
Robinson, at Glen Moore. Soon after,
in March, 1877, the defendant com
menoed paying attentions to her. The
attentions consisted in taking her out
driving to picnics, festivals, and to 9TH
or places of amusement, to church, and
visiting her parents and other rels-
tivss. He frequently came to see her,
as often as two or three times a week,
keeping her private company during
these times. These attentions contin-
ued until October, 1879, when they
ceased. Various gifts had been ex-
changed. The plaintiff testified to a
distinct promise of marriage, which
was evidenced by an engagement ring
given her OF October 4, 1877. The de-
fendant denied that he ever promised
to marry the plaintiff; thai he never
gave her no other than a pinchbeck
ring; that she had told him on two or
taree occasions that she would not have
him. Verdict for plaintiff for 5000.

As Mrs. Margaret Thompson was dri.

met with shocking and fatal accident
In crossing tho Wilmington & Northerr
railroad track ABOUT a mile beyond

wife of Mr.. Isaac Thompson well to do

left Wilmington about 8 o'clock and
was rapidly approaching home which
was only about mile away when the

proved under oath.
Mrs. Thompson was thrown violent

lead TIE carriage was forced ahead
OF the car and finally broke into fras-
ments. The horse became lco1eaed
from the wagon and started down the
road at the top Of his speed, where he
was finally caught. The engineer at
once blew down breaks and stopped The
train. The whistle and the sight Of
the horse running attracked the atten-
tion Of q number Of the neighbors and
they ran to the scene of accident.
Mrs. Thompson was found vhsre she
had fallen, and was quite dead. 1t
only required slight rvestigation to
show that she had bean Instantly
killed by her neck being broken. Ia
addition to this injury thtre was a
slight abrasion on the forehead. Coro'
ner Weldin was notified yesterday
morning and he and DR.. Osle drove
ont to the place. After making in
quiries into the case they deemed it
necessary to have a jury, chiefly owing
10 the fact that 1t was stated that TIE
engineer gave DO sigma when approach
ing the crossing. Accordingly a Jury
of seveu men was empaneled, with Mr..
Henry Swayne as foreman. The in
quest will be held this forenoon, owing
to the fact the train hands could not
get from CoatesyiIe earlier, and the
Coroner and physician went to the
place this morning, leaving here at 8 80
o'clock.
