Edward Darlington and Joseph l.. Car
penter, Jr., (members of committee
that examined the affairs of the Com
pany and attested its soundness) are
tlrst-class whitewas ashers, who throw the
thin coat of their credulity over rotten
fraud.
Feb. q, 1S79.-An attack upon Mr..
VIM. Bright, President Of the Company.
November 81, 1e7s.-The Company
is all open fraud. 1t is now and always
was fraud, without a shadow of right
To exist. The Insurance Company with
drew the suits ii had instituted against
Eoery Euening, and thus confessed itself
a fraud. Its sworn assets are utterly
false.
Proceeding, Mr.. Lore said: We ex-
pect 10 prove that this Company, char
tered by the Legislature of this State, af-
ter being conducted in Delaware City,
was reorganized in Wilmington, and
that among its Directors were William
Bright, DR.. j. X. Tantum, John Wood,
and others, leading business men, of fin
ancial ability and integrity. That it be-
gan prosperous career in taking insur-
ance risks. That by reason of the men
connected with its management it ac-
quired large business. That these vio-
lent attacks were made upon it, and the
effect of such attacks-made without
warrant or reason, right at the home of
the Company in paper of large crcula-
tion, edited by man of acknowledged
ability-was disastrous in the extreme.
The defendants whole purpose seemed
TO be 10 break up and destroy the busi-
ness OF the company, and the statements
he published were copied into other pa
pers. That the losses of the Company
were enormous, not only in prospective
business, but in the falling off of present
custom, and that the losses resulted
from no other cause than these attacks.
Therefore the plaintiff held that damages
had been sustained fully up 10 the
amount laid IN the rdrr-$20, 900.
These attacks, said Mr.. Lore, were
not those Of man desrous of protect
ing the community, bat were the as
saulls Of a venomous mind, for slnis-
ter motive, and they continued after the
company appealed to the law for redress.
Unless The defendant can show proper
and reasonable defense we will be war
ranted in asking for verdict for such
damages as we have sustained.
Mi. Lore then placed In evidence the
charter of the Delaware State Fire and
Marine Insurance Company, as recorded
in the Private Act Record. Messrs.
Bird and Bates, counsel for the defend
ant, scanned it closely, but made no OBJ
lection to its admission
At this time, 6:35 o'clock, Court ad-
journed until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.

Secretary Sherman seems to have It
all his own way in the race for the Ohio
Senatorship. His chief competitor Is
Gov. Foster, but 1t is limited that that
gentleman will be provided for with q
place in Mr.. Garfelds's cabinet. OF
course 1t wouldn't do for. an eminent
Ohio statesman like Mr.. Foster to be
left out in the cold.
The managers Of the elevated rail-
ways In New York do not propose TO
pay the real estate tax which has been
laid upon them by the Courts without
making reprisals. They have cut down
the number Of their employees and di-
minished the frequency of their trains.
The competition of the horse cars pre-
vents them from more obvious method
OF getting back their tax money.
WHILE Gen. Garfield was waiting to
take the train at Cleveland on Monday
he was approached by cheeky indivi-
dual who asked for an Office IN advance.
=. have no offices to give," replied the
Mentor statesman as he passed on.

The Order OF Heptasophs is a secret
beneficial society, instituted for the pur-
pcst of securing fund from which to pay
an insurance of at leastS1 900 TO The family
OF each deceased member. 1t is organic
ed after the manner OF the Masonic aud

the character and elevate the mora
principles of the members. The order
Is composed of subordinate conclaves in
States and Territories, which are undel

preme Conclave.
"The order was founded by few
earnest, unselnsh men, for fraternal and
bedetical purposes. Its sphere of USE
fuIness will be enlarged, as it will be
faithfully conducted as its founders de-
signed it, not to subserve the interests OF
a few, but for the mutual benefit of all.

SECOND EDITION
The southern Census.

ANOTHER INvEsTIG ALTON IN SOUTH
CAROLINA ORDERED.
A special despatch from Washington
says:-
Notwithstanding the very conclusive
character of General Walkers report OF
the investigation conducted by his agents
into the alleged census frauds in South
Carolina, there are many people of in
fnence who are not yet satisfied that the
large gains reported from that State are
not fraudulent. Representations have been
made to the President which have induc-
ell him to send another Commission to
that State to make more thorough ex-
animation. BY his direction Genera
Walker, on last Friday, sent Colonel
Butterf1eld, who was the Supervisor OF
the Census for Vermont, with four assist
tants, to South Carolina with instruc-
tions to make an actual house to house
accommodation of some of the districts
which show the greatest gains. Both
tile President and General Walker are
satisfied that no fraud will be found. But
it is thought best to take this step in or.
der to satisfy those who do not put faith
in the original work of enumeration, so
that the report when completed may be
accepted by all classes as trustworthy.

WANAMAKER a BROWN. PhfIa.
The Reduction in
Clothing at Oak
Hall.

The clothing marked
down Saturday comprised
about 5000 suits and over
coats. Both the suits and
the overcoats are various
enough to constitute a
complete stock Of them
selves, so that you may
be reasonably sure Of find
ing among them what will
both suit and fit you.
Some of the very lowest
priced mems suits we make
are among them; $40 reduced
to So so, and some of all
grades up to excellent suits
at $25, reduced to $40 and
$27 80 reduced to $25.
A $40 overcoat at Sic so
is not to be missed on a cold
morning. Even the boys,
whose clothing has been wait
ing for this cold snap will not
object to the taking off of
three or four dollars from
the cost of suit and overcoat.
Remember this ! All these
garments were made by our
people, under our own eye,
and before this reduction
were marked as low as they
ought to be sold, We couldn't
afford to reduce them, but
we must sell faster to keep up
with our work people.
We know how to sell fas-
ter, viz. by selling lower,
We have been selling faster
for nineteen years, faster than
our competitors. That we
have done of course by sell
ing lower. Now we have to
sell faster than ourselves,
and down goes a part of our
stock, whether we can afford
it or not.
Whatever you don't like
bring back. If there be
grumbler, we don't want our
clothes On him

The Reason

Why I. W. Harper's Nelson County
Whiskey is preferred above all other

tably, ever made. A longiexperience
in the manufacture of the Harper, the
large Capital OF the Distiller which
enables him to hold bis Whiskey un>
til it has fully matured, together with
the fact that the Whiskey is bought
by and shipped to me direct from the

satisfaction it has given those best ed

Memphis Appeal: The young girl,
Susie Campbell, who abandoned her
home at Mckenzie, Carroll county,
some days since, was found BY the po-
lice yesterday at the "Bon Ton" a
low bagnio kept by Grace Podesta, in
Center Alley, near Washington street.
She was taken to the station house to
await the arrival Of her relatives.
The police were on the lookout for the
man who had enticed her away from
her home and placed her in house OF
prostitution. The man who seduced
her and brought her to this city was
a railroad man named Thomas Smith.
He made her believe that she was
stopping at the Peabody hotel, and
she was so unsophisticate1 and inno'
cent as to believe it, during her stay
at the low and infamous bon Ton"
bsgnio. The girl was taken back to
her home at Mckenzie by her father
last evening.
