Henry G.. Stewart vs. VIM. Bright
action Of trover. Geo. Gray, Esq, for
plaintiff, and Chas. B. Lore, Esq,
for defendant. This action was
brought by the plaintiff to recover
from the defendant a certificate OF
stock which he alleges the latter
holds and unlawfully refuses to hand
over. In 1877 the Delaware State
Fire and Marine Insurance Comp any

city in 1877, 1t appears fron the testi-
mony of the plaintiff, an agent sold to
Mr.. Stewart, who resides In Baltimore,
200 shares of stock, the par value of

face value. MIR. Stewart did not have
the purchasing money with him, and
asked Mr.. Bright, who Was present, to
give the agent his check for the amount,
| ($250), and hold the certificate as col
lateral until he (the plaintitf) returned
home, when he would at once forward
to Mr.. Bright the cash, and would ex-
pect tile certificate TO be forwarded to
him (Stewart). Mr.. Tantum,the agent,
went TO Baltimore that night with Mr..
Bright's check, which he presented to
| Mr.. Stewart, by whom it was cashed.
| The receipt given by Mr.. Bright to Mr..
Stewart for the purchase money wa:

A Daring Highway Robbery.

OXFORD, May 1e.-A very daring
highway robbery was committed upon
the person of Constable William 8.
Quigley, who is also the Collector of
Taxes for East Nottingham Township.
Mr.. Quigley had been out all Friday
making collections, and had in his pos
session $454 of taxes, which he intond-
ed to pay over the next day to the
School Board. When within about
two hundred yards of his house, it
being about 8 o'clock in the evening,
he was met by three men, one of whom
suddenly stop. I'd and seized. hold of
his horse. Mr.. Quigley drew his re-
yolver and ordered the man to let go.
He had not time - act further, for the
other two hishwaymen sprang upon
him, and one gathered q handful of
dirt in the road and threw it into his
eyes; he was then dragged out Of his
vehicle and beaten over the herd and
rendered infsnsible. The robbers then
took his pocketbook and revolver.
The thieves had hardly escaped before
a nelghbor came along and found hin
lying on the road. Nothing was done
until the next day, when search was
made for the villains, which resulted
in the finding of the revolver and the
pocketbOOk In the woods with nothing
in the latter but some papers. Mr..
Ouigley was unable to give any de-
soription of the men except that he
thought they were white men black
ened so as to disguise themselves.

Testimony Adduced-Evtdent
Case Of Smallpox and Not MUIR.
der-stasement OF DIR. BlocksOm.
The COroner's jury summoned in
the case of the colored woman Clara
Smith, which was fully reported in
yesterdays GAZETTE, assembled In
the City Hall, last evening, for the
purpose Of examining witnesses in the
case.
The first witness called was FL. 8.
Brown, of the Republican, who stated
that his attention was FIRST called to
the case ON Monday last, and from
facts he could learn, warranted him in
swearing out warrant for the sup
posed murderer, which he did. ~
Sarah Crawford and William DAVIS
were next examined, and testified that
they saw Carpenter drag the girl in
Weldin's lumber yard and heard her
scream. The witnesses also saw Car
penter strike her.
There being no further Witnesses ex-
cept DIR. Blecksom, who was absent
from the. city, the jury adjourned until
this afternoon at 2 o'clock, in order to
hear the atement of the physician.
DIR. BLocKsoM's sTATEMNNT.
A reporter of the GAzITE found DIR.
Blocksom in his Office this morning,
and upon being informed as to the
srrand Of the reporter, DR.. Blocksom
said that he had very little to say in
regard to tho case. He believed 1t to
have been case of smallpox and
issued death certificate to that effect.
When he visited the woman he re-
quested her to disrobe and when she
had complied with his request, he
made an examination OF her body and
failed to find any marks of violence,
except a slight discoloration under
both eyes. Over her breast were
scattered number of small half form
ed pimples, and there we're also num-
Der of pimples or eruptions OF her
foreheod, which sustained him in his
opinion that the woman was getting
the smallpox. He told the mO,her of
the woman at the time that there
would be no great danger Of contagion
from the disease for two or three days
to come. The physician further states
that when he first visited the deceased
that the mother in describing he
symptoms OF Clara said that she was
suffering with a headache, pain in the
back of the head and p severe back
ache. He emphatically denies that
the mother told him that the girl had
any hemOrrhages or even mentioned
that she had spit blood. She bad said
to HIM, however, in general conver-
sation that Clara had had q fuss with
her "young man." but beyond that
nothing was said that would lead him
to suppose for moment that the girl
had received any other injuries beyond
those under her eyes. In conclusion
the doctor said that he was very sorry
that such report should have been
published during his absence from the
city, for IL he had of been at home he
could have explained the whole mat
ter. He adhere to his first opinion
that the girl died from smallpox. anc
it is generally believed that the Ooro-
ner's jury will render a verdict to that
effect,

government. All this time fourB and
four and halls were going up. Last
week, as we have already pointed out,
fours were selling at l16.75, at which
price they realized to investors 500 per
cent. interest. Yesterday they had gone
up to 117a. A further rise OF seven-
eighths of one per cent. will make the
fours equivalent to three per cent. bonds
The four and half per cent. bonds
have gone below three and have been
bringing to investors only 2.S5 per cent.
These are time bonds, but the redu, Cd
skies and fives are now payable at. the
option of the government. Secretary
Window can begin paying them to-mor-
row If he desires. The element Of per-
maBeney or long life, so essential In pro-
curing the lowest possible rate Of inter
est, is entirely lacking. But just now

Congressman John FL. Griswold, who
