The morning came in partially clear,

at 8, the lower edge Of the sun began to
present ragged appearance which eV'
cry minute afterwards became more
ragged and by 9.15 the steady march OF
the little coquette across the sun was
plainly visible. Every minute the
u d ark shadow became larger and by ~
O'Clock the planet had cleared the out
er edge of the sun and appeared In all
its rounded fullness.
Nearly everybody was interested In
watching this little black spot moving
across the sun at the rate of 1896 miles
an hour. Telescopes in favorable posi-
Gions were largely patronized and 70

the Jury this Afternoon.
As soon as the Oroney case was dis
posed of this morning, Mr.. Spruance
resumed his argument for the plaintltts
in the Sanders case. He contended
that in ell the transactions Whlch ha9
taken place in the business condueteu
by the Sanders family, there had not
been the slightest evidence produced 70
show that any fraud had been com
mitted or even contemplated.
He concluded by saying there was
no question about the damages, ana
the only thing for the jury to CONSIDER
was how much the damages should De-
He assured the jury that they need nave
no scruples respecting the amount OF
their verdict as it was not Sheriff Oiark
who would be called upon to pay 1t put
the men who had urged him to commit
this illegal act, and who had lhueinnl-
fed him from The consequences.
When he finished it was after l
o'clock, and Court adjourned until .
O'Clock this afternoon when the case
will be given to the jury.
About II. 30 O'Clock the Chlef us
tice interrupted Mr.. Spfuance long
enough to announce that the special
panel of Jurors which were summoned
for the Court of Oyer and Terminer to
try the case of John Croney, who was
arraiRned this morning to plead to the
Indictment charging him with the mur,
der of Daniel Mcguire, were discharged
from further attendance until Tuesday
the 9th DAY of February, 1883.
This is thought to presage the deer
sion of the Courl, that the case will be

A day or tw ago, an employee or the
brewery establishment on Red Clay
Creek near Mt. Cuba, in which Skecht
q Spoin of this city are interested,
came in the house of Thomas Nandever
in the neighborhood, and demanded
admittance; Mrs. Nandeyer though
very robust and srong lady not
liking the fellows appearance refused
to admit him. Somehow he got the door
open, and fell headlong into the room
in an intoxicated condition. Mrs.
Vandever after much trouble elected
him, when he attacked dog of better
character and disposition and was in
fair way of choking the dog to death.
A little niece of Mrs. Vandever's re.
siding short distance from the home
place came to the house about that
time and Mrs. Amos Vandever mother
of the little girl hearing the noise
came hurrying along and thinking the
drunken man had attacked her little
girl seized clothes prop and began
Gudgling the inebriated Teuton at a
furious rate. The man however held
1n to the dog and word was sent to Mr..
Amos Vandever working in a field close
by who came and gave the intruder
another furious beating and succeeded
in ejeoting him from the place.
He seemed to have the greatest anti
pathy to the dog probably because ii
was cost like himself, and yet the dog
evidently felt humiliated and declined
to engage in a contest with brute sc
much superior in force, but lower in
character. Great complaint is made
by the people Of that vicinity of the
amount OF uncongenial conviviality
that emanates from the brewery.
