MICHAEL DORAN'S WILL,
THE JURY DECIDES IN FAVOR
OF TEE COMyrRTANTs.
OTAER CASES,

| Court re assembled at 3 O'Clock YES
terday afternoon with Chief Justice
Comegys and Associate Judges Woot
ten and Houston on the bench. The
case of u. A. Poole, treasurer of the
Silver Run Marsh Company VS.. Leonard
q. Vandegrift was resumed. Mr.. Rod.
ney for the plaintiff offered the charter
of the company in evidence and exam.
ined one witness but having failed to
prove that man who was chosen man.
ager was legally elected under the char
ter, a non-suit was moved by Mr.. Gray
for the defendants, which was granted,
and the jury discharged.
A jury was drawn and the case of
Anthony Reybold vs.. Barney Rey bold
and John A. Cleaver was commenced.
George w. Gray, Esq, for the plaintiff
and John Rodney, ESD, and William
g. Spruance, Esq, for defendants.
This is an action in replevin. In the
year 1879 Anthony Reybold rented a
farm from Barney Reybold for which
he agreed to pay as rent one half of the
grain that should be raised and one
third of the products of the dairy.
Anthony failed to pay the rent accord
ing to agreement, and Barney Reybold
distrained the goods and chattels on the
place. Anthony Reybold claims that
Barney Reybold through his bailiff,
John A. Cleaver, seized more grain and
butter than was due him according to
what was produced that year.
At 4.35 o'clock the jury in the will
case came into Court, and after answer.
ing to their names the CLERK asked them
If they had agreed whether the paper
that was drawn upon the Sd day of
May, 1879, was or was not the will of
Michael Doran when they answered,
that they had. "Who will answer for
you?" asked the clerk and they replied
"Our foreman. The foreman said that
their verdict was that the paper drawn
on that day was not the will of Michael
Doran.
The jury we're polled and each one
answered that he had agreed in the
verdict. The decision leaves the estate
the same as though the testator had
died without a will.
The Reybold case was resumed and
several witnesses examined to show the
number of bushels of grain that were
raised and pounds OF butter made dur
ing that year.
At the close of the testimony the
case was briefly argued by the counsel
snd without giving the case to the jury,
the Court at 5.55 o'clock adjourned un-
til 10 o'clock this morning.

Sci fish Office Sock ors,

Young man, do not vote for the man
who says to you, "Come boys, have a
drink" He is no friend Of yours. You
may think him very fine fellow to ask
you to come and drink at his expense,
yet he is not only buying your vote,
but your soul also. 1t Is not that he
cares anything about you. Why he
would not speak to you were he to meet
you at any olher time, and after you
have elected him, were you seen intoxi.
Gated on the street, he would have you
arrested and fined, and If you were Nm {.
able to pay your fine, would send you
to prison. But now what matters it to
him whether you 20 to your homes in.
toxicated or not, 30 long as you elect
him? 1t is not friendship for you, let
me tell you that. 1t is Self. Vote for the
man who is above tempting your soul.
He is better friend to you than the one
that says, "Come boys have a drink, 3"
no matter how friendly it may sound in
your ears. Why is it our streets are
full of drunken men during nomina-
tions and elections? Just this degrad-
ing habit of selfish office seekers, tempt
ing poor men who are too weak to re-
sist the temptation. Self Elect me,
no matter about your soul, that is moth
ing to ME. We all know that man
who gains an Office (no matter what
it may be) at the price of mems souls,
will never make An honest Office holder.

A sharp Woman's aame.

On May 6, George Hoffman q mes
senger OF the Mechanics Nations
Bank, of New York, was sent to deposi
valuable securities In the German Ex
change Bank at Bond street and The
Bowery. Ascending the stoop Of the
lattsr bank he was engaged In conver
sation by a young woman, and after
she departed he missed his wallet
which contained $50, ,239. 4S in promis.
sorry notes, bill of exchange for st..
600, drafts for SS,75878, consignment
draft of $3.50 and coupons from bonds
of the New York Central and tho Lake
Shore railroads to the amount of 81, 100.
The police could not find the woman.
Shortly after this William Eldrige, a
clerk in Pierre Lorillard's Jersey City
factory was crossing the ferry with
IS, 600, which he was to deposit in New
York. He was accosted by young
woman who engaged him in convsrsa-
ton, holding a shawl in such manner
that a stranger standing by could steal
the wallet. Eldrige detected the act
and had the man, who gave the name
of Fesee, arrested but he was dis.
charged.
From the similarity Of the cases, In.
spector Byrnes had the man watched
and discovered that his real name was
Woods and that he is noted English
pickpocket. He arrested him on Sat.
urday as he was about to meet con.
federate, and on his person was found
all the secureties stolen from the bank
messenger, with the exception Of 500
of the coupons, which he had probably
disposed Of without difficulty. Woods
has been in Jail in England and Ger
many for similar offenses.

A Detectives Libel Suit.

The Philadelphia Times says:
"When the case of Charles Emory
Smith, of the Press, charged with libel
ing Detective Henry Weyl, was called
in Judge Thayer's court Of the Quarter
Session yesterday for the purpose of
having a plea entered, James H. Hev-
erin, counsel for DR.. Smith, said that
he did not know that the bills had been
found true until he read of the fact in
the newspapers OF Saturday and that,
consequently, he had no opportunity
to read the indictments. Though he
desired q speedy trial, he said that he
would like to have time to examine the
charges before taking any further step.
District Attorney Graham agreed that
the request was reasonable one, and
Mr.. Heverin was given until tomorrow
to enter plea. The case will be pro.
secuted by private counsel retained by
the plaintiff.
Detective Weyl, is brother OF
Charles Weyl the we'll known baker
of this city.

Apaper Duel.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Mr. Black
burn and Senator Williams, bott
of Kentucky, met as friends TO day
in Senate cloak room. This was thu
bloodless end of one of these papel
duels for which Kentuckians In gener
al in this latitude, and Mr.. Blackburn
in particular, are becoming famous.
The trouble grew out of jealousies
over the credit attaching to the passage
Of a bill for the public building at
Frankfort, which is not the least inter.
est to the public. 1t caused, however,
considerable perturbation among Ken.
lucky mem bers and other Southern
Congressman.
There was considerable correspon.
dence, of course. Congressional du els
w.a-days consist simply OF fierce
letters between Southern gentlemen,
indicted in peaceful bedrooms only q
lew blocks apart.
In one of his letters Mr.. Blackburn
informed Senator Williams that he
"lied." 1t was Immediately seen that
the matter had assumed solemn and
portentous phase. Kentucky was agi-
tated. Mr.. Carlisle, of Kentucky, and
Senator Hampton we're intrusted with
the lofty duty of composing the diff.
Guilty.
This they succeeded in doing without
being once struck, apparently, with
the idea that the whole was an ex.
tremely silly proceeding. 1t was de.
cided that all the correspondence
should be returned to the writer's, and
that they should meet as friend sto-day.
Mr.. Blackbu was engaged in an
equally sanguinary controversy once
before this season-that with General
BuYbridge. 1t has become matter Of
general remark, therefore, that while
Blackburn's ink flows from his pen
with frequency, and with what the
Western orator called "huidity" he
never loses any blood. Another inter.
esting circumstance is that q rival
for the Senate against Sena.
tor Williams is understood to have
disclosed the matter in the hope that
1t would injure the latter. This may
be the cause of more ink shed.

An Undutiful Son.

James Walls was before the Mayor
last night charged upon oath of his
mother, with committing an assault
and battery on her. From the evidence
it appeared that John came home in an
intoxicated condition yesterday after
noon, entered the house of his parents
on Jefferson street, between Eighth
Ninth, and after finding considerable
fault with the meal that was waiting
for him, commenced war on. the
dishes, demolishing about So worth,
and broke the tea.kettle and other
things. Not satisfied with this whole
sale destruction he knocked his mother
down, tore her clothes off and injured
her severely.
His mother stated that he threatened
to kill her and that she was afraid of
him. He was required to pay a fine of
IS and costs and to furnish 5000 peace
bond He will probably go to Jail, ,
unless the fine and bail is torthcom-
ing.

Daniel WeDster's Advice.

Other people may find the advice OF
Daniel Webster to his grandson OF
value to themselves. He wrote 1t
about four years before his death
1.-TWO or three things l wish now to
impress upon your mind. First, you
can not learn without your own efforts.
All the teachers in the world can never
make a scholar of you, if you do not
apply yourself with all your might. In
the second place, be of good character.
Have always but one rule, and let it be
to act right and fear nothing bat
wrong doing. Finally, Remember
your Creator in the days of your youth.
You are old enough to know that God
has made you and given you mind
and faculties, and will surely call you
to account. Honor and obey your
parents, love your sister and brother,
be gentle and kind to all, avoid peev-
ishness and fretfulness, be patient un.
der restraint. Look forward constant
ly to your approaching manhood, and
put off, more and more, all that is
frivolous and childish"

A. T. stewart Il Co.'s Chicago store
Closed.

There is great ill.feeling among the
employees of A. T. Stewart Il Co. s
house in Chicago over the summary
manner in which they were dismissed
on Friday. They allege that the ad.
verlisement on Arril Is, that the
business was to bs closed out, was the
first intimstion they had of it,
and that the managers assured them
that they need give themselves no un-
easiness until July l, for they would
be wanted until that time and perhaps
longer. To add to the strength of this,
many OF the men were told personally
by the managers that they would be
kept until July 1st or later. On Fri
day they were notified by the New
York house that their services would
not be needed any longer, and that
their salaries would be p aid to June 1.
This throws the men out of employ
ment at the height of tue dull season.
The Chicago house has come to an end.

A sERIOUS ASSAULT.
a Rough Mekea an Attssk On Dog
Catcher Hunt-Capsured afsor ON
Exett ing Chase.

A young man named } ohm W. Dugal
made an unprovUked assault on specia
officer John Hunt, yesterday afternoon
in the vicinity of Third and Churcl
streets. 1t appeared that Mr.. Hun
was on his way over Third street bridge
for the purpose of exterminating dog
and upon arriving at Third and Church
streets, he was approached by Dugan
who dealt him two severe blows on the
nose In quick succession, which made
the blood fly and knocked him down.
He then grabbed hold of him and thrust
him with great force against the window
of the Diamond State Iron Company 8
Office. David Dodson, who accompa-
MED Mr.. Hunt, seized the assailant, who
in turn made several attempts to strike
him tor interfering. A man named
Hanley then interfered in Dugan's be-
half, when he was released by Dodson.
Dugan then wanted to whip all three
of them, but he was kept at bay, until
he imagined that word had been tole.
graphed to the police station, and fear
ing that he would be captured, he pro-
ceeded to make his escape, going toward
Moore's ship yard, where he entered
aud went aboard vessel lying at the
wharf. Officers Hardy, Sharp, Taylor
and Traverse arrived shortly after, but
before they could arrest Dugan he was
taken down the creek in a row boat,
brought to aid him in making his
escape by a boy named Martin McDon.
ough. While officers Sharp and Ira
verse were procuring boat to 90 in
pursuit, officer Taylor fred his revolver
at the boy in order to scare him, but
the boy was "game" and would not
scare but kept on his way.
Officers Taylor and Hardy then pro.
ceeded ovsr Third street bridge, and
along the bank of the Christiana while
the other two officers pursued the fugi-
tive in boat. When opposite the
mouth Of Brandywine creek, Dugan at
tempted to land and was seized by the
officers on the bank. The arrest was
made after considerable trouble as the
prisoner resisted the officers until he
saw that it was no use. The boy Nc.
Donough made his escape but was sub
sequently arrested. Both prisoners
we're given hearing before the Mayor
last evening and number of witnesses
testified to the assault and also to the
escape of the prisoner aided by the boy
NIcDonough. After hearing the evil
dence the Mayor adjudged Dugan gull
ty and sentenced him to pay fine Of
$40 and costs and bound him over in
the sum OF $500 to keep the peace. Nc.
Donough was severely reprimanded
by the Mayor and ordered to pay a fine
of $40 and costs. 1t is doubtful if Du.
gan will be able to secure the necessary
bail and he will be sent to jail.
