bidding the arrest of freeholders of a GER
tain class on capias. which was invoked by

issued at the instance Of Heury s. Wolfe. is
virtually repealed by the following later

COURT OF CUMMON PLEAS.
A Suit For s5O0-The Hartman Will

"A suit For 06UO-Tno hartman Will Case.
BEFORE JUDGE LIVINGSTON.
The first case attached was that of
Josephine Schilling VS.. Henry Pimper.
which was to recover loan of $500 alleged
to have been made. The defense admitted
that Pimper had received the money, but
claimed that it was gift from the plain
tiff, she insisting on eDdowing the defend
ants wife (plaintiff's daughter) with it !;
the defendant took the money from his
wife at her request and invested it in
bonds in her name. The jury found for
the plaintiff in the sum of $685., the amount
claimed with interest.
Catbarine Herr vs.. Henry Eshelman a
replevin case, to recover a sOrrel mare with
foal, valued at $75, which tho piaintive al
legged was uDjustly seized by the sheriff.
The defense contended that they came
into the possession of the horse by trade
with Rudolph Herr, the righful owner,
and it had been decided by board of ar
bitrators, who were neighbors of the plain.
tiff, that he was entitled to her,
prior to the sale to defendant. On trial.
BEFORE JUDGE PATTERSON.
In the Hartman will case evidence in
favor of the defense was heard yesterday
until about the middle of the afternoon
when this side rested. Tho plaintiff then
asked the court to take the case from the
jury, and enter judgment in favor of them;
they claimed that the defense had not
shown sufficient incapacity on the part Of
the deceased or that he was unit to dis.
pose of his property, or that undue iDflu-
ence had been exercised over him. Tho
court denied the motion and concluded to
let the case 60 to the jury. The defense
then began to call witnesses to show that
the deceased was not so mentally affected
as to incapacitate him from making a will
at the time he is alleged to have done 50.

Pendleton is responsible for Keim's ap.

be disclosed that he secured it on very
different grounds from those on which
he has urged that the civil service ap-
pointments should be made. The appli-
cation of these to Keim would have de-
barred him and that he was not subject
to them proves that Pendleton. like
Schurz, Curtis and other advocates of

with its practical enforcement, have
