THESIGNATURE GENUINE.
Verdict Of the Jury In the Bond
(Ake.

Shortly after Court opened Yesterday
afternoon the jury in the case Of the
State OF Delaware vs.. Thomas Bratton
came in and rendered verdict III favor
of the State, declaring that they be)iev.
ed tLe name of William j.. Reynolds, as
one Of the sureties on the bond, to be
his signature, written by him. lmme-
dlately after the verdict was rendered
the jury was discharged from further
attendance at this term.
| EG. Bradford, Esq. for the plaintiff,
then opened argument in tbs case OF
Anthony Keybold vs. George A. Parker
of Boston, Samuel M. FELTON, Of Thur
low, Samuel Harlan and Jesse Lane,
deceased, late of this city. This suit is
brought to recover large amount OF
money, which the plaintiff alleges IL
due him by the defendants under the
terms of contract made in 1866 for the
charter of a steamboat and other mat
ters. Suit was originally begun in 1874
but could not be proceeded with on
account of the absence OF George A.
Parker, one of the defendants, from tht
State, and the imposibility of reaching
him by legal process.
A summons to appear was tnal lly
served upon him as he was passing
through this city. Mr.. Bradford s
argument was upon demurrer, tc
determine whether or not the statute OF
Limitation in this State would hold
good against Messrs. FELTON,, Harlan
and Lane. He spoke nearly three
hours, and held that the absence of Mr..
Parker, who is still out of the State,
did not debar action against the re-
naming debtors and contended that
Mr.. Parker, by failing to appear after
being summoned, is outlawed, and
that action can be brought against the
other defendants. Levi G. Bird, Esq,
is associated with Mr. Bradford for tht
plaintiff, and George Gray, Esl re-
presents the defendants.

Beyond doubt the most indiP1.abls
evidence 70 be obtained anywhere Of the
unceaslnS, steady and rapid growth OF
our city. il that furnished By the post
Office. In the Assessments are iucsna-
tons, more or less violent, by reason o.
dnl or brisk times, and census reports
are far from infallibIe. Through trade
ne can esrnoniy through the general
tenor of long term of years, but
through the postofhoe We can learn
without mistake. With view to get
ting accurate and reliable information
on this score, ve recently called upon
Postmaster Carr, and through his cocr-
tesy we're permitted to look over the
books As those mos. convenient, most
easily understood, and b=arise most d.
rectly upon the s1bjec. treated of we're
money ofders-ve examined them.
The first money order issued IN the
Seattle postoftice Vas sent on the Iosh
of October. 1871, and from that time 20
this there has been an ever increasing
nov, the issue being very percep.ibly
greater each succeeding year. This in
crease We viii endeavor TO make plain
Ii the table following, the first column
Of which indicates the year, the second
the whole number of orders issued up
20 the expiration of that year. and the
third column the number issued during
that year:
Seattle daily post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, W.T. [Wash.]) 1881-1888, 1883-09-15

1t will be noticed that the number is
sued in 1875 was twice as great as the
number in 1872; the number in 1877 was
three times as great as the number in
1873; the number in 1880 was four times
that of 1874, and the number in 1892
was twice that of 1879, and nine times
that of 1872. Each year showed an in
crease over every year preceding it.
Great, though, as was the gain of
16S2, that of 1883 promises to exceed it.
Maintained throughout the whole year
as in the 1rst seven months, The num-
Der Issued in 1888 will be about 500. or
one-half greater than in 1882. The
present issue is about 1000 orders a
month.
For the first time in its history, the
Seattle Office last year took the lead of
the Territorial offices in the matter Of
money orders issued, a lead that it has
widenea this year, and that it will
hsnceforth retai2 indefinitely.
