Caught in the Act.-About 10 CLOCK on
Monday night last some men employed about the
canning establishment of Col. S. N. Hyde, in
Long Green Valley, heard noise in one of the
buildings and summoning assistance they sur
rounded the place and caught the burglar, who
proved to be q named j. M. Everist, who
lives on the York road, 9th district. He had a
horse and wagon standing near by and was accom-
panied by another man, who made his escape
Everist used harrow tooth to pry open door,
but before he could secure any canned goods,
which he was doubtless after, he was caught and
tied with ropes. His captors watched him until
Tuesday morning when word was sent here and
deputy sheriff Risteau went up and brought the
prisoner to Towsontown, when he was committed
to Jail. Everist is known in Towsontown and
has been here many times buying empty barrels.
The men were we'll prepared for work, being heav
lily armed and supplied with tools for breaking
open buildings. 1t is said they professed to be
employed as telegraph line men and that the tools
were for use in that business.

the public, as so many "sure cures have proved
a disappointment, but with Celery, Beef and Iron,
its medicinal powers can only be shown in its use.

trial of the case of ohm Uzuber vs. Ohm H. Levin
removed from Baltimore county, was concluded
in the Carroll county Circuit Court on Tuesday
morning, after being on trial about ten days. 1t
was suit for damages for malicious prosecution
and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff for ST.
900. Uzuber and Levin, in 1879 and 1880, owned
adjoining farms in the upper end of Baltimore
county. There was dispute as to the dividing
line between them, but Uzuber cut some timber
on that part of the land, which he claimed as his
own. Levin got Mr.. Charles B. MCLEAN to sur
vey the line, and afterward Uzuber got William
H. Shpley to do the same work. These two
lines did not agree. levin moved the old fence
to the MCLEAN line, and Uzuber moved it back to
the Shipley line on and near where the old fence
had stood. Levin then swore out warrant for
Uzuber's arrest, charging him with cutting and
destroying his timber and stealing his rails. He
was held to bail in the sum of $500. After nine
sessions of the grand jury Uzuber was discharged
by order of the court, and brought the present
suit. The was tried in Baltimore county
and the jury failed to agree, and the case was then
removed to Carroll county and resulted in the
above verdict. Messrs. Niles and Wolff of Balti-
MORE and Hon. Charles B. Roberts, represented
the plaintiff, and Messrs. Boarman :and Yelott,
of Towsontown, and Hon. William P. Maulsby,
the defendant.
Mr.. Uzuber is German resident of Baltimore
city and keeps a saloon at Isl Saratoga street.
He says that he cares nothing for Lewin's money,
but is happy because Of the vindication of his
character by the verdict.

lors.-The handsome double house on the north
west corner of Charles street avenue and Bounda-
ry avenue, which, as heretofore noticed in The
UNION, had been leased by the enterprsing firm of
J. S. Ditch & Bro, after undergoing thorough
renovation, refurnishing, &c, was opened as cafe

there was an informal "spread," to which large
number of invitations had been issued and which
were generally responded to. After inspecting
the many improvements, &C., the company sat
down to an elegantly prepared banquet, which
was heartily enjoyed and good time had gener-
ally. This new enterprise of the Messrs. Ditch is
the first of the kind in that rapidly improving
section of the city, and as the reputation of the
firm has long since been established, it is safe to
predict that the new undertaking will prove as
successful as the numerous other branches of bus
mess in which they are engaged have been. Meals

THE ANDREWS CASE.
sudge Virgin oraers Proeeeaing. ssuashed


At the coming in of the court yesterday
following entry in the case of Benjamin f.
Andrews, petitioner, vs.. the Mayor and Board
of Aldermen of the City of Portland:
Proceedings quashed. Judgment for the
petitioner, for costs against M. +. King, H.
A. Hallett, j. +. Hawkes., E. B. Dsnison
and K. A. Noyes upon the petition and the
writ of certiorarl.
The whole hearing upon the suficiency of
the record of the Mayor and Aldermen was held
at the last July court term and the fall bench
decided that the record was insufficient by
reason OF certain errors in matters OF form,
such as the Mayor not presiding at the hear
ing and itnot appearing that majority OF the
Aldermen concurred in sustaining each Bpeci
fc charge, and thersupon this Law Court or
dered the writ of certiorari to issue with q
view to quash the record. The hearing at the
present term waa simply upon the method OF
carrying out the decree which the Law Court
had made, and incidentally upon the amount
OF costs to be allowed to the petitioner. The
counsel for the city reserved the right to file
exceptions to the allowance of costs upon the
petition for the writ on the ground that the
Law Court did not order such costs to be as.
sessed against the defendants in its rescript
and therefore that the court at nisi prius could
not allow them. Judge Virgin decided to
allow costa against the defendants, both upon
the petition and upon the writ, and this ruling
Is subject to the exceptions reserved by the
defendants. Costs allowed by Judge Virgin
are merely the taxable costs of the court such
as officers clerks and witness fees exnansas of
printing, ETC., and do not include counsel fees.

fellow inquired and the circumstance appeared
to him to be SO strange that he telephoned to
Portland. Mr.. Fsrnald took fast team snd
started in pursuit of the man, overtakipg him
at North Bridgton. It seems that citizen of
that place had noticed the jaded appearance
of the horse as he was driven through the vii
lage and hal called Deputy Sheriff l. s.
Webb's attention to the case. The deputy
promptly ordered the team put up and tele-
phoned Marshal Andrews the facts. In the
meantime Mr.. Fernald arrived. The man
was arrested and carried to Bridgtcn Centre
when preliminary examination was held
before Justice W. w. Gross, who. in default
of bail, committed the prisoner to Jail to await
