WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Among the ap-
pointments made by the President to-day
was John w. Causey to be collector of
internal revenue for the district of Della
ware, to supercede Beniah Watson.
TJohn W. Causey is one of the best
known and most popular men in Della
ware. He is native of this State, a son
of the late Ex-Governor Peter Causey and
brother to W. f. Causey, Secretary of
State. John is about 40 years old, though
looking younger, bachelor and resides
in South Milford. He was q member
of the State Senate at the SEES
sions of 1875 and 1877, the only
political office he ever held, though he
has been power in Sussex politics for
the past decade. In appearance and
manners be is agreeable to captivating
degree, and even his rankest political
opponents have generally been warmly
attached to him socially. His competitor
for the collectorship was Theodore F.
Armstrong, the courteous and energetic
member from White Clay Creek of the
lower house in the last General Assembly.

A fire occurred yesterday morning, at 2
o'clock, at William t. Massey's flour and
feed store, Front at Orange streets. The
confagration started in part of the
building used as o stable and
its origin is unknown, but there are
suspicious that it was the work of an in
cendiary. The building was not badly
damaged, but considerable hay, &C.,
were destroyed, and horse valued
at $125 was smothered to death.
Mr.. Massey was asleep in the
second story of the building and was ar
reused in time to save some of his perso-
nal effects. As yet he cannot estimate his
loss. His stock. was insured for So, 900
in the Etna Company of New York,
of which James Woolley of this city is
agent. The building, frame structure,
belongs to the estate of George Alderdice
and is insured. The flames were discov.
cred by Thomas McEyerley and James
McNespey. In trying to rescue the horse
McEyerley sustained slight injuries.

M. Walker in the community where he
resides; it was bad, and he would not be-
lieve him on his oath.
On cross-examination Mr.. Fields said
he had heard others speak of Walkers
reputation; heard at least two speak OF it
before the shooting; one was Mr.. Dyer
lin, under whom Walker worked; the
other was Mr.. Shew, who was a constable
ut the Banks.
William Mayler, Jacob Shew and John
Hartmann, Jr., gave similar testimony.
Charles Wallace, n student at medicine
with DIR. Black of New Castle, testified
that he visited Becker in Jail, some time
in September Becker was then suffering
considerable pain, with large swelling
on his left jaw he treated it as bruise,
and dressed it twice.
Mayor Rhoads was called, and Mr..
Bird asked him if Becker had not applied
to him for special policemen at the park,
Becker to pay the expense. The State
objected to the question as irrelevant.
Mr.. Bird said he desired the testimony to
prove that Becker was law-abiding citi-
zen, DESTROYS of preserving order at his
place of business in lawful manner.
| The court sustained the States objection.
Then Mayor Rhoads, Victor DUPONT,
ESQ.,, John Fehrenbach, William r.
Brinckley, DR.. E. G. Shortlidge, Nicholas
Jenney, James v. Carlisle, John p. All.
mond and DIR. Camille Unger testified that
the general reputation of Becker fol
peace and good order was good, and that
they never heard it questioned.
Chambers e. Kemble was called as ar
expert in guns, and identified the gun ex
hibited yesterday by Sergeant Money al
one he had sold Becker. He said in hi
Judgment, and from the testimony o.
DR.. 0gle in relation to the character o.
McGinnis' wound, had Becker been nearel
than 10 or 10 yards when he fired, thu
discharge would have blown off the entir'
side of the victims head. &
Mrs. Elkinton, witness for the State
was called by the defence, and testified
that on Saturday, August 22d, Becker
bar was closed during the afternoon, afte
the Violet Club picnic started.
Mr.. Bird stated that the defence ha'
one other witness, Henry Stanger, who's
testimony was material, but though the,

Tuesday, aud Mr.. Bacon said if possible
he would try to have them here then.
The court granted the request of Mr.
Bird for continuance of the Davis Case
until Thursday morning, to which time
all the witnesses were discharged.
Then all the prisoners were brought
into court and arraigned, Becker being
the first called upon to stand up. Hi
listened to the indictment with serious
attention, and to the usual interrogation,
of the clerk replied with firm and posi-
tive not guilty" He looks careworn ant
anxious, but hopeful.
Lewis L. Davis was next arraigned. H,
was tastefully dressed in o new and well
fitting suit of dark brown material, will
standing collar and q gold pin in hi
necktie. These, with the pallor produced
by his confinement in jail, gave him III
appearance of gentility at variance witt
the crime with which he is charged. HI
listened to the indictment with his heat
bent forward and eyes cast down, AM
J answered not guilty in barely audibl
voice.
Charles Robinson, colored, listene,

, nounced Ella L. Gardner. instead of Ell
F., at the first reading. He pleaded nc
! guilty in an Indifferent manner, and the
; gave serious attention to consultatio
which his counsel had with him immC
diately after.
To all, the usual question of "Ho'
Y will you be tried ?" was put, and eac
s answered "By God and my country.

Mt the sale of the Valentine effects cannot b.
considered In this case, as 1t was the prop
erty of the husband, and not of the plaintiff
q. That the plaintiff cannot recover TO

, the products of that work and labor.
s. That where husband and wife ar
working together, and the husband con
tracts for his work and labor, the law doe
not imply any contract for the services 0
the wife, In the absence Of an express con
tract to this effect.

on the farm, II there was contract, eithe
express or implied, between tho piainti
and the defendant, growing out OF the sui
OF the effects, such contract entities her
