ton. The facts are as follows: A Young
man by the name of Willard Mitchell
owed Mr.. MuIphcy $3d. Mitchell was
in the employ of Hanley Il Son, and they
endorsed his note. When the note became
due Mitchell was unable to meet it and it
went to protest. lIanley Il Son, the
endorsers, were duly notified of
the protest and of non-pay-
ment of the note by Mitchell.
The firm refused to pay the note on the
ground of special agreement entered
into between them and Murphey that he,
(Murphey) would not look to them for
payment if Mitchell failed to meet the
note Mt its maturity. The evidence was
very conflicting. Squire Jester to-day
decided that contemporaneous evidence

dorsers must make good the note. II. IL.

WILLIAM BEGGS.
An UntinleIy Death that is widely
Regretted.

William Beggs, son of James II. Beggs,
died Saturday morning and was buried
from his fathers house, No. 1909 Jefferson
street, on Tuesday last The remains We're
inferred in the Wilmington and Brandy
wine cemetery. The death was the result
of an accident which occurred two weeks
Friday in the brick yard of j. II. Beggs ~
Co., when the deceased WAS caught
by the shaft Of u clay erushor,
md his flesh badly mnngled but no
bones broken. II was moi thought ut
first that the injuries would prove fatal, but
during the early part OF the week uniavor-
able symptoms set in and the injured man
was attacked with lockiaw. DR.. Agnew was
sent for, but was not in philadelphia and
could not come. Drs. Shortlidge and Wales
were the physicians iu attendance. On
Thursday the patient was somewhat easier,
but the system was too weak TO overcome
the attack, and he finally succumbed this
forenoon.
Not for long while has the death of q
young man occurred that has accustomed
so much regret. He was 90 years of age,
and was very well known. In his short
career since boyhood he had manifested
qualities of heart that had endeared him tc
a large circle of acquaintance, many OF
whom were shocked at the news ol
his death. Being naturally u youth o.
robust constitution and the s0undest health
his untimely taking off seemed all the more
sad 10 them. Deceased had been very
active, and was u member of the Whining
ton Rink polo team, the Young Mems Re
publican Club and other organizations o
young men in this city.
