John =. MIIIer's House IL Robbed OF
R5O xVnrah OE Snn0nA.

k5O WDrth Of Spoons
The house OF John s. Miller, the grocer
at Rising Sun, which is located at the
corner of Seventeenth street and Mt.
Salem avenue, on the border of the High
lands, was entered and robbed by q
burglar last Sunday night The robber
either intended to clean up the neighbor-
hood or had some confederates at work,
for the first attempt was ut the house of
w. Il. Brinokle, near by, on Mt Salem
avenue. An electric bell frightened the
thief away. Tue next attempt was at the
house of William Young, adjoining Mr..
Miller, which was tried but the burglar
failed to get in. He went then to Mr..
Miller's place and bored hole in q parlor
shutter at the front of the house but
could not move the bolt. From there he
went around to the side of the house and
bored another hule in kitchen shutter,
where he succeeded In pulling the bolt
back. The window sash fastener was
then broken with jimmy and the open
ing was made.
Mr.. Miller heard the noise about this
time and called the attention of his wife
to It. She, however, attributed the noise
TO no more unusual an occurrence than a
belated visit from her daughters "Sweet
William" and both fell asleep again.
When they arose they found the house
had been entered, the burglar getting %
silver teaspoons and dozen tablespoons
He picked out only solid silver and left
the plated ware. The goods stolen wat
worth $50. This is the second time bur
glars have tried Miller's house, but the
iirst time they have succeeded. Mr.
Young's house has been tried three timeI
within the past year, but the prowleri
have been foiled each time.

MIDDLETowN, Aug. 2.-Lzz;e Gould,
colored, seems to be a regular patron al
Squire Vasey's court. Last Friday she
caused thearrest of Jerry Rhodes, colored,
on the charge of felonious assault. Jerry
was about to be committed in default Of
bail, when Lizzie waited ON him, and
after the payment of $40 Jerry was re-
leased, and it was announced that ''the
case was compromised" Rather queer
case to compromise, too.
Trouble and delay is what nils the cleo
trio light. All, you beautiful shade trees
the mischief you are doing. There seems
to be but one way for Mr.. Heger to settle
the difficulty, and that is to insulate the
wires, Do it Mr.. Heger and let the cleo
trio lighting begin, we are tired of dark
ness, and also tired of hearing the owners
of these trees make threats which they
never expect to carry out. Many persons
took the electric light, hoping to be rid OF
so much rent during the summer evening
but if more haste is not made they will
have to await until next summer for such
benefits.
The heavy wind and rain storm of a
few nights since made some corn fields
look fiat, and the continued wet weather
is doing much damage to wheat. It has
begun to sprout in the sheaf. A gentle.
man in this vicinity has sold his crop Of
76 cents per bushel.

decided in favor of the plaintiff at the
May term of the superior court for thls
county, the defendant filed exceptions 70
various rulings of the court, upon wmeh
they proposed to take the case 10 the
court of errors and appeals. The court
(Chief Justice Oomegys and Judges
Wootten and Houston), however, refused
to sign the defendants bill of exceptions,
which prevents the case from being taken
to the higher court The Judgment OF the

Injunction Continued Against Ford

Injunction Continued Against Ford
Ryan,s Morocco Factory.
A hearing was had before the chancellor
at Dover, on Monday and Tuesday, in
the injunction cases against the Messrs.
Ford and Thomas #. Ryan. The case Of
the Jessup a. Moore Paper Company was
first called and Messrs. Edward e. Brad.
ford and Willard salisbury, DR., of com.
plainant's counsel, offered to read
numerous afiidayits in support of the bill.
The reading of these affidavits WAS strenu-
ously opposed by William @. Spruance,
Esq, for defendants, Senator Gray, the
other OF defendants counsel, being absent.
After an extended argument the chancel-
lor decided that the affidavits migl; pro
perly be read. The defendants counsel
then asked for time to obtain counter
affidayits and this was given him, the
complainant not resisting. This case was
on lule to show cause why prelimi
nary injunction should not be issued, and
the rule was continued because the de-
PENDANT desired to obtain opposing affi-
davits.
In the case Of Ann b. Forman against
the morocco factory the preliminary in.
junction already granted against Ford u
withstanding the efforts of defendants
counsel TO get it dissolved or modified.
On compliments application an examiner
will be appointed TO take testimony in
| this latter case.
The Jessup a. Moore case will come up
in September 18th on affidavits. The
present state of the suits is that there is
an injunction in the Forman case abso.
lutely prohibiting the discharge from the
factory of any polluting matter, and the
Jessup II Moore can, if any such matter is
discharged into Silverbrook, Immediately
obtain nm ex-parte preliminary injunc

The new factory is in completed con.
dition, six stories high and under roof
and represents an investment of $50, 600
Unless IL can be operated without the dis
charge of any poliuting matter into Sill

prevent it from boing put into operation
