CAPITOL CHATS.

SHERIDAN pulled out of the race for
the presidency" said Auditor Bfaden
yesterday. "because he thought that
necessary to pass through the Shen-
andOah valley, and he didn't want
to be obliged to carry rations with him.

benefit"
"Why has Window lost his grip on
his old Supporters"' said man who
was member of the legislature at the
time the ex-senator was laid on the
shelf. II can tell you one of the rea-
sons why we members who stuck to him
clear through to the end cooled towards
him. After we had voted for him
long enough to see that he
could not be elected, about
thirty-five of us met at the Metropolitan
hotel and talked the matter over. We
decided to write note asking HIM to
release us from our pledges. We sent
the note and u carriage to him at
the merchants. He took no notice what
ever of our communication, and left us
sitting there. About twenty days after
the election of Sabin each one of us re-
ceived a nice letter from him, thanking
us for our support. But we never quite
forgot this slight, and my admiration
for Window has been on the wane ever
since"
An exciting pugilistic encounter took
place in the basement of the capitol
yesterday afternoon. Messrs. Milliken,
of the executive department, and DON
nelly, of Attorney General Clapp's
force, were the Sluggers. MeSSrs.
Nnralin. ond nnn1l no
hackers of the pugilists, and
Hon. f. p. Wade was the referee. Six
rounds were sufficient to satisfy the le-
gal gentleman, but the referee, never
theleSS, decided it a draw. The gov
ernor has taken charge of the gloves.
and these contests are at an end for the
present.

Ho, Every One That Thirsteth.
To the Editor Of the Globe.
Inotice with much regret the follow
ing from Rev. S. q. Smith quoted in
yesterdays GLOBE: mo one who is
over thirty years Old can be admitted
here unless he looks narticularIv
jaunty."
1t is well that greater than Samuel
Smith says. Suffer little children to
come unto Me, for such is the kingdom
of heaven and again it is said, ''Ho,
every one that thirsteth," etc. For my
own part, my age debars me from the
revel of Samuel Smiths Bible class: but
being comparative stranger in your
beautiful city, l am so glad to think
that am welcome to go TO the house of
God where the Golden Rule is eX-

WHAT WAS DONE IN THE COURTS.

Coroner Wagner Wins in His Suit with the
County Commissioners.
The trial of the suit of Theodore Wagner.
coroner. against the County Commissioners.
which continued through two weeks, was closed
yesterday morning by the jury returning ver-
dict for $3.50 for the plaintiff. The original de-
mand was SIS. When the jurors retired We'd
nesdsy morning three or four held out for YER
dict for the defendants, ard as they refused to
agree with those who favored the allowing of
the full amount. q compromise was reached
during Wednesday night to allow half the
amount asked. Coroner Wagner claims tine YER
diet settles the law points involved, namely:
That he was q judicial officer; had the power to
order inquests whenever he deemed them neces-
sary, and that the Commissioners had no right
to disallow his bills unless they had evidence
that he was CHARGING for work that not
done. The question to who shall pay the
costs in the amounting to over $780, still in
controversy, and will have to be ruled by
Judge Walker. In cases where the suit is
contract the costs have to be paid by the plant
if unless the verdict is for more than $50. If
the suit is not q contract the costs CO. IN case
the verdict IL for more than 50, against the de-
PENDANT. Attorney Winter. who represented
DR.. Wagner in the suit. claims that this not
a suit on contract. but on account. and the ques-
ton will be argued before Judge Walker one day
next week. The attorneys for the commission
ers have not decided what course they will
pursue in the future, but il is understood that il
the costs they will likely appeal to the Supreme
Court Until tbs matter IL finally settled Coro-
ner Wagner will receive no fees for the work he
has done during the last year.

THE MAYORS POLITICAL PREDICTIONS.

days of balloting, when the Mentcr statesman

William FL. Kimble. machinist, has petit
toned the Superior Court to annul his marriage
to Nancy Norris, in August, 1880. on the ground
that his wife had another husband living at the
time of her marriage to him. He says that
