The Circuit Court.

The case of John q. and Ka'e NJ. Davis
VS.. William NJ. Singeriy, which had besn
on trial since the beginning of the session of
the court after the holidays, WAS given to
the jury at late hour on Tuesday night.
The jury after three hours delioeraJiou
found sealed verdict, which when handed
to the court in the morning, was found to be
for the defendant.
On " ednesiaY the case of James Me-
keown VS.. the p. w. & b. railroad was
taken mp. This was suit for damages to
compensate James Mex sown, of Charles
town, for the death of his minor son, John
Mckrown. Young Mckeown WAS employed
as a track hand by The company. While
riding on hand car his clothing caught i'll
the crank and he was thrown on the track
ahead OF the car, run over and received iu-
juries that resulted in his death. 1t was
claimed by the plaintiff that the hand car
was OF discarded pattern, and if the mach
inc had been Of modern pattern which
does not work with crank, the accident
would not haye occurred. The defendant
offered no testimony. The court decided
that there was not sufficient evidence to
Justify IA verdict tor the plaintiff, and ill.,
structed the jury to find for the defendent.
Albert Consts BILE and Hester Hess for plain
tiff; William j. Jones, Alexander Evans

A test case of considerable interest was
submitted to the court on the written stale
ment of counsel Tue case is that of State
of Mary land VS.. James A. Davis, clerk Of
the Circuit Court for Cecil county. The
case was docketed in order to get ruling
of the court Oh the question. Mr.. Davis,
with six or eight other clerks of the courts
in various counties of the State. believes
that the entire fec of 81 for marriage IL
cense belongs to the clerk Under the old
marriage license law, which was repealed
by act of Legislature when the present one
WAS enacted in 1856, the cost of a MARI age
license WAS i.5O, of which amount the
clerk received fifty cents for issuing the
same Tie State officers claim that the
slerk should receive the.arDe amount under
the new law, and turn the other fifty cents
into the State treasury. The State CLAIMS
that Mr.. Davis owes sli4, 80 in this way.
The duties of the clerk i'll connection with
issuing marriage licenses under the asw
law are much greater than nnder the Old,
and also required the purchase Of special
books for the purpose. The court held the
matter under Amusement 1t is believed
that whatever way the Case is decided it
will go to the Court of Appeals for final de-
cision.

at auction or otherwise dispose of what
remains.
As to the contests, Mr.. Frank Nc.
Cartney was the lucky one to win a
beautiful set of harness. The contest f.
gold watch has not yet been decided.
owing to the fact that tho principals
could not be brought together. This con.
test will probably be decided on Satur.

at that time, must forfeit all claims in the
contest.

To the Honorable TIE General assembly

We the undersigned citizsns and tax
payers of Cecil county respectfully rep
resent that the Rad Law of Cecil county
by reason of The large number uf offices
it creates. and the useless specifications
and requirements it contains, is rendered
unnecessarily e2 penslve and impJssibl Die
of execution.
We do therefore pray that the said
Road Law be SO altered or amended as to
authorize the County Commissioners to
make aud keep the roads in proper re-
pair by contracting with suitable persons
to do the work, or by employing them by
the day as in their judgment may be
best, without the intervention of Road
Commissioners, Road Inspectors or any
other official, Whatsoever"

A Laudable Example.

1t is strange, but nevertheless true,
that many persons who pay promptly for
other things that they purchase, either
from intent or neglect, do not pay for
their newspaper until several years sub
scriptions are due. While remembering
that the storekeeper has to pay his bills
promptly to keep up his credit. they See
that he receives what is due him, but
apparently forget that the owner of &
newspaper has regular and constant
expenditure for wages for employees,
paper, machinery, ink, and other ma
terials aside from the requirements fol
his own sustenance, aud neglect to pay
their subscription promptly. Wsreceived
the following communication this weeL
