An Interesting Case.

The case of Tygert &Co., against
capt IL. ). Emory, of Kent county, is
one Whlch on account of the prominence
OF the parties to the suit and the a.
mount involved is of more than ordin-
ary interest. Suit was brought bv Tv-
CERT q Co in the United States Circuit
Court OF Baltimore city in 1887, against
capt. Emory on notes aggregating 500.
SOO, given in December 1885. at twelve
mouths, by Robert J. Ruth to the or.
der OF Emory and endorsed to Tvpert
q 60. as payment for 1900 tons Of fer
tllizlng material. At the expiration of
twelve months when the notes matur-
ed, similar notes in renewal were pivan
at seven months, and the original notes
returned by Tygert and Co. to Ruth.
and the renewals accepted. At the
maturity of the renewals, they were
dlshOnered and protested, whereupon
Iygert u Co. declared on both the
notes Of renewal. The defence was
that the original notes were admitted
to be genuine, while the renewals were
admitted by Capt Emory to be skilful-
~ executed forgeries, the question
before the jury was the forging UeL nom
of these notes.
The case was braught to trial in 1888
before jury, Bernard Carter and Hope
n: Barroll representing Tygert & Co,
w. Pinckney White, Richard Hynson,
and }. A. appearing for Capt. Emory.
The trial lasted one week and resulted
in disagreement of the jury, and it was
understood at the time that six were
for the plaintiffand six for the defend.
ant.
The case again set for trial on Tues
day last, in the United States Circuit
Court of Baltimore city, but by inter-
vention Of friends of the parties, COM
promise was entered into for the a.
mount of $4,000. The case involved
many nice points of law and through
out one of much interest," -ChestertolCn

Delaware's Governor.

meeting of the State commissioners

guratiOn centennial celebration, which
will take place in this city April Both,
Will for several days to come be seen
rushing along Broadway, with his long
white hair flying in the wind. Biggs
has had mighty good time since, as
governor, he has done the clucking for
The Blue Hens Chickens" He has
never been known to miss a dinner or
a public celebration to which he has
been invited as the chief executive of
Delaware. No matter what the Occa-
sion or the distance whence the invi-
tation may have come, Biggs' letter of
regret has yet to be written. This
graciOusness comes from no pompous
desire for personal exhibition, but is
simply due to the governors ardent
love for good time and the fact that
his own little commonwealth is too
small to crafty his desires in that
jovial respect. But wherever he goes
his hosts wish him to return. His ru-
bicund face, whose crimson hue is
heightened by his snow-white locks.
beams across a banqueting board with
a glow that warns all within its ra-

Governor Biggs' Suggestion.

The commissioners, of whom Cover
nor Biggs is one, to make arrangements
for the centennial celebration of Wash
ington's first inauguration as President.
met in New York Tuesday. The cele-
0ration is to be held in New York, Apr.
29 next, and the program as made out
includes public reception in the Gov
ernor's room of the City Hall on Apr.
%, at which President Harrison and
Governor Hill will be present, and
ball IN the Metropolitan Opera House;
religious services in St. Paul's Church
on Thursday morning, grand parade in
the afternoon, and a feast in the Met
ropolltan Opera House in the evening.
A novel suggestion made by Governor
Biggs was that it would be the right
thing for a crew of thirteen stalwart
New York citizens to row the President
from ElizabethpOrt to the foot Of Wall
street, as General Washington was
transported 100 years ago.

A Blow at the Sugar Trust.

Judge Barrett, in the New York Su-
preme Court, decided the test case in
the proceedings against the Sugar
Trust in favor of the people. In the
most important exhaustive opinion on
the subject Of trusts yet made, Judge
Barrett decided that the North River
Refining Company has forfeited its
charter by entering into combination
with other refining companies.
EditOrilly the Times declares that
"all the sOphistry by which it was pre-
tended that this was not combination
to prevent competition and control
production and prices is swept awaw
by this decision" The Herald iubi
lantly starts off its account with the
paragraph. "The sugar trust has re-
ceived a fatal blow" under a big head
ing doomed" 1t is to be hoped that
this may be the beginning of a series of
anti-trusts decisions that will give the
public its rights.
