A Writ of Eviction which Evicts the
Wrong Parties.

DOVER, Del, April 15-The case of
Black VS.. Thomas is one Of the talks of
the day here Black is backed by Scot
ton; Section is backed by Vincent. Mrs.
Thomas is quite small woman, but she
backed Scotton and Vincent out of the
door and now holds the fort.
writ was issued to Constable Enoch
Clark of this town in February last,
which was held until yesterday by Clark.
1t has been almost daily inquiry ever
since it was issued: When is Mrs. Thomas
going to be put out Of the house2 But
no one could tell when it would be done.
Last Friday Mr. Clark took his deputy
and went off in the same quiet way that
they do all Of their work Of
an exciting nature. to the house Of Mrs
Thomas When Mr.. Clark read to her
his writ she showed no signs CT resent
ment, and almost before the neighbors
knew anything of what was going on the
goods were all out of the house and Mrs.
Thomas as well About this time Mr..
Black arrived on the ground, and with
him Section and Vincent, Mr. Clark
called Mr. Black in and delivered him the
house. thus finishing the execution of his
writ. He then with his deputy moved
away and on TO other business. As soon
rs Mr. Black received the house he like
wise delivered TO Mr.. Section the posses
sion of the same, and he at once
left the premises. Then Mr. Section
went into the house and was
followed by Mr. Vincent. They had no
sooner taken look at the front room
when they heard a noise in the adjoining
room, and when the went in they found
Mrs. Thomas with chair and her two
boys, having entered az the back door as
soon as the officers left. Section and his
man Vincent went to work to put Mrs
Thomas, her chair and her two boys out,
while they were scufiling over possession
with the woman the children were at
work at the front carrying in goods as
fast as they could and in very short
time Mrs Thomas and her goods were in
the house, and Mr.. Section and his
would-be tenant Vincent was seen going
away from the field Of battle with sails
and flags all furled for future use.
This is house over which there have
been several law suits, both Mr. Scotton
and Mrs. Thomas claiming the property.
The two last suits were won by Mr..
ScottOn, and possession both times has
been delivered TO him by Mr. Clark, but
it seems for some cause Section fails to
hold It after he gets it, and tonight
when your correspondent was talking to
Constable Clark he said in plain words
that he never intended to handle another
writ in relation to that house if he could
by any means avoid IT, as Mrs. Thomas
would still hold the fort.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 1G.-The right
Of the state officers to negotiate a loan Of
S70e, 900 on bonds issued under authority Of
an act of the last legislature was passed upon
yesterday by Judge Howland He holds
that none OF the conditions specified in the
constitution and necessary to make loan
valid existed at the time the bonds were
issued, and for this reason the proposed loau
is unconstitutional The loan was nego-
tiatsd with the German savings bank of New
York, which afterwards refused TO carry out
the agreement The court holds that the de
felt must he present and not future when til,
lean is made. If the decision is sustained the
$500, 900 loan made two years ago is also un.
constitutional, and the German savings banl
holds nearly all Of those bonds.
