Mrs. Murray, of New York, was
tired of widowhood, and yet no mar
riageble young man came to her
rescue. The old bachelors and the
widowers fought shy of her, but she
put an end to her widowhood, new
ertheless. She agreed to give Win
field Scott Shaw $4,000 if he would
marry her, and Winfield Scott fell
into her arms and told her that he
was hers, and hers only. The mar
riage took place, and soon Mrs.
Winfield Scott Shaw wanted her
her money back. She brought suit
for it, and the case is now being
tried. fit should be decided that
the money must be returned to her,
it will be useless in future iorwealthy
but unpleasant widows to bid for
manageable young men.

A few days ago the body of Nj
chael Finn, of Oneida county, New
York, was disinterred and a post
norton examination was held.
Finn died FIVE years ago. The rea-
son of this extraordinary proceeding
was thai Mrs. Finn could in no 9TH
er way prove her claim to a pension.
1t appears that Finn was shot in the
neck during the war. The ball was
not removed during his life, and il
was thoughtto have been the indi-
rect cause Of his death. The exam
ination furnished evidence which
was deemed sufficient to secure a
pension for the widow. b

THE TOUCH OF SIN.

When an earthly touch once mars
heavenly gift, it can never be re-
stored to its primitive beauty. Ruff
file the snow just fallen. and who
shall lay itagain /? Displace the dew
as it has fallen on the blushing fruit,
and no skill can replace it. Press
the rose-leaf and woundit, and none
can give back the perfection Of its
tints So it is with human character.
When youth has lost its innocence,
when sin has once blasted the soul,
when the first freshness of a God
given life is gone, no after repent
ance, reformation, or devotion to God
will ever make it the same. Memo
ry is polluted, the Imagination as
sailed by impurities, habits OF virtue
are weakened, and the force of vice
strengthened. Thesvileness may be
healed, but the scar remains. God
may forgive the sin, and man may
forget it, but it is never beyond the
vision of him who committed it, and
however distant it may be, it hovers
over him Ikea gloomy cloud. Let
us keep our feet from evil; blessed is
he who escapes its foul touch. 'The
knowledge of good and evil now. as
in the beginning, hath death in it. -

UP THE ANDERSON CASE.
The Evidence All Enlargement Made
ON Both sides.

The Evidence All In-Argument Made
on Both sides.
At yesterday afternoons session of the
Superior Court the trial of the damage
case of Anderson & Son against the city
was resumed. Evidence was heard for
the defence.
Joseph L. Carpenter, Jr. president of
the Street and Sewer Department, testi-
fed that Anderson & Son had made no
compl amt to him about the trench.
Ezek'al Anderson asked him who he was
to look for damages and witness told
him the department had nothing to do
with it. Payment Of damages was
always refused.
Holden w. Anderson said the firm
name was Anderson & Son. Some bill
heads had been printed E. Anderson &
Son. The account at the Wilmington
and Brandywine bank was in the name Of
E. Anderson.
The defence closed with this witness
The plaintiff called Ulysses Alexander
in rebuttal. He testified to the condition
of the trench, cellar md space between
the two houses.
William Alexander told how he fell
into the trench the morning after the
storm.
II. w. Anderson, John Anderson and
William Adams gave more trench tessi-
mony and the plaintiffs closed.
The court limited the argument on
each side to three hours.
A. Z. Sanborn, Esq, opened for the
plaintiff He argued that the exclusive
control of the streets was in the hands Of
the Street and Sewer Department and it
is liable for damages incurred through
bad streets. When permission is given
to open street due care and diligence
must be taken by the city TO see that the
work is properly done.
Before Mr. Sanborn concluded court
adjourned until this morning.
Andrew e. Sanborn. Esq, concluded
his argument for the plaintiff this morn
/ lug, making further propositions Of law.
He was followed by Judge j. Frank Ball,
who spoke until nearly noon. His
principal proposition was that contrac.
tor and not the city was liable, and he
quoted many authorities on the liability
for the negligence Of an independent con

STREET CAR SCHEDULE CHANGED,
Car to Leave the Middle Depot Everv
Ten Minutes.

The Wilmington City Railway Com
pany is contemplating a change in the
running of cars on the Fourth and
Spruce street line.
Under the present arrangement cars
are started from Fourth and Market
streets every fifteen minutes These cars
are run to the end Of ths line beyond
Eleventh street bridge and then, without
stopping at the terminus, return.
This proposed change is to add two
more cars to the line and start car
every ten minutes from theMiddle Depot,
thus doing away with the Fourth and
Market street stopping place.
This plan would be advantageous in
more respects than one. 1t would obviate
so many changes. 1t would also give a
more complete service to passengers for
points north of Fourth street. and at the
same time give passengers on the old
line better service than they have al
present. Another advantage ia the pro.
posed change is that it will make it un
necessary to keep the horses standing at
Fourth and Market streets exposed To
cold and storms as they do at present.

Say-A New Point.
The mandamus decision has aroused

Democrats are that il is what they ex.
pected and many Republicans say the
same. for entirely different reasons. Be
low are few opinions expressed this

have not seen Mr. Higgins and no further
steps have been decided upon
John II. Rodney ESQ.,: II have moth
ing to say. The matter is settled to my
satisfaction"
Walter H. Hayes Esq :"But it is what
| expected. think the conclusions are
reached in an illogical way"
l.. 9. Vandegrift, Esq. 1T Is all right.
No man has the right to ask for tax re-
ceipts in punches. The matter has been
settled as ! expected.
Elk Marshall John M Dunn: 81 think
The court straddled both parties. The
decision indicates the desire of the court
that the parties settle the matter
between themselves. Il is the pur-
pose of the court to sit and watch
the collectors and see that they
behave themselves and have no more non
sense. believe that the franchise is
valuable enough for a man to 60 and pay
his tax himself and think the collectors
should issue the receipts without any
delay"
Willard Salisbury, Esq ''It places
the matter in the state ! advocated be-
fore that the collector should receive
taxes from every one who offered them,
taxables or agents. but should issue the
receipts to the taxables only. This would
avoid giving the ward bosses control OF
a mans vote by holding the evidence OF
his right to vote. The court must have
overlook the getty election. The
decision rules that the payment
of the tax is the voting qualification, moi
the holding of receipt. In city cleo
tions every voter must be registered. He
registers on his tax receipt, which must
be stamped Registered, and he cannot
vote unless be is registered. A tax re
ceipt is therefore a necessary quallhca
tion in city election.
