LAST EDITION
THE srRADLEY CASE SETTLED.
The Plaintiff Gets Heavy Damages From
theP. w. e. b. r.. II. Company.

The Plaintiff Gets Heavy Damages From
theP. w. 8 b. r.. r. Company.
The case of Charles g. Stradley
against the P, w & B. r. R Company
was compromised last night. after q
lengthy conference among the LAWYERS
interested and hence the Superior Court
was without case this morning.
The plaintiff lost leg while at work in
the Pullman car shops through the
carelessness, so he alleged, of the crew
in charge of the railroads shifting en- :
CINE. He prayed for 800, 600 damages and
the case has been occupying the atten-
fion of court all week. After the coun-
sci for the plaintiff, Levi @. Bird, Esq,
and Albert Constable. Esq, of Elkton had
rested their case, a great surprise was
sprung on them when the lawyers for
the railway company, Senator Gray ana
George V. Massey, Esq, of Dover, who
entered motion fer non-sutt. This
motion WAS argued exhaustively, pro and
con, but Chief Justice Comegys refused
TO throw the case out of court.
Then, for two days, the defence ex-
amined number of railway employees in
a vain endeavor to break down the plain
tiff case. Convinced of the hopeless
ness of their attempt, they made
proposition TO StradleY's lawyers, to settle
the matter out Of the court.
Just what sum the manned plaintiff
has received it is impossible to ascertain
accurately because the lawyers on either
side are pledged not to reveal the exact
amount, but from one of the distin.
guished counsel it was learned that the
award of damages agreed upon was less
than $40, 900 and somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
1t was also limited that the Pullman
Palace Car Company bad come to the
assistance Of the p, w. & B., and volun-
tered to pay half of the amount which
Stradley IS to receive.

Mr.. Barton Cheyney, the managing

his taxes in May and consequently, he
might have known that he did not owe
any more taxes for 1885, But he went
to the tax Office several times and stood
IN line for several hours waiting his
turn. Considering the complete and ae-
curate knowledge which obtains in the
Office of the Every Evening concerning
ali matters connected with the Lew
Court and the taxes. it Is strange that its
chief man did not know that be could not
pay the same taxes twice.
