ALONG THE Is. q u hAlLhOAD,
Early corners to this city from
Newark were greeted with the effects of
the storm along the line Of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad by overlooked
streams and floating debris of every de-
scription, the meadow lands and marshes
being completely inundated. White Clay
Greek, just east of Newark, was over
flowing its banks in all directions the
stream being, in some places, fully a
quarter Of a mile wide.
AS the train was passing Stanton sta
ton look across the low lands between

roads showed them completely covered
with water, while houses in the vicinity
of Stanton, seemed surrounded by the
flood. But at Mill creek, between east
and west junction, the widest expanse
of water was seen. The water had
overflown the tracks at. the small bridge
crossing the stream and fences for at
least half mile on the north side OF
the track were barely visible. The
water had surrounded small house
and stable and was flowing through the
lower floor to a depth of five or six
inches. A hay and straw stack, con.
tanning several tons, was on the verge
of floating away, and the garden and
truck patch was covered with two feel
| of water.

A Fruit Merchant Sued for Non-paymen
of Rent.


Antonio Malascalzo, the italian fruit
vender at Eighth and Marketstreets was
before Squire Sasse on Tuesday
charged by Phillip Plunkett with non
payment of rent. Antonio rented the
property No. 104 Market street about
two years ago from Mr.. Plunkett the
landlord, and subsequently sub-let the
property of Nathan Spanole another
resident Of the land of balmy Italy.
Then Ebony" left the premises and
went to his present location at Eighth
and Market streets. Spanole continued
to conduct his business at No 104
Market street but Malascalzo paid the
rent to Mr.. Plunkett and Spanole paid
Malascalzo. A short time ago the
money ceased to come and Mr.. Plunkett
had warrant issued for "Tony's" ar
rest. The case was called for Tuesday
morning and when the time came for
the trial the Eighth street N erchant had
engaged the services of ex-City Solicitor
William T. Lyman.
When called TO the stand MalascalZo
insisted that he did not owe Mr.. Plunkett
any money and said
"Me paya Mr.. PUNK all the mon
and owa him no rent"
Squire Sasse said that the matter had
resolved itself into question Of veracity
between Mr.. Plunkett and the Italian,
and he believed the former was telling
the truth, as the Italian had not receipts
to show that he had paid the rent.
Judgment was rendered in the sum
of 800

THE I'M REFUSED.


t1bre Coinpany's hiSnts.
A motion was made in the United
States district court, on June 18th by
the Vulcanized Fibre Company, through
Bradford & Vaudegrft, for an injunc-
ton to restrain Edward NJ. Taylor, of
this city, from using vulcanized fibre in
the manufacture of chair seats and backs
and like articles,o on the ground that it was
an infringement of their patents. On
July 18th the case was argued before
Judge Wales, William S. Hilies repre-
senting the respondent. On Tuesday
Judge Wales rendered his decision.
The compliments claimed that the
use of vulcanized fibre for chair seats
and backs was q patent obtained by them
| from the inventor, Reuben H. Plass, and
that its use for this purpose by the re-
| spondent was an infringement. The
| opinion held that the use OF the material
for such a purpose was not an inven-
tion, and that its adaptation to this special
kind of work by Plass was nothing more
than the judicious selection Of material
for two of the component parts of chair
choice that could have been made
by any mechanic who was skilled in the
art Of making chairs and had the ma
terial at hand. In the course of time
vulcanized fibre may still more gener-
ally take the place of other materials,
but such substitution, if it amount to
nothing more than the change of one
substance for another, will not consti-
tute an invention or discovery according
to the legal meaning of those words as
defined by repeated decisions of the
Supreme Court The substitution may
produce in some respects new and
useful article, yet if it is not the result
of creative Invention, it will not be
entitled to patent.
Citations were made by the court in
support Of this view, one being de-
cision to the effect that the substitution
OF porcelain for metal in making door
knobs of a peculiar construction was
not patentable, though the new ma
terial was better adapted for the pur-
pose and made better and cheaper
knob. And so, also, the substitution OF
wood for bone, as the basis of bottom
covered with tin, was held to be not
patentahle.
Plass' claim, the court held, is for q
plain substitution, like the porcelain in
the door knob being the same in prin-
ciple and certainly displaying no higher
degree of ingenuity.
The motion for preliminary in
junction was denied.

TROUBLED PREsB FTERIANs.
Delaware City in a Ferment Over the
Alleged Actions of u Minister.

Alleged Actions of a Minister.
Referring to the trouble at Delaware
City, said to have been caused by the
Rev. Robert A. McEwen Bell, an ex-
change says:
The Presbyterians of Delaware City are
in peck of trouble, all because their pas
tor, the Rev, McEwen Bell, will not resign.
The Rev. Bell came direct from Ireland to
Delaware City tritle over year ago. He
is big, brawny man, and had such rich,
pleasant brogue that he at once captured
the hearts OF the female portion OF the
congregation. In fact, being unmarried,
he was courted, and daughters of wealthy
farmers would drive to the manse with
splendid teams and show him the fertile
farms around Delaware City For several
Sundays after the Rev. Bell had been in
stalled as pastor, he preached dandy SER
mons, but since that time it is reported
that his exhortations have only been noted
for their brevity. Some of his enemies
claim that the first sermons were
stolen, but probably the conclusion is
barren one. Several times has the Rev.
Bell been asked to resign, but he declines
to please his congregation. The other
evening the elders OF the church waited
upon their pastor and promised that If he
would only resign they would pay all his
Delaware debts and give him his salary up
to next October. Still the pastor declined,
and the discussion became so animated
that he threatened to throw Elder Money
out Of the window. The matter is the talk
of the village, the local paper has taken W
the subject, and the war promises to be {
lively one. Meanwhile Brother Bell hold:
the fort, and deiiantly snaps his fingers a
| his enemies.
Some ministers of this city were seer
on Monday and when questioned abou
the trouble admitted they had heard
rumors, but said they preferred to no
repeat them, because of their vagueness
Before going to Delaware City Mr.
Bell spent year at Princeton. RumorI
about him were rife in Delaware
City when the New Castle Presby
terry met there last spring, and members
of that body were surprised that he die
not resign then. 1t is stated that he die
not offer to resign until he saw that thu
church was becoming disrupted. A
last Sundays services, it is declared
only six COMMITMENTS were in attend
ance. He then gave notice of his in
tention to resign, and called meeting
| of the congregation.

upon their premises at that place, hav-

capacity will be about go barrels per
