Harper Before the Grand .1uru.

The case of w. ". Harperof Reybold.
goes to the grand jury to-day and it is
probable that he will be indicted for
embezzling the funds of the National
Life Insurance Company of Montpelier,
VT Mr. Harper was formerly general
agent for this company in the territory
comprising Delaware, Maryland, Virgil
mia and the District Of Columbia. Ii is
alleged that he took and appropriated to
his own personal use the money paid
him by parties whose insurance he had
written, beside securities belonging to
his company. 1t is not given out how
much Harper embezzled, but the fact
that in his preliminary hearings before
the magistrate he was held in the sum
of $4,000 bail, indicates that his pecu-
lations reached big sum. Harper has
had several hearings before the squire,
or rather his case was continued several
times upon his statements that he could
make good his shortage. But as he never
was able to make good this promise his
case has been sent to the superior court.
Harper came here from Baltimore about
two years ago, opened an office and it is
said did big insurance business. About
a year ago he purchased the Reybold
farm, at Reybold station, and has since
lived thereon, Up to within short time
he had many anxious creditors in this
city, but it is stated nearly all of these
personal claims have been settled.

QUESTIONABLE QUALIFICATIONS.
The fact that Mr.. Hutchinson was not
a freeholder at the time of his election,
his deed, according to Esquire Bratton,
not having been acknowledged until
December, makes it matter of grave
doubt whether he is duly qualified to
serve as member of the levy court.
This is question, however, for the de-
termination of the court.

A SEQUEL oFTHE BRIBERYsToRY.


Levy Courtman Hutchison and ex-Levy
Courtman Roberts Have a Set-to on
the Delaware Train.
A disgraceful rumpus occurred Tues
day afternoon on the train which
left here going south at 4.50 o'clock.
Several members and ex-members of
the levy court were aboard including
Levy Courtman David p. Hutchison
and ex-member Of the levy court Joseph
Roberts. The latter who was evidently
under the influence of liquor tainted
Mr. Hutchinson upon the now notorious
bribery story. An angry alteration
began which attracted almost every one
from the other carriages. Hutchinson
maddened by Roberts insinuations re-
minded the latter of his drunken condi-
ton and that that and his age alone pre-
vented his receiving chastisement.
Roberts then struck blow at Hutchi-
son when the latter felled the ex-levy
courtman to the ground with straight
left-hand blow. There was q riot by
this time and at Kirkwood Conductor
Bacon called Officer Hutchins to his
aid. The latter stood between the two
men keeping them apart all the way
from Mt. Pleasant to Middletown. This
was Mr. Roberts getting off place, but
so anxious was he to finish off Mr..
Hutchison that the train officials and
officer had the greatest difficulty in for
chilly removing him from the train.
