Mr.. Isaac Newman. deputy collector of in

denly at 3 o'clock yesterday morning
in his ffty-second year at his home.

to 10 o'clock he showed symptoms OF para
lysis. However be retained consciousness
until the last moment. He died quietly sur
rounded by his wife and five children.
AS "A Southern soldier blr. Newman had no
superior il point of bravery or daring. At
the outbreak of the war Mr. Newman was
living in New Orleans.
When Wise's command was captured at
Roanoke Island Mr.. Newman was one OF the
few who escaped. lie not only made his way
oil of the island, but succeeded IN taking with
him his musket and accOutrements. When
he discovered that the command had 70 sur
render, and hat capture was inevitable, tue
daring young soldier secured "A small row
boat and made his way across tue sound 10
land. ,
During the war Mr.. Newman was assigned
10 the hazardous duty of a scout, a position
lie filled with signal ability. No man IN
Nise's BRIGADE was better known thar he.
He had the reputation, and deservedly' OF
being one of the most daring members 81 the

After the war Mr.. Newman followed various
mercantile pursuits in this city, and later on

TO commend in Mr.. Russells acting. lie Is a
whO.eslme. clean. rs well as Il very droll

of suggestions without losing Zest. and That IL

facts in the sphere of humOr that Mr. husseii

In the case Of Hoffman and others against
the Columbia Iron Company the argument
was concluded.
The Court adopted a rule making three reg
ular terms "A year at Richmond. as follows.
The first Tuesday IN February. the fourth
Tuesday in May and the second Tuesday in
October. This is an important ruling. as
the law only requires the court TO
hold one session IN Richmond and
the others might have been held
elsewhere. This - a compliment 10 Mr..
Henry L. Meloney. the clerk, ~ il is most
likely that the admirable arrangements and
conduct OF the court here decided the Hon.

The Chief Justice and Judge Morris left the
city last evening. but the court will continue
to-day with Juages Bond and Hughes sitting.

side of Savage. Beverage ~ Co.'S place. on
Cary street, the stocks Of goods carried cut
during the ire yesterday morning. The major
portion f Messrs. Harvey Blair Il Co.'S
stock was removed, and before 1t could be
returned yesterday the water, which had
made such sad havoc. had TO be swept
and bailed from the building. This was
done. and in q few days the business will take
on its accustomed appearance. Holes broken
in the roof let water in volumes into the
house. and by that the stock was damaged.
The firm calculate their loss at $4,000 fully
covered by insurance. The Richmond Flour
Company also suffered at the hands of the
liquid element, but a couple of thousand will
cover their loss. They are also insured.
The stock of Savage, Beveridge ~ Co. was
completely destroyed. and the building they
occupied was seriously damaged. The firms
losses are not completely covered by Insu-
rance. but the loss on the building is covered.
The firm have reopened at No. 1913 east Cary
