Saturday evening, the jury in the case OF Levi
II Miller versus the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. rendered a verdict for the plaintiff
for the damage claimed aud interest, aggre
eating 81, 49I.49. The case was one Of great
interest, and attracted great deal of atten

Western Maryland Railroad at Double Pipe
Greek. and he aud his two sons carried on a
general store there, and dealt in grain. An

road Company hearing that Holloway Broth
ers were about to assign, which they did in a
few days, received from them an order for
the two carloads of grain in payment of u
freight bill which Holloway Brothers owed
them. The railroad company claimed that
they had Just telegraphed to ask who the grain
was waybilIed to, and received in answer that
it was FOR Holloway Brothers. Miller claimed
that no such answer had been sent by his
authority, and Immediately instituted suit
against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
