later went to Wheeling and entered the

excellent compositor. He was about 81

his death will be heard with sadness.
Under the instructions of the Wheel

An Interesting Suit.

The suit OF j. Y. Patterson against
the City of Martins Ferry, which began
on Tuesday, and is in hands of the jury
at the hour of going to press, has at
tracted considerable attention. The suit
is for $500 dam lges, alleged to have
been incurred by his horse running away
owing to the bad condition of the
streets, and throwing him out, besides
breaking his buggy and killing the horse
He sustained broken jaw and other in
juries. The defense set up the plea
that the plaintiff was intoxicated, and
unable to exercise common care and
prudence in driving, and that, being in
such condition, he was guilty of con-
tributary negligence. The post-office
fight down there has also been dragged
into the case, Mr. Patterson being can
didate, and J. w. Terrill, the leading
witness for, the prosecution. being an
other candidate.
