Mr.. Marten has been in Bennington since
September, 1885, and during that period
has endeared himself to many people.
He is greatly respected outside his i'm
mediate congregation, all of whom join
in COOK wishes for his welfare in the new
field of labor We are glad the call com
prehends an increase Of salary. Mr..
Marten is working pastor and in Ash
bury Park he will have much more eX-
tended field, covering territory of some
1000 inhabitants. We learn that Mr..
Marten expects TO begin work with his
new church early in December The
BANNER regrets to have him leave Ben

A HEARING has been in progress this
week at Rutland, before L. NJ. Reed re-
fierce in the United States Circuit Court.
The matter grows out of case brought
by Judge Mason in behalf of Savage and
Danforth against William Foster, Jr.,
one of the stock holders of the n. Y. r.
& NJ. R'y. who obtained judgment for
about $4,000 After Judgment was oh.
tanned Danforth the surviving partner of
Savage & Danforth, settled the judg-
ment and claim with defendant Foster,
without the knowledge of Attorney Ma
son and without having paid the attor-
ney's bill. The hearing at Rutland was
for the purpose of collecting the attOr-
ney's bills of Messrs. Mason, Wild and
Sheldon against the defendant. The
cause is continued for further hearing to
November 9th. The point of interest
in the case is the fact that if the plain
tiff and defendant in an action settle a
case after judgment for the plaintiff
and with notice of the claim for services,
the plaintiffs attorney may recover his
bill of either the plaintiff or defendant.
This law is well understood in the pro-
fessiou but not generally known to the
public.
