Washington County Court.

NELLIE j. KELLIE V. II. A. RUGG This
was an action on the case for malicious
prosecution. The plaintiff introduced evil
dence tending to show that on the 2Sth of
December, 1891, defendant caused her to be
arrested upon a complaint charging her with
defrauding a hotel. The plaintiff intro
duced evidence to show that in making this
complaint the defendant was actuated by
malice, and had been advised by counsel
that such proceeding could not be main
tanned. The defendants evidence tended
to show that defendant had an unpaid board
bill against plaintiff, and that he was ad-
vised by counsel that a complaint before the
town grand juror of Barre for defrauding
his hotel was the only method by which he
could collect said board bill. The defeRd-
ant also introduced evidence to show that
the arrest of the plaintiff would not in any
way iDJure her character. The evidence of
the defendant plainly contradcted the evil
dence. of the plaintiff, but the jury found
that the plaintiff had suffered damage in
the sum of SSl.25. The dd ddmnun was
$1,000. Lord & Boynton, Barney g. Hoar
for plaintiff; Martin & Slack and Lanson
for the defendant.
|. II. p RowELL V. ESTATE OF ERAsTUs
CAMP.-This case was an appeal from the
commissioners on the Camp estate, who dis
allowed a note dated September 8, 1868 for
800. The question involved in this case
was as to whether the note had been re-
newed within six years. The plaintiff in
troduced evidence to show thai two pay
ments had been made on said note within the
time required by the statute of limitations.
The plaintiff claimed, and produced wit
nesses to show, that L. Camp made pay
ment on the note June II, 1888, and one
August 26, 1891. Both of these endorse
ments were in the handwriting of the plain
tiff. The defendant introduced evidence
tending to show that f. Camp was not pces-
ent at the house of plaintiff at the date last
mentioned, and that he was physically un-
able to have been present as claimed by
plaintiff. Verdict for plaintiff to recover

ABoU Ben MUsHBACH.-A test case
under the Mushbach gambling act of
the last Legislature has just been pass.
ed upon by our Court of Appeals and
the case reversed and sent back to the
lower court. The decision is &c that
extent in favor of the sporting people
who appealed from the judgment Of
fine and imprisonment imposed below.
The opinion of the court was written
by Judge Lewis and the pith of it is
found in the following paragraph,
whch will be read with interest:
"A bet is wager between two or
more persons. 1t involves concur
renee of wills; that is, there must be
an offer to bet on one side and accept
ed on the other. When the offer is &C
copied, and not before, the betting bca
comes complete. A bet, like an ord"
nary contract, may be made by tele,
graph, and when an offer to bet Is ac-
ccpted by telegraph the acceptance, as
in the case of contract, takes effect
when the message OF acceptance is de-
livered to the telegraph company for
Transmission, and not when received
by the other party. If, therefore, an
offer to bet is telegraphed by a person
in this city to another in New York
and the latte.' accepts by telegraph,
the betting is done not in Richmond,
but in New York, because the offer be,
ing accepted there takes effect there.
1t is q somewhat novel proposition
that if man in Alexandria telegraphs
to a man in New York offering to bet a
hundred dollars on given thing and
the bet is accepted by telegraph, the
bet is made in New York, not in Alex
andria, but that seems to be the view
held by majority of the Supreme
Court judges. Mushbach will have to
try again if he is really lone that loves
his fellow men," The Legislature will
have to mend the law, through which
the Supreme Court has thrust its ad,
verse foot.-NoTtolk Landmark.

SUICIDE.-This morning about fifteen
minutes after nine o'clock a man, clad
in the garb of a workingman and wear
inv overalls, entered the saloon of Mr..
Richard Murphy, at the corner of Pitt
and Princess streets, and asked the pro-
nrietor if he could go into the yard in
Inc rear ofthe premises. After an alb
-apre of some ten minutes, the stranger
returned, stopped in the room in rear
of the saloon, and asked when the
train on the w & 0. r. r. would
leave. He then seated himself in a
chair and in few minutes thereafter
Mr. Murphy entered when the man arose
and staggered about. Murphy paced
him in a bed in the room, and then dis
covered bottle in tie mans hand
which. from the label thereon, contain
ri laudanum. Murphy at once tele-
phoned to the police station, and Off
Ger Davis, who responded, summoned
Dr. Purvis. The doctor arrived
promptly at the house and administer
I'll such treatment as the case required,
bpt, rs much time had elapsed since the
fatal dose had been taken, all efforts to
save the life of the man were unavail-
ing and he died about l o'clock. The
reporter for the Gazette visited the
scene of the suicide and learned the
name of the self destroyer was James
Pearson, native and resident of Oak
Hill. FauUuier county, where he leaves
q wife (who was a Miss Weaver) and
.iv children. Pearson appeared to be
about 10 years of age, was a carpenter
by trade. and has recently been in the
employ of the r. & d. II. r. Co. near
Leesburg. He went to his home in
Fauouier few days since and
returned to this city yesterday.
He met friends here and was drinking
quite freely, and was invited by Mr..
Max. Bergman IAN old acquaintance,
to spend the night with him at his
home, No. go Cameron street. Pear
son awokc his friend this morning
about 5 O'Clock and left the house
alone, after asking Mr.. Bergman to
meet him later in the day. 1t appears
that he soon thereafter entered the
drug store of Messrs. w. +. Creighton q
Co. where he purchased four ounces OF
Iaudanum, and when the bottle was
found on him only half ounce Of the
drug remained therein. When he
purchased the drug this morning he
was asked for what purpose he intend
ed using it and gave entirely satistac-
tory replies. From what could be
learned, Pearson was not hard drink
er, but was addicted to periodical
sprees. He did not appear to be in
any way respondent when he left Mr..
bergman this morning, and had some
little money with him. AS yet, no
cause can be assigned for his suicide.

EXHIBITION OF A FIRE ESCAPE

EXHIBITION OF A FIRE ESCAPE
Quite crowd gathered in front of Pea
body school building about noon to-day
to witness the practical testing of the
Key inclined plane fire escape. The
contrivance is in the nature of can
vas shute and not unlike what the air
funnel of a ship would be split longi-
tudinally. The escape is hung by hooks
to the window of a burning building
and the escaping inmates get into it
and slide down. Two or three men,
in the meantime, have hold on the end
reaching the ground and as the passen-
ger nears the earth they break the force
of the descent by raising the canvas.
Men and boys were placed in the es-
cape during the demonstration Of its
merits to-day, and were brought to the
pavement successfully.
