All yesterday afternoons session of
court was consu med in hearing argu-
inent In the Gu 30 OF Owen j.. Hession,
VS.. the Mayor and Council OF Whining
ton.
As soon as the court convened at 9
ocloek, Levi g. Bird commenced on
behalf OF tho plaintiff and submitted
to the court number of authorities
bearing on tho case, to show that the
city was liable tor any damage that
might result frohn defective sewer.
lie commended that although the city
had been wal neil that the sewer was
not large enough to carry off the wator
several years prior to 1891. which was
shown by evidence, II had not needed
the warning and instead OF building u
parallel sewer ii built lateral sewers,
which emptied Into the Shipley run
sewer. lie also produced authorities
mat showed that the city was trespas-
sing on mans property when it
changed u stream from Its natural
course to carry pr water. and II a mans
property was damaged In consequence
oil the change the city could be held
responsible for damages. MIR. Bird ar
gued Tor several hours and cited n
number OF caseB.
just before the usual time OF adj
1ournment, Mr.. Bradford commenced
the opening argument for the defenss.
lie commended that no action of the
Street and Sewer Commission, which
Is provided FOR by law. can be subject
to damages, Unless the law Is uncon-
atitutional and that tie power given
tho Department. TO build sewers Is not
contrary to Tho constitution OF the
state. lie also said that 1t was the ex-
elusive power OF the department to
build sewers and II that power was
transferred to d courtit would result
in confusion, as all the streets, sewers,
ihlets. etc. Would nave to be placed
according to the opinions OF the diff
ferent juries.

concerning the disturbance which

the Twelfth ward, A. G. 10 Anderson,
VINO VINO was arrested ON charge Of In.
=, 1t has been stated that Charles
turner, colored, was the cause of the
trouble at the polls or the third dis,
tttct OF the Twelfth ward. The trouble
with Turner was that the Democratic
election officers did not read tho name
on mis- tax receipt, which was Henry
turner and not Charles Turner He
was registered as Charles Turner,
when was his name. Turner him
sell could not read. Had Turner'S
TAX receipt been read he could not have
voted.
n no trouble was over Adam Harris,
a respectable colored man, who owns
property in the Twelfth ward and who
always pays his own tax. When lie
presented his tax receipt Jas. Early,
one OF the election officers, placed the
receipt In his pocket and ordered Har.
rlss arrest. This Was in line with the
ADVICE given by Peter J. Ford, to have
arrested every colored man who came
to vote.

Court reconvenad at 10 O'Clock this
morning. with Chief Justice Lore and
Associate Judges Cullen and Houston
on the bench. Tie Jurors came In
looking thoroughly tired and weary
with the long drawn and tedious dam
| council OF Wilmington. This case ha @
been on Trial over week. and although
tho actual damage claimed 10 but

lance. II 1t Should be decided In favor
OF the plaintiff 1t will be the cause of
tne Trial OF number of other similar
SUITS against the city. angregatlng
nearly 100000 damages.
II on the other liand, the jury should
ma q. verdict for tho city on the
ground that it cannot ba hold for
damages, where the work OF the Street
anu sewer Com mission Is done accord
ing TO law, 1t will not only bar out
these suits, but all others OF like ma.
ture. 1t VIII therefore be seen that the
result Is of the greatest i'm portance to
the tax payers of this city. These
facts are the reason why SO many wilt
sosstubbornly contested.
AS soon as court opened, Mr.. Brad
ford resumed his argument for the
defense. lie cited number OF au thor
| tiles. some OF which tended to show
that city was not obliged to build
sewers, and IL 1t did. 1t could not DO
held responsible for any overflow that
might result from their use. lie also
claimed that this especially was tho
case where 1t was shown that the
sewer was built in u workmanlike
manner.
He cinimed that the city OF Whining
ton Is not liable for the inefficlency OF
sewer to carry Off the water, espe-
cially where the storm is OF phen ON
inal nature In building this sewer
the authorities did It In a work man
ship manner. and according to law.
therefore the city cannot DO held re-
sponsfble FOR any damage that may re.
suit from it's doing lawful act.
