JUDGE BIDDLE,of Common Pleas Court
No. /, Philadelphia, on Wednesday, made
an order con tinuing until next Saturday
the preliminary five days injunction
granted in the case of Charles Harris, by
his next friend, Sarah d. McPhial, against
the Fidelity Insurance Trust and Safe De-
post Company and Samuel W. Hail. The
action was brought to have the Fidelity
Company restrained from transferring to
Mr.. Hall S32, 900 in water! r!bonds,belougin
to Mr.. Harris. The story is a sensational
one. Mr.. Harris, who is oyer 81 years
old and lives in Dover is worth about
$500, ooo,is practically upon his deathbed
and is in such physical aud mental con-
ditioH, it was alleged, that his valet, Chas.
Butler, had gained great influence over
him aud caused him to change his will,
leaving the greater part of his fortune
under Buffers control. These allega-
tons are made by Mrs. McPhial, Mr..
Harris's niece and heir, who claims that
Butler has influenced Mr.. Harris to the
OF the latter's relatives.
About a week ago Mrs. McPhial alleges
Butler procured an agreement and war
rant of attorney from Mr.. Harris direct
ing the Fidelity Company to transfer to
Mr.. Hall the water bonds and giving Hall
access to the vault in the Fidelity Com
pany's Banking Institution. where the |
greater part of Mr.. Harris's securities are
deposited. It is alleged that these papers
were procured from Mr.. Harris by Butler |
at 4 O'Clock i'll the morning by falsehood |
and force, aud by keeping the old gentle
man under the influence of liquor. The |
Fidelity Company notified Mrs McPhial
that they would pay the securities to Mr..
Hall last Saturday unless restrained by |
Injunction. This bill in equity was then
fled and preliminary FIVE days injunc-
ion issued last Friday afternoon.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
an the organs OF the body are under the cOn-
troll or the nerve centers located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
ueranged the organs which they supply with
nerve tiuid are also deranged When 10 is re-
membered that a serious Injury TO the spinal
cord Will cause paralysis OF the body below
the injured point because the nerve force IS
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it viii be understood how
The arrangement OF the nerve centers will
cause the derangement Of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
IWO-thirds OF chronic diseases are due to
the Imperfect action OF the nerve ceuters at
the base OF the brain, not from a derange-
ment primarily originating I'm the organ It.

over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries In cOnnec tiOn with 10, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement and that the ordinary methods OF
treatment are wrong. All headache, diZZi-

| EDWARD MITCHELL one Of the most
desperate aud daring black thieves and
rascals of this community, is in a Mary
/ land Jail, charged with burglary. For six
months the officers have been trying to
catch this rascal. On Saturday night he
was located and captured at a den near
Magnolia by Officer Dickerson and landed
in Jail at Denton just as the sun rose on
Sunday morning. There is little doubt
of his guilt Of the burglary at Burrsville,
Md, and there is little doubt of his guilt
of many other burglaries at other points.
We trust the Maryland authorities have
evidence enough against him to send him
to prison for many years to come. He is
dangerous character and should be
given the full extent OF the law, when ev-
idence enough Of his guilt is at hand.
Milford is we'll rid Of him and there are
others here who are equally as bad and
who are liable at any moment to be
picked up on a similar charge. This,
town is aroused and the thieves here con-
gregated are in great danger. We would
advise them to get out at once as the Off
GERS of the law are on their track aud it
is only matter of a short time when they
will be discovered aud proven guilty.
The chicken thieves and the burglars too
are going to be convicted when the evil
dence is sufficient, but when this is only
of a strong circumstantial nature, not |
positive enough TO convict in our courts, |
the people will make things so unpleas |
ant that another community will prove |
much more congenial for these sly ras-
Gals. Get out.

We are not III the business of catching
thieves but there is something or some
body wrong when these depredations
occur so often and nobody caught and
punished 1t is believed that certain
white man is at the head of an organized
gang of thieves operating in this commu
nifty and that all the other members of
the gang are colored men. Many things
have led to this belief and if the officers
of the law want to catch them they ought
to watch the every movement of this
white chief of the gang and when they
catch him surely an example should be
made of him. A word to the bright and
officer should be sufficient to
cause him to act intelligently.
