SICK BENEFITS.
A Supreme Court Decision That Con-
Germs Odd Fellows.

A Supreme Court Decision That Con-
Germs Odd Fellows.
A decision of interest to mem bers of the
order of Odd Fellows was rendered by
the Supreme Court on Saturday in the
suit OF Max Levy against Magnolia
Lodge, No. 20, of San Francisco. Levy
was expelled from the lodge for contempt.
He refused to appear and show cause
why he should not be deprived of sick
benefits, and instead brought a suit for
the money which he claimed to be
due. At the instance of Levy, Superior
Judge Seawell issued writ of mandate
directing the lodge to restore Levy to
mem bership. This decision the Supreme
Court has now reversed.
The Supreme Court held that Levy
should have stood trial on the charge of
drawing sick benefits improperly. His
suit to recover benefits is said to have
been in plain violation of valid laws of
the lodge which deprived him of the
right to recover such benefits in any of
the courts of the State.
1t WAS held, moreover, that as the lodge
had provided remedy for the grievance
complained of and he had not availed
himself OF that remedy, pleading of such
fact would have constituted a perfect de-
Tense to any suit in the State courts.

for new trial and desired time in which
to prepare himself for that by reading
over aud familiarizing himself with some
of the evidence in the case.
District Attorney Ryan did not object
to the postponement of sentence, and it
was deferred until Tuesday morning at
10 o. clock.

WAITED SIXTY YEARS TO WED.-A
romance involving strange devotion
is concealed behind the marriage of
James Ewing and Margaret Christy,
which took place at Sharon, Pa, on
Friday. He is S5 years old and the
bride just four score. Sixty years ago
these two were in love, but Ewing,
then strong young man of 25, hesi-
tated to take his sweetheart for wife,
fearing he could not properly support
her. They determined to wait few
years or until they had money enough
to keep house with. The years went
by rapidly, and the lovers did not seem
to think they could afford to get mar
ried. Ewing bought a farm up in
Crawford county, and he has lived
there ever since. In the meantime the
two made solemn VOW that as soon
as they possessed the necessary funds
they would become husband and wife,
After waiting just 60 years, each re-
naming true to the pledge, they Fri
day went to Justice Snodgrass, of
Jamestown, and were welded. Ewing
raised the mortgage on his farm on the
day of marriage.

GEN. coRsEs GOODNESS.
RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 2, 1895

TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
1t was April 1, 1866. The sun was
setting and the shades of evening were
gathering thick and fast. The battle OF
Five Forks, Va, had been fought, and
lost to US. After hours of hard fighting
our lines had been broken and our
left flank turned by overwhelming
numbers, and, of course, there was
much disorder and confusion. Early in
the day three guns of the Crenshaw
Battery. this city, of which I was a
member, were placed in position on the
right Of our lines, supported by Corse's
Brigade of infantry. The remaining
gun, under command of Lieutenant E.
G. Hollis (as brave a soldier as ever
drew sabre), was placed in position at
the forks of the road, where some of
the hardest of the fighting was done,
and where the colonel of our battalion,
the gallant, the intrepid willie" Pc
gram, was mortally wounded. In front
of our battery and Corse's Brigade the
enemy's cavalry, or mounted infantry,
were massed. They charged us several
times, but were repulsed each time
with considerable loss to them.
After our lines on the left of us had
given way the retreat began, and soon
the woods were full of retiring men,
the bullets were flying thick in our
rear. The order came to timber up the
guns. This was quickly done, and we
drew out and formed column, and
Corse's Brigade marched up alongside
of US in full view ofthe enemy's cavalry,
who were drawn up in line of battle,
watching our every movement.
I, being the lead-driyer of the first
gun, was at the head of the first column,
and, orders being given to move, start
ed my horses at a moderate walk. Soon
those in the rear began urging me
to drive faster, or else get out of the
way. I heard voice at my side say,
"For Gods sake, don't let those horses
trotn Turning my head, I found the
speaker to be a man wearing the in
sigma of a brigadier.general, who said
to me, "Don't let your horses
60 out of q walk, for much de-
pends on you" l replled NO,
General, will not, if get shot for it.
Turning to his men, who were crowding
up, he spoke in rirg ng tones: Steady
men! Steady men! Remember you
are Virginians!n !n Those words sent a
thrill through my bosom, for I, too, re-
membered that I was q Virginian.
They aroused all my boyish pride, and
I would as soon have died there and
then as to have disobeyed his request.
was afterwards told that the man
was Montgomery D. Corse, and / have
often thought, aud I believe to-day,
that the GOODNESS, tact and bravery OF
General Corse and the gallant officers
of his brigade, displayed on that .occa-
sion, saved that portion of our army
from serious disaster; for had the ar
tillery left the field on a run we may
well imagine what would have been
the effect on the infantry.
