WOE OHANOBLLOR'S OPINION.
Agreements Good In Eqmity-Jacob
Kafes ct al. vs George Mcpherson.

SCccoUt 10 tfG jersey SiU NtNS.
TRENTON, August 2, 1S95.-vice Chan
cellor Bird, yesterday, filed an opinion in the
case Of Jacob Kafes and others VS.. George
W. Mcpherson, receiver, holding that a GER
tain portion of the unpaid balances due to
Thomas j. McGovern aud the city for the
removal of garbage, should be paid to the
complainants in the case, Jacob Kafes and
Chas. B. Walton.
Mcpherson, as receiver, claimed a prior
lien upon the imp aid balance by virtue of a
Judgment which Packer obtained against
McGovern under the contract. The COM
plainants claimed the moneys under a verbal
agreement entered into by them with Nc
Govern to the effect hat if the latter should
obtain the contract for the removal of the
garbage at the price named, viz, $1,000,
each was to furnish one-third of the teams,
carts, labor, etc, necessary for the perform
ance of the contract and each was to receive
one-third of the amount named in the con-
tract. McGoyern secured the contract.
The -complainants were paid their proper
Uion of the consideration, month by month,
with the exception of one months install
ment, no part of which has been paid, and
only a portion of a prior month which was
paid to McGovern.
The receiver insisted that the contract was
not binding even though acted upon, because
not in writing, and not binding upon the i'll
habitants of this city because they had no
notice thereof, and therefore not binding
upon the creditors of McGovern.
The Vice Chancellor says that he has never
understood it to be necessary in equity that
an agreement of such an interest should be
in writing. "When the principal considera-
tions appear, and especially when the agree
ment Of the parties has been acted upon, a
suit IN equity can be maintained upcn a YER
bal assignment. As between the parties to
this controversy the equities are wholly in
favor of compliments. They gave a full
and complete consideration for the moneys
which they now claim"
Linton Satterthwait was counsel for COM
plainant; w. Holt Apgar for defendant.

Special TO the Jersey City Neacs.
SOMERVILLE, August 2, 1S95.-An aged
colored woman f%amiliarly known in the
hamlet of South Branch as "Mammie Jack
son" had a thrilling experience and was
manned for life during the terrific thunder
storm which visited this section on Saturday
night. NANNY who is more than seventy
years of age and known the country around
for her remarkable vitality, started on
Saturday night, accompanied by her aged
husband, John. to walk from her cabin to
the village of Neshanic, a distance OF SIX
miles. :,
AT the village old John met a friend and
drank freely. "Mammy,o who is imbued
with strong temperance ideas, became EN-
ragged at this and started home alone. As
she passed out Of the village she was sudden
w confronted with a thunderstorm of such
violence that she became terrified and lost
her way. She turned from the road into the
fields and struggled against the storm until
she finally sank exhausted beneath a tree.
Then a streak of lightning cut the tree IN
two and stretched old NANNY prone on
the earth. Old John arrived home on Sun
day morning, but it was not until Monday
morning that his anxiety induced him to
make her absence known to the villagers. A
searching party found her helpless many
miles from home, still stretched upon the
ground beneath the shattered tree. Old
SMammyn is now in her cabin and is being
tenderly cared for by old John. Her arms
are burned and paralyzed and she has lost
the use of them for ever. 1t is Thought she
will recover.
Jacob Van Arsdale was driving a team
attached to a heavy hay wagon on the old
Coach Road, near Finderne, Tuesday night,
when his horses became frightened by what
was apparently a flash of lightning from a
clear sky. The horses gave a plunge and
Van Arsdale was pulled from his perch aud
fell to the ground. The horses tramped
upon him and the wheels of the wagon
passed over his body. He sustained a frae7
ture of the ankle and had several ribs
broken.
He lay by the roadside SO badly hurt that
he was unable to utter a cry. Several
vehicles passed him and he waived his hand
freely for help, but the passers-by thought
he was drunk and refused HIM assistance:
He was picked up late at night by Leopold
Geissman. He was brought here and taken
to the residence of his sister, Mrs. w. K.
Castor, of West End avenue.
