AN IMPORTANT DE0IsIoN.-Judge
Faulkner has lately rendered de-
cision that is of utmost Importance
to magistrates. 1t was in the case
of John G. Wiltshire vs.. Rein
Smith. We give the syllabus, as
follows
1st-That provision of Section
ia, Chapter so, of the Code requir-
ing judgment to be entered by JUS
tees within twenty-four hours after
the trial, is mandatory.
2d-After the trial means after
the evidence has all been heard, and
the attorneys, if any have been en-
ployed in the case, have finished
their arguments before the justice.
3d-The judgment must be enter
ed within the time prescribed by
law, otherwise it is a nullity.
4th-In this case Judgment hay,
ing been entered four days after the
trial, the case having been submit
ted to the justice on the 28th of De-
cember and judgment entered on the
4th Of January Cnot having been
done within the time prescribed by
law, appellants motion to dismiss
the appeal is sustained, and appeal
dismissed, without costs and with
out prejudice.
Many magistrates have been in the
habit of making their decision and
not entering them of record in the
required time, and on this point the
case went to Judge Faulkner on an
appeal.
+ Judge Faulkner has also made
another decision as to practice be-
fore justices, to the effect that all
pleadings must be made up in the
lower court before trial, 80 that in
the event of an appeal the upper
court will have no trouble in deter
mining the status of the case. This
is our recollection Of the decision
which also embraced other points.

CITY ELECTION
For Mayor and Oounoilmen.

The city election which came off
last Monday, resulted in defeat for
the republicans, only two council
men being elected. This however.
gives them majority of one in the
council, the vote there now standing
five republicans to four democrats.
A large vote was polled, and while
the result shows that there were
many independent votes, yet there
were more independent republicans
who voted the straight democratic
ticket than there were vice versa.
Mr.. Evans made good run, but
the result showed that the heavy
personal work done by DR.. Hen
shaw, his opponent, had a telling eff
feet. The other republican candi-
dates have made an excellent record
III this fght, and although the defeat
was theirs, they went down with col
ors flying. Martinsburg, from a po-
litical point of view, is closely divid-
ed, and the deciding votes were cast
by those who disregarded politics
altogether and voted irrespective of
party affiliations. The following is

jolly Asiatic Merchants.

A large number of the merchants IL
gagged in trade gave me one day a sump-
tuous feast III fruit garden short dis
lance outside Yarkand. Few people
know the way to enjoy life and make
themselves comfortable better than
these merchants. We first of all sat
about under the shade Of the trees, while
huge lunches Of grapes and delicious
melons and peaches were freshly plucked
and brought to us to eat Then dinner
was announced, and after water for
washing the hands had been passed
round, we set to eat dish after dish Of
''pillaos" and stews, all beautifully
cooked, and we ended up with pud
ding made Of whipped egg and sugar
and some other ingredients, which it
would be hard to beat anywhere. All
the time the merchants were chatting
away among themselves and were as
gay and talkative as Frenchmen. You
could scarcely wish for better company
or more genial hosts.
On the way home we had races, each
merchant trying to make out that his
own horse was better than the others.
These men are a curious mixture Of
eastern gravity and Politeness and boy
ISL spirits and fun. They will come to
call on you and talk away with the
greatest solemnity and Difference. You
meet them next day out for a burst Of
enjoyment, and every sign Of gravity Is
thrown away and they are as free and
natural and full Of life as children. -

The travelling public will watch
with interest the tests which will be
made of the new hot water motor, as
applied to railroad trains. If all the
inventor claims is true, the power
of superheated water will prove a
formidable rival to electricity. Re-
duced cost of operation, which seems
bound to come whether electricity
hot water or compressed air is
adopted, means cheaper rates OF
transportation, and the subject is OF
interest to every individual.
