DIu she STEP OR TRIP ?
This Question Prevented a Trial in
an Important Damage Suit
This Morning.

Contrary to even the expectation of
Council, the suit of Luther W. Ewingl vs..
the Mayor and Council OF Wilmington
did not come up in Superior court this
morning. The suit Is brought in the
name Of Luther Ewing, nob because he
was injured by an act of neglect On the
part of the city, but because IL Is the
proper proceeding when wife Is Injured.
Mrs, Sidney Ewing either stepped or
trlpped into a gutter on Ninth street be-
tween Shipley and Orange streets, the
plate over which had been removed by
some one or ut least this Is what Lilburn
Chandler, counsel for the plaintiff con-
tends, and for the injuries received seeks
damages to the amount of $4,000.
The question as whether Mrs. Ewing
stepped or tripped into the sewer Is the
one which presented the case from going
to trial this morning Elk City Solicitor
George A. EElllott andl Horace Greeley
Knowles moved that the pleading OF the
plaintiff be altered so as to read stepped
into the gutter.
Mr.. Chandler consented and Immediate.
ly followed his consent with the presenta.
tian of an amended MARI which counsel
on the other hand objected to because OF a
change in the issue OF the case.
The motion, in more general terms, was
one to generally amend which the court
said no had a right to do
The matter therefore went over until
this afternoon when it Is expected the case
will be gottdh under way Mrs Ewingre-
ceived her injuries on October IL, 1884
FOR AND AGAINST A SET OFF.
Tho case Of White Brothers d. b. 4. vs.
John w. Banks, p. b. r. caused some ar
gument between William G ,Smalley and
Josiah Marvel. Some time ago Banks
brought action before magistrate and OBJ
tained Judgment in tho amount Of S45. 46
against White Brothers, They appealed
because Banks was indebted to them and
wanted the Judgment to act as set Off
for that debt. This was objected to be-
cause the debt had been contracted with
James +. White and Bother. Mr.. Marvel
recognized the question as ono purely Of
set off and as Judgment had been obtain
cd against White and Brother contenhed
that it was proper and therefore moved for
o confirmation of tho former dccrcc.
The court reserved its answer until to-
morrow morning.

COMMON PLAIN RON.
1t is Beat for Chiidres or Adau,,s.

Natural grains. meat and fruit will
make good blood II the digestive machin-
CRY of the body Is not interfered with
The blood when first made goes into the
arteries and Is of a bright red color. After
it has been used some in supplying the
body, it is carried into tho veins and Is
thcie a dark red or purple color. Blood
contains the elements to nourish aud
build up the body, such as iron, soda,
lime, albumen, etc, etc.
When tho powers Of the stomach and
the bowels are reduced by lack of vitality
or by putting coffee and Tea into the
stomach the processes which nature goes
through with to change the food into rich,
red blood are seriously intorferod with.
fla man could see what wet blanket"
he put over his hard working friend the
stomach, by putting in coffee, whiskey or
tobacco, whom 1t was honestly toiling
away to do its work we'll, he would never
repeat the outrage and injustice. 1t is
like striking your friend Vicious blow
when he Is delying away for you, with
might and main. Don't do II. One feels
more respect for himself when he acts the
man and permits no form Of abuse to
strHngle and spoil the beautiful work be-
ing done for him In the human body. No
sort of fun on earth Ia equal to the fun OF
being thoroughly well.
II one wants pupgent, piquant hot
drink for breakfast, lunch or dinner, it
can be had in Postum, tho health coffee.
1t is made wholly Of grains by the Postum
Cereal Company Limited Of Battle Creek,
Mich. 1t can DO truely said, 1T makes
red blood" 1t brows the deep seal brown
color of Mocha; Ii creams to the rich
golden brown of Java, and has an aroma
and taste that make man thankful that
someone has at last made combination
of the grains that gives such a delicious
hot drink that one can readily leave off
the coffee which has been hurting more
than one likes to think Of.
Medicines are poor clutches. The only
safety Is to Use food and drink that tho
Creator intended for man, and when this
is done the diseases and sick spells gradu-
ally disappear.
Common sense is quite uncommon ex-
cept with those who give themselves u
shaking now and then and look plainly at
what thoy are doing. II u person knows
coffee don't hur6 him. let him stick to it
until he does, then such people thoroughly
appreciate Postum Grocers and drug.
gists testify to large sales and the steady
use Of those who once try it, is evidence of
its taking ways.
just as good as Postum Cereal are

RECORDER SPARKS, Of Nashville, ere
ated considerable amusement at the ex-
pense Of a negro man and his wife who
were before him the other morning on
the charge Of quarrelng and Of making
q disturbance in the public streets. No
offense was proved, but Judge Sparks,
with a twinkle in his eye, announced
to the defendants that they would have
to kiss and make up or take q fine OF
ten dollars. The erstwhile belligerent
couple looked sheepish, and the crowd
set up hilarious laugh, but when the
Judge again put on his official aspect
and announced to them that they would
have only three minutes in which to de-
eide which Of the penalties they would
accept, the couple looked lovingly at
each other and ended the matter with
a loud, prolonged and resoundlng
smack.
