Cloth Goods Case.

The Maryland court of appeals handed
down an important decision last week
governing a number of cases that have
recently arisen in this state. About tw"
wears ago several men went through the
country selling cloth goods, which they
represented to be prize exhibits from the
worlds fair, ordered by an act of Congress
to be sold to the people of Maryland. AS
a matter of fact the goods were of Il very
Inferior quality but number of unsuspect-
ing farmers were easily gulled into buy
ing large lots of the cloth. Those who
were without cash money gave their notes
upon being assured that they would
remain in the hands of the cloth men, who
would personally present them for pay
ment when due. The sharpers, however,
Immediately Endorsed the securities and
passed them to a New York firm, suppos-
ell to he innocent purchasers, for value
and without notice. Finding that the
goods were almost worthless, the victims
would, of course, refuse payment of the
notes Wnen tntt DecdIlt uut, NHtTtuHoH
the New York firm would Immediately
enter suit and in due time obtain judg
ment.
The case of one Charles Scauherlish
living near Bladensburg, gave rise to the
decision referred to. He was sued in the
circuit court of this county, his defense
being fraud and the fact that only one
member of the New York firm had testi-
fed at the trial that the notes were re-
ceiycd by the firm forv lue before natur-
ty, and without notice, whereas the facts
in the case all went to show that the ven
doris of the goods and the holders of the
notes were in collision. The court dis
missed the case, whereupon it was taken
to the court of appeals and ably argued
by the attorneys of each side. Chief Judge
McSherry, in delivering the opinion of
the court, affirmed the decision of the
lower tribunal and declared that, though
one member of firm can testify as to
his own ignorance of fraud or collision he
cannot testify as to the firms ignorance
of such defenses Messrs James G. Rogers
and F. Snowden Hill were attorneys for
the appellee.

John II. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer !;
or more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John r. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour-
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
OF the campaign year was offered at
50 cents a year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 900 new subscribers the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
1t incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprlse in minor matters as well as
those of greater magnitude.
