In the Berkeley circuit court, in
the suit of ex-Sheriff Miller against
in. Wisner, on Monday, Judgment
was entered for the defendant, plain
tiff to pay the costs. This case has
excited considerable interest. Miller
was late sheriff of Berkeley county
and attached goods of Wisner to the
amount of 81, 200 for taxes. To offset
this, Wisner produced counter claim
against Miller for professional services
and gave security for forthcoming
bond. The matter has been argued
in the court for several terms and was
disposed of Monday with the above
result
The house of T. H. Willard, keeper
of the bridge crossing the Potomac riv-
err at Brunswick, was forcibly entered
by three masked men last Saturday

Let the war 90 on !

JUST as was anticipated, the Senate
Committee on elections has decided to
unseat Mr.. Daniel Webster Shatfer and
give his place to Mr.. Henry Clay Getz-
endanner. The case went to the COM
mittee the first of the week. Mr..
Getzendanner claimed that Mr.. Shat
fer's name had been illegally placed
on the ticket of the gold standard Dem
oerats at the late election, and that
those votes should not therefore be
counted. The committee, which stood
four Republicans to one Democrat,
voted in favor of seating Mr.. Getzen-
danner, declining to take evidence in
the case. The report was made to the
Senate yesterday, but action went over
until today, when the State Senate
will undoubtedly adopt the commit
tees report. Mr.. Shafer was repre-
sented before the committee by Mr.,
Geo. E. Price, while Mr.. ]. w. Van
devoorth was council for Mr.. Getzen-
danner.

THE reformers in politics are not
doing much this year. Quay. victory
over his opponents in Pennsylvania
few weeks ago was sweeping one,
but Boss Tom Plat has just scored a
still more remarkable success in New
York. Joseph H. ChOate, the distin-
guished lawyer, had the temerity to
contest with Mr.. Platt for the United
States Senate, and succeeded in get
ting the backing of a large proportion
of the responsibility Of his party.
When it came to practical politics,
however, these gentlemen were not in
it, for Mr.. Plat simply passed the
word among his followers and they
gave him 147 votes to Choates Z.
Mr.. Platt succeeds Senator David B.
Hill.
