A POINT At LAW.
Magistrate Sasse Gives Judgment In
Favor of Edward Vangel(ler

Magistrate Sasse yesterday gave judg-
ment in the case OF Edgar Vangelder VS..
Hathaway and Vandgelder and the Will
mington Wheel Company garnishees in
favor OF the plaintiff for s94.ls, his just
proportion Of bill due him by the de-
PENDANTS.
The case involved a rather fine point
of law in that the law Of Delaware plain
ly states that any assignment OF property
made to any one creditor or set OF credit
ors to the exclusion of other claims is in
valid and that the party making such as
Segment disbars himself from further
benefit ofthe insolvency laws of the state.
The firm OF Vangcldcr and Hathaway had
made such assignment TO the Wilmington
Wheel Co., and the money was garnlsh-
ed. The case may be carried into the
upper court.

J.. Cottingham ON Rcybold's beach, just

way toward getting at the schooner with
one machine.
The sight is a rare one for the Della

carecned and far up on the shore at low
water, and the dredgc must pillow u deep
ditch to her ample to float her at high
tide.
Nothing Of the kind was ever known
