given at the trial. was that McCully

former law partner, r. NJ. Audlemah,
was compelled to take his leave ana
seek other quarters. He managed 10
secure desk room in the Office OF Al
tornev Joe Elson. He had no sooner
moved into his new quarters than he
began to feel very much at nome,
and hung his law shingle out Just be-
low Elson's where it could get the full
breath of the breezes. Elson objected
TO McCully fixing himself permanently
on the premises and after a dispute
he ordered McCully out. This occurred
Yesterday about noon. McCully re-
fused to go out. Elson called Con-
stable Bennett, who was in the vicln-
ity. and directed him to take McCully
out. Bennett did so and led McCully
gently out by the arm. McCully then
had Bennett arrested for assault.
The hearing of the case lasted
couple of hours Mahon & McLaugh-
lin appeared as attorneys for McCully
and argued that if Elson had wanted
TO put McCully out he should have
had recourse to legal process OF
eiectment. Squire Fitzpatrick dis
missed the constable, after telling him
he had done wrong, and after telling
Elson that he had used Bennett as
tool"

appealed the case to the Circuit Court,
which affirmed the decision of the JUS
tice. The defendant again appealed to the
Supreme Court. and the mandate re-
ceivcd by Clerk Heuuing yesterday affirm
cd the decision of the Court below, and
Nj Meyers will finally have to pay the
fine and The very heavy costs. Hereafter
those who sell oleomargarine in the guise
of butter Will bee subject TO Indictment
and heavy penalties. The object of the
law is not TO prevent the sale of oleo-
margarine and other like products, but to
compel them TO be- sold on their merits.
People who are old-fashioned enough to
want butter want 20 be- sure of what they
are getting. but as matters have been for
several years past, no man knows. when
ne goes for pound Of butter, whether
hc receives butter or not. for the imitd-

A GOOD IDEA.

President George Hook, of the Ger
mania Half-Dollar Savings Bank has
received and is distributing to appli-
cants a large number of handsome

thirteen months and while on our way

scurvy. Cap'n Parker shaped away for a
Brazilian port, and when we got there he
shipped what oil we had home. and fitted ont
for a trip to the African coast, whore we had
good luck. and slowed away 500 barrels of oil.
He was n lucky skipper, and he held the record for
having killed more whales with a hand harpoon
than any other man in New Bedford. He had
been around the Horn seven times. doubled tho
Cape of Good Hope five times, and sailed three
times around the world. At ono time Cap'n

Cap'n Walker was q daredevil, or he never

he sailed for Manila and sent the oil to London.
Talk about luck! That trin on the rotten old

After leaving Manila Cap'n Walker cruise6 In
