CLAIMS AND COUNTER.CLAIMS.
Unusually Interesting Civil Suit Be-
fore Alderman Wright.

Alderman o. b. Wright was called
upon to adjudicate a rather compli-
Gated case yesterday.
At a recent term of common pleas
court Mrs. Ellen O'Donnell had a suit
against Patrick Golden. of the Sixth
ward, to recover Sl34. Mr.. Golden had
purchased a property from Peter j.
Mullarcy, heir of Thomas Mullaney,
deceased. Mrs. O'Donnell presented a
claim against the deceased and sooner
than have any trouble Mr.. Golden gave
$50 to settle il. Mrs. O'Donnell alleg-
ed, later, that this was only a partial
settlement and sued for $134 more. She
was defeated and compelled to pay the
costs.
When Peter Mullaney and his wife,
Elizabeth, who were witnesses for the
defense, went to get their witness fees
for the four days in which they were at
court they were told that Mr.. Scragg,
attorney for Golden. had collected and
signed a receipt for all the costs that
had been paid in for Mr.. Golden. The
Mullaneys sought to secure their pay
from Mr.. Scragg. They learned that
he had a claim against Mr.. Golden
and proposed to retain the costs in sat-
isfaction of his claim. Thereupon the
Mullaneys brought suit before Alder
man Wright to secure their fees from
Mr. Golden.
When the suit came up for hearing
yesterday Mr.. Golden presented as an
offset to the IS a claim of $40 against
the Mullaneys for legal advice, which
Mr.. Scragg had assigned to him under
date of March 1, 1895.
The alderman ruled out the offset
and gave judgment in favor of the
plaintiffs. Hon. NJ +. Mcdonald ap-
peared for the plaintiffs and Robert
j. Herman was attorney for Mr.. Golden.

The Cubvn Sit uation.

The special message on the
Cuban situation from the Pres
ident to Congress was delivered
to both houses Monday and at
once was referred to the foreign
affairs committee of each
house. The message of the
President had taken the stand
for intervention in Cuban af-
fairs but not recognition of the
insurgent government as the
proper government for Cuba.
The majority of the Senate
while taking more advanced
stand for intervention, sus-
tanned the President. A strong
minority, mostly Democrats but
led by Foraker, Republican, of
Ohio, were for immediate rec
ognition of the government of
the Cuban insurgents, other
ways they concurred in the
majority report. The Senate
resolution was introduced by
Senator Davis and is much
more to the point than the res
olution which passed the house
the day preaching. The Pres
ident threatens to veto any
measure recognizing the pres
ent insurgent government
and thus the situation stands
by latest kilograms.
