MIR. EyENsEN NON-sUITED.
Judge Lamb Throws the case out "a
Court--Other Matters.

In the case OF Christian Evensen, OF
this city. against p. ]. Morris. w. H.
Hoffheimer, J. c. Hoffheimer, and
Thomas L. Dornin. Chief Of Police, all
of Norfolk, which had occupied Judge
Lamb and a jury in the Law and Equity
Court for two days, the plaintin yester-
day suffered a non-suit.
The case, II will be remembered, grew
out OF the arrest of the plaintiff on De-
cember 1, 1897, on a warrant sworn out
and executed by defendants, charging
Mr.. Evensen with the larceny Of piano
and household goods, which were mort
gagged to w. H. Hoffheimer. The charge
was dismissed by the Police Justice OF
Norfolk, and Mr.. Evensen Instituted suit
for $4,000 damages for false imprison-
ment.
II was brought out in the evidence yes
terday that the plaintiff had compro-
missed with ]. c. Hoffheimer, one or the
defendants, for the sum OF so. Judge
Lamb non-suited the plaintln, on the
ground that the release OF one DEFENDANT
released them all.
The opinion has been expressed that
had the case been given to the jury, no
verdict would have been reached, as three
not have decided in favor of Evensen,
while four others put themselves on re-
cord to the effect that they would haVs
held out for damages.
The evidence in the case was all hearo
by o'clock yesterday afternoon, and ar
eunent on instructions was heard in the
Judges chambers.

Heavy Debt to BE Wiped Out.

When Father O'Reilly was. appointed
rector of Sacred Heart church. in May:
1891 ne found upon 1t a DEBT OF Szz,SOV' Oh
which he has succeeded, with the jealous
cooperation Of his congregation and
many friends outside of IL, In paying
more than half. 1t has been bis intention
fair in order to pay II of entirely. but
business was so dull that he determined
to wait. On Sunday last he announced
that he now thought the improvement In
business sufficient to carry out his plans,
and that with a strong and united ef-
fort, the debt might be paid OF alto
gether. He would. therefore, call upon
the ladies of the congregations and ms
many other friends TO assist In arrang-
ing for big fair in the autumn or WIN
ter. and he thought there was great rea-
SON to hope for complete success. The
popular excursion, which carries so many
people out OF town for days recreation
every August, will serve as an auxiliary
this year TO the coming fair.

Miss Gertrude Coleman, of Caroline,
has instigated suit in the Circuit Court
Of Lancaster county, for $4,000 damages,
against Romulus NJ. Sanders, Treasurer
of the latter county. for breach OF pro-
mise of marriage.
MiddleseX has a very matter-o1-iact
man among her ciliZens IN the lower
part of the county. His name is S. Grin
els, probably the most prominent man In
that section, well-known and popular. He
is past so years OF age but hale and
hearty and capable of doing as good a
days work on his large truck farm as
any ono of his stalwart sons.
Mr.. Grinels realizes that this happy
condition Of body cannot always last
so he has prepared against the day OF
fate" Upon a recent trip TO Baltimore
he purchased handsome coffin to cor
respond TO his corpulent figure, and, with
IL. a suit of fine funeral clothes. The
clothes he has placed In the coffin, and
has them all stored away at home. Not
content with this premature preparation,
Mr.. Grinels is having excayated ma,
nificent vault, which he contemplates
making his last resting place. He also
contemplates having his funeral sermon
preached in the near future, while yet
alive.
When asked why these preparations, he
said, with a twinkle in his eye. that
when he shuffed off this coil the boys
(hls sons) would probably be too busy
shipping peas or patotoes, and wouldn't
have time to attend TO the old man In
proper shape

THE SAME OLD PLACE.
The White Temple Looks Natural
Once More-It is Profaned.

Yesterday was q lively day In the
White Temple. The place looked very
natural. Justice John had returned from
the Philippines. and Sergeant Thomas
from West Point. The visitors were
there, too. a long line OF them.
One OF the most interesting cases was
that IN which complaint had been made
against Mr.. Leo Shultz for creating a
disturbance at his place, near Sanger
Hall. to the annoyance OF the neighbour
hood. The occupants OF residences Nos.
III, 7l3, and us east Marshall street made
the complaint. Mr.. Shultx has a ten-pin
alley. and the noise of rolling balls Is
claimed to keep the compliments awake
at night. The hearing was continued un-
I'll Tuesday. Justice Crutchheld declared
that the case. which Is really a test. was
one In which II was necessary 10 proceed
slowly and a great deal for the future
was involved.
