S322 go. This case was tried before Judge

suit to recover for a gasoline engine sold by
the plaintiff to the defendant in December
1885, and which, the latter claimed, wa.
defective and not what it was represented t,
be. ~

THOSE RESERVATIONS.
Judge Pershing, who has been recuperatinl
at the seashore for the past two or thre,
weeks is expected home the latter part o
this week. When he arrives, he will hold
consultation with Judges Bechtel and Kocl
in reference to the designations of Commits
Severn. Now that these designations arr
positively known to be in the hands of tn
court it is expected their successors will b.
appointed on Monday. 1t is understood tn
designations of the Commissioners ar
dated to take effect on the first of April. Tn
names of many prominent citizens are bein
suggested to the court, and candidates ar
multiplying daily. The remaining few days
therefore, will be fraught with anxiety b,
those seeking these plums. 1t is general,
believed that Frank Kantner, of Lofty, will
be selected to succeed Mr.. Rentz, and Josepl
Nichtsr, of this place, is looked upon as tn
forthcoming Democratic member, although
the friends of Daniel Brennan, Of Shenan
doah, are making a strong fight for thei
favOrite. The fact that Mr.. Brennan was
candidate before the Democratic convention
but was defeated, should prove strong car
in his favor. The Shenandoah man, durin
the past few days, is looming up as a stron
competitor. 1t is generally believed tina
Charles A. Snyder, Esq, will be the nex
Controller, by appointment of the Governor
He is strongly backed by influential Republi
cans throughout the county and the fact tina
he has always been strong supporter of tn
state administration will undoubtedly be
strong factor in his favor.
