AN RULING.
ADMINISTRATORS MUST FILE A
SPECIAL SALE BOND.

Judge Clancy made a ruling today in
the suit brought by Mary E. Hughes
against Charles w. Goodale as the guard
ian of the estate of Francis A. and Ger
adm Linforth, minors, to quiet title to
a piece of property which belonged to the
! estate, and it was an important one.
The property in question is the south
40 feet of the north So feet of lots 1, 2 and
3, and the east ten feet of the south 40
feet of the north So feet of lot 4 in block
10 of the Butte townsite. On the Sth of
November, 1890, Mr.. Goodale was APP
pointed guardian of this property for the
two Linforth children and a week later
filed the general guardianship bond and
took charge of it. In November of 1898
the court issued an order directing the
guardian to sell the property. The sale
was made, the amount realized being
81, $50, and on February %, 1894, it was
| confirmed. Mrs. Hughes was the pur-
chaser. Before the sale was made, how
ever, the guardian failed to give a special
sale bond, which fact cast a cloud upon
the title to the property. In order to get
the matter before the court an ejectment
suit was threatened in behalf of the
minor children 1t was followed by a real
suit by Mrs. Hughes to decide title. The
details of the transaction We're placed in
the hands of Judge Clancy, who, as
stated. gave his decision today. He said
that the failure of Mr.. GOOdale to give the
required special sale bond cast a cloud
upon the title to the property. "On in
v~estigation the court finds hat the au-
thorities cited by both sides are conflict
ing, but comes to the conclusion that
section 3S7 is mandatory on the guardian
of infants and not directing. The evident
intention of the Legislature was to hold a
close edge on the guardian of infants and
that said section should be strictly en-
forced. Whoever accepts a trust of this
character does so with a knowledge that
he must comply with the statutory pro-
visions regulating the duties ncident to
the relations which he assumes
The judgment of this court is that the
giving of said bono was mandatory and
the failure of the said guardian to give
the bond before such sale rendered the
sale null and void. The costs in the ac-
ton will be taxed up to Mrs. Hughes"
Bartolio Svetko. one of the men arrest
ed about three weeks ago as a suspected
murderer in connection with the stabbing
affray, at q dance in the Parrot addition,
was discharged from custody. When the
moment for letting him go arrived Judge
Clancy told him to vamoose, but as the
man is an Austrian and not a Mexican
he failed to fade until the judge repeated
the remark in Austrian and english.
The writ of mandat for which Silas F.
King petitioned the district court a few
days ago to compel Sheriff Regain to issue
a deed to the opera house property
was granted today by Judge Lindsay and
made ~returnable on the 25th. 1t COM
mands the sheriff to execute a deed to the |
property and turn it over to King.

Couldn't Catch Taylor.

Last Friday night one would have
thoughta Cuban expedition was being
organized in Shepherdstown. Deputy
Sheriff Porterfeld and Constable Ma
thena, of Charlestown, and Deputy
Joseph Baker, of Leetown, assembled
here, and after engaging the services
of John F. Maddox and J. R. Show as
pilots and extra gunners, with Walt
Crowl driving the team, they departed
for the Billmyer's Mil neighborhood.
They intended to arrest William lay
lor, the colored man who had been so
reckless with revolver, an account
Of which was printed couple Of weeks
ago. When they arrived within a
short distance of Taylors defenses
they held council Of war, the result
Of which was determination to sur
round the enemy. The movement was
carried out all right, aud the lines
closed in on the cabin There's no
doubt the enemy would have been
captured in fine style, but untortuna-
tely he wasn't at home. Like the
Cuban army, when he was wanted
most he was farthest away. The Of
fcers made thorough search Of the
encampment, but Taylor could not be
found, and his people solemnly assert
ed that be had gone many hours be-
fore. There was nothing to DO but
admit the failure Of the campaign,
and the army fell back to its base of
supplies, the Entler Hotel. The vol
unteers were mustered out of service,
the regulars returned to their respec-
tive stations, and Taylor breathe' the
air of freedom until more successful
expedition shall report.

"Cheapn Advertising.

The sale of Mr.. Marshall Burns OC-
CURED Wednesday. Very much valua
bic property was offered and sold Eight
head of horses and colts; - head of
stock cattle 1870 sheep; 100 fine hogs,
and farming implements. The prices
ranged low. The cattle averaged scarce
ly above ten dollars, sheep with lambs
sold cheap; hogs also sold low. The
crowd was Small-scarcely over two
hundred people Mr.. Burns by eCono-
MIXING in advertising lost at least $500
Hundreds Of people did not know
he was to have sale. The southern
and southwest end Of the county was
scarcely resented-AdV0cafc.
Mr.. Burns was the victim Of con-
fdence game. The probability is he
was offered what seemed to be five or
ten dollars worth of advertising for a
dollar. He thought he was getting
bargain and took it. Then when
person doing bushes, in far and
legitimate way asked him reasonable
price he doubtless concluded that 1t
was an attempt to gouge him, and nat
urally declined to give what was asked.
His dollar bargain was a dear invest
mert-as it has been also to others
nearer Shepherdstown whom we could
name. The Adrocate is doubtless in
the same position the REGISTER Is,
and realizes that there is limit IN
competition beyond which no self-re-
speeding business man can go. 1t
may be observed, however, that the
loss to the advertiser who fails to pa
tronize the best mediums Is greater
than the loss to the newspapers who re-
fuse to do the work for less than an
honest profit.
We do not mean by this statement
of our opinion to reflect in any man
ner upon the publisher Of the Charles
town SPIRIT. We have always found
Mr.. Haines an honorable newspaper
man and a worthy gentleman.

A Dinner at the Philadelphia Art Club.

One of the most pleasant events that
can come in the experience of a coun-
try journalst-before final translation,
of course-was that which made red
letter day for the editor of the REGIS
TER on Tuesday. The occasion was a
dinner given by Mr.. Thomas R. Marls
at the Philadelphia Art Club. The
pleasure it afforded was worth double
the Journey Of two hundred miles
to participate in the festivities. Mr..
Maris is himself the prince of good fel-
lows, and it naturally follows, there
fore, that the company Of friends that
be had gathered around him Tuesday
night was such as to make a most con-
genial and happy party. The dinner
was announced at seven o'clock, and
covers were laid for thirty in the hand
some private dining-room Of the club
house. The menu was one Of Pertee-
ton, and in its daintiness and variety
left nothing to be desired twas ably
and fully discussed fol some four or
FIVE hours, accompanied by flow Of
wit and sparkling Jest that made the
time pass all too quickly.
When the material business OF the
feast had been satisfactorily attended
to, another but equally enjoyable fea-
turs of the occasion began with read
ings by "Dr. White. He was followed
by Mr.. Corbin, whose exquisite per-
Torrance on the cornet, with Mr. Mars
at the piano, held the breathless atten-
ton of the party Solo singing by DR..
c B. Knerr and DR.. Bayard Knerr,
Mr.. Shields, Sam Kennedy-the only
Sam Kennedy-Mr. Lambert and
others, brought forth the ready APP
plause, while Rotations, stories and
many a joke made the time pass so
swiftly that it was a very late hour,
or it may be better to say early, when
the party reluctantly sang its closing
chant, Should suld acquaintance be
forgot
The occasion of the dinner was o.
tensibly to celebrate the twenty-ffth
anniversary of the establishment in
Philadelphia of the American Bank
Note Company, of which Mr. Mams is
the head, but in reality it was, in our
opinion, a result of the irrepressIble
tendency of the host to make happy
those who are so fortunate as to be his
friends. We are quite certain that no
one who participated in the festivities
of the evening can forget its pleasures.
AS for ourseli, we have at last found
brand of hospitality quite equal to that
which has become famous south of the
Potomac-andIts happiest representa-
tive is Mr. Thomas Mans.
