Not Anxious for yindioation.

The novel case of Daniel +. Seybert
against Theodore f. Craig, Thomas Nc
GrGw, Stephen Gould, samuel Seey.
Philip Secly, Joseph Walton, and Jacob
Gould, deceased, was called for trial
before Judge Woodward Friday morn
ing, but the plaintiff did not appear and
verdict was given for the defendants.
The case was called Thursday, and the
plaintiff asked for continuance, be-
cause of the absence of witness. The
defendants attorney objected, and sent
commissioner to Beach Haven to take
the deposition of the sick witness. In
the afternoon Mr.. Seybert made an
effort to enter a non-suit, but did not
succeed, and he did not appear next
morning.
The case is a peculiar one. The
parties all reside in Salem township, in
the vicinity of Beach Haven and Ber-
wick. A set of harness was stolen from
man named Mason, in 1886, and it
was charged that Sey bert stole it. Sey-
bert was arrested for larceny, tried,
convicted and served term in the
penitentiary. In 1891 Seybert entered
civil proceedings against all the defend
ants for 100000 damages, alleging they
conspired against him to have him con
victed. The case has been hanging in
the courts for years.

"The World Against Her. +"

Agnes Wallace Villa, the emotional
actress, was at the Whitney's opera
house last evening. She is perhaps as
familiar with the publics of theatres as
any actress in America. Throughout
her career she has appealed to the same
theatrical taste, and so satisfactory has
been her efforts that the mere an
nouncement of her name is sufficient to
fill the largest or smallest of towns.
This was certainly the case last evening,
for the pretty theatre on Griswood street
was packed to its limit by her admirng
and enthusiastic friends, who nocked to
to see her and her excellent company in

Those of our merchants who have
adopted the plan are pleased with the
results so far, as it increases the cash

Savage Tribes Queer Customs.

Savage tribes of people have queer
and ofttimes cruel methods of trying to
foreknow coming events. It is stated
that it is customary among Kaffir
tribes, when trouble is brewing among
themselves or with white races, to skin
oxen alive in order to ascertain which
side will win. A white OK always rep
resents the Dutch, a red OK the Eng
lish, and black one the natives. The
Basutos in the Free State, having
heard of the trouble between the Eng
lish government and the Transvaal,
put their old custom to the test a
short time ago. They reported that
the white OK lived four days longer
than the other one; both oxen were
skinned alive. The result is that the
Basutos think that if war comes about
that the Beers will win, and they have
decided to take no part in any trouble
that may ensue.

Vast Quantities of Paper Used.

This country uses annually more
than 800, 900, 900 worth of paper, or
an aggregate of 1900, 900, 900 pounds
of all kinds. A little less than third
OF this enormous production is used
by the newspapers Of the country.
The wrapping paper of all kinds
amounts to about two-thirds ~ much
as the newspaper and almost half as
much is used to manufacture books
as to print newspapers. The produc-
ton of the various kinds Of paper
board amounts to over 10000 tons
annually, or more than half the pro-
duction of news paper. Builders use
10000 tons of paper, not including
the As, 900 tons of wall paper that are
produced annually.

Hon. James Parrett, representing a
committee of the State Agricultural
Association for Georgia, having for its
purpose the development of plan
for the better marketing of the cotton
crop, has called convention for the
cotton allied interests for the 25th of
October in Atlanta.
To this convention will be invited
the bankers, country merchants, cot
ton mill men and farmers generally
for the purpose of debating and fur
Their developing the plan under way.
"What we want" said Mr.. Barrett,
'is plan by which cotton can be
stored in bonded or surety warehouses,
which should be situated in every viii
lage, town and city where cotton is
sold. The warehouse certificate of
storage should be good for bank col
lateral By the relief which this
measure would bring, the farmers
could pay their merchants and break
up the pressure from the local money
owners"

As the we'll educated native of India
emulates western manners as far as
possible, it is not to be wondered at
that he is partial to the frock coat.
From this partially curious trade
has sprung up. Regularly large con-
signments of second hand frock coats
are shipped out from England to Bonn
bay and are disposed of to the natives,
who strut about like peacocks in not
infrequently impossible coat. Add to
this that the wearers don't go in for
socks, and, to man, wear glaring pat
emit leather shoes, and you have a pic
ture. When is added to this the fact
that the native head dress is worn and
that the unmeLtionabies are of linen,
and cut skin tight, with many folds
around the ankles, the sight is often
times ludicrous.
So fashionable has the frock coat
become in India that native tailors
make the ordinary coats of the natives
largely on frock coat lines, and it is
no unusual sight to see the athletic
youths of Northern India disporting
themselves in so-called frock coats of
as many hues as the famous garment
of Joseph. -Waverly Magazine.

Mr.. Eustis was taken ill on Wednes'

worse on Thursday, developing symp-

there was consultation of physicians,
who stated that there was scarcely any

TAKE THE OFFENSIVE,


Filipinos Attack Three Towns, But Ac-
complish Nothing.
A Saturdays cable dispatch from
Manila says: A force of 450 rebels,
with one cannon, attacked Santa Rita
early this morning and Simultaneous
Guaga and San Antonio were attacked
by bodies of rebels numbering about
sixty men. All the attacks we're re-
pulsed without loss to the Americans.
Colonel Bell and his regiment, while
attempting to take the rebels in the
rear, met two patrols aud succeeded in
capturing rebel captain. q lieuten-
ant and six privates.
The inhabitants of Santa Barbara,
the rebel headquarters in the island of
Panaya, have abandoned the town,
fearing bombardment of the place
by the United States flagship Oregon.
