SAYS MARSHAL COLLECTED
It When It Was Due Him Only One Case Growing Out of the Ensley Bridge Wreck Now Re-
 mains on Docket.

J. c. Musgrove, former United States marshal for the Northern district of Ala bama, and Joseph r. Johnston and l.. B. Musgrove, sureties on his official bond, have been made the defendants in suit filed yesterday in the city court by A. J. Sullivan for $2,12O.25 damages for alleged breach of conditions of said bond.
 The complaint recites the fact that Mus grove received his commission as United States marshal under appointment of Pres ident Cleveland, on August p, 1893, and that before entering upon the discharge of his official duties executed a bond for the faithful performance of such duties, said bond having been signed by Joseph F. Johnston and L. B. Musgrove as sureties. The plaintiff further ayers that there has been a breach to his injury and damage by the said J. c. Musgrove of the condl- tions of the said official bond, in that J. c. Musgrove, while filling the office of United States marshal for the Northern district of Alabama under said bond, col- lected and received from the United States treasury at Washington, D. C., the sum of $2,120.25 as compensation due from the United States government to plaintiff for services, work and labor done and per- formed by plaintiff as deputy United States marshal. It is further alleged that it be- came and was the duty of said Musgrove as United States marshal to pay the money over to plaintiff, which it is avered said Musgrove has neglected, failed and refused to do, although repeatedly requested by plaitin to do so

 Only one case aga nst the county, grow ing out of the Ensley bridge accident, re- mains on the dockets of the courts, the three other remaining cases having been settled yesterday afternoon by agreement. As a result of the accident which occurred several years ago, it will be remembered that quite a number of suits were filed against the county in the city court, all of which have now been tried or settled ex- cept the one remaining case, which is set for trial on Thursday. and which will also probably be settled by agreement
 Quite number of persons were hurt in the accident, which cost the county several thousand dollars.
