Jury In Higgins Damage Case Gives YER
dict Under Instruotion-state Cannot be
Made Garnishee.
On the round that the plaintiff had
not made such case as that stated In
the declaration, the Superior Court
Tuesday afternoon decided to grant a
motion for a nonsuit Ia the case Of
Charles j. Higgins vs.. the Mayor and
Council Of Wilmington. The plaintiff
declined tc accept nonsuit, and the
Jury, under the instruction Of the
court, returned verdict for the city.
Counsel for the plaintiff noted an ex-
ception and will probably take the case
to the Supreme Court. The application
for nonsuit was made by Messrs.
Conrad and Cahoon, for the CITY, who
claimed that there was q material
variance between the allegations in the
declaration and the proof: that the
declaration alleged that Higgins was
violently thrown. from the Delaware
truck. whereas the testimony Of the
plaintiff was that he jumped, E. r.
Cochran, Jr., and Lewis G. Vandogrift
represented Higgins.
The court gave its decision in the
case Of the Farmers Bank of George
town Va. David I. Marvel, on the ques-
tion of whether money in the hands Of
the State treasurer, could be attached.
The court iuled that the money IN the
State treasurers' hands was money in
the States hands, and that as the
State could not be made defendant
in legal proceedings, could not be made
a garnishee, an attachment for the
$3.50, due from the State to Mr.. Marvel
could not lie. ~.
Judgment was reversed 10 the case of
Trump Brothers Machine Co. VS..
Winfield S. RICHTER, because adjourn
ment had been taken over 10 days.
Judgment had been given in the lower
court in favor of Fighter for about $50.
On an action to revive Judgment in
the case OF Martin Fuller Il Co, VS..
Isaac Miller, administrator Of William
Miller, the Jury rendered verdict for
the plaintiff for 50, 1874. II, with inter-
est from May 7th, 1877, and G cents
costs, besides the sum expended in the
suit.

VIII Not Meet In Dover on Tuesday of Next
Week, US Proposed.
j. Frank Alice OF Dover, chairman Of
the Union Republican State Central
Committee, and Walter ii. Hayes, one
of the Wilmington members of the COM
mittee, conferred Tuesday by tele
phone relative to the action of the
Regular committee Monday in chang
ing the date of its State convention and
it was decided by the former TO call
the committee together in Dover on
Friday morning and take some action
relative to the party's convention, tho
date of which must be changed for it
to conform to the requirements of tho
National Committee, requiring 80
days notice.
While Mr.. Hayes would not commit
himself rs to what would probably be
done, saying the committee would
decide the matter on Friday, it was
learned from another source that it has
been practically decided to declare the
convention off, so far as February 9th
is concerned, and make arrangements
for convention to be held at q later
date. The two conventions cannot be
held ON the same day.

SUPPOSED DEAD MAN ALIVE.


Joseph Klein OF Chester Startled When
Former Employe Walked Into His store.
Chester Pa. Republican.
Joseph Klein, the shoemaker at No.
81 West Third street, was greatly sur
prised when he saw what he thought
was ghost walk into his store. 1t
will be remembered that on February
9Th, Jacob Hausemnn, who was at one
time employed by Klein, was reported
to have committed suicide at his home
In Wilmington by taking the entire
contents of bottle of medicine con-
tanning poison.
A few days since Klein heard the
door of his store open and was startled
upon looking up to see the supposed
dead man walk in, apparently as healthy
as ever. Matters were soon explained
and it was found that it had been
Hauseman' 8 brother who had ended his
life and not the Chester man. How
the false report got in circulation is
unknown, but until the present it has
never been contradicted,
