JURY WAS001
OYER NIGHT.
And Trial of the Frantz
Case Followed the
Retirement of the
Body.

The jury In tho Lawless damage suit
was charged by Chief Justice Lore in Su-
perior Court yesterday afternoon. 1t re-
tired at 3 10 o'clock aad was out at 73U
In the evening. At that hour 1t was locked
up for the night. Immediately after the
retirement Of the Jury trial of the case Of
Frantz vs.. The Girard Life Insurance and
ANNUITY Trust Company was begun.
William S. Hilles, represents DR.. Frantz
and George Tucker BiFpham and Robert
II, Maxwell both of Philadelphia. the de-
tendent company. j. II. Hoffecker, Jr..
Is not one Of the attorneys for the defend-
ant company, but will appear as . witt
ness.
Mr.. Hilles 10 opening the case for the
plaintiff said that II was an action charg-
ing deceit on tho part OF the Glrard Life
Insurance Annuity and Trust Company
Of Philadelphia, which was recsiver for
the Wilmington Dental Company. and
seeking to recover 70. 100 advanced the
receiver by DIR. A. n. Frantz on which
however credit is given for two dividends
one OF "A per cent and II pcr cent which
had been paid by tho receiver. leaving
1877.
The money was advanced with the un-
derstanding that Dir Frantz was to bs
made q preferred creditor. The receiver
had applied to the Uni cd S. ates Court for
permission to borrow money necessary to
take up indebtedness due H. NJ. b Barry.
The latter had brought suit In the Com
mon Pleas Court In Philadelphia, The
receiver desired to pay about flO. 900 to
Barry to redeem prOmisory notes which
bore collateral clause. When the rs.
ceiver started to make distribution of tho
funds Of the company, DIR. Frantz was not
recognized as preferred creditor. hence
tho action.
DR.. J. j. Frnntz was the only witness
examined yesterday Of, ernoon. He was
president of the Dental Company from
its Organization until. q re,e,ver was APP
pointed. Ho was then given genera! super.
vsioh of tho company.
He testified as TO the Instructions given
to him bv II. l.. Tatnall, vice president
Of the Girard Life Insurance Annuity
and Trust Company about borrowing
about $4,000 to pay Mr.. Barry. He was
told that the money would bs paid back
out OF the first money received.
Ho Went around among his friends and
Obtained &c, 100 from his brother, DR.. A.
Il. Franlz. which was given the receiver.

THE LATE ALFRED c. HARMER.
educated in the public schools and in
the Germantown academy. He began
his public career in 1856, when he was
elected to city councils for four years.
In 1860 he was elected recorder OF
deeds for this city for three years. He
was elected to congress in 1870, and
reelected to every subsequent congress
with the exception of the Forty fourth.
The one break In his long congression-
al career was due to a three-cornere
fight. Neither he nor his Republican
opponent would yield, and John Rob-
bins, Democrat, slipped in and cap
tured the prize by about 1000 plurality.
Mr.. Harmer was elected by substan-
tial majority in 1876, and since had no
difficulty in retaining his seat. His
majority almost constantly increased,
he being returned to the present con-
gress with 10000 majority.
