portals of our church, and borne from
our midst the noble spirit of Elder
Harvey Tice Cushwa. whose recorded
life works in church, and home and
state, though not extended to the per-
iod of three score years and ten, would
form biography for the full time,
replete with christian acts and gener-
GUS deeds. AS o member of Christs
Reformed church, Martinsburg W. Va,
holding the offices Of Elder and Trhs-
tee, he was found faithful to every
duty. committed TO his care. 1t is the
desire of the consistory that q record
be made of suitable expression OF sor-
row and regret, respecting the death
of this dear brother in Christ. There
fore

IMPORTANT DECISION
RENDERED. BY THE STATE sU-
PREME COURT.
1t Relates to Jurisdiction of Justices of
the Peace-They Are Limited to Their
Own Districts.

own Dfstrfcts.
Through a decision handed down by
the Supreme court of the State Satur-
day in the case of JOHNSON ct al !.
VS.. Hunter ct al, from Ohio county,
Justices of the Peace are prohibited
from trying cases in districts outside
of the ones in which they are elected.
thus rendering valueless thousands of
Judgements decided upon by them, and
completely revolutionlzing the lower
Judiciary in West Virginia.
This test case arose in the Justices
Court in Ohio county and the proper
ty in question consisted of an anti
quated organ and ring boned, spav
ined horse. The plaintiffs, in order
to secure what they considered JUS
tlce. entered the case before Squire
in another district.
1t was taken from one Court 20 an
other. and finally landed at the tribu-
nal of last resort in the state, When
the point above mentioned was raised
and decided contrary to the hopes and
desires of the hordes of hungry JUS
tees in the state. In the menn'ime
the organ was burned in fire and
the horse died while In the Consta-
ble's hands, so there was nothing left
to fight for but principle.
Here in Berkeley county alone, the
sweeping decision will invalldate
many cases, involving many dollars.
1t means death blow to pettifog
glng. for hereafter every Justice of the
Peace will be compelled to remain,
within his own baIliwick.
