Chapman Wins His suit.

Vice Chancellor Grey last Monday filed
his decision in the suit Of Arthur Chaplain
against Mrs A. s. Barber to comply with
agreement Of sale and convey to him bhe
property on Cantre street The Vice
Chancellor finds that the receipt from Mrs.
Barber to Chaplain acknowledging receipt
Of $50 amounted to contract of sale hence
his decision that she complete the contract
BY making conveyance Of the property to
Chaplain. This sale has created no little
comment in Woodbury., and adjoining
property owners are credited with being
behind the effort to keep Chaplain from
gaining possession Of the property.
The history Of the case is that after the
death of the late A. S. Barber, Jr, the
widow desired to dispose Of the residence
and Claphan, the colored caterer Of this
city, offered to buy. After several confer~
ences details were arranged, and Mrs. Bar
Der accepted $50 from Chaplain to bind the
bargain until conveyance could be made.
The paper given Chaplain was a plain re-
lceipt for $50, none Of the objects to follow
being set forth. The news got into the
papers before actual conveyance was made.
and property owners on Centre street OBJ
jected 50 strenuonsly that Mrs. Barber re-
fused to sell. Chaplain brought suit, and
under this decision has won. The case Is
to be carried to the Court Of Errors and
Appeals.

It occurred to me last Sunday morning that I needed certain steadying infiu- ences in my days work which the or dinary joys of the city in the good old summer time do not comprise. Hence ordered a hanson, started forth about half-past ten in search of a church where the spiritual refreshment thought I needed might be obtained. On the whole it was interesting experience for it showed me several things I had never observed before and brought into my ken as well the most satisfied person I have ever met
 Take me over to St. Philistine's," said I to the cabby, as I jumped into the ve- hicle.

 That's all and I am the tester that puts you to your trumps shortly after you are launched Mephistopheles observed quietly.
 And yet you say you are hopeful about New York" I said.
 ''Very-she stands the test mighty we'll" Mephistopheles replied. Even with the churches closed and other safe- ty valves corked up. as seems to be the fashion here in summer. with the su- premest tests possible applied to her moral character. every autumn New York comes up smiling. without a screw loose anywhere or a strained timber in her construction or a blowhole in her ar nor.
