Decisinn Rendered.

The case of Myers and Myers, execn-
tors of Lewis Myers, deceased, against
Max Lausburgh, in chancery, which was
argued before the Corporation Court one
day last week, has been decided by
Judge Barley. 10 an able opinion ne
decides each question involved in favor
OF the plaintiffs.
Originally this case arosein the Prince
William Circuit Court and was removed
TO the Corporation Court OF this city:
Tne executors OF Lewis Myers secured
Judgment in the District OF Columbia
supreme Court against Max Lansburgh.
With this judgment as evidence OF a
debt due, they sued out an attachment In
equity in Prince William and the debt be
IN reported by the master commissioner, q
decree for sale of the real estate OF the
defendant, located a. Quantico and COM
prising 1890 acres, more or less, was
a.ked, this property being the subject Oh
the attachment The defendants con-
tested the granting of the decree on seve-
raj grounds and the several queS'iohS
were argued before Judge Barley
A novel point was raised under section
357I of the code of Virginia, which pro-
v;des that in the enforcement OF judgment
LIENS. if it appears to the Court that the
cents and profits of the real estate sub
Z ct to the lien will not satisfy tie judg'
snent in five years, the Court may de.
cree the real estate or any part thereof
TO be sold etc. Defendant contended
that this section applied to the attach
ment lien and the judgment providing
therefor, and that the rents, etc.,
would in five years satisfy the judgment.
Plaintiffs argued that this section should
be applied strict y to the lien OF a Judg'
ment only and that defendant could not
avail himself of its provisions. The court
after citing authority to the effect that an
attachment lien was in the ma
ture of a lien created by deed OF
trust, referred to the case Of Kyger VS..
Sipe, SO. Va, page 5ll. In this
case the Virginia Supreme Court decided
the lien of a deed of trust vas not sucn
q lien as came under the provisions OF
section 357l. The other questions In
volyed were more quickly disposed OF by
Judge Barley, who in each instance
cited many authorities as foundation
for his opinion.
A decree for sale has been entered in
the cause.
Messrs Geo. f. Sullivan, of Wash
ington, and J. B. T. Thornton, oil Man
a,sas appeared for the defendant, and
the executors we're represented by Messrs;
Nathaniel Wilson, of Washington, ana
Jas. r. and II. B. Cation, Of this city.

POLITICAL POKER.

Topeka is much aSitated over reyela-

tlsed as an art, pastime, a profession.
TO one Thought then OF coneealing his
play of the game, but, rather, II was a
subject OF pride and boasting. Indeed,
Il was more than game, for Il served al
times in the adjudication Of the most
serious problems OF state or government.
At present the law OF Kansas recog-
nizes the game OF chance known as
drawing lots" as the proper means Of
deciding all ties In elections, but form
6rly draw poker was resorltd TO as a
more orderly means Of compromising.
For example. in one OF the western eoun-
ties, when two amlable gentlemen tied
sor the Office OF representative they
played a game Of "freeze-out" to de-
termlne which should enjoy the Office.
