the defendant in the case of Anne T.
Marbury and others against Bessie w
Jones. The object of the suit was to de-
termine the ownership of an alley adj
joining property owned by the parties in
volved. The case was given to the jury
at 1:40 o'clock. and at $50 O'Clock the
jury. with j. II. Trimyer as foreman. re-
turned the foregoing verdict. Counsel
for the plaintiff moved that the verdict be
set aside as contrary to the law and evil
dence in the case. which was overruled
The plaintiff was given sixty days in
which to file an appeal. This case was
begun in court last Monday. 1t was also
tried once before, and on that occasion
was discharged. The plaintiff was repre-
scented by Cob F.. l.. Smith and the de-

The question of the proposed Withdrawal
of the tug Bartholdi. which operates be-
tween Washington, this city and the stee
plant on the opposite side of the river, tC
take both Alexandrians and Washing
tonians to the plant, will be taken up fol
consideration at a meeting of the chamber
of commerce at its rooms Monday night
next. Since the report has been made
that the boat would be taken off Deem
Der / next the matter has been under in
vestigation by the foregoing organization
AS stated in The Star, the Withdrawal
of the boat will affect thirty-five Alex
andrians employed at the plant. MEMBER
of the chamber of commerce believe that
they will secure favorable action which
will result in the boat service being con-
tinued. Should this be the case il will
mean that the Alexandrians employed al
the plant will not be compelled to. remove
from the city.
