Judge Butt Sustained.

His Honor Judge Aston G. Dayton of
the United States Circuit and District
Courts, sitting as an Applate Court. has
just handed down an opinion in the
celebrated Bankruptcy case of John R.
Wiley of Moorefeld in Hardy county.
This was an appeal from a judgment
rendered yJudge Jas D Butt in the lower
court. Judge Dayton sustains aud
affirms Judge Butt in every point raised
in the case and pays the latter the very
high and unusual compliment of adopting
hts opinion as that of the Appellate
Court IN every particular. The case
grew out of construction of contract
for the sale of the Mullen Hotel property
at Moorefield. alleged to have been
procured by fraud. Both judges failed
to find any fraud in the transaction, up
held the contract ard at an early d4y
the property will be sold by Attorney
John o. Lemon of harrisburg, who is
the Trustee. The case was vigorously
contested by attorneys H. H. Emmert
and John o. Lemon of Martinsburg, and
w. H. Griffith of Keyser. for the
Plaintiffs, and attorneys Faulkner.
Walker & Woods of Martinsburg, and
attorneys Gamble, McCauly and Daley
of Moorefeld. for the Defendants. BY
the affirmance of this case Judge Butt
occupies the proud position of never
having been reversed in any of the many
appeals taken from his decisions during
the past thirteen years of service.

tribute TO his immortal commanders. Lee
and Jackson. (the latter his tutor in the
art OF war; and incidentally referred to
the non-success of Lee as not being in
any way on account of any defect in his
own plans, but on account of the failure
OF Longstreet. on three different occa-
siorS, TO come up at the proper time. His
peroration was splendid. and his COM
rades and home people were more than
ever pleased with the dashiug former
Confederate officer who never surrer-
dered his guns. but has them to this day
so well buried down near the James that
even he and his men have never been
able to locate and resurrect them.
The Daughters of the Confederacy de-
serve many thanks for the handsome dec
