From the Charles Town Advocate we
take the following proceedings OF the
! Jefferson Circuit Court, which adjourned
for the term on Thursday:
Two judgments were rendered against
A. Kaplon, Harper'S Ferry merchant,
on evidence submitted to the court. The
suits in which judgments were entered
grew out of accounts between the defen-
daat and wholesale firms from whom he
had purchased goods. One judgment
was for $473 90 in favor Of the Dewitt
Wharton Manufacturing Co., the other in
favor OF |. A. Samuels & Co., for $237.5 50
In an action for damages against the
corporation OF Harper's Ferry, A. Kaplon
won a verdict for 1915 SO. The corporate
authorities of Harper's Ferry year or
two ago reduced the grade OF a street in
front Of the plaintiffs lot and it was upon
this that the action was instituted.
A decree tor $ll5.Sl was entered in ia
vor OF Diehl Brothers, of Charles Town,
against Archie Billmyer, executor OF Robt
L. Billmyer, and the bonding company
that's surety for the executor, the claimants
having the amounts allowed by petition
in the case of Maize VanMeter VS.. Archie
BIlmyer, executor.
The demurrer to the plaintiffs declara-
ton in an action for damages instituted
by Thos. H. Jones against the B. & o
