AN INTERESTING SUIT.
I
hemiin. triinp bkothire, of
this CITY, AWARDED $10,©OW
DA BAUER.
About a year aud a half ago a man
named James L. Branson, of Phila
delphia, was arrested in this city on a
capias issued at the instance of Messrs.
ump Brothers, machinists of this
city, for $2,000 due them by Branson.
At the tune of his arrest and shortly
alter his release he
liici'UBLlCAN re|)orter, and informed
tin* newspaper man that lie did not owe
them a cent and that he had been
shamefully treated. An article to that
ellcct appeared, which done the Messrs.
Trump Brothers a gross injustice,
but was corrected In a later issue. The
capias was served on Branson by J. H.
Hoffeeker, Jr., Esq., attorney for
ip Brothers, for the $2,500 due his
clients, which was subsequently re
covered without its being taken to
Court. The entire circumstance of the
case is about as follows :
The Trump Brothers first made a
contract with Branton in 1870,to manu
facture a patent knitting machine,
which, when they got hold of it was im
perfect and little or no good to the pat
entee. The contractors then set about
to improve the machiue aud after spend
ing considerable time, and at great
jrt'iiKc, they made it a very valuable ar
ticle. in order that they might fill his
(the patentee's) orders a large stock of
achines was made up,and in 1882
they were doing a large business in
the manufacture of the same. In Feb
ruary, 1882, the patentee violated the
terms of bis contract aud ran into the
debt of the manufacturers to the
amount of about $2,700.
When he was approached upon
subject he disputed their accounts ami
claimed that a considerable sum of
money was due him. Several attempts
were made on the part of the manufac
turers for an amicable settlement, but
without successs,
any part of their claim, unless they ac
ceded to certain unjust demands he
made upon them, which, ofcourse, they
refused to do, and he finally told them
that he would not pay them a cent
less compelled to in Court. He was ac
cordingly arrested on a capias, as stated
above, and the amount of the claim col
lected.
This still left the manufacturers with
a large number of the machines on
together with a considerable
amount of valuable machinery used in
the construction, which he refused to
take off their bands, and, having al
possession through
them, of the improvements to his pa
tent, he began to manufacture the

The Episcopal Convention continued
its sessions yesterday in the Church of
the Holy Trinity. The House of Depu
ties was cal led to order at the usual
hour, hut many of the. members were
late in arriving. Their interest in the
proceedings does not appear as g
it was during the ilrst week, and
lew are beginning to manifest a desire
to return to their homes. Bishop Greeu,
of Mississippi, one of the most vener
able prelates attending the Convention,
withdrew yesterday and bid farewell to
the deputies.
''It will, under the providence of
God, be the last time," he said, " that I
will attend a General Convention. I
aiu the only survivor of all the bishops
and clergy who attended the General
Convention in 1 *23. When I eutered
the ministry sixty-three years ago,
there were then only nine bishops. Now
I see six times that number. What has
God wrought for us as a church ?"
A message was received from the
House of Bishops requesting the ap
pointment of a joint committee on emi
gration to devise rneaus to throw the
influence of the Episcopal Church
among the large number of emigrants
arriving in this country. The lower
house concurred in the message. Hon.
Orlando Meads, a member of the com
mittee to which had been referred the
subject of harmonizing the laws of the
Church with those of the several States
in so far as they relate to the functions
and powers of rectors, churchwardens
and vestrymen, reported that the mem
ruembers at present could not reach a
conclusion. The committee recom
mended the appointed of a joint special
committee, consisting of two bishops,
two clergymen and two laymen to con
sider the subject and to report to the
next General Convention.
The hour for the consideration of the
enrichment of the Prayer Book having
arrived, the house resolved itself into a

For several days past painters have
been busy about the old established
shoe house of George H. Marple, south
east corner of Second and Shipley
streets, and have succeeded in making
the place very attractive,
to the fresh lettering of several small
sigus, the entire gable end of the build
ing has been decorated with tin im
mense sign, together with a life-size ele
phant, as large if not larger than J tun
bo.
The huge monster appears in his na
tive country, in a jungle, and is as
natural as life. The scenery round
about him is quite pretty, and, with
his immense hoots on each foot, he at
tracts considerable attention. He is
named " Bay State," in order to repre
sent the Bay State boots aud shoes, of
which Mr. Marple has the exclusive
agency in this city. The shoos of this
manufacture are said to be the best in
the market. This flue piece of artistic
paiuting was executed by S. Schultz,
the artist of this city, and is quite a
credit to the firm of Schultz & Uobler,
which he represents. The great boot
and shoe emporium above alluded to
was established in 1840, and persons
desiring bargains should make it a point
to examine the stock to bo found there,

The prisoner did not rest well last night.
She was unable to sleep and spent most
of the time in prayer. At 10.35 this
morning she was taken from the jail,
under an armed escort, and carried to
the gallows, which was erected three
quarters of a mile to the north qf the
Jourt. House. After singing "Jesus,

Her sister was on the scaffold, and
turning to lier, she told her td be warn
ed by her fate. "I want to be buried
by the side of my mother," she said,
''butthey will not allow it. They do
not care what becomes of my body.
Good bye ! Good-bye, sister, good-bye!"
All her statements were made in a
clear, ringing voice, though at times
she became incoherent and repeated
sentences over and over again.
At seven minutes after 12 o'clock the
the trap was sprung and she was dang
ling in the air. In eight minutes her
pulse ceased to bear, and in twenty min
utes she was declared dead. The fall
was six feet. Her neck was broken
and she died without a struggle. The
body was turned over to her sister for
interment.
New York, October 19— Edward
Hovey, the murderer of his sister-in
law, was hanged this morning. Hovey
passed the night quietly, sleeping part
of the time. He had frequent com
iiiunings with his pastor, Rev. Mr.
Guilbert. Stimulants were administer
ed to him at long intervals, and shortly
before lie was led to execution a hy
podermic injection of morphine was
given him. He expressed himself as

and hoped that those
whom he had injured would do the
same. Hovey expressed sincere contri
tion for his crime. Services were con
ducted and the sacrament administered
to him in his cell this morning.
Shortly before 8 o'clock, accompanied
by his pastor and some deputy Slier id's,

There a short prayer was read and the
noose adjusted. At 8.5(1 o'clock the
rope was cut and Hovey swung in the
air. His arms and legs worked con

heaved for bait a minute and all was
over. In fourteen minutes he was pro

Verdict of t lie Coroner's Jury.
Coroner Smith summoned a jury yes
terday,and held an inquest last evening
at the undertaking establishment of L.
W. Palmer, over the body of Joseph
Maiden, the colored man who was
drowned in the Brandywine creek yes
terday morning. Three witnesses were
examined, from whom it was learned
that the deceased was a native of Nay
lor's Hole, Richmond County, Vir
ginia, and came to Wilmington about
the 18th of May last. After working a
short time at the phosphate works of
Whann & Company, he went to work
for the Edgemoor Iron Company.
Thursday, October 11, was the last day
he worked, being obliged to quit on ac
count of sickness. On Saturday last ha
came to the residence of George Maid
, his cousin, and told him of his sick
ness. He also asked his relative to go
to the market and get a chicken for
him. Meantime he said he would go
back to Edgemoor and get his clothes.
His cousin protested, and told him ho
had better go to bed. While his cousin
was absent in search of a chicken, the
unfortunate man left the house, aud
was never seen alive afterwards. Search
was instituted for him, but nothing was
heard of him until he was found float
ing in the creek.
Deceased had been sick for two or
three weeks, and bail been in low
spirits. Previous to starting from bis
n's he had said : "1 would rather
be dead than to suffer as I do with ma
larial fever," aud also said that Sun
day morning would not see him alive.
They laughed at the assertion, and en
deavored to cheer him up.
The unfortunate man was about 25
arried. After
years of age, and
hearing the testimony of the witnesses,
the jury rendered a verdict of death by
drowning in the Brandywine,
hotly will be interred to-day in Mt.
Zion cemetery.
