EULOGIES OF JOSEPH PYLE
Tho Memorial Exercises in St.
Paul's Church.
the
tho
the
Ht Paul'sM. E. Church was crowded
Sunday afternoon at tho services in
memory of the lato Joseph Pyle. Tho
Rov. Thomas E. Terry, pastor of the
church, presided and tho Rev. l.afayetto our
Marks, D. D., pastor of Hanover Pres
by ter iah Choren, opened the services
with prayer. The pulpit and platform say
and the organ were draped with black.
A picture of Mr. Pylo was on the pulpit.
The first speaker was the Rev. Mer
ritt Hulburu, S. T. D., pastor of Grace
M. E. Church, whose subject was
''The Institutional and Benevolent
Work of Mr. Pyle." He showed a
lesson to youth in speaking of the
friendless boy who Storni at tho parting
of the ways at the old toll gate and
cast a tearful look back towards his to
home, and then of the successful man
of Htfairs who had died full of honors,
lamented by his follow citizens.
Mr. Pyle, he said, was not a narrow
. Tie was not influenced by merely
personal motives. Ho was not the
most learned, the most wealthy or tho
most talented man in the community,
although he Jacked none of these things,
llo was what he was because of his
breadth of sympathy and the broad view
he took of things. In his work the
ppeakor said, you could not tell bis de
nominationa) connection. He loved
every believer and lover of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
In regard to his institutional work
Dr. Hulburd said that if von wanted .
to know what conference boards he was Î 1
you would have to name them all,
and be was not a figure-head on any ft
f them. He had contributed to- .5
wir -!a pvnry church that hfl.l hecn built
in Wilmington in the last 20 vours.
Dr. Hulburd put Mr. Pyle'. nonver
'ion at the bottom of tho magnificent
column of his life. His inspiration
came from his abiding and firm belief
in the promises of Uod. His influence
would long Hurvivo him.
Mr. Five*, religious life was trente.)
by tlm Kev. L. K Barrett, ,,residing
elder of the Wilmington ilii.Tj.it. His
relations to the free schools and the
Sunday-schools was discussed bv
Charles Bnird, president of the Board <
of Public Education ami superiaten
(lent of tho West Presbyterian Sunday
school. Mr. Baird believed that it was H5
because Mr. Pylo was first brought
into tho church by a little child that
his sympathies went out to children
thoy did. When told by his doctor to
quit all aotivo work, he said ho would
remain in tho Humiay-school as long
he lived.
Samuel II. Baynard of the board of
trustees of St. Paul's Church, told of
Mr. Pyle's work for tho church in the
time of great need when the new Grace
church had drawn many of Ht. Paul's
members to it. In the opening of the
conference year of 180» Ht. Paul's
Church was less than half tilled and
the Sunday-school had only five touch
ant! barely enough scholars to give
them work to do. The teachers were
lected and Mr. Pylo as suporinfen
dent and wont to work. Since that time
Mr. Pyle had been the Iifo of the
church. The church people had gone
forward with tho knowledge that Mr.
Pylo whs behind thorn. The speaker
declared that thoy would never find
another man who would do as much and
be as strong at every point as Mr. Pylo
had been.
Medford H. Cahoon spoke briefly fur
the Sunday school. Appropriate selec- j
tions wer»' sung by the choir.
Harry J. Guthrie reud the following,
which had been prepared by the differ
eut bodies of the church :
"Whereas, It has pleased the Hu
r renie Ruler of tho universe to re
Jrothor Joseph Pylo from his lat
earth to his reward in heaven,

"Whereas, In the death of

Tho Wright damage case, which is
now being tried before tho superior
court, bids fair to b»» dotted with ox
ptions, and
court Mondoy
Haulsbury, attorney for the Wilming
ton City Railway ; C'o., appeared in
court and announced that some sub
pirnas in tho case had been duly served
and returned to the pro! houotary's office
from which they had been removed by
the uttorne.vs for the plaintiff, who
fused to return them upon request.
This announcement put the Court
edge at once. Chief Justico Lore de
clared that they had instructed the
prothonotary that
to go out nf his office. Chief
Justice Loro thought that lawyers
not to blaine for following the habit,
but ho held it to be u dangerous prac
tico. Tho Court has already heard of
papers being lost.
Judge Cullen declared that he could
not understand the practice in this
county, lu Sussex county such things
considered records of tho court and
are not allowed to bo taken away.
The Court ordered the return forth
with of tho papers taken out by tho at
torneys. In a few minutes Mr. Sauls
y appeared before tho court with
Alternas Smith of counsel for tho
nlninliff. The Chief Justice stated to
•Mr. Smith that tho Court understood
that certain subpienas served and duly
returned to tho prothonotary hud been
taken from the court against tho order
uf the court.
in reply Mr. Smith stated that he
•lid not huvo the papers, that Mr.
Cooper, the other attorney for tho
plaintiff, was not in his office, but ho
should like to communicate with him.
Judge Lore gave notico to the lawyers
that no records are to go out of the
court without the express permission uf
tho Court.
At this juncture Lewis C. Vaudegrift
addressed the bench. "Suppose wc
want a declaration to look
asked. Judge Lore replied that he must
copy it or get permission to take it nut.
Mr. Vaudegrift thought that would be
a great inconvenience, and ontered a
mild protest.
The Chief Justice declared that tho
much
sit be
breeze was raised in
its account. Willard
of the rocordH
1
or?" ho

city was growing and there
business and the prothonotary
protected. In Philadelphia lawj
cannot take out records. And Mr.
Hilles romqrkod that there you
not get within a mile of them. While
court was still in session Mr. Cooper
arrived, but nothing further was said
in regard to tho subpienas until after
court adjourned when ho spoko with
the Chief Justice.
The HiibpicnaH were returned.
In the prothonotary 's ofllce uttontion
is called to the rule of the court of
January 8th, 1896. that "No record,
document or paper of any kind or de
scription. filed in, or belonging to the
offico of the pruthonotary, shall here
after bo taken from tho «aid ofllce for
any purpose whatever, except upon
order of court. The nrothonotary is
directed to enforce this rule."
Under date of January 13th appears
the following: "Tho above rule was
again announced from the bench, with
the statement that lawyers desiring
copies of papers or records, must copy
in the prothonotary 's office,
pay the prothonotary for certified
copies. "

AMERICAN SURETY CO. VS. RUTH.
a
A DeviHlou ITmlor Which (lid Cans Will lie

Argument was lu-ard in the superior

American Surety Co. vs. William A.

by Hugh C. Browne and II. If. Ward
and the defendant by William S. Hille»».

Among those

and Lewis C. Vaudegrift and J. Ernest
Smith, who aro of attorneys for tho
John Mulvona estate, which, while not
a party to the case, is deeply interested
in it John Muivena was tho contractor
for tho Washington School, and Ruth
was a sub-contractor. In order to
guarantee tho fulfilment of his sub
contract, which was for about $18,000,
Ruth made an arrangement with tho

and it afterwards bo shown that Ruth

liable and would bo without redrew.
From the answer of tho company,

gavo a judgment bond of $5,500 in lieu
thereof.
Before his death, John Muivena
claimed tliut Ruth's contract was not
fully performed, and his legal repri
tative cl-'iras so still. The answer also
alleges that Ruth had failed to pay the
premium of 875 that was due June 15th,
1891, and Juno 15th, 1895. Neither

When tho papers hail been passed

This
question of fact had
been raised and asked the attorneys if
they wished tho court to pass upon
that.
Mr. Ward thought that tho way out
of the muddle
into Chancery, where all tho persons
interested could be present, whereas in
the superior court tho Muivena estate
is not a party. Tiio court, however,
held that the law court was adequate.
Mr. Hijles said that it wan a u
tion whether Ruth had discharged
judgment. His land is tiod up by it
and lie wants it satisfied.
Chief Justico« 1

said that if Ruth
shows that ho has satisfied every con
dition of tho bond it should bo »lis

and sh
cannot get his discharge. Tho Inirdcn

tho same parties tho court made abso
lute a rule by agreement of plaintiff's
counsel to vacate a judgment which
made by Ruth's wife.
Tho Huroty company's position is a
oat peculiar one. It is asked upon
the part or Ruth to relouse indemnity
the ground that tho contract lias
boon completed, but the estate of John
Muivena claims that the contract has

tho court puts the parties in the posi

Thu Houso had undpr consideration
an amendment to the rules, which dis
penned with tho time-horiorcd custom
of hnldiug memorial services in tb«

printing long oulogies in the Congres
sional Record. The friends of the
aiueudiuent argued that the services
jess waste of time, and were
nut appreciated, or looked upon in a
sincere und reverential spirit by the
members. They contended that the
Record should only contain an account
of the actual transactions of the House,
und should not bo filled with long
eulogies, which wero not meant.
During the debate Mr. Willis

in his seat uud made no effort to air
