John: B. Tyson. Mr. Tyson resides near Principio, and in June. 1885 received $780, which he placed in a jar and concealed in a closet at his home.

The plaintiff Florence Love was in his employ as a domestic at the time. One morning in October, Mr. Tyson discovered that $435 had been abstracted from the jar, and according to the testimony of the plaintiff openly accused her of the theft, which she did not commit, and even had her trunk searched at the home of her father Robert Love. The plaintiff alleged that Mr. Tyson spoke to her concerning the case, in the following manner: "I have missed some money and I have come up to see you about it.

I had seven hundred and eighty dollars in a glass jar and four hundred and thirtyfive dollars have been taken and the balance left. There was nobody about the house to take it but you and the suspicion lays on no one else, but you. As soon as I missed it I told my wife that there was nobody else to blame it on but you." Because of this accusation the plaintiff sued for $10,000. The defendant claims that the action he 4. took in the case was not as the plaintiff claims any accusation but that he went to her fathers home to interview her in the matter, not to accuse her, and that any words uttered in the way implied, were delivered to the plaintiff personally.

and that he did not report the matter around. Florence Love in giving her testimony said: "Mrs. Tyson and I had cleaned out the closet. I told Mr. Tyson that I knew nothing of the disappearance of the money.

He threatened to have me arrested but Joe Simmer persuaded him out of it. Others at Mr. Tyson's house were his sou and daughter, the latter being away considerable of the time. There was also a hired boy there who slept in the house, and there were numerous visitors of the family. When they came up to search my trunk my mother and myself were home.

Joe Simmer came in and told me to go out, that Mr. and Mrs. Tyson wanted to sen me. I started out. Mrs.

Tyson said, I come up with a very serious charge; it was greatly against my will to Mr. Tyson asked me it I was satis. fled to have Joe search my trunk and I said I was. but Joe refused to do it." The plaintiff's witnesses were: Lavinia Love, Florence Love, Egenton Love, Blanche Hasson, Robert J. Love.

Defendant's witnesses: Sarab E. Tyson. John Ben Tyson, Joseph Simmer, Sarah Tyson. Mr. Tyson in his testimony said that he went over and interviewed Miss Love simply to inquire as to whether she had any knowledge about the money and did not accuse her of the theft.

The point made by his counsel was that his course was what is termed a privileged communication. Mr. Tyson was defended by Messrs. William S. Evans and George A.

Blake, Esqrs. Albert Constable, and Albert Constable, repregented the plantiff. The jury in the case retired at twelve yesterday, and at 3 o'clock rendered a verdict of 85 for the plaintiff. LIVE STOCK SUIT. The next case called was the civil suit of Jesse Webb against Howard Bradley.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION. A Second Convention Will Be Held in Elkton 011 Thursday, September 29. Evidences That the Democratic Organization is Far From United and Harmontous. Mr. Steele Doubtless Forced Out.

The Democratic party in this Congressional district is evidently far from united and harmonious, and another indication of the many influences which are pulling in every direction within it was the declination of Mr. Nicholas W. Steele, of Carroll county, to stick AS the Congressional nominee, 88 named at the convention in Elkton on Wednesday of last week. A second convention has been decided upon to be held In Elkton on Thureday, September 29, for the purpose of accepting the declination of Mr. Steele and to cast about for another nominee.

Who that will be is, of course, yet in the dark, although the name of Hon J. Fred C. Talbott has again been boomed, and ex-State Senator Thomas B. Hayes is looming up, out of the background of discontent, forgiving but not forgetting the rude way in which his Gubernatorial boom was once cast aside. And again in the two Baltimore City wards in this distriot a movement has been started in favor of Mr.

Olin Bryan, possibly because his name will tickle the Silverites. Since the hour the name of Mr. Steele was brought forth there was kicking among certain classes of the Democratic leaders, and strong opposition was brought to bear against him go that his withdrawal is doubtless the accession to a request to "get out 88 easy a8 possible." The ascribed cause is business, the following letter being published, so it is rumored, to give the affair a shade of respectability: HAIGAT, Sept. 21. HON.

MURRAY VANDIVER. CHAIRMAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. MY DEAR SIR: At the Democratic convention of the Second Congressional district, held in Elkton September 14 1898, I had the honor to nominated for Congress, and at the time for several days thereafter it hand was my intention to accept the nomination and make an active canvass before the people of the district. I have, however, ascertained through a letter, which I herewith enclose, from Mr. Henry A.

Parr, president of the Oakland Manufacturing Company, which I represent as manager. stating that such 8 campaign as above described will materially interfere with my business arrangements with my company, and that its interests will greatly suffer if I take upon myself the labor of a political canvass. I am, therefore, compelled by reason of these consideratione, and no others whatever, to decline the nomination, but will pledge my earnest support to the nominee when made at the reassembling of the convention.
