A NOVEL SUIT.
Judgment for $4,000 for Damages
Resulting from one of Gen.
Prices Raids.
A New way to Pay Ola Debts.
From the St. Louis Times.


A decidedly novel and interesting suit
was determined in the Circuit Court yester-
day, having been on trial for number OF
DAYS. The case is for damages based upon
one of the raids made in 1864 by the Con-
federate forces under the command of Maj
Gen. Sterling Price, the particulars OF
which are as follows:
James Lindsay & Co., claiming to be
good loyalists, were owners and proprie-
tors of a store in Ironton in 1861. One
afternoon, in the fall of 1864, their clerk
was in charge of the store, when news was
brought of the approach of Gen. Price S
army. Thinking discretion the better part
of valor, he left the store and made good
use of his legs. At thattime it was claimed
that there was stock of goods on hand
valued at 81, 900 but after the army had
passed through and the firm had returned,
there was but $500 worth of merchandise
remaining.
After the departure of the clerk, and
prior to the arrival of the soldiers, James
Bess, a resident of Ironton, visited the
store, as he says, for the purpose of purchas-
ing some salt, and no one being present to
wait on him, he removed four sacks with
the intention of paying for them upon the
return of the owners.
Some time ago, James Lindsay Il Co.
brought an action, in Iron county, against
Gen. Price, his staff-officers, and James
Bess, claiming damages in the sum of $780,
600. Bess, fearing he could nOtreceive fair
trial at home, ON account of the prejudice
against him resulting from the war, took a
change of venue to st. Louis, and the case
was tried before Judge Knight and jury.
Precisely the state of facts were shown as
above narrated, and still, strange as it may
appear, verdict for $4,000 was rendered
against Bess, thus charging him with the
full damage from the raid-rather an ex-
pensive bill for four sacks of salt. OF
course, the matter will be appealed to the

WALKING EXTRAORDINARY.
McKetIrick Makes One Hundred
Miles in TWenty-One Hours, One
Minute and Thirty Seconds.
From the Boston Post, october IS

From the Boston Post, october l3.
The walking match at the Skating Rink,
which commenced Monday evening at 9:329,
closed last evening, McKettrick being the
winner. It has undoubtedly been the most
interesting and attractive match that has
ever been decided at the rink. From its
commencement to its close the audience has
at no time numbered less than l., 800 or 2, 900
persons, while last evening it was 5000,
and on the outside of the rink was congre-
gated large crowd, awaiting the result of
the match. The men were well matched
and the contest was exciting there being
no indication as to the result until the
10Th mile Below is given "a short sum-
mary of the time:
At the end of the first 20 miles both
men were even; time, Oh. Pm. 6s., which
includes rest of 40 minutes at the end OF
the eighth mile. Twenty-Five miles were
completed in 5h. en-, including rests; 40
miles in IN. 42m. 30s. A rest of 40 min
utes was now taken, at the end of which
time the start was made, and the 80 miles
completed in lob. 12m. 30s. At the end OF
the 5Sth a rest of one hour and eight min
utes was had, the walk resumed, and the
60 miles were completed In 14h. 1Om. 3Os
Both men now withdrew for a rest. Nc
Ettrick took 80 minutes, at the end OF
which he appeared on the track and
walked , 10-11 miles before Haydock, who
had taken one hour and ten migutes, APP
peared Until this time the match was
undecided, but this advantage was not re-
covered by Haydock. Seventy miles were
made by McEttrick in lGh. Ann. 36s., Hay
dock > 40 miles behind. At the end Of
the 18th he had the same advantage. AT
the end of the 18th there was another rest.
Ninety miles were made by MeEttrlck IN
21h. 29m. 3Os. Haydock at the time was
four miles in the rear. and, after walking
seven miles more, some lessening his for
mer distance, he withdrew from the track,
he being apparently as fresh and comforta-
BILE as was possible under the clrcumstan-
ces McEunck continued his walk, making
his last Ill of mile in 81 seconds, and
the 100 miles in 23h. pm. 3Os., rests in
cluded Whole walking time, 2lh. I'm.
Dos.
The excitement was intense until the
time was announced. Goulding, the trainer
| of McEttrick. then made a few remarks,
stating that this was probably the last time
| McEttrick would appear in hundred mile
| walk. In four weeks from next Monday
evening he would make no miles IN "a
| hours. and until that was concluded all
| challenges were useless. With loud cheers
| the throng then dispersed, but the crowd
| at the entrance remained until McEttrick
took his departure. McEttrick wins the

FEE HARVEST IN EUROPE.

BY mail from Europe we have the follow
ing resume of the harvest prospects pre-
vailing at the great food supply centers on
the first of October, as reported in Paris
The accounts of the harvest in Germany
are very unequal, varying in different dis
tricts from good to far below the average
Weld. On the whole, the grain harvest of
middle Germany was below the average;
that of the Southern States was far better.
From Austria We hear that the yield Of
corn Is considerably smaller than in the
two last years; the same is true of Rouma-
MIA. The Russian harvest is stated to have
been good, and the crops have failed no
where so completely as III some places last
wear. The fodder is everywhere poor, with
the exception of few mountainous dis
tricts. There has been very little clover,
and both the hay and surrogate have been
much injured by the unfavorable weather
On the other hand there has been a good
deal of straw. Both potatoes and beets have
suffered from the heat and drouth of July
and the rain of August. The disease has
also appeared with more orless virulence in
some parts The hopes entertained for the
potato harvest are not, terefore, high; but
II is said that the beet is improving The
hops are said to be in very poor condition,
partly on account Of the weather and partly
from the insects and the disease, which have
appeared in many gardens. Scarcely a
quarter of the usual yield is expected. But
little fruit has been gathered, and what was
is poor in quality. This is particularly the
case with apples and plums.
Nor viii 1869 be numbered among the
select vintages, as the quantity of grapes is
small and their quality inferior.

From all that can learn here this evening,
it is very likely that trial of strength be-

be asked for to put up newb buildings forthe
State and War Departments, and the West

fight the proposition at every stage. The
Western men assert that every additional
dollar expended on Federal works in Wash
ington, viii be made an argument against
removing the Capital. They are deter
mined to furnish no more arguments on
that side. Ben. Butler said tonight that
sensible men would govern themselves as
