LEG BROKEN FIRE IN TIE COUNTY JAIL
LECTURE AN INDIGNANT PosTMAsTER-wEA-
TIER.
correspondence of the Richmond Dspatch.1
LOUISA COURTHOUSE, Va,
February "a, 1876.
Our townsman and distinguished physi.
clan. DR.. Z. l.. Barrett, met with serious
accident a dav or 80 ago. He was on his way
TO see patient, w ben the horse he was riding
fell down, catching one of his legs under
him, and breaking one bone of the same,
also fracturiug another. He was taken to a
house near by, and is now being attended
by q physician. 1t is hoped he may soon re-
cover.
About half.past O'Clock yesterday morn
ing fire-aarm was sounded. The fire was
in the county Jail. by proper eXertions OF
the citizens it was soon eXtineulshed. A
negro man set it afire with the intention OF
burning his way out, and came near being
burned up himself. In the cell above there
was negro woman, who came near being
sutfocated by the smoke before she could be
gotten out. The building is insured In the
Old Dominion Company. Of Richmond, for
y 500. 1t is thought $50 will repair da-
IMAGES.
Rev. DR.. Granbery, Of Richmond, deliv.
cred his celebrated lecture on "The No
bodies " in the Methodist church last night.
Owing to the rainy weather his audience was
not large. Every one liked the lecture very
much.
On the 10th of next month the Rev. j. E.
Edwards, Of Richmond, will deliver lee
turc in the same churcn.
1t was stated in this correspondence a
short time since something about moving the
post.ofhce so often. Il was of course said IN
fun, but the postmaster became insulted at
il. However, it doesn't make any difference.
He has right to be insulted, and he can
stay so until-he gets pleased.
Weather quite rainy. MACKENZIE

LsscHBURG, February 25.-There has bee
an almost incessant and heavy rainfall henc
to East Tennessee from Tuesday noon to l
O'Clock this morning. All the streams i
Southwestern Virginia and East Tennessee
are greatly swollen.
Considerable damage has been done to th
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio, and East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia railroads, ant
,E;more Is anticipated. ss-r
Two spans of the large bridge across tn
Holston, at Charleston, have been carried
away, and serious apprehension is entertain
ed that the large Strawberry Plains bridge
east Of Knoxville, may again be swept from
its piers. Two bridges across the Roanoke
between Salem and Christiansburg are dam
aged so that trains cannot pass over then
until the stream subsidies. Other but un
important damages have been sustained by
the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad
between Salem and Bristol, in the shape oil
| land.slides and washed embankments, the
Holston being over its banks near Seven.Mile
Ford and Glade Spring, submergins the
road-bed at various points.
The james river commenced rising here
yesterday evening and continued to rise
slowly until about 10 O'Clock this morning,
when it commenced rising more rapidly,
gaining Some twelve or fifteen inches per
hour for several hours.
Blackwater creek flushed with charac-
teristic rapidty about the same time, and
soon swept the dam at the Atlantic, Missis-
sppi and Ohio, Railroad carpenter-shops from
its foundation and tore away the piers and
trestIe-work supporting the middle Of the
covered bridge, just above the dam, de1iect-
ing the centre Of the bridge very materially
and rendering it unsafe.
At this hour % oclock) the James is from
ten to twelve feet above its ordinary level
and rising at the rate of about six inches per
hour. 1t is not thought, however, that it
will 90 much higher, as the rainfall appears
not to have been as heavy east as west Of the
Allegheny.
Ten O'Clock p. M.-The river is now
rising slowly, and has increased but two or
three feet since O'Clock. There is no pros
pect of much additional rise. The weather
is now clear with high wind.
Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.I
CovISGToN, VA. February 25.-1t has
been raining in this section, with some
ntermssion, for forty-eight hours. The
snow has disappeared. Jackson's river is
higher than at any time since 1861, and still
rising. From intelligence brought BY the
latest train it is presumed the same is true of
the Cowpasture and Calfpasture rivers.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD SCIT-TERRIToRIAI
EQUITY JURISDICTION OF UNITED STATES CIR
CUT CoURTS.-A case involving large
amount of money and some very interesting
questions was on trial yesterday In the
United States Circuit Courtroom before
Judge Bond, who held the United States
Circuit Courts of North Carolina and South
Carolina, by consent Of parties, in this city.
The case was that Of the Richmond and
Danvlle Railroad Company against The
Atlanta and Richmond Airline Railway
Company. The hearing was on a mo-
lion on the part of the tirst'mortgase
bondhollers 10 have the present receiver
Of the road in North and South Carolina
removed, and the receiver who was appoint
ed in suit brought by the bondholders in
| the United States Circuit Court in Georgia
appointed in his stead. The first mortgage
bonds amount 10 over four millions OF dol
| lars, and large number are held in Baltl
more and the rest in New York.
The questions argued yesterday were upon
the Jurisdiction Of the courts OF equity OIL the
State where a corporation resided to control
real estate belonging to it without the terri
torial jurisdiction of the court, and whether
one corporation could be Incorporated by
several States.
This case will determine the question
whether, pending the foreclosure of the
mortgage, the control Of the road shall be in
the hands Of the present officers or under
that of the bondholderS.
The Atlanta aud Richmond Airline rail-
way Isl part Of the Pennsylvania railroad
combination in the Sonth, and extends from
Charlotte, n. c., to Atlanta, Ga, and is 2GO
miles in length.
The counsel for the bondholders are eX'

railroad, MesSrs. Theodore Cuyler and How
ard, of Philadelphia, Of the counsel of the
Pennsylvania railroad; Hon. Hunter Mar
shall, OF Richmond, and United States Dis
! trict-Attorncy Earl, of South Carolina.
! The opening argument was made by Skip
with Wilmer, Esq; after which the various
| COUNSEL engaged asked the court 10 adjourn
I until to-day to give them time to hold con-
suIlalion in the case, which was accorded.
