numerous. This condition of affairs is, Of

THE FORT CASE.
From onr speeial correspondent.

From our special correspondent.
Last evening after a tedious trial
ofsix days duration, the suit brought
by Miss Matte Fort against the L.
& n. r.. r., for personal injuries
inflicted in railroad accident some
four years ago, was brought to q
close, Miss Fort obtaining a verdict
with $4,000 damages. The plain
tiff was represented by the Hon. E.
I. Golladay, of Lebanon, the Hon.
G.. A. Henry, T. l.. Yancy and
J. J. West, of your bar, and Gen.
Broaddus flour own, while the rail
road employed in its defense the
Hon. III. H. LurtOn, Hon. c. @.
Smith, Messrs. VIM. NJ. Daniel and
II. II. Buquo and Messrs. Brandon
and Rice of Dover. The array OF
distinguished lawyers, the parties
litigant, the fearful injuries in
fiicted-a young woman manned
for life-all conspired to arouse in
our community an eager interest in
the case such as has rarely been eX-
hibited in any previous law suit.
All that ability learning and talent
could do was done on each side.
The closing argument for the rail-
road was made by Judge LurtOn-
his first appearance in court since
he retired from the Chancery bench,
which he so much adorned and
on which he won so enviable a repu-
tatiOn as 4 juriSt. Judge LurtOn
addressed himself to two points
alOne-the plea of the statute of
limitations and the liability of
the road, being so well assured
Of the strength of his position as
to foregO all argument as to the
amount of the injury, DC. Every
one was convinced that the railroad
would win until, in a speech of an
hour and half duration, Mr..
GOllady closed the case in behalf of
the plaintiff. Mr.. GOlladay a few
years ago was a member of Congress,
and we had often heard of his elO-
quence and talents but were not al
together prepared for the magnifi-
cent Grafton delivered to the Court
and Jury. Facts and figures, law
and logic, wit and satire followed
one another in such rapid succession
that we were scarcely able to follow,
but only felt that his appeals were
irresistible. In his perOration he
fell upon his knees and appealed to
the law, the Justice and themanhOOd
of Houston county. Mr.. GOlladay
in the conduct of this case added
much to an already enviable repu-
tatiOn as an advocate and a lawyer.
From beginning to end he took the
lead in the case, and to him is due,
without any disparagement to the
other gentlemen who ably assisted
him, the splendid triumph achieved
for Miss Fort. The railroad APP
pealed to the Supreme court and
the court adjourned. Last night
his Honor Judge Rice, who presid
ed during the trial with his usual
dignity, and the attorneys shook
from off their feet the dust of our
little town and betoOk themselves
to their respective homes.

New Law Firm.

The Hon. John r. Goodpasture,
whose record in the House of
Representatives of our State Gen

him, has become a permanent cit

office in partnership. We offer good
wishes to the firm with a strong
conviction that they twill be realized.
He was a GAINESVILLE small boy /;
he had never skated any, but he
"k77eec" he could do it. He stood on
the edge of the pond moment,
looking as proud as a monkey with

rather hurriedly too, and doubled
