The Dispatch has been informed several
times since the latter part OF December
about some points Of proposal for con-
structing narrow-Sause railway from
Sycamore Station. on the Midland road, to
some lands rich in iron ore near the Pigg-
River valley. It seems ut last decided that
the road Is to be bulls, and chat it will run
out from the said station to Orders Mill, in
this county, distance OF about eight miles.
Major r. Z. Mason, the engineer in charge
Of the enterprise, calls for one hundred
hands for immediate service, and 1t is said
that he has made all the usual arrangements
for such work: 1t Is thought that il the
road be run out to Orders Mill thepeople OF
the Pittsylyania border and Of Franklin
county will contribute to an extension OF
the road up into Franklin. The success Of
Major Sutherlin in, the completion of the
Milton-Sutherlin railway may place hope on
the side Of those who enter upon or look
forward to any similar enterprise.
To say that the Milton-Sutberlin road did
not cost over 100000 is not reckoning en-
tirely at random; and this outlay covers
these items: Six and one-half miles of
railway, with a gauge OF three feet; one
Howe-truss bridge over Dan river, three
hundred feet long and covered with a roof
OF tin or galvanized iron; one Howe-trlss
bridge over County-line creek, siXty-two
feet long and covered like the river bridge;
two station-houses, wood buildings, cover
ed with tin, and r0lling-stock consisting Of
one engine, one passenger coach, and four
freigbt-cars. ALPHA.

WILLIAM HoRNER KILLED BY HIS SON-IS-
LAWNS SKULL CRUSHED WITH A STOVE.
POKER.
WASHINGTON, February 20.-This MORN
ing about 81 o'clock the welI-known Will
liam Horner, OF "Horner's- Mixture" no.
toriety, and formerly hackman, was killed
at his residence, No. 1T Virginia avenue,
southwest, by bis son-in-law, Thomas Clax-
ton. The weapon nsed was common
stove-poker. While an alteration was In
progress between the parties this weapon
was lying on the table, and Claxton seized
it and threw it, striking Horner over
the ear, and he fell to the floor and,
soon expired. Immediately after the fatal
blow, CIaxton sent for physician, and two
responded, when CfaXton left the house,
and walking up to Geary's stable, in jack
son-HalI alley. asked Mr.. Geary to go over
to the house and see the extent OF the in
fury to Horner, With view to giving HIM
self up IL 1t was serious. While Mr.. Gearv
had gone on this errand, ClaXton asked
Mr. Tom Croggon foreman for Mr.. Geary)
If it was not best to go to police headquar-
tiers, and be told him it was. The two at
once started to police headquarters, enter
ing the building from the alley running
into Four-and-l-half street. Here ClaNton
surrendered himself to Detectives Miller

UNITED STATES SUPREME CoURT.- Wash
ington, February 1S.--Tbe following deci-
sion was rendered in the Supreme Court to-
day:
No. 745.-Ihe Knickerbocter Life-Insst-
rance Company Us. Norton-Earor TO the
Circuit Court for the Northern District of
INinois.-In this case it is held that where
the agent Of the company bad on previous
occasions extended the time on premium
notes before they matured, with the consent
Of the company, it was proper for the qlles-
ton to be left TO the jury to say whether
such an extension, made by the agent after
the maturity OF note, was competent un-
der the practice OF the company Of whether
the fact that the extension was made after
forfeiture rendered it nugatory. The jury
finding that the extension Of time was au
thorizcd. notwithstanding the note had ma
turcd, the Court is OF opinion that the ver-
dict is within the reason OF the authorities,
showing the readiness OF the courts to seize
hold OF any circumstances that indicate an
election OF intent to waive forfeiture, and
that the objection that the note was already
past due when the agreement to extend it
was made was sufficient to prevent the
agreement from operating as waiver OF
the forfeiture. Affirmed. Mr.. Justice Brad
ley delivered the opinion. Dissenting. Mr..
Justice Strong.

The Strike at the Stock Yards Chicago


Meigs Waite. of Reynolds. was in the
city yesterday afternoon and gave some
interesting points in regard to the late
strike at the Chicago stock yards. He is
one of the heaviest if not the largest live
stock shippers in this vicinity and happened
to be in Chicago with car loads of live
stock at the time. He says the scene beg
CARS description, whole trains of stock we're
on the tracks and no buyers 10 the market.
The two days when SO many hogs were
forced on the market, Waite was there and
bad to sell for what he could get He had
nearly q car loads of stock and had the
market been anywhere near what it was
supposed it would be, he would have
cleared handsome profit, as it was he
lost 10 the shipment about $500, and had
he not been there in person to look after
the matter. the loss would have been
double that amount. He says he has seer
wild times in Chicago markets, but those
few days we're the worst in bis experience
| Hogs may advance a little. he thinks, bu
only the best grades can bring full quoted
prices 10 market reports. Mr.. Waite il
good authority IN live stock matters and
being conservative man 10 market ven
lures, his judgment is reliable. We trus
he will have better luck next time.
