A CLOSE CALL.-Last Wednesday
Sllas Rule met with severe accident
and narrow escape from death in the
claim of Rule Bros. on East Weaver
The tunnel from the claim to the creel,
has caused much trouble this Winter bv
continual caving and is now an oman cpt
with the exception of small piece at the
upper end. VIM. and Silas Rule were
engaged in putting a timber or brace in
this piece when large rock of several
hundred pounds weight fell from over
head' just grazing the top of Silas' head
and lntilcting severe and painful bruise.
1t was life or death with him by very
few inches, for had the rock struck him
fairly its great weight must have crushed
him. AS it was he was badly hurt but
considers it very fortunate that under the
circumstances the injuries were no worse.

Is IT POSSIBLE ?-It really seems so.
Do you not see the sun We do sec it.
After II lively snow-storm of about an
hours duration Thursday morning, it
cleared of and the sun made its appear
ance in the afternoon. The night was
clear and cold, little fog Friday morn
ing, and the atmosphere clear, bright and
pleasant by 8 o'clock. That it has at
last cleared off is certain how long it
will remain clear we never can tell. The
rainfall for the past week measures 2.4S
inches, making total for the reason of
52.3l of rain to which must be added 3
inches of snow water. From the l4th
OF January to the 9th of March inclusive,
10 days, 1886 inches of rain and 81 inch
cs of snow fell at this place and during
all that time we believe there were only
three days that it didn't storm sometime
during the "A hours. This storm has
been an unprecedented one in the wealth
er annals of Trinity. 1t will prove of
immense benefit to the gravel mines of
the county, on which every other indust-
fy here depends. We can now enjoy
season Of fine weather without any fear of
drought.

The case of the State VS.. Love Palmer,

Williams, indicted. for Burglary and
Grand Larceny in entering and stealing
900 pounds cotton from the premises of J.
r. Tarrant, Esq, occupied the attentior-o1

The State was represented by Solicitor
Cothran; the defendants Nathan Watson
and Gus Williams were defended by w.
K. Blake, ESQ.,, and Love Palmer and AL.
len Watson, by E. G. Graydon, Esq,
This case presented very unusual compli.
cations. The weight Of the States testi.
mony was derived from the confessions
Of two of the accused, Love Palmer and
Allen Watson, aud the acquittal Of Gus
Williams and Nathan Watson depended
on their relief from the effect Of these
confessions. The fight YVES therefore 8
hand toha1d contest, and managed with
great skill and adroitness by the counsel
for the defence and left little for the States
Attorney to do in reference to the guilt Of
the respective parties. The Solicitor states
to the fury that he had never before in
his experience at the bal met with just
snch a case in that the acquital of any o.
the accused consisted in the conviction q
the others.
After the argument Of counsel the cast
was given to the jury. On the assem-.
bling Of the Court yesterday morning
the jury returned 3 verdict Of guilty Il
to Nathan Watson and Love Palmer.
The case Of W. n. McGarvey, aesins
whom a true bill for murder was found
at the last court, did not come into court
We understand that the Solicitor did no
think there was sufficient testimony, anC
it is also said that affidavits proving ar
