Two Lawyers and VHcir Clients G'urn
Justices Oilrc Into ii Prize King.
At about midday Oh Saturday, aud within
earshot OF the city hall, stirring episode in
legal life took place. THE REPUBLICAN will
relate the facts without giving the names Of
the actors in the dramatic performance. Two
legal lumiunros, well known and highly
respected ag the district bar, were opposing
counsel iu 70 case which was in progress OF
trial before one Of the just ices who hold
forth in tho locality horeinbslYrg mentioned.
Everything had progressed in the manner
a5 customary IN such eases up to the tirno
that Che counsel for the defendant got the
client OF him for the prosecution on the witt
ness stand. This client who i5 q weil-knOWn
business man, he bldgerol considerably, and
the counsel for tho prosecution entered nu-
ucrOus objections Tho counsel for the defense,
who is nothing II not combdtvo persisted
ia his course, AMI, reaching over, he took
ono Of the papers in Che ease from in front Of
his learned brother for the prosecution. lie
of the prosecution Immediately demanded
tho return Of the document, but the gentle
irgn Tor the defense di5duiuod even to reply
t. this demand. This aroused che latent ire
ot.he prosecution and ha arose aud mado u
yr..sp Ton the coveted toolsCap. The defense
eluded bin and the prosecution changed
The objective point from the paper to his OPP
poncnt'5 throat. The defense then entered u
lorGib.e objection in the shape Of right
handler, which Aoored the pro ccution, and +,
further, brought him of tho defense down on
,op Of his legal adversary. The cl.rnt of the
prosecuting counsel went to the assistance OF
| his attorney, and the defendant in the case a
well known phyjiUan, concluded to help
out his side in the case. Ii
now looked like carnage in
earnest. The learned counsel were
| giving an exhibition in acrUbatic skill
on the floor, and tho two Interested clients
were in close contact above them. Just at
| this point fortunate Interference came from
| the judge and witnesses and tho bolligcrouts
were separated. However, when the attor-
ncy for the dctenso attempted to rise it was
| found that no had suffered severe injury u
| his ankle, which may demand considerable
surgical aid. II is said that all has now been
amicaby arranged, and tho BlandcnsJurg

Among the Churches.

Easter Sabbath was generally OBJ
served in the several churches. At
Wesley church, in the morning, Rev.
Ofley, of Wilmington, North Caro-
lima, preached an interesting and in
structive sermon. Prof. VIM. How
ard Day delivered a very appropriate
prayer. Special exercises were held
by the Sabbath school in the after
noon, and a special sermon was de-
livered by Rev. T. q. Pearsall.
Among those participating in the
exercises were Mrs. X. Burton, Mrs.
A. A. Amos, Mrs. E. johnson, all of
whom read appropriate selections.
Mrs. G. M. Robinson sang sweetly
and touchingly "Jesus Lover of My
Soul" A Duet by Ella Harley and
Jennie Harris was admirably sung.
At the close of the exercises a grand
rally was made by the school, which
added a nice little sum to the treas
ury.
Rev. Wilson presided at Bethel
church. Communion being held in
the evening, the attendance was very
large and the singing of the choir
unusually good.
Both the Second Baptist and Pres
byterian churches were well attended
and held special services.
