mo; what's the matter?' queried the
reporter.
''Well, you know the Merchants Pro-
tective Association agreed not TO buy
meal OF a mill that sold in less quantity
than ten bushels, or five sacks. The En-.
pire and the City Mills have gone into the
agreement, and Monday the small dealers
and people who had been buying meal
direct from the mills became very
much exercised over the matter.
1t was regarded as an attempt 10
force them to buy meal from the larger
dealers, if not at greater cost, al much
more inconvenience. The Knights Of La
Dor took the matter in hand and sent a
committee up to Clapp's to make special
arrangements with the mill there. They
returned and reported that satisfac orv
arrangements had been made, and last
night the Knights of Labor at my assem-
bly, were instructed to buy no meal except
that ground at the Clapp MILL"
Owing to the lateness OF the hour at
which the reporter had the conversation
with the Knight Of Labor who gave this
information we were unable to investi-
gate the matter further and give fuller de-
tails.

AGAINST THE RAILROAD.
The GAINESVILLE Suit Against the
Central Won by the Plaintiff.
From the Griffin (Ga.) Sun.

From the Griffin (Gd.) Sun.
One of the most important cases ever
brought before juryin this country came
up in Pike Superior Court last week, The
case was the much talked-of suit OF the
merchants of GAINESVILLE against the Cen
trial railroad, for loss by fire nearly two
years ago; said fire claimed to have origi-
mated from spark from Central rail-
road engine. 1t will be remembered that
by this fire about one-half the business
houses of GAINESVILLE were destroyed, TO-
gether with several dwelling houses and
other buildings.
The case was one OF vital Importance,
since it was determined whether a rail-
road was responsible for the destruction of
a town; important to the railroad on ac-
count OF the large amount involved, and
important to the locality for the same
reason. There was only one case tried,
which involved only $3,500, there being
| about fifty cases in all, involving a very
! large sum. The case which came up was
j. f. Taylor & Co., who sued for damages
| to the amount of $4,000. The array OF
| counsel on each side was composed of the
| best legal talent In the State. The coun-
| sci for the plaintiff comprised all the law
yers in BarnesvlIle, together with Col h.
| +. Dupree, OF Tebulon; Judge A. M.
| Speer. of Atlanta, and Col E. w. Beck. of
Griffin. Those who represented the rail-
! road were Gen. A. r. Lawton, of Savan-
! nan; Judge John |. Hall, Judge John D.
| Stewart and J. J. Hunt, of Griffin; L. b.
| Cabaniss, OF Forsyth, and j. S. Pope, of
| Zebulon. The jury retired Saturday
morning and remained IN consultation
about twelve hours, finally returning a
verdict of $1,000 for the plaintiff. The
trial occupied from Monday morning
until late Saturday night.
! The leading feature Of the case was as
| to whether the fire originated from Cen
trail railroad engine, or was caused from
| a match in the hands of small boy.
! Testimony was introduced to sustain
both sides. Upon the question of the
origin OF the fire, public opinion is dIversi-
| fed, and it would seem from the length of
time the jury consumed in forming YER
dict that they too were m doubt as to the
real cause.
Exceptions were taken at the verdict
by counsel for defense and a motion made
for new trial, which will be heard by
His Honor Judge BOynton on Aug.7.
There are about fifty cases more of same
nature against the Central railroad, and
Judging from the length OF time occupied
in this one, it will take about twelve
months to hear them all.

Lost Her Mind.

From the NelCB1f3 (Gd A d0ertjser.
Ella Neal, a yellow negro girl living
near the Carrollton depot, has peculiar
malady that is creating no little excite
ment among the colOred people of New
man. She is one of the most industrious
laundresses in town, and through both
winter and summer she can be seen every
day bending over her wash tub out in the
yard. Whether she has caught severe
cold or become Overheated no one seems
to know, but for the past few weeks she
has been acting strangely at times,
claiming the witches are after her, and
again that Sam Jones, the noted revivalist,
has sent for her to go and Join him in his
religious work. About three or four
weeks ago she embraced religion, under
going radical change in her department,
since which time she talks OF nothing
else. Last sunday she went to the col
Ored Baptist church here in Newman,
went up into the pulpit while service was
going on and proclaimed her right to
preach the gospal. Leaving the pulpit
she went down among the male members
and began shouting and huggng the
members Unfortunately, seemingly I'M
der heavy burden ofreligiOus enthusiasm.
Finally they had to take her away from
church, carrying her home, where with
her parents she still kept up yelling, call
ing on the Lord 10 drive the evil spirits
away from her. Yesterday morning
about O'Clock she rushed out into the
street in dshabille, carrying her clothes,
snuff box and shoes in her hand, eXclaim-
ing that Beelzebub was after her, and that
she was going to take the train to hunt
Sam Jones, who hadfs for her. She
was caught at the depot by some friends
and carried back home. When her mother
came up towards her, she seemed to think
that she was going to hurt her again and
ran Off. Finally she was conveyed home,
where they will be compelled to contne
her until the authorities take her case in
hand.
