The Girl He Kissed.

a young LAWYER, who has been recently
married to a beautiful belle. was made the
victim of a malicious anonymous letter that
might have resulted seriously to his domestic
happiness. Ii seems that the Young man has
made an enemy of man who has an office so
near that h can at times overlook his move
ments. A few days ago the young mans
bride received an anonymous letter saving I:
GAS new a groom your husband ought not
to have Young lady call on him in his Of
fee, and he ought not to take her in his arms
and kiss her. Wednesday, IL is A. NJ"
The young wife was almost heartbroken
She cried until her eyes were red and when
her lord came home upbraided him bitterly
She showed him the letter, and as he didn't
have any explanation hut denial. matters
began to look very interesting around bis
home. lie couldn't think who would tell
such talsehood about him, and he started
down town in a very moody condition. As he
sat in the corner of the car brooding over his
trouble, an idea suddenly struck him 1t had
the same effect on him as is he had sat dows
on pin. 10 an instant he was running at
at full speed homeward, while the passengers
in the car were congratulsting themselves on
their narrow escape from dangerous lunatic
Bursting into his wife's room he fairly danced
with delight as he exclsimek: Don't YOU re-
member? You were in my office Wednesday
morning: you were the Young woman I
kissed." Peace now reigns, but he had a

Fhe Judgment OF the City Court Re
versed by the Supreme Court.
The following decision in the case of
Hazard against the city, announced in
The NEWS yesterday, was handed down
from the Supreme Court on Tuesday, re-
versing the judgment OF the City Court
granting a new trial:
On the first trial OF this case a verdict
was found for 50 coo; a new trial was
granted, and this grant was affirmed. this
court remarking that the case for the
plaintiff was a weak one. On the second
trial, the jury found for the plaintiff
S3.IOe. Another new trial was granted,
and again the Judgment was affirmed,
this court saying that moderate verdict
might be allowed to stand, but, inasmuch
AS the amount OF the first verdict had
been increased in the second, the grant Of
the new trial would be sustained. On a
third trial, the jury found for the plaintiff
81 400. The court again granted new
trial, and announced that he would do so
continuously and indefinitely, because.
in his judgment on the facts, there could
be no recovery:
Held, that this was error. there being
evidence on which the verdict could be
based. and this being the third finding for

Negro Laborers Scatter.

NF0Ha sfe0 BtfftthttetNf kfatNst - 80
Tuesday night seventy-fye negros
landed in this CITY from Atlanta to work
on the Georgia Pacific railroad extension
works. The negroes were from South
Carolina and Georgia, and had been sent
here by contractors to work on the forty
two mile gap. Their destiny was Coal
burg. When the negroes arrived they sud
denly slipped away from the man who had
them in charge. They are now separated
and scattered about the city. The cause
OF the queer action OF the negroes is some
what sensational. They say that the con-
tractors promised to pay 81 % per day for
labor, give them house TO live Ia and a
drink of whisky every day. When the ne
groes reached the city some one told them
that they would be paid only goo. a
dap for labor, and they would have TO pay
soc. day for house rent; that the con-
tractors would take them 100 miles in the
woods and leave them to be eaten up by
wild beasts, and that out there the white
men lived on the little negroes
that were brought out to the works. And
as for whisky drop was never seen IN
that community Tais so frightened the
ignorant darkies they refused to leave the
city, saying they had much rather starve
in town than live on pine tops and run the
risk Of being eaten up by wild animals.
How the negroes can be gotten together
again is a mystery.
