On Saturday afternoon last. Justice
SHREDDER gave judgment against Speaker
John G Carlisle to the extedt of $50.
The suit was brought by William E.
Chaffee, and the cause therefor was
found in smashed wagon, iorn coat
and scared man, ali the deadly
work of the pole of Mr. Ca,lisle's

came to the conclusion that so would
be about the correct thing and he so
decided.
COL. NJ 'CACLL.
Few men of Al years of age have had
more varied, yet always successful,
career than the man whose opera COM
pany has delighted thousands of people
in this city during the past week-CCj.
John A. McGaull. The place of his
birth is down in Southern Virginia, and
the colonel thinks there is no !ovelier
region under the sun than that fertile
section. When only boy he
,nl sted in the Confederate army and
served with conspicuous gallantry. He
first became prominent, however, in
1869, when he was elected a member of
the Virg MIA Legislature. He was soon
recognized as General Mahone's right
hand man a. d he rendered valuable

the numerous railrCa schemes which

voted himself to practicing law and

ability brought him large cllente
but he was not satisfied: he haa
not found his tru" vocation. Through all
his life he had tas e for theatricals.
and finally when a friend suggested
that he would be q good manager it
struck the colonel that there was his

the road. He is as good looking as ever
and the grey eyes twinkle just as mer-
rIly as they did when he was careless,
raggedly clad liehthearted soldier of the
Confederacy He never forgets friend
and many Of his old comrades have had
reason to remember the almost extra
