the people of Little Rock did to him. So
they allowed him to preach the truth. they
could ride him out of town On rail. To
show the kind of Christians Little Rock

you. The meanest church in Arkansas is

The decision rendered by the Supreme
Court of Delaware last Saturday ia of inter-
est to employers and employees. The
damage suit of John e Writ VS.. the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, in
which he asked for 81, 600 damages, for in
juries received when he vas car inspector
for that road in September, 1888, was set
tied 10 the Superior Cont, when verdict
was rendered in the railroad compauy's IA
vor. United States Senator Higgins repre-
scented WHIT, while Levi G. Bird appeared
for the company. The most important and
vital point brought about by Associate
Judge Cullen in his charge to the jury, was
the applicability Of the law of masterc and
of fellow servants to this case. II is the
duty of the master, he said, to provide a
safe place, safe materials and skilful work
men. Then, if an injury results through
the act OF an employee, the defendant is
not liable. One employee must assume the
risk of injury at the hands of another. For
instance, if railroad opera tor makes au
error, which causes fellow. workman to be-
come injured, the latter cannot recover
from the company. If, while servant of
railroad company, in running an engine
fellow workman is injured, he cannot re-
cover from the master of the company.
There must be something to show that the
master was deficient in the discharge of his
duties. The case, which has occupied the
attention of the Superior Court for two
weeks, has attracted much attention, aud
the result was awaited with deep interest.

HIS LEG HUNG ON A PIvoT.-John L.
Somerss leg is hung on pivot aud every
doctor in Bridgeport, Conn.,, is at a loss to
describe or how to treat his trouble. Sew
eral weeks ago, while playing lacrosse, he
fell and sprained his knee joint. No danger
was apprehended at the time, and after the
ordinary treatment and an enforced rest for
ten days, be was apparently all right
again. But it wasn't all right Any sud
den movement of the leg or careless step
would send his foot around until the toes
pointed backward, and he presented the
unusual and grotesque spectacle of man
trying 10 walk beth ways at once. The
experience was unpleasant, but not pain
full. MIR. Somers found by experimenting
that he could take hold of his leg and turn
it easily. 1t seemed to be hung on pivot
in the knee socket. The bones of the lower
part of the leg did not leave the socket, but
simply twisted around in it. When the leg
was turned back to its proper position
slight cracking sound would be heard.
Mr.. Somers procured rubber bandage,
such as surgeons use en- sprained ankles,
but this had no effect. The leg continued
to bother him, but it grew no worse, and
he became accustomed to stopping in his
work and turning his heel back to CORES
pond with his other heel. He is a painter
by trade. and the other day, while standing
on a ladder at work, the leg took notion
to turn around again. Mr.. SomeIs fell
fifteen feet to the ground. He is going to
a New York hospital to let some of the
surgeons examine the leg. None of the
profession in Bridgeport seem to be able TO
do anything with it, Or to explain the
trouble.

that the temperature throughout the State

which has had beneficial effect upon all
crops. Except in a few places an average
amount of sunshine has prevailed, which,
with the normal rainfall, has materially as
sisted the growth of corn and tobacco

promising. Wheat is in excellent con-
dition, and is heading out finely; it promi.
ses good yield. Corn is generally prom
ising, and is unusually free from worms
Oats, grass, and fruits are improving and
