SALEM NEWS.
COUNTY COURT.
Arguing the Whisky Selling
Cases.
ROANOKE TINES BUREAU,

HOTEL LUCERNk, SALEM y.
George Simmons was tried yesterday
at the county court for an assault with
intent to kill upon the body of Elem
Wade, colored.
The evidence was to tho effect that
last Christmas day, three colored men
Ben Emerson, Elem Wade and John
Galloway, who were going to a Christ
mas tree at Cave Spring, mot Jim and
George Simmons and j. ii. Peters, not
far from Peters grocery on Back Crock,
near Cave Hill. The first of the trou-
BILE arose by the allegation on the part
of Ben Emerson that a horse which
Peters rode, but which belonged to
George Simmons, was blind.
The crowd with a mutual exchange
of oaths, proceeded to Peters grocery,
and here the quarrel was continued.
Eventually, however, the negroes
rode off toward the place where the
Christmas tree was to be held. On re-
turning in the evening late, between
three and four o'clock, tho negroes saw
a number of horses standing in the road
ahead of them, the riders being dis
mounted. When they rode up to the
place Jim Simmons, who had been called
a liar by Ben Emerson during the quar-
rel near the grocery, made for Emerson,
saying that he wanted to talk to him,
At this time George Simmons advanced
with his pistol drawn, but John Gallo
way caugh6 his arm. Elem Wade then
drew his pistol, when George Simmons
broke away from Galloway and he and
Wade began a simultaneous exchange of
shots. Wade was shot just above the
knee and in tho arm and Simmons fell
with u wound in his foot.
Then Jim Simmons came up to where
his brother had fallen and began to
shoot Wade. who wheeled his horse and
led. Wade was shot in the side by
Jim Simmons, Inc Il ball also lodged n
his coat lining. The crowd with George
and Jim Simmons were Stork Simmons,
Henry Clay Partee, John Redding, and
one Iaz ewood.
Col. 6. w. Hansbrough appeared for
Simmons, and Commonwealth's At
torney L.. C.. Hansbrough for the COM
monwealth.
The jury after being out about five
minutes returned a verdict Of not guilty.
The indictments against a number of
men for selling liquor in Salem without
license, as previously alluded to in THE
TIMES, were called up, and Colonel R..
IL. Logan, attorney for the defendants,
demurred to the summons issued, On
the ground that the summon 8 was based
on one charge, viz, selling liquor with
out license, and the indictments in pur-
suance of which they were issued made
an entirely different charge. After argu-
ment the court decided hat the sum
mons were sufficient.
Upon objection by Col. Logan that
the indictments were defective by rea-
son OF their not stating the place where
liquor was sold, thus making a person
liable for two or more convictions for
n offence, Judge Griffin said: The in
dictmcnt seems to be drawn in accord
ance with one in Savage's case, 81 Va,
5T2, and seems to be sufficient. The
Alexandria case of Arlington VS.. COM
monwealth seems to go far to sustain
the arguments of the defence" His
honor, however, reserves his decision

The majority of well-read phys

words, instead of being in the con-

merable small creatures living in the

eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.

The Foo,,sbuess OF Pride.

1t is astonishing how many things
people find to build their pride upon:

HIS HAND PINNED TO THE TABLE.
A Traveller Relates nm Incident OF Old
Time Etignst.

The custom has not yet entirely been
abolished la some out OF the way ho-
tells OF eiecting some one guest at din
ner to carve for the others at the ta-
BILE.
Forty years ago the practice was tho
rule rather than rarity. Ii was con-
si4cree then in the light of compli-
ment and not as an imposition. us il
would most certainly be regarded to-
day. At that time meu prided them
selves on their ability to disscct joint
or fowl. and accepted the task Of
carving for twenty people most gra-
ciously.
A prominent hardware merchant in
the city. who early ia life travelled for
the house Of which he is now the senior
member. bears testimony to the truth
of the above stated condition Of things
and relates one Of his early experiences
in connection with it as follows:--
Il was travelling from Buffalo To
Detroit by steamer. favorite method
of making that trip in the early days.
At dinner time the captain asked
prominent manufacturer of Troy, N.
T.. to carve for the passengers.
The gentleman thanked the cap
tain for the honor aud proceeded to
carve a wild turkey, which was no
means n rarity in the western part of
this country thirly-iye or forty years
ago.
He carved exceedingly we'll and
was very just in the service of indi-
vidual portions. He helped himself
last and placed on his plate the tid-
bit OF che turkey, which morsel was at
that time considered the carver's
honorSrum.
"As.ae was about to take his seat
men stood to carve wild turkeys then
"a drunken and quarrclsome gambler,
who had caused us great annoyance
with his oaths and opportunities to
| play ever since we had left Buffalo,
reached over from his seat and said:--
Excuse me. sir. but you have on your
plate portion of the turkey of which
/ am very fond
"As he made the remark the black
leg attempted to remove the tidbit
with his fork. The Trojan had not get
surrendered the carving utensils. As
the gamblers hand approached the
morsel the carver made 4 sudden jab
at it with the heavy fork. The prongs
of the latter passed through the flesh
and pinned the gamblers hand to the
table.
1T was rather an unpleasant sight
for dinner table," continued the
speaker. I'VE all expected that the
injured man would resort to his dag.
ger or pistol, but he did not. He
skunk away to his stateroom, where
the wound was dressed. nor did he
venture among the other passengers
during the remainder of the entire
trip
did not the passengers consider the
act excessively brutal?' the gentleman
was asked by his auditor.

The young mans astonishment in
creased. There could he no doubt OF

without much reflection, that If Mr..

some special and mysterious reason for
so doing; unless-which was scarcely
possible-he was of a sentimental dispo-
sition. and, in the manner Of many men
