Judge Irwin, one of the early justice,
in Wisconsin, was more remarkable for
his hunting adventures than fof his
legal knowledge. The lawyers who
argued their cases before him were
often compelled to put over their work
while the judge adjourned court in or
der to go hunting. The following
chargewas given by him to a jury in
1871.
1T appears from the evidence that
the plaintiff and defendant in this action
are brothers-in-law. On the Wabash
river. in the state Of Indiana, they asso-
ciated themselves together for the pur-
pose Of swindling their neighbors. Not
content with that they got to swindling
each other, and am like the woman
who saw her husband and the bear fight:
Fight, husband, fight, bear; l don't
care which beats"
And, gentleman of the jury, it is q
matter Of Indifference to me how you
bring in your virdict, only be quick
about it."
Five minutes after the jury had re-
tired the sheriff was instructed to see il
they had agreed. A negative answer
was returned: whereupon the jury was

The entrance to the vault, remembered,

the keeper Of the cemetery passing by

aims of the best iron and coal in the
world, together with its superior rail-
way facilities gives to Greenville pre-
cedence over any city in the great state
of Texas. Coupled with this wish to
add Greenville is fortunately situated
in the immediate path OF all the pro-
jected short lines of railway, Galveston
on the south aud Kansas City ana st.
Louis to the north, and is designated
the division and distributing point Of
all these roads. 1t is at present the
most important shipping point on the
great NJ. K. & T. railway system, which
company have consummated arrange
nents centering all their car and ma
chine shops here and making this the
central city of their system OF railways.
The NJ, K. & T. railway shops, to
cost not less than seventy-fiye Thousand
dollars, have been located here, and
when completed will give employment
to eight hundred men. In addition to
this expenditure the company will also
build q new passenger depot TO cost
twenty thousand dollars and a railroad
hospital to cost at least twenty-five
thousand dollars; build new yards and
switches to cost forty thousand dollars
and make other substantial and costly
improvements to accommodate the ex-
tensive business of their several lines
entering this city.
The above named improvements, to-
gether with the business Of the general
offices of the NJ, K. & T. railway com
pany, to be moved here in few months,
will add about four thousand people to
the population OF the city and will give
to at least one thousand
men. The pay roll of the men who will
receive their pay at this place will
amount to over one-half a million dol
lars per annum.
A new short line Of railway will be
built during the present year from
to Galveston. giving the
city q more direct connection and bring
ing it 100 miles nearer deep water than
it is by the lines in operation at pres

passenger and freight depots.
The Mineola branch will also be ex-
tended south and east through the
great forest of timber and mountains of
the best iron in the world. This extern
sion will be of great importance to the
manufacturers at Greenville, also to the
railway company, as it will provide su-
perior facilities for procuring lumber
and iron for the factories, car and ma
chine shops, and for other purposes, at
a low price. A thirteen-foot vein of
coal recently discovered, lies few miles
south of Greenville, on the line of the
NJ, K. & I. railway; several carloads of
which have been shipped to the city,
and those who have used it pronounce
it an excellent quality of coal 1t can be
delivered here in small lots at two dol
lars per ton, and to manufacturers at a
much lower price.
A company of eastern capitalists have
been testing the iron of eastern Texas
with satisfactory results and now con-
template locating a large car wheel
foundry in this city to manufacture car
wheels and other castings for several
extensive systems of railway. The mas
ter mechanic of the NJ, K. & T. at Par
sons has given severe tests to wheels
made from iron procured in east Texas
and pronounces them ''the best of any
make in use." To the date of his re-
port a trial set of these wheels had run
9S,0 900 miles without single evidence
of break. He says $1,000 miles is q
good run for any other make of wheel.
These wheels have also been tried on
the Texas Pacific with the same good
results, and Superintendent Elliott saws
they are the best wheel made" TWEEN
ty-five hundred of these wheels are also
in use on the l. & G. N, and not one
has yet broken, and their work is con-
sidered marvellous. The plant to be
built here will employ from 300 to 500
men.
Another company of capitalists have
had representative here for several
weeks contemplating arrangements to
build a plant in which to manufacture
all kinds OF woodwork, including pas
senger coach, sleeping car and street
car bodies. also a newly patented, much
improved dining car. 1t is said the
last ramed company will cooperate
with the car wheel concern and the two
will fill special contracts for all kinds of
