In East Africa they have found fifty languages, In

have no idea yet how many languages are spoken ln

counted fifty. Their missionaries and agents arc

CIRCUIT COURT.
Close of the April Term Yes
terday.

tuesday afternoon the April term of
the Roanoke circuit court came to a
close. The next term commences June 5.
The day was mostly occupied in
finishing up routine business. In tho
case of w. G. B. Fitzgerald versus L.
Il. and e. e. Bachman, tho court de-
cided that the mechanics lien should be
cut down one half as a compensation for
defective work. Hansbrough IL Hans
brough appeared for the plaintiff and
w. NJ. Montgomery appeared for tho de-
PENDANTS. The case of the Salem Hard
ware Company, also Adams, Clements &
Co., versus l.. f. billiard and S. M.
Martin, was submitted to Judge Rlair
for decision. w. NJ. Montgomery APP
peared for plaintiff; Col. r. Ii. Logan
and Hansbrough e Ransbrough for the
defendants.
The demurrer in the case of J. R.
Torbert vs.. Mrs. Coombs was partly
overruled, the plaintiff being given
leave to amend his bill. The demurrer
as to the acknowledgement of the me-
chanicS' lien was not sustained, Judre
Blair expressing his opinion that, while
the question was doubtful one, vet he
did not think that under the new law
the same was required. Upon motion
of the defendant this case was referred
to jury at the next term, as the evil
dence is conflicting. The suit was in
stituted by Torbert for the purpose of
recovering $4,000, the balance claimed
to be due upon Hotel Belmont, situated
on the boulevard.
The claim is, however. contested on
the ground that the material is so in
ferior and the workmanship so bad that
the defendant is damaged to the amount
OF at least $1,000, some of tho rooms be-
ing unfit for occupancy. Dispositions of
several experts have been taken on both
sides and an interesting case may be ex
pected Hansbrough 4 Hansbrough APP
peared for the plaintiff and Logan t&
Montgomery for the defense.
Tho case of II. j. Franklin versus the
Salem Building Association which was
instituted for tho purpose of setting
aside the sale of house and lot at
Vinton for tho benefit of the Salem
Building Association, was postponed
until next term. The attorneys in the
case are j. Crumpecl1er for the plaintiff
and Col. Logan for the defense.
In the case of Morgan & Wells versus

ment of mechanics lien, decree for
the sale Of tho house was granted. M.

~ JURYMAN DEAD.

The Strain ,Of the Schneider Trial Was
Too Much for James Cooper.
WASHINGTON, April Special]-
James w. Cooper, one of the colored
jurors who served in the Schneider
murder trial, died to-day from mental
and physical exhaustion. He was a
robust man and accustomed to out of
door life. The long confinement and
mental strain told on him severely and
when he was discharged no had lost
over thirty pounds. Tho trial lasted
thirtv-two days and ended last Satur-
day in averdict of murder in the first de-
gree. Young Schneider, after main.
tanning throughout the entire trial an
air Of confidence and bravado, has col
lapsed utterly since his conviction and
seems likely to die or lose his mind.
