Gathering Evidence Against senay

0athering Evidence Against Senay.
Interest in the Senay case continues
undated, but everyone is anxious that
he should have fair trial, hoping that,
if guilty, he will get all that the law
allows. The prosecution claim to be
able to bring reliable witnesses who saw
him on the train coming to Roanoke,
others who saw him in Roanoke Thurs
day night; besides which, Mr.. Knepp,
the livery stable keeper who hired him
the buggy in Roanoke, and the colored
driver who took him to and from Salem
at the time of the fire, have both iden-
titled Senay as the man with whom they
had dealings.
Mrs. Senay returned yesterday with
several written atfidavits setting forth
where her husband was Thursday, but
as these are valueless and as the wit
nesses themselves will have to be sum-
moned, the case has been again adj
journed till Friday, whilst Senay has
the mournful privilege of occupying the
dungeon cell from which Charles Wat
kins went out to meet his doom that
cold, bright morning last January.
According TO III accounts SenaY spent
nearly year behind the prison bars in
Pennsylvania for hideous ofiensc, and

The Horton and Hays Hay Trade Did'n
Pan Out PrOpitiousIy.

The Horton and Hays Hay Trade Didn't
Pan Out Propitiously.
Gurdine Horton and Frank Hays
were convicted of petty larceny by a
jury in Justice Austin's court. They
met man named Gevaudan, who had
load of hay for sale. and by promising
to pay b i'm $8 rs ton for it at their
wood and feed corral, at the corner of
Seventh and Pearl streets, got him to
deliver the same to Mr.. Buddinger, pro-
prietor of the Panorama stable. Horton
and Hays had previously made arrange
ments with Buddinger to deliver 40 tons
OF hay to him, at So per ton. As soon
as the two swindlers had received the
money at the Panorama, they COM
menced game of hide and seek with
their victim, which terminated only
when he caught one of them in buggy
and threatened to call the police. This
was Hays who lost no time in making
himself scarce. Later ne went to the
chief of police and charged Gevaudan
with stealing his buggy and horse.
Chief Glass promptly placed Hays un-
der arrest, and that of Gurdine Horton
little later. The dishonesty
OF the two prisoners was we'll estab-
lished by Prosecuting Attorney Diehl,
and, as result, they were convicted at
the first ballot of the jury. Justice
Owens will sentence the two men today.

for those introduced to breed, am con-
fident that next spring and summer
they will be abundant, and colonies can
then be furnished to growers throughout
the state.
The unprecedented success Of the
vedalia has caused fruit growers and
others to expect immediate and similar
results from all of the new insects, but
as the chalybeus and Australasia have
only three generations, the increase will
be slower, but l feel satisfied that the
final result will be equally as satisfactory
as the vedalia. For the present, orch
ardists having trees infested with red
scale should not neglect spraying or
fumigatlng this fall. so that their fruit
will be clean and merchantable and the
trees saved for the present from the per-
nicious effects of the pest.
Mr.. Koebele has reviewed this report
and concurs in the same.

gCourt Notes.

Yesterday, in the United States-dis-
trict court, a nolle prosequi was entered
by the United States district attorney
in the perjuryscases against 81. G. Beck
ley and George W. Beckley, and the de-
fendants were discharged. The dis
missal was caused by the inability of
the government to procure material wit
nesses who reside in Mexico.
Judge Van Dyke yesterday set aside
the default in the case of the Southern
Pacific company VS.. Townsend, allowed
the plaintiff fifteen days to file an
amended complaint, and made the Big
Rock Greek Irrigation district, assignee
of the defendant, party to the suit.
Judge Shaw yesterday appointed J. 7.
Newkirk assignee in the insolvency case
of w. w. and E. Patterson, fixing the
assignee's bond at 500.
Yesterday Judge Shaw granted final
discharge in the Insolvency proceedings
of A. J. Gwynne.
Bartholomew Aberle, native of Ger
many. was yesterday admitted to citi-
zsnship by Judge Clark.
The new grand jury met yesterday,
and during the afternoon went in body
to the county Jail, which they inspected.

Mrs. Kelly Wants Damages.

Yesterday Mrs. Bridget Kelly, through
her attorney, ]. Marion Brooks, filed a
complaint againt the Sunset Telephone
and Telegraph company, alleging dam
ages against the defendant in the sum
of $4,000.
1t seems, bv the complaint, that Mrs.
Kelly, on the 25th of August last was
crossing Fourth street, on Spring street.
While crossing, che fell into the ditch
that had been dug to receive the under
ground wires of the company; that no
proper guards were placed by the COM
pany to protect the ditch, but that it
was open. and by the negligence of the
company the plaintiff fell in the came,
and was seriously injured, and has been
confined to her bed ever since. Mrs.
Kelly is now at the county hospital,
and her friends despair of her recovery.
She is certainly badly hurt. The COM
pany, since the accident, has fenced all
parts of its bitches, and extraordinary
care is being taken to guard against ac-
cident. This case will present some
novel points of law, as it seems the
Telephone company was insured by an
accident insurance company against any
and all damages arising by reason of the
digging OF bitches in the streets of this

It's Labors in Behalf OF the Approach
ing Fair.
"How's this for bombshell? p asked
Secretary Willard Of a HERALD reporter,
yesterday, at the chamber of commerce.
"It's monster" replied the pencil
pusher, as he paused to contemplate the
proportions of an enormous watermelon /;
and who is the grower? "Mr. w. D..
Corwin of Messina," replied the secre-
tary. "It weighs 12l% pounds, and
Mr.. Corwin assures me that he has two
duplicates of it for the worlds fair. Our
worlds fair contributions are now COM
ing in daily, and from all quarters"
The articles received yesterday were as
follows:

A Suit Resulting From the San Fernando
Land Excitement.

A Suit Resulting From the San Fernando
Land Excitement.
Late yesterday afternoon the trial was
begun before Judge Wade, in depart
ment number three of the superior
court, of the $4,000 damage suit of
Lacey vs.. George K. Porter, of this city.
1t will be remembered that quite an
exciting episode occurred in the fall of
last year in the San Fernando valley,
when an attempt was made to organize
colony of land-seekers to contest the
Fernando valley, by virtue of alleged
grants. Quite a number of persons
went up to the valley, and the move
ment assumed at first large proportions,
but finally died away.
It was about the middle of October
that George X. Porter, manager of the
Porter Land and Water company, swore
to a complaint at San Fernando before
Justice I. B. Reed, against Lacey, charg-
ing him with threatening to enter upon
and take possession by force and viol-
once of lands of the company. Lacey
was arrested and put in Jail, where he
remained imprisoned for IL hours. He
was brought to trial December 18th, and
was acquitted. Later he brought the
suit for damages.
The defendant is represented bv S. NJ. {.
. White and Graves, O'Melveny &
Shankland; while the plaintiff ia repre-
sented by w. I. Foley and ]. M. Dam
ron. The empaneling Of jury occu-
pied an hour, and there was quite tilt
between Mr., White and Damron before
the taking Of testimony began. Mr..
White expressed the opinion that the
complaint did not show whether the
case was for malicious prosecution or
false imprisonment, and tried to pin the
other eide down to straightforward
statement on that point. There were
some evaeive rejoinders by Mr.. Damron,
and Mr.. White curtly told him that he
either ought to fish or cut bait. To
this Damron replied that he had no
desire to evade fishing, and proceeded
to ask the court to allow him to
amend his complaint by inserting
the words s'and imprisonment" after
the statement that the plaintiff had

The Redondo Railroad Wins.

The $4,000 damage suit brought
against the Redondo Railroad company
by W. P. Howland, came to a sudden
termination yesterday in Judge Van
Dykes court. This was the case where
the plaintiff claimed his property on
Vermont avenue had been greatly dam
aged by the building OF the railroad
along that street. He has 1850 feet
front on that avenue and claimed that
the highway has been practically de-
stroyed for driving purposes. After the
introduction of plaintiffs testimony. the
jury was excused while questions of law
were argued. &C. Stephens interposed
motion for non-suit, claiming that
no especial damage had been proved.
After lengthy arguments on both sides,
Judge Van Dyke granted the motion.
