CIRCUIT COURT.
The Case Of Mary j. Dougherty
VS.. the NJ. &c w.

Circuit Court opened promptly yester
day at o o'clock and until 10 q. IN. heard
miscellaneous chancery matters, st
which time pleas and answers woro
filed. At 10 a. m. the argument in the
case Of Mary j. Dougherty was re.
resumed by A. p. Staples for the rail
road company, and later by Colonel
Hansbrough for the plaintiff. The jury
after mature deliberation returned a
verdict in favor OF the plaintiff for the
sum of $3.50 and costs.
After the dismissal of the jury
motion for new trial was made prin-
cipally on the ground that one of the
instruc tions offered by the defense and
rejected by the court should have been
admitted. The judge overruled tho
motion stating that the instructions
were given as intended.
The case Of S. A. Wilson versus Norfolk
and Western railroad, damages for kill
ing a cow. was called, but upon Mr.. Watts,
counsel for railroad, Offering S25 payment
OF cost, the case as compromised and
a decree entered for above amount.
The case of Gossler 6, Co. versus
Adams, Clements &c Co. was continued
until later in the term, plea OF set off
and no partnership being filed. Tho
case of Geo. w. Zirkle versus Norfolk
and Western railroad, damages for kill
ing horse belonging to him, valued at
SIPS, was next called and submitted to
jury. 1t appears that in January,
1892, this horse and one belonging to
Charles Hatcher were killed. by freight
train on account of defective fence
inb hod Hrr
an engine.
The railroad company entered q de-
murrer to the evidence, which left the
jury only the question of the value
of the horse, which, after CON
sideration, they found to be Sl25; the
balance of the case was then left to the
jury for a decision. The interesting
legal question was raised as to the con-
struction of the law pertaining to fences,
the law providing that in any case
against railroad company for an in
jury to any property on any part of it's
track not enclosed according to tho pro-
visions of the law, it shall not be neces-
sarY for the claimant to show that the
injury was caused by the negligence of
the company. The Judge reserved his
decision. Col. R. II. Logan represented
Zirkle, j. A. Watts the company. 1t
WAS agreed that the case of Charles
Ha'cher, which stood on same basis,
should be governed by above decision
| when rendered.
| The case of N. Hickman versus Nor
folk and Western Railroad Company for
$4,000 damages was called and on &C.
count of the absence OF w. r. johnson
in West Virginia, one OK the most i'm
portant witnesses for thescompany, the
case was continued till the January
term at the oompany's costs, which are
considerable.
The demurrage case OF Adams,
Clements & Co. versus the railroad com.
pa1y and the case of the Berryville
Land Company versus D. B. Strouse are
set for to day.

will commend themselves favorably, no

One cannot help rcmarking the prcdomi

little old to find this so pcrsistently intro
1uced into the fall fashions. We might
suppose the blouse had been done quite to
death upon summer gowns, but probably
the rago for Russian styles, which began
last spring, has populnrizcd those various
distinguishing features.
Few bodiccs will be opened down the

in the adjustment OF trimming forming
the chief distinction of this seasons hats
The butterfly arrangement of loops, or of
wired velvet points, gives becoming
breadth TO the face, which was lacking
when the trimming was massed Mt the
back Of hats. The antenntp pompons,
Mcphisto feathers and quilts are set in
front of the low crowns, just Mt the loop of
tho wide bows, intermingled with upright
wings or stiff branching ornaments. Many
OF the now hats display quantities of the
stiff ostrich plumes curling over little ut
the top, known as "Prince of Wales tips"
These are placed In odd and picturesque
positions, and will be very popular. In
fact the usual autumn rage for ostrich
feathers, especially in black, has broken
out with renewed violence, and the shops
will soon appear SO full OF them that every
African bird Will seem to have been riflcd
Of its plumage.
The fancy in hnirrlressing for displaying
the forehead has thrown oil hats back
from the face somewhat although this IS
largely II matter Of taste.
Many OF the quilts stuck through soft
trimmings Of velvet or Of cloth are exceed
ingly beautiful either by nature or art,
presenting exquisite tInting.
BOnnets Seem to be diminishing until
they are now scarcely moro than sufficient

ONE OF THE RAIDERS INSANE.

Fred DeBulier, Who Invaded johnson
County, Becomes Reving Maniac.
LARAMIE, WY, July 10.-Fred DeBillier, ,
wealthy young New Yorker who took
part in the cattlemen's raid into johnson
county has become insane over the events
OF the raid and the subsequent troubles
DeBillier, while in the siege at the T. A.
ranch, where the cattlemen were surrounded
by the johnson county settlers, displayed
remarkable courage and GOODNESS under fire.
He had apparently taken the subsequent
imprisonment philosophically, but it is now
positive he allowed the matter TO weigh
heavily upon his mind. To-day he became
possessed with the fear that the Texas CON-
tingent Of his fellow prisoners were about
to kill him and tonight his mind Is com>
pletely unbalanced.
Gov. Barbour, who is a physician, advises
that DeBillier be taken to an asylum. Judge
Blake has been asked to allow this to be
done, and as the representatives of johnson
county do not object DeBillier will prob ably
be taken away Immediately. The applica-
ton OF the prisoners for a change of venue
from johnson county is still being heard.

LONGEST ROAD IN THE WORLD.
Capt. Rosanoff of Russia Talks of the
Great Siberian Line.

CHICAGO, July 10.-Capt Nicholas Ro-
sanoff Of the Russian army and navy and
one Of the corps OF royal engineers in the
czar's service is at the Richelieu. The cap
tain is on his way west to Vladivostock,
Siberia, to take charge Of the work Of build
ing enormous barracks aud docks for the
army and navy and also to direct the engi-
neering work on the longest railroad in the
world. This railroad, when completed will
reach from Kabrasrofkoff, on the Siberian
coast, 70 Moscow Russia a distance of al
most 6, 900 miles. Two hundred miles Of this
line are already built and the entire
road it lie expected will be completed five
years hence. The government is building
the line, and will own it when completed.
The road is TO be used to tap the great ST.
berian territory and for the transportation
OF Russias vast armies and naval stores,
but the commercial importance of the line
must not be underestimated, Capt RosanofR
says, as no doubt wheat and other cereals
grown in our western states will be sent to
Russia via San Francisco, the Pacific ocean,
and the great railroad, instead of, as now,
by way of New York, Liverpool and St.
Petersburg. Capt. Rosanof said he had
heard considerable Of George KEENAN,, the
writer and traveller, and his experience in
Siberian prisons. He believed that since
Mr.. Remnants expose Of the situation of af-
fairs, there has been a change for the better
in the management of the prisons.
