rNGERsoLL SCORES SHEPARD.

The Jury, Nevertheless, Brings in a
Verdict for the Defense.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15-The jury In the
Grsy-Shepard case has returned verdict
for the defendant. Col. Shepard.
Crowds were turned away from part II
of the supreme court where the Gray
Shepard trial was held to-day.
Col. Bob Ingersoll handled Col. Shepard
without gloves in his summing up for Frank
S. Gray, former business manager of the
Mail and Express, who was dismissed on
the ground of incompatibility. Lawyer
John N. Parsons was first heard in
behalf of Col. Shepard. He said: "Col.
Shepard has a right to get drunk every day
in the year if he likes. But Gray, his en-
ploye, was in different position 1t inter
fered with his business" In summing up
for the plaintiff, Col. Ingersoll referring to
the "incompati bility" clause In the con-
tract, turned toward Col. Shepard and
bending forward, gazed at him through his
big spectacles, saying: ~ don't believe any
honest man ever made such a contract"
The jury retired and was out over three
hours. When the verdict was rendered
Col. Shepard, turning TO the jury, said: 81
thank you very much.'

COERCION OF RAILROADS.
The Carolina Legislature Passes e
kadicaa Measure.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 15.-The railroad
coercion bill caused lively time in the
House to-day. The only amendment that
through was that which makes any white
male citizen over 25 years of age eligible to
election on the board Of commissioners.
Amendments 20 strike the provision Civ
ing the commissioners power to make pas
senger and Joint rates were defeated.
The speech OF the dey was made by Col.
John c. Haskell He said the bill was a
monstrOsity, disgrace to a civilized state,
and had nothing in it TO recommend it to
any upright man. 1t was the product of
passion, Of disappointment to counsel de-
feated in litigation and now appealing to
prejudice. Every attempt, said he, TO strike
out its curious and vile injustice is voted
down with scarcely reason given therefor.
The author of this bill is Senator Wilson
of Spartanburg.
Col. Haskell said that the bill contained
declaration Of enmity toward those who
have done more than any OF us have done
for the state. Pass This bill and we will
not refund the state debt and next July will
see us bankrupt and venture the prOphesy
that in twelve months if we commit this
wrong, it will have borne its bitter fruits
and the men who ad vocated it, instead of
being held up as those who benefited the
state, will be denounced as mischief makers
who injured her.
The House tonight passed the bill, which
has already passed the Senate. Its pro-
visions are radical in the extreme, giving
the railroad commission absolute powers in
regard to freight, passenger and joint rates;
schedules, damages and contracts with con-
Meeting roads, without the right of appeal
Railroad men predict direful consequences
to the roads as the result of the operations
OF this bill. General Superintendent
v. Il. McBea said tonight that
he ia taking comparatively little
interest in this railroad legislation,
as be is satisfied that the bill passed by the
legislature will not stand the test of ex-
animation by the United States court, and
he intends to have 1t submitted to that tri-
bunal at the first opportunity.

Was Der Runaway Brether-in-Law.
The Mother-in-Law Also Came to the
Same Conclusion.
| ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. ia highly inter
esting case of mistaken identity which came
near playing havoc in the congregation Of
Berean Methodist church, of this city, was
cleared up at special meeting held for that
purpose this morning in that church. Some
time ago during the revival services held in
the city by Evangelist Blesser, one OF the con-
verts was young man who gave his name
as Henry Light. When he confessed his
sins and asked to be allowed TO devote the
remainder Of his life to the cause Of Chris
tianity as minister in the church. he said
that he had lead a very checkered life up to
that time, but never gave the details. He
was finally given a mission, being assigned
to st. James church. Last week the new
convert began attending the revival services
at Berean church being held by Rev. j. w.
Collins.

time ago, taking with him a horse, saddle
and bride. together with sum of money
not his own, besides deserving a wife and
8 weeks old baby. The young lady informed
her mother of her suspicious and they went
together to the church to watch closely aud
satisfy themselves. Mrs. Bodie was also
convinced that the young preacher was her
erring son-in-law, and when church was out
asked him to accompany her and her
daughter home.
PROVES WHO HE IS.
The young man consented, and on the
way Mrs. Bodie charged him with being
Neal Mailman, her good for nothing SON
in-law. He denied this. and said he would
prove that he was Henry Light, which he
did to-day by several witnesses, who had
known him a long time and knew his
family in Forsyth county. Miss Bodie and
her mother had made known their
suspicious of the young preacher to the
congregation of the church, which has been
in state of great excitement uD to day,
when the cloud was removed from the
identity of the Rev. Light.
