LYNcRBURo, Va. March 23.-An impor-
tant suit for damages was called In the
United States District Court, Judge Paul
presiding, this afternoon. The f.. +. Hess
Company, cigarette manufacturers OF
Rochester. n. y. are suing the bonsacE
Machine Company for about $4,000 dam
ages. with interest. that will carry the
amount to something over $4,000. The
Hess Company began using the Bonsack
cigarette machines in 1887. The Bonsack
Company rents its machines u furnishes
experts TO operate them. The machines
are not sold outright. The manufacturers
who lease them are charged a certain
ROYALTY on every thousand OF cigarettes
manufactured with the machines.
ROYALTY.
The Hess Company agreed 10 paw TO the
Bonsack Company aroyalty OF 30 cents per
thousand or 33 cents per thousand on
cigarettes on which printing was done.
the 3 cents extra being in consideration of
the printing. The understanding was, so
the Hess Company claims. that the Bon
sack Company was not TO charge them
more than IL charged any other users OF
the BoDsack machines.
WHAT THnY LEARN.
Tho compliments then assert that they
learn other cigarette companies had been
getting the use Of the machines for half
what the Hess Company was getting them
for. During the tirnc the Hess Company
was using the machines 1t paid the Bon
sack Company seventeen or eighteen thou-
sand dollars, and half of that amount,
with Interest the plaintiff now Charms.
Il orHrn p
The Bonsack Company denies that 1t
agreed to give the Hess Company a price
as low as to ANYBODY else. and asserts that
in the case of companies whore the ROYALTY
was lower certain services were rendered
to make up the deficiency.

A NEW WITNESS.

The last witness introduced was anewly-
discovered one. who testified that on the
night OF the murder she heard two men
talking under her window. almost directly
opposite the place OF the shooting. She
could not identify them nor tell whether
they were white or colored men. but their
conversation indicated that they were
looking for or expecting somebody. They
went across the street and immediately
afterwards she heard the pistol-shots and
then learned that somebody had been shot.

One OF the cleverest performances
ever recorded of parrot is told in the
Chicago News. In certain home in
that city the heads of the household
were absent, leaving the servants in
charge and Polly, as usual. on her perch
IN the dining-room. During the even
ing burglars entered and began rummag-
ing among the silver and other valua-
bles in the dining-rootn. As IL was
dark. the men did not see the parrot.
The sa9acious creature seemed to real
ize that something was wrong. and, as
the electric bell which summoned the
servants was within reach, she quietly
pressed the button with her claw. as
she had often see her mistress do. II
may have been only imitation on Polly's
part, but il worked as well as il she
had reasoned out the matter. The
servants came rushing in and secured
the burglars. and doubtless Polly had
an extra cracker" for her services.

While all this was In progress none OF

except one bold and incredulous fell
low who put his head out of window
ard entered a protest against having
his rest so unwarrantably disturbed At
the dead of the night. Noattention WAS
paid Ia him, however, and the firing
party resumed operations and kept
them up for about an hour, when, the
evil spirits being disposed of, they went
home.
