cence. The helplessness of race,
hitherto dependent upon certain bar
barrie conditions or political place and
power, unskilled in invention and sud-
denly confronted with the necessity of
personal labor, was visible everywhere.
Eyes that but three short years before
had turned vindictively to the north
now gazed wistfully to that quarter
for help and direction. They scanned
eagerly the faces of their energetic and
prosperous neighbors-and quondam
foes-upon the verandahs of southern
hotels and the decks of southern steam
boats, and were even now watching
from a group in the woods the windows
of the halted train, where the head and
shoulders appeared of two men of man
ifestly different types, but still alien
to the country in dress, features and &C
cent.
Two negroes were slowly loading the
engine tender from a wood pile
The rich brown smoke of turpentine
knots filing the train with its
singing fragrance. The elder of the
two northern passengers, with sharp
eastern angles in his face, impatiently
glanced at his watch.
''Of all created shiftlessness this beats
everything! Why couldn't we have
taken in enough wood to last the ten
miles further to the terminus when we
last stopped? And why, in thunder!
with all this firing up, can't we 60
faster?''
The younger passenger, whose calm,
well-bred face seemed to indicate more
repose of character, smiled quietly.
IF you really wish to know-as
we've only ten miles further to go-rn
show you why. Come with me-"
He led the way through the car to the
platform and leaped down. Then he
pointed significantly to the rails below
them. His companion started. The
metal was scaling off in thin strips
from the rails, and in some places Its
thickness had been reduced a quarter
of an inch, while in others the project
ing edges were torn of or hanging II
| iron shreds, so that the wheels actually
ran on the narrow central strip. Il
seemed marvellous that the train coult
keep the track.
"Now you know why we don't g

travellers had differed, although thei

In the criminal court, Judge Jordan

Meyer, indicted for felonious assault on
his twelyo.year,old adopted sister,
Katie, alias Annie Hockinbury, but
better known as Hillbury, was called
for trial. Prosecuting Attorney How.
ard is assisted in the conduct OF the
case for the state, while Captain B. 3.
Dovener and S. o. BoyCe represent the
defense.
The prisoner was accompanied into
court by his father, who sat beside him
during the days proceedings. Tho girl

opinions. Finally, however, twenty

Christ Floto, j. NJ. Dowler, Thomas

After they had been sworn Mr..
Howard made a lengthy statement Of
the case for the prosecution, to which
Coptain Dovener replied at equal
length. Both reviewed the peculiar
legal phases OF the question, concern
ing the ago Of consent. and there was
some discussion Of the character OF the
child. Mr.. Howard closed for the state
about 5 o'clock, and the court adjourned
till this morning without beginning the
evidence.
It developed yesterday that some OF
the witnesses for the defense, supposed
to DO able to throw light on the girls
chastity, had not been found, and there
is suspicion that several OF them have
left town till the trial ends
Other proceedings Of the court yes
terday were as follows:
In tho matter OF the eleven indict-
ments against William Emblem and
Elizabeth Emblem for renting houses
for purposes OF prostitution, Captain
Dovener counsel for Emblem, domurred
