SIGNED TWO BILLS.
Exceptions Agreed TO by Judges in Street
and Steam Railroad Cases.

i-ANSFiAouS <AS-lS ~ DS JuOSGS III SITCeI
and Steam Railroad Cases.
Two bills of exceptions on appeal to the
court Of appeals were signed yesterday. One
signed by Judge Cole was in the case of the
American Car Company, of St. Louis, against
the Washington and Georgetown Railroad
Company, in which a verdict for S14, ,S64
against the railroad company was rendered
on June Il, 1894.
The suit was brought on November 16,
1892, for SI8. .238 balance due on cars ordered
in November, 1891. The railroad company
answered that it had been damaged Ssl, 600
by the failure OF the car company to supply
cars at the agreed time. and $4,000 by poor
work on the cars furnished. The loss in the
delay was estimated at - a dav for each car
1t was shown that the cars were due in
time for the Grand Army encampment. and
for lack OF them the cars were so crowded
that conductors could not collect fares.
On the trial, a contract made November 49,
1891, was not allowed to 90 to the jurv, the
fact that the cars were needed for the Grand
Army traffic wGs ruled oul, and the Jury was
instructed that damages could not be allowed
for the delay. On these and other points ex-
ceptions were noted by the defense.
E.lIhe other bill, signed by Judge Bingham,
was il the case OF Louis L. Brown agains t
the b. i o. r. 4. Brown was a brakeman on
the road. He was seriously hurt while
switching cars at Ivy City and sued for dam
ages.

vention composed OF intelligent citizens who
recognize the fact that the hope OF both
church and stale is in the youth Of the coun-
try, and who are willing TO assume the duty
of giving the boys and girls a proper start
upon the moral pathway.
The Sunday system of instruction may be
said to have had its origin in America, in
school organized at Ephrata, Pa, in 1879,
the object Of which was to afford
means Of education TO the ''poorer classes, 'but
the movement received an added influence in
the ''Raikes system" established inLondon
in 17s1. the history of which is analogous to
that of England; and The power for good
thus set in motion has become strength in
the Christian wo-ld, second only TO that ofthe
chucrh, out of which yet greater results are
anticipated.
One intelligent member Of the recent con-
vention is accredited with the observation
that in the next decade wonderful develop
ments and greatly increased influence for
good may be expected. TIE TIMES takes
pleasure in chronicling the prediction, and

terestedness that mark the course Of the up

Political Warfare.

There can be no doubt as to the
standing Of Bro. Blackburn's Free
South on the Senatorial question,
as the following extract from his
paper ofthe 18th inst, would show:
We have no political warfare to
make againstany man in this State
in the pending political contest,
nor hardly a SPECIAL choice of one
against another, with perhaps the
single exception of J. H. Berry for
the United States Senatorship-
nor that particularly as against
Fishback, for we would favor Ber-
ry as against any other man; and
as against Fishback we feel that
no special opposition is needed or
is necessarily so, we should be
very decided in our likes and dis
likes, as we deem Berry very de-
cidedly the more superior man
quite his equal in craftsmanship,
and as man far the more so. But
let that pass-Berry will be again
elected to the high position which
he has been SO well and accepta-
bly, filing.
AS to Col. Fshback, with all his
assumed and presumed smartness,
he is one of those damphools politi.
cally, whose knowledge gets away
with his discretion, and whose
eas erness to reach a point cOmpels
him, in the very nature of things,
and from the most common sense
standpoint, to fall far short Off

WARREN, Feb. l9.-A severe
storm of wind and rain, accompan
led with hail, passed over a por.
ton of this county on Saturday
evening, doing considerable dam
age.
Here high wind prevailed, and
the rain fell in torrents, but no
damage was done, except some
fences blown down. West and
southwest of town the greatest
damage was felt. Att. R. RACERS
place, five miles from town, The
full force of the storm was felt.
His dwelling was blown down and
every house on the place denolish-
ed. Fences were blown away,
fruit trees torn up by the roots,
grape vines torn oar 0ftbe ground
and carried hundreds of yards.
When The storm first struck the
house Mr.. RACER ran out in the
passage, and was blown by the
wind out into the back yard against
a tree to which he chung aud held
on to until the force of the wind
was expended. One of his little
boys who followed him out was
picked up by the wind and blown
out Of doors against a fence back
of the house which fortunately
checked him. The chimneys were
blown down, and the house entire.
ly demolished. Fortunately no
one was seriously injured. Mrs.
Rager was confined to her bed by
sickness, and was unable to help
herself A furious rain storm pre-.
vailed, and added to the horrors of
the situation. The escape of this
family was truly miraculous.
AT Dennis Crossings. a colored
farmer, a mile or two beyond Rag.

buildings here were demolished.
an old colored woman was killed.
and Crosby'swife and child injured.

A great deal of good will
come OF the hard times we
have had for the last two years
not the least of which will be the
curtailment of credit. The credit
system in Arkansas has wrecked
merchants by the hundreds and
farmers by the thousand. Since
we have reached the point where
the merchant could not give it,
and the farmers could not get it,
times have begun to mend. And
they will keep on mending SO long

HON. JAMES p. CLARKE


Hou. Jas. p. Clarke, our present
able Attorney General last week
announced throughout the State
as a candidate for Governor. From
present appearances he will have
no opposition IN the race. Mr.
Clarke has made ali efficient At
torney General, and would, We
think fill the Office satisfactorily,
The Gazette gives Mr.. Clarke the
following complimentary notice:
Hon. James p. Clark has offici,
ally announced that he is a candi-
date for the nomination of Cover
nor of Arkansas. Mr.. Clarke is
one of the most active and ener'
getic citizens of this State, keenly
awake to the demands of the
people, and if entrusted with an.
th0rity to execute the laws OF
Arkansas will perform his duty in
most fearless manner. He is a
lawyer Of recognized ability anu
thoroughly understands the wants
of the people, and if nominated
for the distinguished office to
which he aspires, will give full
value for the honor conferred
upon him. As q Democrat, there
is no man in Arkansas who is more
welded to the principles of his
party than Hon. James P. Clarke.
His nomination would he equiva-
lent to an election, and once in
the Gubernatorial chair the public
affairs of the State will be admin.
istered in a way that would be
certain to meet with universal
approval.

Investigation shows that the
blizzard which swept over South
ern Illinois last week has inflicted
damage on the fruit growers which
will not fall lightly. Apples are
so far injured to no great extent,
but fears for the safety of some of
the smaller fruits, such as berries,
currants aud cherries, are great.
As this section of Illinois has in
late years become one of the
heaviest fruit producing setions
in the country the loss will be
felt very severely by the growers,
who depend almost entirely on
their fruit yield.

The Talahina News is not Op.
posed to Statehood in toto, bnt is
opposed to it "under the present
status of things" 1t says: "We

a system of graduation, and, if it is
unavoidable, they should select
men of their own choosing as
members of their tribes sufficient
to take up the land pro rata and
