MALL MISSION.
Rev. DIR. Greig Desert bes Its Work and
Peculiar Difficulties.

Rev.Dr. Greig, the successor to DR.. Nc
All, founder of the McAll Mission in
Paris, France, was in the city yesterday.
In the afternoon he was entertained a. a
reception at the house of Mrs. Charles j.
Chapman on Spring street, and met
many ladies interested in the work. In
the evening he spoke at the State street
church, Rev. DR.. jenkins presiding. DR..
Greig is a man of ordinary build, with a
dark beard. He has an earnest manner. He
described the statesof the mission when
ne took charge Of it, and told what had
been done since and the methods followed
in the work.
He said it was very difficult to convince
the people with whom the mission
labored that they were sincere. They
had been told AS children when going to
the cure to be absolved after confession,
that they must have sins to confess; SO
they would transfer some of their sins to
each other for SO many marbles or toys,
and, after they had confessed and been
forgiven, they would go away and laugh
at the cure.
He told OF one man with whom he
labored for long time before he could
get him to admit the evil of his ways,
and then it was only after he had
brought home to him the sin he had
committed when he deserted his wife
that he had qualms of conscience The
only way to reach such people he had
found to be through the Bible and prayer
showing them there was way of talk
ing directly with God. "The centre of
the work. he said, is the evening
evangelistic meeting in the mission and
its branches. Then we have a canal boat
which goes up and down as a sort of
floating mission into the country towns
along the water course. Schools are
held every day, except Thursdays and
Sundays with religious services on Sun
day"

CUMBERLAND COUNTY,

George H. Jordan vs.Alfred II. Gondy.
Rescript-The plaintiff was driving a
horse and Concord wagon westerly along
the northerly side of Congress street
The defendants servant was driving a
pair of horses with a pair of traverse
sleds loaded easterly along the southerly
side of CougressFstreet. Had each party
kept on without change of direction they
would have passed each other at a dis
lance of about fourteen feet between
them. The defendants team, however,
Gas it had right to do, il exercising
due care, turned to the left to cross Com
gress street and enter New State street
leading out from the north side of Con-
gress street. A collision occurred, in
which the near hind wheel Of the plain
tiff S wagon was caught in the near hold
lngback yoke OF the double team.
The plaintiffs claim is that he had
nearly passed New State street and was
fully abreast OF the defendants team
before the latter made any turn, and
that the COLLISION was caused by the de-
tendant's team under TIA king to cross into
New State street too near the rear of his
wagon. The defendant claimed that his
team tufheH 10 cross into New State
street before the plaintiff arrived there
ana tDa az ene colllslon was caused by the
plalntlH hurry1ng across in front of and
too near the double team AFTER h had
turned.
The jury decided that the defendants
servant was in fault, and that the plain
tiff was without fault. Whatever orr
own opinion we cannot find from The
evidence that the jury was uuouestion-
ably wrong. Reasonable men might
differ about the matter
The award OF damages seems high. but
reasonanie men might differ about that
also, anu h nehee the award cannot be re.
the change that the award misht he be' re- un
duced. 1t'might be increased. Motion
overruIed. 1"oO'oii

Those Grouse,

keeping grouse in stock was continued
until Saturday for further investigation.
Counsel for Farris claim that the grouse
was raised in Wisconsin, and so there
was perfect right to sell it here. The
government contends that this proceed
ing is contrary to law. If the court rem
ders decision favorable to the state it
will prevent any game, such as venison,
being brought here from another state.

The Riding School.

The success with which Prof. Bristo;
has met in building up riding school,
we think is worthy of mention. Those
who wish to learn horseback riding
should go at once and improve their
opportunity. Those who undecided
should go one evening and watch the
riders, which will help them to form
the opinion whether or not he is capable
of teaching. Do not forget the donation
Friday evening. For further particulars
