On Saturday night there was what
might be called a drawn battle be-
tween some white men and negroes in
the St. Phillips section Of Newberry
county. The facts leading up to the
trouble on Saturday night are lold
substantially the same by both sides.
The Hon. John T. Banks cattle had
gotten on the lands worked By Nor
roe Leitzsey, and he had gone to Mrs
Banks and the members of Capt.
Banks family in his Banks absence
and spoken insultingly and lmpudent-
ly to them, ana had also made insult
ing remarks about Capt. Banks.
On Wednesday Capt. Banks was at
Mr.. ". D. Halfacre's, when Monroe
Leilzsey came along the road. He
was asked about his talk, and not de-
nying it, Capt. Banks struck him
several times. Later IN the day the
negro. WHO had lain in wait by the
roadside, knocked Capt Banks out Of
his buggy with stick. a warrant
was sworn cut for Leitzsey and Cor
stable Joe W. Werts appointed X

BILE he took posse OF IL or 10 white
men and went to the negro's house
Saturday night. The constable say S
be put guards around tbs house and
then rapping on the door, called to
Leitzsey to surrender, and the negro
cried for help and shot through the
door. The negro says proceedings
were opened by shots from the whltes.
At any rate when Monroe called a
dozen or so negroes rushed out OF sd
iacent houses and opened FIRE. The
posse fell back to the house and re
turned the FIRE. The posse withdrew
with four men wounded, none seri
ously. Four negroes were wounded

FiEht or the New Haven Road Against n Troi.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. Tho New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company is
making an effort to proven: the extension Of
the line Of tho Bridgeport Traction Company
from It's terminus at Southport to Wcstport. a
distance of about five miles. The new line. IL
built. will parallel the line Of the steam railroad.
The hearing on the application for permission
to build the proposed extension was heard be-
forc Judge Elmer In the Superior Court to-day.
The,ground originally taken by the steam rail-
road company was that the proposed extension
was not a public necessity. Atto.day's hearing.
however, it changed Its basc and offered tcsti.
mony to show that the traction company is not
financially able to build tho extension, and
argues that the road now in operation in this
city and suburbs is in such bad condition that
II will take all the money the company has to
repair its present line.
The steam railroad experts will endcavor to
show that the leakage of electricity at the present
time is so great as to affect tho service OF tho
road, and that 1t is due TO the uso of iron rather
than copper wire in bonding. The contest is
being watched with great interest all over the
State. as the proposed extension is an important
link In the paralleling of the n. Y. n. II. and II.
lines.

tions in search of the counterfeit notes. and tho

como to hand at the local Sub-Treasury. In

issue the Sub-Treasury is retaining all Of that
