WHY NO JANIToR WAS ELECTED.
If None is Chosen the City Will be
$500 Better Off.

The failure Of the board of aldermen
to elect a janitor Friday night is due to
the fact that the work of the janitor
is now being done and has been done
for several months by Ed Tate, negro
who was injured by an explosion at the
rock quarry.
In consequence of the injuries thus re-
ceiyed Tate was about to bring suit
for damages, but a compromise was
agreed upon whereby the city was to give
Tate employment at some easy work, not
in the sun. during the present admins
tration. For this he was to receive 30
cents day.
Under this contract the work perform
ed by the janitor is about all the negro
is fitted for, or rather the only work the
city has that he's fitted for; and he is
doing it very well. OF course he must
be paid whether he has any work to do
at all or not.
1t was for this reason that no janitor
was chosen, and the failure to choose
one will result in saving to the city 500
month, or $500 during the present ADJ
ministration

Another Long Case Now on Trial in
Wake Superior Court.

All of yesterday in Wake Superior
court was spent in the trial of the Over
by damage suit against the Seaboard
Air Line. 1t will take all of today, and
probably longer to complete the trial, as
it is being very stubbornly fought on
both sides.
The suit is brought by j. c. Maroon,
administrator for Alexander OVERLY, a
negro who was a fireman on the Raleigh
and Augusta branch of the Seaboard
Air line road. up to December, 1896,
when he was killed in wreck.
The wreck occurred near here, just
beyond the A. and NJ. College one night
in December three years ago. 1t was
freight train. and the engine and half a
dozen cars or more ran off the track and
rolled down a steep embankment, some
twenty feet high
Engineer John Robinson was slightly
hurt, and Fireman OVERLY was killed
instantly being caught beneath the en-
CINE as it fell.
The plaintiff now brings an action for
damages, alleging that the wreck was
caused by insufficient road bed and de-
fective crossties. The railroad says, by
way Of defence. that somebody drew the
spikes. and made ''jack-switch, in or
der to wreck the Atlanta special but
that the freight happened to come along
first.
The plaintiff put on only enough evil
dence yesterday to make out a prima
facie case. Other evidence will be put
on today by way of rebuttal of the testi-
mony of the defendant.
This case has been tried jim Wake
Superior court once-about year ago.
A verdict of $500 was given against
the read but Judge Timberlake set the
verdict aside

WILL CASE TO BE TRIED.
The First One in This County in Many
Years.

The first will case tried in this coun-

for trial in the Superior court today.
1t is the case of Noel Bullock and
others against II. r. Stewart and others.
The suit is brought by Bullock to upset
the will of his mother, who died about
a year ago leaving her property, amount
ing to some $1,000, to her nephews and
neices and to r. Z. Stewart, an out
slider who is named as administrator.
1t is sought to upset the will on the
ground that Mrs. Bullock was not OF
sound mind, and for the further reason,
as alleged that undue influence was
used to induce her to make Stewart, who
is no relation TO her, a beneficiary Of her
WILL
The case promises to be very inter
esting one.
