udice, and is not sustained by sufficient
evidence, and is contrary to the law OF
the case
very seriously considered the
Defendants motion, made on the con-
clusion Of the Plaintiff 3 evidence, to
give the jury peremptory instructions to
find for the Defendant.
Whilst there was some evidence show
ing that some Of the cars may have been
overloaded, there was practically none
to show that such overlooking caused or
contributed TO the accident. It seemed
to me to be one OF those accidents that
often happen in the operation of railroad
trains that are incident to such hazard.
Gus business and that no sort of human
foresight can guard against,
The evidence failed to show any fail
ure on the part OF the Defendant to
properly inspect its cars, trucks, and all
other appliances connected with the
train, not only before it started from its
place OF loading, but also a careful in.
spection thereof, in which the dece ased
himself participated, OH the top OF the
hill preparatory to its descent down to
where the accident occurred.
The testimony as to the overlooking OF
the cars, or any OF them, largely pre-
ponderated against said charge, and, in
fact, on every issue made, the evidence,
to my mind, not only failed to sustain
the contention of Plaintiff, but largely
preponderated in favor of the Defend
ant.
Independent of the foregoing consid-
erations, the affidavit OF the atlantis
Watkins and Brashear as to the state
ments Of juror Triplett is of itself sufic-
lent to not only authorize, but to compel
the Court to grant a new trial in this
case.
The argument OF Counsel to the jury
to the effect that this train was running
on Sunday, in violation OF the law OF
God and the law OF the land, was also
preiudiCial, calculated to mislead aud in-
flame the jury and lead them into giving
an excessive verdict, as was also the fire.
quent references Of counsel to the tears
and weeds of the weeping widow, who
was present in the court room, und who
WAS no party to the suit
On the whole case the Court is OF the |
opinion that the verdict'of the jury is |
tagrantly against the evidence, is excess
i've and contrary to the law, and, for |
these reasons, is set aside and a new |
trial awarded.
The above opinion is warmly approved |
by every person who has any knowledge
Of the case.
1t is a matter of congratulation to the
best citizenship of Breckenridge county
that the bench is filled by so able and |
jurist. 1t marks an era
in local juris prudence that means much
Tor the fair fame of the county.
1t means the conservation Of the pro-
perry rights, of law and justice in this
county, not only as it affects corpora
lions, but as it affects individuals.
Judge McBeath has acted in behalf of
The good citizens OF Breckenridge and
deserves the commentator of all.

Gen. Lee Wouldn't Sell His Name.

November Ladies' Home Journal.
Soon after General Lee went to Lex-
ington, Virginia, he was offered the
presidency of an Insurance company at
a salary of ten thousand dollars. He
was at that time receiving only three
thousand dollars as president Of the
Washington and Lee University. 1--WE
do not want you to discharge any
duties, General" said the agent 1--WE
simply wish the use of your name ;
that will abundantly compensate us. -
Excuse me, sir" was the prompt and
decided rejoinder; II cannot consent to
receive pay for services I do not rem
der" Nearly every msil brought him
similar propositions, and just short
while before his death large and
wealthy corporation in New York City
offered him fifty thousand dollars per
annum to become Its president. But
he refused all such offers and quietly
pursued his chosen path of duty.

A Will and a Way.

Christian Advocate.
Several years ago, an effort was made
to collect all the chimney sweepers in
the city of Dublin for the purpose of
education. One little fellow was asked
If he knew his letters.
"Oh, yes, sir" was the reply.
"Do you spell?"
"Oh, yes, sir" was again the answer.
"Do you readY"
"Oh, yes, sir"
"And what book did you learn from p
"Oh, l never had book in my life. u
"And who was your schoolmaster ?"
"Oh, I never was at SCHOOL"
Here was a singular Casa boy
could read and spell without book or
master But what was the fact why,
another little sweep, little older than
himself, had taught him to read, by
showing him the letters over the shop
doors as they went through the city.
"Where there is a will there is a
way"
