of the sum which the plaintiff alleged
was due to him from the defendant
without clear and satisfactory evidence
that the latter knowingly and fraudu-
lently used false weights with intent to
cheat and defraud him and his co-em-
poyes. In the absence of such evidence
1t was the plain duty of the court to
enter and affirm the non-suit. Insinua-
tons and suspicious are not evidence.
and. strictly speaking, they have no
place in it, That the miners employed
by the defendant during the period de-
lined in the plaintiffs statement were
suspicious that their employer was
cheating and defrauding them by the
use of false weights, while they were
regularly receiving from him full pay
ment of the amounts they supposed
they were respectively entitled to for
their work of the two preceding weeks,
and expressed no dissatisfaction with
Tho treatment they received, is. to say
the least of it, Il singular circumstance.
Another circumstance worthy of note
is that this suit was not brought until
TWO years and four months after the
defendant ceased to employ him. Aside
from these and other circumstances
mentioned herein n careful examna-
ton Of the evidence has convinced us
mat the court did not err in entering
the non-suit. Affirmed.

This was an action for damages based
on the alleged fraud of the defendant

Hygcnic Ice Company OF Charlotte
had an Ice plant here. One night In

Last year the company sued the Sea-
board Air Line for damages to the full
value of the plant, setting up the
claim that the fire was caused by
sparks from passing locomotive. The
Superior Court gave verdict for $780,
600 damages.
The railway company has filed
mass of ailidnvits. mainly by Dennis
Rowe. negro detective from Rich
mond, stating that n negro had con-
fessed that he saw his brother, then
fireman ut the ice factory. set fire to
1t, and that 1t was done to get the in
Surancc money
The ice company n few days ago
filed fiidavits that Rowe's evidence
was false, and that he was not worthy
of credence. To-day the railway COM
nany filed another bunch of thirteen
nflidavits by Richmond business men,
tending to show that Rowes character
is good. Others are from Wilson. ~
c., to the effect that Rowe's evidence
in cases there had been believed. The
aflidavits further allege that certain
