OLD POINT.
GREEK LETTER SOCIETY GIVES A
BANQUET

BANQUET.
Old Point. Va. May 4-To-nieht at
the ChsmberIin Hotel the members of
the Greek Letter Society-the Kappa
Alpha College fraternity--gave one of
the most notable and elaborate ban
Duets ever given at that popular hos
terry. There were members of the fra
ternity present from Norfolk, Newport
News and Hampton. Each member
was accompanied by his lady friend. as
1t was the purpose of the committee
having the program in charge to make
the banquet a most enjoyable affair.
Steps were taken at the banquet
looking to the formation of an alumni
association OF the society on the Pen
insula. Several years ago an effort was
made to organize such an association
here. but from some cause or other the
project fell through before a charter
could be secured. This. dt is claimed,
will not be the fate of the present at-
tempt. and the members of the society
are confident the association will be
prosperous ths time as the result of
to-night's effort.
The committee having the arrange
ments of the banquet in charge was
made up of Messrs. S. Gordon Cum
mings, j. v. Bickford, County Clerk
Isl. II. Holt and several others.

They can do themselves and their

Youth is indiscreet, If the textbook

LOST HER CASE.
Jury Found for Defendant in
Mrs. koIh's Action Against
Union Railroad Co.

The sealed verdict brought in by the
jury in the case Of Catherine Kolb, ad-
minstratrix VS.. Union Railroad COM
pany was, when opened in Judge Will
bur's court, found to be in favor OF
the defendant. This caused many ex-
pressions of surprise in the court room
as the case had been closely followed
by many persons who confidently
looked to a verdict for the plaintiff.
and who expected the verdict would be
awarded in quite a large sum.
Mrs. kolb's husband was in 1894
thrown from car on Atwells avenue
and received injuries from which he
died. The railroad company claimed his
being thrown was due to Mr.. kolb's
attempt to get off the car. There was
some very strong testimony that was
inconsistent with the companv's con-
tention that Mr.. kolb stepped from
the car.
One of the reasons the verdict given
today caused surprise was at the two
previous trials of the case juries dis
agreed. The jury at the trial before the
one just closed stood IL 10 ! in favor
of the plaintiff. The trial in the pres.
ent instance which had lasted several
days was thought 10 have been even
more closely tried and TO have made
out an even stronger case for the
plaintiff than when the plaintiff came
within one voice OF getting a verdict

railroad company.
