Judge feathers yesterday overruled the
motion to instruct the jury to find for the
defendant in the suit of Elizabeth Hawkins
against the vsndalia Railway Company.
In requesting that the Jury be instructed
this way John c.. Williams, attorney for
the railroad company, attacked the consti-
tutionality of the "c~ontributory negli-
gence'' act. Judge feathers held that in
overruling the motion 1t was not necessary
to pass on the constitutionality of the act.
The attorneys began their argument to

SALE OF. BEER ON A TRAIN.
u. 8. Limpus Says Oscar Welty Inn
persOnated q Revenue Oficer.

The Federal Court was occupied yester-
day In the trial Of the case Of Oscar
Welty, of Kokomo, indicted by the last
federal grand jury on the charge Of i'm
personating a revenue officer.
On Aug. q, 1899, an excursion was run
from Frankfort, Ind. to Cincinnati. and
Uriah s.. Limpus, of Kokomo. bought the
privileges of the management of the ex-
cursior, to sell soft drinks-lemonade, pop,
etc, on the train. Welty,' a former police
officer, and at that time a deputy con-
stable at Kokomo, was employed by the
promoters of the excursion to go with the
excursion as a peace officer. Shortly after
the train left Frankfort, some one in
formed Welty hat Limpus was selling
beer on the train, and asked him to inter-
fere to prevent it. He Immediately went to
the baggage car. where Limpus kept his
supplies, and purchased what he claimed
was a bottle of beer for which he paid
Limpus Is cents. AS soon as he procured
the beer he said to Limpus. In substance,
that he had HIN, and he wanted him 20
stop the sale Of beer on the train Limpus
replied that he had seen a revenue officer
and 1t was all right. Welty then replied.
he was a revenue officer himself and the
matter would not be all right unless he
said so. Limpus claimed that he thereupon
gave Welty $40 and fixed the matter with
him.
When the excursion returned Limpus
went to see a revenue officer, and on his
statement Welty was arrested. In the trial
of the case yesterday Limpus and a num-
Der Of witnesses testified substantially to
the above story, insisting that Welty
claimed he was a revenue officer and that
he accepteu the $40 as a sort OF hush
money.
When Welty was called he denied hat
he claimed to be a revenue officer. and he
also said that il was true he had received
$40. but that he did not know who had CIV
en- it to him, or for what purpose He found
II In his coat pocket. and supposed that
some one had placed IL there with some ul-
terror motive. welty was supported in his
statements by about as many witnesses as
had testified for the prosecution. The court
instructed the jury that IL IL found n YER
dict before 10 o'clock last night to seal IL
anu return II In open court this morning.
AT 10 o'clock the jury had not agreed.

Bowling Game. Tonight.


The Columbias jumped into third place
in the Ten Pin League race last night by
taking three games from the Standards.
The scores were not very close. but the
games were exciting owing to the great
rivalry between the two teams and third
place depending on the series. The Me-
ridians caught the Blue Labels mapping in
the first game and it was a case of the
tailenders winning a game from the cham
pions. The most exciting game of the
evening was the first contest between the
Nationals and Calumets. in which the lat
ter came out victorious by but one pin.
The Nationals also lost the third game.
and as the Lenox team took two from the
Stars the Lenox club now occupies fifth

The damage suit Of John E. York against
the Artificial Ice and Storage Company
went to trial yesterday in Room 1. Superior
Court. The suit is to recover $4,000 damages
on account of the alleged failure of the de-
PENDANT to carry out the terms of a con-
tract. In 1896 York transacted business un-
der the name of the Independent Ice Com
pany. He sold a great many coupon books,
he says, to ice customers, relying on the
defendant to furnish him from fifteen to
twenty tons of ice a day. In August of 1896.
refused TO sell him any more Ice and went
into a pool with other companies to raise
the price of ice. This action, he AYERS,
drove him out of business.

REPUBLICANS SHOULD SUPPORT
THE AMENDMENT.

l. Because he believes i'm government
by the people, for the people and of the
people, which is impossible with negro
suffrage.
. Because he believes in free ballot
and fair count, which is impossible with
negro suffrage.
5. Because he believes that the people
should control their own money, railroads,
telegraph lines, etc., ETC., which is inl-
possible with negro suffrage.
f. Because he believes in the initiative
and referendum, which is impossible with
negro suffrage.
3. Because he believes in more schools,
larger schools, better schools, which is
impossible with negro suffrage.
6. Because he believes in the progress
and development of Southern industries,
which is impossible with negro suffrage.
Z. Because he believes in 'peace ON
earth and good will among men," which
is impossible with negro suffrage.
s. Because he believes in the safety
and protection Of individual property
against public plumber and excessive tax
alton, which is impossible with negro suf-
frage.
O. Because he believes in protecting the
humblest and poorest women and girls
against Insult and violence, which rs i'm
possible with negro suffrage.
10 Because he hopes to see the negro
a good Iaborer and a peaceable citizen,
which is impossible with negro suffrage.
II. Because he wishes his wife and
children to be safe alone at night I'M their
little home--to go safely alone along the
public road-to go safely alone into the
fields and woods, which is impossible with
unrestricted negro suffrage.
u Because he believes the white men,
though poor and illiterate, to be better
than the negro, and to be entitled to more
political power, which is impossible with
negro suffrage.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-02-02
EVERY GENUINE POPULIsT WILL
SUPPORT THE AMENDMENT.

/. Because the negro vote has lost
them every Southern State.
2. Because the negro vote keeps re-
spectacle Southern white men who be-
leve in Republican policies from joining
the Republican party
3 Because the negro vote makes the
Southern Republican Party distinctly
"nigger party" and the Democratic
party distinctly white party" 1t is
not difficult to see which party will win
with such division.
4 Because, if the Republican party is
not a ''nigger party" now is a mighty
fine chance to show it, when the only
issue is "nigger suffrage"
3. Because the poor white will fever
vote with the negro, and the Republi-
cans cannot claim to- be friends to the
poor white while preferring the negro.
6 Because the settlement of negro suf-
frage will put an end to sectionalism,
will strengthen the Union and build up
the South.
Z. Because it will put an end to cleo
ton riots, will diminish rapings, lynch
ings, mobs, ETC., etc.
Because it will make the negro a bet
ter laborer, more peaceable citizen, a
more useful man and less a criminal.
8 Because it will make possible a d.
vision of the white vote, as well as the
black vote, between the two parties, and
will abolish race prejudice as factor in
politics.
10. Because it will undo a crime and
a folly put upon the South by Federal
bayonets at the close of the war.
II Because it will relieve Southern
white Republicans of the disgrace and
dishonor of upholding any longer this
crime and folly and outrage.
II. Because the white people of the
South are not going to submit longer to
this iniquity and the sooner Southern
white Republicans realize this fact the
better for all parties concerned.
