DAMAGE SUITS AGAINST CITY.
The Answers Are Filed In the City. barn In
Jury Cases.

Suits have been brought against the
city to recover damages for injuries sus-
tanned by two employees in the falling OF
a barn that was being erected by the city
on its garbage farm last February.
Answers to these suits have been filed
by the city attorney, Mr.. Walter l. Wat
son. In these he sets up two grounds
of defense:
l. That the work was in charge of the
Sanitary Inspector who employed all
the labor and purchased the material
used in the building of said barn." and
that this garbage farm, at the time of
the accident, was operated under the
Health Department of the city, and under
the entire control management and SUI
pervision of the Sanitary Inspector of the
city of Raleigh
2. That the plaintiffs who are bringing
the suit ''carelessly and negligently omit
ted to put any permanent braces to sai1
frame althouh materials, nails, etc, for
that purpose had been furnished" thai
at the time of the faIlin of the acefdent,
"plaintif was attemptin to put on the
roof and sheetin to said barn. although
the frame thereof had not been braced -
and that plaintiff had full knowledge Of
the defective construction of the barn and
failure to brace the same, both before
and at the time of the accident"
From this defense it is argued in the
answer that the plaintiffs assumed the
risk of their own negligence by remain
ing in the building during storm accom-
panied by violent wind; that the stone
masons and carpenters were all employed
together for common purpose and at
the same period of time; and that as this
defendant is advised and believes, The
knocking off of said strips or temporary
braces by the stone masons and carpen-
tiers was an act of fellow servant, and
gives the plaintiff no action against this
defendant"

Negroes Killed by Lightning.

In Robson county. near Parkton. on
Monday afternoon, three negroes were
killed by lightning. They were Charles
Young, his wife and child.
Young and his wife were picking cot
ton and their three children were sitting
under walnut tree nearby. A shower
of rain came up and Young and his Vile
joined the children under the tree, the
mother taking her baby, less than a
year old, in her lap. "Nhe husband was
leaning on one side of the tree, the wife
with the baby in her arms on the other,
the two year old daughter between them,
and enc elder child some distance IN
front A bolt of lightning struck the
tree and, running down on either side TO
the very points where the mother ana
father sat, killed them instantly. The
little girl who sat in the middle was
also killed. but strange to say, the baoy
was found in its dead mothers arms
uninjured. The other child was also
unhurt. The bodies were all found in the
exact position which they occupied
when struck and showed no evidence
of mutilation whatever.
