QUESTION OF LIABILITY.
Judge Kelly Hears Arguments in
Important Case.

important Case.
Judge Kelly listened to the arguments
and took under Amusement the case of
the Northwestern Telephone Exchange
company to recover 81 ,075 damages from
the Maryland Casualty company for al
legged breach of contract.
The case grew out of an accident SuS-
tanned by one of the employees of the
telephone company, 0. n. Harrell in
October of 1899. The accident was not a
severe one at the time, and as the man
kept right at work, it was not reported
to the company Later, however, he fell
from pole and sustained severe injuries,
the date of the October accident, and the
company settled with him after the
Casualty company had refused to assume
liability in the case, claiming that they
had not been properly notified of the suit.
The telephone company paid Harrali $3.50
damages and other costs brought the
amount up to $i,G15, which amount they
are trying to recover from the Casualty
company.
After hearing the evidence and argu-
mentS, Judge Kelly stated that he would
permit either party TO the suit to take
a stay of sixty days when the decision
was handed down.

Lecture to a Young Man.

The following incident in the muni-
cipal court in the city of Greenvill,
published in the ''News" is worthy of
reproduction.
There was scene witnessed in the
City Court a short while since that
made lasting impression on those who
were present. \ young man was ar
raigued before the court for the trans
gression of the law. 1t seems that he
had been before His Honor on some
previous occasion, and it was not en-
pected that mercy would be shown
him.
He comes from good family. He
was we'll dressed and made a good ap-
pearance. He was not hardened
criminal. but his course in life had been
wild and reckless for a year or two.
The evidence in the case was conclu-
sive, and he made no defence. He was
found guilty of the charge against him
and was told to stand up and receive
his sentence.
When he arose he was pale and
nervous. His Honor asked him his
age. The answer was q years. His
Honor, Mayor Williams, then said to
hi,n in voice that was tremulous
with emotion: young man, time flies.
it seems to me but yesterday that | saw
YOU in swaddling cloth, the pride OF
YOUR father and the idol of a loving
mothers heart. I saw you bloom into
promising boy. the Joy of your loving
mother and pride OF your kind father;
l saw them. directing you in the paths
of truth and righteousness: l saw you a
faithful Sunday School scholar: and
saw YOU grow to young manhood and
hoped and thought that you would be
comfort and solac9 to your loving par
ents in the declining years; but instead
of being pleasure to them, you are
bringing their grey hairs in sorrow to
an untimely grave by the course that
you are pursuing.
Young man. let me entreat you TO
depart from your evil ways, shake OF
your bad habits, shun your evil com
>panions: go to your God and ask Him
forgiveness for the many tranSgres-
sions of His Holy lay, and then try to
be a helper and blessing to your faith
er and mother, and to those that still
love and pray for you. Young man, 1t
pains me to have to pronounce the SEN
tence of the law upon you, but duty
compels me to do it, and hope that al
ter you have paid the penalty OF the
outra aged law that you will 90 hence and
be a better and wiser man, and may

A Tribute Of Respect.

In the course of worldly events few
occurrences are, humanity speaking, so

however, in his knowledge as to what
is best and sometimes sees fit to pro-
ceed in his providencein manner that
completely confounds and amazes our

been giving it.
DR.. Shirley turned his attention
again to Mrs. Nav. Mr.. Nav,
snpposing bottle on the msntle
to contain the medicine, poured
out teaspoonful and gave it to
the child.
Screams from the child told
that something was wrong, and
on investigation it was found that
Mr.. Nav had given carbolic acid,
bottle of which DR.. Shirley had
placed on the mantle, instead of
the fever mixture which was on
the table. DR.. Shirley did all in
bis power to save the child but the
deadly acid did its work in o short
while, the child dying IN great

Price of Print Cloth.

Fall River, Mass, April 81 =
The reduction in the price of print
cloths has oni1 made further
curtailments probable. The price
paid for weaving cloth today is
the highest in the history of the
business, and the margin of profit
is as small as it ever was. Under
such conditions 1T Is feared that

big Charley'S" Fourth Man.
Elephant Kills Animal Trainer
and is Then Poisoned.

Peru, Ind, April 25-Henry
Hoffman, the wolI known animal
trainer with the Wallace shows,
met horrible death here today,
being killed bv "Big Charley" a
monster elephant, while the ami
NAL was bathing in the Missins-
ineaw river. "Big Charley"
wound his trunk about Keeper
Hoffman and hurled him far into
the stream. The man was unin.-
iured, and when he returned hs
said:
"Why, Charley, didn't think
that of you; aren't you ashamed
of yourself 2"
The next instant Hoffman was
grabbed bv the big elephant and
thrown to the bottom of the river
and held there by the forefeet of
the animal. Then, with great
roar, the elephant ran away.
Several showmen shot at him with
no effect. He broke down fences
and roamed about in big field,
keeping everybody at distance.
Apples loaded with strychnins
were thrown near him, and he ate
one. An hour later he laid down
and was in terrible agony. A
rife shot finished him.
"Bis Charley" weighed over
three tons, was valued at $40, 900,
and in his lifetime had killed four
men.
