Judge Allen, in the Superior Court yes
terday morning, was petitiOned by coun-
sci for defendant in the case of Miss
Matte Barker against the Raleigh Cot
ton Mills to set aside the jury's verdict
of $4,000 for the plaintiff, Miss Baker, on
the ground that the damages We're ex-
cessive. MIR. S. T. MOrdecai opened the
argument, and he was followed by Mr..
W. c.. Douglass for the plaintiff, Mr.. r.
II Battle closed for the defendant. 1t
was quite a spirited argument, but the
judge declined to change the verdict of
the jury. The defense then made formal
motion for an appeal to the Supreme
Court.
A large part of the day yesterday was
occupied with the trial of Z. NJ. May
n2rd's suit against K. w. Merritt. This
was an action for the possession of some
meat valued at S27 and some corn valued
al $50. 1t seems that Maynard had done
some work for Merritt and gotten in his
debt. Maynard claimed that Merritt had

gally. Merritt declared that he had be-
come responsible for Maynard's bill with

HICKS STILL AT r
Reported That he Says he Will Kill Others
and Then Surrender,

Messrs. @. B. Gully, deputy sheriff, and
j.. w. Gully, of Oak Grove township, who
live near where Edgar Hicks, colored,
otherwise known as Smith, killed John
Holloway, colored, last Sunday, say that
Hicks is still at large. They say that
Hicks wife, the only Witness, said that
Hicks begged Holloway to come and play
five up with him. Holloway at first said
he did not nave time, but finally did go
in. Then he got his axe and went out
to cut some wood to make a fire. He
came back with one stick of wood under
his arm and the axe sticking in another
piece of wood. He laid the wood on the
fire and Holloway was sitting in front of
the fire nodding. Hicks told his wife to
cook them some dinner. She says she
turned around to get the lid of the skillet
to put on the fire. While she was doing
this she heard the lick, which her husband
gave to Holloway on the head. He died
about eleven o'clock that night. She says
they had no fuss, and that Holloway
and Hicks were apparently friendly.
Mr.. @. B. Gully, deputy sheriff., says
that Holloway was one of the best col
ored men in Oak Grove township. Hicks
says that he and Smith were not friendly,
and that he killed him when he saw that
he was trying to draw his pistol.
1t is reported that Hicks, who is in
hiding. say that he wants to kill two
more negroes and one white man before
he is ready to surrender. The report
that Hicks did the killing because his
wife thought too much of Holloway is
said to be mere suspicion.
The Governor will be asked to offer a
reward for the arrest of Hicks.

HOW FASHIONS ORIGINATED.

High stock collars, which have donC
so much to destroy the beautiful out
line and modelling of the feminine
throat, says the Philadelphia Inquirer,
were introduced by Queen Alexander,
whose neck is badly disfgured and Is
invariably concealed either with q
high collar or velvet band
Before the accession to the throne
of the late Queen Victoria, ladies'
gowns we're worn short. One day, in
alightiDg from her carriage, the Queen
bruised her heel, and the following
day a grand reception was to be held
at st. James Palace The Queen re-
ceived with her foot extended on q
cushion, covered by the long skirt Of
her gown. The English ladies of the
court thought themselves obliged also
to lengthen their skirts, and thus a
new style entered.
