Durham, n. c., OF S.-The ten thous-
and dollar damage suit of T. f. Smith
against the Erwin Cotton Mill Company
came to sudden close yesterday after
noon. 1t was decided in favor of the
company without even being allowed to
go to the jury
The attorneys for the defendants gave
notice of an appeal to the Supreme court.
Hon. j. Lindsey Patterson, independent
candidate for Congress- who spoke at the
court house in this city last night, devot-
ed most of his speech to attacking Hon
w. W. Kitchin's official career in Con-
gress. He said among other things that
he understood that his opponent was try
ing to stir up strife started by his pro
totype, William Jennings Bryan: that he
Patterson had been brought forward
by the business interest of this district
against Mr.. Kitchin; that Mr.. Patterson
was his friend personally; that what he
should say against him would be in re-
gard to his political career. He then tried
to show that with the exception of get
ting an appropriation for public build
ing in Durham, appropriation for mon
ument to Nash, and one or two other
measures, he had done nothing.
In the concluding remarks of his speech
Mr. Patterson attempted to create a false
impression by saying that Mr.. Kitchin
was going over the district attempting to
turn the hand of the employee against
his employer.

A DISMAL TwENTY-SECOND. The
weather today has been exceedingly
uncomfortable, and lcse who had an
ticipated the Twenty 81 cond of Feb
ruary liu which outdoor programmes
would be carried out as holiday were
doomed to disappointment. The fall.
ing weather of yesterday continued
throughout the night and the streets
this morning were covered with snow
and water-or, as rivermeD call 1t,
"Snow BROTH" By yesterday afternoon
the Intersections of many streets we're
almost impossible except to those wear
ing gum boots or others who were will
ing to wade. On some streets the
water overlooked the cutters and was
awash with the pavements, and en-
croaobed upon the "crowns" In the
centre of the thorougbfares. The water
10 many CUTTERS rushed as strong as
that 10 mill-rsces and roared as 1t
passed into the sewers. By night the
conditions grew worse. The rain con-
tinued ID fall, while the wind came 10
ftful flaws from the northeast and
cloud chased cloud atbwart the
heavens. The streets we're almost de-
sort ID, only an occasional pedestrian
being seen, aud he or she was making
laborious strides, slipping, sliding aud
humping cutters In proceeding home
ward. The trsius on the electric rail-
way caused: balls of fire to emsnate
from the wires. and the electricity
snapped aud danced almost all the time
the cars were In motion. The Ion =,
dreary night brought no relief and this
morning it was seen that the conditions
were 10 no wise different from thos q
prevailing when people fell asleep.
Rain was still falling, tas wind war
holding from the same unpropltious
quarter and the cutters and streets
were flooded. There was q spit Of
snow about IL o'clock. Business
throughout the day has been materially
intsriered with, and comparatively few
people have been moving about. AZ

the city were rung at noon 10 respect
