Mr.. HANGER Wins.

A suit instituted by James e. Har :
ger, formerly of Augusta county, bt
now residing in Washington, ID. e..
against A l. Peters of Richmond. Va !,
for Infringement of patent No. ASS 69S
granted to Mr.. Hanger Dec 90, 1891,
was heard in Richmond last week be-
fore Judge Edmund Waddlll, Jr, of
the U. 5. Circuit Court. In the Origi-
nal suit. tried also before Judge Wad-
Oil III April last. it was held that Mr.
Hangers patei was valid and that it
mad been lnfringed by Mr. Peters, and
damages were allowed Mr.. Hanger.
Inc final hearing was to decide mo-
ton OF Peters asking the court to set
aside the verdict as contrary to the
law and the evidence; but the court
over ruled this motion, holding that
Peters would have to pay the damages
allowed and also the costs of the trial.
Both sides were ably represented by
attorneys from Richmond and Wash
ingtOn.
Mr.. Hanger was born and raised in
Augusta, near Churchville. He en-
listed in the Confederate army and lost
one OF his legs at Phillippl, Barbour
county. W. Va, June 3, 1861. It after
ward developed that his was the first
amputatiOn of limb on either side in
that war. No limb manufacturers
were accessible to Mr.. Hanger He
therefore made a limb for himself, the
ilrst one he had ever seen. He met
with such success that in a short time
ne was besieged by Confederate SOL
dlers to make limbs for them, and he
was engaged by the Southern Relief
f1nn IN En nrf f.nt hrvt
for all MANNED Confederate soldiers.
Then shortly after the war he was
awarded a contract, over all cOmpeti- |
tors. by the State of Virginia, to fur
nlSh limbs to her manned soldiers,
by wearing limbs of that period Mr..
Hanger realized their defects and set
about to remedy them, with the re-
suit that In 1891, after thirty years ex
perimentlng, wearing and making
limbs for the public, he was granted a |
an improved limb that does |
away with all cords and metallic |
springs In the knee, ankle and toe |
joints; that is much lighter and
stronger than the old cord leg and has |
many points OF superiority over the
old style limbs. Shortly after this pat
emit was granted. MI. Hanger employ
ed Mr.. Peters to work in his factory. |!
lie had only been short time with |
Mr.. Hanger when he left his employ
and began the manufacture of limbs,
1rst in Lynchburg and then in Rich
mond. 1t is the patent granted Mr..
Hanger for this improved limb which
was infringed by Peters.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Hanger to
obtain an accounting and an injuuc-
ion prohibiting Peters from further
nan ufacturlng limbs under this patent
md also holding liable all persons
lsing limbs made by Peters, which
ire an infringement on this patent.

Nervous Depression.

Summer months are peculiarly the
months Of nervous diseases, especially
nervous prostration and other depressed
states of the nervous system. People
who are not at all inclined to be nervous
or suffer from weak nerves find this
time especially trying. Sultry heat
and electrical disturbances Of the at
mosphere are probably the cause of
this.
1nvalids need to be particularly care
full to fortify the nervous system by
