KILLED IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Supreme Court BOlds the Case Can be Tried
in North Carolina.

Among the decisions handed down yes
terday in the Supreme Court was the Ont
of r. H. Harrill admr. VS.. the South
Carolina and Georgia Extension Railway
Company of North Carolina, the company
being a domestic one in this State.
One question raised in the suit was the
competency Of a North Carolina court to
hear the case as the killing of John Met
calf, an engineer, of whom Harrill IS the
administrator. took place in South Caro-
lima The sun was brought in Rutherford
county and there was verdict for the
plaintiff. The court after hearing the case,
decided that it could be heard in this State
and cited authority, especially where from
a death in West Virginia a suit was heard
in Virginia.
Metcalf was an engineer on the road be
tween Blacksburg, S. G. and Marion, n
c. He was killed at Buffalo Greek, where
he attempted to drive his engine over a
bridge and leslie across a swollen creek
after being warned of the danger, that the
bridge was out of line and unsafe. He
went over without the conductors orders,
after having with others examined the
trestle The fireman and train hands
walked over The engine went over slow
ly and was on the opposite bank, and
looked as if danger was over Jack Is
safe" cried some one when the bridge
gave way and the engine went hack into
the swollen creek and Metcalf was killed
At the trial the Judge allowed the evil
dence concerning the expression, Jack Is
safe" to be heard, but in his charge told
the jury not to consider it as bearing upon
the question of the security of the bridge
The Supreme Court held that it was ad-
missible evidence and granted a new trial
and comes near saying that there was CON
tributory negligence on the part of Met
calf. The opinion was written by Mont
gomery J., and in the result is concurred
in by Douglas J.

There has been a change in the control
of the Hotel Dorsett, and the change
means a new life for it.
Mr. w. L. Dorsett, who for some time
has so successfully conducted the hotel,
has recently disposed of an interest in
the property to Mr. NJ. Ashby Lambert OF

Mr. Lambert is one of the city's younger
business men, but is popular, energetic
and progressive. With his wide acquaint-
ance and popularity among the travelling

IS almost impossible for the people beyond
the mountains to get out at all much
less haul produce or goods Of any sort
to market this side of the mountains.
Hence the most of the business Of several
Of the counties north and west Of Wilkes
county goes either to Virginia or Tennes-

The Sender of the Internal
Machine Known.
An Arrest May b. Made at Any MOmen.--YOIiee
Refuse 10 Give Out Much Infor-
nation.
CBy the Associated Press.)

New York, May 12.-Much Of the mys-
terry surrounding the placing OF an Internal
machine on the pier of the Cunard Com
pany was cleared up today and an arrest
may be made at any moment. The police
have learned that the box was taken to
the pier from a boarding house in West 3lst
Street. known as the "Currie House and
patronized principally by theatrical folks.
The police also know the name of the man
who sent the box from the house and have
a good description of him. Who this man
is, however, Inspector McCluskey declines
to say and the proprietress of the estab-
hshment on being questioned by reporters
regarding her boarder would say nothing
except that he engaged a room about a
week ago, that he had paid his rent. and
that his effects were still in the house. To
the police, it is said, she has furnished full
information.
When asked what the motive for placing
the internal machine on the pier, was, In
spector McCluskey contented himself with
the mysterious reply that it was obvious"
The tracing of the box was brought
about by the voluntary statement Of JOS
eph Rooney, a Ninth Avenue express
man, who went to the Cunard pier today,
accompanied by one of his drivers, Peter
Battle, who declared himself to be the
driver of the green wagon which delivered
the box containing the internal machine
at the pier. Rooney and Battle after
wards went to police headquarters and
made detailed statement. Battle said that
on Thursday afternoon he was accosted on
his stand in Ninth Avenue by a man who
asked him to cart box from the Currie
House to the Cunard pier The man paid
him twenty-five cents and he went to the
house where woman helped him to car
ry down the box from the second floor.
He then drove to the pier, taking with
him, for company, two fellow express men,
one of whom sat on the box on the way.
After hearing the mems story, Inspector
McCluskey was satisfied that they were
innocent of any completely in the dyna-
mite pilot, and dismissed them after get
ting a full description of the man who
hired Battle to cart the box. The man is
described as being an American, of med
um height, with dark hair, tinged with
grey and well dressed in light clothing.
Detectives are keeping watch on the
house tonight, evidently in the expectation
that the man may return. He has not
been seen there since Saturday morning,
the day on which the box was discovered
on the pier One peculiar fact is that no
one in the house remembers having seen
the box brought in.
