Blue Ridge Railroad Lost on Its Trunk Suit.

In the Court of Common Pleas
yesterday the entire day was con-
sumed in the trial of the case of
Mrs. Jane B. Adger, of Charleston,
against the Blue Ridge Railway
Company. This was an action for
damages for the loss of q trunk.
The case was given to the jury in
the afternoon and after several hours
deliberation the jury gave verdict
for $1,278.60, this being SO moro
than the exact valuation that Mrs.
Adger placed upon the articles that
were in the missing trunk. The
plaintiff was represented by Maj. a.
I. Smythe, of Charleston, and Hon,
Geo. r.. Prince, of Anderson, and
the railroad company by i. p. Goth
ran, of Greenyille, and Col. II. w
Simpson. The attorneys for the
railroad gave notice of a motion fol

Archaeological Discoveries.

Some highly interesting and valua-
BILE archaeological discoveries have
been made on the site of the ancient
Greek city Olbia. The site is situated
on the southern bank of the Boug,
about midway between Otchakoff
and Nicolaieff, and not far distant
from the estuary of the Dnieper.
This ancient city was colony of
Miletus 655 B. c., and was a great
center for Greek trade with the in
terror. 1t is generally maintained
among archaeological authorities that
a trade route extended from Olbia
across the country to the Northern
sea, and when find of ancient Greek
coins was made, il was contended to
be substantial proof of the fact. Re-
Gently, however, it was proved that
these coins we're spurious. Olbia
was destroyed by the Getm about 70
to 60 b. c., but it revived, and when
it was visited by Dion Chrysostom
about 100 A. d., it was again
flourlshlng city. The excavations
that are now in progress upon the
site of this city are being carried
out by M. Formakovski under the
auspices of the Russian Archeologi-
cal Society. Mr.. Formakovski has
succeeded in unearthing extensive
portions of the walls and foundations
of the original city, which date back
from the seventh century b. c.. The
masonry is identical with that of the
ruins of ancient cities excavated in
various parts of Greece. Before this
depth was reached, two different
strata of walls and easements bear
ing descriptions of the fourth and
first centuries b. @. were encoun-
tered. The stone blocks composing
the ruins of houses, temples, ETC., in
these upper strata are of remarkably
exact area, square proportions, and
exc, .lently dressed. The more solid
constructive work is, how, ,er, found
in the remains of the original city.
At this depth there was unearthed a
perfectly preserved wine cellar.
Some fifty huge jars or vases had
evidently contained red wine, now
turned to light powdery substance.
A large collection of valuable an
tiques in gold, marble and ancient
pottery has also been found in these
newly uncovered ruins. These have
been dispatched to the Hermitage at
st. Petersburg. M. Formakovski,
however, is carefully examining
every antique unearthed, to establish
its genuine character, as it was on
this site that the spurious tiara of
Saitaphanes, now in the Louvre, was
alleged to have been discovered.

A Christian Science Story.

A well-known physician, who is
somewhat skeptical as to the sound

tells this story of an ardent Eddyite

threateningly, to the dismay of the
youngster, who shrank in terror be-

him.

Owing to the complete success
that has attended the irrigation of
the land by the erection of the bar
rage at Assuan on the Nile, scheme
is being formulated for increasing
the height of the dam by 10 feet 6
inches. The realization of such
project will enable the Irrigation
Department to retain behind the bar
rage an additional thousand million
cubic meters of water, which will
suffice for an increase to the peren-
nially irrigated area of half a million
acres and add $75,0o0,00o to the
wealth of Egypt. According to the
recently published report of the
Assuan reservoir compiled by Sir
William Willcocks, late director
general of the reservoirs, the whole
of the water kept back by the dam
has been devoted to special tracts,
and the Egyptian government cannot
entertain any applications for water.
The cost of raising the barrage will in-
volve an expenditure approximating
$2,5OO,OOO, which money will be de-
frayed out-of the public debt surplus.

Tom Watson Nominated for President.

Thomas e. Watson, of Georgia
for President, and Thomas H.
Tibbes, of Nebraska, for Vice Presi,
dent, was the ticket nominated by
the Populist National Convention
which was held in Springfield, ILL.,,
last week. The names Of VIM. "

Williams, of Indiana, were also
placed before the convention fol-
President, but before the list OF
States had been completed in the
roll call their names were withdrawn
and Watson was nominated by
acclamatiou.
Former Senator Allen made good
his word that he would not enter
into any scramble for the nomina.
tlon, and while the nominations were
being made he twice instructed the
chairman of the Nebraska delegation
to say that his name must not 90
before the convention. In the face
OF this, however, be received over &c
votes.
Whether Mr., Watson will accent
the nomination or not no one in the
convention seemed to know, and all
efforts to secure some definite infor.
nation from Watson's friends failed
Watson was quoted as saying that il
the Democrats at ST. Louis nomi.
mated Hearst he would support him
for President.
The platform adopted ia brief and
is a practical reaflirmation of the
Omaha platform of 1892. 1t was
adopted as reported by the commit.
tee without a dissenting voice.
The platform adopted reaffirms
former platforms and demands the
issue of money by the COVE 'nment ir
such quantities as shall maintain sta
bility in prices; the establishment
of postal savings banks abolition o.
child labor; the eight-hour day, anc
the initiative and referendum.
Government by injunction is de-
nounced. The monopoly plank reads
that to prevent unjust discrimination
and monopoly the government should
own and control the railroads anG

nature are monopolized; to perfec

should own and operate genera

withdrawn. Corporations being tn,
