COURT AT ANNISTON.
An Important Case still Remains Un-
 settled.

Anniston, April 7.-(Special.)-I the City Court is still the case of the Ala bama Construction Company against the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, which was started Wednesday of last week. Yesterday at noon the court adjourned until this morning, there being some prospect of a settlement, but no agree ment was reached. At about 10 o'clock this morning the last of the plaintiff s witnesses was examined. and witnesses of the defendant are now being exam ined. Of these there is a long list. The prospects are that the case will consume the entire week, and it may not be ended when the hour of ad- journment arrives Saturday. There is $81.000 involved in the case.
 The criminal cases set for this week will be carried over until next week, unless the case on trial reaches an end earlier than circumstances indi- cate. There are fifteen prisoners in Jail awaiting trial in the City Court and a number out on bond. The bulk of the business set for the present term of court cannot be reached, and 10 adjust this Judge Coleman will very likely call a special term of court to be held in June.
 The case of M. A. Wheeler vs. New ton Wheeler. a cause of long standing In Cleburne County, was submitted to Chancellor Whitesides at the term of court just held in that County. The litigants are brothers. The defendant is administrator on the estate of Charles M. Wheeler and the plaintiff Is in court calling for a settlement. There are several points at issue. One of the contentious is about the amount of property received. The estate at the time of the decedents death is said to have been valued at $5.500. For long time the matter has been in the courts. The evidence in the case is volumin- ous. The Register in Chancery was fifteen days in taking 1t down. Cham cellor Whiteside has not yet rendered his decree.
 During his life Charles Wheeler f1g- ured conspicuously in the affairs of his county. He was prominent in bus mess circles, and was also well known In court circles. He had one case-the Wheeler and Alexander suit over a land lineAthat was in court twenty years It was three times before the Supreme Court.

Strawberry and Other Crops Injured
 at CulIman.

Cullman, April 7.-(SpeciaL )-There is much distress among the truck and fruit growers of this county this morn ing. A drizzling rain began falling early yesterday morning and continued most of the day. About dusk the wind ceased, the sky cleared up and a killing frost fell last night, and much ice was discovered in various places.
 The culture of strawberries and various other fruits have been very large in this county, and this year the yield was looked forward to as being the banner one. owing to the increased acreage. but last nights weather has damaged the strawberry crop to an alarming extent. and the blow will be felt heavily in every channel of trade in this section. Had the frost been a dry one the damage would not have been so bad. The water that filled the blossoms from yesterdays rain froze and killed the blossom. The culture of vegetables has also been very heavy in this county. and they also suffered greatly, and the early crop of snap beans and other tender plants are injured.
