Buyina Equipment.

Messrs. W. B. Cornwell and Will
liam Trapnell, president and chief en-.
gineer respectively, OF the the Hamp.
shire Southern Railroad, spent Sunday
night here with their father-in- aw,
Captain w. B. Colston. They left on
Monday morning for Philadelphia to
make some contracts fer the rolling
stock of their railroads which is now
being constructed. They expect to
have the rails down and the trains
running as far as Moorefield by the
first of January and before spring the
road viii be built on TO Petersburg
and during the next year will be push
ed on to Franklin. This will open up
a rich country and will doubtless bring
to the promoters a rich reward.

Keller Acquitted.

Some weeks ago there was trial
before Squire S. S. Felkcr in which l..
C. Wintermoyer sued Frank Keller for
horse which it was alleged that
Keller had overloaded and driven to
death. After hearing the case the
court gave judgement for the horse
and costs against the defendant.
This week the case came up again
on warrent sworn out by Mr.. Jacob
McQuilkin, the local officer of the
State Humane Society for cruelty to
the horse. This time ii was state
case and the defendant demanded a
jury. 1t was shown that Keller was
using the horse which belonged to
Wintermoyer in hauling wheat from
his ho-ne near McCoy's Ferry to North
Mountain. that he had several other
men helping him and that John Bar
leycorn was also present and render
ing his valuable assistance. II seems
that there had been one load hauled
and that Keller was making his second
load. A lady, who seems TO have been
an eye witness to the killing Of the
horse, said that she saw the men.
three On the wagon and that all were
yelling as if they were drunk, that
just as they came by her house they
began to whip the horses which were
in a gatlop and it being Il very hot day
the horses were much tagged. The
date was July q last. The lady said
that the horse suddenly fell and in a
few moments was dead.
1t came out in the testimony that
there was &c bushels of wheat on the
wagon ait the time and tlsat the road
was very rough. The jury rendered a
verdict of acquittal though many
who heard the evidence say they
could not see upon what ground they
could do so. The accused was dis
charged. Mr.. Robert Fl. Boyd repre-
scented the state and Mr. Z. G. VIII
liams was for the defence.
