CIRCUIT COURT
PROCEEDINGS
Negro Boy Is Given Large Ver-
dict.
Contributed.

The case of Mckinley Lyons, a negro
boy suing by his guardian, The Bank of
Hardinsburg and Trust Company, was
tried at the present term of Circuit
Court. The negro boy recovered So, $50
for injuries received in a wreck Of a
hand car
This is the 1t in which judgme Mt
was entered one year ago for the negro
boy against the Railway Company for
$500, but which Judgment was attacked
by Claude Mercer, employed by the
negro boys father, to have the judy
ment set aside and the judgment was
set aside and the case was tried on its
merits with the above result.
This case has been bitterly contested
by the Louisville, Henderson and St.
Louis Railway Company.
JAS X. Skilman, district attorney
for the Railway Company, X. A. Miller,
General Counsel for the Railway Com
pany, and Col. David X. Murray ap
peared for the Railway Company.
Col. Bennett H. Young was associat.
ed with Claude Mercer in a trial of this
action, representing the negro boy.
The celebrated case of Russell and
Hutchinson against Peter Sheeran and
Company which was tried in this Court,
resulting in a verdict of about 50, 900
for Russell and Hutchinson, and which
was appealed to the Court of Appeals
and reversed and sent back for another
trial, was settled and dismissed, Russell
and Hutcheson paving the costs of the
litigation.
This action was instituted for So 900
or 81, 900 damages which Russell and
Hutcheson said that they had sustained
by reason of Peter Sheeran and Com
pany violating stave contract but the
suit is now ended on the aforesaid
grounds.
Claude Mercer represented Sheeran
and Company in this litigation.
Another case of considerable local in
terest was tried, growing out of suit
instituted by the Farmers Union
against Sheeran and Company t. re-
cover $500, alleging violation of con-
tract on the part of Sheeran and Com
pany. The jury found in favor of

Germany as Harry Irwin Saw Il.

Mr.. Harry Irwin, who repre-
sents the Lands Tool Company,
of Waynesboro, making Cologne
Deutze, Germany, his headquar-
ters, left tnat country on August
18th, after the present war in
Europe began. He arrived at
the home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John A. Irwin, in McCon-
nellsburg, last Saturday evening.
Mr.. Irwin discounts many of
the stories told by returning tour
lists who claim that the Germans
treated them harshly. He said
that Americans in Germany lost
their heads" when war broke
out, and rushed pell-mell to the
stations that were already conges-
ted with troops that were being
moved to the front, and deman-
ded exit; when as a matter OF
course, the railroads could not
care for the mountains of bag
gage some Americans carry a
dozen trunks, in many instances.
Occasionally, some of them would
attempt to go in directions for
bidden to private individuals, and
when guards intercepted them
and turned them back, they, in
their excited state of mind, i'm
agined that they had been arrest
ed. Mr.. Irwin said that he had
no trouble whatever to reach the
coast of Holland and to find pas
sage with his baggage to Ameri-
ca; but he did not attempt to die
tate to the management of the
railroads the schedule on which
he desired to travel. Instead, he
calmly waited the convenience Of
the overburdened officials to put
trains at the service Of civilians.
Mr.. Irwin is at a loss to under
stand why Americans, of suppos-
ed experience in travel, should
expose themselves to hardships,
and to the loss Of baggage, when
if proper judgment had been ex-
ercised, they could have come
away with all their trunks.

Lawn Services Close.

The 1914 series Of lawn servi-
ces closed last Sabbath night.
During the months of July and
August good audiences met on
the Court House lawn, about 250
being the average number that oc-
cupied chairs, Court House por-
tico, and vehicles. Last year
rain drove the worshipers into
the M. E. church, or prevented
services altogether, several times.
During the season just closed
there was but one wet Sabbath
evening. At no time was the
heat oppressive, as it would have
been had the meetings been held
inside the wall of buildings. We
do not recall that any one of the
pastors conducted the services
more than twice, so that their
labors were lightened during the
hot months. On several occa-
sions we were treated to lectures
by officers of mission work, tenn
perance work, and organizers for
societies for the uplift of the
race. Every meeting had some
thing of special interest. We are
sure that the spirit of coopera-
ton between the denominations
of the town has been greatly
strengthened. Rev. j. L. Year
ick preached the last sermon on
the lawn for the summer. His
earnest appeal to his audience to
be live wires" in a spiritual
sense, as nearly all are in rela-
ton to business, was wellreceived
and we know that his plea will
bear fruit in our town.

Winter Eggs.

The hen that lays during the
winter months is one of two
kinds. She either molted in the
fall intime to regain her full vigor
before cold weather, or, she is
a pullet that matdred just as cold
weather set in and did not molt.
In addition to these natural con-
ditions she finds a place to roost
where she is free from draughts
and she has no lice. She finds
good, hard, sharp grit-n no smooth
slate. She is comfortable as in
summer time. A three-pound
Leghorn hen will lay her weight
in eggs during each winter month
if her owner will let her. If she
does not do so, it is not always
her fault. But think of the sum-
mer food, and the help she must
have, to lay three pounds of
eggs.

flee in the same rooms as Mr..
Sloan occupied for a telegraph Of
flee, and in exchange for teaching
Mr.. Alexander how to manipu-
late the key, Mr.. Alexander un-
folded to Mr.. Sloan the myster-
les of Blackstone, and in 1879,
Mr.. Sloan was admitted to prac-
tice at the Fulton County bar.
The study of law by Mr.. Sloan
and the study of telegraphy by
Mr.. Alexander wer pursued
merely as pastime and the plea
sure derived from the acquisition
of the knowledge gained. Not
being in very vigorous health,
Mr.. Sloan took advantage of the
opening Of the test station on
Rays Hill to place his son Walter
in charge of the local Office in
McConnellsburg and he went up
to the test station, with the re-
suit that the mountain air and
the advantages of outdoor life,
has done wonders for him physi-
cally.
Mr.. Sloan has received many
letters from the officials of his
company, thanking him for the
splendid service he has rendered
and congratulating him in strong
est terms for having made a re-
cord of fifty years of continuous
service with the Company. The
News joins the people of McCon-
nellsburg in congratulating one

faithful discharge of every duty

Our States Abandoned Farms.

This office received a bulletin
(No, 252) from the Department
OF Agriculture, Harrisburg, in
which is given a list of 106 unoc-
cupied farms in Pennsylvania.
Only one such farm is reported
from Fulton county. This farm
lies in Thompson township, and
belongs to the Henry Gordon
heirs. Huntingdon county has
three such farms. None are re-
ported from Bedford, or Franklin
counties.
AS We understand it, the origin
OF the bulletin had its conception
IN the newspaper articles which
gave the impression that one of
.ne reasons for the high cost of
1000 was because of the great
acreage of abandoned farm land,
N eastern states, that formerly
contributed to the sum total of
supplies. To find how far this
eaSon applied to Pennsylvania,
ne State, through the Bureau of
VauStlcs, compiled a list of un-
ccupled farms to meet the de-
iand on the Department for in
Ormation concerning these farms
ne list was compiled under the
rectlon of our former towns

Hcan.

How War Affects Us.

War in Europe affects this
country in several ways. Some
of our manufacturers export
much of their product, and since
war has spread over almost all of
the eastern continent, the coun-
tries engaged are not buying
much except foodstuffs. Some
Of the factories in this country
cannot get their supplies of raw
material from European mines,
plantations, and other sources.
German dyes are depended upon
to such extent in America that
the lack of them is seriously him
dering the American manufac-
turer of cloth, prints, and other
fabrics.
A war of such magnitude
makes commerce on the high seas
extremely hazardous since each
combating nation has armed crui
sers constantly on the lookout for
merchant vessels Of the enemy's S
country, and this prevents their
coming to our shores for our sur
plus products of the farm.
Trans-oceanic freighting is not
very profitable business, and il
has not attracted American in
vestors to any great extent. Too
many more lucrative opportuni-
ties for investment offer in Amer
lea. Hence, this country was
not in position to furnish neutral
vessels to carry grain, &c. to Eu-
rope when foreign vessels were
driven from the seas, and for
lack of this market for our sur
plus grain, prices are no higher
than in time of peace.
From this general view of the
situation it can be readily under
stood whymanyminers, laborers,
and skilled mechanics have been
laid off at many places. But we
look for a general reconstruction
of some of our American policies;
opportunities for so doing will be
presented by circumstances aris-
ing from the present worldwide
crisis. We will develop more of
our own resources hereafter, and
not be so prodigal with those al
ready developed.

LightniGg's Work.

Amos Saville was home for
several days last week. Last
spring he bought a nice farm
near Carlisle, Cumberland coun-
ty, and about a month ago sold
it and bought another near Mid
dletown, below Harrisburg. Mr..
Saville's Cumberland county farm
lay within three farms of J. j.
Conrad's whose dwelling wa s
struck by lightning and burned
two weeks ago. Amos says that
Mr.. Conrad had as fine brick
house as was in the county, and
that it was we'll furnished. The
loss was between 81, 500 and So,
500 with 81, 200 insurance. Two
barns, one on each side of Sa-
ville's former holdings, and near
Conrad's place, were struck by
lightning and burned at the time
the latter's house was destroyed.
Mr.. Saville reports that between
forty and fifty buildings were
struck by lightning in the Cum
berland Valley this summer.
