the stove for the purpose of warming his feet and getting dry. He proceeded without mishap to Cutawba Junc, tion. Here all the passengers except himself got out. He closed the doors and windows of the caboose, built up the fire and seated himself on the same stool by the stove for comfort. Presently there was a tremendous jolt and he was thrown some eight or ten feet along the floor of the car, sustaining serious bruises. Some of the train men helped him out of the car to the ticket | office, aud when asked by the conductor whether he was hurt, said he hoped not. He swore positively that he had not previously been warned by Mr. Little or any one else as to the danger of the situation. He went on to testify that although he was never free from pain from that day, it was not until six months afterward that he was compelled to take up crutches ou account of his injuries. Rev. J. W. Little testified that he had gotten on the train at Osceola above Van Wyck, and saw Mr. Perry when that gentleman got ou ut Van Wyck. He was not acquainted with Mr. Perry at the time, and did not know who he was. Mr. Perry seated LI of Aim 1\Tr Dimseil UU a SIUUI at tuc Otuit, Little went to Mr. Perry and explained, that he, Little, had been occupying that same seat, and that he bad been thrown against the stove upon which he had burned his hand. He showed Mr. Perry the burned hand and said that if he had taken the advice of one of the trainmen, Starnes, he would have kept off the stool. He warned Mr. Perry that the train was a long one, and very rough, and that if Mr. Perry should remain on the stool he would probably get hurt. Mr. Perry replied that be had ridden on railroad trains before, and Mr. Little repeated the warning. The journey to Catawba Junction was completed without mishap. Here it was announced that there would be a stop of half an hour. While all the other occupants of the car were preparing to get out, Mr. Little again went to Mr. Perry and advised bim to get out. .Mr. Perry paid do attention. Mr. Little got out and watched the work of coupling until he again became alarmed for the safety of Mr. Perry. He went to the cab door, < stuck in his head, and said: "Old man, hear me ; if you sit there you m?v irpf, vonr head broke, esneciallv if "**v / ~? / * this train continues to kick as it did at Osceola." Mr. Perry paid no attention and Mr. Little went into the ticket office, from which be continued to watch the cab. Presently the train struck up against the cab, and through the wiudow, Mr. Little saw Mr. Perry's body being projected along the car. After Mr. Perry was brought into the ticket office, Mr. Davis asked him ? if he was hurt. Mr. Perry said he hoped not; that his back had been hurt before. Mr. Perry aud Mr. Little introduced themselves, and Mr. Perry said to Mr. Little: "If I had taken your advice, I would not have beeu hurt." Mr. Perry's injuries"grew more painful, and after a while he began to groan in agouy. There was no especial effort on the part of the counsel to attack the testimony of either minister; but each side attempted to show by argument how the other may have been mistuken. The defendant held that the testimony of Mr. Little showed that Mr. Perry was guilty of contributory negligence, and the plaintiff contended that it was the duty of the defendant to shift its cars without such bumping as would make such an accident possible. Argument of the case occupied the ' the greater part of Wednesday, aud was not concluded until after 5 o'clock in the afternoon. All of the speeches were able, and undoubtedly of more or less effect. Mr. SJcCaw's speech for the defense is generally conceded by those who heard it to have been an unusually good ode. Mr. , Glenn presented the law and the facts of his side, clearly and logically. Major Hart made a strong speech from a legal standpoint, and Colonel Johnstone's speech was a most eloquent effort. From the judge's charge it appeared that most of the law was on the side of the defendant. The jury remained out but a short time, and returned with a finding of $3,000 for the plaintiff". One of the jurors afterward told the reporter that there was but little difference of opiuiou on the subject. The highest amount named as a proper award was $4,000, and it was not difficult for the jury to get together. Defendant's counsel failed to give notice of a motiou for a new trial; but they have siuce served notice of au appeal to the supreme court, ou exceptions, and the indications are that 2* ...*11 1\A Aintu o tuKSla Kof/wo t ho At W ill uo VjUiw u n into uviviv tuv vmuv . is fiually settled.

Mr. King will probably get his timber for the approaches down about Kershaw. The oak lumber for the flooring will probably be furnished by saw mill men of the western side of the county. Down to Business. The Indian Hook Power company has at last secured the titles to all lands necessary for the perfection of its plans. Some of the desired property was tied up with entailments, and this t he court has satisfactorily adjusted. The reporter is informed that within a few weeks now, contracts will be let for the construction of a dam, powerhouse and other desired works, at Neely's ferry, and within a short time thereafter work will be commenced with ull energy. It is estimated that the company will be able to develop anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 horsepower, and it is expected that most of this will be used in Rock Hill. Condition of the Crops. Mr. \V. O. Younublood, of Clay Hill, reports that some cotton has been planted in his section and on the road to Yorkville he sees that there is a good deal of it up. He expresses the opinion that the farmers are planting too much cottou aud uot enough corn. The corn, he says, has been pretty well cleaned out of the country, and it is going to take a lot of it to do next year. He thinks that people who will go in strongly for corn will hit it right. Mr. G. L. Riddle, of Zeuo, one of the most experieuced wheat men in the Piedmont, says that the present prospects for this crop are as good as he has ever seen at this time of the year. The only possible dangers that suggest themselves are storms or rust. With a dry May, provided there is no damaging storm, the wheat yield promises to break all previous records. AT THE CHURCHES.
