■recently non-suited caie of Robert
Ooede against the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad company of which, the
former claimed 18.000 damages. *
Mr. Gaede entered suit several
months ago, declaring that the rail
road company had failed to deliver a
saw-mill acording to agreement, and
that when he had finally received the
mill, he found It to have been dam
aged during transit. As a result he
claimed to have lost business amount
| Ing to *8.100. The other *500 he asked
as payment for expenses borne by him
j in effecting repairs.
! Rearing of the case was set for the
! early part of June. When the day
; arrived, however several of the plaln
] tiff's most important Witnesses were
; not on hand and the case was non
i suited at the plaintiffs request.
Thursday morning, the court issued
j an order allowing the filing of a bill
I of exceptions to the non-suiting, which
means that the case must now“go to
the cqurt of appeals.

CROPS AND TRADE
Bradstreet's Saturday will say for
Richmond and vicinity:
Contlnuel seasonable weather hag
favored crop growing and has stimu
lated rptall trade. Wholesale trade
In some line* Is good, while other lines
show slowness. Dry goods are quiet.
Sales of shoes and rubber goods for
future shipments continue good. Pro
duce Is quiet, except In shipments of
vegetables to Northern markets. Drugs
and naval stores continue fairly ac
tive. Building material and hardware
are in good demand. The cotton crops,
though late, are reported much Im
proved, as are most of the growing
crops. Collection* are irregular.
SISTERS COME HERE
TO SHY FAREWELL
To bid a last farewell to their broth
er. two sisters of Angelo Hamilton,
convicted slayer of Mr< Sallic Hicks,
of Lynchburg, who will pay the pen
alt? for his crime in the electric chair
at the penitentiary Friday mi'rn'ng,
were sad figures at the State prison
Thursday. The women traveled here
from Durham. N. <\. for a linal In
terview with their brother.
Hamilton was to have been put to
death last Friday, hut In or lev .«
give the murderer's relatlv-s an op
portunity to visit "him he ins rvip'ted
for one week by executive clemency.
This was the sixth time that Cover*
nor Mann resipted the pri toner.
From the tirst the G<>v.*,nor ini
been deeply Interested in the cats,
and went through a volumln ■ »* pile
of evidence relating t" the iria. So
impressed was he with the aibdn'it
of the principal witness, John Arm
strong. that a commutation ot sen
tence appeared assured.
But in an interview with Armstrong
the Governor decided that his affldavjj
was not substantiated, and he there
fore found no grounds for pardoning
Hamilton.
Armstrong in his sworn atau-mvr.t
pronounced the killing of Mrs. Hicks
to be accidental. He stated that Ham
ilton was drunk at the time >f tin*
shooting He was wildlv discharging
his revolver in a Lynchburg p.casino
resort when Armstrong grabbed his
arm. This, the witness declirc*,
brought the revolver in Hamilton's
I hand on a level with :he ho i> of his
! victim.
1 It wae an account of this testimony
that Governor Mann's imoret* wi.s
aroused. The Governor's sxmpa'nies
