Miss Bartel's Wa'k Ended She is Car ried Off the Track in a Dying Condition- New York star. Bartel. the "Westchester Miss Annie Milkmaid," who set ont on M.ondy last to rival Mme Anderson's famous walk,was car ried from the track in an utterly exhaust ed condition. The task Miss Bartel sought to accomplish was that of covering 3 000 quarter miles in 3,000 consecutive quarter hours. When removed from the track she had scarcely completed one Sixth of this. The exact record was 564 quarter miles and two laps,' rather over 141 miles in all. Her walking yes terday vias done with difficulty. Her limbs were stiffened and her feet were blistered and re. Her shoes were cat almost to pieces in the upper leather, and .n otfonUnt. waited on her alone the track with pungent smelling-salts, while another person kept her from falling. Hh'nHv Afternoon vesterday Miss Bartel presented a shocking appearance. Her face took on a sickly hue, discoloration s of the flesh were noticed behind her ears, dark places showed round the eyes, her arms dropped to her side, her walk was a painful limp, although she was supported by stalwart men on both sides And al tnoBt lifted round the track. The doctors looked grave, held frequent consultations; but still she kept on, dragging her Buffer ing body over the dirty saw dust. The room toward 3 o'clock became densely crowded, the atmosphere was suffrcatiug;, but the physicians ordered all tbe windows to be closed. Tne excitement increased, . u i,,atHnT each other to set a nuo rcio J . , . . rru eight of tbe miseraoie oycuiouio. ,,r nreatnre after each quarter The hour walk was thrown into tbe arms of thote waiting to receive ber on tbe track, and as she plodded along she cast her eyes pity ingly at the gaping crowd, as if to im plore their helD. "Oh, what tor ture,-" said one lady, as she rapidly descended the stairs and passed out; another lady rushed after ber, crying bitterly, perchance at tbe hame of being a witness of stick an exhibition. Still the girl was dragged along, her bead resting on the shoulder of one of ber sap porters, while every few moments the tears would start from her partially-closed t-yts, her hps would twitch convulsively; and tbe would wildly cUp her band on ber heart as if to Btop its heavy throbbing forever. It took ten minutes to drag ber round the track seven times to complete the quarter-mile, so that she had only five minutes to reach on each quarter. Then one of the persons interested in the show laid hold of Miss Bartel by the arm affd waist and forced her speed so that the two last quarters she made were covered iu 7 minutes. Men began to whisper "shame," as the poor girl concluded the last trip around the sawdust, while knots of interested sports clapped and cheered, then a rush was made for the platform in the wake of the physicians, who had just hurried thither. Wben the buzz of excitement had subsided, Doctor Little said : "We have decided to take Miss Bartel off the track for a s'hort period. She is suffering from circumstances over which we have no control." A voice shouted, "How long will she be off?1' The answer was, "about an hour." It was then settled that Miss Bartel should have two hoars' rest, and tbe crowd were informed that she would re sume her walk at 5:39 o'clock. "That's thejast of her; she won't go on any more," waB the remark of the knowing ones. This prophecy pjoved oorrecr. At 5:30 the hall was crammed with excited men, of all ages, and, a few" women. At 5:45 it was definitely announoed that Miss Bar tel was off the track for good. Inquiry viiuiiou mat sue was completely broken down, and lying in a state of semi uncon sciousness. When carried from the track, her extremities were cold, her tawdry suit bung loosely about her body, the attend ams were chafing her hands, and her face wore the appearance of death. UJWEST SUPREME COURT OPIN IONS, JANUARY TERM, 1879. Reported for the News by Walter Clark, Attorney at Law. iiy Smith, C J : 19 Paschall vs Bul lock from Granville. It is lncumoent on the appellant to make out bis case and show errot. Where no statement of facts were proved upon tbe trial and no assignment of errors appear in tbe record sent up to this court the judgment below must be affirmed. By Smith, C J: 20. State vs Leak from Ricnmond. Ou a trial for forgery it is sufficient at the trial to show any person who could be defrauded and against whom the in teDt to defraud is directed, in proof of the general averment of the intent to defraud. It is not' necessary or proper that the verdict should specify tbe person intend ed to be defrauded. Tbe words "order for the deiiyery of goods" in our statute only includes orders drawn by persons having a disposing power over the goods upon a person under obligation to obey. It is not however so restricted in an in dictment concluding at common law. By Smith, C J; 21. Bonh&m vs Craig from New Hanover. Where an allegation in the complaint is not denied in tue answer,the fact is ad mitted and tbe effect of the admission is as available to the plaintiff as if found by the jury. Aa issue as to such lact ia wholly uoneeoagary and immate rial. Where an action is not instituted to correct or reform the deed itself on the ground of accident, traud, mistake or un due advantage, parol evidence is inad missible to convert an absolute deed into a trust or mortgage. Where a parol agreement to change an absolute deed into a mortgage or trust is deoied by tbe answer, it is unnecessary for the defend ant to set up the statute of frauds in his pleadings. By Smith, C J, 22. Mason vs McCor mick from Bladen. Where a witness was rendered incom petent to testify lor the plaintiff as to a conversation with a deceased person un der whom the defendant claims title by being surety on the prosecution bocd he cannot be rendered competent by with drawal of the bond and the substitution of another as surety thereon.

For the Southern Home. Interesting and Newsy . Letter from Ealeiga What the Legislature is Doing. Raleigh, N C. Feb. 10. '79 Ma Editor : Stopping for a few davB in the Uapuol, I have thought that a line or two, concerning the sayings and doioes wv.wuo, ujiuii do lutereoting to tne people of your portion of the State. Tbe high toned conservatism of the journal over which you so ably and acceptably preside, induces me to offer you, these ob eervations. Raleigh growing, her trade iBcreaaiog, and her CnaaB8ume...tbe air and style of mefopjiitan life. An immense amount of State money is dis bursed here, which, like the dew in a rainless country, fertilizes everything it touches. I have always had ratber a liking for Raleigh and sincerely desire her prosperity. As a North Carolinian, 1 am in favor of doing all I can for her embellishment and adorn ment, bat bave sometimes thought, that persons, living in less favored sections, were entitled to some consideration. Just now our Solons are hammering away at retrenchment; objective point a little cheap capital, a paving the way, for their return to their present positions or something higner; reform bas not yet en tered into their hJeada. They are wild with the 'idea and desire to save and stop the small leaks, while the Agricultural Bureau with its $20,000 of expenditure a year, is regarded as something almost too sacred to be looked at, much less to be pruned. A. visit to tbe show-rooms is enough to satisfy any but a Granger, Of the vastness of . tbe acquisition tbere stored, and tbe undeveloped resources of the air, earth and water, yclept North Carolina. Tbe Secretary of State's office is anoth er leak, but like the crevasse in a dyke in Flanders is almost too gigantic to be grappled with. The genial Secretary's perquisites are about twice those of bis Republican predecessor, and almost equal to the salaries of the entire Supreme Bench. But the money which is not spent in travel is distributed in Raleigh, hence 1 suppose it is all right But I bave not time to enter into details. Ex cept our Treasurer, who is Worth his weight in gold, 1 can say but little in fa vor of tbe personnel of those who occupy the heads ot departments. The Legislature is an unique body, the House muchly so.ljwas struck with the sterling honesty -gh moral charac ter ana patriotism fue memoers, dui a rack ot expetlo- jaAly retards- loi successful action, lucre are by far, too few experienced members, men trained, as it were, to legislation. Tbey are hon est, sincere and indefatigable in their ef forts to enact laws, but are crippled by the want of legislative experience. I am glad to say; that Mecklenburg is as well and ably represented in both branches, as any county in the State. Her members stand deservedly high. While truly in favor of retrenchment, tbey are for true and not for specious reform. Ool Brown is cool and deliberate and properly con servative, and possesses great weight,! while Capt Ardrey is one of the most popular, useful and influential members on the floor, possessed of tact, experience and geniality, he is ever on the watch and I am satisfied, what be could not obtain for bis constituency; could not be accom plished by any one. As an evidence of bis standing,, be is obairman ot an impor tant committee, tbaUof agriculture, and a leading, active member of various other committees. I have-been in the House several times recently and have been pleased at the attention with which he is listened to, wben be occupies tne noor. While be is not aa orator, not given to Ions speeches, what be does say, is fall of good sense, and to the point, hence he is always beard with pleasure. He is a hrst rate representative, and I feel confident in saying mat tne interests oi me oiie and of bis rich and enlightened con stituency are safe-in bis bands. He is loing his whole duty nobly and well, and when be returns and the proper time -r , . i . i i : 1 1 comes, l nave no ooudi. uis peopie wm say to him, "Thou good and faithful ser vant, step np higher." jjick.
