Wood, division passenger agent of the Southern railway, and Col. S. H. Cohen, manager of the Greater Western North Carolina asso ciation, who have been in Florida for the past SO days in the interest of this section, have returned to Jacksonville yesterday for further work along special lines. Mr. Wood and Col. Cohen have been co-operating in the work of interest ing winter tourists at the various Florida resorts in western North Caro lina and inducing them to stop over in Asheville and vicinity for a stay en route to their homes in the north and east, and they report a very successful season, despite the fact that the weather has been extremely bad. The season in Florida was badly crippled owing to the coldest weather experi enced in years but Mr. Wood, Col. Cohen, and eight special representa tives of the Southern were able to se cure a great amount of business for western North Carolina. Thev sttae that nearly hie hotels, the resorts Sheriff C. F. Williams received a message yesterday from Charles Krall of Antlgo, Wis., who says that he is the guardian of Miss Victoria Hushek, who was tried before Magis trate W. A. James. Jr., last Saturday night on charges of vagrancy, prefer red by her half brother, J. E. Kocha, president of the Carolina Veneer com pany of Biltmore. The girl was found guilty of the charges against her and was remanded to the care of .Mr. Kocha to be sent to her home in Wisconsin. Mr. Krall stated in the message re ceived bv Sheriff Williams that he had wired a ttcket to the Southern railway station here for the gill's transportation to Antigo and asked the sheriff to see that she is sent back at once. Sheriff Williams then got in communication with Mr. Kocha who stated that he would comply with this request. The case has attracted considerable attention here and many people have interested themselves in the outcome of the trial which was held last Sat urday night. According to statements made at the hearing, the girl had been living with Mr. Kocha at his home in Biltmore and was attending the Asheville High school, when she is said to have become dissatisfied with her home and left and went to a boarding house, where her brother, Charles Hashek. had rooms, asking him to take her in. Then it Is said that Mr. Kocha appeared with the chief of police and a warrant charg ing the girl with vagrancy and she was taken before Magistrate James for a hearing.

Barnwell against Bee Tree Lumber company, which was the first case called after Superior court convened Monday morning', did .. - ..i not eo to the jury until 1:30 o'clock ail UL nir . , -v, of extreme wealth, are closed now, but that the smaller hotels and leading boarding houses are still entertaining good crowds. Those who own their own cottages In Florida are likewise still there and it is believed that this sec tion will entertain several hundred of these people before the end of the season. whtit. the weather conditions in Florida were bad. it Is stated that re porta also became current that Ashe-, ville and western North Carolina were ! facing a severe winter and spring! wagon and this has kept many visitors , away w ho might otherwise have stop- ! ,ie( over here. Other reports that are said to have kept numbers away f rom the section were to the effect that the hotel accommodations here were i scarce. These reports arose, it Is j thought, from tnose wnu came - eme accommodations at Grove Park inn and found the inn crowded. Despite all these adverse conditions, Imuevcr. both Mr. Wood and Col. Co hen declare that western North Caro lina received the biggest share of the Florida business of any other point. Kvery other railway line interested was working against the movement In this direction but the excellent and thorough work of the Southern's rep resentatives resulted in big crowds coming this way. They have assur ances, too, that still other big crowds will arrive here between now and April K, when the season in Florida practically closet) vesterilav. when Judge V. 1-. Harding finished his charge to the jury. The case has been one of the hardest fought civil cases tried here In a long time and every point was contested throughout the trial by the attorneys. Barnwell Is suing for :1000 damages for personal injuries, alleged to havi been received while in the employ ol the defendantl-ompany on January 10 191:). He claims to have iust two fingers on his left hand by the Inju rles. Thomas A. Jones addressed the jury yesterday afternoon in behalf of the plaintiff and Judge J. G. Adams spoke this morning for the defendant company. The closing argument to the jury was made by R. B. Wil liams for the plaintiff. A contest judgement was reached this morning in the cases of Will Black, by his next friend, against the Western Union Telegraph company for $400. A compromise wu effected in the case of Maries Bluemenkamp against the City of Asheville, where she was awarded judgment for $130. Dr Worthlnston waa the physician j of the upper ten thousand not ft phy sician of the upper tea thousand, but the physician of that clasa. Be wax thirty -five years old and considered the handsomest man of the city In which he lived and practiced his profession. One Bight & lamp exploded in the home of a voting widow, setting fire to the clothes of an old lady, a mem ber of the family, and burning her so severely thnt she nved but twenty-four hours after the accident. Every doc tor in (he neighborhood was called in, among them Dr. Worthlngton. There was little that could be done for the patient, who was known to every doctor there, but there was a great deal to be done in calming those pres ent. As soon as the physician of the upper ten thousand entered practition ers earning a beggarly $5,000 to $10.- 000 a year instinctively withdrew into their shells, and when ho spoke in his musical baritone voice a few words enjoining quiet a calm fell upon every one in the room. Mrs. Allandale, the young widow in whose house the accident occurred, was so impressed with Dr. Worthing ton's aristocratic bearing, his self con trol and that influence he possessed over his fellow beings, especially women. that she resolved to win him for her second husband. Mrs. Allandale had heard a story about the doctor's having to employ a chaperon at his office and realized that her game must be played with great delicacy in order to be suc cessful.
