The Danville Street Car Suit.
Dad YILLK, Va., January 10. The
jury in the damage suit of Trow
bridge's administrators against the
Danville Street Car Company ren
dered a verdict this morning in favor
of the company. The case was one of
considerable interest here, as Mr.
Trowbridge, the man who was killed
was a prominent and popular citizen.
The Hogue Case.
The verdict of the jury in theHogue
case which was rendered too late for
our Saturday evening's issue, was in
. our judgment a just one. While we
are, and have been all the time since
the facts in the case have been dis
cussed in the community, clearly of
the opinion that Mr. Hogue acted
rashly in the matter, we never have
been able to discover anything in the
circumstances to justify the conclu
sion that there was any essential ele
ment of crime in what he did.

TheCliristian Endeavor Society,
The meeting of the Christian En
deavor Society held in the Taber
nacle was a very successful affair. A
largt- attendance was present, and
the pastor presided, Dr. Carter open
ed with prayer, and under the charge
ot N. B. Broughton several choice
hymns were 6ung. The address of the
occasion was made by Mr. J. A. Baer,
of Boston, Mass., general Secretary
of the Uni ed Societies. It was an
exceedingly able talk, interesting
and suggestive, showing the begin
ning of the order, its rapid growth,
its great usefulness to the individual
church and its helpfulness to the
several deuoiniuatihn which have in
their churches the Christ ian Endeavor
Society. At the close of the address
several practical questions were asked
by persons present. The different
churches of the city were well re
presented, and it is hoped that a
flourishing young people society of
Christian Endeavor will soon be in
existence in each church, and such a
pleasant gathering as yesterday often
repeated.
