AGRICULTURAL IIALL. Mr. Lyles Files u Bill Claiming Heavy Damages. Special to The State. (Charleston, Sept. 10.?Tin agricultural hall, now used as th main dispensary, is still sharinj honors with the dispensary law i figuring in the federal courts When the great moral institutioi is not absorbing the attention o O the court officials, the agriculturu hall is ami so it goes that th' court officials and attaches hav always their surfeit of this sor of litigation. In tire circuit court today W I Lvles, representing the owner o the building, Edward 11 Wesley, tiled a lengthy and much com pi i cated hill in equity setting fortl his grievances. The hill recount the history of the agricultural hal litigation from its very inccptioi with which the public is familiar and ends up hy setting forth th damages which have been done t< the building hy its present occu pants and also a claim for ren for the use of the hall. It ssatc that the building partitions havi been destroyed and others erected the roofs leak and no efforts havi been made to stop the destructive work of the rain on the interio of the bnilding; in brief, the luil is going to wreck and ruin as i result of the neglect and want <? attention on the part of the oc cupants. The plaintiff also claim; $:100 rent a month from May 7th 18t>4, for the use of the hall.

(1 Wait Whitman lay sleeping. I His faee denoted intense weariness; his firmly compressed lips a grim determination that hoded ill to those who had squelched his senatorial aspirations l?v declaring j him ineligible. Occasionally a * heavy sob shook his stalwart , frame, and from this one would infer that his heart was bruised n and his sensitive nature cut to the s quick. Hidden grief was gnawing at his vitals and pathetic little !? moans stole tearfully through his e tightly clenched teeth and march(j ed sadly away into the "vast inr tinitude of nescience." Oh, it was II pitiful, pitiful ! But, behold, a change. The dismal countenance of G Walt was (Q suddenly transfigured. Before it 'S J r> (| had liecn rugose and rueful ; now Ij it was beuutiful with an express ls ion of tender joy. What did it mean { G Walt was dreaming and before him was decked out in all the extrrvaganza of slumftcrous fancy, stood the star eyed goddess of reform. She winked the other eye and the optical contraction was returng . ed as quick as a flash, (i Walt was up to date; he luul been there before. Their eyes met again ; he smiled a bewitching smile and the lips of the goddess drew timc idly npart and two rows of pearl ^ I were revealed to the ardent gaze n of th3 amorous statesman from IJonesville. 44And are you the star-eyed f ; 7 goddess of reform f" he hegan, ' half fearfully. 4I have heen called that by my I admirers." she replied, with a ^ laugh full of infectious merriment (t Walt took a seat beside her. * ! 'Well, I'll call you that too,' he , said, tenderly, 'for you have no ' more devoted admirer than 1.' _ 'Dear me, how delightful you talk,' she smiled: 'I firmlv believe 8 . I | you have heen maligned/ 'No doubt about that,' returned . the .Jonesville statesman decidedly; 'but never mind that now.? e i Your lovely face has steeped my soul into a delicious languor like i i i :<i - * j uiiiu liiineiiu wiiKTS. i care not s for the past; let ns tidk of the (> present.' What shall we talk about J' she (i asked coquettishly. BJ 'How can you ask {' he replied, reproachfully. -You must see I that I love you with a passion that | the ice l>ergs of Klondike cannot f cool. Won't you lie my star V 1 don't think I can comet.' she b replied with a giggle. ? 'Don't say, that, dear,' he entreated, and his right arm began q to crook at the elbow. , | 'Stay, stay,' she cried, as he ) began to do the great circmnnavl igating act. t 'My darling, I never stop for - stays," he murmured, passionate5 lv, 'Whalebone is a side issue in 9 an argument liae this.' ? 4 Hut you must not embrace me,' 1 she persisted in well feigned earn. ' estness; -please release me.' * ! 'Kphraiin is wedded to his idols, ' let him alone,' replied (v Walt,his clerical tendencies coining to the 1 ! surface. 'I'ut 1 must insist on you taking ' your arm away,* she cried simu1 luting tearfulness. 'Don't worry yourself about that arm, dear goddess; its emphasizing the fact that it has had a good political training.' in v\ nut w!iv : MiT, i piorieu. By tickling both sides for popularity.' At this the lovely goddess threw aside the protesting air of affect*j ing modesty, and entered into the spirit of the affair. She liked it ; ' . ? nothing strange about that, y know. 'How did you como to bo h hind time in eutering the rn -e f the senate V she asked. 'Well, I'm very up to dato,y know. And I wanted to be t latest thing out.' 'And the result was you wc | the latest tiling in,' she observ I smilingly. I 'Well, there is a ditrorenoo f j opinion on that point. I was it to the extent of fifteen vo at any rate.' 'Why do they reject you sco. nfully ?' Can't appreciate me. Bra are at a discount in South Ca Una politics.' 'How about Tillman V Why, he's a sixteen -to-t statesman : that is, sixteen sounding brass to one of tinkli cymbal. His remedy for all mi ; tal deficiencies is tincture of bl thoroughly dissolved in a cone trated solution of hot stutF.' 'I don't believe you like Ti man.' 'Oh, yes I do ; Tillman ii< bright lad, though I'm awfu afraid he will fall down and hi himself.' 'Well, how about Irby C | 'l*oor fellow, his conditior truly lamentable. He is sulFeri from political debility, lost pi clarity and premature retireinc Besides this, he is a monoman on the subject of paternity, you want to win his favor call h father.

'Yes, most people take me 1 a joke, but I've never ticen al to see the point. It's not ve ..i i ? i ? *i - - Imuniui(, 1'iiiirr, hi nr me stall ing joke of the State.' 4lt seems to me it would more appropriate to cull you t running joke of the State,' * observed innocently, lint Wi failed to see that yoint also.

But 1 must hear you chart terize Kvnns,1 she returned, w fully. 'He is such a dapjier lit fellow 1 can't help feeling int< \ ested in his future.' I '1 m not sjieculnting in futui j just now,1 returned (1 Walt, d i ly; I've lost too much on i own.1 'Now, Walt,' said the star cy goddess, sweetly, 'you cam evade.
