[Anderson Mail.] An analysis of the return < ' the Blue 1 Ridge Railway Company to the Comp troller General's office for tho current year reveals some faots that will interest Anderson people. The Blue Ridge rail way, proper, extends from Anderson to Walhalla, the branch from Anderson to Bolton being leased from the. Southern Railway. The whole trackage. howAv?r, is inoluded in the return. There aro 43.04 miles of main 'rack, returned at $3,000 per mile, and 4.00 miles of side track, returned at $3,000 per mile, tho total trackage being 48.03, returned at $140,700, assessed at $153,700. The five locomotives are returned at $10,500, whioh ?B at the rate of $2,100 each; seven passenger ooaohoH are re turned at $6,400, or a little over $000 oaoh, and the returns wero allowed to Btand by the assessors. The seven depots, returned at $4,300, aro assessed at $5,500; wood and water station, returned at $200, is raised to $2,100, and eight other .buildings, re turned at $1,800, aro assessed for taxation at $2,050. The total valuation of build ings listed on the return is $5,810, but they aro assessed at $10,250. The total amount of the road's property is listed at $164,000, but the board of assessors raised it to $100,500. Tho return is supposed to havo been mado on a basis of 100 bundrod por cont; tho assessment ou a basis of 00 per cent of tho actual value. As will be sceu from this abstract, tho assessors mado some drastic ohangOB in some features and allowed others to stand unaltered. Neither tho return uor tho assessment upon it is correct, but tho two taken in conjunction give a very fair idea of tho sizo and value of the road. Verdict of $2,500 for Killing of Smalley. [Greenville Cor. Andorson Mail.] Greenville, April 1.-Aftor remaining out an hour and a half, tho jury in tho caso of J. D. Smalley vs. tho Soutborn Railway Company brought in a verdict yesterday awarding $2,500 in damages to tho plaintiff for tho death of his son, Bonnio Smalley, who was alleged in the company's answer to have boon a deaf mute. Tho complaint demanded $25,000. Tho attorneys wore R. T. J ayn OS and McCullough aud McSwain for tho plain tiff and Cotbran, Dean A Cotbran for tho Southern Railway. Tho trial was begun on Thursday morning and continued until 5.80 o'olock yesterday afternoon, when Judge Gary concluded bis cbargo to tho jury. Tho defendant's testimony was concluded yostorday morning and tho arguments boforo the jury followed. Speochos were made by T. P, Cotbran, R. T. Jaynos, A. II. Dean and Jos. A. McCullough. Tho most interesting point about tho caso, perhaps, was tho allegation in tho answer that tho boy who was killed was a deaf mute. This was contradicted by tho plaintiff, and sovoral wituessos in testifying for tho plaintiff said that he was not entirely deaf, but could hoar such sounds ns a gun shot, a locomotivo whistle and tho like, under ordinary con ditions. His loft ear especially, they Baid, was not hopelessly impaired. That tho plaintiff did not admit tho boy was totally deaf accounted for tho fact that bis attorneys woro careful to provo, or ratbor to int rodeo testimony tonding to provo, that tho locomotivo v. hist le was not sounded on approaching tho crossing at which Smalloy lost his Ufo. Tho plaintiff rested its ease mainly upon tho condition of tho headlight, howover, which it alloged was not burn ing or was in such bad condition as to bo of no uso. All of tboso things woro do niod by witnesses for the company, who testified that the statutory signals on ap proaching tho crossing woro given and that the headlight was in good condition md burning. Bonnio Smalley was killed in August, uni I. Ho was about 15 years of ago. Ho was on his way homo from tho cotton mill at Westminster and was in tho act )f crossing tho traok, it is said, whon (truck by the locomotive. As soon as tho verdict was announced, mtico of a motion for a now trial was innounoed by tho defendant's attorneys. This will bo hoard at another dato. -Wbito Pino Cough Syrupl.with Tar.
