He was seriusly injured by the fall, and, although he has had the best treatment from local physicians and specialists, he has been unable to walk since the accident. We understand that the rail roads have made propositions to settle the case, but the amounts offered in j settlement were considered inadequate by Mr. Merck, and he has brought suit against the Atlanta and West Point railroad and the Southern lailwav for j $5u,000 damages, the roads being sued | jointly and separately. He is repre sented by Col. W. C. Wr'ght, of this city, and Col. Reuben R. Arnold, of Atlanta. Card of Thanks.
