This esteemed public servant died at
his residence in llnlcifli no Wednesday
afternoon at five o'clock and forty niiu
utes. Tt is with profound regret that we
mike this anouncemcnt. "An honest
nian, the noblest work of God," has
pasocd away, His death is the State's
loss.
Donald W. Ruin was born in Raleigh
on April 2d, 18-11, and he was in his
51st year. In 1857 he It ft school and
was employed as u clerk in the office of
the Comptroller of the Slate, where he
remained until 1865, when he was ap
pointed chief clerk in the office of the
State treasurer. Jonathan Worth was
provisional treasurer at this time under
Governor II olden. From this date to
Jauuary 1st, 1885, he held the position
of chief clerk. In November, 1884 he
was elected State treasurer and took office
in January following. He was the only
person who has been elected treasurer
lor a third term since the war. lie knew
the office of State treasurer thoroughly
and he administered the financial affairs
of the State to the entire satisfaction of
the people and with great honor and
credit to himself. Aud while in other
States this great trust has been betrayed
there is no citizen of this or any other
State who'well knew Donald W. Bain
who would not have trusted him person
ally with all the money vvlik-b has passed
through his hands without bemd and se
curity well knowing the treasure of the
State would have been just as secure as
if he had given bond in teu times the
amount which he did give.
Sir. Bain has been a prominent Mason
all his life. He has held most every po
sitioa within the gift of the craft in this
State, and in 1807, he succeeded his
father as Grand Secretary of the GraDd
Lodge and litis occupied this responsible
position ever since. He has been a fa
miliar figure in the Grand Lodge every
year since 18(!7.
lie was a prominent Odd Fellow.
From 18S5 to 1887 he was Grand
Commander of the Knights Templar. In
loli") ho was married to Miss Adelaide
V. Hill, daughter of the late Dr. W. G
Hill, of Raleigh.
For many years he was a devoted mem
ber of the Methodist Episcopal church
South, and for years he has been secre
tary of the North Carolina Annual Con
foresee. He was one ui' the pillars of
his church in the State. Mr. Bain was
oue of the purest men the State has ever
produced. Hisservices to the State have
been invaluable. During his long career
as a public man he has discharged every
public duty with singular fidelity and
first class ability. Ho was always cour
teous in his bearing and firm in decision
and no man left his presence after trans
acting business who was not most favor
ably impressed with him as the State'i
chief financial officer.
It is a matter of much regret that the
long and latal illness ot Mr. liarj was
due to overwork, which brought on gen
eral nervous prostratiou, which developed
organic disease of the heart, from which
he died.
Nr. mm s whole me was one ot ex
ample for the young men of the State,
In every avenue of life his character was
that of a Christian gentleman. Thetis
ing generation aro pointed to his life as
euibr-u ing and emphasizing all the quali
ties which go to make up honorable oil
zenship. For purity in private and pub
lie life, for fnithtulneas us a public officer,
who proved that he always regarded "pub
lic ollico as a public trust," and as a true
and devoted, but unostentatious Christian
he stands out in North Carolina as a bea
con light to her sotn and daughters.
Peace to his ashes. The world is
much better that Donald W. Bain hag
lived, and his death will he aa sincerely
mourned as any man who has preceded
him "to that bourne from whence no man
returns."

THE SKAWOKAI) AIR - LINK.
IT TAKES ANOTHER PROORESStVK KTKl'
AND WILL PUT ON THE FASTEST OF
ALL FAST TRAINS.
The completion of what is known aa
the Belt Line in Atlanta giving the Sea-
oard system an entrance into that city
at the Union depot, will soon witness the
inauguration of another forward move
ment by which the plans and purposes of
the company will be fully put into opera
tion. The details aro fully set forth in
the following article from the Atlanta
Journal. It says:
On the 20th of November a momen
tous event will occur. The fastest rail
way line that has ever sent a flying loco-
ruolive into the city of Atlanta will en
ter the union depot. It is the Seaboard
Air liine which will beat all previous
records for safety, celerity and dispatch
This line established itself from the start
as a fast line, putting on freight sched
ules from the very first, enabling the
handling of freight from New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore in C8 hours,
and from Boston in 88 hours.
This prompt dispatch is something
unheard of in Atlanta's previous history,
and it soon revolutionized the matter of
time on freight and the older lines found
it necessary to give more attention to de
lays, and it justly claims that thegenoral
care of business has resulted in great
benefit to meet the changed state of af
fairs.
The first schedule on this splendid
line was put on April 26, 1802, and
through Pullman car service was estab
lished between Atlanta and Norfolk, Va.,
about May 1st, 1892.
Through car line to Charleston, South
Carolina, making the entire run in day
light was established shortly after, and
the contract was let for building the- Belt
Line between North Decatur and How
ell's station, on the W. & A. R. R., July
10th.
This connection will be made at a cost
of about $240,000, which will enable
the through trains to enter the union de
pot on November 20th.
The through passenger trains with
Pullman equipment, and the r-hort line
between Atlanta and Old Point Comfort,
Va., and the through connection with
the world renowned Bay Line up thn
Chesapeake from Norfolk to Baltimore,
opened up a new and comfortable route
to the east, the Palace Steamers of the
Bay Line being unsurpassed in bay or
sound service.
No new line of road evet entered the
oity of Atlanta, or the field at large, as a
competitor for passenger travel under
brighter prospects, its opening to it at
once such a vaiiety of North and South
routes, all railway lines and all rail and
water lines, both by the way of Balti
more, and by direct steamer to New
York.
The magnificent steamships of the Old
DoEiinion Steamship Company afford
a through steamer connection between
Norfolk and New Yark of only twenty
four hours.
The sail to New York and the entry
to that harbor being in full view of the
many resorts around and adjacent to
the city of New York, the Brooklyn
bridge, the statue of Liberty and other
things of interest to every traveler.
This new line, in all its splendid equip
ment, is going to be a gteat favorite with
the traveling public.
Tho company has spared no pains or
oipeuso to make it comfortable and
agsoeable in every particular.
The elegant coaches and the swift
speeded engines will be one of the most
attractive features, and splendid trains,
el oso connections, no delays And general
get there Eli, are surpassingly inviting to
both the traveling and commercial pub
lic. Gout in most eases first makes itself
known by an acute pain in the joint of
the great toe. This moat excruciating
pain may be likened to that produced by
the diiving of a wedge und.-r the nail.

FROZEN TO HIS SEAT.
LOCOMOTIVE FIREMAN WHO WAS
LITERALLY SCARED ALMOST TO
DEATH.
7iilitiii(ipoli'H News,
'It is nut often that an engineer stays
on his seat in the face of a collision if he
has a chance to jump," said an old rail
road man last night. "When ho doesn't
jump its because he hasn't time. I re
member once when a fireman was uieto
phorically frozon to his seat. I w;.s on
the engine at the time. See these gray
hairs?" and be pushed back his hat. "I
got them all in about two minutes. It
happened on the Indianapolis division of
the Pennsylvania lines. 1 was in charge
of the fast mail train No. 7, and Charley
Mason, as good an engineer as ever took
hold of a throttle, was hauling us. No.
7 is a fast train anyhow, but that night
we were late out of Columbus, and I tell
you we were splitting the wind. Having
nothing else to do I climbed over to the
eugino, and asked Charley to let me
run her awhile, and he pushed over to
give me room. Everything went as love
ly as a May dance until we started down
the hill. Suddenly a red light showed
up ahead of us on the track. The aw-
fulness of that minute lean never de
scribe. "We are gone, Charley,' I yell
ed to the engineer behind mo. There's a
flat car ahead of us. See that red light.'
"Charley saw it and started to get
down. I yelled at him not to do it, that
we might escape death, but if we jumped
from that engine, running at least eighty
miles an hour, we would be killed sure. I
shut oil the steam, and, throwing on the
air, began 'plugging' her. The wheels
reversed, but she rode over the sand as if
there was none on the track. Charley
clung to me with wide staring eyes; and I
honestly believe ho was praying. Nearer
nearer we rushed to that fatal light
and dashed past it. Soon we were stopp
ed, and I called the fireman to go back
with me and asccttain what it was. He
could not move, and when I pulled him
from his seat he was us stiff as a poker,
and it was several seconds before he could
utter a souud. The poor fellow was par
alyzed with fear, and it was a long time
before he recovered. What was the red
liuht doing there? A fool agent had
come up the track to flag a train , follow
ing us and left his red light near the
rails. When I met him I never felt so
much like murdering a man in my life?"
UNCLE MOSE'S PRAYER.
Cleveland Lender.
Great consternation, followed by wild
laughter, was an innovation of the ohapel
exercises at tho peniteniiary this morning.
It was occasioned by a 'possum prayer
from old Mose Allen, a South Carolina
negro with one leg, who was dreaming
of Thanksgiving Day in tho near future.
Chaplain Dudley opened the prayer meet
ing as usual and prisoners followed briefly
When all heads were bowed in reverence
old Mose jumped at the opportunity and
delivered the following prayer:
"Dear beloved brudderin and sister'n
I tank de Lord for permittin' me to kum
ter church dis yer beautiful Sabbot morn.
Ye all dunno know that beautiful Thanks
giving Day is near at han.' On dat day
some folks will eat turkey, some cat
chicken, some cat duck, some eat lamb,
and some eat shetp. But us niggers.

For Christ's sake, amen."
Chaplain Dudley stood aghast at the
conclusion of the prayer. A moment
afterward the chapel re echoed the wild
and wicked shouts of the prisoners For
nearly five minutes consternation reigned
it thr ,-n-l P which time prayets were
reauuiul, with no further expressions
from the colored brethren.
THE VOLUCERE.
AN ELECTORAL MAIL CAR TO HE OPER
ATED BETWEEN CITIES.
St. Low Post Disptttch.
It is reported that the Volucero will
transport about one hundred pounds of
mail between two cities with hitherto un-
attained velocity. It consists of a shell
composed of aluminum, the interior, ex
cept the chamber for the mail and fur the
electric motor, being filled with compris
ed hydiogen gas to overcome the weight.
It has a bouy fan toward the front, oper
ated on both sides, and side wings and
propeller in the rear. Two large trolley
wires supported on arms attached to posts
and elevated to a suitable height, are
placed from four to six feet apart, and be
tweea and below the car the or shell is
situated, suspended on the wires by pul
leys. The electricity from the wires commu
nicates through the motor inside of the
car, and sets into rapid motion the front
fans, tho wings on either side and thetiu
bine wind fan in the rear. The win
are shaped like an umbrella divided i,
tho centre. These close when propell.
forward' and automatically open, pren
ing forcibly against the air in tho bad;
ward aud dowowardstrokc, and operate
by a crank and piston to which the wing-
are attached.
Tho front is surmounted by an electric
ht. When coming into port the ma
chine engages in a current breaker and
subsequently draws up a suitable weight
until it is brought to the point for un
loading. It is then reloaded, turned
on a turntable, the connection made
and it is sent on its mission. It
may havo many stations.

Charhlte News.
Tho news comes from Albany that
Rev. Thomas Dixon may think he has
settled for his violation of the law in
shooting robins and ether song birds on
the recent shooting excursion, but he has
not. Special Game Protector John W.
Lish has reported that the Rev. Thomas
Dixon killed 25 rsbins, 3 thrush. 1 crow
bird, and 1 yellow wren, and that he was
fined S155 therefor. The game and fish
commission met recently, and, after con
sidering the case of the sporting parson,
directed the chief game protector to pros
ecute him for full penalties besides the
fines which were inflicted under section
82 of article 4 ot the game laws, making
his act a misdemeanor, fie will now be
prosecuted under the remaining part of
section bz, which makes linn liable for

A QUICK and AliSOLLTE C'L'KE for the
TOBACCO HABIT!
Next to the whiskey traffic, it is the
most expensive and loathsome habit of the
American people. The annual cost rims
up into millions. The average tobacco
user pays to jjratify this unnatural appetite
from five to ten times mote than he gives
to support the Church. Shame on us.
This Cure has not yet failed where the
party was in earnest about quitting and
followed directions. Thousands havehaen
