Wilmington, May 4.—George
Lyons, white, was so badly in
jured ttiat he is not expected to
live through the night, and Jim
Carr, colored, was probably fatal
ly injured, this morning at 7 ;30
o’clock, when a carbonator at
the soda fountain of Crescent
Cigar Store exploded.
The 150 pound steel carbona
tor was hurled to the ceiling of
the store and, rebounding, struck
the men who were preparing the
fountain for the day’s work, on
the head, rendering both uncon
scious. Lyons has not regained
cosciousness, and no hope is
held for his recovery,

If Hobson runs for president
on the prohibition ticket, wonder
if *he will consent to let W. J. B.
run for vice-president with him?
Talbotton, Ga., May 4.—Robt.
Beverly, a young man living in
Woodland, Gu., was arrested at
that place Saturday afternoon,
charged with trying to compel
Miss Mary Burt, a young lady of
that place, to attend a ball game
wish him. It was charged that
young Beverly asked her to at
tend the ball game at Manches
ter, and that she told him she
could not go, when he drew a
pistol, using an oath, and told
her she would go.
At the depot where he had
bought a ticket for himself.
Miss Bun and his two sister.s,
he was placed under arrest by
the marshal of Woodland. He
was tried at Woodland Monday
morning and bound over to the
aupeiior court under a $250
bond.
Beverly claims that he was
only joking with the girl, and
that she finally agi'eed tx> go with
him willingly.
It’s a safe bet that from now
on politicians will do very little
letter writing.
