The steamer City of Trenton suffered a fearful accident on the afternoon of tne 28th just above Philadelphia. One of her boil ers exploded, killing 11 people and injuring a score of others, some suffering from scalds. The boat took fire and ran. aground. The water was shallow and those unable to help themselves were rescued before the flames reached them. It is feared that there will be more victims found. The boiler had stood the test of inspection and the steam was not up to limit of steam pressure it is said. There is no accounting for the dreadful accident. HUKXIMi AWAITS HI. Jiegro Assaults mid Murders a White I.uily in Missouri. Miss Mary Henderson was as saulted aud killod near Columbus Mo., on the 28th by William Francis a negro farm hand. The family of her brother in law with whom she lived was away for s short time in the evening when the foul deed was done. When the family returned they found her still ablo to toll who the criminal is, but sho died soon aftr. The only horse loft had also been shot jirobably to hinder pursuit. The country is being scoured and if he is caught there will be no doubt of the consequences. He will go the way of such trans gressors. Tne Wravo of Macon. Nothing contained in The Post today will give more genuine ploasure to more people than the announcement made in a letter for our correspondent at Warrenton, that the plot of ground containing the grave of Nathaniol Macon, the greatest of North Carolina's early states men, has been reclaimed from the ownorship of a negro and has passod into the possession of the county of Warren. Thus a situation, which every true son of North Carolina has regarded as a blot upon the fair name of the State, has happily passed away, and the resting placo of her honored dead has become the possession of the county in whoso soil his dust re poses, whoso pride and whose pleasure it will be to preserve and cherish it as a priceless heri tage to the romotost generation. f ho way is now clear for the prosecution of the movement be gun so recently by Gen. J SCarr and seconded by The Morniug Post, to improve the ground and and erect a monument on the spot now marked only by a rude heap of stones. The laudable act of the citizens of Warrontou and W arren county should prove an incentive to every patriotic North Carolinian to have a share in the enterprise, and should be spoedily followed by the accum ulation of a fund sufficient to beautify the grounds and erect an imposing monument worthy of the honored dead and a credit to the commonwealth. It remains to be said that Prof. Davis has done a public service by calling attention to the neglected condition of Ma con's grave and the fact of its negro ownership. No doubt it will rejobe his heart to see his observations on the subject bearing fruit so early. Morning Post Hi t. Mr. StefTey Accepts s Call. Rev.

By far the most interesting trial of the week was the one in which Mr. John Cruse, when a city policeman, shot Mr. Joe Sossamon in tne leg. It will be remembered that Mr. Frank Maxwell and Mr. Joe Sos samon were charged with fight ing near the Inn-Bythe-Way-Side. Officers Cruse and Biles attempted to arrest them when Sossamon resisted.

When Sossamon attempted vio lence Officer Cruse fired the shot. Bis Honor Judge Hoke defined the rights and the duties of a po lice officer and also the limits of the same.

Engineer Killed and 28 Injured- Engine Turned Around Elrnira, N. Y., Aug. 29. Tho accommodation train leaving So dus Point over the Northern Central Railroad and which ar rives in this village at 6 o'clock, was derailed tonight at the sta tion at Fairville, about ten miles north of here. Engineer Wm. Meagher, of Sodus Point, was killed, 28 persons were injured, two of whom, Howard Tubbs, ticket agent at Lake Shore, and Libbie Ford, of Newark, will probably die. The train was made up at Sodus Point and con sisted of four coaches, a baggage i car and engine, with Wm. Mea gher &t the throttle, The train was running at nearly 40 miles an hour. Ap proaching the station at Fair ville, there is a curve and gravel pit. For some unknown reason the engine jumped tho track while passing the gravel pit. The force of the accident turned the engine completely around, throwing the five cars on their sides. The train load of some 150 passengers was thrown into the ditch and the engine and all tho cars were badly broken up. Help was quickly summoned from the neighboring houses and all the assistance possible was rendered. Word was sent to Sodus and Newark for physicians and a special containing five doctors left Newark at 6:45 o'clock. Upon its arrival the Newark passengers were placed aboard and hastened to Newark Five were sent to Rochester hos pitals. The cause of the wreck is not known exactly, but it is thought the rails spread. There have been heavy rains recently, and probably in this way Hie track was loosened.

This morning the fire bell rang at 11:80 o'clock and it was soon learned that Mr. B M Bostian's residence at Cannonville, on Depot street, was on tiro in the garret between the ceiling and roof. It originated in a closet that is next to the chimney. The closet was filled with quilts, and blankets. The supposition is that a spark escaped- from the chim ney into the closet. In order to apply water the roof was torn up and damaged, md in moving the furniture much of it was broken. During the excitement $20 was stolen which had been placed in in a box and hid in tho bed in the frout room. The flames wore soon subdued. The house belongs to the Wal ter Parish estate and the loss to all concerned will amount to about $125,' with no insurance. Daily of Friday. Think Well of BiiiKhain.

A Washington special of the 29th to the Morning Post says: "Woman is in the majority in North Carolina according to fig ures given out today by the cen sus office. There are 955,133 of "her" while of tie men there 938,676 or 50.4 per cent female and 49.6 males. There are 1,263,603 whites and 630,207 negroes inthe State, in which are included 5,687 In dians. Of the whites of native and foreign birth the male ag gregate 632,155 and tVie females 031,448, and of the negroes the males number 806,522 and the females 323,615; 45 foreign born white females, 125 white males of foreign parents, and 135 white females of foreign parents. "Of the population of the State the whites constitute 66.7 per cent and the negroes 33.3." These figures seem somewhat discouraging to the marriage able females but statistics, we believe, show that they have t way of outliving us and this con d it ion seems necessary as i counterbalance. Beside this, woman is not allowed to pup the question but forthwith rises su pcrior to the situation and beats men getting whom sue wants. Its not so uneven after all. Referee Com Finished. The Salisbury Sun says the hearing before Hon.

Gibson Drug Store, ' A Mosquito Story. The champion heavy weight mosquito story of the season comes from Onslow county. It is told by a gontleman of this city who is just back from a trip over there. He says that recent ly a mule in that section of the county was bitten by a rattle snake and the animal taken to the swamp apparently dead. The ubiquitous mosquito soon discovered the body, the word was passed around among the mosquito family and they col lected thare in teeming millions. They drew all the blood from the animal which was so impreg nated with the poison of the snake that one by one the wing ed pests dropped dead from the body and when a large portion of the blood had been extracted, the mnle got up and returned to his owner's farm house. Where the body lay to make the story complete an inch of dead mos quitoes was found on the ground It is a mosquito story, with the accent upon the story. Morning Star. Governor Aycock has been making a strenuous effort to prevent lynchings in this State, and has given notice that the State law against lynchings will be strictly enforced. The affair at Charlotte was tided over with out breaking the , law, , But in the lynching at McFarlan the rapist was lynched before he had been secured by an officer of the law. In the face of this ter rible crime there is no likelihood that any effort will be made to punish the lynchers. In a case of undoubted guilt, when the man has committed such an atrocious crime, the universal opinion is that the lynching is justifiable, ana public opinion would condemn any prosecution of the lynchers. Lynchings are not frequent in North Carolina, but they are almost sure to oc cur in the case of such crimes, and they usually occur before the officers get possession of the rapist. Raleigh Times.

There is great interest in Ashe ville over the disappearance of Elbert Butncr, a sober and in dustrious farmer, age 24 years. When Butner was a boy, the late James 'Lunsford promised that, if he and his mother would stay on the farm, when he died Mr. Lunsford would will the property to young Butner, subject to life estate for Mr. Lunsford's widow. When he (Lunsford) died without a will Mr. Butner began suit against the estate, either for the proporty or $1,900, due hitn for services rendered Mr. Lunsford. He had gone to Asheville on the day of the disappearance to cod sulthis attorneys about this case.
