The Convention will not adjourn until Sunday. iaaai We Hope to Keep Mr. drove. The Salisbury correspondent of the 7th to the Charlotte Ob server says : "It is reliably learned today that the successor of Mr. Irving Proctor, the present freight agent here, will be Mr. A iiu- ford, of Henderson. When the change will take place is an in definite matter. Mr. Proctor re signed the position effective May 1st, but consented to hold on a while longer. Concord people, who have feared the loss of their efficient agent, Mr. J A Groves, to Salisbury, will be gratified by this announcement." This is gratifying indeed ex cept from the unselfish view that Mr. Groves is justly entitled to any promotion in his line. The rear oi bis leaving seem a to nave had its foundation outside of any part he had in it or of any move ment of which he was aware. The clockwork smoothness by which the depot affairs are run under his management makes us anxious that he be allowed here all the essentials of promotion, and an adequate salary. He's a Good One. Ralph Bingham was greeted with a splendid audience on Wednesday night and he ex pressed bis great satisfaction with the number present and the appreciation ot his efforts. He says he always tells his audience he same, tie is a rare Humorist and if there's anything in 'Laugh and Grow Fat" there should be an unusual degree of avoidropoise in town to be toted today. His rendering bad little ot tne serious and less of the instruc- ive but was overflowing from first to last with mirth, varying from the gentle chuckle to the side splitting laughter. His per refinances on the violin were ex ellent. Miss Mary Louis Harris issisted with piano accompani ment. The evening was tilled tvith genuine light hearted en joyment. Note on the Exposition.'

I The wreck about which re ports were very meagre on the 7th seem about as follows : A southbound freight under Conductor Joe Johns and Engi neer C Thornton should have kept the siding at Lawyer's, twelve miles south of Lynch burg Wednesday morning till No. 37, southbound, had passed. From some mistake it came out on the main line and was run into by 37 at 5:2 o'clock in the morning. The engineer and fire man jumped for their lives and escaped with little injury. A few others of the crew were a little hurt but no passengers were Injured. Two postal cars, the club car and two sleepers were wrecke.1 and burned, though the mail and baggage were saved. The property loss is very con siderable, being due largely to the fire. RITER DISASTER IN OHIO. Seren Young People Drowned Tlieir Boat Struck R; a Tug. Seven young people, members of a Sunday School class of the First Baptist church in Toledo, O., were drowned on the night of the 7th in the Maumee river.

The tests that have been given for the last two days on the new or second artosian well did not give satisfaction and it was or dered that the boring go on till better results are obtained. It was found that only about 40 gallons per minute could be ob tained. The one great source of satisfaction is that the pumping from the second well did not ef feet the water in the first. This indicates that the supplies come from different strata and there fore it is encouring to bore deeper in this well. Mr. NIchoN Dead.

Central Committee Keports and Matters nre Pinrussed An Industrial Feature Added to the Sew South Club the Ap proved Plan. A number of citizens met with the New South Club on Thuis day night according to adjourn mont of former meeting to re ceive the report of tho commit tee relative to the lormauon oi an Industrial committee. The president of tho Club asked J D Harrier to preside unu ivir. ouo, K Patterson was elected as Sec relarv of the meeting. Mr. M H Caldwell presented a verbal report of the committee, This committee did not thinii it feasible to organize a chamber of commerce or industrial club, independent of all others, but favored accepting a proposition which a committee from the New South Club assured them would be available, if accepted, as soon as the Club can change its con stitution and by laws to conform therewith. Tho intimated proposition Is about as follows: The New Soui h Club will place 'its rooms at the service of those wishing to participate in the movement thereby saving room rent, iuei, lights, water and janitor fees, on condition that they pay into the Club funds the same as members of the Club, viz: $5.00 initiation fee and $1.50 per month as con tingent foes, the Club agreeing to set apart all the contingent fees, above its present income for 05 members to be appropri ated to the uses contemplated in tho industrial feature, retaining the initiation foes to meet a ust share of the incidental expenses. Tho matter was freely dis cussed by Messrs M H Caldwell, J P Allison. H S Pur.year, F L Emery, J D Lentz, J V Hurley M B Stickley, J C Wadsworth and others, resulting in the elec tion of the following committee to solicit subscribers to the movement, viz: Mesrs. W C Correll, M B Stickley, Jno. P Allison, H L Parks, J C Wadsworth and Jon. A Clino. It is understood that parfes uniting in the movement will en joy all the privileges and bene fits of the New South . Club though their entire interest may be contored in the industrial feature.

S 0 Ballentine, a Lutheran preacher of high intelligence, throws additional light on the remarkable -case of Major Perry, the "Sleeping Preacher" of Saluda county, Mr. Ballentine says that nine years ago, when 6tuding for the ministry in the Evangelical Luth- eran Theological Seminary, of Philadelphia, he went home on a vacation, and hearing . about this man's preaching decided to hear him if possible. With a J companion he went to Perry's j homo one evening, getting there just as the man had gone to bed The young theologian had sup plied himself with a reporter's pad and pencils. Perry's wife got him a table and lamp and he sat within a few inches of the sleeping negro. Then Mr. Ballentine tells exactly the same story as already printed in The Sun and certiliid to by Dr. Crosson, Perry "lined out" and sang a hymn; then prayed fervently; announced his text "with the deliberation and mental poise of one old in the business, and preached a sermon of ordinary length. " The preacher was interrupted three times by what seemed to be convulsions. Animation was suspended; the pulse ceased to beat. Each time the wife rubbed him and the rigor relaxed, and he resumed his discourse Mr. Ballentine says he was j deeply impressed. He reported his observation to a Lutheran paper, but the editor said he must have been imposed upon. Dr. L A Fox, professor of mental and moral science of Roanoke College, when Mr. Ballentine had graduated came to his rescue, and while attempt ing no explanation of Perry's physical condition, contended that be was reproducing ser mons heard when he was a boy, and cited instances given in works on mental philosophy, wherean ignorantservant, while in a delirium, had recited in Creek and Nebrew bibical verses she had heard her master repeat although she knew absoluetly nothing of either language. That was nine years ago. Dr. Croson says he has been this man s family physician for eight yearsand thathe preaches every night, excepting, sometimes, Fridays. Now Mr. Ballentine says the matter has been settled to his mind by hearing that Perry belonged when a boy to a Fairfield county Baptist preach er, and that it was his duty to drive his master to and from church; and that the boy always went into church and heard the sermons. Mr. Ballentine is satisfied these sermons Perry is now preaching were heard by him forty years and more ago, and are new being reproduced. Columbia, . C, Dispatch. MATRICIDE AND SUICIDE. Malcolm Ford KIIIh Paul Ford and Tnen Himself in Sew York. A New York dispatch of the 8th tells the appalling tragedy in which Malcolm Webster Ford writer and athlete, killed his brother Paul Leicester Ford the novelist, and then himself. Ford was at his desk in his room. His lady typewriter was in an other corner oflthe room also when the brother Malcolm Ford came in and sac down and en- gagod iu a conversation that was not heard by the lady. Suddenly she heard the report of a pistol and ran out of the room. Malcolm called ner and as she entered he placed the pis tol to bis breast and fired, kill ing himself instantly. It is surmised that Malcolm was in financial straits and was turned down, hence the impul sive terrible deed. Paul Ford lived about 20 minutes. Old Soliller'i Experience.
