Pbllllps,t Rowan, Serlonslr Hurt. Monday's Salisbury correspondent of the Charlotte Observer saysatthat the three teams of Mr. P. M. Phillips, of Gold Knob, were hauling cord wood from the country to the pump house. His young son was driving the rear team when it ran away, frighten ing the othtr two teams which also ran. The wagon ran over young Phillips, breaking the right collar bone in two places ani bruising him all over. In the geOral tear-up, the horaas became en tangled in the harness oHnch other, one team' running entirely afer another. Young Philips was caught in the lines and being unable to release himself, was a fearful sufferer. Just how badly he is injured and whether fatally, does not now appear, though it is thought he is not so dangerously wounded. He is known well here, being the son of a well-to do farmer and business man of Gold Knob. The. accident took place bout 1 o'clock. Young Mr. Phillip is nephew of Mrs. Andrew J. Winecoff, of Concord. A SERIOUS alVriCI7LTir. Charles HoereaM mm Will nartlnp of No. StGatlsuo a Row -Tlsrllu Slav Bis as" Result. On last Fridajk morning row oc curred between Charles Honeycutt and Will Martin, at the residence of Nathaniel Fulham, in No. 3 township, in which Martin received injuries at the hands of Honeycutt that may prove fatal. The difficulty occurred Friday morn ing about 10 o'clock It seems that there had been some trouble the night Lbefore Between Martin and his wife at wife took her two children and went to Mr. Fulham 's.When Martin found out she had gone he got his gun and atarted to hunt her. Ht passed by the house of John Forney, colored, who persuaded him to give up his gun. Martin then went on to Fulham's and Forney followed him. When he got to Fulham's he asked his wife what she meant by leaving home. She said something to him, and he said they would settle the matter right then. Martin started to take his wife away, when Fulham put him out of his house and shut the door. Then Honeycutt' wife, who is a sister of Mrs. Martin, came up and begato abuse Martin for mistreating her sister. Martin told her it was none of her business, when Mrs. Honeycutt began to curse him. Martin then said he didn't want to have any trouble. Meantime Honeycutt came up, and told Martin that he didn't allow any d d man to abuse his wife. After a few words Honeycutt and Mar tin clinched. It is said that Martin had Honeycutt by the cellar with his left hand and a bottle of whiskey in his right. Honeycutt claims that Martin reached for a pietol. Honeycutt jerked him self away from Martin, picked up a sand bolster of a one-horse wagon, which is about four feet long, and hit Martin on the head with it. The blow was a powerful one, and Martin was of course knocked senseless. Martin's nose was broken, one eye knocked out and his skull fractured. Martin was left until nearly night before medical attention was secured. He was at tended by Dr. D. J. Gouger, and by Drs. Lafferty and Maxwell, of David son. Martin baa never regained con sciousness and is in a serious condition. These are the facts as they can best be obtained from conflicting reports. Honeycutt is now in jail here awaiting a preliminary hearing. The Mooresville correspondent of the Charlotte Observer gives the following account of the affair : News was received here this afternoon of a very distressing family row over in Cabarrus county, along the line of that county and Mecklenburg. One William C, Martin had been drunk for several days, and last night beat his wife unmerci fully. The wife is the mother of twin babies just five weeks old, Martin' nephew, Charles Rogers, who works on the place, held Martin while the wife escaped with the children to a neigh' bor's, Nathaniel Fulham, where they were cared for during the night. This morning between 11 and 12 o'clock Mar tin followed his wife and renewed the quarrel, and again began to beat her. rCharley Honeycutt, who lives nearFul ham's, and who married Mrs. Martin's sister, went to the scene, accompanied by his wife. All four of the husbands and wives became engaged in the melee, when Honeycutt struck Martin on the head with a part of a wagon bolster, fracturing the skull, breaking the nose and knocking one eye entirely out. Martin lies unconscious and is not ex pected to live many hours. All parties to the affair live in the Popetown set tlement. Mrs. Martin and the infant children have fared badly at the hands of the man, it is said, and the public is in sympathy with her. .... Yost Family Reunion.

Kimmons, of No. 3, tells us a snake story that is just a little ahead of anything we have ever heard of. He says that some time ago Mr. R. W. Fleming found black snake which had swallowed a porcelain door knob that had a six-inch shank to8- The snake wasjVad when found, the dose it swallowed of course being re sponsible for its death. It is well that both Mr. Kimmons and Mr. Fleming have an unsullied reputation for truth fulness and sobriety. D. J. Boat & Co. make a specialty of country produce.
