The war in Cu(a is ncaring the
end, bat the scenes in that country
aro horrible beyond description. It
is too fearful to publish. God will
deal justly and right will prevail.
Thk Nkw is informed that four
mon were drowned Saturday night
while tryinc; to cross Dan River ;
also, that two brothers were burned
alive near the Stokes lino on tho
sumo night in an old barn. Now
comes the saddest part of the htory
all Bix men were either drunk or
greatly under the influeuce of liquor
et the time they lost their lives.
The boiler at tho steam saw mill
of Mr. Henry Ilagwood, near
Wakefield, Wake county, exploded
Friday with terrible results. Mr.
Hagwood, hie son Ivan, and Rnfus
Tucker, a white employe, were in
stantly killed. Three colored men
employed at the mill were severely
injured. The boiler was blown a
distance of fifty yards.

Tho Mississippi Legislature has
passed a bill, which has become a
law, imposing a fine of not less than
$10 or more thau $50 and impris
onment for not less than 30 days
npon conviction of carrying con
cealed weapons of any kind, and
has forbidden the judgo before
whom the case is tried exercising
any discretion in pronouncing sen
tence, excepting as to tho amount
ot the fine.
Tho north was swept by a storm
almost approaching a hurricane, on
Thursday night. The principal
sufferer was the village of Bound
Brook, N. S. Houses were torn
from their foundations and swept
toward the ocean, and fire added
to the horrors of the situation. The
lews is fully $150,000. One man
lost his life in trying to rescue some
others.
The drunken spree of Dr. Ilurst
and a party of friends at Penning
ton, Va., has claimed three victims
already, and the list may be addod
to later. The doctor, while drunk.
injected morphine into hiraeelf and
his companions, causing death very
shortly of one of the party named
Myers, of Mr. Tracy, another mem
ber, ten hours later, and since then
of Dr. Ilurst himself, while one or
two other victims of the drunkan
freak are so ill that recovery is
doubtful. The drunken crowd seiz
ed and held Mrs. Myers, wife of
the first of the victims, while Dr.
Ilurst gave her morphine. She
was then thrown into convulsions
and is not expected to live. All
the men connected with the affair
are well known in Southwestern
Virginia.
THE BOND ISSUE.
We admire the views of the At
lanta Journal on the subject of the
bond issue.
When the present bond issue was
proposed that element among news
papers and politicians which has
only one principal, namely, to op
pose whatever the administration
undertakes, raised a chorus of pre
dictions that the effort would be a
miserable failure. What was the
real result ? Offers were made for
Dearly seven times the amount of
the proposed issue and at rates that
ran from 109 to 119.
Thif shows how President Cleve
land and Secretary Carlisle have
damaged the credit of the country.
This proves how strong the faith
of the country in the administration
stands, while the demagogues bark
and snap and squirm because it is
an administration that is far above
Jhair policy as it is above their
principles.
The credit of the government has
received splendid indorsement,
though that credit has benn assailed
by a aet of politicians who have
openly proslaimed that if they had
the pewor they would pay all th
onUtanding obligations of the gov
ernment in fifty cent dollars and
that all future loans should be lie
gotiatod on free silver basis. Had
this element been, in control at
Washington no prudent man wonld
have made a bid for any part of the
Umd issue which is now so largely
sought.
The bids for tbee londs prove
that thiscoontry and the world holds
. i . . I the strength of Remington's itate
tht the United States J mm tU, be iBle,ldej r,in l(llck
a conviction
is both great and honest, and that

Thirteen Workmen Drowned.
A dispatch of lout Thnrday from
Uartlbrd, Oojin., says : Six work
mon lost thoir lives and nine others
were barely rescued from the icy
waters of the Pecuobos river, near
Bristol, early to day. A new bridge
Imd been built over the river ct Try
ing the trackg of the New England
railroad and tho men were at work
taking up the ties and rails from
the old bridge which was in process
of demolition.
The fifteen men had gathered
about the middle ot the bridge on
their work when suddonly the
structure began to shake end with
scarcely a moment's notice gave
wav.
Tho men wero all precipitated
into the ico water bolow in the
midst of tho broken mass ot tim
bers. Two or three managed to reach
land in safety, practically unhurt,
and immediately set to work to help
their cinrades.
At midnight it is believed that at
least thirteen of tho workineu ier
Hilled. Two bodies have been re
covered includinir that of the fore
man of the gang, J no. trillion.
Most of the men lived in Hartford.

Your correfpondont recently,
from this place, shaking of the two
new arrivals at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. D. M. Hod its, calls to
mind that I might add there have
only been 14 sets of twins within
a radius of 4 or 5 miles of Meadow
Creek. How does this speak for
this part of old Grayson f
Mr. Floyd Osborn's flock oi
sheep have increased by some 20
odd lamlis already this season, and
his son Etnmit has an addition to
his of about 25. The dogs are very
destructive to the sheep hdnstry
here, and our representative in the
legislature, which is in session now
at Richmond, wtuld introduce a
bill and secure ii.s passage for the
extermination of worthless curs, he
would prove a public oenetactor,
besides he would have buildeJ for
himself a monument more lasting
than marble. 11.

Our people are talking of build'
ing an acaaemy nere. l Here are
two sites under consideration. One,
a nice eminent west of the railway,
buck of Mr. E. S. Recce's store,
The other, a ttiJ 1 more beautiful
location, a little west of town, yet
close enough to be convenient to
the town and a great deal more on
venient to the people out in the
country. Mr. W. B. Hc-lvfield, Sr.
steps forward and offers to donate
the land tor the academy, and ball
ground if need be, and further
offers to give land on which to
erect boarding houses and rooms,
it w will build the academy on the
mttor site mentioned. There is a
well of good, pure water near ILIe
situation. Why can we not build a
good school here ? We can, b
using the projer efforts. I thin!
we would do well to investigate
this oiler.

Rockford, N. C, Feb. 10, 1816.
Some of the citizens of Raleigh
will remember a man by the name
ot Pyur Remington, who lived in
Raleigh some yeara ago. lie after
wards rented land from Dr. G. X
Kirby, of Goldsboro, and alwndou
ed it Dr. Kirby took charge, loe
ing considerably by Remington's
leaving. At New Hanover court
last week the jcry gave a verdict
tor $1,000 agtirist Dr. Kirbv, on
to the land, and Dr. Kirbv ' taking
charge had brotip'it him !. From
all accounts Dr. Kirby was the man
realiy damaged, and in Gold1oro
where all parties and the transac
tion are well known, there is much
indignation at the verdict. Et. j
Towing a Mile-Long Raft.
A raft of 000 yellow pine logs
for use as piling in the construction
of some of tho new Delaware River
piers has just arrived here from the
coast of North Carolina, and the
I transportation of this huge, un-
wioldy mass ot timber through
waters exposed to storms was no
small feat. This is said to be tho
first raft evor brought from North
Carolina to Philadelphia, and tho
logs are tho largest sticks of timber
ever seen in this market. Some of
tho piles aro 05 feet long, and tho
average length tor tho whole lot is
82 feet. Tho sticks measure from
12 to 22 inches in diameter at the
butt and 8 inches and upward at
the small end.
It required four tugboats to tow
this raft from the siarting point to
this port. It was very tedious work
towing a large raft through the
rivers and canals in North Carolina,
and required six weeks' time to get
it to this city. Tho raft waa put
up in chains, each pile having two
iron ratting dogs to hold it in tho
ehains. Fifteen piles were placed
side by side and fastened together,
making one section ot wliteii there
were forty two in the raft. When
theso forty-two sections ot timber
wete fastened together they reached
nearly a mile iu length.
On the way up th Chesapeake
Bay a storm came up and the logs
and raft had to put into harbor
until tho storm was over. Towing
tho raft over the North Carolina
sound was risk? work. Theso
sounds aro very broad, "' allow
I todies of water, und when any wind
blows it kicks up a choppy eta
which would tear a raft to pieces
in a short time, lhe dangers in
towing raits aro such that it is im
possible to have a ratt insured in
any reliable insurance company at
the present time.
This big raft was brought hero
by Char'is Eraser, who has had
considerable experience in handling
piling, lie was present when the
first tree was cut for this ratt and
remained on the ground r.ntil the
whole lot was rafted. Then he
camo up with it on the tugs, and
it proved a very pleasant trip.
Several dealers in timber and
piling were doubtful about the suc
cess of the attempt to handle such
a mass of lojjs, espec'ally at a time
ot the year when high winds and
storm ire of frequent occurrence,
but the safe arrival of the great raft
has demonstrated the complete
practicability ot the scheme. Phil
