Correspondence of The Observer. Rlchmon, Va.. April 15. A special from Franklin, Va., says that Thomas F. Barrett, a young white man of Murfreesboro, N. C, was seriously and probably fatally injured while beating a ride on a train at that place to day. The young man, who was lntoxl cated, fell between the wheels of the moving train, receiving Injuries both internally and externally. Several of his teeth were knocked out. Barrett had been living in Franklin for the past several weeks, working as a car penter. Jie was waiting for a passen ger train for Boykins when the accl dent occurred. An unknown man who was with him jumped from the train before It had gained the headway that shook the other off. Young Lady Victim of Unusual Rowdyiton. Special to The Observer. Spencer, April 18. Miss Ada Shiver. of Cabarrus county, who is visiting her sister, Mrs. R. A. Sapp in this place, wa -the vlotlm on Saturday night of a cowardly attack by unknown parties who threw a bottle into ner room striking her In the neck Indicting slight Injuries and knocking a lamp from her hand. The deed was committee at late, hour and followed, by the arrest of Edward Kenedy and E. Weber, of Bal timore, who were stopping at the boarding house of the Sapp family. The arrest was made on the charge of disorderly conduct, the two men hav ing climbed upon a porch roof and threw a bucket of cold water through a window upon William Herrlon, also of Baltimore, who was asleep In bed. The parties who made the attack up on Miss Shiver escaped. All of the parties recently came to Spencer from Baltimore and are strangers here. Small boys wouldn't mind having ears If there were no mothers to wash them. It seems an awful waste of money to most people to spend It on sensi ble things. Cotton.

Noticing your expression in regard to the head "Week's News Forecast ed.' I desire to say that I think the writer of this head would experience some difficulty in producing author ity, that would pass muster, for the word "forecasted." He differs from all authorities I have at hand. Wor cester gives "forecast" aa the form. and assuming that the compound word, "forecast" must necessarily fol the same rule as the simple' word "cast." authority In plenty can be cited. "Chamber's Etymological Dic tionary." Stormmouth's "Handy Eng lish Word Book" and the Bible, that "well of English undented," all are on the side of "cast," both as preterite and past participle. Would your head writer say "forecasted?" But, let Worcester alone be considered not sufficient, and for fear of some cause of argument that would draw a sub tle distinction between the word 'cast" starting 'alone and prefixed with "fore," Latham, the English grammarian, lays down a general rule that verba whose . present tense ends in a syllable with a short vowel and terminates with the sound of "t" are not distinguished in form In the pre ent and past participle. He Instances cast" as such a word and of course the classification necessarily Includes "forecast" : I doubt if there can be produced an better authority far the word "forecasted" than has the little chap who announces that he has "eated all his candy a tendency to use the common Inflections In the case of verbs which are exceptions to the general rule, or, as some grammarians class them "irregular."
