DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. Mr. Samik'l Garner, a Well Knuwa Farmer. Meets wilt a Peculiar and Fatal Accident vkile Looking at tie Fresaet ia Roanoke River. A GREAT FRESHET. The Roanoke Gets on the Rampage an! Carries Disaster and Destruction In Its Wake. I c,f 1 I OWlt Mr. Samuel Garner, a well known and hard workiog farmer was accidentally hot and killed by Mr. L. F. Laffoon, od the road leading into Mush Island, near Mm. McGee's, last Thursday afternoon about half past two o'clock. It waa one of those sad and peculiar accidents that will happen occasionally. Mr. Garner, Mr J. B. Mcdlin and Mr. Henry Cook, all neighbors, were stand ing within t few feet of each other look ing at the river water which had spread out into the luw lands, when Mr. Garner m l bis death so suddenly and unexpect edly. Coroner Gary was notified and in a few minutes a large crowd of people had assembled at (he place where the acci dent occurred. Mr. Garner lay upon the wet grass cold in death. The coroner at once summoned the following gentlemen as a jury of inquest: Messrs. R. J. Day, W. II. Capell, M. D. Alsbrook, A. S. Allen, Sr., Jesse Medlin and Joseph Mcdlin. The jurors were duly sworn and after viewing the body they assembled at the Temple of Justice, where they held the inquest. The witnesses were examined and tes tified as follows: Mr. J. B. Mcdlin being sworn said, "Mr. Garner, Mr. Cook and myself wore looking at the river I heard the report of a pistol, did not know where it was. Mr. Garner jumped up and exclaimed, oh, oh, and ran right in front of us. I said, 'What is the matter, Mr. Garner? and caught at him. He fell and said, "I am a dead man." He netcr spoke again but lived about fifteen or twenty minutes after he was shot." Question by a juror "Did you see any one at the time the shot was tired?" "No, I saw no one." "Could the person who fired the shot have seen you from the place where he was standing?" "No, they could not have seen us." Mr. Henry Cook was then sworn and his testimony was substantially the same as that given in by Mr. Medlin. T. M. House being the next witness was duly sworn and said, Mr. Laffoon, one or two other gentlcmeu and myscll were going to the river to see if it had gotten over the low laods. We took a pistol with us to shoot rabbits. We saw a rabbit tun across the road and Mr La (Toon fired at it, but did not see any one in front of us, nor had we any idea that any one was near us. We heard a man hollow, oh. Mr. Laffoon ran to wards the spot where the man was and we followed. When wo got to the place wo saw a man lying on the ground, but did not know who he was. We learned from a gentleman standing by that it was Mr. Samuel Garner. The man had been struck by the ball fired by Mr. Lafiboo. Mr. Qarber came up town to look for a doctor. He stayed sometime and I came also and went to Dr. Zolliooffer'a house to get him, but could not find him, to I went back and found that the man was dead." Coroner "Do you know the distance from where Mr. Laffoon fired to where ! Mr. Garner was?" I "I did not step it off." I Juror Day "Would it have been 'possible for you to have seen the man from where you were standing when shot 'was fired?" 3 No, I could not have seen him." I Juror Capell stated that he measured (the distance from where Mr. Laffoon stood to the spot whero Mr. Garner was .standing and found that it was 93 steps VIBDICT. f "We, the jury, find that Samuel Gar dner came to bis death from the effects of a pistol shot wound, said pistol fired by Mr. L.F. Laffoon and that (he same was : entirely accidental and that do blame is j Bttached to said Laffoon and he is honor "ably acquitted." i A person visiting the scene of the ac cident is greatly puuled to know how the ishot fired by Mr. Laffoon, at the rabbit : could possibly have gone 93 yards and lulled a man. It appears almost ineredi Me and but for the fact that there lay ?.L - 1 l . ... . .me evmence oi tuo terrible accident no , tone would have believed it. Mr. Laffoon could not possibly have seen Mr. Gamer from where he stood if ho had known he was below him and had been looking. It Is but just to say that Mr. Laffoon it 'deeply diat rowed at the tad accident lie has proved himself to bo an excellent young man tinoe ho has been here and no one could believe that be would have Jirftl had bo known that a human life "jwas in danger. The poor unfortunate man who lost his life was an entire stranger to Mr. Laffoon. He did not even know Jiii name when he taw him lying dead 1 The death of Mr. Garner was a great hock to hit family and friendt.' II leaves a wife and several ohildren to It' nent hit untimely death, all of whom anve our warmest sympathies in their bereavement. . ; A CHILD ENJOY8.

WF.LD0YS VICTORY. The Tar Heels Defeat The F. F. Fmforia Hands Down. Vs of Children Cry for Pitcher's Cattorla. FORTY ONE and eight tenths is the high water mark reached by the Roanoke Sunday morning. The freshet is one of the most disastrous since 18S9, and while it lacked a few inches of reaching the mark left by that freehet, it -did considerable more damage than the 89 freshet. All of the splendid State farms below here are in ruins, and the State will lose about $100,000. The water first overflowed the Brad shaw farm, washing away nearly 1000 acres of corn, 3000 bushels of oata and injuring about fifteen or twenty acres of cotton. Saturday night the water broke over the dikes at Captain Rhem's and flooded about 800 acres of corn. The largest of the State farms the Caledonia was considered safe and the dams were all right up to eleven o'cock Monday morning. The river was then falling quite rapidly. But this farm, too, waa doomed. The dams gave away Monday and with a rush and a roar, as if maddened on account of the barriers, the water rushed into the great fields of corn and destroyed thousands of bushels. It is impossible to estimate the damage. There were 2000 acres of the finest corn ever before seen in this county. For seven miles the waving tassels stretched out and as they nodded in the gentle breezes gave promise of a great yield. The field was magnificent, it was like a picture and did ooe good to look upon Today it is stricken and lies prone upon the ground, disfigured, and in utter ruin. Aside from the loss the State sustains let us turn to the disaster in general. From Clarksville, Va., to where the Roanoke empties her waters into the Albemarle sound, there is destruction, and wide spread disaster. Hundreds of individual farmers lose their entire corn crops. They have worked faithfully and by the sweat of their brows they had earned bread. They looked upon the beautiful fields of waving grain and saw that the works of their hands had been rewarded by the well filled ears and that there would be bread for the little ones and to spare. Alas, for human hopes The rains dis&nded, the flood came and the fruits of their labors had vanished. The recent freshet now passes into history as one of the most destructive ever known. AT BOANOKC BAl'IUS. The river also did considerable damage at Roanoke Rapids. Major Kmry informs us that he lost about 800 acres of corn. The water also carried away the bridge recently erected by the Roanoke Rapids Power Company. The structure was 277 feet long and cost a considerable sum. It was above any ordinary freshet. The recent rise however reached a point seldom reached by freshets. Only a few times in the past fifty years has the Roanoke been over forty feet above low water gauge. In 1877, the greatest freshet that was ever known, the river reached 47 feet. In 1889 it was 18 inches higher than it was last Sunday morning. We have not learned the loss sustained by farmers in the way of stock, but suppose the loss in cattle and hogs will amount to a considerable sum. The river spread out for miles' and miles below town and hundreds of people visited the river to look upon its turbu lent waters. It made a pretty picture as it eame sweeping down the Roanoke valley and as far as the eye could see its great waters stretched out in the bcauti ful Mush Island farms and appeared to mock the helpless farmers as it went dancing on toward the sea. It has been falling rapidly since Monday and is now nearly withh bounds again. Later-Captain Mclver, superintendent of the Caledonia State farm, was seen Tuesday by a Nsws reporter. Captaio Mclver confirmed the statement that hi lost z.uuu acres ot corn ana says ne also lost 1,000 tores of cotton. The water, when it struck bis corn, went over it completely, not a tassel could be sum It was t most awful calamity. HOW'S THIS.

'"PHK Iiick,furd Belfield Emporia aggregation of ball players were out classed by Harrison's nine, on the diamond here Tuesday and at the conclu sion of results they simply found that they weren't in it. Cochran was in the box for the locals and after the third inning he was invinci ble. The visitors could not touch him, while Starke, Slagle, and Mitchel, the three pitchers who essayed to toss for the Emporius, were pie for the home boys, who found their curves just to their liking. A large crowd of enthusiastic cranks witnessed the severe drubbing the Virginia boys received at the hands of the tar heels. The Old Dominions looked mighty formidable in their spick and span uniforms while the Weldon rosin chewcrs attire reminded us of Joseph's coat of old. Raleigh Daniel gave Cochran excellent support behind the bat while the boys in the field backed the battery up in great shape. Tbegamo was exciting up to the beginuing of the fourth, when the score chalked up on the black board showed 4 and 4. After that it was easy sailing and the boys from the good old mother state began to feel away down in their hearts a yearning for home. The following little summary will do for the girls to paste in their scrap books, in order that future generations may know that they came, they saw, but that they did not conquer, and the last beard of them they were going around singing, "Do you know the muffin man?"

Evangelist Edmundson's special services at the Bap tist church continue this week and the interest increases each day, with large congregations at every service, mornings and evenings. Last Saturday morning he preached a special sermon to the children aud young people. The church waa well crowded and his talk was calculated to do an immense amount of good. He warned the boys particularly against the pernicious cigarette habit and all other evils which the youth of the ltnd ate so prono to affect these days. Sunday afternoon he preached to women only, hit topio being "The New Woman." At men wero not admitted we cannot know jart what he did say to tho ladies but learn Iron) little remark dropped hero and there by the fait six that he gave somo wholesome advice and while he had no objection to ladies riding bieyolca, be did object to bloomers. Sunday night he preached to a crowd ed church. 11 it text was taken from Amos, 14th chapter and 12ih vc "Prepare to Moot thy God." He preached t most excellent sermon tnd when toe invitation was given quite t number ot penitents presented them selves tt the altar. Mr. bdinundson is a plain, nractioa preacher. He does not altenipl to olullio his sermons in flowery array, but present! the plain, gospel truths and appears lo have the entire Scriptures at his tongue's end, from Gooesis to Revelations. During this week the merchants all kindly agreed to close their places of business one hour each morning in order to allow their em ployees to attend the morning services. Mr. Kdmundson ia greatly aided in his lervicea by I splendid choir and the music rendered at each service possesses charml sufficient to entice minors to turn tway from the broad road tnd enl.r the straight and narrow way leading to a higher and t nobler hie The meetings will continue throughout the week. Another Good Man Gone. Mr. Benjamin II. Suiter, a most highly es teemed citizen of Garysburg, died at his home at that place last Saturday evening, after a brief illness; aged 57 years. The deceased was a brother of SI r. J L. Suiter, who preceded him to the grave by jut oue week, and his death coining so soon alter that of his brother fails with peculiar sorrow upon the hearts of an already afflicted family. For the past few years Mr. Suiter had been the efficient postmaster at Garys burg and he was a most popular official with all who had business transactions with him. He leaves a devoted wife and four loving children bowed in sorrow on account of the great affliction sent upon them. The funeral services took place Sunday from the Garysburg Methodist Episcopal church and were conducted by Rev. J. R. Tillery. The services were very beau tiful and touching and a large congrega tion was present to attest the high esteem in which tho deceased was held in the community. Tho remains Were tenderly laid to rest by loviog friends, and the two brothers, who loved each other devotedly on earth, now sleep side by side. The News extends to the utllicted family its warmest sympathy. "LET ME PASS. PLEASE." 18 what visitors say to tub gate KEEPER OF TlIE CITY. Dr. J. E. Shields returned to Scotland Neck last Friday.
