We are requested to call the attention of the management of 'the street railwayj to the fact that as a colored funeral procession was on its way yesterday tol Pine I Forest Cemetry, and whiie crossing the street car track, a' car coming up was driven through th6 procession, cutting it asunder, and nearly crushing a'person who was in the procession. J We presAmc it,is only nedes sary to mention this fact to assure such measures by the mauagement as will pre vent a recurrence in the future, especially as we know that stiict Orders are given that i i . . - i kx such iiistances the car must ahvavsj wait until the procession has passed. 1 Sudden Death. j j Philip Guion,1 a colored man about 25 or 30 years of c, died tb's morning in the county jaU 'at 7 o'clorW, of disease of the heart.

A jury was empaunelled and' an inquest held this morning by Coroner Hewlett. There was a postmortem examination alao made by.Dr. Wright, and a verdict rendered in accordance with the above rhentionedfects.. Trouble Ahead. ' A Mr. Reed, a lawyer from Plhiladel phia, was m Smithville a few days since, wlien he recorded a deed from a party in Philadelphia to him for 45,000 "acres Vol land I . The original deed on which the title based is dated, in 798, and Mr. Reed is the third owner. It covers a large portion of the lands now occupied by Hon.' Dan'l. L.. Russell, Mf. George Swain and nearly a hundred otherparties. Mr, Reed has also, we understand, deeds for 30,000 acres in Columbus county, and 40,000 in Craven county, on all of which --. . j , -i f i suit is to be entered at once.
