it is said, is made upon indisputable
authority.
. A man in New York on last Satur
day morning accomplished the ex
ceedingly difficult feat of cutting off
his own head. He was an iceman
and used aheavy ice axe, very sharp,
and weighing six pounds, to do the
work. He laid on his back and rais
ed the axe to the extent of his arm
and let it fall on his neck, which was
cut through to the backbone.
There is a woman now in a hospi
tal at .Philadelphia with a broken
neck and she will probably" live for
years. The case puzzles the doctors.
She has no control over her head
and a frame will be made to hold it,
hen she will go about her work as
usual. She fell from a cherry tree
last Summer. This is a severe warn
ing to women who are addicted to
climbing cherry trees.
It is not altogether lovelvwith the

Whenever Reed cracks his whip

ginning to complain. The New

consultation with the leaders. Mc-
Kinley and others are afraid he wilU
become too prominent a figure for
?92.'
Some of our readers will remem
ber a man by the name of N. Goff,
Jr. He was a brevet-Brig-Gen. in
the Union army and was in com
mand here at one time during the
winter of 1865-G, and our people were
glad when he was relieved from
duty. This same Goff afterwards
located in West "Virginia and went
into politics. He was the Republi
can candidate for Governor the last
election and was apparently elected.
A contest-ensued and the legislature
appointed an investigating com
mittee. This committee sat for
a long time and discover a mass of
corruption. Negroes wjere import
ed by the hundred to" vote for Goff.
The committee reported in favor of
Fleming, the Democratic candidate
and a debate in the legislature en
sued. Goff's counsel admitted that
negroes had been colonized to vote
for Goff. The legislature was to
have voted last Saturday when two
Democrats declared that they had
been offered heavy bribes to vote
for Goff. A vote was postponed and
an investigation ordered. It seems
reasonably sure that Goff will be
directly implicated, and then Mr.
Foraker will have congenial com-
pany in his enforced retirement.
A doctor in Nashville gave the
following pressription for a sick
lady, suffering with neuralgia: "A
new bonnet, a cashmere shawl, a
pair of gaiter boots, -and a bottle of
Salvation Oil.' The lady recovered
immediately, and earnestly recom
mends tne Salvation Oil to every
one. It is sold at all drug stores for
35 cents a bottle.

Twenty-one New Lawyers.
Among the new legal licentiates
of the Supreme Court, who passed
examination 'Saturday last, are
Messrs. Allen Bradley Brown, of
New Hanover, Hanson Finla Mur
phy, of Pender, and Abner Nash, of
Robeson county. There were twenty-one
in all and only three failed to
pass an examination. Mr. Brown
returned to the city on Saturday

The Greensboro- Worcman says:
"President Gray and General Su
perintendent Fry, of the C. F. & Y.
V. R. R., who went tip to Mount
Airy last Tuesday on business in
connection with the extension of the
road across to the "Virginia line,
which was some time ago decided
upon, are expectetTto return to-day.
The completion of this link will
greatly augment the importance of
this valuable line of commerce and
travel.'-
Horrible. 'ewi.
News of a dreadful disaster comes
to us from Washington City. Early
this morning the residence of Hon.
Benj. F. Tracy, Secretary-of the
Navy, at 1634 I street, NV W., was
entirely destroyed by fire. Secre
tary Tracy was himself taken rom
the third floor by the firemen in: an
unconscious condition but his wife
and daughter and two other ladies
lost their lives. The bodies were re
covered by the firemen and were
identified." It is a horrible disaster
and will excite sympathy and pity
f or the bereavejd husband and father
all over this vast country.
Seven Carloads Not Enough.
The seven Qar-loads of rails for the
C. F. & Y. V. R. R, which arrived
here on Saturday are not sufficient
to complete the gap of four and. a
quarter miles now open at the up
per end of the road, near Fayette
vi'.le. From which we can under
stand it will be sufficient to lay only
about a mile and a quarter. More
is expected by rail this week, how
ever, and will probably arrive in a
day or two. In addition to this
there are two cargoes afloat. More
is under way now than is necessary
to fill the Jgap but the - surplus is
needed for various sidings on .the
line and in the yard hpre. . There
seems to bp no reason to doubt that
the road will be'ready for traffic on
15th instant.
lta Excellent Qualities. " j
Commend to public approval the j
California liquid fruit remedy Syrup ;
of Figs. It is pleasing to the eye,
"and to the taste and by gently act-
ing on the kidneys, liver and bow
els, it cleanses the system effectual
ly, thereby, promoting the health
and comfort of all who use it. J
Only a Small Fire.
The alarm of fire yesterday after
noon was caused by tha ignition of
the roof of Mr. Jos. H. Wattera'
bouse, on Orange streetf between
Front and Second. The damage was
trifling, a small hole having been
burned, It probably caught from
a spark. The loss was covered by
insurance. The department turned
out promptly.
The
leading grocers have Port-
ner's Vienna uaoinet ana- uulm
bacher in bottles. Order a case and
be convinced that it is the best in
the market.
