Peculiar and Fatal Accident.
Elisha Hopkins, a route agent be
tween this city and Mt. Airy, died at
his home near Greensboro on Tues
day under very peculiar circum
stances. A few months ago, while
passing a small station, a mail bag
was thrown into the car and- the
lock struck Mr. Hopkins on the leg.
Violent pains resulted and he had
to take his bed. He gradually grew
worse and on Tuesday he died. He
was unmarried but was mainly the
support of a widowed mother and la
sister. - '' ; .
Clarn New May Die. j
Mayor Fowler, having been noti
fied that Clara New, the colored
woman who was sliot at her house
yesterday morning, was sinking rap
idly, add that her condition was
critical, called at her house to-day
and took the deposition of the in-
jured woman. She says that she
does not -know how the pistol was
fired; that she had been playing
with Bloodworth, who pushed her
away, and told her to let him alone;
that she again approached him and
put her hand under his vest, when
the pistol was fired. She says that
there was no quarrel between them
but it can be proven, we understand,
that there had been a quarrel some
little time previous and that Blood
worth had then told her that he
would j "kill her in two minutes"
which,; however, may have been an
unmeaning threat.
The condition of the injured wo
man has changed very materially
since yesterday afternoon, when Dr.
Potter ; probed for the ball. Ve
stated in oflr last issue, by author,
ity, that she was not thought tobe
dangerously injured, but since then
the symptoms have become alarm
ing. 1
Bloodworth has not yet been cap
tured but it is thought that he. will
be. It is said that he has been seen
near Topsail since his flight. j

Blood diseases aro terrible on ac
count of their loathsome nature, and
tho fact that they wreck the conti7
tutioti so completely uuless the
proper antidote is applied. B. B. B.
(Botanic Blood Balm) is composed
of the true antidote for blood ioisoii.
Its use never fails to give satisfac
tion. ,
Mrs. Laura Hurt, Beaufort, r. C,
writes: i "A loathsome form of blood
poison was killing me. My appe
tite was lo&r, mr bones ached, ami
. "t f .' Ilk Ladies Deliclited. j
The pleasant effect, and' the per
fect; safety with which ladies may
use the liquid fruit, laxative, 'Syrup
of Figs, under all conditions make it
their favorite remedy. It is pleas?
ing to the eye and to the taste, gen
tle, yet effectual in acting on tiie

Ilorse Killed by Ufihtnlng;.
We learn from , the Laurinburg
KxdiatxQC that a horse" belonging
Col. Jesse Ilargrave was killed and
one of hia buggy wheels "torn io
pieces by lightning -at Laurel Iljll
depot; last Friday afternoon. The
lightning struck a.tree to which the
horse was hitched, just a few sec
onds after Col. Hargrave and his
little son had left him, they being
near enough to feel t he .shock.

The Dallas Light Infantry, j on
their way home from the encamp
ment, met with a very cordial wel-
Lcome at Charlotte. The A'cirs says
that Mr. M, P. Pegraui,cashierof jtne
First National Bank of Charlotte,
was seated in front of the Central
Hotel as they marched up from the
depot and stepped up to the Captain
of the company and tendered an in
vitation to the entire command to
breakfast with him at the Central,
which was accepted. It is pleasant
to chronicle such acts of .kindness
and appreciation of the services i of
our gallant State troops.

A big excursion train arrived hete

Sprung a Leak.
Yesterday's New York Star says
that the barqnentine Lydia reach
ed the Erie breakwater Monday af
ternoon in a badly, damaged 'condi
tion. ! Her maintop was carried
away, and she-was leaking at
tremendous rate.
"The Lydia, Captain Sprengels,
hails I from r Barbadoesr and was
bound from Wilmington, N. C, to
Grey town, Nicaragua, with a cargo
of lumber. The vessel was evidently
very deeply laden, and has even
now but little freeboard. The mate
of the vessel told a Star reporter
that he Lydia was a very old ship.
On August 5, he said, when in lati
tude 34 4VNorth, and longtitude 74
12' West, the barquentine was struck
by a succession of heavy sqnalls at
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
which caused her to pitch and roll
at a fearful rate. The gale contiri.
ued all night, and the next day the
ship sprung a leak, taking in water
id. the rate of 10 inches an hour. The
pumps were at once manned, and
have been kept going ever since, j
"The crew consisted of nine menj
all told, and were kept constantly at
the pump' chains, watch and watct
about. Finally the crew went aft
in a body, and demanded that the
captain make port. The captain
said he would tell them at 4 o'clock
what he proposed doing, and, as he
had no alternative, he was forced to
pnt into Ncwf York.?
Judco Mearea In Charlotte.
Mr. Wade H. Harrisspays a very
handsome and a well deserved tribj
ute to Judge Meares in yesterday's
issue of the Charlotte News. It will
be seen that the Criminal Court has
done for Mecklenburg what it ha
for New Hanover. The News says!
Several years ago, when the Leg
Lle Mecklenburg Criminal Court
and Governor Scales appointed ion
Oliver P. Meares to hold it, tbis
writer took occasion to congratulate!
the people of Mecklenburg, for in
the new order of things he saw a
vigorous thinning out of the crinii-j
nal docket, prompt and just meting
out of the law, and a rapid deca-j
dence of crime in our midst. The,
record of the Uiiminal Court since,
its few years' reign here has fully
borne : us out. We had reported
Judge Meares' courts in New Han-j
over, and we khew; what sort of a
man he is lefre he made the fact;
knoaruXiu Mecklenburg. His reign
ii iudire has worked wonders inj
twirifvimr this countv of crime. Hc
had held but one! or two courts
when law-breakers realized that his
mill is of the sort that griuds both
fast aud surely, aud they considered
.f i.,v- ncii .ppmf.1 as if it! it wise to either behave themselves
would come off mv bones. A friend; or go to some ottier county to do
brought me a bottle of B. B. B. The 'their mischief. A fine -judge is OIi
sores began healing at once, and j ver P. Meares. lie deals out justice
when I hail taken two bottles I sur-, with an Impartial hand, ami- when
