wharf Tuesday night was Albert Williams,
aged about 24 years. It appears that his
wife was off on a trip up the rtver and was
expected back on the night in question in

forces us tothe conclusion that the provo-

been of a much more serious character
than would appear from the article in the

tell us the story of a .distressing-homicide
which was committed on Friday or Satur
day last, in Haywood county. The homi
cide was committed by Mr.' Strange, a son
of CoH. Robert Strange, of Wilmington,- and
the victim was a hack: driver. JlTews con
cerning the affair is very meagre, but what
we have learned is about as follows: A
party who had gone from Wilmington to
the mountains to spend a .portion of the
summer, on the day in question engaged a
hack or some other vehicle, for the purpose
of going on -.a -fishing excursion, and the
man who had promised to furnish it did not
arrive with it at ttie , time agreed upon.-
Wheu hedid finally arrive, a quarrel took.
place between him and young Strange,, but
the crowd got in and went ahead until at
some point on the road one of the wheels
broke down, when the difficulty, j was re
newed, the hack Owner being the driver.
Hoi words passed and these culminated In
Ur. Bridgere'ja son of Hon. R. R. Bridgers,
handing his pistol to Strange, who fired
upon the driver, killing him instantly. J.
"Both Strange and Bridgers were arrested
and confined in jail at Waynesboro,: the
county seat of Haywood. The former, we
understand, had a telegram sent jto his
father, and it reached him . here . yesterday
afternoon, while ho was passing through
from the West, on the Carolina Central
train going the Wilmington. He stopped

morning via the Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio

iu aan-calling attentio tothe; subject-
matterj of ? a' paragraph vwritten and pub
lished by him on the ISth insL, but which
for the "present occasion he will extract
from the Journal of Monday, as follows:
"We see that Jamestown, weed has at
tained a rank growth in 8ome"yards and
vacant lots, and is in full bloom. Now is
the time to destroy i. before the seeds ma
ture. - And as for the Ailanthus shrubs, any
time i? a good' thiie" j
We desire to call the attentton or parents
and lot-owners to the fact that every part
of ' the : Jamesfbwn w eed (Datura Stroma
nium) when taken internally acts as a nar-cotico-irritant
poison.' and the odor will in
fect the atmosphere where the weed grows
profusely to; such an extent as to. have an
appreciable effect upon the general Tiealth
of the neighborhood. The same remark
will appFy in a" lessened degree 3 to the Ail-
anihus poison. We"are orjbe impression
that there is a general city ordinance pro
viding for their destruction, but lot-owners
ought not to wait for its enforcement before
clearing them out. ,- We particularly recol
lect a lot on Red Cross near Front street
as overgrown. - '
With these additional remarks we com
mend our waif to the enterprise of the
Portsmouth paper," and hope that ere it
returns to us it will have done much good
to the health of the cities . through which it
may pass. :;'.;7.' - .
