Russell, of Craven county, and Miss Nannie Mor ns, of Pamlico, came oyer on the isew hern1 train; on matrimony bent, there having been several reasons why they did not care for a ceremony at home. The sought the Register of Deeds at the Court House, procured the neces sary" license, then made inquiry for some one clothed with authority to pronounce the ceremony. Somebody suggested Justice Bornemann, a cour ier was dispatched and the "judge" ap peared apiok and span. The wedding party . withdrew to the office of the Commissioners and there the couple were soon made man and wife in a ceremony witnessed by such Court Hou3o dignitaries as Chairman "Mc Eachern of the Board of Commission ers. Treasurer Green, Dr. W. D. Mc Millan. Superintendent of Health, Ben jamin1 Bell and others. The bride and groom stopped at th& Bonitz ana iert last night, returning home. Some "Tall Swearing" Yesterday.' Tall swearkig" was the way Jus- Uce Bornemann designated the testi mony in an Interesting casa that he tried yesterday, In which Priscilla Holmes had indicted Laura Galloway for disorderly conduct. Both are col- order and there were four witnesses on a side each diametrically opposed to the other in their versions of the affair. The doctrine of "preponder ance of testimony" was presented by Herbert McClammy, Esq, in favor of his client, the defendant, and the Judge didn't know exactly how to figure It out The court, however, took into consideration the character of the wit nesses; questioning each one as to her moral' character, with tne resun that the whole matter was adjudged a malicious prosecuion and the de fendant was discharged. Developing Burgaw Town. On a tract of about 100 acres of land, most'of it lying within the incor porate limits of the town, Mr. R. G. Grady and Air. J. .F.

The resolution-of Williams" of Duplin, for the creation of a-joint committee of five Representatives and three Senators for the investigation of public service corpora Uons was the storm centre for the General Assembly today.lt came up In the House -as the special order at th? close Of the morning hour and created a rather flery discussion - in which very many members took part, practically all of them expressing sym paay for the object of the resolution in wanting detail . information) as to these public service corporations, but the invesUgaUon of them through the work of the proposed commission as defined in the resolution was regarded as Interminable, and it was thought that the Legislature had best proceed with Its railroad rate and other public .service corporation legislation with what informaUon the reports of the Corporation Commission and the rail roads ; themselves would afford. A motion by Gallert, of Rutherford ton, finally prevailed to refer the Wil liams resolution to the Committee on Public Service Corporations, where it is probable it will find a long abid ing place, since the sentiment seems general that such a commission would be too expensive and whatever inves tigation there may bs ishould bo by the Public Service Corporation, committees cf the' two , Houses. Both in the Senate and House to-day there were additional bills for th re duction of passenger rates on rail- roada and regulattng railways. In the. Senate Blair, of Montgomery, presented a Din to aboiisn sectKK! Class rare and reduce the fare to two ets: and mileage books. The latter were required ia the hill to be . issued Interchangeable.

One leg and one -arm were severed and the body was cut and bruised in numerous places. The peculiar appeairaace of wounds on the head and neck led to an investiga tion by the coroner. The jury return ied a verdict to the effect that the der ceased had been killed wih an axe or some ether sharp implement and the body placed on the railroad track to conceal the crime. A late report from Aberdeen says that Bunnell was seen hanging mon ey in Star Thursday and when the dead body was found 'some, $40 which was in a wallet was missing, while $700 was found sewed un in the man's drawers.

James Walker ' Memorial Hospital ;f for the year 1906 was completed and made pubc yesterday, It shows a large amount of work accomplished during the year and gives every evidence of splendid executive management and the alleviation of much suffering. and distress during the twelve .months just ended. : - A careful synopsis of the report shows that during the year 354 pay patients were admitted to the institu tion and 466 "charity patients, a total of 820. Of this number 697 were' dis charged, and 72 died. The diseases treated were: Cardiac 25; eye 4; fractures, crushes, etc., 29; gynecologi cal 54;, malaria 45; gastro intestinal ' 82; nephritic, 18i; nervous 27; pulmo -nary 48 ; tumors, etc., i4; t rheumatism 11; typhoid fever 49; ulcers, etc,1 10; -venerial 52; wpunds 69; private 271 ; x Total 820. .

The expense of this (about $850.00) has been met almost entire ly by gifts from friends ofthe hospital as follows: ; ' ;, -;.. ' '. Ministering Circle of King's Daugh ters (concert), $239.05; Mr.. W.

King's Daughters have given to the hospital avnings ($75) for the win dows and linoleum ( 140.50) for th' floors of the halls "To any one who has visited, the , hospital before and after these two gifts had been made, it is useless to try to describe the im provement made by them in making the hospital more atractive. "The city officials have again shown their interest in the hospital by the-; macadamizing of Red Cross street; 1 also the road, in the rear of the hos- , pital. This will be appreciated espe-, cialiy by those who had to take the trip to the hospital over the old road when perhaps they had a broken leg or an appendix abscess. "The Hospital Circle of the King's Daughters has jut3t equipped the char ity wards with , new matresses 1 at ait. -expense of $143. The gift was mader in place of the food carriages which they had been planning to give. "The Jewish Ladies' Sewing Society has given the hospital a generoug sup ply of linen. "Other gifts, such as reading mat ter, fruits, etc., have been) made by various friends during the year. "As to the needs of the hospital, we would suggest: 1.
