THE TRAIN WAS DERAILED But Engineer Dupree Stuck Bravely to His Post. “JUMP!” HE CALLED TO THE FIREMAN But for His Watchfulness There Might Have Been a Greater Disaster. Hurricane Branch and His Blotdhound Sent For, (Special to the eNws and Observer.) Washington, N. C., Aug. 2.—The Washington and Plymouth passenger train leaving Plymouth regularly daily at 6:30 a. m., due to arrive here at 8:30 a. m., was wrecked near the station tailed Hinsone this morning, eight miles from Plymouth. Some miscreant had removed two rails from the track. If it had not been for the watchfulness and extra caution of the efficient engineer, Sam R. Dupree, several human beings might have boon ushered into eternity. During the night two rails had been taken from the track a quarter of a mile apart. One rail wah removed to catch the passenger train leaving Plymouth, the other to derail the relief train. The rails were not only removed from the track but the engine was considerably damaged. Fortunately, due to a kind Providence, no one was killed or in jured. How the passengers and officials es caped is miraculous. The engineer dis covered the rail gone just in time to prevent more serious damage. Although the engine was derailed and thrown some distance, he stuck to his post of duty and hailed the fireman, telling him to jump. His act of heroism is highly complimented by all. The train did not reach here in conse nuonce of the disaster until 12 o’clock. The track is now all clear and trains are filling their schedule time. Officials here have wired for Hurricane Branch, the famous detective, and his noted bloodhound. Every > effort will be made to locate and catch the guilty onei,. There is no clue as to the perpetrators. The deed was one of the foulest ever at tempted in this section. JARVIS FOR LDUCATION. A Strong and Convincing Appeal Made at . Smitbfield.

P. Oanaday, principal of Bcnsqn Academy, in a few well chosen remarks, introduced Governor Jarvis to an audi ence of six or seven hundred people, composed largely of school teachers from this and other counties. The Governor said in part: “I am glad to see so many intelligent people present. It is indicative of the fact that the best people are interested in the greatest of all questions—the ques tion of education. I note many changes in Smithfield now and Smithfield years ago. I am happy to say that these are all changes for the better. The people in this, as well as in every other county of our State, have better churches, bet ter homes, better school houses than they had ten years ago, and for this rea son thev are happier now than they were then. Wo live in a wonderful age. We cannot afford to allow our children to grow up in Ignorance. A father has no more right to starve his child’s mind than he has to starve his stomach. Dot us educate all the children, for it is our duty. “We should educate the children of North Carolina not only because it is our duty, hut because we have promised it to them. I am glad to see that your representative has done so much to in crease your mail facilities by supplying you with so many rural free delivery routes, but what good will they be to you unless you teach your children to read the news?” The Governor closed with a strong ap peal for better churches and better school houses, which he said were the two things which made every community.

(Special to News and Observer.) Gheensboro, N. C. August I. It has just developed here that on July 30th a prospectus was issued by the man agers of the Greensboro fire companies, contemplating the organization of a new company to work in conjunction with the present companies, the new one to have full paid capital of $30,000, SIO,OOO of this is subscribed by the managers of the Greensboro companies., SIO,OOO has been assured by Greensboro capitalists, and it is said that the remaining $30,000 will bo taken by outside parties, the plan being to place it in influential hands, distrib uted throughout the State, and indica tions are, I have been informed, that it will be speedily taken. The home com panies have certainly made another game fight for the privilege of running busi ness to the interests of their patrons, based on their own business judgment, and from that view, if no other, are to be congratulated on the outcome of the recent lively breeze. Insurance Commissioner J. R. Young was in the city on Friday night and to day. He stated that he came to Greens boro to look into the fight going on be tween the association companies and the Greensboro companies; that he had been watching the fight with consider able interest but had taken no part there in so long as the fight was carried on within the bounds of the law; but as soon as he saw that the companies had notified certain citizens of the State that they must give up the policies of the Greensboro companies, or they would cancel off their policies, he determined to look into the matter. He came here and found that this notice had been called off and no policies taken up, because many of the companies disapproved of it. The Commissioner stated that he had had a conference with the representatives of both sides, and that it now looked as if the matter was in a fairway to be settled upon such terms as would be mu tually satisfactory to both the homo and foreign companies, and for the best infer* ests of the citizens of the State.

Dear Sir: As second vice-president of the Farmers’ National Congress, it be comes my duty, under the plans of or ganization, in order to secure proper ltpresentation from North Carolina, to present to Governor C. B. Aycock for his appointment to the next annua! meeting of the Congress, to be held at Macon, Ga., October 7,8, 9 and 10. 1902, the names of two delegates from the State-at-large, one from each Congressional district, one or more from each agricultural organiza tion in the State, who constitute the regular delegation. These the Governor has appointed, as will appear below. He has the authority to appoint associate delegates; and will doubtless do so on application of farmers. But no person will be recognized as a delegate without his appointment. By the president, Hon. Geo. L. Fland ers, of Albany, N, Y., I am informed that great interest is taken in hi s State in the Macon, Ga., meeting. By Ihe secretary, Mr. John M. Stahl, of Illinois, I am informed that fully 1,000 delegates will attend from the Northern States, and the first vice-president, Hon. Harvie Jordan, of Monticello, Ga., writes me that the number of application as asso ciate delegates for appointment is very large in Georgia, and then he says: “The next annual session of the Congress, I think, will be the largest and most in teresting ever held in the South. We are making every preparation for a big and successful meeting. I enclose an article which will give you a good idea of what is being done. What I want to ask is that you see that we have a good delegation from your State. Have your Governor appoint all the regular dele gates your State is entitled to, and im press upon them the necessity for com ing. The railroad fare is oNe STRAIGHT FARE FOR THE ROUND TRIP.” The program of subjects to be dis iissod, and the arrangement of enter tainment, should guarantee a most suc cessful meeting of representative farm ers. With thanks for your space, and for your interest iu the agricultural com munity. Very truly, BENEHAN CAMERON. The following is a list of the dele gates: From the State at Large. Gen. W. R.

The Adjustment of the Difficulty Gratifies the Citizens, (Special to News and Observer.) Goldsboro, N. C., Aug. 2.—The differ ences between the employes of the Golds boro Buggy factory and the superinten dent have been adjusted and the men have all gone back to work. The ques tion for discussion was altogether for eign to the factory and its management, and was immaturely considered by the men and caused them to take a very rash act. The community is much gratified that the matter has been adjusted so easily and that the operatives have all returned to work. At a meeting of the Board of Aldermen last night it was decided to suspend work on the new city hall until the prop erty owners on adjacent lots comply with their agreements to tear down certain old wooden structures. An alley w T ay loading to the city hall from John street was promised the town, and the board will not allow work to be resumed on the building until a deal for the alley way has been forthcoming. If the agreements are not complied with by Monday night the board of aldermen will select a new site for the city hall. Mr. B. H.

A reporter of the Economist called on James Wilcox yesterday at the county jail and held quite a lengthy conversation with him. He was looking well, with his hair nicely brushed and had just been shaven. He said that his health had been very good all the summer. When asked by the reporter if it was not very hot in jail he said some days it was, but when he got very warm he resorted to his bath tub and “covered up in water.” Wilcox conversed very freely on differ ent subjects, and seems jolly and in good spirits. Ho said among other joking remarks, “I intended going down to Nags Head last Sunday on the ex cursion, but it was so hot I didn’t want to dress.” He w’as asked if he was an noyed by visitors, and said he didn’t mind to have people call that he knew, but did not like for strangers to call just through curiosity. He said he had a card printed and put on the corner of his cell with the words, “the side show is closed,” and kept it there about a month lor the benefit of strangers. He eats and sleeps well, and says his digestion is Cvery good, and he spends his time most ly reading. He said he had read over one hundred and fifty books besides newspa pers, since he has been in jail. He still has that very indifferent appearance as to his pending fate. Wilcox’s case will be taken up by the Supreme court on the last Monday in tliis month when it will be decided whether he will get a new trial or not.

LORD DERBY THE WINNER Boraima Coes Lame and is Drawn From the Race. HE WINS THE FiRST HEAT AMID CHEIKS In the Second He Shows Signs of Lameness and Loses and in the Third He Coes All to Phces. (By the Associated Press.) Hartford, Conn., August 2. —An acci dent. today marred what was expected would prove to be the greatest trotting event in turf history. In the third heat of the $50,000 match race between Lord Derby, owned by E. E. Smathers, of New York,, and Boraima, of which Thos. W. Law’son, of Boston, is to the owner, the latter horse sustained an injury which caused him to be drawn and the race was given to Lord Derby. The re sult was a bitter disappointment, not only to the owner of the Boston horse, but to the general public, which, ot the number of 15,000 congregated at Charlter Oak Park. The injury to Boraima is such that he will probably be prevented from racing for some time to come. The Boston horse gashed the quarter of his night foreleg badly and was unable to start in the fourth heat. The Boston horse outstepped Lord Der by front the start. He took possession of the pole at the first turn and held it all the way. The horses were abouj a length apart until the home stretch was reached. As the ycame toward the wire Lord Derby swerved and broke, and Bo raima came under the wire four lengths ahead In 2:08. Loud cheering marked the finish of the heat. The horse got off promptly for the sec ond heat and Boraima led until the dis tance pole was passed. Then Lord Der by drew up and shot by Boraima. The Boston horse followed gamely and ral ried, but the rally was followed by a break, and as he crossed the wire two lengths behind Lord Derby. In this heat Boralmo showed signs of lameness. Time 2:09%. In the third heat Boraima once more took the lead at the start, but his ad vantage was short lived. He broke at the first turn and again in the stretch. As the racers cftnie toward the wire it was plainly evident that something se rious had happened to Boraima, for he went to pieces and Geers pulled Lord Derby in order rnot to distance his un lucky rival and allowed Boraima to come within a length of him at. the wire. Time 2:18 1-4. As soon as the heat was over the an nouncer called for a veterinary surgeon, I)r. G. 11. Lee, of Boston, responded and found that Boraima had been so badly injured that ho could race no more to day. Consequently, with the consent of : the judges, he was drawn. In order to fulfill the requirement sos the match, : Lord Derby trotted the next heat alone and was then awarded the victory. After > the last heat had boon trotted Lord 1 Derby, accompanied by a runner, trotted | an exhibition mile in 2:08. t John Roach, Mr. Lawson’s representa j tive, said that the injury to Boraima ! would undoubtedly prevent the race be j tween the Boston horse and The Abbott at Charter Oak Park on August 30th.
