Cnptaiu Duncan says It waan't the nineteenth, because that was .- his. birthday, and he remcmbera that he didn't celebrate it. He says that ' it happened on Sanday, August 18. The ' calendar aaya that August 17, 1879, was Sunday. But anyway t Collapse Veetpected. - J ''The wind, had . been blowing all f night," aaid .Captain Duncan. "The ! hotel waa built out Over the water, on I piled, but though the wind was blnwing I hard nobody expected aoy trouble. ,. "The hotel waa filled probably there were 150 guests there and they were I all one big family, ' There were no '' strangers among us. Mrs. Thomas J. . i Jams, widow of the late Governor Jar . vis (who was also present), and Col. . .j Joseph E. l'ogue were among fhoso present who are still living. Many - - hare- passed awayr though- many of " the younger set, with which we wcra f. numbered then, have passed nway. "It waa about 5:30, Sunday morning, when I heard some one call' that tha - tide waa already full, when it had three hours yet to rise. I was sleeping down n ; stairs, and got up at once. Hooa we . were awaking the guests. Stretched Ropes te Shore. Tho ballroom had just been covered " over that year fdr the first time. It . adjoined the hotel, being half on shore i and half over tho water. Downstairs was a billiard room and a bar. ' "We stretched ropes from the shore through this ball room. Then the hotel structure collapsed, about e:.10, and was . wrecked by tho waves. The guests by this time had taken to the ropes and to V' shore. The ballroom floated off like a .. one-story house, leaving the billiard . (3 room and the bar buried below. . 'Two were drowned in trying to save others. They were Mr. John ughes of New Bern and Mr. Conglctpn of Beau fort.' "Col. Paul Falson couldn't do much '' with his rope, so he got a husky nigger nud gave him five dollars apiece to haul his live children ashore. "Everybody lost their personal be longings. I didn't even have another shirt." So Capt. Dunran, even as the Trojan hero who thought of a shipwreck only ; as something he might remember with ' pleasure, told the story of the wreck- ing of the Atlantic Hotel. "The visito's at the Old Atlantic nlwaya felt that they were members of a! great family," he. concluded, "and the aurvivors to this time love to refer to their visits there ' as lircat Days." - SOAP CLLB3 IN LONDON.

POKER GAME LEADS :.I01I Several Officers of High Point labor union taught in vy Police Chief's Net - High Point, Aug.; lir-Polira Chief Welch and assistant made a big baul yestorday when Ive leaders of organ- ized labor taking part in tha differences between manufacturers and employees here, were arrested while at apoker table and later placed under 50 bond each for appearance at trial today. The men Indicted art Scott Kiser, treasurer of tha local union of tha carpenters and joiners organization; A. M. 8tewart, head of tha textile workers; Boy White. financial secretary of tha textile work era: Charles Kitehin, an official of tha furnituro workers. Tha fifth member of tha party, W. g. Hurman, forfeited his bond 'by failing to put in an ap pearance at tha trial today. Riser waa fined 1100 and given the alternative of going to the roads for six months, while Stewart, held to be less guilty, was fined $30.' White and Kitehin by reason of their testimony were discharged but were held under bond to appear in the eases charging Kiser with retailine?. warrants for which were Issued by Chief Welch at tha eonelusioa of the 'first and main trial. ' Evidence was offered by White and Kitehin, who were placed on the stand by tho State, that tha mcu bad previ ously played at the same place and that the gallon and half of whiskey found Saturday night was partly sold by Kiser, two pints having been pro cured from him earlier in the nay Over six quarts of whiskey was found in the room whero the' gnme was going on and which is used by the union as headquarters. The cards and (10.45, the stake on the table, were offered in evidence, ricott Kiser, the testimony showed, had given a check for bond money on nn official union check which Chief Welch hod cashed prior to the trial. Attorneys were bitter in their denunciation of men nho would violate the trust of workers who had itmced their confidence and their money with them. Their remarks were not forthcoming until a witness stated that the funds were supposed tj he forwarded to the great headquarters of the carpenters :ml joiners organiza tion at Indianapolis, but none had been forwarded as yet. 'Kiser, White and Kitehin were re manded to jail following the trial, So cause of their inability to give bond. President Jones, of the carpenters' and joiners' union, has taken over the books of the union from Scott Kiser and this nfteraoon was having them balanced at the bank. I'pon the finding of the hank will depend whether Kiser was short any of tho unions funds. REV. N. COLLIN HUGHES TO CONDUCT SCHOOL FOR BOYS ' Rev, N.

' yNayasaa.iatawwwww narinn R ARREST Familiar Brands of Flour Give Best Results Housewives know that they get unsurpassed bakiags when they use "Dan Velley," "White Satin" or "Dan Hirer Self Bising" brands, as their experience during the past quarter of a century proves. Delicious breads, biscuits, rolls and cake nave been th reward that has come to users of this flour during all these years, and they know that they run no risk, bnt that the most tempting results are assured. ' In thousands of homes noted for their good breed, no other flour is ever used. The white aad velvety appearance of the Dan Valley brands has long been recognised, but this appearance ia gained without any lose of nutritive value, all the strength of the wheal being retained through our- own process of milling.

URGES IMMEDIATE SALE DIRECT TO THE CONSUMER J Washington, Aug. 18. Immediate sale direct to the consumer of all gov-1 ernment food stuffs in storage, Federal ownership or control of storage houses' and refrigerator ears, and the appoint ment of a federal commission on ex ports, were among the suggestions for reduction of living costs made before tha House agriculture committee today by Charles P. Gillea, of Newark, spokes man for a delegation of fifty mayors of New Jersey municipalities. No hied conditions -of labor or wages, Mr. Gillen stated, could be ex pected until food prices have been lowered. " Dealers in New Jersey, he said, ''piophesy further increases, all due to unsettled prices and profiteer ing." Regulation of exports by a federal commission nas advocated by Mayor Dorsey of Perth Amboy, who said com modities were being sold in Europe at lower prices than here. "I don't suggest an embargo," he said, "but regulating exports would regulate and tend to decrease prices." Mayor Dorsey said there wss s "lack of efficiency under government direc tion" of the railroads snd added that the roads furnishing coal and ice in New Jersey charged higher rates for longer hauls, but made less than on pre war hauls.
