The Erwin Cotton Mill Company, of Durham, now owns all the water power and riparian rights from Moore's bridge up Haw river to the property of the Odell Company at Bynum a distance of five or six miles. A few years ago the Erwin Comp any bought nearly all the water p jw- er and ruhts between these two places, and recently they have bought the remainder, so that there is nothing n w in the way of their improving and developing this fine water-power, as is said they purposed doing when they first bought some of it. This is very valuable property anew we nope it will be developed at an early day by its enterprising owners, ho have large cotton mills at Dur ham, Duke and other places. A Well-Built House. ' Mr. J. R.Burns, of Oakland town ship, has recently completed the best built house that has been erected in this county in many years. All the lumber was carefully selected and of strictly first grade material, in strik ing contrast to so much of the material which is usually put into houses at the present day Tne timbers of this house, which is a three-story ,-40-room building, situ tted on a corumandii g eminence just two mi es this side of Cumnock, are of extra heavy qunlity. The walls and ceiling overhead of the rooms of the house are cei'ed with heart cedar, pine and poplar, finished m nam oil, wnicn presents a very pleasin r appearance to the eye. The floors are a'l of double thick ness, the top flo r being of well select ed oak. thus insurinu srearer warmth as well as sability. A pleasi-ig feature of this house is that a 1 the lumber, of which there is such a variety in the building, came from our native woods, most of it from Mr. Burns' own woods The roof is covered with heart juniper shingles and gives promise to the casual observer of lasting almost a life time. The ow er peroo' tally supervised the erection of this house and has just cause to be highly gratified at having built sucii a substantial as well as comfortable nd oeautiful d veiling.

Speeding toward Binghamton, N, y., , today is a solid train of five cars on the Lackawafina Road carrying 250 passengers and every. passenger a lunatic. " . r This train is, the .most remark able one that was. ever sent over the Lackawanna. It was made no at Hoboken especially to take the 250 men and women, all chroni cally insane, from New York. wherre they had been confined on Wards Island, to the insane asylum at Binghamton. The men and women were transported from the Wards Island asylum on the department of charity's ferry, General Wanser, to pier No. 2. Hoboken. There, under the care of 32 attendants and eight phy sicians, all in charge of - Dr. Murray, of Ward's Island, they were marched in double file to the waiting train. . Other passengers in the crowd ed Lackawanna station hardlv knew that the 250 men and women they saw filing into the train were all insane, some of them afflicted with homicidal mama. But there was no demonstration on the part of any of the patients and all were quietly seated in the train, which pulled out shortly aiterward. Anions: the patients were eight Japanese and seven negroes, l welve ot them had com mitted murder. A Silent Household. Banburg (Conn.) Dispatch to The New York World. , . James L. Williams, a hatmaker. and his wife, have occupied the same house, taken their meals at the same table togetner, and been in each other's company almost continually for five years without speaking a word to each other. Five years ago they quarreled and Williams made a vow that he would never again speak to his wife. He has kept it religiously, and so completely was their affec tion for each other severed in the quarrel that the wife has not once besrered for a word from her husband. Their eldest daughter, Alice, 19 years old, took sides with her mother, and during the five years she has never address ed her father, although she is a member of the household. The couple have two young children and have carried on what communication , was , necessary through these. Even this means was used only in caes of extreme necessity. Two Fatal Accidents.
