The French market, where four gen erations of housewives have bargain ed and bought meats and vegetables, will soon have passed. The New Orleans sanitarians won in their fight for conditions that will insure purer food, and the market, part of which has stood since its first establishment in 1S01, is to be replaced by a remod eled structure, with white-tiled stalls and modern screening instead of the open-to-fly booths a century old. The renovation of the market has begun. For years the old market, the first the Spaniards erected in the latter part of the ISth century, in Decatur street, then the levee, has been sought by painter and writer for its local color. Savannah, Ga., was visited by a se vere electrical storm that brought along with it a tremendous fall of rain and during which time lightning played pranks in many parts of the city. Two fires were started by the lightning; the street car service was stopped and a great deal of incon venience caused. The flagpole on top of the four-story Odd Fellows' hall, on Barnard and State streets, was struck by lightning. The large build ing is tenanted by a great many peo ple, and the blinding flash of light ning and the terrific peal of thun der, accompanied by the falling pieces of pole to the earth, almost created a panic among them for a time. Rev. W. C. Freeman, Primitive Bap tist minister and storekeeper of the village of Mixie, Tenn., was found dead in his storehouse, as the result of a bullet wound in his head. Whether the minister was assassinated or shot himself was not determined. A small caliber rifle was found near the body. One theory advanced, however, is that possibly the rifle was thrown near the body of the minister as a ruse by those responsible for his death. While swimming in about four and a half feet of water off Sullivan's Island, S. C, Corporal Kirkpatrick of the Seventy-eighth company, coast ar tillery corps, was bitten by an eight foot shark. The soldier sustained the loss of several toes. Kirkpatrick, see ing the shark, undertook to escape by hurrying for the shore. The fish fol lowed him and snapped at his feet. The victim suffered great pain. L. R. Winn, president of the Annis ton, Ala., Baseball club, and Robert Britton, the eight-year-old son of Pres ident G. G. Britton of the Interstate Rolling company, were killed when Mr. Winn's automobile turned turtle. In a fight over a pool game on a discarded table in which stockings were used for "pockets" and in which the players used broomsticks for cues, Michael Guelda, aged 14, was fatally hurt by Charley Saylor, also aged 14. The Saylor boy had rigged up the old table in his back yard at Louisville, Ky., and invited several of his boy friends to play. Saylor says that the Guelda boy broke one of the "cues" and pushed the table over, whereupon he hit the visitor on the head with an axe. General. tnited States District Judge C. H. Hanford, the first Federal judge ap pointed when Washington was admit ted to statehood twenty-three years ago, sent his resignation to President Taft while the last witnesses were waiting to testify before the house judiciary sub-committee which has been hearing evidence relative to the charges of misconduct filed against Judge Hanford. Judge Hanford's counsel said, after the resignation, that "the judge has desired to resign for several weeks, but could not well do so with no evidence heard. He is satisfied with the showing made. Clara Ferris, 10 years old, of Le banon, ill., was shot through the heart and killed in an accident caused by a dog. The girl was in the yard of her home and not far away John Wal lace, 14 years old, was cleaning a re volver. As he put the loaded cylin der in place a dog ran into his arm, causing h'm to discharge the weapon. The bullet struck the girl. When a piece of slate fell on a mino mile, it kicked the driver, Mike Rea dy, off the first car, and that car and another ran over and killed him when the mule started up in Terre Haute, Indiana. Storms did damage of $50,000 or ffiore in Louisville, and kept thousands of Sunday excursionists marooned. 1 IJ- L. Koontz of Altoona, Wis., re tnrnrd to Chicago after an absence of seventeen years and became lost. Ha obtained the aid of a negro in finding a hotel. The "hotel" ,proved to be an alley where the negro robbed Mr. Kofntz of $30 and then fled.

From Brownsville, Pa., it is report ed that horsemen dashing frantically down the Red Stone valley, often with water up to the saddle girths, made a journey of nine miles in time to save the lives of hundreds of per sons at Smock, a mining village. Aside from the great quantity of wa ter due to the cloudburst, it was fear ed a huge reservoir was about to let go. Within a few minutes a thou sand families were rushing in and through the muddy waters to the hill sides. Soon the water rushed into the mining village, causing heavy damage. That mail trains frequently are compelled to run more than eighty miles an hour to make the schedules demanded by the United States gov ernment, was brought out at the in vestigation of the recent Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad wreck at Western Springs, 111., in which thirteen lives were lost. The Illinois railroad and warehouse commission is making the investigation. Robert Rice, superintendent of the railroad, told of having ridden more than eigh ty miles an hour on mail trains. "Heads I die, tails I win," said Franz Sirle, 24 years old, of New York City, who was out of work, while in a shooting gallery in that city. Sirle took a nickel from his pockets and flipped it in the air. "It's heads," he said, as the coin descended. "Well, I have nothing much to live for." Then, before any of those around him could make a move to stop him, he drew a revolver from his pocket, turned It against himself and fired one shot, which lodged just under the heart. Sirle died In an ambulance on his way to the hospital. Washington. Each battleship of the navy will be equipped with a speedy hydroplane within the next year if later plans of the navy department materialize. Rear Admiral Phillip Andrews, act ing secretary, has called upon manu facturers to notify the department not later than August 15, whether they will submit hydroplane designs to meet naval requirements.

FOR SANITARY REGENERATION Secretary of Board of Health Says Fight Against Disease Should Not Be Relaxed Danger of Whooping Cough is Too Generally Underrated. Raleigh. The bulletin of the state board of health, issued recently for the year, shows a slight advance in the fight against disease and presents some very striking figures. That it is not an ideal condition is manifest to everybody and there is a great .deal of work to be done. There are six excesses shown in the grand total of deaths and three credits. But on the whole, the bulletin shows great need of sanitary regeneration and a complication o fthe figures will prove it. The bulletin is prepared by Dr. W. S. Rankin, secretary of the board of health, and concerns itself with treat ment of nine causes of death. It pro ceeds upon a death rate per thou sand, that is to say, show what should be the vital statistics of the country based upon the thousand as the unit. If a state or municipality shows a lower death rate than the country does in Its entirety, the health is good. If higher. It is rated bad. The first chart in the bulletin deals with aggregate deaths. There are shown to be 42,040 from all causes, but there should have been but 35, 563, according to the figures of the government's census, making an ex cess of 8,477. From the several caus es, come these deaths: Tuberculosis, 5,658; Pneumonia, 4,322; Typhoid Fever, 1,551; Diarrhea (infant), 4,070; Malaria, 532; Whoop ing Cough 736; Measles, 141; Scarlet Fever,, 49; Dyptheria, 257.

This election made the seventeenth district in Craven. The township that did itself this credit was No. 1, and the district No. 11. Seventeen such elec in a county of deficient education be for the present educational qualifica tions were made into a suffrage law, indicate a very healthful growth. It is decidely encouraging. The growth of the local tax districts has been phe nominal. It is not to be said that any one administration has a monoply up on them. The first ones were created in 1880. There were four that year. During the 1890 census, but eight counted and in 1900 there were only eighteen. Disappearance of Boy Mlsterious. The disapearance of the 15-year-old son of Mr. Layden of Belvidere, Per quimans county, grows more myster ous. The boy has not been seen or heard of in 10 days, and a white man named Vann, his companion- on the day of his disappearance, is now in Hertford jail and refuses to give any information concerning the boy's whereabouts. When last seen Layden and Vann were in the neighborhood of Winfall riding bicycles with sev eral boys. Afterwards Vann was lo cated in Berkley, arrested and brought back to Hertford.

L. Joyce, local agent of the Winston Salem Southbound railroad, was shot in the leg sustaining a very painful wound. A phycian was immediately summoned anti dressed- the wound, the bullet being located just above the knee cap of the left leg. Just where the shot came from Is puzzling.

A feature of the session was the unanimous decision to pay to the city, next entertaining the associa tion at its annual convention $500 to be used in defraying the expenses of same. This was at President Mc Neill's suggestion, and though he had it in mind at the last convention the thing which prompted him to forego introducing the subject at that time is obvious. This will enable some smaller towns hereafter enter tain the convention (which by the way they all seem anxious to do) the matter of expense involved having heretofore precluded that possibility. Various papers were read and dis cussed and all delegates evinced an unusual interest in the discussion. Entertaining as the last starter In a field of fifteen, with three teams tied for the lead, Newbern Company No. 1, the winner of the same event last year, won the feature of the card, the state horse hose wagon race, in 33 2-5 seconds, clipping three fifths of a second from the time of the three preceeding leaders, Raleigh Rescue, Newbern Fourth Ward and the Cap ital Hose Company of Raleigh, which it tied at 34 flat.

Specimens of the pest, which is a tiny yellow grasshoper in appearance, have been sent to the state entomologist. Have Selected Design For Monument.

In many cases there were no nominations and a second primary will have to be held in the near fu ture, the two highest in the first primary will be the opposing candi dates in the second.

Reports from Toneka. that supporters of Mr. Taft In Kansas, among them David W. Mulvane, plan to have the Supreme Court of the United States review the decision of the Supreme Court of Kansas in tha presidential primary case, have arous ed interest of Republican political leaders here of all factions. Friends of Colonel Roosevelt, nar- ticularly Senator Bristow of Kansas. are watching for developments in the case and keeping a keen lookout for the arrival of legal representatives of the Taft champions in Kansas, who may be coming to seek an order directing that the case be reviewed. The Supreme Court of Kansas de cided that it would not enloin countr clerks from printing on the primary Daiiots of August 6 under the name of "'Republican party" the names of men who had declared they . would vote for Roosevelt.

Applica- ' tion might also be made to Justice Day, now at Mackinaw. While a justice might feel himself empowered to issue an order for tha review, members of the court lately have hesitated to take that responsi bility, where momentous auestions de licately balanced were involved. Chief Justice White referred the application to the entire court when an applica tion for similar relief was made in the "beef trust" case last winter.
