The electric street cars are in opera
tion in Haleigh at last. This is a fact.
A preliminary test having been made
Saturday night to see that everything
was all ready the cars were started out
Monday morning. A car was run from
Union depot out to Athletic Park and
back, and afterwards made regular trips
between the depot'and Capitol Square,
bringing the passengers up town who
came in on the noon train.
The starting of the electric cars is a
source of great gratification to Raleigh
at large, and the thanks of the public"
are cordially ecte,nded to the. Raleigh
Street Railway company.

- The run to Statesville was made on
time, a distance of twenty-tire 'miles;
but just after leaving Statesville there is
a high stone bridge spanning Third sreek,
and down into, this creek plunged the
entire train, a distance of at least 65 feet,
'wrecking the whole train and carrying
death and destruction with it.
Twenty passengers were killed out
right; nine seriously" injured, and about
twenty. badly bruised and shaken up.
The'scene at the wreck beggars des
cription. The night was dismal and to
add to the horror of the situation the
water in the creek was up. It was only
through the most heroic efforts of those
Who had, hurried to the scene of the
WTeck that the injured were not

The accident was caused by spreading
rails. The bridge was' not injured, and
trains are running on sc-nedule time.
Statesville, N. C, August. .31.
The jury in the bridge disaster case re-j
turns the following verdict at 11:30 to
day: "The jury finds from the.evidence,

the Saucy Insects.
Reading, Pa., September 4. Five
young ladies of Reading suffered a pain
ful experience with hornets fct the
Sanatoga camp-meeting this week and
some of them barely escaped with their
lives. They had taken off their shoes
and stockings to wade through a brook, ,
and on ascending the farther bank dis
turbed a hornets' nost.
A swarm of enormous insects attacked
the girls and severly stung them on the
feet and lower limbs. Some of them
fainted from fright and pain, and none
were able to pat on their shoes to walk
back to camp. A .searching party late in
the evening found - the young women
still at the brookside disabled.

spare him and let us try him as an ad
