The man was standing by the rock crusher, just Mow the bridge when struck. The accident occurred at n sharp curve, and the engineer could not see the man until almost upon him. It is believed that the noise mude by the crusher drowned the whistle ot the train, as the man gave no sign of hearing the engineer's warning.

The sale ol the place to the State for quaran tine purposes created a great hubbub among the people of the towns of Islip and llabylon, w ho predict all kinds of dire calamities as n result of hi tiding pas sengers from vessels infected with cholera upon the beach. Nliw Yohk, Sept. 12. More than a hundred South liny catboats, sharpies, sloops and other small boats, each with ten or more men and boys on board, were under weigh at daybreak this morning, sailing from all points on the Great South Hay toward Tire Island, off the south shore of Long Island. In all the boats every man had a gun or pistol, and the entire flotilla carried per haps a thousand armed men. Of these live or six hundred came from I'atchogu, Savvillc and. the country near them, 2;"(l from Hay shore, and perhaps as many from Babylon. Iiverv man on board the boat was cither a "Hay man" or a sympathizer, and was fully deter mined to prevent, by force if necessary, the landing ol the quarantine cabin pas sengers on lire Island.

Ni:v H.vvliN, Conn., Sept. 10 Mayor I. B. Sargent owns the largest manufac tory in this city, employing nc.iily two thousand hands and producing all kinds of hardware. Of late he has grumbled very much at the effect of the MeKinley bill on his business, and today he received 'i message from the mayor of Milwaukee, offering him flattering inducements if he would remove bis business to that city. Mavor Sat gent said : "Tndcrthe present tariff laws we could obtain raw material at much cheaper rates in the West than we can here. If raw material were admitted li ce of duly vessels from all over the world would be unloading their cargoes of such material in New York, so that the iron and coal kings of Pennsylvania would be obliged to meet the New York prices. In that case New York would be the great centre for raw material and New Haven would be a far belter place lor such a plant lis ours than any city in the West. What is the case t present : tin ac count of the existing tariff the dealers in raw materials tn the West put up prices as high as the price of foreign raw mate ria which comes into Aew lorn mu ddied bv a heavy import tax. The loss all falls on the maiiulacturer. We must Dav SO. 72 a ton for iron and about $ 1.10 a ton for lead and so on. In the West the cost ol raw material is cheaper, because there is less freight to pay." N. Y. Herald. A HICKORY THAii:llV The tirooiii, of a l ew MtioolH to Kill. IIOlltM Hie'KoKV. N. C. Sept. 10.

Howard Take Fire and Burn ui ThouKlit to Have Uern an Iucetidlary'M Work. As the congregations of the churches were being dismissed lust evening the whistle of the electric light station on Valley street was heard giving warning of lire. A few moments later au alarm was turned in from box 1(12. on emit place. The hook and ladder tt tick was out in short order, but it was ten or fifteen minutes before the hose truck could be gotten out. The fire had broken cut in a tvo-stoi j building on Valley street, near liagle, that had formerly been used as a store. When the hose company became ready to play upon the building, and the water was turned on, the hose burst, causing another delay of several minutes while the burst section was being taken out. By this time the lire had been communicated to a dwelling house ad joining, which buildii.g was almost to tally destroyed before ti e water could be turned upon the llamcs. Men and women from the churches went to the scene of the tire, the crowd being one ol the largest ever seen at a night fire in Asheville. The burned buildings were owned by II. M. Howard. The residence was occu pied by the family ol W. K. Rogers. Nearly all ol the liirniture was saved. There had been no occupant in the other building for several weeks. Mr. How- 1 says the houses cost him about $l.S0ii. There was about $700 insur ance on the two houses, placed withl'iil liain ci Kutledge, in the Lancashire and Home insurance-companies. It is thought by Mr. Howard that the fire was of in cendiary origin, as there had been no fire near the building which caught first for some time. A serious neglect of duty was brought out by this lire. The drivers of the hose and hook and ladder trucks, John Brooks and Ben Urwin, were awav from the quarters, atterdiug church, when the tlnrnt sounded. 1 lie hie was seen by G. S. Henderson, of the "Hooks," before the a I, 'inn sounded, and he hitched the horses to the ladder truck, completing the work just as 1-oreman M. 11. Kelly ran up. Mr. Kelly drove the horses to the scene of the lire. The hose horses, how ever, could not be hitched so easily. Capt. I raiik O Donnell drove this truck to the fire, It has been said that the water supply had been cut oil' at the filter, but this is a mistake. The delay was due to the absence of the drivers and the bursting of the hose. Foreman Kelly has discharged his driver, Urwin, and employed L. Fulluni, white, in his stead.
