Several of the train's crew were badly but not seriously burned. Thev succeeded in saving only four'cars out of the whole train,. the one next to the engine, and three at the rear of the train. The loss will fall heavily on the railroad company, but it is impossible to ascertain as yet what it will be. The cause of the accident is unaceuiuua. w PROMINENT NEWSPAPER MAN DEAD. Mr. James W. Scott, one ot the best known newspaper men in this country ,who established the Chicago Herald, and consolidated with it the Times of that city, died suddenly in New York City Sunday night, while on his way to Virginia Beach for rest and recreation. 1C to a i VEGETABLES I Send you a RESCUED AT SEA. MAN TAKEN FROM A BARGE WHICH HAD BEEN ADRIFT AT SEA FOR THREE DAYS. The schooner Fostina. which arrived at Savannah Friday from Boston had on board R. C. Boyd, of Norfolk, who was taken off a barg-e at sea last Tuesday about twelve miles E. N. E. , of Cape Charles light ship. The barge had been adrift since Monday night at 8 o'clock, having parted from the tusr boat Thomas A. Bain during a storm and heavy sea. Two railroad barges be longing to the Norfolk and Cape Charles road lashed together, were being towed by the tug boat from Wilmington, Del., to Norfolk. The young man Boyd was the only person 011 board of the barges. They got out of the Capes Saturday night and were struck -by a storm. The hawser parted and the tug, to save her self, put back for Norfolk and left the barges and Boyd to the mr-rrv of the waves. He had nothing to eat or drink from Sat urday night until 3 o'clock Tues day when he was taken off and cared for by Capt. Philbrook of the schooner Fostina. Captain Philbrook sent Boyd home by rail.

S. MITCHELL, SOLICITING AGENT. EARTHQUAKE IN CEN TRAL EUROPE- : shocks! Violent earthquake were felt throughout central Europe on Sunday night last, resulting in great damage to life and property. Buildings were demolished in various cities of Italy and Germany. Many lives were lost in some cities. At Fiunie the audience in the Players' Theatre had just risen to leave the building when the first shock came. All crowded madly to the exits. Many per sons were injured in the struggle mi t none fatally. All night boats filled with fugitives put out from the Fiunie wharves to the shipping. There is hardly a vessel in the harbor without sev eral Fiume families on board who are afraid to return to land. during the panic in Trieste a righteued horse ran down a cro wded street injuring twenty persons seriously and knocked down fifty or sixty. The harbor was agitated as if by a storm and several boats earring persons to the shipping were capsized. Six persons were drowned. Slight shocks were felt throughout the day. A REMARKABLE RACE A long distance race between two American ships ended in New York Friday last in a very close finish, if not absolutely a tie. The ships were the Tain O'Shanter, of Portland, Me., and the Wandering Jew, of Camden, Me. The vessels left Hong Kong on the same day, the Tain O'Shanter an hour or so in the lead and both arrived at the Sandy Hook lightship yesterday, the Tarn C'Shanter still holding her lead. The race lasted ninety-six days. At Godwin, near Fayetteville, N. C, a negro named Smith seri ously wounded Alex Wade, a farmer near there, by striking him two heavy blowTS on the head. Smith escaped and Wade is lying at the point of death One of the burning questions before the Methodist Conference j at Salem, Mass., was .whether ministers might smoke without" beclouding their ministerial dig- nity. IllO nil 1 99 The Goods.H Needs Them. wmL Keep You Posted This Season? A FATAL DUEL. In Covington, Ky , last weekJ Senator W. P. Goebel shot and instantly killed John L. Sanford, cashier 'of the Farmers' and Traders' bank, of that city. The two men had been political and business enemies for years. Both men are prominent citizens of Covington. Goebel is a lawyer and at present State Senator from Kenton county. He is one of the best known politicians in the State. Accounts of the detail of the tragedy differ. One is to the ef fect that at 1:30 o'clock this af ternoon Goebel was coming out of the First National bank when he met Sanford, who drew a re volver and fired, the bullet strik ing Goebel in the shoulder. The latter pulled his pistol and shot three times in quick succession, all three taking effect and caus ing almost instant death. Goebel then gave himself up. The homicide grows out of a business and political feud of sev eral years standing and was not a surprise. Both were from among Kentucky's best known men, being leaders in politics, business and society. It has cre ated, a State sensation, while lo-. callv the greatest excitement prevails, as a continuation of the ill-felling that made the murder possible is certain to result in more bloodshed. CLEVER GEORGIA MOON SHINERS. In the raiding of an illicit dis tillery in Georgia, it was found that the moonshiners had gone 1 into the middle of a field, dug out a room about twelve feet square, set in stills, covered it over with planks and cultivated the soil placed on top. The mode ot entrance was by a trap door, concealed by rubbish and a cedar tree. In this hole in the ground they also had the barrels and boxes in which the mash was made. The furnace was in a corner. The smokestack ran along about-two or three inches above the ground and opened into wnar. appeared to be a burning stump Three men were arrested. .

A YOUNG IRISHMAN JUMPS FROM THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE AND IS KILLED. A young man, supposed to be James Duffy, a native of county Craven, Ireland, jumped from the Brooklyn bridge Friday after noon about 2:30 o'clock and was drowned. From what can be learned the act was but a case of bravado, he having declared that he had al ready jumped from Waterloo bridge in London and from the high bridge at Newcastle 011 Tyne, and wished to add this feat to his former exploits. Duffy according to Patrolman Donnel ly, who happened to be standing near the place where the man jumped, which he considered the highest part of the structure, emerged from the crowd on the promenade at the objective point and swung himself up to the board walk over the tracts, lrom which an iron ladder leads down to the roadway. A moment later Donnelly saw Duffy run across the roadway aud climb upon the railing that separated it from the outer cable which helps to sup port the central span. All of Donnelly's efforts to stop the man from his intentions were of no avail. Duffy, balanc ing himself upon the cable, threw a. m off" his coat and sprang out into the air. In his descent he turn ed over and over several times. One looker-on said that he saw Duffy's body make four somer saults before it struck the water. He did not come to the surface afterwards. Duffy stood in Park Row near the bridge entrance early this af ternoon, and announced that he was about to jump from the bridge at its highest point. He asked half a dozen different men to go along and see him jump as he wanted to have witnesses to prove that he had really made the leap.

Sidero Orfino, an Italian iabor er, committed suicide at Scotts- dale, Pa., by throwing himself 111 front of a freight train. When he lived in New Orleans several years ago he incurred the enmity of the Mafia and in a fight stab bed a member of the society of assassins. Then he wandered North, but they followed him everywhere, and he returned to lis old home in Italy, where his wife and family lived. He had been there but a short time be- ore his enemies discovered him and he sailed for this country again. His landing in New York was noted by the Mafia there and he sought safety in the coal region of Western Pennsyl vania. About a month ago he obtained employment upon the construction of a sewer at Scotts dale. He told the storv of his persecution to some of his fellow workmen, who were Americans and said he would never run away from the Mafia again. They were incredulous and questioned some Italians upon the subject Their doing so was fatal to Orfi. no. In a few days he received a Mafia letter, warning him to leave the coke region or suffer immediate death. He preferred to take his own life. SERIOUSLY HURT. MASHED BY A HORSE CART AT THE N. & S. DEPOT. Tuesday morning Mr. Thom as Sutton, of Perquimans county, was seriously hurt at the N. & S. depot. While at the depot attending to some business the horse of Mr. W. L. Bos well took fright and ran away, mashing Mr. Sut ton between the cart and plat form. He was carried to the of fice of Dr. J. H. McMullan, for treatment, at which place the in jured man remained all day, be ing unable to be sent to his home. m m m Newspaper advertising pays best of all. Try an ad in the me Fisherman $1 Farmer.

Don't let loose. If you have an ambition which is laudable, hold to it, and don't let loose. If you have a belief in a friend and he is square hold to him, and don't let loose. And so the story could be con tinued. But more emphatic still should be your resolution to not let loose of the town w hich is sure to win. Let loose of your purse strings But do not let loose of the town which promises to grow and expand and develop into commercial greatness. Edenton will be such a town- ami no man should let loose. There is ample business going on at this time to assure every thing that one may wish; there are ample enterprises under way and more will be started and pro jected and pushed to a successful termination. Hold on! Do not let loose of what is most surely in sight and what most surely must in a short time make a city and make you a richer man. All is ours these days and noth ing need be done but a little push ing, a little hurry and that will bring the desired end more quick ly than the waiting process. In business, in love, in war, in life in the upbuilding of our town or city, you should rcmcm her this advice which will stand the test: Hold on Do not let loose. A DAY AT THE FISHERY.

Early in the morn ing wagon loads of jolly young people vere on the road and by noon the beach was crowded to see the seine come in. This was one 0 the largest hauls of the season, and to the visitors, a wonderful sight. After lunch and a delightful time rowing, sailing and roam ing over the beach, they set out for home, everyone voting it a most enjoyable day. THE SHAKESPEAREAN ENTER T A INMENT.
