Some of the Republicans are
having a good deal to say about
Marion Butler these days. One
of them said Tuesday that he
believed Mr. Butler would be
the North Carolina Tillman.
Chief Justice Campbell, the dis
guished jurist from Cherokee
calls Mr. Butler an iugrate, says
he was "made by the Republican
party," and that but for the latter
party would have been nowhere.
The Chief Justice, in a fine burst
of rage said: "I am tired of this
Marion Butler." The moral of
this is that Mr. Butler was "a
good enough Morgan" so long as
he was in fellowship with the Re
publicans, but now that he has
made his declaration of indepen
dence they do not need him in
their business.

ELEPHANTS IN A FIGHT.
THEY FALL OUT OVER A PEANUT
IN A CIRCUS PARADE.
The Edenton people who wit
nessed the parade of Wallace's
Circus at Norfolk, a few weeks
ago, will be interested in the
following from a Laurcnceburg,
Ind., paper:
The 15,000 people here to-day,
local population included, which
turned out to see the Wallace
circus parade had a day in which
were combined fun and fear The
two big elephants that led the
parade fell out over a peanut
from a bystander and rushed at
each other trumpeting and
screaming. They beat each oth
er with tusk and trunk, and the
noise of the contest was heard
squares away.
The tigers, lions, hyenas,
frenzied by the noise, added their
outcries and fought the bars of
their cages The elephant,
Prince, knocked down his mate,
Diamond, and the noise and ex
citement began intense. Patsy
Forepaugh and Johnny Kelley,
the elephant keepers, rushed on
the big beasts. Diamond caught
Forepaugh and threw him 20
feet away against a box car, ren
dering him unconscious and
bruising him terribly. Kelley
was knocked down by Prince.
The four other elephants were
then called in to capture the two
rebels. They crowded upon
them, and after a terrible strug
gle knocked the offenders down
and held them until they were
chained. They were punished
in the most severe manner for
three hours before they cried for
relief.
Several people were bruised
and knocked about in the melee.
One circus man had a leg broken,
and the baby of Mrs. Arden was
hurled 75 feet. In the afternoon
the parade took place. Prince
and Diamond walked at the head
with a discouraged look and the
blood still oozing from the
Wounds.
Wants to be Hanged.
A convict confined iu the in

penitentiary respectfully asks to
be hanged. He isn't quite sure
whether he is crazy or not, but
argues that if he is crazy he

and if not crazy he should be
hanged.

BICYCLE BEATS LOCO
MOTIVE. -
As the 6:30 Pennsylvania train
left Riverside Station, N. J.,,
Mondav morning George Aruot
a carpenter who is working iu
Palmyra, started down the road
on his bicycle. The highway
runs parallel with and close to
the tracks all the way to Pal
myra, and Arnot shouted: "I'll
beat you to Palmyra."
The engineer crowded on
steam and passed the wheelman,
who was pedalling for all he
was worth; but as a stop had to be
made at Cambridge and auot'ier
at Taylor's, Arnot got a comfort
able ahead and shouted back iu
derision.
When the train pulled up at
Riverton station for a third stop
the train and the bicycle were
neck and neck. Arnot now had
a straight, hard and level stretch
of road to Palmyra station, and
he scorched over it at a breaks
neck speed. The engineer made
every effort, and the passengers
on the train rushed to the win
dows and eagerly watched the
outcome.
The engine slowly gained up
on the wheelman, whos.- legs
were moving like the arms of an
electric dyuomo, but when Pal
myra station was reached Arnot
was still several yards ahead, and
as he took off his hat and uttered
a victorious yell the passengers
gave him a heartv cheer. AVjc

A Novelty in Debt Collecting.
A new way of collecting old
debts is being introduced in
Maine towns. The introduction
of the scheme is a novelty, too.
A young woman of alleged great
attractiveness is the advance
agent, and between her own at
tractions and those of her scheme
she is said to be having complete
success. She calls on the local
merchants and secures their
membership in the new agency.
A few days after her departure
there appear 111 town a number
of men dressed iu bright green
coats, who get the particulars ol
old debts and debtors from the
members and then proceed to
call on the victims. The con
tract provides that the horribly
conspicuous collectors shall make
1 5 cents a day on each creditor,
meeting them anywhere and
everywhere. The scheme is re
ported to be a big success, as
most of the debtors are glad to
make a prompt settlement rather
than have the whole neighbor
hood see them haunted by the
green-coated spectre. N. V. Sitn.
Foul Murder of an Old Lady.

Dispatch from Keysville, Char

day evening Mrs. Pollard, aged
50 years, wife of K. S. Pollard, a
well-to-do farmer residing at Ft.
Mitchell, that county, was mu -dered
in her yard by being
knocked in the head with an axe.
Her head ras beaten into a
jelly. The object was robbery,
as the house was rifled and $60
stolen. Twenty-five men were
working in a field some 300 yds.
distance when the murder was
committed. Circumstantial evi
dence points to two colored wo
men who lived on the place.
Small Farms.
When our North Carolina
farmers can be made to under
stand that a small farm intelli
i gently cultivated is much more
profitable than a large one only
half tilled they will have made a
great advance in agriculture.
The German farmer succeeds in
getting more money from a 20
acre farm than the average
North Carolinian from 100 acres,
for the reason that he diversifies
his crop, husbands the producing

Carolinian allows to go to waste.

A Dispute Over a Line Fence
Ends in a Homicide
A farmer named Pitts was
killed on his plantation near
Atlanta, Ga., Saturday by J. W.
Kapon, another farmer. The
two planters have been living on
adjoining plantations for the past
twenty years and have been the
best of friends. A few months
ago Pitts, the murdered man,
found that his neighbor and
friend, J. YV. Kapon, who did the
killing, was encroaching on his
land iu the construction of some
fences. The matter was first
discussed in a friendly manner,
but finally it grew into a quar
rel, and the feeling has been
growing more intense every day
since. Friday Eapon went to
Pitt's home and carried a shotgun
with him. The controversy was
renewed, and when it was over
Pitts was a dead man. Kapon
has not been arrested.

A FALL RIVER HORROR.
AXPLOSIOX OK A FIFTY HORSK
POWER KN;iXi: MAKKS A
MASS OF RUINS.
A catastrophe which created
the greatest excitement in Fall
River. Mass.. since the fl
mill fire, occurred at the Langly
Loom Harness Shop on County
street.a three-story wooden build
ing:, owned by Henry I. I,anglcy.
A fifty-diorse power boiler ex
ploded in the rear part of the
basement, blowing out the sides
of the building, knocking away
the supports and allowing the
upper iloors to settle into a mass
of ruins.
Fire started in the ruins and be
gan to burn briskly. The fire
men made heroic efforts to rescue
the imprisoned work-people, of
whom there were seventeen.
Shrieks from the jjirls in the
ruins were mingled with the ag
onized cries of their friends, who
had hurried to the scene when
the first news of the catastrophe
spread. Ambulance calls were
sent out hurriedly and every per
son who could be reached was
sent at once to the scene. The
offices and the houses iu the vi
cinityWere turned into temporary
hospitals. At 9 o'clock the bad
ly charred and scarcely recogniz
able body of a woman was hauled
from the ruins. The fire had
then been quenched, but it was
still smouldering and the work of
rccuing could go on only with
difficulty. Up to noon the work
of search and rescue was carried
on amid great excitement and at
that hour it was found that four
persons had been killed, three
more were missing, and four had
been seriously injured.
The killed: Lelia Hortou,
aged 17; Adele Dube, aged 18;
Robert Murray, aged 21, and
Adolph Bellefeuille.aged 30.
Missing: Angelina McCoy,
August vSeuecal and Philip
Smith.
Injured: Thomas Pur, aged
15, Mattie Deroches. Joseph
Nuttal, A uuic Hurst, Marv Par
tridge. Two were probably fat
ally injured, and, of the missing
ones, little was known at noon.
The first reports said thirty had
been killed, and it was not until
the list was given out by the
book keeper that anything defi
nite could be determined.
The explosion shook every
building within a half mile. It
wrecked the .Stafford mill win
dows on the east side and in less
than three minutes every opera,
tive was out of the buildimr
o-
f here is a great deal ol wreckage
among the mill machinery. The
force of the explosion was enough
to send bricks through the whole
width of the mill, from the east
to the west sides. The boiler
was torn part iu the middle, and
the furnace part was blown into
the building. The narrow escapes
were numerous and marvellous.
It is quite certain that seven
deaths at least will result. Mr.
Langley says the boiler was only
312 years old. Napolean Iapage,
the fireman and engineer, escaped
without injury. There was plenty
of water iu the boiler, he savs.
He has been arrested. The to
tal pecuniary loss will be about
i40,ooo.
Negro Colonists Perish.
The bodies of three negroes
were found on the barren planes
north of Mapimi, Mexico. The
bodies arc those of colonists who
went from Alabama several
months ago. They escaped from
the colony and in their attempt
to reach tue United States be
came lost iu the cacti desert and
are supposed to have perished
for lack of food and water.
