A dispatch from Sauta Bar fil savs: Alexander Mc A I y i-V I. N- J w.., J Ivcr Tyndall, professional mind reader,' proposes to be buried alive for ten days, at the expira tion of which time he promises to rise from the grave. He will be placed in a hermetically scal ed casket, having been first cov ered with clarified butter, called by East Indians "gee," sealing all pores of the bodv,eyes,mouth, ears and nostrils. The work is to be performed under the eyes of prominent physicians. The casket is then to be placed six feet under ground on the Arling ton Hotel lawn. Grass seed will be olauted and permitted to grow about it. Trusty men are to keep guard over it day and night, when at the expiration of the tenth day, it shall be disin terred and opened in the pres ence of physicians who had wit nessed the 'interment. No Pops in Theirn. "Thursdav afternoon," says the Concord Standard, "several ladies of the city were making calls in a certain portion of town, and after entering the home of a friend, one of the callers remark ed they were out making " Pop" calls, whereupon the hostess put a wrong construction on ihe term, and said: "Well, 1 don't see why you should come here, for my husband ir, as good a Democrat as yours, so if it is Pop mils vou arc making you had better study the politics of your community. When the lady had concluded she left the room highlv indignant leaving the two callers in a very much cmbarras ecl state."

William J. Urguhart, accused of murdering John K. Gay on November 8th, 1870, at Suffolk, Va., and who has been a fugitive from justice since that time, has voluntarily surrendered to the authorities and had a preliminary hearing before Mayor Brewer. The mayor after hearing evidence and strong pleas by counsel, sent Urquhart 011 to grand jury and committed him without bail. Gay was found murdered near lis home on the above date, with a pistol shot wound in his breast. Urquhart immediately left the community, and notwithstand ing the efforts of the detectives towards his capture he always eluded them, and after wander ing for nearly a quarter of a cen tury he voluntarily returned and asks for a trial. He claims self- defence. The alleged murderer and the murdered man are well connected. The accused is 57 years of age. His form is bent with travel and hardships, and his beard is long and white. Anointed With Oil. Kverette Strouse.a well-known young man of Salem, Va.. was considered critically ill last week with Bright's disease. A few days ago he dismissed the three doctors attending him, summon ed some religious friends, aud at a family prayer meeting was anointed with oil by elder J. Al. Gambill, a prominent business man of Roanoke, in the manner suggested by the literal interpre tation of James, 5 th chapter, 13 verse. He is now going about his duties, apparently in a fair state of health. Second Annual Meeting. The Second Annual Meeting of the Roanoke Colony Memorial Association will be held at Nag's Head on August 18, the anniversary of the birth of Vir ginia Dare.

At Quakertown, Pa., the Meth- j odist Church was struck by j lightning last Sunday, and twen- j ty persons were prostrated. Dr. Bowman had just pro nounced the benediction at the morning's service when the bolt stiuci: the belfry, running around the edifice under the weather boards and down under the floors ing. The services having been all but concluded, many persons were in the vestibule and aisles of the church. Besides those named, fourteen persons wrere maimed and scarred. The houses of the town were turned into emergency hospitals, and the victims are tlieie being cared for. Sexton Bauman had his coat torn from his back and into shreds, and one of his shoes was ripped as by a knife. Min nie France was in her pew when A- the bolt tore through the floor. Both shoes were torn from her feet, the crown of her hat was wrenched away, and her watch chain was melted ino liquid. James Hoff was prostrated in his pew, and most of his clothing was literally torn from his body. Horses broke from their tie posts outside the church, and many of them ran away. A ve ritable panic followed the stroke. After the excitement had sub sided, it was found that the six hundred pound bell in the cupola was hanging almost by a thread, while fully one hundred persons were directly under it. The church edifice is almost a wreck, as the lightning penetrated from all sides. FOUR I.1G SUCCESSES. Having the needed merit to more than make good all the advertising claimed for them, the following four remedies have reached a phenomenal sale. Dr. King's New Discovery, for consumption, coughs and colds, each bottle guaranteed Electric Bitters, the great remedy for Liver, Stomach and Kidneys. Buckleu's Arnica Salve, the best in the world, and Dr. King's New Life Tills, which are a perfect pill. All these remedies are guaranteed to do just what is claimed for them and the dealer whose name is attached herewith will be glad to tell you more of them Sold at V. I. LcarX s Drugstore.

BY A SPANISH GUN BOAT SCHOONER MADE TO HEAVE TO AND GIVE ACCOUNT OF HERSELF. Capt. Quick, of the American schooner Carrie E. Lane, reports at Breakwater, Delaware, that he was fired upon twice in Cuban waters on the 4th instant, by a Spanish gunboat which flew 110 colors until the first shot was fired. The steamer was sighted fol lowing the schooner. No atten tion was paid to her at first, but at last it wras noticed she was signalling the schooner to stop. Directly after the signal was ob. served, before the captain made up his mind what course to pur sue, the first shot was fired, com ing uncomfortably to the schoon ers mainmast. The captain gave orders to haul in sail aud hoist the Amers ican flag. This was done and while the flag was flying the second shot came, passing so close that one of the men says he felt the wind of the ball. A boat was lowered from the gun boat and four Spanish marines under command of a Lieutenant in the Spanish navy came aboard fully armed but no search was made except to ex amine clearance papers. The schooner was evidently taken to be a filisbustering craft but the captain says there was nothing in her appearance to justify the belief, and besides this the vessel is well known in West Indian waters. Capt. Quick tried to get the name of the gun boat but failed to do so. Swam Half a Mile Handcuffed. Martin Sullivan, a white sailor on the cruiser Minneapolis, now at the Norfolk Navy Yard, was ironed Saturday night for deser tion. He escaped from his cell last night and while handcuffed leaped overboard aud swam across the river to Berkley, half a mile away. He hid under a raft while the cruiser swept the water with her search lights. When they were turned off he made his way to Berkley, where some negroes filed his handcuffs off. He then exchanged his uniform for citizen's clothes and engaged to work his passage to New York on a barge. When a launch from the yard passed the barge he hid in a boiler but was subsequently captured. new in this branch of FUSION FOR NEXT YEAR. DECIDED UPON BY REPUBLICANS AND POPULISTS. The following news comes to us from Raleigh: It is a long time until the next election, but nevertheless the Republicans and Populists have practically arranged their af fairs, that is, the basis of fusion of those parties in 189G. This news conies straight. Of course there is a division of the offices. W. A. Guthrie, Populist, is to be the nominee for Governor, and Jeter Pritchard, Republican, is to dc re-elected to the Senate. These are the keynotes. There is to be an equal division of all the other State offices and also of the electoral ticket. As to the latter the Populists will take six or five as mav be decided. Here is the band which the Democrats will have to beat. Two Su preme court iudges are also to be elected. Montiromerv will be re-nominated, and a Republican, most probably D. L. Russell. j j will be nominated to succeed A. C. Avery. Dr. Mott has had an interview with Guthrie and is said to have left satisfied. Whether he is to get the collectorship of the Wes tern district of whether his son, Marshal Mott, is to be nominated for Attorney General, or wheth er some other bonus is promised him, is not yet definitely known. ti. L,. (jrant, of Cjoldsboro. is to be made Secretary of the United States Senate. It there were to be a decision now as to the exact personnel of the complete ticket there would be a scramble, and this both the Republicans and the Populists want to avoid, so that matter will be kept in the background until next summer. Meanwhile the men who are to be put on will be quietly selected. There will be, it is positively asserted, two conventions, one of each party, just as was the case last vear. The silver mirstion will cut quite a figure and the belief is that the Kepubhcau conven tion will straddle it 111 aaroit way Five Girls at a Birth. A dispatch from Charlotte- town, Prince Edward Island, says Mrs. Alexander Campbell, Montague, gave birth to five daughters on Sunday. Her hus band is a tailor, in his 84th year. A YOUTHFUL PARRICIDE. A -SEVENTEEN-YEAR. 01. r ROY IN PASQUOTANK COUNTY SHOOTS HIS FATHER. ScvenUen-ycar-old U-c Saw ycr, of Rosedale. Pasquotank county, N. C, was arrested in Norfolk, last week and carried back to K. City upon the charge ot parricide. He gives an ac count of the killing of his father as follows: "Father (Geo. Savyer)gave me a kicking Sunday because I did'nt get up early enough to cut wood to cook breakfast with. When I went out to cut the wool father gave me the kicking, whereupon I struck him with the axe I was cutting wood with, which rnt n gash in his right breast, which, however, was very slight. Path- : ran into the house after the gun and I ran for a nearby neighbors house, and while there one of his sisters came to borrow a gun cap from the neigh bor in whose house I had taken refuge. She told me that father was coming over to kill me, aud n a lew minutes after she re turned home with the can I saw father come out ol the front loor with a gun in his hands. I gathered up the neighbor's gun, tor 1 could not escape, aud when ie was in a distance of twentv teps I fired, the load taking f ectinhis groin Then think ing I would also be shot. I th rrw down the gun and ran, not know- ng that I had killed father until arrested. I am willing tn rrtnm without requisition papers, for I am not afraid now." Young Sawyer is stronir. 10- bust, well dressed and fenUel looking. He also claims that his father often treated him harshly, and that recently had been tak ing out spite against him for buying a pair of shoes without his consent aud had been whip ping and cuffing him daily until tue latal ending. "I'aust thou minister to a mind eased?" asks Macbeth. Certainly, niv me condition 01 the mmd de pends largely, if not solely, on the con dition of the stomach, liver, and bow - cis, tor an o! which complaints Ayer's rills are "the soverHirncst iliim.- mi earth." A Colonizing Scheme. A scheme of great magnitude looking to the colonization of 5,000 families, or about 30,000 people from Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois.Ncbraska aud other Wes tern States to settle in Georgia is said to be about consummated, and sometime in September, the movement of these people, it is expected, will be begun to their new homes. The land selected for the new colony is in Irwine aud Wilcox counties of "the Umpire .State of the .South." The stockholders comprising the colonizing com pany are 7,000 in number, the majority of whom arc well known citizens of Georgia, aud many of them are to settle in the colony themselves. The people who will settle in the new colony include farmers, fruit growers, artisans aud oth ers, and in time it is contempla ted to build a town with school houses, churches and factories. The land selected is among the most productive in the Southern country, and the projectors have great hope in the success of their scheme. Nervous debility is a common com plaint, especially among women. The best medical treatment for this disor der is a persistent course of Ayer's Sar saparilla to cleanse and invigorate the blood. This being accomplished, na ture will do the rest. Changing Names. The State printers in publish- ing the lists of magistrates changed the names in 269 cases and added 85 names not shown on the certified list. The terms ot office of magistrates have been changed in 89 cases. Six names on the certified list have been dropped by the State printers. If all these 449 changes were errors the State printers are very in competent; if the changes were intentional the State printers acted unlawfully. How is it? Kinston Free Press.
