Gems of the First Water
Found in the State.

Ploughing.
While
Mews & Observer -j
Mr. I). C. Cunningham, at the
Park Hotel yesterday took from
his pocket a diamond big as a
hen egg, and calmly explained to
interest' friends how the gem
came to be found. "I was offer
ed a few days ago $3,000 for a
third interest," he said, "but
don't want to sell at that price.
Every man I have met who
knows anything about diamonds
is anxious to get an interest in
this stone. I am troincr to see
Prof. Holmes, the State geolos
gist, on this tiip, and the" stone
will probably be carried to New
York in a few days to be tested
by Tiffany." The man talked
like he was from the South Af
rican diamond district. But lie
was from Franklin, Macon coun
ty, North Carolina, and near the
richest gem mine in the United
States, this stone was found.
Diamond finding in North Caro
liua sounds too good to be true.
But Mr. Cunningham is as cer
tain tire stone is a diamond as he
is of any fact in the mortal
world. He had a pocketful of
other gems, flawless amethysts,
perfect garnets, and beautiful
green beryls that are almost
identical with the rare llidde
uite or green diamond. Ail
came from the same locality.
The big stone war. ploughed up
in a field by a boy near the corv
undum veins. The boy got one
dollar and was greatly pleased at
his good luck. If the stone is
genuine diamond it will make
its owner rich, for its value
ranges far in the thousands. But
the skeptics will wait to hear
what Tiffany says.
T :e Bermuda to Fly the Cuban
Cvlors.
The steamship Bermuda, now
under detention in New York
harbor on account of debt to
some of the sailors, will soon
start for Cuba with a cargo of
arms and ammunition and a ship
load of men. The war material
and the crew are all readv and
will be placed aboard the steam
er outside of United States
Waters. After the Bermuda has
passed the three mile limit pre
scribed by law, and will, there-
fore, be outside of the jurisdic
tion of the United States, she
will fly the Cuban Colors astern,
and will be known as Cuba's
first privateer. She will mount
two heavy guns fore and aft.and
will show a bold front to the
average Spanish gunboat now
cruising about in CufJan waters
Who Hobert Is.
As many persons have never
heard of Hobert, the nominee of
the Republican party for the
Vice-Presidency, the following
from the Washington Post may
enlighten bewildered minds:
He is the president of the Pas-
siac Water Company, the Ac-
quackanock Water "Company,
the Patterson Railroad Com
pany's consolidated lines, the
Morris County Railroad and the
People's Gas Company. He is a
director in several national
b'anks.iucluding the First Natio
nal Bank of Patterson and the
Patterson Savings Institution
He is also 011 the directors board
of the New York, Susquehanna
and Western Railway, the Les
high and Hudson River Raik
road, the Barbour Bros. Com
pany, the Barbour Flax Spin
ning Company, the Pioneer Silk
Company, the Edison Electric
Illuminating Company, the
American Cotton Oil Company,
and some forty or more aditional
corporations.
All Right Anyhow.
The skies were never bluer,
And love was never truer,
And dollars never fewer

But what's the use in crying?

DIVED FROM THE
EADS BRIDGE.
DISTANCE FROM THE TOP OF THE
BRIDGE TO THE WATER IS
125 FEET.
Albert J. Baker, aged 19, of St
Louis, Mo., made the first dive
into the Mississippi river ever
taken from the Eads Bridge. He
is a pupil of Prof. Bill Clark, who
has turned out many good divers.
For weeks young Baker has
been fired with an ambition fo
jump off the bridge and has been
almost daily practicing. He was
particularly anxious to jump
head first and not feet first as all
the jumpers before him had
done. This he did Saturday
morning ar.d he did it success
fully, making the first bona-fide
dive ever made from Eads
Bridge.
The distance from the top of
the bridge to the water is 125
feet. Baker struck the water
head first and soon qame up.
He swam about 250 feet to an
awaiting tug and was taken on
board without having been hurt.

There is inorecatarrh in this section
of the country than in all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitution
al disease, and therefore requires con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys
tem. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. - Send for

ATLANTIC SQUADRON PRE
PARED TO LIFT ANCHOR
ON A SHORT NOTICE.
Sent Orders From Washington.
Naval Officers Maintain That the
Activity is Only in Prepara
tion For the Annual
Cruise.
Unless significant signs tail,
the squadron of United States
warships just now stationed in
the harbor of New York will
soon be despatched on an import
taut mission. Those who should
be iu a position to know say that
their destination will be the coast
of Cuba.
The idea that the cruisers were
under orders for Cuba was first
suggested yesterday at a meeting
of the Methodist ministers at No.
150 Fifth Avenue, when it was
declared that the usual Sunday
services were dispensed with be
cause of extra work required to
prepare the boats of the expedi
tion.
The Navy Yard officials pro
fess ignorance about the secret
orders and say that the services
were held as usual.
However, these significant
acts have been noted. During
the last week work on all the
vessels has been doubled, iu re
spouse to a special order received
rom the Secretary of the Navy.
The nature of this order cannot
be ascertained. Nearlv three
mndred additional workmen.
,
11 eluding caulkers.paiuters.ship-
wrights, carpenters and general
laborers, have been busily pre
paring the squadron for active
sea service.
Every boat of the North At
lantic Squadron, except the New
York, which is still iu dry dock,
was taking iu coal yesterday.
The New York can be ready for
sailing within a few days. All
the others are prepared to sail at
a moment's notice.
On the Newark, Montgomery,
Cincinnatti and Indiana, anchor
ed off Staten Island, there was
constant stir and bustle. From
dawn until darkness boats laden
with provisions crowded along
side. Two big barges kept busy
all day piling coal into the four
bunkers. Over the deck swarm -ed
the sailors, in the activity le-.
quired by preparation for a trip,
while the petty officers shouted
orders.
Capt. Farquhar, in command
of the Newark, was pleasantly
diplomatic when The World man
asked what all the bustle was
about.
"I can say that we have as yet
received no orders for Cuba,"
said the captain.
"Have you received orders to
prepare for a trip to Cuba?" was
asked.
"The Admiral knows better
than I do," said Capt. Farquhar.
"As for getting ready, we can
start if necessary at a moment's
notice. Everything is perfect."
"Do you expect to recive or
ders to go to Cuba?"
"That I can't talk about. Only
the Admiral is authorized to
speak on that point," said Capt.
Farquhar.
Other officers admitted that
services were omitted on .board
the ships Sunday, but explained
it by the necessity of making re
pairs so that the ships might be
iu condition to take the naval
militia on their annual cruise
early in July. New York World

THAT PUNCH EOWL
The Biblical Recorder Talks
Right Out in Meeting.
Last week's Biblical Recorder
makes the following comment:
"The selection of a punch bowl
for the State's gilt to the United
States cruiser Raleigh, is entire
ly in keeping with the namby
pamby weak-mindedness that
has characterized the wliole
painful effort. We are now
doubly glai that we held up the
folly of the thing in the begin
ning. We would be ashamed if
aid of ours had gone towards
furnishing a warship of the
United States with the emblem
and instrument of liquor drink-.
ing. It betrays bad taste, worse
judgment and worse sensibili
ties."
LYNCHED BY MOUNTED MEN.
SPEEDY JUSTICE TO AN ALABAMA
NEGRO FOR BRUTAL
MURDER.
Near Hartsell, Morgan county,
Alabama, Friday night, Mary,
the 9year-old daughter of Gwin
Puckett, a welKknown farmer,
while passing from the kitchen
to her mother's room, was seized
by Leon Gar, a negro farm la
borer, and spirited away to the
woods. Her father found her
half an hour later in an u neons
scious condition, having been
brutally assaulted by the negro.
A posse went in search of the
negro, who was caught Sunday
near Danville, Lawrence county,
by the sheriff, and taken to
Moultou. Fear i up- mob violence
the sheriff hid the negro in the
court house. At 2 o'clock Mon
day morning a mounted mob of
fifty masked men rode into
Moulton and compelled the
sheriff to surrender the negro at
the point of guns. Orr was
taken back to the scene of his
crime, strapped to the back of a
horse. After confessing his crime
and being allowed one minute in
which to pray, he was hanged
and then riddled with bullets.
Physicians say the girl will die
from her injuries.

money in the drawer, then back

alley and escaped.
Cure For Hog Cholera.
Every paper in the United
States ought occasionally to keep
the fact before its readers that
burnt corn is a certain, and speedy
cure for hog cholera. The best
way is to make a pile of corn on
the cobs, effectually scortcfi it
and then give the affected hogs
free access to it. This remedy
was discovered by E. E. Docks at
the time his distillery was burnt
in Fulton county, 111., together
with a lot of store corn which
was so much injured as to be un
fit for use and was hauled out
and greedily eaten by the hogs,
several of which were dying
daily. After the second day not
a single hog was lost, and the
disease entirely disappeared. The
remedy has been tried in a num
ber of cases and never failed.

A TERRiBL E ACCIDENT
BRIDGE GIVES WAY
REUSE RIVER.
ON
FOUK 3IEX INJUIIKI.
IIoi-sck Killed and the Es
cape of the Men Was
Miraculous.
Friday evening last just at
dark a most fearful, and what
came near being a fatal accident
occurred on Neuse river, at Bois'
mill, in Wake county. It. M
Perry, with two of his sons and
another gentleman, whose name
could not be learned, were cross
ing the bridge at Bois' in a two
horse wagon, drawn bv two
mules. When about the center
ot the bridge, which is a very
long one, about sixty-feet ot the
structure, gave away precipitat
ing the wagon and team and
men to the river bed thirty feet
below. One of the mules was
instantly killed, the wagon dc
molishcd and while, strange to
say, none of the men were seri
ously hurt, they were all pretty-
badly bruised up. The bridge
did not sink straight down, but
fell up the river, going with such
force as to throw the wagon and
team and men above and out of
reach of the wreck, otherwise all
would have been killed.
A gentleman, who tookalcok
at the ruins, expresses great as
tonishment that anything or any
body connected therewith escaps
ed instant death.
The bridge had not been con
demned and was not considered
unsafe.
A STEP FORWARD.
COTTON MILL TO MAKE HIGH
CLASS GOODS LOCATED IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.
A special dispatch to the Man-.
ufactures' Record reports that a
10,000 spindle mill will be built
at Gaffney, S. C, to spin fine
numbers from 100s to 150s and
to be woyeu into all kinds of
fancy cotton goods. This will
be the first mill built iu the
Southern States to manufacture
such a grade of goods, and it is
regarded as the beginning of a
movement which will result in
the South's taking a prominent
place in the manufacture of the
highest grade of cotton ''goods.
The Dam Burst.
The'banks of Alycon Lake, an
artific;al pond at Mantua Creek,
a pleasure resort iu Gloucester
county, fifteen miles from Cam
den, N. J., gave way one day last
week, flooding the surrounding
country and causing a loss of
about $20,000. The banks were
noticed to be in a dangerous con
dition by two farm laborers a
short time before the break oc
curred. They mounted horses
and gave the alarm" and the
people living on the banks of the
creek fled to places of safety.
The buildings, boats and amuse
ment booths in a pleasure park
on the banks of the lake were
washed away.
