XT; Seated Himself On a Girder Thinking He Was Out of the Way, tut the Locomotive Struck Him. While endeavoring to escape from an approaching train on the Norfolk and Western road at South Branch, fifteen miles east of Suffolk, Va., Sam Spivey, white, of Sunshury. N. C, was thrown from the bridge and al most instantly killed Saturday last. His head stiu;k some of the bridge timbers with a sicks cuing thud, and. Spivey sank. When the body c , , .- 1 was lisneu irotn 1 the river, which is about twenty feet deep at that point it wns lifeless. The unfortunate man saw the freight train coming but thought he had plenty of time to get out oi tiie way. The mistake was fatal. The passing eugine struck Spivey with sufficient force to kuockhim from the bridge, and death was caused by a collision with the timbers below. Spivey s body was seat via the Suffolk 6c Carolina road to his home at Salisbury , N. C. The dead man was apparently about 3 5 years of age. Sees Only in Ths Dark. (From the Washington Star.) "I know a boy who has a pecu liar defect in his eyesight," said A. C. Lawrence, of Rappahan nock county, Va. "His name is Kddie Howe, and the story can be substantiated by almost every citizen of my county. From birth the boy was supposed to be jKvietio llv blind, a:id he w?.s nve or six years old before the 'ii sco very was made that, while he could not in tlie daylight, everything beins blurred, he could see well at nig! When the boy was five or six years old his father bought a pair of red top boots for him, and took them into his son's room in the dark, expecting to leave them and have the boy surprised when he felt them, but Eddie said, "Oh, father, what pretty boots and copper toes, too." As the lather could not see the boots, it was so dark, lie began to investigate and found that the boy could see. Tlie next morning the lad was blind agaiu, and since then a irreat manv occulists have been consulted. None qt them has been able to cure the defect or even to determine what caused the peculiar condition. Joke on The Minister. An exchange relates the fol lowing joke on a Bedford clergy man wdio was anxious to intro duce some new hymn books into 1 TT 1 5 .1 iiic ciiurcn. ne nau urrangeu with the clerk that the latter was to give out the notice im mediately after the sermon. The clerk, however, had a notice of his own to give out with refs erence to the baptism of infants. Accordingly at the end of the sermon he arose and announced: "All those who have children whom they wish baptized arc -. 1 1.1.,.:. .. ... -. . retjuesteu 10 senu men iiuics iu tlie clerk " The minister, who was very dear, assuming that the clerk was giving out the hymn oook notice, immediately rose and said: "And I should like to say for the beuefU ot those who haven't any that they may be obtained in the vestry any day from three to lour o'clock; the ordinary little ones at one dollar each ind special ones with red backs at one dollar and cents " lour The monument to the memory of Hooper and Pcnu, the Nor.h Carolina signers of the Declara tion of Independence has been completed at the battle-ground nf Guilford Courthouse.

A Mob cf Negroes with Knives Run Riot Through the Streets, Militia Called Out. An incendiary speech made at Goldsboro, N. C, by Frank Ba ker, of Dudley, a colored Repub lican, caused a clash between white and colored citizens Monv day evening. A mob of over 150 negroes, armed with knives, pistols and clubs, marched through the city and defied the la w. The sheriff and city authori ties finding themselves uuable,to cope with the mob called upon the Goldsboro Rifles for assist ance, which was promptly ren dered, and which had the effect of quelling the disturbance, which for a time looked like a riot was eminent. 1 1 tae ndr :s Kiiiiu out anu luniig ,-,, ,rn,,,ic rr ni a i"n no-! siitn ulatinjj and color-food, and the best remedy and stimulant is Hall's Hair Reuewer. Song of a Swelled Head. (New York World.) Sing a song of swelled head, a fellow full of gin, coming home at 4 a. m., his wife won't let him in. His feet are lull cf tangle-foot, his head is full of wheels; the keyhole runs around the knob, he a funny feeling feels. He puts his feet upon the porch, his head upon the ground, and all the time within his 'mug" the wheels are going round. He thinks that he is sober and every one is tight, he thinks he is in the bed room instead of out all night. He thinks the moon's a dollar and will buy a dozen drinks, and various other minor thoughts he thinks and thinks and thinks. But when the morning cometh and it cometh soon at that, he looks around and murmurs "Great snakes! where am I at?" The only permanent cure for chronic catarrh is to thoroughly expel the pois on from the system by the laithful and persistent use of Ayer's Ssrsaparilla. This wonderful remedy proves success ful when all oilier treatment has failed to relieve thn sufferer. -o o Startled by a Wiid Man. v A wild man who Jias been roaming the woods around Bridgetown, N. j.. for several weeks, was again seen on the road wesrof the city a few days no-o. He came out of the woods and ran whooping and hallow incr after a wagon in which were two gentlemen. Thinking he was a person needing something from them, the men stopped and waited for him to come up, but just before he reached them he suddenly wheeled and fled into the woods. The gentlemen said he had a most singular appear, ance and was in tatters. The supposition is that the man is an escaped lunatic. He has ter rorized several people hereabouts in the last few weeks. Robberies are getting to be frequent at Kittrells, N. C, and the town is said to be growing a pretty crop of gallows fruit. suffiBtion B 3 Out-iocr life and Scott's Ein-alKcn of-Cod-liver Oil with Hypophospbites have cured thousands cf case of consump tion in the early stages.

SCOTT & BOWNE, New York. Con IT IS M'KINLEY. RETURNS ARE INCOMPLETE BUT POINT .THE ELECTION OF M'KINLEY. 276 Vptes This is the Claim Hade by the Republicans and There is Small Doubts but That the Gentleman From Ohio is President-EIect. The returns from the entire country, although incomplete, m some States, are of a nature to insure the election oi Mc Khiley. A sufficient number of States has declared for the Republican Party to make certain 276 votes iu the Electoral College for its leader. The States whose, votes are sure for him are as follows: Electoral Votes: California, 9; Connecticut, 6; Delaware, 3; Illinois, 24; In diana, 15; Iowa, 13; Maine, 6; Maryland, 8; Massachusetts, 15' Michigan, 14; Minnesota, 9; New Hampshire, 4; New Jersey, 10; New York, 36; North Dakota, 3; Ohio, 23; Oregon, 4; Penn sylvania, 32; Rhode Island, 4; South Dakota, 4; Vermont, 4; West Virginia, 6; Wisconsin, 12; Kentucky, 13; total, 276. States for Bryan are: Alabama, 1 1 ; Arkansas, 8; Colorado 4; Florida, 4; Georgia, 13; Idaho, 3; Kansas, 10; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 9; Missouri, 17; Montana, 3; Nebraska, 3; Nevada. 3; North Carolina, 11; South Carolina, 9; Tennessee, 12; Texas, 15; Utah.. 3- Virginia, 12; Washington, 4; Wyoming. 4; total, 170. The returns show some interesting features and in some respects have been a surprise to the leaders of both political parties. The New England States have as was expected, given heavy pluralities for McKinley without exception. The Re publican ticket was successful in Massachusetts beyond what vas claimed for it by the most enthusiastic prophet of Repub lican success. New York and Pennsylvania vie with each other for the largest plurality and the figures at hand do not indicate which one of them has surpassed the other. Each State has given the Republican candidate between 275,000 and 280,000 majority. To these Illinois is a good third for plurality to the winning candidate. If the percentage of gain over the Presidential election of 1892, that has so far been shown, continue to the end, it will give a plurality of not far from 175,000. United States Senate will probably stand just as it does now on the question that dominated the campaign: The Fifty-fifth Congress will be Republican by about the ame plurality as the Fifty-fourth Congress. The free silver siement will possibly be strengthened from the West. RETURNS FROM THE STATE. The lastest returns received as to the result of the election in North Carolina areas follows: The ::ryan electoral ticket is certainly elected. The majority will not be less than 12,000. It may be twice as much. The Populists have elected Congressmen in the First, Third, Fou rui, Sixth and Seventh dis- trict. The Democrats have'eer. tainly elected White in the Sees ond. The result in the Eighth and Ninth are in doubt, with rather the best chance for Linncy J and Pearson. The contest lor Uoveruor is not certain. It may take the official count to decide. Russell seems to be in the lead. Neither party will have a ma jority iu the Legislature, though the Republicans will bejdanger ously near controlling the House of Rcpresetatives if the counties uot yet heard from give large Republican gains. V. S. Lusk, of Warren,' aud Spencer Blackburn, of Ashe, all gold-bug Republicans, expect to be can didates for speaker, and will rely upon Populist support. The Populists can name the nvr United States Senator if they did uot pledge themselves to vote for a gold-bug as the price of their election. Euough to elect a silver man refused to say on the stump who was their reference for United States Senator.

No matter how long the account may have run, the moment the creditor sends a bill, the ire of the person owing the same ex plodes. How silly this is. Why, if business men did not send out statements, and even in many cases demand prompt settlements the business of this world would soon go to the bow wows.

To properly fill its office and functions, t is important tnat the blood be pure. When it is in such a condition, the body is almost certain to be healthy. A complaint at this time is catarrh in some of its various forms. A sligfct cold develops the disease in the head. Droppiugs of corruption passing into the lungs bring on consumption. The only way to cure this disease is to purify the blood. The most obstinate cases of catarrh yield to the medicinal powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla as if by magic, simply because it reaches the seat of the disease, and by purifying and vital izing the blood, removes the cause. Not only does Hood s sarsaparilla do tnis but it gives renewed vigor to the whole system, making it possible for good health to reign supreme. hLi ; u-ky coff::;-:. Rev.

It was wholly an experiment, but the coffee bushes came up, grew with wonderful rapidity and put forth pods which were filled with the aromatic beans. When he came to harvestliis crop, he found that his 160 beans had yielded him five pecks of coffee, more than enough to supply his whole family for the entire vear. What we Seldom See.

A most distressing accident occurred last Friday at Hobgood, a l.ttle town at the crossing of the Scotland Neck and Kiuston and the Norfolk and Carolina railroads. The son of Dr. K. Leggett was playing alone iu a pile of cottonseed, and had been digging a hole, which he called a well. He was missing, for a time, and when the family searched they iound that he had fallen iut the well he had made in the cottonseed, and beeti smothered. It's an old saying that "The pi oof of the pudding is in the eating of it. And it is because people have taken Sim mons Liver Regulator that they know it to be a most excellent medicine and especially for the spring and fall when there is so much maaria iu the air. Mr. W.

The men who did the shooting with two ol the witnesses are in custody waiting the result. The doctors say that the wounded man will die. All are negroes.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease and in order to cure it you must take inter nal remedies. Hall s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blocd and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best ohvsicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined witn the best blood puriners acting directly on the mucous surfaces The nerfect combination ot the two in crredients is what produces such won derful results in curing Catarrh.

Awful Host ruction Cnusl by a Cyclone. DAMAGE DONE IN FIVE STATES: I Houses, Bariis and Churches Crushed by the Fury of The Gals. A cyclone swept over a stretch of country in Oklahoma a few days ago, devastating a district several miles long aud probably a hundred yards wide. The storm swept down from the west with frightful iorcc, and almost with out warning. Suddenly it be came dark, and a seething mass of inky clouds swept over the country. Then the wind rose as it by magic, and a funnel-shape ! cloud swept down upon the earth, i In an instant trees were whirling in the air, and the devastation began. A few miles east of Guthrie, Okla., the farm house ot William Toby was destroyed, and Toby was probably fatally injured. The other members of his iaxni- y escaped. Half a mile further north the Mitcheli postoffice and store was lifted bodily into the air, carried a hundred yards, and dashed to the earth. The build ing was smashed into splinters, and Postmaster M. T. Mullin aud his wife were killed. They died clasped in each other'sarms. 1 wo sticks wers driven through Mr. Mullin's skull, but there was not a scratch on the body of lis wife. The farm house of Abner Jones was also wrecked, and many smaller buildings were destroy ed, trees uprooted and crops ruined. At Weweka, I. T., the cyclone caused frightful havoc. Gover nor Brown's store was lifted ligh in the air and fell to the ground a mass of ruins. A new church was lifted from its founv datious and carried for fullv wenty yards before it was de molished. The list of dead is not known, but it is feared that here are many victims aud a number seriously injured. At Mine No. 21, near Krebs, ive people were killed. One woman was in her home when he fatal cloud swept upon it. Iu a second the roof crashed through the upper floors and it seemed as if only a miracle allowed the woman to escape to the street. She reached it safely, however, with her year-old babe in her arms, and was fleeing down the street. The wind lifted a barn from its foundations and a second later mother and child lay dead in the ruins. Iu Lincoln county Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin were found dead in the ruins of their home, aud five others will die of their injuries. The storm also reached Louis-! iana. An immense brick gin on the Mount plantation was prac tically destroyed. Twelve cabins ou Locust Land were completely demolished, and one colored wo man was instantly killed and several were blown into the lake. The next place readied by the storm was Johnson's Bend, on Lake St. Joseph. Several per sons were badly cut aud bruised, but no lives were lost. Tele. graph and telephone wires are down. At Madison, Miss., a portion of the rcof of Fuller's Opera House was blown off and carried across the street. The "Eddie Foy" company was playing in the house, and one of the actress es was hit in the face by a fall ing brick. At New Orleans hundreds of buildings were damaged. Here the property loss is estimated at $ 100,000. No lives were lost Neuralgia is the prayer of the nerves for pure blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood Purifier and nerve builder. .
