The Mother Also Badly Burned Her Recovery Very Doubtful. A horrible accident occurred in Concord, N. C, Saturday af ternoon about 3 o'clock. The six-year old twin daughi ters of Mrs, J. W. Bernhardt were playing in the kitchen when they proposed to light a fire. One of the little girls got the oil can and began pouring oil on the fuel. Her sister struck a match, and as she did so there was an explosion. The unfortunate little srirl who held the oil can was im mediately wrapped in a sheet of flames. Before her mother could render her any aid nearly all her clothing had been burned off and both her eyes were literally burned out. Mrs. Bernhardt was unable to extinguish the flames and was badly burned herself. A negro woman then attempted to assist the child and she too was burn ed. A man then came in, and wrapping a cover about the child, succeeded in smothering the flames that enveloped her. The unfortunate child lived for three hours and was con-. scions about an hour and a half, suffering untold agony. She died about 6 o'clock. The body- was terribly burned, and at every touch the skin would peel off the little one. Mrs. Bernhardt was so badly burned that she had to go to bed and she does not know yet of her little daughter's death, as it is feared that she could not sur vive the shock. HENDERSOn, N. C, June 3, 1897. I suffered for several years with female complaint, and took all kinds of medicine without relief. I finally thought I would try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and after taking a few bottles I found great relief. I have also used Hood's Pills and believe there are noue to compare with them. Since taking this medicine I am able to sleep well, and am reliev ed of that tired feeling. Annie B. Hawkins. Starving With $256,000. Miss Sarah Cecil, the wealthy Kentucky heiress who was ads judged insane and incarcerated at the East Kentucky Lunatic Asylum last Fall and later allow ed to go to a private sanitarium, is starving herself at the Phoenix Hotel, Lexington. Dr. Clarke, her physician, and Dr. Kinnax tried to persuade her to break her fast, but she would not .hear them. She has the best rooms in the hotel and she savs her conduct is because her relatives will not turn over certain papers She is worth over $250,000 and is a great traveler.

Miss Addie Wright, is the young woman who caused a good deal of excitement at Benton Harbor, Mich., during the build ing ot the St. Joseph Valley Railroad. She was then in charge of the financial matters of an aed friend. Tohn Thomas, wha 0 . j - ?j had become too infirm to man-j age his own affairs. Tne rails road wanted .1 certain strip of property belonging to the "old man, and Miss Wright said the company could not have it, ex cept under certain conditions. This made no difference to the railroad company, and they sent seventy men, who proceeded to lay the tracks where they thought they would do the most good. After they had gone Miss Wright took half a dozen men and tore the track up. Then the owner of the land was notified that the seventy men had. been sent back, with orders to relay the track and keep it there. The construction train was on the scene when Miss Wright ar rived; but she was there in time to take a seat on the track in front of the train, so it would not be possible to go ahead with out the work of removing her or killing her. The men went to work to lay the tracks around her, and one of the heavy irons happened to smash one of her thumbs. She immediately sent a small boy for a revolver, and when it was 111 her hands she told all the workmen to get out. All but the boss retreated in double quick time, but the boss said he would not be put off by a j woman. Then Miss Wrighr then jabbed the business end of the gun into his face and told him to move. He moved. While the railroad men stood in the distance watching her Miss Wright had a fourhorse team brought up,aud in short order fifty feet of the track was gone. The boss of the gang of men hustled off to town, and iu a few minutes paid the price demand ed for the land, also allowed one hundred and fifty dollars for the work Miss Wright had done, and the fun was over.

RAGE TROUBLE flUEY WEST. Negro Mob at Key West Shoots Down A White Man In Cold Blood. RACE WAR IS FEARED. Militia Has Been Ordered Out, But They Cannot Get at Their Guns in the Jail. The city of Key West, Fla., is iu the throes of an impending race war. The assaulting" of a white woman, Mrs. Atwell, by Sylvanus Johnson, a negro on the outskirts of the city, is the cause. One white man, William Gardner, has been killed, and several others on both sides wounded The trouble has been brewing since Colonel C. B. Pendleton arose in court and asked for vols unteers to help lynch Johnson. Several attempts were made to enter the jail, which was guards ed by a mob of infuriated ne groes. All day whites and blacks were arming themselves, until now nearly every man in the city is a walking arsenal. The negroes ffred on Colonel Pendleton's house white he and fifty of his friends were on the inside. The latter returned the fire, and from the appearance of the earth around the house there were several wounded. It is be lieved that two negroes have been killed, but owing to the fact that the negroes are taking their wounded away this res port cannot be verified. TROOPS CANNOT GET ARMS. Serious trouble is looked for. The whites have sworn to av enge the death of William Gard ner, who was killed in cold blood. He was seated on the steps of the Court House about twelve o'clock when several ne' groes approached and told him to move on. He started to go when the crack of three or four rifles rang out and he fell mortally wound ed. He lived only a few hours. The Sheriff asked the Governs Or to order out the militia, which was done, Jaut owing to the fact that the armory is in the same building as the jail, the soldiers were uuable to get their guns, as the negroes would not let them in the building. RETURNED THE RIFLES. The negroes went into the ar mory and secured many rifles and ammunition, but they were returned. Seeing that the miK itia was almost powerless against the mob the Mayor, the county Judge and several others wired the Governor as follows : "Governor W. D. Bloxham, TaK lahassee, Fla.: "A negro accused of assault ing a white woman been arrests ed. Mob tried to break into jail with purpose lynching ne gro. Negroes have organized and now are virtually in charge of the city. Will you request the President to have the United States troops now stationed here report to the Sheriff for duty to protect lives and property The State troops are inadequate." NO WORD FROM WASHINGTON. Governor Bloxham wired the President to have the troops placed at the Sheriff's command, but'as yet no reply has been re ceived. The negroes, after being coaxed by the Sheriff, left the jail, and the local military corns pany put on guard. The streets are thronged with excited people and grave fears are entertained that trouble will occur, as it seems certain that there will be another attempt made to lynch Johnson. It was owing to the fact that Key West is so Isolated and that none of the State troops can be gotten to the city under three days, the request was made for United States troops. Everybody Bays 8.

The last legislature actually provided that a part of each man's estate should be forteited to the ktate by his death, atid it went fuither and made it a mi. demeanor punishable by a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisons ment not exceeding six months, for any peisoti owning property or poll taxes not to pay the same before the first term of the su perior or criminal court conven- ing.in the county each year after the first Monday in September. It does not stop here. If one should fail to pay his or her taxes by the first court and should be indicted and punished as aforesaid at that term, and should fail to pay the taxes uns til another term of the court rolls around, the act makes him or her indictable at each term until he pays it. Probably the last named section strikes a snag in the organic law providing that no man shall be twice vexed or punished lor the same offense, yet the solicitor might reply that the legislature intended to make it a continuing offense for every day's failure. This might as well be known in the State at once. As all taxes are due September ist, and as there is required by the con stitution to be at least one supe rior court in each county bes tween September and Christmas, it seems that all the citizens of the State who don't pay their taxes before Christmas will spend their Christmas in jail. If, therefore, the citizen fails to pay his taxes the State takes his liberty; and if he dies in jail it forfeits (a part of) his property to the State. T. T. Hicks, of Henderson, in News and Obser ver. A REMARKABLE GAG. A remarkable story was told in a Cleveland (O.) court by Nel lie Gilbert, the wife of a promi nent physician of that city. She says that her father-in-law, who does not like her and has tried to have his son divorce her, filled her mouth with wet plast er of paris and allowed the stuff to harden, so that she could not talk. A hammer had to be used to break the plaster in her mouth before it could be removed. She now sues her father-in-law for $20,000 for this assault, and for $30,000 ior endeavoring to alien ate her husband's affections. Another Rail Road for Edenton. The Railroad Commission has been informed that it is proposs ed to make an extension of the Suffolk and Carolina railroad to Edenton. Engineers are now making preliminary surveys from Rylaud station to Edenton, which distance is fourteen miles where the track will run. The estimates will be ready in a tew weeks, and work on the construc tion will likely be commenced in the fall. The extension means much for Edenton and Eastern North Carolina. JohnL. At Work. John L. Sullivan is working like a beaver at Muldoon's Re treat, near White Plains, so that he may make a good showing in his six round bout with Fitz simmons on July 5. Nobody ex pects him to get into the best of trim on such short notice, but the indications are that he will be a be to give the champion a argument for six rounds. "Be regular and punctual in all things" was one of the old maxims, taught long ago. The last i not for gotten, but the first is scarce remember ed, so irregular is the life of most peo ple nowadays. The only corrector of this evil is Simmons Liver Regulator, which keeps the liver active and pre vents the ills of irregular living: Dys pepsia, Biliousness, Constipation, etc. It also cures these troubles.

JUST RETURNED FROM MEXICO. The Farmers In !Mex!co Prosper While Those in America Sell their Crops at or less than cost. (Washington Post.) Mr. Charles D. Lane, the noted California gold miner, who has won national distinction by his aggressive advocacy of free silver coinage, is at the Normandie. He has a tall, commanding figure is plain and blunt of speech, and in his talk uses Western dialect freely. He has lived in Califor nia from his boyhood, his parents having emigrated there from Missouri. His mines are ranked among the richest producers in the United States and are ex clusively gold properties. In talking over the situation with a Post reporter, Mr. Lane said: "It is but a narrow view to look at the jnoney question from the standpoint of personal inters est I have no silver mines, and contend ior equal treatment , of that metal because I think it best for the welfare of the whole peo ple. My opinion is that the sentiment of the country has undergone a great change, and that if the fight were to be wag ed over again the single gold standard could not win. It is impossible for it to bring pros penty. 'The co operation of all the friends of silver means certain victory in 1900. There is but one man to be thought of in con nection with the leadership of the combined forces W. J. Bryan. He is a worthy champion of the cause, and his strength is growing all the time. "I have just come back from a visit to Mexico, and found it in a far more prosperous condit ion than the United States. had hardly crossed the border when I had pointed out a man who had made $80,000 raising wheat. He did not have a vast area in cultivation, but sold his crop for $14.50 per barrel. True he obtained ior it Mexico silver dollars, but that money buys just as much at home as it ever did. If our wheat growers only could do halt as well as that our farmers would not now be com plaining of the hard times. Mex ico is meeting the interest on its public debt promptly; its credit is good, and the national treas ury holds large amounts of gold. "What we want to acquire in the United States is the trade of the world, and the moment we open our mints to the free coinage of silver we will have the silver using countries buying our man ufactured goods, our wheat, and corn, and pork, and all kinds of machinery. Then, with the doubling of the volume of money, money will seek investment, and the poor man will find employ ment. With this policy n force a year we Jwill force the gold standard countries of Europe to follow our example, or else suf fer commercial ruin. If we wait for them to take the initiative silver will remain permanently demonetized, and the shylocksof gold will drive the masses in all countries to pauperism." Baby's Second Summer is the time that tries all the care of the mother and all the skill of maternal management. Baby comfort comes from fat; fat babies have nothing to do but to sleep and grow. If your baby does not seem to prosper, if he does not gain in weight, you must get more fat there.
