A special from Washington says: "General Joseph Wheeler, like Fitz Lee, was made Briga dier General under the army re organization act. The position will continue until 190 1, and in General Wheeler's case would generally be considered a soft snap. The doughty little warrior, however, is made of different material, and is not content to be a tin soldier. Friday night he called on President McKiuley and said: "Mr. President, I want to be assigned to duty in the Philippines.' The president responded that he would be glad to do all in his power for the General. "But," said he, "you are too old, General, to go into such hard service." "Well, Mi. President," replied General Wheeler, "if I cannot go into active service I will re sign. I am unwilling to be hold ing a commission in the army with nothing to do but loaf about Washington. If I cannot be in seivice I do not want the commission." Little, neglected scratches and wounds frequently result in blood poiso iiug.

Mouth Open For 18 Years. Doctor Geoige Crile has just performed a curious operation on Edward Klotz, of Amish, near Cleveland, Ohio. When three years old Klotz was burned se verely about the face and neck. The wound was bound with bandages, and when the wrap ping-, were taken off it was found that the chin and breast had grown together. The chin being pulled down in that man ner caused Klotz s mouth to re main open all the time, and for eighteen years it has remained that way. The skin was taken off the young man's breast, neck and chin by Dr. Crile and the flesh was laid bare. The blood vessels, nerves and muscles of the neck were exposed and the chin was cut away Irom the chest. The operation was a success. -but the patient will not be able to close his mouth en tirely, as the jawbone has be come deformed.

The current was turned on at 9:17 a. in. at eight een hundred volts, and he was pronounced dead at 9:18. A second shock was given lor ten seconds. Just before the current was turned on Braun raised his hand and said: -Well, my time has nearly a me, 'tis a pity a man must die this way. It was my own fault.

TOOK THEM TO WOODS. The American Boat Was Be calmed and its Occupants Easy to Capture. Manila, May 31.-6:10 p. m. Details regarding the capture by Fillipinos of two officers of the United States hosnital shin Re lief yesterday, have just been obtained. The relief lies in the harbor in front of this city. Third officer Fred Heppy and Assistant Engineer Charles Blandford rigged a sail on one of the ship's boats and went sail ing along the shore, on the south, opposite the insurgent lines. The boat became becalmed near the shore, and some native canoes with Filipinos on board put out and captured the two men, who were unarmed, and also took possession of the boat. The United States turret ship Monadnock quickly sent a boat with a landing party ashore un der cover of her guns, and shelN ed the shore briskly. The na. tives, however, rushed the pris oners into the woods before the Monadnock's boat reached land. Persons on board several other ships saw the affair through glasses, but were unable to pre vent the capture f Messrs Hep py and Blandford.

Entire Family Lose Their Lives Through a Fathet's Carelessness. Savannah Ga., May 28. Mail advices from Hardeeville, S. C, says: About three miles from this village, on the Oestreicher farm, on Tuesday night May 23, oc curred a terrible tragedy. A two story frame building on the farm was occupied by Jacb Sol omons, his wife ami seven child ren, the oldest aged sixteen years and the youngest au , in fant of oce vear. On Wednesday some one passing saw that the house was gone, and on ap proaching to investigate, found that every vestige of it was burned, and the bodies of the nine occupants, or rather the charred trunks of nine human bodies, were lying in the ashes. J. D. Bridge, editor aud proprietor of the Democrat, Lancaster, N- H., says : "I would not be without One Minute Cough Cure for my boy, when troubled with a cough or cold. It is the best remedy for croup I ever used". Griggs & son. Industrial Colony of Negroes. Within a few months Long Island is to have and industrial colony made up of negroes from the South. It will be a municip ality in itself, conducted accord ing to its own rules, and will start its existence with a popu1 lation of 1,000, all negroes. No white person will, be permitted to acquire property for dwelling purposes within its limits, but the factories which will lurnish the industrial life of the town will be owned by whites Lynch law is the determinating cause of this colony, the colonists be ing from Georgia, North Caros liua aud South Carolina; and should this experiment prove a success, other Northern settle ment for Southern negroes may follow. The promoters say that such is the feeling on the part of the better element of negroes in the South regarding recent lynchings that 100,000 colored families would gladly come North if employment could be guaranteed. What financial in terests are back of the project is a matter of secrecy at present Rutus L. Perry, of Brooklyn, represents the active manage ment. Perry is a young colored lawyer and a Democratic polit ician of some prominence. If you have piles, CURE them.

Worthless negroes on Sulli van's Island have recently caused much excitement by attacking United States soldiers without any apparent cause. On Sunday night the negroes fired at a lone sentry on Fort Capron, the morter battery, and on Sun day night they assaulted private Owens while he was talking his beat in front of headquar ters and shot him in the nana They also took his sword and baronet and slashed his cap ana coat. The entire garrison was aroused and searching parties scoured the island in vain for the desperadoes. Would not Suffer So Again for Fifty Times Its Price. I awoke last night with severe pains in my stomach. I never felt so badly in all ray life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. 1 went to Miller & McCurdy's drug store and the recommended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like magic nd one dose fixed me all right. It certaiuly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble. I shall not be without it in my home hereafter, for I should not care to endure the sufferings of last night again lor fifty times its price. G. H. Wilson, Livery Burgettstown, Washington Co., Pa.

We were much interested in a short article in the April num ber of Wake Forest Studeut. It was sent by Geo. Anderson Foote, son of the late Dr. George A. Foote, of Warrenton, an hon ored and highly reputable phy sician lately deceased He first gives an extract from Appleton's Cyclopedia of Biography(wrong ly printed "Biology"), of the hanging of that very gallant and meritorious officer. Captain John Young Beall, a native of Virgin ia and born in 1835 and hanged 4th ot February, 1865, as a spy, which was most infamous, most infernal. He was regularly com missioned and was acting um der orders. It was one of the many disgraceful acts of the Goths and Vandales in their war upon the South and literally without any reasonable or iust cause. A sketch was found among Dr. Foote's papers, who was a surgeon in the Confeder ate army and was imprisoned in Fort Columbus, New York har bor. Dr. Foote's posthumous paper is both interesting and in forming. lie tells of the efforts made to save Captain Beall 's life, by Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts, and others, but in vain. Dr. Foote's cell in which he was confined adjoin ing Captain Beall's. Beall and John Wilkes Booth had been room-mates at college and were very dear friends. Booth tried every way to secure Beall's re lease from prison, but in vain. An effort to secure his escape was made, in which Dr. Foote was to be a party. In fact two plans came to naught. The interesting point, really of historic interest, is to follow. Dr. Foote's private memorandum gives a statement that will sur prise many, as it did us. The common idea is that President Lincoln was murdered by John Wilkes Booth because he was the head of the Northern States and responsible for the war up on the South. In other words that Booth being in intense sympathy with the South, and and being something, draft, had assassinated the President on account of his couise in the war. Alter the plans failed Dr. Foote says Booth hurried to Washing ton and on his knees implored President Lincoln and Secretary Seward to pardon or at least respite Beall. Lincoln promised to. respite, but that night order ed his execution. Dr. Foote says: "This order was executed and Beall was hanged within thirty yards of my window, inside Fort Columbus, and not at Johnson's Island, as has been frequently reported. a Booth, for what he termed the perfidy of President Lincoln m . . . . 1 Tested and Tried For 25 Years Would you feel perfectly safe to put all your money in a new bank?

He did not intend to shoot Lincoln in the theatre, but the, contemplat ed opportunity did not offer it self elsewhere. "But for the fact that Booth's spur caught in the curtam that fatal night he would have es caped, at least for a time. The war had nothing to do with the assassination ot the President; it was due simply and solely to revenge, intensified bv Booth's love and admiration fc r his friend. "Booth went to New York the the morning of Beall's execut ion, and being so grievously disappointed at what had oc curred, he became measurably an insane man. I had not the least idea of Booth's plan to assassinate the President. This plan was known only to oue man, and to him Booth revealed it only an hour before the ass assination. The man to whom he thus confided li s purpose begged him not to carry it out, and finding that Booth was not to be turned from his revenge, left the city before the horrid tragedy occurred." We were very intimate with Dr. Foote for many years. He was our family physician, and most attentive, sympathetic and skillful. We always thought him truthful, honorable and sincere We at least believe his statement weat reservation. T B. .rs tlw 8i mature " of The Kind You Hae Always Bought s Six Tornadoes Since Friday.

ABRAHAM, Elizabeth City, N. C. JJ CERVERA. MAT VISIT US AGAIN, Spain Wants to Rebury the Bodies of Her Dead Sailors. Admiral Cervera may revisit us fc-.hortly on a peaceful errand. According to a letter from a Spanish Lieutenant now in Cadiz to a citizen of Portsmouth N II., printed in the Boston Globe, it is the intention of the Spanish l ,overnment to ask permission ol the government at Washington to lemove the bodies of the sailors of Cervera s fleet interred at the Navy-yard lo Spain for rcburial. Tnc idea was inaugurate. Che ktler s''s l,y Aduiiral rvera bimseH aud the subject will soon be brought to the attention of the President for his action. A part of the letter, written in good English, says '1 shall request that I be sent ti the United States with oui honored Admiral Cervera, who wa.? .so kindly received in youi country a year ago while w were iu distress, and hope to greet you again, evet mindful of your many happy regards." It will be taken from this part of the letter that Cervera himself will come, and, or course, it can be considered thai the only proper sort ot a vessel to bring the distinguished officer here will be a warship. There are more than thirty of the sailors of the Santiago fleet buried on the the island, and it is said that it was the wish of most of them to be taken to their native land for a final rest ing place. It is believed that thert will be no objiction on the part of this government to the removal of tho bodies of the sailors to Spain. - Hi TO H. I -A..
