TWIXT FIRE ANDWATER, A Steamboat Burned on Long Island Sound. NUMBER OF LIVES LOST Fire Broke out at 5 o'clock In the Morning and Spread Rapidly. Several persons met death early Saturday morning by drowning or flames in the de. struct ion of the steamboat Nut meg State, of the Bridgepoit Line off Sand's Point, at the mouth of Long Is' and Sound. About 5 o'clock in the morn ing, when off Sand's Point light, Long Island Sound, fire broke out around the smokestack and spread with such rapidity that tne captain was compelled to beach her on Sand's Point, where she burned to the water's edge. When the fire was dis covered all the passengers were aroused, and they rushed from their staterooms half clad. Some of them jumped overboard, clinging to life pie-servers. Twenty five of them got into one of the steamboat's boats, which capsized. They clung to until picked up. The officers ,J A. 11 3 A 1 .1.1 anu crew cuuuoneu ine uiuti nasseners until tne l ltv or ... . - o J Lawrence, the tug William Reed and the yacht Kismet came to the rescue. Four men were penned in the forecastle and could not be extricated. So far as known, the vessel had about sixty passengers. She was laden with hundreds of tons of freight, and in the cargo were thousands of cartridges, which later added their explOf ions to the uproar on the burn ing vessel. According to the story of the captain, the fire started around j the smokestack on the lower deck. How it started the cap-, tain did not attempt to explain, It took only a few minutes for him to find that the fire could not be controlled. He ordered that all passengers be aroused, and headed the boat in toward shore. The scene that followed the awakening of the passengers was one of mad terror. Some few of the passengers took time to diess hastily, while others of them rushed half clad to the deck. On the instant of reach ing the deck a few of the terri tied men aud women, as they saw the flames curling through the deck, tore life preservers loose from their fastenings aud jumped overboard. An early effort was made to lower the steamboat's small boats and life rafts. As the first boat swung overboard, crowded, some man cut the fall and the boat overturned. The capsized passengers fought their way to the boat, to which they clung until rescued by the City of Law rence The boat's rafts were lowered as rapidly as possible after the first misadventure. These were soon filled. Before all the passengers aud crew had been taken to the pilot boat City of Lawrence heard signals of distress sounded by the Nutmeg State's whistle, and headed at once for the burning steamboat. Not long long after the steamboat had reached the scene the tug WIN Ham Reed came to the rescue with the steam yacht Kismet. I wish to express my thanks to the manufacturers of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and diar rhoea Remedy, for having put on the market such a wonderful medicine," says W. W.

The Builders' trial of the bat tleship Kentucky, sister ship of the crack Kearsarge, which be haved so well on her builders' and official trials, will take place in ten days or two weeks. The officials at the shipyard have selected their date and are j working to get the ship out at that time, but the ate will not be announced until it is certain that there will be necessity for making a change. The Kentucky has her main battery of thirteen and eight inch guns almost complete, and she already presents the formich able appearance that her sister ship did when she was taken to sea for the arst time. The ves sel has been colored from red to lead color, and before going out! a coat of white paint will be put on. That the Kentucky will do well on her builders' trial goes without saying and that she will do better than the Kear sarge on her official trial trip her builders and the officers who have been attached to her are confident.

Gause, a highly esteemed lady of Wilmington, N. C, and a daughter of the late S. P. Gause, was drowned Tues' day afternoon at 6 o'clock, at Greenfield mill pond, one and a half miles from Wilmington Miss Gause, with a party of children, had gone for an after noon stroll to the country, and at the time of the terrible acci dent was some distance behind the children, she having retraced her steps to a spot near the bank where she said she had left her purse. Just how tLe accident occurred, will never be known, as the children soon after her d parture, heard a splash in the water, which is at this point about 1 5 feet deep, and were startled to find Miss Gause strug gling between life and death in the water. She was 31 years of age and lived with her sisters-in-law, Mrs. dimming aud Mrs. Alice Young. She has been for some time employed as a sten ographer in one of the leading hardware stores in the city, but was forced to resign a few days ago on account of failing health. She was very popular and the community mourns her loss. Does the I j Baby Thrive tlf not, something must be wrong with its food.

Prompt Action of the Sheriff Prevented Trouble, At tempt to Work Negroes With Whites Started the Trouble. Atlanta, Ga., October 16. Governor Candler received a telephone message late to-night fr in the sheriff of Pike county at Barnesville, advising him that the negro population of the town, in an attempt to avenge the whipping of three of their number last night by whites, were gathering and threatening to burn the place. Governor Candler at once ordered out the Barnesville Blues at Barnesville and the Capital City Guards of Atlanta. The Blues reported to the sheriff and were at once placed on guard around the prin cipal buildings. The Capital City Guards, fifty men, assembled at their armory in Atlanta at 11:30 and a few minutes liter a special train was in readiness for them. Governor Candler decided however, to await farther ad vices from Barnesville before ordering the train to leave. The trouble dates back one week, when the lady operators in the Oxford Knitting Mills struck because several negroes were given employment by the management. It was admitted Saturday that the mill could not be run without the white help aud the negroes were consquent ly discharged. The negroes mingled with their race and in dulged in considerable talking. Saturday night three or" the neg roes who had been discussing the affair freely were taken out by a crowd of white men and soundly whipped. This perfor mance was repeated again last night and the negroes in retali ation threatened to burn the town. The prompt action of the sheriff however, prevented any trouble and at midnight all was quiet with the milita guarding the town. NO-HED-AKE Tobiets are guaran teed. No cure no pay. 7doses for 10 cents. Cures all headaches. Stole $2,000. While Mr. Elisha Uradshaw, of Colerine was down in the town at one of the stores and Mrs. Bradshaw and child were at church, some one broke into their dwelling and carried off a trunk containing mortgages, notes, a watch, jewelry, and be tween 51,500 and $2,000 in cash. The trunk, watch, mortgage, etc, were found however near the house but the money was missing. It is the impression of many that the burglary was com mitted by some one familiar with the interior of the house as the feion entered iu a window, step ped by or over a trunk, passed two or three more and picking up Mr. Bradshaw 's private one off with it. It is probable that the guilty parties will be caught. Windsor Ledger. Before yon leave for the sea shore be sure and take NO-HED-AKE Tablets with you. No cure no pay. 7 doses for 10 cents. The first meeting of the Wake Forest Historical Society was held last week. Mr. Walter White, of Edenton, read a paper on the famous Edenton tea party.

Quite a number of coins and old papers were presented to the society by Mr. T. A. Grady, of Kinston. CASTORIA. Bear. tha Tl Kind You Haw Always Bought Signature of THREATENED HER LIFE And Shot at the House to Which She Had Fled For Kefugfe. W. T. Adams, ex-President of the Farmers' Alliance and lorm er Democratic representative from Granville county, has been put iu jail at Oxford, N. C , for threatening the life of his wile; also for threatening to burning t!ie property and shooting at the house of Dr. Cozart, to which his wife had fled for protection. MADE A TRADE OF WIVES. Each Liked the Other's Spouse Better Than His Own. Jacob Latchaw, foreman in Balliet's ore bed, near Hoffmans ville, Lehigh county, Fa., and William Heberley, a laborer in the same mine, have created a stir among their neighbors by swapping wives. Heberley's wife is a rather good looking woman of 28, and for some mouths past foreman Latch aw had been her ardent admirer. Heberly, on the other hand, be came infatuated with the charms of Latchaw's wife, who, while not as handsome as his own bet ter half, is just the kind of woaian that sizes up to Heber ley's tastes. Latchaw and Heberley have, it is alleged, been frequent call ers upon each others wives, but it was not until recently! that the husbands made the discov ery. Saturday the two men met, aud each accused the other of being too familiar with his wife "See here, Heberley," said Latchaw, "I'll tell you what we'll do, let's swap wives." "Agreed," answered Heber ley, and r'ght then and there the bargain was made. The women were consulted and the proposition was agreed to. Latchaw is the father of seven children, and Heberley, who had only one child, objec ted to having a whole family unloaded on him. There was a hitch in the bargain, but the obstacle was finally surmounted by Heberley taking one of Lat chaw's offspring, he transferring his own child to the Latchaw family. The husbands at once moved their effects to their new homes. At night a calathumpiau band serenaded both parties. Heber ley, however, objected to being thus honored, and fired several shots at the serenaders, who scattered. Spain's Greatest Need. Mr. R. P.

Pope was converted. He was owner of a Government dis tillery, and immediately after his conversion he went to the distillery and tore the stills from the furnace and destroyed what beer or mash there was in the tubs. What whiskey was on hand was in the Government warehouse, and he had no right to trouble that without stamping it. He will have to account to the Government for the beer as though he had converted it in to whiskey, and this will cost him about $22. All headaches are cured by NO HED-AKE Tablets. Some men have such little dignity that they never add any thing to their height by trying to stand on it. THE Everybody in making a purchase has one overruling desire, an i that is to give one's self a happy surprise of saving. Nobody evt r makes a purchase without hoping and expecting to save somethin; . but the universal desire is to be able to save so much that it will prove a delightful surprise The only danger Contingent upon in dulging this desire is the liability of being too readily influenced t the price, and at the same time too much carried away from a di; 1 consideration of the vr.lue. We wish to keepycur mind concen trated upon the value for thereby the delightful surprise of an unex pectedly low price will be all the grerter. You will, therefore, tak the "value view," of the bargains we publish, and carry that value view into all your thoughts and reflections rpon us, for it is by the su periority of the value that we promote the greatest benent arising from saving money m the price.
