Canal The Lake Druramond Canal and Water Company wish to give notice that the Old Dismal Swamp Canal route between Norfolk and Elizabeth City is now open tor business and the tug boat will leave every other day except Sunday, commen dug August 28th, making trips as follows: Leaves Norfolk Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri days. Returning, leaves Eliza beth City, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The Canal Company insures nine feet of water at present time between the locks, and in a few weeks they will have ten feet of water in the canal. The Company has dredged fifteen feet in depth for a distance of three thousand feet below the locks in Deep Creek. They have also made deep water be tween South Mill's locks, in the waters of the Pasquotank river. The Canal Company has dredg ed the ( )ld Turner Cut to the depth of ten feet at low water. Thus far the Canal Company can insure a sufficient depth of water. The Canal Company would 1 ot at oresent guarantee a safe passage between Norfolk and Elizabeth City for boats draw ing more than seven and a half feet of water as the Pasquotank has one shoal place, and Deep Creek at low water has not more than seven and a half feet at the present time. The government has appro priated money to deepen and widen Deep Creek and also to deepen and straighten the wat ers of the Pasquotank river. This work is to commecc at once. The Company in the meantime intend to improve and widen the canal, and in the near future the Canal Company believe that they will have a canal and waterway between the points named that cannot be ex celled in this country J.

A ROCK Cruiser Charleston will Be a Total Wreck. ALL ON BOARD SAVED Watching in Vain for a Trans port Lieutenant McDonald Makes a Hazardous Trip to Lingayen Gulf At Sei in a Typhoon Captain of the Or egon Sheds Tears When Told of the Wreck Helena Sent to Help Crew. Manila, Nov. 14. Detail of the wrecking of the cruiser Charleston ofl the uninhabited island of Font, on the east coast of Luzon, have been received. The cruiser had been patroling the coast line some time. At 6 o'clock in the morning of Nov ember 2 she struck a rock not on the charts. An immediate exam ination was made and it was dis covered that the vessel would probably be a total wreck The discipline was perfect. Sound ings were made, small boats pro visioued and observations taken. The meu were ordered to put five days rations in haversacks, and with 135 rifles and two Colt guns, they reached Font the same afternoon and stayed there several days. Finally they went to Camaguin, where the natives appeared to ba friendly. The men kept a lookout for a passing transport. None was seen, and finally a sailing launch in command of Lieutenant Mc Donald started out for Manila. They had a trying experience. A typhoon sprung up and the launch did not dare approach the shore. Provisions ran short. The launch reached the mouth of Lingayen GuM Saturday aud CAMPION JEFFRIES' PROGRAMME. Fight Corbett Fij st and Then All the Other Heavyweights. Champion Pugilist James J. Jeffries has had mapped out for him a progiamme that will like ly keep him busy for many months to come. In reference to his future boxing contests he made the following announce ment : Those heavyweights who want to fight me need not woriy. They will all have a chance, I will meet James J. Corbett first of all. Corbett is my friend. I was once his sparring partner and he treated me right. Now is my chance to returu his kind ness. He asked me for a match, and I told him he would be given the first whack at the champion. "Jim is a clever boxer. He may be the one who will beat me. I don't think he will. Even if I did I would take him on just the same. "I am the champion of thc world, aud I am going to defend that title. If Fitzsimmons did not meef me I could not have won it. And unless I give others the same show they could not very well obtain the crown to which every heavyweight as pires. "After t Corbett let the rest come on. Next will be the win ner of the Sharkey Fitzsimmons fight. It is only right that these two should have it out before coming back at me. I defeated them both, and am now ready to meet whichever one is the bet ter. I don't care which one it is "That talk of me fearing to get in the ring with Sharkey again is nonsense. He gave me a hard punch or two, but did not come within a hundred miles of beating: me. The next time we met the transporc Aztec, home- fight I'll put him out sure. And ern j - -TV?

Gus Ruhlin is TWENTY YOUNG MEN YIELD TO TORTURE. Skin Taken From Their Arms to be Grafted Upon a Boy's. Toronto, Can., Novembers. On the operating table of the Si.'k Chi dren's Hospital, of this city, at 9 o'clock this morning lay Charlie Cochrane, twelve years old, the skin of whese back had beed scalded 08 as a result of his falling into a tub of boiling water. Around the table stood twenty bright and healthful young men, mostly students, half of them from the Knox Presbyterian College, several others from the medical schools one or two clerks Each had been carefully exam ined the night before by medi cal men and pronounced healthy. Before the lances were used the operation room looked like a vaccination room, for each of the young men had his lett arm bared. The system adopted was the Thiersch, and proved successful. Each arm was carefully shaved and washed with a septic solus tion, and one by one a long strip of skin was carefully removed. When the physical capacity of the self sacrificing young man was sufficient, two strips were removed, each about three inches long, and one inch wide. In no case was an anaesthtice necessary, each young man un flinchingly and silently submit ting to the operations. As the strips were removed they were put iu a saline solution, and then upon the patient's body until the whole back was recov ered with this grafted skin, as well as several small places on other parts of the body. The grafted skin began to adhere to the body in a very short space of time. Oiled silk was laid over the grafted skin and the boy rolled in bandages. He stated to-night that the work of grafting was not so painful as the dressing of the body was before the opera tion. The medical men are high ly satisfied with the result. THE DAMAGE WAS $200,000.

He had hidden the gold during the panic and forgotten where he buried it. 3 f c Gravestones, Our Illustrated Catalogue, No. 10, which we mail free, con tains a variety of designs ot Marble and granite Memorials, and will help you in making rt proper selection.

It may get a bit monotonous, but I'm champion, and must keep the pugilistic pot aboiling "I hear that fighting in New York is going to be stopped. If that is so I'll take oa these fel lows iu battles to a finish. I will fight in Carson City, Mexico or anywhere else. The plains will suit me. "I think I will still hold the championship after fighting them all. Possibly some one of them may lick me. But I doubt it. "I come close to knowing just how good every fighter of the lot is, and have a pretty good line on what I am able to do. "Even if one of them does the trick, what's the difference? It's all in the game. One man has no right to be champion forever. Especially if there is another fellow who can beat him." August Becker Hanged. Albert August Becker, the German butcher, who, on Janu ary 27th last murdered his wife, Rachel, and afterwards chopped up and boiled the remains in or der to dispose of them, was hang ed in the county jail at Chicago last Friday. On the scaffold Becker protest ed his innocence, and declared George Suttlin, the father of his second wife, was the real mur derer. The case of August Becker in many ways bore a remarkable similarity to that of Adolph Luetgert. The Largest Kitchen. The Bon Marche in Paris has the largest kitchen in the world. It provides food for all the em ployees of the house, 4,000 in number. The smallest kettle holds 75 quarts; the largest 375 quarts.

The coffee machine makes 750 quarts of coffee daily. There are 60 cooks and 100 kitchen boys employed. A Big Theft of Diamonds. At Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday afternoon, thirty thousand dol lars worth of diamonds were stolen from the store of Sigler Brothers at No. 354 Euclid av enue, lnree men entered tne store which is on the second floor. One of the trio stood at the elevator cage and the other two entered the office of Mi. Sigler. One of the strangers en gaged the attention of the clerks and the other talked to Mr. Sig ler, at whose side was a black box, four by ten inches, contain-tainine-the diamonds. Mr. Sig ler says his attention was de tracted for a moment and upon turning to his supposed custom er both had fled and the box of jewels was gone. The police have no clew ex cept a description furnished by Mr. S:gler. Result of the Recent Hurricane that Swept the State. The North Carolina section of the climate and crop .ervice of the Weather Bureau, which was issued Tuesday gives the follow ing summary of the damage re sulting from the recent hurri cane which swept throught the State : "The wind reached a maxi mum velocity of 76 miles from the northeast at Kitty Hawk, but only 43 from the southeast at Wilmington. The damage in the interior consisted chiefly in the uprooting of trees, destruct ion of fences and frail structures, with minor injury to ungathered crops. From all accounts there appears to have been only one life lost, but the damage to pro perty was very great, a conser vative estimate placing the loss at ovei $1 00,000. "One steamer, the Catherine Whiting, was wrecked (loss $28. 000) and ten other vessels, most ly small schooners, were destroy ed or driven ashore and badly damaged. At Foit Caswell (mouth of Cape Fear) govern ment property was much dam aged; tide reached 5 feet above high wat r mark. At Southport the tide was very high; dwelling houses and stores were damaged; the quarantine station lost its wharves. Some vessels were driven ashore (loss $12,000. Wilmington reported the high est tide since 1893, and the river came over the wharves and flood ed Water and Nutt Streets; the damage to property at wharves was considerable. At Wrights ville the tide was 8 feet above high water mark; over twenty cottages and club houses were destroyed, and the remainder in jured (loss $25,000). A trestle on the Wilmington Seacoast Rail way was washed away (loss $50, 000). At Carolina Beach most of the cottages were destroyed (loss $8,000). Along the Cape Fear river wharves at various plantations, fishermen's huts, and domestic animals were swept away; rice fields were flooded, and in some cases rice ready for thrashing was destroyed. More head City, Beaufort and New Bern suffered much damage. The heaviest loss at New Bern was caused in the dock ware houses at the foot of Craven street; cellars aud wharves were flooded, many tons of salt, flour, sugar and lime being destroyed, and after the s'orm the river was full of floating cotton, lumber, logs and fire wood ($40,000). "Minor damage at many other points would aggregate a con siderable sum." Raleigh Post. Beforeyon leave for the sea shore be sure and take NO-HED-AKE Tablets with you.

Chambersburg, Pa., Novem ber 9. Because of family troub les Leonard Fauble, a farmer, 35 years of age, hanged himself at his home near City Hill this evening. When Fauble came in from the field he told his wife he meant to end his troubles by hanging himself. He had threatened several times before, to kill himself, and his wife thought he would not carry out his threat this time. Fauble procured a rope and went up stairs. Seeing that her hus band was in earnest, Mrs. Fau ble hurried to neighbors for as sistance. When she returned and opened the door leading to the second floor she found her husband hanging from the bal ustrade at the head of the stairs wav. The cause of Fauble's troubles was an idea on his part that his mother-in-law was try ing to separate himself and his wile. The couple had been married five years and had one child.
