A BROKEN BRIDAL.
Two Lovers Slain in a Collision
Auto. Struck by Train.
Richmond, Vt., Aug. 14.-Deputy Po
lice Commissioner Harris Lindsey, of New
York City and Miss Eliza P. Willing, of
Chicago, were almost instantly killed at
Pike's Crossing, near Bennington, Vt., this
afternoon, when a Northbraoch train on
the Rutland Railroad struck the automo
. bile in which they were traveling. -
Miss William' nephew, Ambrose Cra
mer, and the chaffeur, B. Adamson, were
thrown ut and badly brursed and cut but
not seriously injured. The engine was
thrown about fifteen feet and the tracks
were torn up for 100 feet. The automo
bile was dashed to pieces and was after
wards destroyed by fire. ,
Mr. Llndsley and Miss Willing were to
have been married next week.
The locomotive and one car were run
ning backward to meet the flyer from Tur
lington station and were thrown from, the
rails, the engine being overturned and roll
ing a distance of ten or fifteen feet from the
rails. Engineer William Sibley and Fire
man William Muggan jumped from the
cab and were unhurt, while fifteen passen
igers also escaped injury.
The injured were removed to the hospi
tal at the Soldier's Home and were resting
'comfortably late tonight.
The accident occurred shortly after 4
o'clock this afternoon as the party were
tcayei&ng un a street grade leading over the
crossing. Hr. Lindaley and Hiss Willing
occupied the rear scat of the car, & big tour
ing machine. The boy and the -chaffeur
were in front.
There is a curve near the crossing and
Adamson states that he did not eee the
train until it was upon them. Engineer
Sibley and fireman make the same state
ment. The locomotive tender struck the
rear seat of the automobile which was
thrown about 60 feet.

M0RTGAGE0N GIRL'S HEART.
Austrian Paid Her Fare Across the
Atlantic, She Married Another.
Wilkesbarre, Pa. (Special.) Joseph
Kropkern, of this city, today sued for the
amount of a mortgage he had upon theaf
fections of Miss Joeefy Wassal, because she
married another man after being promised
to him. He and the girl's brother are
great friends and a match was arranged be
tween them, although the girl was in Aua
tna. Kropkern paid $45 to bring her here,
bat when she came he failed to propose,
thinking, as he said today, that the brother
bad made, the proposal for him and that the
marriage was understood. N The girl, after
waiting several weeks, a couple of days
ago married another man, whereupon Krop
kern today brought suit for the $45.
Alderman Donehue gave judgement;

THE NEGRO OF TODAY.
And a Type of the Old School That
is Fast Disappearing.
Yesterday afternoon, on turning sudden
ly the corner of a street I ran into a little
negro lad of perhaps 11 years. . Some half
dozen articles which he probably was car
rying home from the store, were knocked
from his arms by the collision and scatter
ed In as many different directions upon the
pavement, a newspaper which I carried in
my hand when we ran together was also
dislodged by the contact. '
Tipping the ragged excuse for a cap that
he wore, bowing and looking very regret
ful and with "scuse me sab, I'se berry sor
ry,' he proceeded to restore to me my pa
per in utter disregard of bis own half-dozen
bundles scattered hither aad thither upon
the sidewalk. Then gathering up his pack
ages one by one, and "giving his ragged cap
Another tip, tnis time with his ebony face
wreathed in smiles, hurried on his way. .
I stood still for u moment and watched
him as he trudged down the street.
His head was thrown back and he whis
tled a tune a merry, happy tune. He was
conscious perhaps of having repaired his
fault, (no more his than mine) and done
his duty as a gentleman? Ah, no. He was
only a ragged negro boy, and could not do
a duty "aa a gentleman:" Yet, methinks,
there are many who boast of their blue
blood, claiming by birth, the title of gen
tlemen, and many others whose claim to
the title depends upon the size of their
bank account, who might learn a much
needed lesson iirtrue gentility and polite
ness, from this little ragged urchin, de
scendant of Africa sable race.
As I watched him go down the street I
thought. "How strange! Have the years
rolled backward and the . old days come
again?"
But no. Here comes another negro.
Panama hat on back of head, patent leather
shoes, cigarette between his teeth, bristling
with self importance and with the brand of
A. D. 190 apparent all over him, who al
most pushes me into the street and keeps
straight ahead with a jaunty, self-satisfied
air."
And thus I am reminded , that the year
60 was 45 years ago and this is an ae of
equal rights" and "liberty."
But that first little negro he of the lad

of 'him? I do "'not "know his name iffever
saw him before. But . I'll wager that he
received his training from one of the south 's
truest types of gentlemen the old faith

HOLY JUMPER UNDER ARREST.
Danville Man Charges Him With
Enticing His Wife Away.
(Danville, Va,, Dispatch.) ;"
. L. Walker, a painter, swore out a
warrant this afternoon for the arrest of
Rev. A. G. Garr, who is at the head of
a sect of religious enthusiasts, known as
the Holy Jumpers, on the charge of en
ticing his wife to leave him and for se
creting his children from him. Walk
er's wife has for tho past eight months
been attending the services of the Holy
Jumpers and has by degrees been con
verted to their religion. On . last Sun
day night she joined the Church, de
spite the protests of her husband. One
of the doctrines of the Holy Jumpers is
that it is wrong for any member of the
flock to mary a non-member.
Mr. Walker says that Mrs. Walker has
been under the influence of Rev. Garr
since 9he--beganattending the services,
and has not for several, months been 'a
wife to hm. When the man went home
to dinner today he found his wife and
two children missing, as well as all their
belongings. Walker discovered that his
wife had taken refuge in the Holiness
House, a large building occupied by the
Holy Jumpers. He went to the house,
and when he asked for his wife and
children Rev. Garr told him that he
could not see them unless he became
converted to the faith.
Walker is indignant over the affair,
swears vengeance. He believes that
the Holiness preacher has exerted an
evil influence over his wife, and this is
at the bottom of her deserting him.
Over a dozen of the Holy Jumpers, in
cluding many women, recently served
terms in jail because they persisted in
yelling and screaming during their ser
vices on the streets, in defiance to the
mayor's orders to them to stop.
The night service of this sect attract
many people, who come for curiosity.
The members of the congregation dance
under hoisted umbrellas, women preach
while holding crying babies in their
arms, and other strange antics form the
part of a ceremony that is ridiculous in
the extreme. .
; A number of complaints have been
made by husbands to the police that
their wives have either deserted them
or gone crazy as a result of joining the
Holiness Church.
Schoof for the Blind.
The North Carolina School for the
Blind in Raleigh will not open until
September 20th, this fall, on account of
impossibility of completing the repairs
that have been in progress some weeks,
$7,500 being expended in this work prin
cipally for cement floors in the base
ments of all the buildings and the doub
ling of the capacity of the laundry. Sick
wards are being prepared also. It is a
notable fact that although the institu
tion is sixty-five yeare old there has
been heretofore no provision made for
the separation of the sick from the gen
eral student quarters. Superintendent
Jno. E. Ray says the enrollment this
year will exceed 350.

The Law Unconstitutional.
Asheville, N. C, Aug. 14. Special.
Judge Fred Moore this afternoon signed an
order compelling the county commissioners
to turn over the making out of the tax list
and the annual county statement to Regis
ter of Deeds Fortune instead of Auditor
Stokeley.
The decision of Judge Moore was in ef
fect that the auditor's office, created bytbe
last legislature, in so far as it effected the
emoluments of the office of register of deeds
was unconstitutional.
The salary of the auditor was fixed at
f 1,200 a year, the major portion of his work
being the tax . lists and the annual state
ment, heretofore made by the register of
deeds who received several hundred dollars
for the work.
When the office was created Mr. For
iune decided to contest that portion of the
act affecting his salary with the result that
the decision was in his favor. It is said
that the constitutionality of the office audi
tor as whole will now be tested, that the
commissioners will refuse to pay the audi
tor his salary since he does not perform all
the duties set out in the act and that the
auditor will sue for his pay.

THE OLD NORTH STATE.
Pride and Devotion of North Caro
linians to Their State Justified
by her History and Achieve
ments of Her Sons.
Houston, Texas Chronicle.
There is something admirable and in
spiring in the state pride of the people
of North Carolina, and their pride in
and devotion to their state is justified
by her history and by the achievements
of North Carolinians from the period of
the Revolution until this good day. As
one of the thirteen Colonies which re
belled against British tyranny she was
the theatre of bloody war, and her sons
bore well their part in that memorable
struggle. .
Recent historical investigation has
proved that upon her soil was framed
and proclaimed at Mecklenburg the first
Declaration of Independence, and in the
conflict which followed upon the latter
declarations at Philadelphia many a
son of North Carolina sealed with his
blood his devotion to the principles
which her people had been the first to
proclaim. .
When independence had been achiev
ed her sons stood as peer of the proud
est in the halls of legislation, and were
potent factors in shaping the policy and
destiny of the young republic, for the
existence of which they were in such
great and honorable measure respon
sible. During the formative stage of the na-
ilonar government, when there was a
struggle between intellectual giants re
presenting the respective contentions
for a strong centralized government on
one side and a government wherein the
autonomy of the states and their, unsur
rendered sovereignty should be the
guiding and controlling policy and prin
ciple on the other. North Carolina
statesmen stood always for the latter
contention, the true faith and the basic
principles of the republic conceived and
created by the patriotism and genius o
Jefferson and Madison and their great
compatriots.
- North Carolina always, adhered to
lofty political ideals. Her representa
tive in Congress and her senators were
men of the highest intellectual and
moral sunward, ska swit to- jrepr-.
Beht her in the ' national councils none
busmen worthy of her historic and lofty
political and social traditions. It would
have been as impossible for a man with
a tainted record or upon whose name
there rested even the suspicion of dis
honor to have secured a seat as repre
sentative or senator from the Old North
State as it would for an unpardoned sin
ner to have entered heaven.
In that old state there have always
been and are yet maintnined the loft
iest social standards and traditions.
The meretricious and demoralizing com
mercialism which so dominates other
sections has found no lodgment there.
Money there is not the measure of merit"
No man buys his way into society there.
The people hold to the honorable, ex
alted, ancient social faiths and there is
to be found an aristocracy not of wealth
but of breeding and grace and. culture.
The people of North Carolina not only
profess devotion to the true principles
of republican government, but are ever
ready to make good their professions,
and when their rights were disregarded
and aggression upon the soil of their
beloved state was threatened, they rose
as one man to defend their homes and
firesides, and historical statistics prove
that North Carolina sent more soldiers
to battle in proportion to population
than was ever furnished by any state
or nation in all the annals of human
history.
Great as was her contributions to the
armies of the south in numbers, the
quality of her soldiery was equally as
remarkable. Her people cherish with
pardonable and imperishable pride the
record of North Carolina's sons from
1861 to 1865, and on a monument recent
ly erected in that state In perpetuation
of the memory of their matchless deeds
there is graven the inscription, sustain
ed by historical records: "First at Beth
el.' Farthest at Gettysburg, and last at
Appomattox."
' To read that inscription thrills every
man capable of appreciating heroism
and devotion to duty, like a bugle call.
First in the opening battle, f artherest
in the advance up the historic heights
of Gettysburg, and last to yield when
the great drama closed in gloom, but yet
in glory at Appomattox is a record upon
which North Carolina may well rest
through all the changing years. It
stands and unmatchable, and the impar
tial historian of the future will write
North' Carolina down as she deserves.'
" The devotion of her . people to which
they testified by their blood in time of
war was not more remarkable and
scarcely more admirable than has been
that displayed in the well-nigh as trying
times of peace. Though her fields were
laid waste, the homes of her people de
stroyed, her Industries prostrated, and
anguish, sorrow uuspeakable and pov
erty dire kept watch and ward by every
hearthstone, yet her children did not
forsake her in the hour of Her darkness
and desolation, but facing a future that
seemea nopeiess, out of verv love of their
old mother they have redeemed and de
llvered her from the hand of the spoiler
and she is now a land of prosperity in
peace and plenty smiling.
Grand old state! The home of a brave,
faithful, glorious people, who love lib
erty better than life, who hold unseduo-
ed to the Dolitical and social teach
ings and traditions of their fathers, who
have in council hall and on battle field
made luminous the pages of history,
whose sons in her defense have ."trod
the road to dusty death as to a festival, '
and watered the roots of the tree of
constitutional government with their
heroic blood.
Admitting no political guilt, asking
pardon of no man or no power, with con
sciences void of offense in past and trust
ing yet in the God of their fathers, they
have rebuilded their waste places, re
stored their broken fortunes, regained
their political supremacy and glorying
in her past, rejoicing in the abundant
prosperity of her present, with the song
of the husbandman, the roar of the fur
nace, the hum of the spindle and the
whirr of the loom, they are heralding
the triumphant march . of North Caro
lina toward a future which shall be
worthy of her richest and noblest his
toric and heroic traditions.

Suggestions for HendersonvIHe.
Asheville, Aug. 16. The Asheville
board of trade, desirous of ascertaining
the number of visitors to Asheville at
this season of the year, will undertake
with the co-operation of the mayor and
board of aldermen, a census of the
strangers here. The census will proba
bly be taken early next week. It i
not proposed to take a census of those
visitors who spent a time in Asheville
this season or this year, but only those -sojourning
here when the census man
makes his round. It is conceded that
there are - more visitors "here now, or
wT!I1 wheja reM5'i&K:ett
reach Asheville this week, than ever
before in the city 'a history and the board
of trade, in order to ascertain the num- .
ber, will make a house-to-house canvass.
It is proposed to take the census in one x
day in order that names may not be du
plicated to; send out a large number of
canvassers with ballot boxes and slips
of paper as ballots and to request ' each
boarding house keeker to deposit with
in the box in the hands of the census
taker the number of guests in the house.
In this way the prosperous or unprcs
perous condition of the boarding houses
will not be known.
No, Mills River Declined.
Asheville, Aug. 16. Upon the peti
tion of the citizens of Avery's Creek
township, the board of county commis
sioners yesterday ordered that an elec
tion be held in that township Saturday,
September 16, to determine whether the
said township shall issue $5,000 in bonds
for subscriptions of that amount of stock
to the building of the Appalachian In
terurban Railway.
Well informed citizens of the Avery's
Creek section, in town this week take
an optimistic yiew of the proposed road
and say that there is little doubt but the
bond issue will carry by a large majori
ty. Avery's Creek adjoins Henderson
county and in view of the fact Hills
River, adjoining Avery's Creek on the
Hendorson county side of the line, has
voted bonds, as have also other town
ships in Henderson, the people of Av
ery's Creek are anxious that the road
extend through their section and are
willing to help the project alone in a
substantial manner. If Avery's Creek
votes the bonds, a bond election will
probably be called for Lower Hominy.
the township lying between Asheville
and Avery s Creek, and the road pushed
on toward this city. '
State Printers Improving Plant.
Mestrs. . M. Uzzell & Co. have taken
another step forward in their determi-
nation to handle the state printing
promptly, by putting in a new Smythe
stitching machine. The state work has
increased so rapidly during recent years
that it is next to an . impossibility to
meet the demands of the various depart
ments without employing modern meth- -ods
and realizing this fact, the state
printers have set about the task. The
recent addition of a folding machine,
with a capacity of 20,000 32-page forms
daily, and the rapid stitcher just put in. '
means that delays will soon be "things
of the past." Raleigh Post. ;
