The Standabd saw two preachers of the same denomination standing for one hour, or more, on the Btreets. Why so mnch difference? The 8cene reminded us of the picture "Before and After Taking."

A Salisbury paper tells of a na tive Cabarrus boy and what is told shows he has nerve and other things : "Mr. W A Fries has the contract to bnild twenty-five houses for the new factory in Greensboro. He will leaye with a squad of hands in a few days for that place. The Standabd had a call from a gentleman, who reminds one of the days when the Charlotte Observer was called Charlotte Chronicle and floated by Messrs Dowi and St. Clair. The personage was none other than the old foremaj he wore richly-hned anbnrn side wbiB kers. A bundle of dress goods was f onnd near Cold Water Baptist church. The goods were tied in a copy of the Weekly Standabd bearing the name ot E H Howell and from this we judge it for some one in the neigh borhood of Flowes.

Rev. 0 A White, son of Mr. Benton White, of No. 11 town ship, this county, preached Sunday, both morning and night, at the First Presbyterian chuioh. Al though Mr. White is a yonng man and his ministerial experience limited, he is an able expounder, and his Bermons Sunday were worthy of great praise. The following ne vs comes from the Charlotte Observer's correspond ent at Wadesboro: Sunday after noon, just before twilight, - Mr. J Henry Lockhart dropped dead. His wife had been out of the house only a short while, when on her return she fonnd him on the floor dead and cold. He was evidently reading his Bible when the summon came, as it was foand oo tie floor between his feet. A doctor was sent for imme diately, but he could only tell the bereaved family that the deceased died from a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Lockhart was a brother to Congress man Lockhart He leaves a wife and two very small children. Accident One at tne New Factory. The first accident to occur at the new factory building in the city took place' this (Tuesday) morning when Will Harris, a colored brick layer, fell through the scaffold and right badly skinned and bruised himself. - No bones were broken but the boy was . knocked almost nnoonoioas when he struck the ground, having fallen a distance of boat 12 feet' He was not seriously hurt. MRS.'' CANNON'S DEATH. K Lovely, rbrlhtiau I.ndy, of Uomsof Friend, Psnum Away After a Long Illness. It has been knon throughout the town for some days that the least possible hope could be enter tamed, by near relatives and friends, for the recovery of Mrs. Mary Jane, wife of our esteemed townsman, Mr. David F Cannon. For days and nights her life hung by a tender thread. loving relatives and friends watched eagerly with gladness every slight rally, bnt with painHhey saw each time she relapsed to a weaker and lower condition. All that fond attention and skilled physicians conld do. availed nothing in com bating the disease that was slowly but surely sapping up her vitality. For several days Mrs. Cannon waB unconscious. Though prepared for the inevit able, her death, which occurred abous 9 o'clock Sunday night, wis soon known all over Concord and carried a shock and pain to a host of warm friends of the familj. Mrs. Cannon was a daughter of Mr. J A Moss. Two sisters Burvive her ; they are Mrs. Esther Gibson and Mrs. Jas. R Erwin, of Concord ; her brother, Dr. John Moss, died several years ago. Mrs. Cannon was 55 years old and surviving her are her husband, one daughter, Miss Nannie and two sons, Masters Frank and Archey Cannon. She was a noble woman with warm, kind feelings of sympathy and eons sideration fer all her acquaintances, who held har in highest esteem. In this saddest of afflictions a husband ro&bed of his faithful and devoted wife; children, robbed of their fond mother there is a home on North Main street of sorrow, where the loss is great and severe, but pot that loss which a doubt and an uncertainty of the hereafter causes to sting. To all the afflicted and bereaved there goes out the ten derest sympathy of the whole com munity. The funeral services were con ducted from the residence at 4 o'clock, by the pastor, Key. W C Alexander, and the interment took place at the cemetery. Mayor Cook's First Trial- Mt Pleasant, this county, has the yonreest mayor in the State. John M Cook, son of Uapt. Jonas Cook. As evidence of peace of that com munity, he has been in office since May last and on Saturday he had his firet case. A negro Forrest as saulted a young white boy Arrington (No kin to Mrs. Pattie Arrington). The mayor found Forrest guilty and fined him $1.35 bo quick that Forrest's heels got dizzy and cayed in. He Was "A Tier Them." . Sunday afternoon abont 4 o'clock a gentleman appeared on the streets of Concord in a somewhat excited condition. It was Mr. Lennie Nusss msn, a citizen of llo-Tan cmnty, who was in pursuit of i-.is 16-year-old runaway daughter, who was wedded Saturday or Sunday in No. 6 town ship by Kequire J D Walker to Mr. Ed. tlieeuheitner, of No. 5 town- Ehip. The futher of the young wife was very much opposed 'o the union, bnt be was just a "leetle"too late to prevent the ceremony. At last accounts he had n jt found the happy couple, but he was still "after them," making threats that he would separate them. A Fox In Town. Early Sunday morning a red fox came into town. He was st en in Love town by several colored persons, who say he waa looking into hog pns. They followed him through the alley that enters South Main sm-et at Mr. A J Blackwelder's, then up Main street to court house. H.-rj he darted through the yard and was lost. Several yt.irs ago a young fox was penned in tie eourt house; he got loose, was eaptured and penned there again. The second time he liberated himself. It is believed that the fox was actually hunting its old home where it bad been so well fed. His foxship would better lie low, or his plume will decorate the record of some fine fox hound about or words to that effect Already there is some plotting against him by local sportsmen.

Thiugs have changed you know from what need to be the custom when the police would find a man drunk and disorderly or otherwise making himself a nuisance. It was then that you would see the law breakers taken to the calaboose and safely locked op until he was able to stand trial or giye bail. As it is now, there is no place but the jail to confine a criminal the calaboose rotten and unsafe. Virtually, the town has no place of its own in which to secure a man. Let the board of commissioners consider and provide a prison, and help the policemen. Saturday night at a festival in the rear of Scotia Seminary, by the colored people, a numoer of them got too hilarious. JThey had the town. This (Monday) Morning, the tables turned, however, the town bavin? them. Ed Martin, Will Torrence, John Harris and John fressly four young negroes were ushered into the mayor's court and fined $5.00 each for being drunk and disorderly. Four more, who are at work to day, will be pulled tonight for the same offence. The policemen could not imprison them because the town does not afford a sate place of keeping. THE BAND DID NOT PLAY Bnt the Cabarrus Baseball Boys Beat a Team from Kowan Messrs Cald well and Sogers Made Short Npeecbes. , The celebration of the school closing of Mr. Joe Cochrane, in the way of a basket picnic, Saturday last, at Glasses was a decided success. At noon, Mr. Morrison H Cald well, of this city, made a brief speech on education, followed by a talk from Mr. T M Rogers, who Spoke encouragingly of the progress of the school under the management of Mr. Cochrane. After the speak ing was done, dinner was spread. It was an abnndant one, and in words of one present : "It wat a dinner to set old Miss Mitchell, with plenty left." The quotation is an express sion of one of the baseball boys who assisted the coal chute nine in de feating the Grant's creek nine, in a score of 14 to 1. Brum lev, Fisher, KeeBler, Cook and Reed, played with the No. 4 men. The day was one of pleasure and enjoyed by every one. Lot Of Whiskey. Locust Levbl, N. 0. Sept 7 '95.

Unmistakable evidence of an oyer abundant fruit crop or of a misguid ed application of the tame, is often revealed to the cold, glittering eye of a careful observer, while peram bulating over the strtets or plodding through the "high-ways and hedges." Our fruit canners have sus tained considerable loss. The fruit sours. Is it prossible, that in this glorious nineteenth century, fruit should become so depraved as to take an insane delight n going through a degenerating process, fermentation ? Owing to drought farmers of this municipality will realize a crop not above the average. King cotton will soon evince his usefulness, and the jolly, indestructible corn-dodger will still reign quite extensively, unleBB an inordinate amount of corn vaporizes into "topsy-turyity." Litigation seems to be the pre vailing craze here. So many of our citizens were involved in litigation matters, one way or another, that the present court left our village almost defenseless. During the ab sence of these many, the quiet un assuming village might have fared badly, had there been an Indian in surrection or some other sort of a blood-curdling performance. AUOUSTIITK.

A Planing Mill In Ho. 8 Demollahed One Killed and Several wrasaM Kntrln and Boiler Thrown s Foe i Mr. Jack Harris May Wot Beeever; Bo's Badly Hart. Mr Jtekson Safrit lives abont 6 miles northeast of this city on what i is known us the Salisbury and Hags ler's ford road. It was at bis home, about 150 yards in rear of his mi dence, where was the scene of a hor rifying explosion this (Wednesday) morning at 7:30 o'clock. Mr Safrit and his sons, Robert and Victor, were engaged in running a planing mill, and were assisted by laborers John Bost, of No, 5 town ship, near Hileman's mill, and An derson Close, of No. 6. All nve or tne above named were under the shed in the lumber room in which the machine had been run ning. Robert Safrit was under the mill changing the knives to dress coarser lumber when suddenly something went wrong with the working of the engine. It was only an instant until the report of the ex plosion was heard, when the engine, boiler and platform on which it was built, shot through the shed into the air, and tell at a distance of about seventy-eight feet from its base, sweeping as it went the shed from its foundation and blowing pieces of machinery and lumber in every direotion for several hundred yards. The lumber shed and one end of a work Bhop were completely demolished and splintered, leaving only fragments of the buildings and a heap of wreckage on the mill site, As it passed through the shed, Master Victor Safrit was caught up by the engine and badly mangled. His sknll was crushed, one arm and one leg broken. His death was in stant. Among the debris was found Mr. Safrit, father of the boy that was killed, with a large bole in his right temple and otherwise bruised ; his wounds are considered fatal, and he may die at any time. Mr. John Bost, a resident of No. 5 township and father of five ohil dren, aged about 50 years, was found under the wreck in an un conscious state with his skull cruBfled in behind his left ear. In all probability he will die. Mr. Robert Safrit, who owns the plaining mill, is about 20 years old, and showed great presence of mind in laying flat under the machine when the gulshing engine and boiler passed directly over him. He es caped with a few slight bruises on the face and bach. Anderson Cruse, a laborer, who lives probably a mile and a half from the scene of the explosion, was badly hurt about the face and head. He walked from the wreck to his borne where he became unconscious. His injuries are not serious, although he is badly bunged up. Mr. Davis Barrier was within a few feet of the boiler, putting lum ber under the shed where the others were. He was the only one en the outside of the shed, and when hear ing the curious noise about the en gine gave the alarm of danger and ran, barely escaping being blown in to atoms by flying pieces of the boiler. He was struck on the left side and badly scalded by steam. Master Victor Safrit who was killed, was a bright little fellow of 15 years. He was a general favorite with all who knew him, and nothing but worthy praise was heard from the lips ef those who were present at the scene ef death. Mr, W R Blackwelder, who lives three-quarters of a mile from Mr. Safrit's, in conversation with a 8TAjnAKD reporter, who was on the scene shortly after the occurrence, gave his opinion as to the oause of the explosion, and stated that it was a defect in the boiler, and that it could not be attributed to careless ness. The report of the explosion was heard by him, at his home, dis tinctly. The boiler and engine was a com bination, upright one, and had been in constant use tor several months. It was purchased by Mr, Robert Saf rit who owned the plaining mill, from Mr. Caleb Nussman. Mr. Jackson Safrit is a son-in- law of Esquire J J Barringer; a brother to Mr. Matthew Safrit, and brotbersin-law to Mr. John A Cline, of this city. Messrs Jackson Safrit and John Bost were still living at 11 o'clock, hot bo hopes were entertained for their recovery. . , v Mr. 1. Whit Burknead Boad.1 This (Wednesday) morning about 3 o'clock Mr. J Whit Bnrkhead parsed away. It was known throughout the town that Mr. J Whit Burkhead, who for six months has been in de clining health, was neanng the end. The announcement of his death was no surprise, though one that carried pain to many and many who held him in the highest of esteem. For the last six weeks he has been un able to leave his room; during all this time the dread disease was wastine his life and bringing him closer and closer to the end. Noth ing was spared to make his suffering as light as possible. Mr. Burknead was a son or our yenerable citizen, Mr. J C H Burk head, waa born in June 1860 and was raised here in Concord. On Oo tober 2, 1884 he was married to Miss Alida Woodhouse, sister of Mr. H Woodhouse of Cannons & Fetzer, and this union waa blessed with boys and S girls, all ot whom sur. yive Mr. Burkhead, Mr. Burkhead was a "model man, upiight and pious. For years he was a salesman at Cannons & Fetz er's, and several years ago he laised the stock for the Cabarrus Cotton Mills, of which he was elected sec retary and treasurer, a position he filled with capacity and accuracy un til some weeks ago, when ill health prevented his further attentiou. To know Whit Burkhead was to like him and eBteem him; bis own quiet, courteous and business man ners won friends for him. The death of such a citizen, with so mnch promise, is indeed sad and a loss to Concord. To the bereaved wife, whose fon dest and most devoted attention was given him in health and especially in his illness, the little children and to all the bereayed, Concord's warm est sympathy goes out In the death of Whit Burkhead, as bis many friends familiarly called him, Concord sustains a loss and the Presbyterian church a devoted and faithful member. Llttlo BlehardVHson Killed. A telegram was received this after noon from Mr. Sidney Allen, of Winston, to Mr. R S Harris stating that his (Mr. Harris') little grand son, Richard Wilson, was run oyer by a street car and instantly killed. Little Richard is well remembered here as a bright little fellow, and it is with regret that we chronicle the sad affair. Mrs. Wilson and little children were here only a few weeks ago. Prefers Republicans to Democrats. A special to the Baltimore Sun from Raleigh says : Senator Marion Butler, in a letter to a friend here today, said : '''Have our friends rest easy with reference to any rumored co-operation or fusion with any party. Nothing will be done in any direction without a full consultation with our friends. All things being equal, I believe that we should stand by those who stood by us during the last campaign in preference to those who fought us I am surprised to see our friends get so easily excited oyer rumors published in Democratic papers. If our people had to cor rect all such rumors by publishing cards they would not have time to do anything else," The rumor to which Senator Butler alludes was that he was participating in a plan for the fusion of his party, the Popu lists and the Democrats. The average man knows no more now than before the Senator spoke. He's one man that can change in a twinkling of an eye. Why, he floats the name Caucasian his allies are anti. Caucasian. Touch on the Boarding House. On Monday a lady who rnns a private boarding house sent a little colored boy to the market for several pounds of beef. While on his way to said market the boy stopped to panhandle a pair of old shoes and when reaching the market it wsb closed. The boy did not secure the beef but carried parts of one or more nnder each arm. When the land lady saw what the boy had, she fainted. APronUnentCltlsenilt.

The little fellow, with a brother about the same size, brought load of wood to town and after unloading, went to the lot to feed. By accidentally coming in close contact with the animal's heels, one mule kicked a hole about an inch long through the boy's forehead. The little fellow was knocked un concious, but was soon brought to. The wound was dressed by Drs. Lilly & Montgomery, and the boy sent home in a buggy by Mr. Corl. Lovely Decorations Making Re- cord.
