Around the Depot. Wednesday eytning as the bakibg powder train was pulling oat of the yard, Policeman Boat spied a man on the rods under one of the org, and called for him to come out, but the train was going too fast for him to get off. A month or two ago, when the other baking powder train came through, it will be renum bered, three men were taken off. It seems that tbey have a mania for these trains. A gentleman got on the train Wednesday night with his frirnd, and did not intend to go cff. Before be hardly knew it, the train had pulled out, and he saw that it was running tco fast to grt off, so he pulled the bell cord, which of couree stopped the tram at once. Before it had hardly a opped be was off and gone. A CIiaiik in Agents.

A physioian was summoned but it was tome time btfore she recovered sufficiently to be removed to the home of her cousin, Willard Robinson. The church was packed to the doors and hundreds were turned away. The church was exceedingly close, and it was noticed that Mits Willard was making a painful effort to speak. She suddenly brought her talk to an abrupt clrse and left the platform, fainting as she reached the ante-room. Her secretary, Miss Gordon, said that Miss Willard has been ill fir several days, but had kept op for this talk to the people of Jsneville, among whom her girlhood was spent.

The struggle to saye him has been intense and it is said that one Joseph Blanther died in Texas tome time ago and on his death bed made confession that be was the murderer. The courts are not convinced of the genuineness of this statement. Durant realizes big fate and has made the following requests, yiz : '-First, that the rope used to hang him be destroyed immediately after his death, so that no person can se cure a pieee of it as a memento. Second, that none of the spectators be allowed to gaze upon his features after execution. Third, that no autopsy be held after death and no physician be allowed to examine the body.

William Hampton, the 12 years old ion of Mr. and Mrs. John E Hampton, of Haywood street, met an untimely death last evening by being accidentally shot and killed by a playmate. The little fellow baa gone to spend tbe nigbt at the home of Mrs. Wainscot, on lslanton stroet, and was playing wiih her three sons. Tbe boys were "playing theatre," when Lawrence Wainscot, the oldest boy of the party, drew a 38 caliber r volver which be had found about t e h-Hue and thought was not 1 iaded, and snapped the weapon in tbe face of young Hampton, There was an explosion of a cartridge ; the bullet entered tbe Hampton boy's left eye, ranging across the head and lodging in the back of the iad The occipital bone was fractured. Death was almost instantaneou", As'ieville Citizen. Renounced Ills Kelliclon. We do not remember to have ever read or heard of a person connected with the church who, in rational conditisn, renounced religion when nearing death. Most instances are franght with astonishments and re grets th .t so little interest end so little faith was exercised during tbe belter days; bnt in tbe caee of Henry M Tabor, of New York, the world has an instance of a man standing well in the Presbyterian church who slid in th preamble of bis will that religion is a mere superstition and, in substance, charges against all re ligions a series of evils the very op posite of all that is realized by the devout Christian. He willed that bis body be ere mated, and that no svnblan"e of sa cred ceremony be attached to the disposal of bia remains.

"Our last Legislature," said Mr. W H Green, of North Carolina, at the Riggx, "passed a. law providing for tbe imprisonment of men who failed to pay their taxes. It was about as foolish a piece of legisla tion as waa ever enacted, and ia no doubt contrary to the constition. It is safe to say that no delinquent taxpayer will ever be jailed and the statute will be a dead letter. Tbe right of a State to deprive those who failed to pay their taxes of the voting privilege ia unquestioned, and that ia as far in the way of punishment as any government should go." Washington Post.

It seems bat tbe breaking in of poatofflcts iu our adjoining counties is geting to be a very prevalent crime. Tbe postoffics at Cleveland, Taylorsville, Leaksville and Mocks ville have been broken loto lately, and on Wednesday night tbe one at Mooreville was robbed. Tbe from djor of the ftlce was prized open and then tbe aafe was drilled and blown open, robbing the postmaster himself of private funds to the j amount of $106, government funds in cash, $8, and stampi amounting to about $40. From fie looks of tbe work, it was evidently done by professional safecrackers, and U supposed to be tbe work of the same gang tnat nag neen at tne otner poatt'ffhes. There are supposed to be either four or five men ia the gang and the advance agent is thought to be an old gray-haired man, and thiy sometimes carry with them a cripple who begs for them and ao'g as a kiud of decoy, so we learn from the Charlotte News. Deteotives are now working on tbe case. The "onlhern Tobacconist. This is the name of a new magas zine we find on our desk. This is its first Issne and is published at Richmond, Va. Under its beading it has tbe words " The Twin Sisters Virginia and North Carolina." It ia exceptionally neat in print, and is devoted to the interest of tobacco raisers. We see much tribute paid to North Carolina in it to the town of Durham and also to Col. J 3 Carr and bis fine brands of tobac co. In it we gee tbe advertisement of Blackwell'a Durham Bull tobac co, which is newly gotten up. It represents a package of tbe tebacco lying on tbe beach, and nnder it are tbe words "The Only Pebble on the Beach."

In the midst rf their amusements Dannie loaded and Johnie fired tbe gun, which burst for about i foot from the breech. Johnie was badly burnt abont his left band and arm. It is hoped no serious and permanent injury will result. It waa Johnie's first shot to fire with a gun and he does not feel anthusiastio fur a second shot.

The survey waa ordered and it waa committed to Maj. Thomaa W Symona of tbe corps of engineers U. 8. A. Major Symona saya, unhesita tingly, that it will not pay, and that it ia not needed. He estimates that it will cost T200,000,000 to con struct it and $2,000,000 a year to waintain it, while the receipta, be thinka, woulJ not justify thieex penditure. He urges, though, that tbe Erie canal be enlarged at about one fourth the cost for boats suitable for canal carrying. Another Express Robbery. The American Expreea Company was robbed Thursday in New York by a trusted employe named Clark Brader. The amount of the rob bery waa I105S2, $5,000 of which was in Chicago gas bonds.

The doo tor was about to conclude the thim ble was not in the body when he decided to look through the back. He at once found it distinctly visi ble, lying with the email end to wards the shoulder. Mr. Harris will take the little girl to Charlotte to day for an operation." Daily of 7 In a Tangle, From the News and Observer we learn that tbe books of K G Butler, the fusion bureer and assigtant pro fessor of English in the Agricul tural and Mechanical College, do not show up right by about $5,C00, It is believed that the discrepancy ia due to bad bookkeeping rather than to crime, tbougb, and time and assistance are given bim to straighten out tbe affair.

The ladies of the Central Metho dist church held their festival Fii day night in tbe Litaker building. Oysters and lunches were served in best of style, and they received quite a good amount of patronage. The principal feature of tbe occa sion, and tne one mst interesting, was the auctioning off of tbe young ladies. The ladies were put on the stand one at a time, and completely disguised. Tbe auctioneers thea took tbe bids, promising the pur cbaser tba' as soon as be bought tbe lady, he could have ber. The Standard puts in a gtrong objec tion to that gale laut night, and will stick to it until the last. It is because tbe ladies did not bring anything like tbe price they are worth. It is pretty bad to think that none of our girls tbat were put npon the stand, and none bnt beauties were en sale, brought more tban 50 cent and gome were even bought at the low price of 10 cents. Tbe festival proved to be guc- ceesful to tbe church, having netted the amount of $48.67. The ex-peiis-s amounted to $9.45, making the amonnt Uken in $3812. He Wanted the Change. A etory about lawyers ia ootribu ted by a western correspondent. Mr. Babson, we will call him, was ajyoung lawyer of the town where tbe court was held, while tbe oppos ing counsel, Mr. Carter, was a much better known attorney of a neigh boring city. Mr. Babson was addressing tbe jury, and having explained a point to the jurors, he turr e I to Mr. Car ter with the words : "Isn't that right V Mr. Carter thought he had a very verdant suljct on bia bands, and with a smile of conscious superiori ty replied : "I have an office in C, and if you have any legal problems that you desire to bave solved, I eball be pleased to enlighten you for a finaa cial consideration." . Not in the least abashed, Mr. Babson drew from his pocket a ten cent piece, and held it out toward Mr. Carter with the words : "Here, tell ua what you know and band back the change."

Three Hen Thought to Have Been Implicated In the Robbery of the Peatealee at Sieereavllle. Friday's Charlotte News aaya : Information cornea from Moorea ville to tbe effect that tbe authori ties tbink they bave some clue at to tbe robbery of the poatc ffice a' tbat place nigbt before laat. Tbe Newa' informant states thai there were undoubtedly three men implicated in the robbery and tbat they left Moorrsville at an early hour Thursday morning in the direction of tbe Western Nortb Carolina road. Tbe conductor that came in on this road last nigbt telle that thret suspicious looking men boarded bia tram at a little station by the name of Cleveland, near the divid ing line, between Iredell andRowan counties. Tbeae men remained in the second class car until the train stopped at a switch just before get ting into Salisbury. The conduc tor did not know of tbe robbery at Mooresville, else his suspicions would have been aroused. He re members that one of tbe three bad one of his hands bound up with a handkerchief, but further than this be cannot give a deecription. One of Sheriff Monroe's deputies came down Friday from Salisbury as far as Glass station, a few miles beyond Conoord. It was learned in Salisbury this morning that three men answering the descrip tion of the three tbat the conductor on the Western North Carolina road saw, boarded No. 85 Thursday night at Salisbury and bought tickets to Glass' Station. The man with a wounded arm was in the crowd, and it was by this means tbat attention waa called to them A gentleman from near Moorea yille says that there is no question in his mind but what the men de scribed above are the ones tbat blew the aafe open. He states tbe men probably remain ed in the woods near Moores ville until yesterday afternoon when they started for a point on tbe Western North Carolina road Cleveland, tbe little station men tioned above, waa tbe nearest from where they were located. Detectives have tbeen sent from Washington. Thy arrived in Salis bury Thursday night and begun working on tbe case immediately, ANOTHER FIRE For Sir. St B stldenhonr- nearly Everything la the Hease Barned Only a few days ago Mr. R E Ridenbour, of this city, bad tbe misfortune to lose by fire at King's Mountain, and now be baa been visited again by the flames. Tbe bouse on bis farm a few miles from town, just beyond Sunderland Hall, on which a man named Mr. H C Fink lives, was almost entirely consumed. It waa a very nice two room house and an "L." Mr. Fink's family had left home laat nigbt light and did not return until about 11 o'clock. Tl ey had only been home about one hour, when the corner of the "L" was found to be burning. They did not have time to save anything but a few articles of clothing and a few pieces of furniture. Unfortunately there was no insurance. Mr. Ridenbour 'ays the bouse could not be put up for lees than $150. It is thought that tbe building was set fire by some one, as there had been no fire in that part of the house. Mr. Fink baa a family of four or five children, and nothing scarcely is left them except tbe clothing that they have on their backs. This is very unfortunate for both parties interested and ia tbe second loss by afire within two weeks time for Mr Ridenbour, and is aa much of a loss to Mr. Fink and family. Daily of 8.b.

Tbe crops are not all out of tbe fields, the stock is loose, and the people are mad, and reports say tbat some of them are going to adopt tbe shot gun policy aa to tbe stock, and once adopted it may go further. The act was passed before the good people of Halifax knew it was thought of, and when they found it out tbey cama to Raleigh by repre sentatives, but could nothing done. Tbey were mad then and are mad yet and may eboot stock. Burlington News.

Suffered 20 Years, MRS. MARY LEWIS, wife of a promi nent furmcr. and well known by n'J old residents near Bvlmout, N. Vr writes: "For twenty-seven years I had been a constant sufferer from nervous prostra tion, and paid Urge sums of money fur doc tors and advertised remedies without bene tt. Three years ago my condition was alarming; the least noise would startle and unnerve me. I was unablo to sleep, had a number of sinking spells and slowly grew worse. I began using Dr. Miles' Kesturatlvs Nervine and Nerve and Liver Tills. At flint the medicine seemed to have no effect, but after taking a few bottles I began to notice a change; 1 rested better at night, my appe tite began to improve and I rapidly grew better, until now 1 am as nearly restored to health as one of my age may expuct. tiod bless Dr.Mlles'Servlue." f L?l" M 4W.
