At one of the broken windows Mrs. General W B Pender, of Tarboro, was sitting, and the bullet passed but a few inches from hor face. Her lap 'was fill ed with broken glass. The second bullot went through a gentleman's hat, almost scrap ing his head. There is no duo to the perpe trator of the crime, though the Southern,, assisted by the police authorities at Mebane and near by towns, is doing all in its dower to bring the guilty scoun drel to justice. It was not his fault that his dastardly work did not rosuit in a double murder and if caught ho will bo roughly handled. Four CupturiMl But Released.

Hicks, the weather man, says toeptemoer is tne month in which the season shifts to oppo site ends of our little terrestrial sphere and ono must look for great and violent activity among the elemental forces. The first storm period for September lies between the 2nd and 7th. Dur ing the first part of the period a warm wave will move out from the western part of the conti nent, and it depends upon either continental or equatorial storms whother the wave will be fol lowed by warm or cooler weather. Tho globe will pass through a magnetic crisis from about tho 9th to 15th. As this will be special perturbation, there will be magnetic and eloc trical phenomena out of the nor mal order. We can also look for phenomally warm weather, Meteorological porturbation touching 17th, 18th and 19th. Se vere and dangerous equinoctial storms not improbable. Look for sudden change to cooler. Re actionary storm period, 22nd; marked storm condition, 20th to 24th, and dangerous gales prob able on land and sea. Storm pe riod likely about 27th to 29th." It will be noted that the first storm period, from the 2nd to the 7th, has not quite hit the mark. It Wine the Cake. The Fayette, Mo., Democrat- Banner is entitled to the cake. You will agree with us when you read the following : The horrible news comes from 'Free State' that a young man climbed a cornstalk last Monday to see how the ears wore getting along, and now tho corn is growing up faster than he can climb down. Three mon have undertook to cut down tho stalk, but owing to its rapid growth it s feared that they will not suc ceed in time to prevent the young man's death by starvation.

The Agricultural and Mechani cal College opened today with 148 students. The dormitories are said to be about full. Twenty five out of 171 failed to pass the examination Wednesday.

Probably 50 persons were in jured in a roar end collision on the Baltimore and Ohio toiiiprht at Connollsville station. The presence of mind of tho engineer saved the lives of many. Many of tho injured continued on their journey and their names could not bo learned. The first sec tion of train No. 5, and a special of eight Wagner cars, ran into tho rear end of the Cumberland accommodation. lioth trains were westbound. Enpinoer Mur ray, of the emigrant train, lost control of his engine, the air brake refused to work, and crushed into tho rear end of tne accommodation, which was standing in front of the station and was crowded with passen gers. Engineer Ilaggerty, who was oiling his engine, threw the throttle wide open seeing the runaway train coming. The ac commodation train lurched for ward, but not quick enough to escape a collision. The crash was terrific, Two coaches of the accommodation wore wrecked the rear end of the last one being crushed as though it had been an egg shell. None of the passen gers on tho through train wore severly injured. What the Matter Was. You "can't always sometimes just tell" why it is so nor just what is the matter with you un der such circumstances but this is cause and effect with the Groensboro Telegram : Tho monotony of scratching quills and clicking types in the Telegram office was momentarily relieved this morning by an influx of femininity, the peculiar like of which seldom falls to the lot of earthly print shops. It was an invasion of young girls having all the insanity-provoking qualities of Elysian houris, with hair and eyes that would have driven Apollo wild with hopeless grief, and forms suf ficient to cause the bonding lily to droop away and die. They tarried but a moment, and the air, "like a chartered libertino," stood still lulled by tho divine melody of their silver throats. Journalism shrieked with agony at its inability to then and there grasp forever, world without end, the ineffable felicity that the presence of the visitors in spired. A heavenly crash mur muring, dulcet-trilled words, a divino flash of tho rhetoric of pleading eyes a hop, a skip, a jump and a good-bye the next moment they were gone, leaving that gloom which a suddon burst of goldon sunshine from a storm cloud loaves when it returns to its etherial realms hid from mor tal eye. ouch is life.

The Durham Recorder gives tho following most valuable remedy, if reality, and very harmless rocoipe, if not what is claimed: Cholera (so-callod) is dotroy ing largo numbers 01 hogs at various points in this and neigh boring States. For years, thi writer has been convinced, from practical observation, that this disease is a misnomer, that it is worms, and tho preventative and remedy is wood ashos. Mix the ashes in thoir food, and empty the ashes and coals where the hogs can have free access to them, and tho danger of 'hog cholera' is effectually ruined. Don't empty the hot ashes and coals in the hog pen. To do so would most likely rosuit in a repetition of a case that oc currod in Granville county a few years ago, where a pen of five hogs wore cremated. A LIFE AND DEATH FIGHT. Mr. W.

Wednesday afternoon a nogro woman was tried in court for re ceiving stolen goods, knowing them to have boon stolen, her husband having been convicted of the offence. Major Stedman appeared for her and made a most capital speech before the jury.

The woman was then discharged. She camo out of the prison dock and mado for tho door.

There was a very sad scene in tho court house last Monday, A fallen woman, taken for her evil doing, was brought from her home in tho country to answer for her crime, committed with a man of another raco. On the woman's face was written her character, That woman had once beon a pure and virtuous girl but from her faco was gone every mark of beauty, every trace of feminine loveliness and grace A fallen woman ! Her cheeks and lips bearing the impress of hor sin, her very soul lust-sca rod. Has earth a picture more pitiablo than a woman fallen from angolic heights of purtty, virtue and all that makes woman hood lovely and beautiful ? Poor, sinful woman, 6ho is justly mado to suffer before the tribunal of justice for her crimes. Hearing the charges against tho woman of whom we write, wo wont in imagination to another court.

Moses aud the law were quouted by the hard- learted, prejudiced mob demand ing the poor fallen woman's life.
