DEATH CAME QUICK AN D
UNEXPECTED.
The Old Lady Taken Unawares in an
Unavoidable AcelcivnfOn the Oan

ilody Badly Manslod-i Horrible
Scene.
At 12:20, o'clock today (Saturday)
a horrible accident occurred on the
railroad sidetrack at Cannonville,
where the Cannon and Odell siding
leaves the main line. -
. . . '
The victim of this horrible acci
dent was a widow lady, Mrs. Lizzie
Bonds, 59 years of age and who
lived with Rush Sherrill, just across
the track from where the killing
occurred. The particulars are about
as follows:
Mrs. Bonds was returning to her
home from carrying dinner of Mr.
Sherrill, who works at the Cannon
mills'.-' Her most direct route" from
the mill home was out Mill street
extension, which ends at the place
where she met her death, thence
down the track. Mrs. Bonds bad
not been blessed with the best of
health for several years and was
slightly deaf. She was wearing an
old-time sunbonnet and was facing
the wind, and quite naturally car
rying her head with the face toward
The ground.
Capt. EI Patterson's train was
throwing in a car at the bleachery
and from neccessity detached the
three, box ,cars from the engine,
which had by the time they reached
the bend in the track, gained con
siderable speed. A brakeman, Jule
Hargra?e, was on the car next to
the woman, but owing ' to the ob
struction to the view by the ware
house between the cars and the
victim, Jule did not see the woman
until within a few feet of her. He
hollered, but of no avail. He could
not stop the cars until the poor old
woman was mangled beneath the
wheals.
Messrs. H J Dix and W A Russell
were standing in the door at the
bleachery and saw the whole affair;
These gentlemen told a Standard
reporter that the three cars were
going down the track at a moderate
speed, and just as the woman stepped
on to the track the cars f were within
a few yards of her. She was carry
ing several pieces of plank, which
fell on- thek outside of the track
while she was knocked flat between
the rails when the car struck her.
There were no brakes on the front
end of the car, but on the rear
trucks the brakes caught the wo
man, striking -her head first and
throwing her body under the wheels.
Her head was mashed into crumbs,
while her body was terribly man
gled. Death was instantaneous
This marks the first fatality on
this siding, and is greatly deplored.
The accident, under the circum
stances, was an unavoidable one.
Mrs. Bonds was the mother of
Mr. Cicero Bonds, a . we'ltaoao.
farmer, who lives at Poplar Tent.
The remains of the dead woman
w ere taken charge of by relatives
ana conveyed to the home of Mrs,
Matthew Safrif, A V
I Capt. Patterson and his crew were
completely overcome by the acci
dent, and lingered around the scene
f tv several hours. 4 .
'Tis a sad ending for an old .and
feeble weman.

ROWAN homicide;

Barber-rnrsingr InsuKs Brings Rel
sentment That Aceidentally Turns
Into Slaying-.
From the Salisbury World we
learn that Robert Jones, colored,
was shot and instantly killed by
Esquire EdBarber,-near Cleveland,
Rowan county, Wednesday night.
The fac's connected .with the
case seem to be about as follows :
Jones was a tenant of Mr. Barber's
and living on Mr, Barber's land.
The house in which he lived was
about 200 yards from Mr. Barber's
house. A difference arose about
some local affairs and Jones was at
Mr. Barber's at a corn "shucking.
Feelings 6f warmth arose and Jones
went off cursing Barber all the 'way
home and there became more vio
lent. Mr. Barber ordered him to
desist from his insults and with his
shot gun in hand proceeded to
enforce the demand w hen Jones be
came more fierce instead of becom
ing quiet. Mr. Barber struck Jones
with the muzzle of bis gun when,
to his horror the'gnn fired, blowing
off the top of Jone's head and kill
ing him; instantly. Mr. Barber
proceeded te Salisbury and employed
Lawyers Overman arid Clement and
secreted himself till further deveU
opments.
A coroner's jury rendered a ver
diet of accidental homocide.
Mr. Barber is highly esteemed in
his neighborhood and much regret
is felt for the unfortunate partici
pants in this calamity. , '

The Show.
We are pleased with the Bslford
show. - ;
The acrobatic performances are
amazing and display the possibih
ties of the human body when sub
jected to thorough training, and
they tend to heighten our concep
tions of man physically, in harmony
with man intellectually.
The contortions einke us up in
oar ideas of man's construction and
we wonder that there are not differ,
ent anatomical classifications of the
human body that treat of one kind,
of joints, tendons and muscles for
common people and another kind of
joint for such as Mr. Crawford; "
"A little nonsense now and then
is relished by the best of men" and
the clown makes you laugh at him
and then laugh at yourself for do
i is so. 1
But we have no terms in which
to speak our praises for Mr. Burr's
band. It is simply superb and we
are glad that '' Concord is being
treated to music of such high order.
We rarely have an opportunity to
Uten to such flowing harmony and
such pleasing rhythm.

and chaste and needs no menagerie

are not religiously opposed to shows.
