AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
.1
a Well Caves In and TwoColored Men
Are Entombed Beueatti tlie Debris.
From tha Lexington Dispatch by
supplement we jearn tht Wednes
day mornicg about 11 o'clock the
wall of the well in the rear of the
Hotel March caved in, and two men
were burled in the debris.
Jtfl Holmes, a worthy old colored
well-digger, arid Ed. Culberson,
another colored nun. wer at wnrt
making the well deeper, when the
walls suddenly collapsed burying
them under about 12 feet of dirt.
An alarm was immediately giyen
and hundreds of peoje hurried to
number of persons
to the well and could
plainly hear the groans and cries of
the entombed men. Eyery'one that
could posaiblyj aid went to work
strengthening the walls and trying
to remove thejdirt from over the
men, but in all probability ere this
can be accomplished ihe men will
die, as it is not thought they can
secure enough air to keep them alive
even' if they were not fatally hurt by
the cave in. ' V -
We learn too ay (Thursday) that
the bodies were taken out hat night
about 11:30 o'clock. Both were
dead, but Culberson's body was still
warm. ! Their bodies were found
standing together by" the pump in
the centre of the well. The gioans
of one of the men were heard by the
rescuers till about two hours before
they reached the bodies

A Person Who Was hald to Be Very
vrazy is ot Crazy AfUr All.
Ik wiU fee I remembered that the
County Commissioners, upon request
of some pariiea before them, admit
ted a 5oung married woman named
Lovenia Crayton to ' the county
nome. Sue is the wife of Mr. Will
Crayton, of No. 9 township, and Mr.
Crayton represented her before the
County Commissioners as a raving
maniac, while Superintendent Barn
hardt informs us, after consulting
with Dr. J S Lifferty, that her mind
is not effected. It is true the. woman
is ignorant, but according; to her
statement she. has suffered more
from abuse by her husbind than
from anything eke. v
Five strong men, Mr. Will Cray
ton nd his brother, John Starnes
and, turo others brought her.to the
county home. They did not even
help Mr. Barnhardt to take her out
of the buggy, ; pretehding-that they
did not care toN handle her Jn;the
outset they told Mr. Barnhardt that
cney naa tooled her irt order 'to get
her here
t Mrs. C 'on says that these men
told her that they ere bringing her
to a trial as a witness In a little
difficulty that her. husband had had
but when they arrived at the county
home she '. realiz ?d where they were
taking her. Upon finding out that
she was charged of being crazy, and
would have to be confined in a room
to herself and separated from her
husband, she screamed ana?" talked

To Jay (Thursday) itil:30 o'clock
the dry kiln of Robert 4 W'Sifrit &
Co. caught fire and was almost com
pletely burned. They h aye at - their
frtabli8hmenl' both a steam and w,obtf

the kiln four plrre days,' and this
morning they jaad intended taking it
oit, bat then decided that they
would let it remain a while longer.
By some means the fire became too
ho1, and at the above mentioned
hour they found U in flames. .
' The kiln la tolerablv clojeo the
main building, "where they have
quite a lot of machinery j but fortu
nately it did not' catch fire. The
lumber made an intensely bot fire, so
much bo that the telephone wire
leading to Concord wa9 melted arart.
It was soon men'v ed, however, and
tne news fient to ns. . i- -
The kiln contained quite: a good

to ba about $50.
