Crawford and M. S. Belk, two of the Southern's force at Spencer, had nar row escape from death: They stood between, two tracks and did not observe an approaching freight from an oppo site direction. As the train passed them a t dox car lurched to one side and knocked both Messrs.

Chambers got the worst of the fight. He was shot at 'three times b Rushing. Two balls took effect, a friend writes us, one in the shoulder and the other in his pbckr et book doing no serious damage to the contents thereof, but spoiling a good pocket book., In addition to the bullet wound Reese has a very deep gash about, four inches long in his leg. Rush fing took leg bail fSnd up to date has not been heard frpm. -1 , ' ; ; Newbern Journal: Mr. J. M. Howard, is a bicycle enthusiast, but he has not let his enthusiasm-grow to no purpose. In this vicinity there grows what Is known a the Bottle Gum or Cupola Gum tree, and Mr. Howard being both of an inquiring and inventive, mind found that the wood of this tree, when dried, was very light and durable, and being a bicycle, enthusiast he thought why -would hot this wood make splen did handle bar for a bicycle? ! And put ting his thought into execution he sent some of this Cupola Gum wood to! the manufacturer and had some specimen handle bars made, which cin be seen at his store. This Wood makes an ex cellent . substitute for cork, it does ' not chip, is very light and is more durable. Greensboro Record: The pop -cracker, ordinance seems to have worked to peEr fection. On South' Elm Christmas j.ev.e' night everything Was quiet and orderly, save for the boys and their horns. Allen Payne, the barber, was shot and ingMCITHy kjlled y Henry Cole. Both are young""colored boys, only about 22 years old. and were said to be close friends. The! first version , of the kill ing was that the two boys were down town, where they ran across another boy living in theirneigheborhood, who appeared to be very drunk; .that Payne '.and Cole started home with him, i but had an idea he was shamming and that he. was not as drunk as he appeared, so Cole concluded to see and with this end in view said to Payne, "let's wake him up." i and with this drew a pistol from his pocket, ostensibly to fire-in! the' air, but in some way it went off, hit ting -Payne near the centre of the fore-r head and killing him almost instantly. " Raleigh News and Observer: It, would seem that a, good many others besides democrats -will be in the humor' to go on that littlesalt river . excursion, which the victors always arrange for the other fellows- rovernor-elect Russell evidently don't believe in giv ing the colored brother an opportunity to show that he can out dance the bal ance" of mankind to which accomplish ment the colored brother lays claim. Dr., Alderman has been in charge of the state univeristy .since August X5th5but his formal inauguration as' president will not take place, until January j27th, when that occasion will .be- made a function of more than ordinary interest and impressiveness. . Judge ; Russell, who . is a university alumnus, will in duct' the. new president into office. An elaborate programme has been-arranged for the event, and a large attend ance of the alumni and friends' of j the univeristy are expected to be present. Among th distinguished visitors will be the eminent : Dr. William R. Harper, president of the Chicago university, and Dr. J. L. M. Curry, president of j the board of trustees , of the, Peabody fund. Charlotte Observer: Yesterday morn ing early the news ejame to town that little Martha Moore; daughter of Mr and Mrs. D. C. Moore, of Cluster, would not live through the day. But later in the day the happy news came of a sue cessful operation by Drs. Wilder, Win chester, De Armond and Hunter, had saved the little gfcrl her life. Last Wed nesday 'evening, while playing With some, corn, Martha swallowed a grain or two. She-began to catch her breath, short, as if she were choked, soon after handling the corri. ; Her mother became alarmed, and brought.' her to town. Drs. Winchester and Graham examined her, and decided that there was i no horn in her throat: But she grew sick er from day to day, till early yesterday J her life was despaired of. The f pur doctors mentioned above held a consul tation and conclude to cut into the child's throat and see if there was any thing there. ' Dr. Wilder, ripe from the Houston ease." at once said that . the little girl had something in her-throat. He'used the khife; and the grain of corn flew out on the floor.

Let no, backward steps be taken. Winston Republican. New York Stock Market. New York, December 31. Speculation at the stock exchange today was 'Char acterized by extreme dullness. The good feeling that prevailed at ! the close yesterday, on account of the sharp rise in Sugar, disappeared at the opening of business this mornig, because of an utter absence of outside orders And a dispbsition on 'the part of the traders to turn paper profits into; cash. Sugar the Grangers, Louisville and Nashville, Manhattan and othfer leading shares yielded to li per cent, but subse quently Chicago Gas was taken in hand and advanced from 73 to 74. Man hattan also developed strength, rising from 88 to 90 on the refusal of Judge Truax to restrain payment of the divi dend. Near the close, the stock re ceded to 89 and Chicago Gas at the same time ran off to" 73. There were some important changes in the special ties. Big Four, preferred, 4sold at 74 and Brooklyn Union Gas at 8$, a drop of 10 and 6 points, respectively . from the last previously reported sales. To bacco, after declining 2 to 77, rallied, to: 78. .Consolidated Gas fell to 1374 and Delaware' and Hudson 2 tP 115. . The former closed at-138 and the latter at 116. Reading was rather stronger . than the rest of the list, ad vancing about to 1 point. Leather common, declined 1 to 8 and prefer-r red 2 to 59 on the death pf Mark Hoyt, the president of the company. The loss' was afterwards - partially re--covered. Long Island dropped 1 to 40 and subsequently sold at 43. In the late trading the market was entire ly destitute of feature and business came almost to a standstill. The total transactions were only 87,297 shares, in cluding 17,500 Sugar,, 6,700 Reading, 5,- 400 Burlington and Quincy and Tobacco 5,200. Speculation closed tolerably. firm.
