MURDERED WHILE ON DUTY A FLAOHAN IS KILLED AT DUNN BY A TRAMP. The Young Man Dies Soon After he is WoundedBloodhounds Put in Pursuit of Murderer. We learn of a very distressing ab cident which occurred at Dunn, a lit tle town north of Fayetteville, late on Saturday afternoon. Two tramps, a nesrro and a white man, were stealing a ride on a passes ger train of the A. C. L. At Dunn they were discovered by the, conductor, who - attempted to put them off , but the tramps had no idea of getting off and showed fight. They were getting the best of the conductor, when the flagman took a hand in the scuffle. The negro picked up a coupling pin and started to brain the flagman, and while the flagman was . defending him self from the negro, the white tramp turned loose the conductor, stepped off a few paces and fired, the ball taking effect in the bowels of the flagman. Both tramps . then ran off beforeany of the trainmen could capture them. The wounded young man was put on the train and brought to Fayetteville. He bled profusely and died just as the train reached Fayetteville. A pair of blood-hounds was procur ed as early as possible, and yesterday .morning the dogs, with officers of the law, were sent to the scene of the mur der. We learn that the hounds struck the trail of the fiends, but had not caught them at last accounts. Railroad men are justly indignant over this outrage, and should the mur derer , be captured he might meet with summary punishment. SUNDAY AT MUIR'S CHAPEL. Good Attendance at the. Camp fleet ingSome Fine Preaching. As has .been the custom for years, many Greensboro people went out to Muir's Chapel yesterday to attend the camp meeting. Other places were well represented, though it is said the crowd was not so large as it ofien is. The Biblical Institute at Guilford College kept many away. Rev. -P. J. Carroway , the venerable and beloved presiding elder, preached one of his usual fine sermons in the morning at 11 o'clock. It is said to have been a strong and; forceful ser mon, listened to wxth interest by the large congregation . in tne afternoon Rev. N. R. Rich ardson, of High Point, preached a sermon full of power and the Holy Ghost. Mr. Richardson is not now in the regular work of the ministry, be ing the colpoitage agent for the West em JNortn (Jnrolma Conference, but he has lost none of his zeal and preach ed yesterday with the same fervor and effectiveness as of yore.- Presiding Elder Carraway preached again at night. The camp meeting will continue through this week, we suppose, and many Greensboro people will doubt less attend. Several families from the city are camping 0n the grounds dur ing the meeting. They are comfort ably domiciled in snug log cabins erected for camping purposes. Sorry to Lose Him. Mr. A. B.

C. A. Bray has bought his brother's interest in the business of Bray Bros, though the firm name will remain un changed. SUNDAY IN THE MEADOW. The Usual Sunday Performance Beer Bottles in the Plav. ' As is usually the case, the Sabbath stillness was disturbed and the Holy Day desecrated by fights among the denizens of that section known as the "Meadows" yesterday. The ball was started rolling early in the morning by two colored women who gave a before breakfast perform ance. The princial weapons used in this early morning combat were beer bottles. No serious damage was done, though the women pummelled each other over the head to their heart's content. Late yesterday afternoon a man and a woman became engaged in a quar rell that resulted in the, woman being beat and bruised up by" the man. These weekly occurrences are a dis grace to our city, and it seems to us that some means could be devised to break up these vile dens of iniquity. about people you know.
