A FLAGMAN IS BADLY BRUISED. Two Cars Completely Wrecked Wa ter Tank Knocked Down The Debris Soon Cleared Away. Freight train No. 74 ran into a work train yesterday afternoon at Haw River completely wrecking two cars and knocking the water tank down. The flagman on the freight was badly bruised, but not seriously hurt. Reports are somewhat conflicting as to who is responsible for the accident. One report has it that the construe tion train standing on the main line had sent out a flagman, but that he was called in before the freight train was due. 'Another that the flagman placed torpedoes on the track, and was on duty himself to flag and did flag the approaching train, and that the engineer paid no attention to the signals but crashed into the work train with the result as stated. We rather discredit this last report. Placing the blame where it belongs, however, does not materially effect the consequen ces. ' The wreckage was soon cleared, and the train from the east was not de layed. A Point of Law. Greensboro, N. C, Sept. 21. 1897. To The Greensboro Evening Telegram. I ask for information relative to a law once on the statute of North Car olina prohibiting, minors using cigar ettes and dealers from selling or giv ing same to minors, Has it been re pealed? If not, how does it apply in the case of aipupil from South Greens boro attending the Normal Practice school having cigarettes among such boys as would use them, on the first day of the present term. Tax Payer. We are scarcely prepared to speak authoritively uponthe point here raised , but a prominent attorney gives it as his opinion that the intent of the law is'to prohibit the sale by dealers of cigarettes to minors and not the dis tribution of cigarettes by a boy among his companions, however reprehen sible that may be. Second Crop Ripe Berries. Dr. W. P. Bell brought into our office today a sprig of briar contain ing ripe blackberries, well grown and fully matured, which he plucked in the suburbs of Greensboro. This is a second crop of this berry, which is so prolific and valuable all over Piedmont Carolina. We have seen late peach, apple and pear blooms and occasionally a second growth or crop of small, knotty, imperfect fruit, but this is the first full grown specimen' of the blackberry we have heard of, and it proves that our climatic condi tions can't be beat. The Show. Another large audience was present at Dr. Blue Mountain Joe's show at West's Park last night. An entire change of program was presented, which furnished fun and amusement in large quantities too those who were present. A pleasing feature of last night's show was the rendition of "Plantation Echoes," introducing " Dixie, "( by the excellent orchestra. Dr. Blue Mountain Joe & Co. are making a favorable impression in Greensboro. Tonight an another change of program is presented. Penitentiary Finances.

Stannard, of this city, mana ger of the North Carolina Freight As sociation, yesterday presented the per tition for lower freight rates, to points in this State, to the Railroad Com mission. The petition claimed that there was discrimination in freight charges. Mr. Stannard claimed that the rates on raw cotton were too high as compared with the rates on the manufactured product. This complaint was answerd by the railroads by saying the raw material occupied more space than the manu factured articles and said that if the cotton would be so compressed as to occupy same space, then the same charges would be made for transpor tation. A number of prominent railroad of ficials were present at the hearing. : Hurricane In Florida. . JACKSONVILLE, f FHA. , Sept.'" 21. T'.
