G. C. Smith, Charles Mous, W. I. Underwood, Committee. FOUR DAYS ON THE DESERT. Donnelly Barely Escapes From the Waterless Waste. San Francisco, Nov. 26. A dispatch from Randsburg, Cal., says that Felix Donnelly, who had wandered for four days and nights on the Mojave Desert and narrowly escaped death, reached there last night. Donnelly drove a horse to the Argus Mountains, seventy miles away across the desert. It was on his return trip that he missed the way. After driving all day and night he reached Sanders' well, only to find it dried up. His horse fell in the harness and, unhitching the animal, he spread some hay for it to eat, and himself set out on foot for El Paso Tunnel, where he knew there was water. H6 thought he knew the location of El Paso Moun tain, but became confused and wan dered in a big circle for three days and nights, when he dropped and lost consciousness. He was found with his head under a bush near the Keeler stage road. The days were terribly hot on the desert and only the cool nights saved his life. Plunker, Chuggs & Co. The Merrymakers presented the above comedy last night to a rather slim house, due to the downpour, doubtless. There was some very good buffoonery and two or three patches of clever acting. There was some dirt, lugged in,- as .usual, because it was dirt and not in the least funny, though the crowd laughed to prevent the awkward silence that follows a joke fallen flat. The crowd is always obliging in such particulars. Tonight the company will put on what they say is the best play they have given here. Ladies' free tickets with each paid thirty-cent ticket as heretofore. ALDERflEN flET LAST NIGHT, a And Transacted Special and Routine Business.

The matter was referred to the sewer committee. J. R. Mendenhall stated to the board that during the recent fire at South Elm and Lewis streets M. C. Kenley received injuries by burning in rescu ing some people from a building and has not been able to work for some time. He asked that the matter be re ferred to the fireman's committee to see if the city could not aid him; the matter was referred. D. W. Carl asked that the curbing be extended on Mebane street, and the matter was referred to the street com mittee. The special committee appointed to confer with Sheriff Hoskins regarding the ill conduct of prisoners in jail made a verbal report stating that they had seen the Sheriff and he had prom ised to use every lawful means to rem edy the evil. The Sheriff also requested that the committee heretofore appointed to confer with the board of County Com missioners with regard to the erection of a new jail appear before the com missioners with him at the next meeting- and press upon them the impor tance of a new structure. The com mittee was requested to appear.

Greensboro Men Preferred Creditors In a Virginia Assignment. A prominent lumber dealer of Char lottesville, Val, J. H. Nails, made an assignment on the 22nd which caught North Carolina men . to the tune of about four thousand dollars, two of our Greensboro firms being in the smash. R. W. Brooks is one of them and he is a creditor to the amount of about eight hundred dollars. The Guilford Lumber Company is in it for about the same amount. Capt. Billy Wil liams is also tied up to the tune of gome five or six hundred, while Messrs. Britton & Johnson, of Spout Springs, hold papers for twenty-seven hundred. Messrs. Brooks, Britton, and Mr. W. D. Mendenhall, of Guilford Lum ber Company, have gone to Char lottesville to look after their claims. A letter to these gentlemen from Mr. Nails tells them that their claims are among the first preferred creditors and we hope they will get their money. Second Entertainment.

The fire was confined to two rooms. PARKHURST COME BACK. By Wire to The Telbgbam. New York, Nov. 27 Dr. Parkhurst and wife arrived this morning on the White Star Line Steamship Adriatic. He appeared to be in good health but wore a look of disgust which .was at tributed to the result of the late cam paign. He said he was heart broken to come back and find the city at the mercy of the same gang from whose clutches it was wrested once before. THE CHIGNON COMING AGAIN. By Cable to Thb -Telegram. " - London, Nov.27 There is a marked change prevailing in the style of dress ing the hair indicating an inclination to return to the Chinon which was in vogue twenty years ago and dates back to the savage ages. "ACCOMMODATION. ' How it Was Years Ago and How it is Now. You've all heard of "accommoda tion" "trains. ' It is related -of the Egypt Coal Fields road from Fayette ville to Egypt (now Cumnock), since extended from the mountains to the sea which is now the Cape. Fear & Yadkin Valley, that years ago when Capt. Dave Jones was engineer, con ductor, mail agent, baggage master and all that, he used to stop his train and allow the passengers to' get off and pick blackberries. It is also related that the same train used to pick up eggs, butter and such things, at the farm houses along the route and carry them to Fayetteville, and that on one occasion when Capt. Dave stopped his train and walked a quarter of a mile for some eggs, the good old lady told him she only had twenty-three, but there was a hen on and if he would wait awhile he could get two dozen. And the story goes that the accommodating captain quietly took a seat on a stump in the yard and waited. He did not wait long before the lively cackling of the old speckled hen an nounced the fact that the required, egg to complete the two dozen awaited him. Placing them in his little basket he went back through the fields : to his train, tooted the whistle, pulled the bell rope and rolled away without a murmur from the passengers who had patiently waited. : This may or may "not be true, but the writer once heard it told in the presence of the genial captain and he didn't deny it, po we take it that there is some truth in it. ' While making a trip this week over the new road, the Durham and Char lotte , we saw an act of accommodation that is worthy of praise. The road is now operated about fifteen miles, from Gulf up into Moore county, and after leaving Gulf there are no connections to make, and there is plenty of time. A few miles out from Gulf an old field was on fire, and a fence running through it nearby the railroad -track was burning up. When near the spot Engineer Wilcox stopped the train and with the crew put out the. fire with pine bushes and water from the tender. It did not inconvenience any one and no one aboard grumbled at the delay, but rather approved Jhe work of the train people in putting out the fire, which if allowed to burn a little longer would have been beyond con trol and would have wrought much damage to fences and other property.
