Drank Carbolic.
This morning about ten o'clock the
18-months old little boy of Mr. Harper
J. Elam, in some way managed to get
hold of a bottle of carbolic acid and
before it was discovered had drank a
portion of its contents and spilled the
rest on its clothing.
It is not known how much of the
fiery fluid the little fellow swallowed,
but little hope is entertained for his
recovery. He seemed to be resting a
little easier just after noon. We
deeply sympathize with the family in
the unfortunate occurrence, and sin
cerely hope the light and joy of the
fond parents may be spared to them.

ingnot too quietly. Officer Jordan

up with him, but just then the man re
membered that he was half an hour
overdue at home and told the officer
he must go. Officer Jordan turned
him loose and he wended his way
homeward

ADMIRAL SAMPSON WRATHY
Oyer the Delay In Sending Him
Reinforcements,
HE PRAISES HOBSON'S WORK.
Convoys Chase Spanish Spooks
Around Gulf Fortress Monroe
Quieted Off to Manila.
By Wire to Thk Tklbgbam.
Washington, June 11 A long
cipher dispatch from Admiral Samp
son was received this morning at the
navigation bureau. The despatch is
dated from Port Antonio and is said
to contain news of utmost importance.
It is known that the delay in sending
troops to him to assist in holding the
ground and the necessity of daily
bombarding Santiago and the adjacent
points to prevent the mounting of guns
and defenses by the Spaniards have
greatly irritated the admiral. The
cipher message is Supposed to deal
with this phase of the situation and to
strongly urge upon the department the
expediency of hasty action. The ad
miral also communicated to the navy
department the number and names of
the ships of his fleet that he has sent
to meet and reinforce the convoys.
The newest plan of the administration
which contemplates the holding of
troop ships near Key West until Mon
day does not meet the approval of
Sampson. He wants the transports to
sail for Santiago immediately so that
he will not be under the necessity of
having to reduce the fortifications one
day and on- the next day do his work
over again because of the lack of
troops.
SCARE SUBSIDES.
Newport'News , June 11 A despatch
received here from Washington, serv
ed to quiet the excitement at Fortress
Monroe caused by the report that sev
eral Spanish warships had been seen
off the Capes. The despatch said that
only one vessel, and that one proba
bly a German freighter, had been
sighted. The officers continue vigi
lant.
HEALTH SATISFACTORY.
Key West, June 11 The wet season
began with last night's showers which
were refreshing to everybody and
everything. This morning's advises
from Cuba state that the health of the
sailors of the fleet continues satisfac
tory. Only 48 cases and one serious
are in the four hospitals.
POT CALLS KETTLE BL A CK .
Washington, June 11 All operations
against the Spaniards in Cuba remain
suspended while the convoys chase
spook Spanish ships around the gulf.
The war department is indignant at
the timidity of the navy department.
Secretary Long says convoys will re
turn in time for the troop ships to
start tomorrow. The first part of the
second Manila expedition is expected
to sail from San Francisco today.
PRAISES HOBSON.
Washington. June 11 In his report
on the sinking of the Merrimac Admi
ral Sampson says: "I cannot too
earnesty express my appreciation of
the conduct of Mr. Hobson and his
gallant crew. I venture to say that a
more brave and daring thing has not
been done since Cushing blew up
the Albemarle. Referring to the in
spiring letter which you addressed to
the officers at the beginning of the
war, I am sure you will offer suitable
professional rewards to Mr. Hobson
and his companions. I must add that
Commander Miller relinquished com
mand of the vessel with the greatest
reluctance believing he would return
his command under all circumstances.
He was however finally convinced that
for another person to attempt to carry
out a multitude of details which had
been prepared by Mr. Hobson might
endanger the proper execution of the
plan. There were hundreds of volun
teers anxious to participate. There
wero a hundred and fifty from the
Iowa, nearly as many from the New
York and large numbers from all the
other ships. Officers and men alike
volunteered their services."
THIRD PHILIPPINE EXPEDITION.
San Francisco, June 11 There is a
rumor current that Camp Merritt will
be removed to Presidio but upon in
vestigation it was proven to be un
founded. The third expedition that
sails for the Philippines will be com
posed of United States regulars. The
volunteer regiments are rapidly being
recruited to the regular war strength.
The transports that will compose the
troop squadron are the Para, Ohio,
Indiana, Victoria, Olympia, Arizona
and City of Pueblo.

ALMOST A COINCIDENCE.
Reminded of an Accident Which Hap
pened Thirty-Seven Years Ago.
In speaking of the recent accident
to Lieutenant Colonel Cowles, on
Hlllsboro street, Raleigh, in which his
leg was broken by his horse falling on
him. Mr. T. T. Brooks of this city,
tells us that in 1861 a similar accident
happened to Lieutenant Colonel Harry
Burgwyn on the same . street in Ral
eigh. Colonel Burgwyn's horse fell
with him and instead of a leg his col
lar bone was broken.
Then, as at this time, North Caro
lina troops were encamped at Raleigh.
Zeb Vance was colonel of the famous
96th and Harry Burgwyn was lieuten
antjolonel. Now,W.H. S. Burgwyn,
a brother of Harry is colonel of the
2nd regiment and Cowles is lieutenant
colonel. Mr. Brooks belonged to the
26th and remembers the incident well.
It is a coincidence in that the accident
happened to officers of the same rank,
on the same street and in the same
manner by the falling of a horse.
Hunting for Recruits.
The vestibule at noon today brought
a party of lieutenants and sergeants
from Jacksonville who are go'ing back
to their respective states for recruits.
The companies at Jacksonville must
be recruited to 109 men each. Some
of these officers were from New York,
New Jersey, Virginia and North Car
olina. The North Carolina party was
composed of Second Lieutenant T. B.
Christian, of Durham; First Sergeant
C. C. Bunce, of Raleigh; First Ser
geant Hutton, of Goldsboro; First
Sergeant Oldham, of Durham, and a
sergeant from Rei Isville. The North
Carolina boys changed cars here for
Raleigh. They report only two men
sick in the North Carolina regiment,
but not seriously. They hope to re
turn to Jacksonville with the required
number in about three weeks, though,
of course, it is impossible to say how
soon they will be raised.
Bad management b-eeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when a favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage of
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy in the
house, the shiftless fellow will wait
until necessity compels it and then
ruin his best horse going for a doctor
and have a big doctor bill to pay, be
sides; one pays out 25 cents, the other
is out a hundred dollars and then
wonders why his neighbor is getting
richer while he is getting poorer.

New York, June. 11 Sir Thomas

morning. He said all England was
intensely interested in the war and
that Englishmen would not allow any
interference by the powers. England
will attend to the European nations
leaving the Americans to deal with
Spain just exactly as she sees fit. If
it should become necessary England
will send one hundred thousand sol
diers to the assistance of America. We
do not believe that there will be any
call upon us as the whole world knows
nothing can win against America.

MURDER IN NEW YORK.
Body of Jos. Brltz Found Floating in
East River.
By Wire to Thk Telegram.
New York, June 11 The body of a
man, five feet, ten inches long with
dark hair and complexion and appa
rently about 28 years old, was found
floating in East river at six o'clock
this morning. The arms and legs of
the body were tightly pinnioned by a
rope wrapped many times around the
body and tied in several knots between
the shoulder blades. The face was
badly cut and much bruised. It is be
lieved that it is the body of Joseph
Britz, of Brooklyn, who disappeared
on June 1st, with six hundred dollars
belonging to his father. From the
appearance of his body it is thought
that Britz was murdered.
Another flurder.
By Wire to THE Telegram.
New York, June 11 The body of
a man five feet, six inches high, weigh
ing 150 pounds, with gray beard and
hair, and apparently about sixty years
old, was found in the woods near
Jamaica this morning. The body was
clothed only in a suit of underwear
and was badly decomposed.
Roosting oh Uncle Samuel.
A day or two ago attention was
called to the crowd of negroes who loaf
on the stone coping around the post
office. It is a nuisance and as such the
town has a right to put a stop to it. It
is trespassing on government property
the postoffice authorities in this in
stance, have a .right to stop it. We
know it is objectionable because any
number of people of both sexes have
said so. If the crowd were clean and
quiet it might be borne but when the
loafers swear without regard to the
passing of ladies and convert the side
walk into a cuspidor the citizens of the
town have a right to demand that the
practice be stopped. We feel sure
that .neither Postmaster Glenn nor the
police authorities will permit the con
tinuance of this nuisance when their
attention is called to the fact that it is
a thoroughly superfluous annoyance to
every woman and man who has occa
sion to enter the postoffice.
KILLED BY THE TRAIN.
Went to Sleep on the Trackand Never
Awoke. -
Special to The Telegram.
Reidsville.N. C, June 11 The north
bound passenger train last night about
twelve o'clock ran over and killed Nat
Bo rum about six miles from this place.
The facts in the case, so far as we qpn
learn, are as follows:
A party was given last night at the
residence of Mr. Dick Stokes, at Ruf
fin, and quite a number of young peo
ple attended, among the number were
two sisters of Borum. About eleven
o'clock young Borum went to Mr.
Stokes' to accompany his sisters home
and as the party had not broken up
and having on his everyday clothes,
Borum decided to remain on the out
side and await his sisters. It is sup
posed that he sat on the railroad track,
which is just in front of Mr. Stokes'
house, and fell asleep. The roar of
the train failed to awake him and when
the party finally ended his torn and
mangled body was found strewn up
and down the track. Borum was a
young man, hardly out of his teens,
and had held in high esteem by all
who knew him. He will be buried at
his home near Ruffin this afternoon.
