Thinks the Least Said the Better
A Telegram reporter asked Mr. W.
W. Wood today, what about the slan
der case? - He replied by saying: "I
have no grievance and no complaint
ticlsms In the press, beleiving that
the least said at this time the better
for the public welfare. 1 do not think
it in good taste to speak of it as the
High Point scandal, in a way to re
flect unfavorably upon that communi
ty, which Is a part and parcel of our
county, of which we have much cause
to be proud,"
A Correction.
In The Telegram yesterday the type
writer made a mistake of one hour In
the time of the Saturday afternoon
tTe Feopla San. It
ahould have read from to 7 o'clock,
STORM AT PITTSBURG.
The Wind Reached a Velocity
of 90 Miles.
Pittsburg,June 26. The storm which
struck Pittsburg and vicinity this af
ternoon was short in' duration.but ter
rific in power and disastrous in effect.
The lightning and thunder was practi
cally continuous for about 30 minutes,
and wind attaining a velocity of JO.
miles an hour and .46 inch of rain
fell. The temperature fell 24 degrees
within an hour. One woman was kill
ed instantly by lightning and -several
ether persons may die from the same
cause; numberless houses and church
es were struck by lightniug and sev
eral picnic parties were panic- strick
en. The waters rushed down the hills
around Homestead and literally en
gulfed the town. The extent of damage
done there is the worst in the history
of the town and will reach many thous
ands of dollars in property loss. Be
sides the numerous houses that were
partially wrecked, four steel bridges of
the Monongahahela street railway were
washed out. At South avenue park, at
the end of the Suburban Traction
Company's line, a picnic party ocni
posed of 1,200 persons, 700 of whom
were children, gathered in the danc
ing pavilion for shelter from the stcrm.
Lightning struck a tree within ei.r:ht
feet of the pavilion and set fire to the
structure. The picnickers were panic-stricken,
women .fainted, children
screamed and even the men in tue
party gave way to their fright. Fortu
nately the heavy rain extinguished the
ames and although a large number of
the party were more or less hurt In
ihe panic, none were seriously injured.
A similar panic ensued at St . Jos
eph's Paroachial School, on Mount
Olive, where commencement exerciser
were being held. The hall was filled
with children and their parents when
the lightning struck the building, tear
ing a portion of the roof away. No
fatalities resulted.
Suspected of Murder
Correspondence of The Telegram.
High Point. June 27. This morning
about 9 o'clock Ed Thomas, son of Mr.
Ped C. Thomas, of Thomasville, was
found alongside ther ailroad two miles
south of here, dead. Close to him was
a gallon jus of whiskey, a pistol, an
empty beer bottle with an opener, and
In his coat pocket an opened knife.
His body was badly mangled. I learn
that there Is suspicion of murder; that
Is Is- probable the young men was first
killed, then placed on the track for
the train to run over so as to cover up
the deed. A coroner's Inquest had not
been held at thlt writing. The father

Yesterday forenoon as a freight
train was running from Danville and
was Just the other side of Milton, N.
C, on the Atlantic and Danville
branch, a little negro playing beside
tho track got bewildered at suddenly
realizing the nearness of the train and
gine. Wonderful to relate the cow
catcher threw him well to one side in
the ditch, and when the engine was
stopped and the crew ran back, the
youngster was found with a bloody
nose and mouth, but no serious inju
ries and no bones broken. He was
thoroughly scared, however, and will
give the track a wide berth for a time.
Every woman his two particular
men-rone that she thinks she is ia love

A REH KABLE CAREER
! Probably the Richest Colored
Ulan In America a Visitor in
Danville.
Danville Register.
Probably the wealthiest colored mai
in Amercia was in the city yesterday
He was born a slave in Henry coun
ty sixty-four years ago. By ownership
his name would be Edward Abington,
but like many others of his race, he
preferred that of his slave father and
took the name of Edward Dill.va
'Dr." Edward Dillard, as his friends
style him, he having been a succss
fdl druggist in Chicago for several
years of his wonderfully prosper-.s
career.
The father and mother of the doctor
wns at one tirae onwed by Captain H.
C. France, and a sister of his was
owned by J. H. Schoolfield. Dil
jard himseic was' owned by Mrs. l.u
cindy Abington, who still resides in
Henry cour.ty.
Edward made his escape from sla
very in 186c, passing through the hos
tile lines, made his way to Pittsburg
where he made $2.50 a day shoveling
pig iron and lived on 30 conts a day
until he had saved up $1,400, when
he bought a horse and cart, and begun
the peddling of coal, working in fie
day and studying at night. Hav
ing added to his capial while i'
the coal business he went to Chicago
and opend a drug store. He employ
ed a capable drug clerk, whose du
ties were to wait on customers and
teach the proprietor the druggists' art.
His establishment was burned in the
great Chicago fire; but he was saved
tr.ora loss and made a little better oif
by an insurance policy of $10,000.
He again opened up in the drug busi
ness, but soon sold out for $22,000
cash. He then went to Autrialia and
embarked in the cattle business rais
ing, buying and shipping cattle. He
would buy and ship as many as 6,000
head a month to Liverpool, making
large profits n each shipment.
In the meantime, he had purchased,
years before, a piece of suburban real
estate then near but now in the
heart of the City of Chicago, and for
which he has recently refused an ofTer
of more than $200,000. He also owns
a valuable estate in Australia. While
in the city yesterday he deposited with
the Citizens' bank two drafts on the
Melbourne, Australia, bank for thirty-seven
thousand dollars.
When he took his departure, from
Henry a little more than thirty-seven
years ago, he left behind him a son
and daughter. His miwion im Tii
ginia was to find them. They had
not heard from him for years. He
readily fouma eoth living in Reids
ville, N. a
Dr. Dillard says he will mot xeiurn
to Australia, but will aiepeee of his
holdings there and henaefeita five and
die in old Virginia.
