The trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical College met in Raleigh last Thursday and established t he fol lowing chairs : Practical Mechanics and Mathematics ; English ; Agricul ture; Horticulture ; Aboriculture ; Bo tany and Chemistry. It was decided not to have a military course ol in struction. The professors and the president will not be chosen until the June meeting.

General William Ruffln Cox. of Edgecomb, returns to his home today, having prolonged his visit after dis charging the graceful duties of memo rial orator on Friday. General Cox is a son of whom North Carolina is justly proud. He was a good and gal lant soldier, and has been a most ex cellent citizen and public official. He was the best Chairman of the Demo cratic State Executive committee we ever had. He was an excellent Solici tor, and a good Judge. As a represen tative in Congress the State had .io better. He is now plain farmer Cox, and just as graceful and gallent, patri otic and heroic, as when he led the last charge made at Appomattox. Wilmington Messenger. A CATHOLIC fill EST AlfiltKS Tl I) V A KHKIOI'S C II A KG K. lie v. J. J. Boyle assistant pastor of the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart ' in Raleigh, was arrested and lodged in jail charged with the most heinous of fense in the whole catalogue of crimes, last Saturday evening. The victim of his assault was a Miss Geneva Whita kcr, aged 17 years, organist of the church, whom lie enticed into his room by some means. Whathappened there, according to the unfortunate girl's statement, was horrible, the utmost brutallity having been shown. She screamed, whereupon he put a pistol to her head, she claims. Two other per sons were hi the building at the time, and Miss Whitaker's female companion was out on the lawn, but no one heard the screams. After the girl was allow ed to go, she went into an adjoining room, washed her face and combed her hair, it is stated, and made her way to her home some distance away and there told her pitiful story. Upon this her father had a warrant issued for Boyle's arrest. When the oflieer went to serve the warrant he found the priest asleep in his room. The most intense excite ment prevails over this horrible affair and indignation, justly runs high, but the people of Raleigh will deport them selves with becoming resjeet. for the mnjesty ami justice of the law. Being taken before the Mayor for n prelimina ry hearing.Boyle waved an examination and was lodged jail to await trial by the higher court. This is indeed a shocking and sad affair. It is irreatlv to be deolored on account of the unfortunate girl, to whom death would have been far better, the wretched prisoner himself, the church he presumed to represent and the good of society. It is bad enough when the debased and depraved fall still lower, and more so when a high handed crime is perpetrated by one who by virtue of his positiou should stand out as a lead er and teacher, an exemplar among men.

Mr. Editor : When you take an evening ride again, you should start out on the Louisburg road. Abont five and half miles south of Honderson, vou will find your self at Gill City. (N. C.) This is a new nania for this place. The old name is Hawkins' X Koads. This will probably be the f.rt depot 011 leading from Henderson to . The people around Gill City can Ixiasr of its healthfulnes:) and tlie best water in Vance county. Good springs can be found 011 every plantation ; and two I can men tion you can't stop their flow by dipping out with a two gallon bucket. The vicinity around here is probably the thickest settlftd in Vance county. 4 Among some of our best farmers are: K. S. Wat kins, Willie Ellis, Ptobert Ellis. W. T. Weir, G. M. Stainback, U. O. Cogbill, Willie Kiltrell and .1. A. Gill who has a large plantation with a number of good renters. R. C. Coghill and W. T. Weir use no commercial fertilizers, and I can testify to the fact that they are more suc cessful with their crops, especially cotton, ban their neighbors who use fertilizers. Leaves from tlie woods and pine fields, mold and muck hauled out on the land tell their own story. A good crop of wheat, no doubt, will be harvested this year in this neighborhood, and to say the least of us we are growing populous and prosperous. To satisfy the demands and convenience of the people, S. G. Satterwhite will soon have completed a large store house, which he intends to rent to sonic srood intelligent person who will supply all the wants of the community. A post office is certainly needed here, and no doubt we will have this convenience in the near future. Don't forget our invitation to visit our city Gili. City. Wisest Max.

OANVILLK LETTER. Railroad Accident Unknown Man Found Dead Suicide Sam Jones, &e. Danvillk, Va., May 13, 1889. Editok Gold Leaf: Last Thursday evening as tlie employees of the Atlantic & Danville Railroad were finishing up their day's work an accident occurred, re sulting in the death of one man and tlie serious wounding of several others. The accident took place just within tlie city limits, near tlie old fairgrounds. The construction train of the A. & D. road, consisting of engine and two flat cars, one of which was loaded with railroad iron, was returning to this end of the line. On the car with the iron were many ne groes, employed by the company. The train was moving at a low rate of speed, and while turning a curve and amending a grade, from some cause or oilier, doubt less because of too much weight on one side, tlie loaded car left the track with a iremenoous crasii, turning nearly over. The entire load of rails was thrown off; catching many of the men in the wreck. Tlie disagreeable task of extricating the wounded was then begun. After the iron had been removed it was found that one negro named Thos. Thomas was instantly killed, the body being terribly mangled. The neck was broken, tlie body' being in a sitting posture, just as it left the car. Two others had their legs broken between the knee and foot. One of them is thought to be fatally injured. Several sustained slight injuries. The wonder is more were not killed outright, considering their per ilous conditions. Physicians were soon on hand and the railroad company had the wounded men conveyed to their homes on stretchers and properly cared for. The writer of this was an eye-witness to this distressing accident and it was a shocking and heart-rending scene that fol lowed. A large crowd was soon on the ground and the negro women and children were highly excited, shrieking and mourn ing as they gazed upon the sickening spec- Ry the way, work on this end of the A. & D. road is being rapidly pushed. Al ready the grading has been completed to Milton, and work is going on along the en tire route between this city and Clarks yille. Three or four miles of rails have been laid on this end of the line and by next December it is expected trains will be running through from Danville to Nor folk. Ry this route it will be 200 miles be tween the two cities. A few weeks ago some boys found the body of an unknown white man just below Danville lodged on a fish trap. They at tempted to float the bodv to shore but it went to the bottom of the river and was lost. Last week it was again seen four miles below here, near tlie North Carolina line, llns time it was taken out and a coroners's inquest held. The verdict of the jury was that the man came to his death by foul means at the hands of some unknown party. Nothing was found on the body to identify it, and the presump tion is that the man is an entire stranger in these parts and was murdered perhaps for his money. All sorts of theories have been advanced but at this writing the affair is all shrouded in mystery. Mrs. George Fetch a widow lady about 40 years of age living in Caswell county, JV C., not far from this city, committed suicide last week bv shooting herself through the temple. Her husband died a few months ago and since that time she had been unfortunate in the loss of much of her property by tire. Melancholy from these causes is the reason assigned for the act. She leaves two children aged about 10 and 12 years both boys. Rev. Sam Jones, the great evangelist, ar rived 111 Danville Sunday morning, and a large crowd was at the depot to see him lie is the guest of Mr. James E. School held, on Main street. He preached his first sermon in Main Street Methodist church at ll o'clock Sunday inornin" It was not expected he would prencuuntil the afternoon, at the warehouse, or the church would not have accommodated a fourth of the people that would have gone to hear him. Farmers' warehouse, (or the 'Tabernacle," as it is called,) is where the meetings are being held ; and every thing has been nicely arranged for the comfort of all who attend. Good benches are provided ami the seating capacity of the house is 3,00. A platform for 100 singers, selected from the various churches of Danville and North Danville, has been erected, and this part of the service is led by Mr. Excel, who accompanies the noted evangelist at all of his appointments. Roth piano and organ are used, and the music furnished is very good. The building is well veutilated and the skylights and windows so shaded as to keep out the sun It is thoroughly lighted for the night ser vice about eeventy-tive gas jets bein in use. Excursion trains came in yesterday and many strangers attended the services Fully ,000 people attended in the after noon and many more than that at ni"ht lhe railroads have all reduced rntes. The meeting will continue ten days three -sermons a day. I have read many of the peculiar say ings and oddities of Sam Jones and since hearing him three times they aiv all fully verified.

And though after my skin, worms destroy ! this bodv. ' ' Yet in my flesh I shall see God ; . . W hom I shall see for myself, and Mine eyes shall behold, and not another." On May the 7th, 1889, Vance county lost one of her best and most respected citizens in the death of Richard Jordan Wortbam. He was born on the 17th October, l17, and was consequently at the time of his death, more than severity-one "years of ajre. He left four children to mourn his lass three sons and one daughter, A. R. Worth am, our esteemed and worthy fellowtowns man, Benjamin and Perry, and Mrs. Sallie G. Blackwell of Townesville, together with many warm friends, gome of whom have loved and respected him for a half and others for nearly three quarters of a century. " ' It is natural that those who loved him should lament his loss, but has not the cloud a silver lining? Is it not a grand and beautiful sight, to see the aged patri arch, crowned with tho jewels of a well spent life, having served his day and gen eration, having lived out his three score years and ten, retiring from the affairs of this transitory life in Peace and Hope of a glorious reunion with those whom he has marshalled in the way of Eternal life by precept and example? He bad been a great sufferer for a long time prior to his death, bnt had borne all his sufferings with patience and resigna tion. When asked, if he were not afraid to die, he replied : '"I do not think there lives any sane man or woman who does not dread the narrow grave, the weight ' of earth pressing upon the poor body, dissolu tion with its awful accompaniments, anni hilation of this earthly tabernacle, the rolling on of the ceaseless centuries and never again to see the bright sun, the spark ling waters, the green grass, the ninny hued flowers. God's smiles on earth which seem too sweet and beautiful for this cold, cruel, cunning world, never again to see the face of loved ones here, or to hear their sweet and happy voices ; but as to fearing the Beyond, the other side of the Tomb, I answer, No. I believe the grand words of promise ' Death is the. crown of Life, Were death denied, poor man would live in vain; Were death denied, to live would not be life; . , Were death denied, even fools would wish to die ; Death wounds to cure, we fall, we rise, we reign, Spring from our fetters, fasten in the skies Where blooming Eden withers in our sight; Death gives us more than was in Eden lost, The King of Terrors is the Prince of Peace.' " For many years he was a gentleman of ample means, and whilst Hospitality always sat at his board, Charity, sweet Charity, ever showed her divine face at his door. He was a gentleman of the "Old School," and never forgot the refinements, and cour tesies of life, nor the injunctions of the " Sermon on the Mount," in the modern mad chase after the Yellow God Gold. During his life he occupied many posi tions of "honor and trust and 'discharged them all with credit, to himself and satis faction to the public. 15v bis request W. K. Tunstail and Cnpt. A. L. Steed performed the duties of. the clergyman at his funeral, both being his school males, and in whose purity as chris tians he had the utmost confidence. Mr. Tunstail in tones of deepest feeling refer red to the high character of the deceased! and said he had never known him to-be guilty of an immoral act, nor heard him utter' a word that could not have been used in the presence of tlie purest woman in the land. He was not a member of any church, but was nevertheless a christian. He was one of those who believe that a good, pure, honest, charitable man, though outside the church, will not be condemned by a Just God and Loving Saviour, to suffer Eternal agony in an Eternal Hell. He now sleeps in a beaxtiful grove, 1 whose giant forms have stood as sentinels over the graves of his ancestors for more than one hundred years. 1 O God we thank thee for this calm That cometh to us all ; The long sweet silence and the sleep, That on the weary fall l That cometh when the toiling hands Lie folded on the breast, . When griefs depart, and this is said 1 A tired heart, ' at rest. H. R w. Nice line of willow rockers just received at Sharpe & Peoples' furniture store.

Scriven's Patent Elastic SEAM DRAWERS Are provided with an improvement con sisting of an elastic insertion at the inner and outer seams, which gives elasticity in movement and comfort in fit. The draw ers are cut in figure outlines, and afford the wearer all the. advantages of knit goods, while retaining the superior com fort of woven fabric. The patent elastic scam, which contains no rubber, retains its springiness and wears longer than the other portion of the garment. It makes tlie drawers conform to the position of the wearer, and avoids any strain, no matter what attitude the body assumes. These drawers conform strictly to the outline, of the figure when standing at rest and give ease and comfort, and are with out that tightness of feeling necessarily produced by other garments. One of the peculiarities of these, drawers is that the seams only being elastic they aiiow a reniari;aiiv easv net nn in wait : mg, as all the friction caused by motion is I at once transferred to the seams, while the ' main fabric of the drawers is allowed to retain its shape and position. It will also be found that these Patent' Elastic Seam Drawers are equally well : adapted to all athletic positions, and allow ' the greatest freedom and ease of motion j In the position assumed in the above cut not the least tension is produced on the main portion of the goods, while the elas tic seams allow the transformation of the ' figure as seen in the position, which would be impossible in others without producing great strain on the goods and friction upon ; he person.
