WATSON DEAD. THE VICTLM OF A DRUNKEN HUSBAND'S FRENZIED ASSAULT. Cause of lier Death Deplored By Many Friends The Sad Ending of a Beautiful Life Died at Johns Hop kins Hospital Her Death the Result of a Sad Tragedy Enacted in Raleigh a Few flonths Ago. (Kaleigh Evening Times, rjtli.) . . . i -. . l t t l:tj .1 "ijou puiem ins cimuren in incir j amiction and cares tor the.n in hours of j trial." There is a sad story of a beautiful life, one consecrated to the service of the almighty, which has been cut off by the hand of mercy. Some time ago the whole city was shocked by the news of a probably fa tal shooting which occurred at the home of Albert Watson, and the sym pathy of Raleigh went out to the lovely little woman who had been shot by a frenzied husband, who aftewards sent his own life into the unknown. Diys passed and kind lriends, good men, in the town, looked after the every need of the little woman. Skilled phy sicians and trained nurses watched by her bedside at Rex Hospital and every thing was done to save the- life which had been so pure and lovely; and so faithful in Chrutian work. It was not long befor Mrs. Watson was enough recovered to be carried to Baltimore, and these same good men of our town sent physicians with her to Johns Hopkins Hospital. Two weeks ago last Friday they left here Dr. (loodwin, Mrs. Watson's physician, and Mrs. Pearce, mother of the young woman. In Baltimore Mrs. Watson was given t lie best treatment the famous John Hopkins Hospital could afford. Every care was taken, and the operation to remove the bullet, fired by the hand of her young husband, was to have been attempted in a few days. A short while after they arrived, Mrs. Watson was attacked by kidney troubles and as she was very much weakened by her long illness, the phy sicians knew that she could not live many days. Before her last illness had begun the bullet was discovered by means of the X Rays, and a photograph taken to be used in the operation. Sunday Mrs. Watson was quite ill and Monday she was informed that she could not live but a few days. She was not excited by the news, but displayed that perfect resignation which is symbolical with Christian fi delity. Last night at 9:30 o'clock her life passed away. Alone in that great bare hospital, no friend from home, not even an ac quaintance of a month's time, she died. She was conscious to the last and faithfud to the vows of marriage and of consecration to God.. Mrs. Watson was iS years old in December. She was a mem ber of Christ church. Mr. James I Johnson said today, in speaking of Mrs. Watson's death: "She had a beautiful character. Her faith- fullness in Sunday school and in other Christian duties was admirable. She was reasonable and smart, and her mind was wonderfully matured. "I never witnessed such beautiful resignation to fate, but it was no more than was expected by those who knew her character." Everyone spoke in the highest terms of her, and while she was so ill at Rex Hospital, a nurse said: "Mrs. Watson was the brightest jewel that we ever nursed." Keep a Clean flouth. A distinguished author says: "I re solved, when I was a child, never to use a word which I could not pro nounce before my mother." He kept his resolution and became a pure mind ed, noble, honored gentleman. His rule and example are worthy of imita tion. Boys readily learn a class of low, vulgar words and expressions, which are never heard in respectable circles. Of course, we cannot think of girls as being so much exposed to this peril. We cannot imagine a decent girl using words she would not utter before her father or mother. Such vulgarity is thought by some boys to be "smart," the "next thing to swearing," and yet "not wicked;" but it is a habit which leads to profanity, and fills the mind with evil thoughts. It vulgarizes and degrades the soul, and prepares the way for many of the gross and fearful sins which now cor rupt society. Young readers, keep your mouths free from all impurity, and your "tongue from evil;" but in order to do this, ask Jesus to cleanse your heart and keep it clean, for "out of the abund ance of the heart the mouth speaketh."

I think death's train solar system sweeps through the And passes suns and moons tha dwarf our own, And close beside us we shall find dearest, The spirit friends on earth we held our the nearest, And in the shining distance God's great throne.

But no malicious fate has power to stay me From that grand journey on the Great Death route. Bits of Wisdom. It is a short lane where all the ten- ants pay their rent promptly. If one expects to get a square meal he must pay a round price for it. It is natural that a man should go wild when he has been made game of. Although a needle has an eye in its head it is not able to see its own point. Talk is cheap especially when you make use of your neighbor's telephone. The man with the most sand is the one who gets the girl with the rocks. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush; but this is not the opinion of the bird. A woman's glory is in her tresses. All above them, at least at the theatre, are distresses. Some people are like nails. They have to be thumped on the head to make them go straight. It is not easy to convince a deaf man that the bark of a dog that has attacked him is worse than his bite. The world owes every man a living but the world is like the people in it and oftentimes forgets to pay its debts. If the boy is father to the man, the boy is very much to blame that he does not give his son a better bringing up. When a man desires to pay his wife a most acceptable compliment he does not tell her that she is just like her mother. A successful physician is the one who studies the mental predilections of his patients rather than their physi cal derangements. It is a mistake to say that a man is known by the company he keeps. The company he doesn't keep apparently knows him more intimately. How to Look Good. Good looks are really more than skin deep depending entirely on a healthy con dition of the vital organs.

WYATT, THE MARTYR. MR. R. H. BRADLEY WRITES IN INTEREST OF HISTORY. THE He Modestly Disclaims any Especial Credit or Honor in Connection With an Incident that Was of Little Im portance Outside the Fact That Young Wyatt Was the First Man Who Fell in a Cause That Was Not "Lost." I Correspondence News and Observer. I hope you will grant me space in your valuable paper to correct some er rors in Mr. O. W. Blacknall's commu nication published in your issue of the 9th inst. By way of preface, however, I wish to say that I have never before written a line for publication on the subject mentioned in this communica tion, and it was my intention never to have done so, but for fear that my si lence might be construed as significant of my acquiescence in the statements which he made and as evidence of the truthfulness thereof, I feel it to be my duty, not only to the living as well as to the memory of the dead, but also to historic accuracy, to depart from my determination far enough to make the following correction : In the first place, I am not the only survivor of the squad mentioned in our comrade's communication. Cap tain John H. Thorpe, of Rocky Mount, is still living. In the second place I was not the leader of the squad that volunteered to burn the house between the lines. That duty was assigned to our late comrade, Sergeant George H. Williams, who performed his duty gallantly. I was in the rear, not in the lead. In fact, this entire incident was of so small importance as compared with the vast aggregate of deeds of noble daring enacted thereafter that but for one simple fact it would never have gained the notoriety which has fallen j to its lot. The fact was the fall of Wyatt, the first .of the many North Carolinians to fall in a cause that was not "lost." Some have said that the enemy was in force behind the house which we volunteered to burn, and that we charged in the face of them, and that Wyatt was shot by them from the house. Such, however, is not the fact. It is true that the enemy had been there in force a very short time before, but the only Federal there at that time was one who had been shot through the stomach and who was afterwards brought into our lines. The shot which killed Wyatt was fired by the rear guard of the enemy, stationed in the corner of the woods to our left front. The main body of the enemy was then in full retreat, but that was not known by Colonel Hill until a short time afterwards. The last shot fired by the enemy was the one which killed Wyatt. He was shot through the head and fell forward, then turned on his back and never moved again, though he did not cease to breathe until he was put in the ambulance to return to Yorktown that night, some four or five hours after he was shot. The movements of our company, the Edgecombe Guards, from the be ginning of the first up to the time of the fall of Wyatt were as folio-,: It was stationed across a little stream about one hundred and fifty yards in advance of our works (left front) as skirmishers. Wyatt and were sent out by Capt. Bridgets to our left to observe the movements of the enemy in that direction. They returned and reported that we were about to be cut off by an advance of the enemy from that direction. Capt. Bridgers ordered the company to retire to our works, but was ordered by Col. Magruder to return to our position and hold it at all hazards, which we did, until we were ordered to the right of our lines to support Captain Avery (Burke Ri fles) who was supporting a Howitzer, under command of Capt. Brown, placed in some earthworks at the head of an old mill dam on the other side of the river from the church and our main works. As we crossed over from left to right we were subjected to a cross fire, one from a regiment which had advanced in the field to the house which was afterwards burned,! and the other from the advance of Col onel Winthrop's column, which made the most determined attack that was made upon our works during the en gagement. Winthrop was killed within sixty or eighty yards of the left angle of our lines. While making this ma neuver, two of our company were wounded in front of the church. The first one I saw was private Charles Williams, wounded in the arm near the shoulder. The other was private Council Rogers, shot in the breast, a serious wound, the effects of which caused his death some jears later. When the enemy advanced on our right in the house field the Howitzer above mentioned was accidentally sp.ked by one of the cannoneers, and the works were abandoned by order of Col. Hill. Captain Averv. together with the battallionof Virginians under , ... command of Lt. Col. Stewart returned to the main works. When our com-: pany had advanced to the breastworks recently abandoned by Capt. Avery, the enemy had retired. At this time Colonel Hill came to our company and called for volunteers to burn the house, for fear the enemy might ad vance under its cover and use it as a defence. Those who volunteered crossed over the breastworks and ad vanced at a double-quick in the fol 1 wing order, to wi: George H. Williams, with hatchet and matches; Thomas Fallon on his left, then J hn H. Thorpe and Wyatt on his left; then the writer, about five or six feet be hind Wyatt. We had not advanced more than thirty or forty yards when Wyatt fell and we were ordered lack. Another Howitzer was ordered up to shell and set fire to the house. The first shell passed through the house and burst beyond it. The second burst in the building and set it on fire. This is a true statement of the cir cumstances connected with the death of Wyatt. At the solicitation of sever al friends I have thus endeavored to correct some of the many erroneous statements that have been going the rounds of the press in connection with this matter. Yours very truly, R. H. BRADLEY. Curiosities of Harriage. Goethe said he married to obtain respectability. . Wicherly, in his old age, married his servant girl to spite his relations. The joining of right hands in an cient times had the solemnity and the validity of an oath. Giving a ring is supposed to indi cate the eternity of the union; seeing that a circle is endless. Under the Roman empire marriage was simply a contract; hence we read of men "putting away" their wives. Among the Jews the rule was for a maiden to marry on the fourth and a widow on the fifth day of the week not earlier. In a Roman marriage the bride was purchased by the bridegroom's pay ment of three pieces of copper money to her parents. The custom of putting a veil upon the maid before the betrothal was done to conceal her blushes at the first touch of the man's hand and at the closing kiss. Kissing the bride the moment the marriage ceremony ended, though not now prescribed by the rubic of the Wesiern churches, formerly was an im perative act on the part of the bride groom. The early marriage ceremony among the Anglo-Saxons consisted merely of hand-fastening, or taking each other by the hand, and pleding each other love and affection in the presence of friends and relatives. It is hard to down a working man especially if he is an editor who has a talent for business. An exchange says: "The publisher of this paper was as saulted on the street Thursday eve ning by Tobe Priest. Dr. Griffin dress ed his wouuds and the livery man hauled him home. We guarantee sat isfaction in job work, and our prices are a9 low as the lowest." Ayer's Hair Vigor is certainly a re markable preparation and nothing like it has eyer beeu produced. No matter how wiry and unmanageable the hair may be, under the influence of this incomparable dressing it becomes soft, silky, and pliable to the comb and brush. True Cheerfulness. Along with humility we should cul tivate cheerfulness. Humility has no connection with pensive melancholy or simorous dejection. While the truly humble guard against the distraction of all violent passions and inordinate cures, they cherish a cheerful dis position of mind. There cannot, in deed, be genuine cheerfulness without the approbation of our own heart. While, however, we pay a sacred re gard to conscience, it must be en lightened and directed by reason and revelation, and happy are the individ uals who have arrived at that stage of development. The state of mind which attends such a moral and in tellectual condition is equally remote from our dissatisfaction, desponding melencholy and frivilous hilarity. It smooths our paths and sweetens our cup, rendering duty easy and affliction light. - IT IS EASY TO TELL.

A Counterpart of Jesse Pomroy Ap pears in Philadelphia Samuel Hen derson, Fifteen Years of Age, Lured Little Percy Lockyar to the Woods Where He Was Brutally Killed and Thrown Into the Creek. Philadelphia, Jan. 17. The body of 5 -year-old Percy Lockyar, who is believed to have been murdered on Friday night by 15-year old Samuel Henderson was yesterday found in the bottom of "Reddies" creek, Sixtieth and Catherine streets, West Philadel phia, and there seems little doubt in the minds of the police that young Henderson is guilty of the crime. He is now locked up in a cell at police headquarters. The body of the h id, when found, was weighted by two heavy stones, one about his neck and the other around his ankles. His skull was crushed in and there was a knife thrust just above the heart and siniiliar wounds on his breast, side and forehead, while on one side of the face is a long cut, extending from be low the eye to the chin. From what the police have been able to learn the crime seems to have "een one of the most horrible charac ter, and if its details are true it stamps young Henderson as a degenerate of the worst type. He does not seem to realize the enormity of the crime. On Saturday, after his arrest, he told this story of the killing: "I found, Percy l.ockyar at play with several companions in front of the West end schoolhouse; and induced him to walk across the fields to the woods in search of "piggies" to play hocky with. After coaxing him for some time he agreed to go, and we went together. "I was standing at the foot of a hill on the side of which, half way up, Percy was at play. I was whittling a stick. The creek was just behind me. All of a sudden I got tired of whittling and stopped, holding my knife against my hip, blade outward. Just then I saw Percy running down the hill at full speed. I had been bending over and just as I straightened up Percy struck me and ran squarely upon the knife. It pierced his heart. He fell over backward, and didn't speak again. I was scared because I thought I had killed him, and picked the body up and carried it to the creek, where I tumbled it into the water and went home." Yesterday, however, when shown the mutilated body of the child he admit ted that he was responsible for those cuts as well, but he still persisted that it was an accident. The police, however, believe that it was a planned murder in which the guilty one also purposed ending the life of another small boy, Willie Addi son, aged 7 years. Henderson, it is claimed, has been reading trashy novels of the wild western stamp, and has shown a desire to emulate the "hero" of those tales. The police as sert that Henderson accompanied L ickyar and Addison to the woods, as he told on Saturday, but instead of any accident happening to either Hender son tied both children to a tree. Ad dison broke away and ran home. It was then, it is said, that young Lck yar's death -was accomplished. Dr. Morton, the coroner's physician, who examined the thrust above the heart said that it caused the death of the little fillow. The police searched for the body during all of Saturday night. and it was not until after daylight yesterday morning that it wis ever found. A fact thjt has come out in cor.nec Hon with Henderson s alleged crime is that his father, John D. Henderson, was on trial before Judge Reed, in October, 1892, charged with killing a man named Christopher Nelson. The killing was the outcome of a quarrel. Henderson, when arraigned, pleaded guilty to manslaughter. He was re manned for sentence, but some time later it was shown that the death was largely accidental, and there was no murderous intent. He was admitted to bail, and is now a free man. The murder of young Lockyar re calls the crime, early in the 70's, of Jesse Pomeroy, now serving a life sen tence in the Massachusetts state prison. Pomeroy, then 15 years old, lured 4-year-old boy to the meadows back of South Boston, and ihere stabbed the little one to death with a jick knife. The child's body was covered with wounds, and his little hands were cru elly hacked, showing that he had held them before him in an effort to ward oil" the cruel stabs. Pomeroy, since his imprisonment, has made several clever attempts to escape.

COST OF A RAILROAD CAR. Some Interesting Details Tro m the Pennsylvania Railroad Shops. The auditing departm;nt of a great American railroad corpoation, says the New York Sun, rivals in respect of its records and transactions a govern ment department. The earnings of all the lines of the Pennsylvaini Rail road system tn a year average about j $130,000,000, and the gross earnings! of the Vanderbilt system amount to ; rather more $45,000,000 from New ! York Central, $21,000,000 from the j Like Shore, $10,000,000 from the I West Shore, and Nickel Plue, $33.- I 000,000 from the Chicago and North- j west, $13,000,000 from ihe Michigan Central, and about $15,000,000 from Collateral lines or system. Tnese fig ures are large, but they appear still larger when they are compared with items of Federal revenue. The total receipts of the United States Govern ment from customs during the fiscal year ending in 1S96 were $150,000,. 000, and from internal taxes $146,- I 000,000. The two together made up j $296,000,000 of public levenue for the government of the affairs of a nation of 75,000,000 inhabitants, but the two railroad systems referred to represented together receipts of $275, 000,000, and if a third big railroad system were added the receipts of the Federal government would be exceed ed. The accounts of big railroad corpor ations require care and much hard work, and the system of precise book keeping in railroad accounts (now a special brand of accounting) has been carried close to the point of perfection by the Pennsylvania Railroad, which, for instance, gives to the lraction of a cent the expenses incident to the con struction of a car or a locmotive. There are 30,000 passenger cars and 8,000 baggage, mail and express cars in actual use on the railroads of the United States, and the ordinary pas senger car costs anywhere from $4,000 to $5,000, the difference representing added improvements in furnishing. There has recently appeared a de tailed statement of the cost of con structing at the Altoona shops of the Pennsylvania railroad a sample first class, modern, up-to-date, luxurious passenger car, and s;meof the items are of interest. The wheels and axles represent a cost of $332.25; the trucks upon which the car rests cost $538.62; the air brake represents $131.75; the seat fixures, twenty-five in number, cost $50.50; the three bronze lamps, $13.50; the two gas tanks, $84; the chandeliers, $;o.7;, and the item of screws, which might not appear to be an important one, $51.88. For the building of a car like the one taken in illustrations, 2,480 feet of poplar wood, 3,434 af ash, 1,100 of white pine, 235of yelfow pine, 440 feet of hicko ry, 400 of cherry, 700 of Michigan pine, 500 of oak and 439 ol maple veneer were required in addition to thirteen gallons of varnish, forty-five pounds of glue and nearly 3,000 pounds of iron, exclusive of 800 pounds of iron castings. For the furnishing of the car there were required sixty nine yards of scarlet plush, forty-four yards of green plush, sixty-one yards of sheeting and 243 pounds of hair. The basket racks cost $77.35, the sash leavers $42, the bronze window lifis $14.40 and the gold leaf for the em bellishment of the wood work fasteners $15.47 worth of material was required, two stoves cost $77-55 and the tin used on the roof of the car $41.44 The labor in the construction of the car represeated a cost of $1,263 94, bringing up the expenditure to more than $4,400. They are Coming South. The latest number of the Southern Field, a periodical published by the Southern Railroad in the interest of the South, contained much interesting i reading matter in regard to the vari ous States of the South and particularly about those sections through which the Southern Railroad runs. Among other things was the following para graph: A continued flow of people and capital from the North to the cities, towns and country along the Southern Tail way, during the year 1898, and for several years thereafter, is our predic tion. When this movement of people from the North to the South was first inaugurated by the Southern Railway, we frequently heard it stated that it was not a work that would prove suc cessful. The pessimists have now succumbed, and are now convinced that the tide of immigration is to the South. The Southern Railway com pany has taken hold of the work to succeed; we believe we are on practi cal lines, and as time advances the ef fect of the solicitation made will in crease. The past few months a marked stimulus in the interest manifested in the South by the people of the North, is visible. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
