1 ALL THE N'iWS J WHILE IT IS NEWS. J I VOL 9 fifty Bushels of Hail Stones A Heap °f his Magni- * tude Seen on the Road i Side in Crab Orchard as c a Result of a Serious y Storm. c 4 C Chan Ue News, lltli. r IVrty or 50 bushels of hail stones t in ou' heap was a sight, probably never ro witnessed in the county, which sin prist il and astonished all passers-by * nn in road into Crab Orchard township * r.T.lay afternoon, and which kept ' ir .;,l,. s constantly a-shying. So thick was ilie pile of ice-stones that this jm>rning between 6 and 7 o'clock eight i,'a bushels of the mass of hail was \ still intact, not all of it having melted i over night. I Mr. A. A. Armstrong, of Crab Orch- * ;,nl brought tliis news into the city this !-t iiiorniiig. lie is a juror in the Civil ■ Court now in progress, and being under ( in this capacity makes it certain t that ho would be cautious in his report t about the immense pile of hailstones which he saw. and which, he adds, was e n a loot, long and four feet wide. j Mr. Vanderburg went on to explain , that the heap was in a thick growth of woods, the weeds springing up out of £ a ditch by the roadside. The hail had A boon washed off of a field by the side 1 el" iho road, which inclined downward. , \yith the cloudburst, a perfect river ~ of water accompanied or followed the hail, and the stones, which varied from J corn-grain to giunea-egg size, were caught in the wash and swept into the ditch. . i Crops were seriously damaged in the 4 viciiuiy. Cotton, corn and oats were cut and torn all to pieces. Among the worst sufferers are Messrs. John Orr, j John K. Alexander. Mr. Russell, cn the j Hubert's place, and Harvey Taylor, * while others who were not hit quite so hard, but hard enough, were Mr. Frank j Xeal. Mr. Sam Austin and Mr. Vander- * burg himself. The hail reached a little above New- oil's, but the fury of the storm spent i itself below that point. A big black cloud moved hack and forward, like a : shuttle, apparently, over the section s visited, which covered ajout a mile ] wide and unknown length. The road sido was strewn with green leaves that had been cut oft from the limbs 1 of trees. 1 Proposed Bond Issue of $150,000 for Winston * 1 Winston-Salem, June 11. —The board cf aldermen at their last meeting or dered an election for August G on the proposition to issue §150,000 30-year bonds. If the measure is carried in lavor of the bonds it is proposed to expend about $50,000 of the amount for a new liign school building and the balance for streets and extension of the sewerage system. While the election is a long way off, yet it is being freely discussed by the citizens in general and it appears now to he a considerable centiment against the issuing of bonds. Winston's bond ed indebtedness is now only $500,000, which is much less than most Carolina towns the size of Winston. Mayor Eaton in his inaugural ad before the new board of alder jo.mi came out flat-footed against issu ing hands find should the mayor decide to fight the proposed measure it is very doubtful whether the measure could be carried as the mayor has a :;tioi!g following and much influence.

N. C.. THURSDAY JUNE 137"! 907," CORNELIUS HAN TELLS OF REUNION Cornelius, N. C., June 11.—The last of the party that went to tlie Rich mond reunion from Cornelius, Hunters ville, Davidson, and Mooresville, have returned. The Mt. Zion camp sent a big dele dation. All speak in praise of the Southern Railway officers, for their kindness and courtesy. Our train went from Huntersville, direct to Richmond, via Winston-Salem, nearly on schedule lime. Notwithstanding the bad weather, we all enjoyed the trip. The Richmond people did all in their power to make it pleasant for us, and the veterans appreciated their efforts. I saw many very amusing and some very pathetic incidents, but I will not attempt a de scription, as the reunion has been very fully writteu up in all the papers. Many of the members of our camp were very much -interested in the > Petersburg breastworks and battle grounds, and on Thursday and Friday, several parties visited the works for the first time in 43 years. Beginning at the "Crater," we traced the line north to the City Point Railroad. This line was occupied by Ransom's Bri gade nearly all the time from June | lGth, 18G4, to March 25th, 1865. In j places the line is indistinct. We found j that the impressions made on our minds 43 years ago were not quite cor rect as to distance and direction, but we were able to locate the line and the | places where the hardest service was I done; where the mortar shells fell thickest .and where our comrades were killed by the Federal sharpshoot ers or mortar shells. I noticed the place where I saw Gen. R. E. Lee for I the last time, probably about February, 1865. He was passing along the line and stopped on our company's left, and surveyed the Federal line, which was in full view. At the City Point Railroad, we turned to the left, and went back to ePtersburg over the | same route we had gone so often in ! our visits to Petersburg in 1564 and | 1565, noting the places where our i headquarters had been, the iron rail -1 road bridge and some of the buildings j ! which still show the marks of the shells thrown during the seige, thence to the foot of Sycamore street (so well remembered by our party), and! back to Richmond, and thence to the Jamestown Exposition and home. We, like boys after Christmas, are already beginning to look forward to the next reunion, which for us it at Mt. Zion, the first Thursday in Au gust. The visit to Petersburg suggested to me the idea of erecting a monument to the Confederate soldiers from the upper end of Mecklenburg county, who were killed in the Civil War on differ ent battlefields. I think we will make an effort at the reunion to raise a sum sufficient for that purpose. I merely name this matter so that the people can be thinking about it. Our town is growing. Quite a num ber of dwelling houses are being built. The new cotton mill (the Gem), has started. Other manufacturing enter prises are talked about. Our people are much interested in the building of the bridge across the Catawba. We think it would be a great help to the upper end of the county. A. J. STOUGH.

Testimony as to Dynamit ing of Fred Bradley As sailed, Orchard Drew \ Diagram of Entrance to Lyforth Place Boise, Idaho, June 11. —Harry Or chard went on tor his fourth day of cross-examinations. He wil complete his story of the atempt to kill Fred Bradley, formerly manager and new president of the Bunker Hill Mine, blown up by striking miners in 1899. The prosecution attaches much im portance to this part of Orchard's tes timony. A number of witnesses are here from San Francisco to testify in sup port of the attempt on Bradley's life. Attack the Testimony. Continuing its cross-examination of Harry Orchard the defense in the case of Haywood attacked the testimony of the witness as to the dynamiting of Fred Bradley, of San Francisco, and besides endeavoring to show descrip encies and improbabilities in it, sought to make it appear it had been in part inspired by Detective McFarland. There was at first enrort to show Or chard had never seen nor heard of the Japanese servant who cleaned the perch at Linforth flats the morning Bradley was blown up until McPart land told him about him. Orchard denied this and swore he saw the Japanese and he had to wait for the Japanese to leave the porch before he placed the bomb. 1 The defense endeavored to discredit the story of the purchase of dynamite from the Judson Powder Company and the entire claim that the bomb was used for by showing the forms of the Lynforth building were blown outward and that Bradley had been blown into the street. Attorney Richardson de- I manded that the witness explain how J the explosion of the bomb had had these effects. Orchard said he could not explain the matter. He expressed the opinion that Bradley was standing sideways to the bomb and that the explosion followed the line of least resistance and carried him into the street. At the request of the defense Orch ard stood before the jury and drew a diagram of the entrance to Linforth place. t Com. Refused Exemption From Acts to Railroad Co. y- Raleigh", N.
