One of the most; tcrriole river, disasters of recent years occurred 7 last ; night about 25 miles below this city. The tow-boat, Harry Brown,; of Pittsburg, 'upward bound fom New Oleans, exploded at 11 o'clock last night. The boat was a com plete week, and sank in five, minutes. Eleven lives are known to be lost. including Pilot Norman D'iiavo, G. W. ! liardslev. steersman: W. Dou.trhert.vJ chief engineer; Miss Annie Hess, Cham ber maid; Tom Judge, fireman; Wm.

FIFTH DISTRICT CONVENTION. Settle Re-Nominated by No Instruc - tions Given to Delegates Durham, N. CM May 12. (Special) Between 12 and o'clock to-day the Republican Congressional convention was convened, in the court house in Durham. It was a motley crowd. The convention was called to order by A. F.

The report could have been written certainly in three min utes, yet the committee was out much over a half hour. The report of the committee was adopted, whereupon a Mr. Waller, a young man with a red head,-from Ala mance, moved that the convention pro ceed to a permanent organization by the election of Hon. S.

F. Webb Camp. PAT IS FOR SILVER. THE STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY. But He Should Not Have Forgotten to t Say a Word For Nuggets. Col. Pat Walsh, editor of the Au gusta Chronicle, made a serious omis sion in his speech at Southern Fines. He covered everything except our gold mining interests, and Sanday Smith, of Cabarrus, made a big kick about it. After the speech he went arounp hunting Pat, but couldn't corner him until, walking the piazza; he looked into an open - window? and saw Mr. Wjalsh at dinner. Sandy climbed into the window and had Pat where he couldn't retreat. He drooped a four pound lup of gold on Pat's plate with a Rattle that made people look around, poured a handful of nuggets In Pat's empty glass-and placed the plaster cast -of the 22 pound nugget in front of the orator. Then Sandy gave Pat some points on gold and gold mining, and the result was that Mr.-Walsh j promised to make another speech and j do better. Charlotte JNews. WinstOD, N.
