Will be Commanded by Cot. Burgwyrt Appointment Made but (lot Offi cially Announced. Though riot officially coflflrmed, it Is learned that the Secoild Regiment of North Carolina Volun teers will be commanded by Colonel William H. S. Burgwyn, of Hender son. Without wishing to underrate the merits of the many excellent gen tlemen, whose names have been sug gested, we feel no hesitancy In say ing that a better appointment could not be made. Colonel Burgwyn la In the prime of vigorous manhood. Is soldier of tried courage, and comes of fighting North Carolina stock. Be fore reaching manhood, he was a cap tain in the Confederate army, and af terwards was Colonel of the Fifth Maryland Regiment, which Is one of the most famous military organiza tions In. America. The gallant Colonel Harry Burgwyn, of the Twenty-Sixth North Carolina Regiment, who was slain at Gettysburg, was his brother, and Captain J. H. K.

Lieutenant Marshall, IT. S. A., now n charge of the army stores here, has rdered fifteen hundred rubber coats for the use of our troops. Tents have so been ordered from St. Louis. As companies usually arrive at such unexpected hours, the Adjutant Gener al has ordered those, not yet mobilized. to bring twenty-four hours rations. Colonel J. H. Holt, pf Burlington. writes that two men in uniform pass ed through his town Sunday, and gave such discouraging reports of camp life here that it hada demoralizing effect on the company there. Though they Intimated that they had quit the camp In disgust, It develops that they were Sent home. ' Col.

Despite reports to the contrary, the' camp la In good condition, the sani tary arrangements excellent, and the men happy and contented. YESTERDAY'S STORM. Lightning Plays Havoc at Mr. Chas. Newcomb's Home. Yesterday afternoon between 4 and 6 clock Raleigh was visited by a se- ere storm. . The wind attained a ve lolty of 35 miles an hour. Consider able damage was done throughout the city. The storm Beema to have been most severe In the northwestern part of the city. Several trees were blown down, and limbs were torn from other rees. One of the chimneys of the hos pital at the Agricultural and Mechan ical- College was blown down, and all the chimneys on this building were more or less damaged by the storm. The residence of Mr. Chas. Newcomb, 513 north Halifax street, suffered most Shortly before 5 o'clock his house was struck by lightning and the southenst corner room, which is occupied by Miss Leila Newcomb, in the second story. was completely wrecked. The lightning seema to have struck the house at the frame of the window looking south from this room. The weather boarding wa atom from the houee and the frame left exposed. Theplasterlng was knock ed down for a space at least eight feet high and three and , half feet wide. The window and window frame were torn to pieces. The bed faced north. with the head next to the- window Both legs and the sideboard, on the west side of the bed, were knocked off, the bolster case cover was torn nearly In two,' Yet, strange to say. It was scorched at only one place. A table with a marble top stood by the south window. This table was carried across the room to the mantle tnd not over turned. The frame was torn from a picture, and every window glass In the thre windows in the room were de stroyed. The family were In the house at the time, but no one was hurt. Lit tle Miss' Alice NeWcomb was In the parlor, under Miss Leila Newcomb's room, nracticlnar on the piano, and, for some reason which can never be known, she ran out of the room Just In time to escape from the plastering which fell. The house baa a ugntmng roa on n. The damas-e will probably amount to $225, which is .covered by a clause against lightning in the Insurance pol icy. , .
