On the morning after the recent ex cursion of the Tabernacle Church, of this city to New Berne, the dead body of an unknown young man was found a few yards from the water tank near Princeton. It was definitely ascertained that he was killed either by the night freight or the excursion train, but it could not be positively discovered which. It was afterwards learned that Eugene Hood a young man from this city had gone on the excursion, and had not returned with the train. This gave Jrise to the be lief that he was the unfortunate per son which has been confirmed beyond doubt today. There are several theories advauced as to how the accide.it happened. At the place where the young man was killed there was no stop of the train, and he must have lost his balance and fallen while leaning out. His head is considerably crushed as are also a leg and arm. The face is not disfigured, and ;recognition by those who knew him is comparatively easy. Mr. Louis Lougee, who had partial control of the matter of keeping or der on the train, said he did not know the young man, but he had some difficulty in preventing several from leaning out and standing on the platform. Several gentlemen left here this morning for the scene of the accident, and the body. will be brought here for irjterment. Ice cream on any day at A. Dughi's. Any kind to older. Ice Cellar.

H, Adams. A Pleasant Excursion. We learn that the managers of the First Baptist Sunday school which will have a pic nic and excursion to Winston-Salem on June the 9th, have made satisfactory arrangements with the Railroad company. This school will be doubly careful to throw around themselves every safeguard. They will not take a train of more than ten couches. They will not sell tickets enough to crowd the cars so as to render everybody uncomforta ble, and they are assured by the Rail road company that every possible precaution will bo used to prevent any delay to or from Winston. They have given the school a schedule tha will put the party in Winston in the forenoon and back to Raleigh not la ter than 9 o'clock, p m. We learn that a limited number of tickets will be put on sale early next week and the friends of the school can go on this excursion for the small sum of two dollars, provided they buy their tickets before the day of departure. If bought at the train $2.50 will be charged. This is a rare opportunity for a pleasant trip.
