Miss Hamre Gill, after weeks of suffering, pass
es lato the beyond. A lovely character.
Yesterday' morning just as the
sun's first ravs-were fillinc: the citv
with the gladdening light of a sum
mer's perfect Sabbath, a beautiful
spirit was' passing froVn the abode of
life and entering the portals of the
great, the unknown bevond. The
immortal soul of a lovely character
was winginji its 1 flight through the
valley pf the shadow, over the dark
stream beyond the grave.
' After .weeks of suffering Mis
Mamie Gill breathed her last yester
day morning at 6 o'clock at the
home of her mother on west Main
street. ; Her death was not an en
tirely unexpected one as she had
been hovering between life and
death for two weeks or more. Yet
she hd appeared to rally in the last
few days and hopes were entertained
that she might continue to improve.
The direct cause of Miss Gill's death
was enlargement of the heart.
Miss Mamie Gill was born at Gold
Hill, this countjT, and was 23 years.of
age, ,She.wa$ a devout member of
the Catholic church. Most of her
life has, been spent in Salisbury and
all :who came in contact with her
learned to love her foi her many ad
mirable traits; She j ;vas a' young;
lady of sweet disposition and gentle
xiianneraadallwre: heiv friends.; ; '
Mr! II. C. Williams; went to Char-
"V
lotte yesterday morning where ar-
ngements were made for the in-
terrment, which took place this eve
ning. The remains, accompanied by
the family, were taken to Charlotte
on the vestibule this morning.

Frank Howard To Be Hung at Concord.
Many of our citizens remember
that one night several months ago
a bright light was- seen against the
southern sky. The next day the
World published that the barn, sev
eral horses and an out house of
to Mr. Gillori, of Cabarrus county,
had been burned.
Suspicion fell upon Frank How
ard, colored, and he was jailed. At
one time the accused man confessed
that he "meant to burn everything
on the premises, Gillon and all -his
family."
Howard was tried at the Cabarrus
term of Superior court last week
and found guilty of arson. Satur
day morning Judge Greene sen
tenced him to be hanged on Friday,

Victims, of the Chute. The Hother Fermits
Her' Daughter lo Go Boating and the
faughter Is Killed. A Tragic
" Aftair.
. On tle tragic death of the three
picnicer at KnoxyiUe last Thursday
hangs another tragedy, sadder and
more touching in its details than the
original catastrophe. It is ; well re
membered how a young lady and
two gentlemen rowing along Lake
Ottosee were struck by a boat pre
cipitated from a chute and instantly
killed. In addition to these seven
others vere badly injured, perhaps
fatally. The subsequent events are
told us by Capt. L. A. Frazier.
It appears that Miss Fibbs, the
young lady who was killed, was the
daughter of an "engineer. She ap
pealed: to her father for per
missioiHto join a picnic party on the
lake but he refused to give his per
mission? The young jady afterwards
sought her mother and obtained her
consent. " . ' i:
She was Only 16 years old and her
father knew full well that the chute
which inclinedrlrom ,a height above
to the lake's brink was nothing less
than a death trap. 1
She went however and as related
above met a fearful death. When
the news was borne JLo her mother of
the sad accident the shock was so
saddennd the realization of her
own indirect responsibility for her
daughter's death ' -i so stunning that
she became deranged instantly and
it is feared will never recover her
mind. , It is a sad affair all around
but particularly sq in the case of the
mother, who with less intent than
thought of danger, brought death tQ
her lovely young daughter.

Hon. Theo F. Kluttz addressed a

opinion of all who have expressed

He dwelt mostly on national issuer,
and told how at Chicago Wm. J.
Bryan captured the convention by
his matchless effort, and his descrip
tion of this speech and the Demo-

Mr. Kluttz stands rlatfooted on the
