RAILROAD WORK.
Plans of the Transfer Shed are Here-
More Engine Pits; "
Mr. E. A. Wilson, contractor,
of this; city, has the contract to
build ten new engine pits at the1
Southern's Spencer shops.
Mr. Wilson also has the contract
to build a new depot at Hay Mar
ket, Va.
The plans for the large transfer
shed to be built here soon, as men
tioned in the Sun recently, are now
in the hands of a contractor in
Salisbury for a bid. Work on the
shed will probably ' commence in
the near future. The contract has
not yet been awarded.
The City Cigar Company.
The city cigar: company will
open a business in the room re
cently occupied by Mr. H. C.
Trott, as a saloon, on Inniss street,
next door below the. Climax barber
shop. The room is now" being
remodelled and repaired for the
company. Cigars and fruits will
be handled. Mr. J. K. Harris,
of Person county, will manage the
store. "
Genuine Smallpox. -
A gentleman who came down
the Western this morning tells us
that the case of smallpox several
miles out from Marion is genuine.
The victim is a man who has just
returned from San Francisco.
Since he arrived at his old home
he has met many friends and it is
feared that there will be a spread
of the disease. '
The Covered Bridge.
Complaints are made every now
and then by citizens living beyond
the covered bridge of the condition
of that bridge. It is the wish of
all, we believe, that, it be torn
away and one put up similar to
the other bridges over the main
line of the Southern near it.
Re-sale.
Hon. L. S. Overman, adminis
trator of the late J. B. Lanier,
has a notice of re-sale in this pa
per. The Lanier property which
was sold some time since is to be
sold again on Monday, the 6th of
February.
Nearing Completion.
The walls of the new Sunday
school room of the St. John's Luth
eran church are nearing comple
tion. Contractor Harbin is to- day
having framed and putting up a
portion of the rafters.
Ankle Sprained.
Mr. C. M. Brown had his ankle
sprained badly yesterday morn-ing.-
He was on a box placing
some, goods when it broke and he
fell with the above result.

Care For Confederate Graves.
Auditor Ayer is in receipt of a
lette :! from the Chief of the Re
cord office, General Marcus A.
Wright, requesting the names of
the Confederate cemeteries in the
State and the number of j veterans
buried in them.
Ai ditor Ayer hasn't the infor
mation and he desires that those
persons who can give the facts
desired by the War Record Office,
write him at once. . .
While General Wright did not
state his object in requesting the
infoi mation, it is believed that he
is fo lowing up President McKin
ley's utterance at Atlanta, in which
he declared that the time had come
when the government should care
for the graves of the Confederate
dead.1
Ti e gathering of this informa
tion is very likely the beginning
of a movement on the part of the
admi nistration to carry into effect
the President's suggestion.
Dotibie Quicked.
Tt ree men were before Mayor
Line this morning charged with
beincj tramps. Two of them were
soldiprs, regulars, and one was a
farmer boy. The three were given
10 minutes to get out of town and
they j went down the street at a
double-quick pace.
Supposed Horse Thief.
Last night at Mr. Elliott's, at

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Young Lady's Awful Fate at High
I Point Yesterday. 4 .
?A,horrible accident occurred at
High Point yesterday shortly, af
ter noon, in the railroad jard in
front of the Jarrell hotel.
A correspondent of the Char
lotte Observer writes of the acci-
dent:
Miss Eleanor Stanback, daugh-
of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Stanbach,
of Trinity, was struck, and instant
ly killed by the Asheboro train as
it was backing in the yard, getting
ready to leave on .its afternoon
trip. .
Miss Stanback, in company with
two young lady " friends, was go
ing towards the waiting room,
when a freight train, north-bound,
came in sight. The young ladies,
at the sight of the freight , train
stepped to the left. This put
Miss Stanback on tho Asheboro
track. The moving cars were
close behind her and many people
saw her danger, but the noise of
the moving trains prevented her
hearing ihe shouts of alarm. She
was struck on the shoulder by a
flat car, knocked forward and one
of the trucks passed over her head
and arm. , The other ladies had a
narrow escape.
The deceased was a student of
Greensboro Female College and
has many friends - in the State.
She is a niece of Mrs. F. A. Wood
ard, of Wilson. Our community
has never had as great a shock,
and the sympathy of all goes out
to the sorrow-stricken parents.
! The young ladies who were
with Miss Stanback were badly
shocked by the accident.
Superintendent Arendell. , '
1 A change has been made in the
office of superintendent of the pen
itentiary. J. M. Mewborne hav
ing resigned, the governor has ap
pointed Capt. W. II. Day.
litis understood that the new
superintendent will give Mr. F.
B. Arandell, formerly' of Salis
bury, a place. In speaking of
this the Raleigh Post says:
: Capt. Day stated that he would
tender the next appointment to
Mr. B. Arendell, of this city.
It is understood that Capt. Day
will appoint Mr. Arendell superin
tendent and warden of the central
prison in this city. Capt. Day's
determination to select Mr.' Aren
dell wras all unknown to that gen
tleman, and of course a great sur
prise to him. The fact that he
was thus selected is a tribute to
his ability and fitness to manage
such a large institution. Certainly
Captain Day could make no better
selection if he should search the
State.
Mrs. Verble's Will. .
The will of the late Mrs. Nan
cy Verble was read yesterday
