Mrs. Brown had aris en and picked up the dough which she had made up yesterday evening for today's bread. As she put her hand under the cloth covering the dough she felt something move and was horrified on examination to see a king snake coiled up in the dough. Her screams immediately attracted attention of Mr. Brown, who 2des patched the snake. It had crept under the cloth sometime during the night. Bob Deal Fro and Gat Tale. Bob Deal stretches our credulity when he asks us to acoept literally this frog and cat tail in a recent is sue of the Wilkesboro Chronicle: "Did you ever hear of a frog outdo ing a cat in a rat race? That's what happened out at Mrs. Parker's on the Brushies last Staurday. The cat got after a rat and the rat ran where a frog was resting with his mouth set for flies.- The rat knew not the danger and ran in. The frog closed his moulh and the rat was safe. The cat caught the rat's tail about the same time, but after a short tussel the cat left the frog alone in his glory. There are several eye wit nesses to these facts."

This morning another big company was organized in the law office of Messrs. Manning and r ounee. It was the Marion and Northwestern Railroad Company. This company was chart ered by the last Legislature. It has an authorized capital of 3,000.000. The purpose of this company is to build a railroad fro m Marion, this State, to the coal fields of Tennessee. Mr. W. C. Perkins, of Boston, Mass., is president of this concern. Mr. Perkins is a civil engineer of much experience. He has also had considerable experience in railroad ing. Mr. John W. Greenlaw, of Boston.

Within the next day or two a set of rules will oe printed and issued from the Executive office, govern ing applications to the Governor for pardons. These rules are now in the hands of the printer. 7'he most important one is that re auirini? the publication for two weeks of notice that application will be made to the Governor for a par don, this notice to. be published in the columns of a paper in the county from which the conyict, for whom pardon is to be asked, was sentenced and in case no paper is published in the county, notice is to be posted at the court house and in other public places for two weeks. The public notice which the appli cant for a pardon must post shall not onlv announce that a pardon is asit ed, but must state ot what crime the applicant was convicted, for how manv vears he was sentenced and rinwlnnc he has already served. In fant the notice has to really amount to a concise statement of the case so that the people of the county may know exacly who wants a pardon and on what ground it is asked The object of this is that those op unspn to the ranting of a pardon, i there is any reason why it should not hft erranted. mav have an equal op portunity of being heard along with those who favor it. it is oeueveu that in this way only those who de serve a pardon will seoure it, and if any are pardoned who are un amrt.hr. it will be due to the failnrfl of those familiar wilh iha fant.a t,r nrftsent them to the fJ-nvArhnr. In ot her words, this rule turns the cparrh liffht of publicity upon every ...nani pvp.rv application ior pardon. -' Ho ,w An Yrar KMaeya t ,. j T Cam. Popular Young Couple V ed at Muor- eaviiie.

Wise, the widow of Governor Wise, whose campaign against the "Know Nothings" in 1854 was the most memorable ever known in Virginia or the country, died this evening at Ashland. Mrs. Wise was a Miss Mary Elizabeth Lyons, a daughter of Dr. Peter Lyons, a former physician. 1 he de ceased was eighty-three years old and in her youth was regarded as one of the most beautiful women in Virginia. She was Governor Wise's third wife and is the step-mother cf Hon. JohnS. Wise, of New York. In her youth Mrs. Wise, then iWiss Lyons, frequently met Henry Clay, and when first presented to the great orator, the latter exclaimed: "Oh, that I could be thrown into a den of such Lyons. " Foul Play is Suspected. Durham Sun. The tragic death of Charles C. Wilborn on the Southern railroad Sunday morning continues to be a topic of interest among his friends and acquaintances, and there, are apparently wellfounded reasons for believing that his death was not due to an accident but was cold blooded murder, the motive be- ng robbery. He is said to have had about forty dollars when he left Raleigh for Dur ham with several companions, who were to accompany him to West Durham where he was to have been married Sunday afternoon. They all become more or less intoxicated and some of Wilborn's friends be- ieve that he was given whiskey con taining knock-out drops, which caused him to sink into a stupor, and that he was then robbed and aid across the railroad track in that condition to be crushed to death by the car wheels. Others think that Wilborn was probably murdertd outright and placed on the traek to cover up the dark deed. It is said that his coat was folded up ana placed on the railroad track as if to be used for a pillow, and most any one would doubt" that a man so drunk as not to realize the danger of sleeping on a railroad track would take the trouble to fold up a coat to lie upon. The young men who were with him last tell conflicting stories which is another suspicious circumstance. The contents of the partially filled whiskey flask are to be analyzed and some interesting developments may take place within a few days. The State Schools Books. Raleigh News and Observer, 19th, In the State book adoption busi ness there has been a see-saw. For many weary days the Text-tsook Commission kept the agents and book publishers waiting and now some of the book companies have the Commission in the same fix. The delay is caused by the failure ot some 01 the companies to sign up the contracts and tile their bonds, which is a necessary part of the adoption. Up to yesterday but two companies had been heard from these being the American Book Com- pauy,D, C. Heath and Company. On yesterday the contract and bond of R, F. Johnson & Co., were received. This leaves three companies yet to be heard from, the University Pub lishing Company, Silyer, Burdett & Co., and Newsome & Co: ihis de lay keeps the Governor from issuing his proclamation as to the books adopted, as it is not known whether the companies named are going to "back water on their bids, and pre fer to let the State keep -their for feit money, or are going to abide by the figures they made in their bids From all over the btate inquiries are pouring in from teachers and re tail book-store people asking for the places were the books will be sold. 3rhis it is impossible to give until all contracts have been signed Unless there is speedy action by the book men it is on the books that the Text-Book Commission may op en up the book question again and some of the members do not seem averse to doing this. If it is done there will be a merry rattling of bones.-. As soon as some definite action is taken the books will be on sale at varmna n!.T.ne in tho StatR. Tt is understood that the publishers will have three or four main depositories in the State from which books will be distributed to retailers iu every locality in the State, who can get books on a day's notice. The deDOsitories are expected to main be at Raleigh, Ashevilie, Charlotte and Wilmington. Who will be selected outside of Raleigh to have these depositories is not yet known, but in Raleigh the depository will be with Alfred Wil liams & Co Before any definite ar rangements are completed, however, the Governor's proclamation isto be issued as to the adoption, and this is now hunff up bv the dilatory ac tion of the book publishers.

Aaheville Dispatch, loth. Patrolmen Taylor and White, of the Ashevilie force, had the distinc tion this morning of capturing one of the most noted criminals of the State, Chauncey Proctor. Word came from Tennessee yes terday to the force here that he was headed this way and to keep a sharp lookout for him The police pro ceeded to keep an eye open for him, although no one suspected his real identity, as his name Proctor, was not given. This morning Patrol man White saw man cross the square whom he had reason to sus pect. He and Patrolman Taylor immediately began to follow him. Proctor went down South Main street and entered Mr. Noblitt's siore. The officers watched and when he came out learned that he had been in there to get a watch re paired. They then followed ;him and overtook him in front of Wil liamson's store on Hatton avenue, where they began to question him, Mr. Taylor asked him where he was from and he said "Marion." Then the officer asked to see he watch, aud Proctor said he took it to the store to have a crystal put in it, and when asked, said he had no other property. Previously, how ever, Officer White had seen him leave a grip sack in Cook's restau rant, and" after taking charge of Proctor the satchel was found and gone through. When the officers opened the sack they thought they had discovered a portable gold mine. It was com pletely filled with watches, rings, pins and other articles of jewelry, many of them of great value. This find completely identified Proctor as the man the Tennessee authori ties wanted, as they said he had robbed a jewelry store there. Jroctor was taken to the city prison where later his identity was discovered. Former Sheriff D. D. Shuttle and Capt. J. T. Gostic visit ed him and there was mutual recog nition, although they bad not seen him for 20 years;. Proctor's principal crimes are: Breaking into the county treasury at Shelby, breaking into a barroom used as a sleeping room, and it is be lieved that he is the man who broke into the Ashevilie Hardware Com pany's store two weeks ago and stole sixty revolvers. Later investigations show that Proctor is certainly the man who broke open a safe in the office of the Carolina Central Railroad at Shelby several years ago. He has twice es caped from the State penitentiary and has six 3rears to serve on a bur glary sentence. Itailroad Wiped Oat by Flood. Raleigh Keys and Observer, 19th. The May floods in this State liter ally washed away one railroad and the president of it writes the Corpo ration Commission that he doesn't kuow when he'll ever be able to be gin operations again. The road was a new one, about fifteen miles long, and the route lay along the Nolachucky river from the Tennessee line to Bakersville, N. C. It was intended to be a part of the new road that is to be built from Marion, N. C, to Tennessee, by way of Bakersville. But from information now before the Corpo ration Commission, it seems that the flood in the Nolachucky left only the right of way and an occasional span of track to indicate that any road bad ever ornamented its banks. This road, however, will be at once replaced and the Bakersville-Marion link built, connecting the South Carolina and Georgia Extension Railroad at Marion and the Ohio River and Charleston Railroad at the Tennessee line. These two roads are said fo be under practically the same management and this link (about fifty miles in length) will give them a system that will form a valuable property, running from Camden, S. C, where it connects with the Seaboard, to Johnson City, Tenn., where it connects with the Southern. Work will begin on the Marion Bakersville link at once, and all. the convicts that can be obtained from the penitentiary, up to (500, will be employed. The road, when completed, will open up one of the most valuable mineral and timber sections of the State, and will provide a new and direct route east for the coal and iron of Tennessee and West Virginia. This has long been a cherished project of both the Seaboard and the Southern, and the great secrecy that js being maintained in regard to the new road has led many to be lieve that the work is backed by one or the other of these systems. The most general impression.is that it is the Southern. A Confederate Negro. Raleigh Newa aud Observer. "I had an unusual application a pension the other day," said A. B.

Man With Four W.ves to be Arrested. Greensboro Special to Kaleigh News aud Ob- server, 19th. M: S. Wei ton, who married a Miss Wilsor, of this county, a few weeks ago, and who it was afterwards learned, has three wives, has been iocited at Keyser, W. Va. . Two weeks h iu he left his bride at Wood stock, Va:, telling her he was going over into West Virginia on some important railroad business. IVhen he left he took nearly all his wife's money and a portion of her jewelry. The arrivalof Deputy Sheriff Weath erly in Woodstock a day or two ago was the first intimatoin the young woman had of the fact that she had married a bigamist. She refused to believe that she had been betrayed by Welton until confronted with in disputable proof in the shape of let ters to Sheriff Jordan from two of his other wives. Deputy Sheriff Weather'y and Mrs. Welton arrived here this morning and were met at the station by the latter 's father. Welton represented himse.f to wife No 4 as an important railroad offi cial. He told her that he had a pri vate car, but gave some plausible excuse for not using it. An effort will be made to capture Welton, but this will be difficult o do, for he probably knows by this time that the officers are on his trail. A Hidkory Young Man LKst. Hickory Dispatch, 19th, The town is very mnch exercised over the whereabouts of one of Hick ory's young men, Galian Mcintosh, son of Mr. A. Mcintosh, who disap peared three weeks ago. When last heard of he was in Washington, D. C, the day after his departure from Blacksb urg, S. C, where he 'was supposed to hae bought a ticket to the Buffalo Exposition. Young Mcintosh was formerly a student at the A. & M. College, but for several months had been in the employment of the textile department of the Spartanburg, S. C., cotton mills. Mcintosh is about 19 years old, smooth face, G feet tall, with a fine physique, a boy of excellent charac ter and oue greatly attached to his parents, who are suffering great mental anxiety as to the cause of his silence, as communications between the pareiits and boy had -been kept up every day until three weeks ago. Any information as to his identity will be grnatly appreciated by his family. Building Tumbles in Ruin. Grand Rapids. Mich., Dispatch, 19th. With a crash that roused residents for blocks around, the four-story building, at the corner of Jonroe and Ottawa streets collapsed at 2 o'clock this morning, doing damage estimated at $250,000. Half an hour after the building was leveled, fire broke4out in the great heap of de bris and caused considerable dam age before it was extinguished. The building was constructed in 1858 and had long been regarded as un safe. Recent interior improvements have necessitated removing of the supporting walls and this is belieyed to have caused the accident. Fried man Brothers dry goods and de partment store and C. F. Biickers crockery and glassware store, locat ed in the ouilding, were completely wrecked. The only person injured was Lieutenant John Connor, of the Fire Department, who suffered pro bably fatal injuries. No More Exparte Pardons- Raleigh News and Observar. The best thing Governor Aycock has done since his inauguration is the adoptiou of a rule requiring no tices of ail applications for pardon to bo published in a newspaper or to be posted at the court house door for two weeks in the county in which the applicant resided and at the nearest postoffice of the scene of the crime. 1 nis rule will require pub licity in every case that comes be fore the Governor for pardon, and will give opportunity to anynd all parties to be heard upon any pend ing application for pardon. If there is any reason why the pardon should not be granted, the neighbors will be adyised of the application and can make kaowa the reason to the Governor. Ex parte pardons are necessarily often improperly granted: The usual rule heretofore has been for the friends of the applicant to quiet ly get a petition and letters from the judg, solicitor, jurors and oth er parties. Armed with this en dorsement of the application, an at torney visits Raleigh and urges the Governor to grant the pardon. The Governor has nothing before him except the prison record and the petitions and argument of the attor ney for tbe petitioner, and after he has granted the pardon he may find that the people of the county know little or nothing about it and that if they had known of the application, good reason against the executive clemency would have been present ed. Hereafter they will have notice of the application and the Governor will have the benefit of the views of the advocates and opponents in ev ery case in which there is division of sentiment with reference to the pardon. The granting of a pardon is the highest function of the sdkvereig". It ought seldom to be granted to correct courts or juries or to over rule their findings and decrees but a pardon may properly be granted upon evidence that came to light after the trial, or because of the ill health or for some other good rea son that appeals to clemency. I is the most important duty that de volves upon our Chief Executive, one that weighs heavily upon our present conscientious Governor, as upon his predecessors. There was much criticism of Governor Vance for the liberal use of the pardon power afid some .thought Governor Scales pardoned too little. It is not possible for all to -agree with the Governor upon every decision on an application for pardon, but all will approve the new rule he has promulgated of publicity before the pardon is granted, and the carrying out of his rule, adopted upon his in auguration, of giving to the press every pardon granted. very. Washington Dispatch, 19th. Present a petition, addressed to the First Assistant Postmaster Gen eral, signed by those who desire the service. This petition should be signed only by heads of families, and should mention Cthemumber in each family over 16 years of age. It should set forth the nature of the country where the delivery is desir ed, whether densely or sparsely pop ulated, the principal avocations of the people, the character ofthe roads, and the distances which, un der existing .conditions, each person has to travel to receive his mail, and should be accompanied by a map or plat indicating the route or routes proposed. The petition should read scme thing like this: To the FirsfAssistant Tostmast er General, Washington, D. C: The undersigned heads of families, residing in county, State of respectfully ask that the ru ral free delivery service be extended to them, the delivery to start from - postoffice county State, or such other point as the officers of the Department may deem best adapted for the service. A map or rough sketch of the proposed route is herewith inclosed. Your peti tioners are mostly (here state avo cations, such as farmers, truck gar deners, dairymen, cattle raisers or whatever the chief occupatoin of the people may be). . The roads over the proposed route are (state whether pike, gravelled or otherwise). There are no ucbridged creeks and the roads are passable at all seasons of the year. Following should be three columns headed respectively: Name of head of family; number over lo' years of age; distance in miles from nearest postoffice. This petition, when properly sign ed, should be sent fa the Represen tative in Congress, or one of the Sen ators, with a request that he endorse thereon his recommendation of the service asked, and forward the pe tition to the Department. When a rural free delivery route has been uniformly equipped with boxes of any one of the above-named description the Department will consider these boxes as entitled to the protection of the United States, which provide severe penalties for wilful or malicious injury to them or interference with their contents. Rural carriers are not required to deliver mail to houses standing back from the main, road, except in the case of registered mail, special delivery and pension letters. The patrons are expected to meet the Departmnet half way by afford ing the carriers every facility for the performance of their duties, by keeping the roads clear .after heavy snow falls, and using their influence to maintain the condition of the roads in all weather up to the stand ard required by the Departments Rural carriers are permitted to deliver non-mailable packages -provided their doing so does not inter fere with the prompt handling of the mails which must be made the first consideration. Rural carriers are required to take with them on their trips for the ac commodation of their patrons a suf ficient supply of stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards. Post masters may, if they choose, give credit to the carrier for stamp sup plies to the extent of $5. to be ac counted for each day, aud the car rier's bond being responsible there for. If the carriers find an unstamp ed letter in a collection box, and the requistie amount of money also deposited, they are instructed to af fix the necessary stamp. They are empowered to register letters or packages and to deliver the same, giving and taking receipt in forms provided. The are also authorized to accept money for money orders, giving their receipt therefor, and, if the patrons of the delivery desire to make the carrier their agent for this purpose, the carrier may enclose the orders, when issued, in address ed envelopes confided;to his charge and mail them without returning the orders to the sender. t The Italian Lynching. Atlanta Constitution. The governor of- Mississippi can not be too prompt in pursuing the persons guilty of lynching two Ital ians in that State. This is a case of international character and can on ly be met by unusual promptness. Some years ago there was a case similar to the present one in Louis iana- Notwithstanding its interna tional character, the governor of that State dilly-dallied and placed himself behind the shield of state rights, and the plea that the courts were jogging along with their cus tomary ease. If the Italian govern ment had been strong enough we would have been embroiled in seri ous complications, but fortunately for us that government was able to do little bevond making persistent appeals for justice. A repetition of such delay when the general govern ment is held responsible to the one offended will but hasten an interfer ence in State concerns, leading per haps much further. It is for this reason that State governments should find some means of expedit ing process when the victims are subjects of foreign governments. In this way they could aid the gen eral crovernmsnt in giving a prompt answer after having ascertained the truth. There seems to have been no excuse whatever tortne late lyncn ing in Mississippi.
