In the Stock Yards Refuse
8(rlke RetarniDSr to Work
at Sacramento.
Chicago, July 19. The Amer
ican Railway union order,
warning all railroad men at the
stock yards to desist from work,
seemed to have little effect on
to men to whom it was addressed
this morning. Railroad em
ployes returned to their work
as usual; switching was con
tinued, and the packers seemed
inclined to treat the matter as a
joke
The stock yards company will
endeavor to" solve the problem
of securing protection for its
men outride of working hours
by lodging and boarding them
in its buildings. Cots were
placed in some of the houses
this morning.
Sacramento, Cal., July 19.
Early this morning over 400
men reported for work in the
l&hopa and many of the old
employes were given vueir tor
mer positions. Every depart
ment, save the rolling mills
foundry, is in operation, with
a suiiicient force to handle all
business for the present. No
work is to be done in tne roll
ing mills and foundry, and for
this reason they remain inoper
ative.
The men filed into the yards.
protected by a strong military
escort. There were committees
from the strikers' ranks hang
ing upon the outskirts of the
sentry lines and endeavoring to
persuade tne workman irom
returning to work, but their
pleas were in vain. It is eener
ally conceded thai the strike
so far as it obtains here, is over
and that the railroad company
nas won.
Superintendent Small, of the
motive power and machinery
department, says he has appli
cations for reinstatement from
hundreds of men and that by to
morrow he will have 600 men at
work. Three switchmen crews
went to work this morning and
trains are made up without
difficulty.
Chicago. July 19. The Full-
man shops at Pullman. Ills., will
probably reopen next week.
Vice President Wickes stated
this morning that he had re
ceived 325 applications from
workmen desiring to return to
work and that he anticipated
no trouble securing a suffi
cient number of operatives to
work all the departments. Three
hundred men are engaged in
oiling the machinery, cleaning
tne snops and doing other
preliminary work.
While 100 or. these men, who are
Hollanders, living at Roseland,
were on their way to .f unman
this morning, they were stopped
. 1 A. A A
snort distance west oi nuiman
by strikers of their sympath
izers and an all round fight
ensued, which terminated in the
new men agreeing to go home.
After nearly reaching Kose-
and. however, the Hollanders
separated into groups of two or
three and different routes re
turned to Pullman and went to
work. Most of the Hollanders
are iron founders, but all were
pressed into the service of clean
ing up.

We have seen it in print and heard it
stated that if a dog is bitten by a snake a

statement seen s to lx pretty gene rally

We heard one man say he wouldn't be

Capt. D. S. Lancaster, of the steamer
Carolina, had heard the statement and
knowing of a dog that had in the past
about five years, as near as could be de
termined lieen bitten by a snake and
hail never seemed right since that time,
though perfectly healthy before, he got '
permission from the owner, a colored !
man named Henry F-d wards, to kill the I
dog and test the matter. The dog seemed
alnjut to die anyway.
The dog was accordingly hot and an j

George Mills, who on circumstantial
evidence stands accused of the recent
atrocious murder of his niece, Miss Iana
Wimberly, near Apex, Wake county,
has for several weeks been in jail at
Goldsboro for safe keeping. He was
taken up to Raleigh on Wednesday the
19th inst., for preliminary examination.
It was held the next day. There were
some sensational and revolting develop
ments. The girl, 17 years of age was en
ciente and since these facts were devel
oped it is generally believed that while
Mills killed the girl it was planned and
caused by members of her own family, ft
is tcougnt Dy some ot trie neignbors that
one ot her nearest relatives is tne father
of tbe child. It is understood that at the
final trial, September 24th, much evi
dence of a very stnsntional character will
be broogbt onu Mills, the murderer, has
an idiotic face and seems entirely un
moved.

Capt. Lancaster put tho parasite in
alcohol aed brought the bottle containing
it to the city; it is now at Dr. Street's
ollice and anyone who chooses may
see it.
Mr. J . S. Basnight proprietor of tlic
New Berne Lumber mill, upon viewing
it stated that an occurrence similar to this
came under his observation when a boy.
Tnat a bull dog owned by his people
would kill any snake he saw and had
been bitten more than once and when he
sickened and died, to test the cor
rectness of this same story the dog was
cut into, aud two of the snakes (t) were
found attached to his liver, similar to this
one, only smaller probably a little over
a foot. It was such a remarkable thing
that it vividly impressed itself upon iir.
Basnight's memory.
Presiding Elder F. D. Swindell tells us
that a brother of his had a dog which
was bitten by a snake and having heard
the statement spoken of examination was
made with the same result, one of the
reptiles b.-ing found similarly existing.
Dr. Frank Duffy was sought to give an
explanation and viewing the specimen he
accepted all the facts attending its finding
but did not believe that the bite of the
snake had anything to do with its de
velopment. He identified it a specimen of
tluc Eustrongylus gigas or strongylus
gigas as it seems to be more frequently
written. It is a parasite to which dogs
are subject, and is of the speqies of nema
tode worms. It is introduced into the
dog's system in some way, when in a larval
state and then develops and becomes the
parasite. It has a common name, the
large kidney worm. Medical works
allude to it and speak of its size as vary
ing from one or two inches up to about
three feet. This specimen seems to be an
exceptionally large one.
It seems that any dog and some other
animals are liable to be infested by it,
and the finding of it in snake bitten dogs
is merely a co-incidence.
We quote the following from a medical
work :
"This worm, recorded in the catalogue
of human parasites is doubtful as such.
Pertaining to the same familv a Anchy
lostomum, as its coimiiMii name indici.es
its usual habitation is the kidney. It i I
the largest of the nematodes, and is a
long cylindrical red worm, slightly taper
ing and blunt at the ends. The
mouth is enclosed by six rounded labial
papillae The feraa'e commonly ranges
from one to three feet in length and from
a fourth to nearly half an iuch in thick-,
ness. The male ranges from six inches
to a foot in length and from one to three
lines (a lino is the twelfth of an inch in
thickness.
"Tbe mature parasite is common in
many fish eating mammals, from which it
is interred that fishes arc the intermediate
host for the juvenile condition of tbe
worm It is Irequcnt in th'' wolf, dog,
mink, weasel, raccoon, otter and seal. It
also occurs in the hog and is reported to
have occurred in the horse, ox and man
Usually it is solitary aud occupies one of
thej kidneys coileJ upon itself.
The worm is occasiona'ly found
in other positions, as the alxlominal cav
ity, the intestine, liver and lungs, but per
haps in most of these cases has been de
rived from its usual hal itation.
''The cases on record of the occurrence
of this formidable parasite in man are of
yerv early date and are mostly doubtful
as to the authentic nature of the worm,
and are all unsatisfactory as t the atten
dent phenomena.''

Recognition of a New Berne Lady's
Art Talent.
Our talented young ladv artist, Miss
Annie Berry, who has been presiding
over the Art Department of Due West
Female college, Due West. S. C, received
quite a complimentary notice in the Char
leston News and Courier, based upon the
art exhibit of the school at the commence
ment. Appreciative mention was made
of the good work of the pupils, the pro
gress made, and the methods used. It
was stated that ' There has never been
more independent and original work done
in the art department th'in during the last
year." This is a good deal to say as to
results. Of Miss Berry herself the fol
lowing mention is made:
The art display of the Female College
is always one ot the most attractive lea
turcs of the closing week of our schools,
Every year hundreds ot visitors examine
the display and criticise or admire to
their hearts' content Miss Annie A.
Berry, of New Berne. N. O, has taught
the class this year. She is a born artist,
and has had the very highest advantages
and training, having studied in a South
ern college and then spent several years
under a private teacher and in the Art
league of New York. She is not only a
gifted artist, but is a most enthusiastic
and inspiring teacher.
Miss Berry, we are pleased to see, while
at home for the vacation, has determined
to iiive home art students the benefit of
her knowledge. She is now getting up
the class.
It might well to recall in this con
nection that when Miss Berry was a pupil
at the New York Art League one of her
pictures was selected by the committee
for exhibition at the World's Fair. This,
of itself indicates the high measure of her
talent.
How is This ,'
We observe in The Journal the
Washington Gazette states "Teach had a
presentiment of boding danger and as the
night waned he paced the quarter deck,
longing to sec the light of rosy fingered
morn appear in the eastern horizon. As
he walked the deck of his vessel, anchor
ed not far from land, a scowl was on his
brow, ever and anon, he was heard even
to the Island, to cry out O Crow Cock and
this is given as the oriiu ottheuame.
The natives to this day c.i 1 the place
O-Cro-Cock."
A clever story tiiis. and akin to the
"Old Roan Horse'' but John Lawson, the
first Surveyor General of N. O, spoils it.
On his map. "the Western Ocean," 1709,
the name will be found writtea Ocacock.
It was in 1713, tliat Teath or Blackbeard
was capture and slain by Maynard.
And also there it is on this map Ronoak
for the name of the Island and Neus for
our river, aid the point of land on vi hich
-Newbern is located Chattoka, as we all
know though there are different ways of
spelling it. However these matters ill
do good as they lead children to search
ing tho history ol the State.
Half century or more ago it was a com
mon occurrence to dig for Tench's hidden
tnasury on the Neuse shore just above
the town. Perhaps some of the holes
made by the nocturnal money diggers
might bi! designate ! at tin's day.

City Tax Levy.
The Board of city council met in spec
ial session and made tbe tax levy for the
year 1894, the same us last year 60 cents
on $1.00 valuation, and $1.80 on the
poll.
For railroad purposes there vas levied
a :j)Oc.ii.l tax of 20 cents in tho $100 val
uation and 60 cents on the poll. This
waa in aocoidance with an order recently
passed by the Board of county commis
sioners which is as follows:
North Carolina )
Craven County,
Ordered that there be levied on the
real and personal property subject to tax
ation by the City of Xew Berne a tax ol
20 cents on the $100 valuation; and 60
cents on the poll, for the purpose of pay
ing the interest on the bonds issued by
the city of New Berne in payments for its
Left Pennsylvania for New Betne,
On the east bound train this morning,
that left Durham at 6 o'clock there was
aboard a citizeu of Pennsylvania who was
leaving that State times were getting too
hard for him and he was going to locate
in New Berne. He seemed to be an in
lelligent looking farmer.

To Reach The People.
Printers" Ink, a journal devoted to the
science of advertising, in au article on
what papers to use to reach the people of
North Carolina, by Mr. J. W. Bailey, of
Raleigh, says:
"In the east the Norfolk (Va i Virginian-Carolinian,
the Wilmington Weekly
Messenger, the Kinston Free Press and
the New Berne Journal (Daily and
ever liehl li the wishes ol the Stale
troops prevail. Camp Vance will be made
the permanent encampment grounds.
Tl e train which bore the troops home
ward was co iiposed ol eighteen cars. It
left the encampment grounds at ten min
utes to six, and upon reaching New Bern
another engine w is called into rvice
and the train moved from here in two
sections.
In the train were baggage cais taking
along tbe equipments of each company.
The things used at the encampment be
longing to the State are still there. Adj
utant General Cam rn. Quarter-master
Eugene Ilarrell and C.,1. Smith, remained
over to look afler them.
The soldiers as a rule like it splendid.
at Camp Vance, some say they would
like it still better if trains ran with great
er frequency every half hour seems the
general desire with the men, but ihe fre
quency of the trains and the time of rim
ing rests with the officers. The railroad
officials accede to their wishes lully in this
matter, and the matter can be regulated
as those in authority desire.
Tne visitors at Morehead and the
citizens express pleasure at having liad
the Western N. C, soldier boys there.
Both at the camp grounds and nt the
hotels, they have deported themselves
orderly aud gentlemanly, and added to
the seasons pleasures, the general wish in
that thoy coald have stayed longer.
Cicero Dawson Drowned.
Mr. Cicero O. Dawson, son of Mr. A.
B. Dawson, of Jasper, was drowned yes
terday in Bachelor creek near the Neuse
road bridge, where lie was engaged
floating logs.
The accident occurred while the others
at work there had stopped for dinner.
The young man was heard by a colored
man to cry out but was not reached in
time to be saved. It is said he hud been
troubled somewhat with dizzy spells and
he may have been attacked by one. A
wound about his head was probably re
ceived by striking against a log a he
fell.
Mr. Dawson had but recently returned
from Trinity school, Chocowinity. He
was 17 years of age, was the oldest sju of
his father and a young man ol promise.
The faueral of Mr. Cicero Dawson of
Jasper, was largely attended. A number
of the New Berne people went out to it.
It appears that the cause of Mr. Dawson's
drowning was an attack of cramp while
he was overboard attending to the float
ing logs. The rigidity of his limbs when
the body was recovered points to this
conclusion.
Prof. Mendenhall Accepts.
Prof. E. P. Mendenhall, recently elect
ed Principal of the New Berne High
School iuforms Mr. Watson, Sect'y and
Treas , of the Board of Trustees, of his ac
ceptance of the place and that he will be
here in a few days.
We learn his purpose is to open a
boarding house, under the supervision of
his wife, for the accomodation of pupils
who do not reside in the city and Mr.
Watson is making inquiry for a suitable
house and location.
Prof. Mendenhall, will make an effort
to consolidate the several private schools
of the city with the High school, by o'
fering sucli inducements to the teachers of
these schools as will tend to the accom
plishment of that purpose.
We bespeak for him the hearty co-op
erative of our people in his efforts to
build up a first class school.

Tiie Chicago Herald gets '.ime or a

of Mr. Debs' enthusiastic admirers aie to

Mr. Rumple's Drowning.
The circumstances ath uding Mr. J. W,
Rumple's drowning at Port Republic are
that he went fishing on the afternoon of
the 14th inst., and a violent storm came
up. It was supposed he had taken refuge
at a neighbor's, but next morning (Sun
day) it being found that he had not been
there, search was instituted and his boat
found within about fifty vards ol the
house where it had drifted, just in the
condition he had ben using it.
Further searching resulted in the dis
covery ot the end ol his fishing rod pro
jecting upward out in the stream The
rod was pulled up and with it came the
body of Mr. Rumple, his hands tightly
clasped around it.
As he was a strong man and an expert
iwimmer, it wasjudged that he was struck
by lightning aud by the stroke rendered
at least powerless to make any effort for
his preservation.
The physicans who examined the body
say the indications are that the stroke of
lightning was the cause of death, that he
was dead when he fell in the water. All
the indications point this way.
Ease, of Obtaining a University Eduea
tlou.
The University of North Carolina of
fers exceptional advantages in acquiring
an education to those whose means are
limited.
It otters free tuition to bone fide school
teachers, to the sons of ministers depend
ent upon the ministry, and to candidates
for the ministry. It gives time t stUd-
ents when necessary and lends money to
the needy.
President Winston is now seeking to
make these offers generally known and it
also seeking to obtain lis's of names of
young men who might be induced to at
tend the L'niversity. He hold that a
diploma from our University will secure
for any one a position that will enable
him in one or two years to pay oft' the en
tire expense of his education. IIu says
that expenses including tujVwn need
not exceed $300, per year and $260 in
cludhig, it and as a financial investment
he considers a '-University education the
safest, the most profitable, and the quick
est to yield returns that any young man
can uake.
The last session of the University was
its 99th and was the most prosperous one
since the war interrupted its work.
The faculty consists of 18 full profes
sors and ten assistants all of whom are
skilled specialists in their departments.

A sham battle was one of the features
at the encampment Tuesday afternoon.
It was about an hour in duration, and
very interesting. The rain which we

B. G. Green, a negro man from Cliarles
ton, is in tbe city soliciting work. He
has both legs cat off at the knees, but he
manages to get around and does consid
erable work. He re-bottoms chairs, does
upholstering, and general repairing of
furniture. In this serious disability, he
continues to do all the work he can with
out appealing to charity, a woiti y lesson.
One of the most successful and observ
ant business men of North Carolina, who
has been at Morehead City a week or two
expresses the opinion that Morehead is
destined eirly to be one ot the prominent
towns of the State, and one of the leading
summer resorts of the South. We be
lieve he is right.
The members of the Slate Medical
Board which has been holding an ad
journed mieting at Morehead City to re

through Friday morning returning to
their homes.
Mr. J. L. Hahn who returned from
Morehead yesterday reports that the big
crowd there are having great enjoyment.
He was with a party that sailed down t
the light house the previous day trolling
as they went. One sero caught, weighed
twenty pounds aud it took two men to
pull him in.
The Free Press reports that J. H.
Darden has tobacco that measures six feet
and three inches across, that N. L.
Hemby showed the editor two large bolls
of cotton, one of which was grown and
informed him that the prospect was good
for a big cr )p, and it also mentions that
W. R. Rouse has a turky hen which has
laid 124 eggs since February 1st, which
he thinks beats the record.
The Christian Teachers Assembly will
be held at Littleton next week. There
will be addresses each day by ministers,
and others. Low rates are given to
members. The certificates of membership
may be secured alter arrival at $2.00 lot-
gentlemen teaohers and $1.00 for lady
teachers. Rev. J. M. Rhodes President
of the Littleton Female college will give
all information wanted.
Tne season at Morehead continues to
be a good one. The Atlantic Hotel has
gone beyond 800 guests nearly double
the number attained to last year. The
New Berne House and all the boarding
houses also are well patronized. And
the best of it is nearly all who go are
staying. This of itself proves the enjoy -
ableness of the season, There is very
seldom a time when the cooling breeze
cannot be had aud the surf bathing is de
lightful and is participated in by large
crowds.
Ihe citizen of whom we made mention
in yesterday's Jqctrsal, of moving from
Pennsylvania brought with him six
horses instead of two as we mentioned.
He has no another car load of effects on
the way. All good citizens are welcome
to our State, and the resources in this
Bection for future development untold are
therefore making a most desirable field
for prospectors and all industrious class
es. State Superintendent of Public In
struction John C. Scarboro, states that
un cJbhiiren out of every ten never at
tend any private school but are depen
dent upon the public schools for their
education. This shows the need of mak
ing the schools as good and as plentiful
as possible and of extending the time of
tbe school term to ae long a period as
can be done.
