A SAD DROWNING.
John Henry Falls From His Sharpie and
Sinks In Sight of Many People.
The sharpie BhnU was sailing past the
E. C. D. dock yesterday afternoon abou
4 80 o'clock. At the helm was a colored
man while her master, John Henry, a
young white man 13 years of age, waa
moving abbot forward. People on the
docks were noticing the craft,, the
steamer Ocracoke being just about leav
ing, and they saw Henry fall overboard,
Just from what cause they eould not
telL
The first thing the man at the helm
noticed was in seeing his captain float
ing by close to the stern of the sharpie.
The man threw over the helm and the
. sharpie fell off before the wind bat in
rounding did not pass close enongh to
the captain strangling in the water. The
colored man tried to throw him a line
bat it was too short and the vessel
passed on beyond reach. Before it could
be brought about again Henry had dis
appeared. Another sharpie coming
along behind was only a few minutes too
ate to give assistance.
When Henry went overboard and then
appeared on the surface, he shouted
loudly for help and attracted the atten
tion of the people on market dock only
a few hundred feet away, very unfortu
nately there was not a boat at the dock
that could be pushed off to the drowning
man, and there had been boats there all
daring the previous part of the day. In
pushing one boat Into the water It filled
and could not be used, Henry eould not
swim yet he managed to keep himself up
for awhile, a long anxious time to those
who were looking on and helpless to
lend a had to bim In his extremity. As
they looked on he sank for the last time
below the surface. iVa. v
John Henry's home was at Balrds
Creek where his mother now lives. He
was 29 yoara of age. The body was
dragged for the rest of the afternoon but
could not be located but as the place
where he sank waa well located further
efforts will probably be successful.

List Right s Hall Train Met With an Ac
. cldcntHearTascarora.
Shortly after five o'clock yesterday
afternoon the east bound mall train on
the A.4H.C railroad ran off the track
at a point 13 miles from this city. Just
above Tuscarora. The damage was not
as great as might have been urccted,
but the accident eenscJ considerable
trouble and loss.
The accident was due to tbe criminal
act of some one wto placed a rail upon
the track, feyeral loose rails were
alongside the track and one of these had
been placed so as to project a foot or
more across the track. The obstruction
was seen by engineer Marshall of the
mail train and be slowed down his train
as quickly as possible, but was unable to
avoid an accident. It was due to (he
engineer's prompt action and sticking
to his post that a disaster was avoided.
Tbe engine left the track and was fol
lowed by one or moro ct the cars and
they bumped along on the cross tics
quite a distance. Tbe engine was one
of the new Baldwin locomotives, No. 10,
lately added to the qutptneot of tbe
road and was considerably damaged but
to what extent could not be ascertained
and it will have to go Into tbe repair
shops to be thoroughl overhauled.
There was no one injured, although the
shake up was considerable, especially to
tie engineer at his post
A relief train left here after the acci
dent became known and relumed about
nine o'clock with - the passengers ami
mail and then proceeded on to .Morebeml
'"ty. A wrecking train a'so was tent to
the scene and it wss thought that the
damage would bo repaired by miming
i'raiu nuiuli-. r 0, which left here at 0 30
last night, did i o get thronch but tbe
railroad pcop'-o' expect to get this train
through in lime to connect it Unlds'ooro
in the morning at 8 30 o'clock u: return
on the regular morniDg schedule.
The Matter Adjusted.
The following explains iiselr and i in
reference to a matter th;it occurred some
months ann, jiimI which as published in
this paper:
New Beru, N. C. April !ltb.
To Mr. b 11. Scott, ' .
Sir: In order to fully settle and ad
just tbe pending litigation silting out of
the unfortuna'e circumstances from
which our differences have Krlsen, we
desire to say: That the assau't made by
us upon your son, Fred M. Scott, having
been brought about through certain ru
mors upon will u we hasltly acted with
out having first ascertained the truth of
the matters brought to our ears, which
if actuallj known to us, would have
prompted us to have acted more pru
dently and thus avoided the ilifllculliei
which resulted from our hasty action.
We have sincerely regretted the occur
rence, aud have often wished that the
unfortunate affair had never occurred,
and feel great relief that the pending
litigation has now been adjusted to our
mutual satisfaction. With the ending
of the litigation wo earnestly trust all
matters of difference from which this
litigation arose will also end, with the
expression of our sincere regrets of the
entire occurrence.
Very sincerely,

QUITBA BLAZE.
Good Work ef the Department Prevents
Farther Damage.
Aboat 9 o'clockjlast night the rear of
the residence of Mrs.) A. B, Powell oa
upper Middle street was discovered to
be on lire. The flames spread quickly
and by thetlme thejflre department was
at the place the kitchen waa In full blaxe
and the main part of the house was on
fire on outside. The streams of water
soon prevented tbe spread of the fire but
the kitchen was about consumed, the In
terior of the main building being little
damaged except bysmoke and some wa
ter. The dwelling ef Mr. M L Hollowell ad
joining was, badly scorched, the entire
side of the house being in a light blaze
but it was only "skin deep." Tbe loss to
the Powell residence was probably about
$3C0 lucluding the fixtures and this was
stated to be covered by Insurance.
The origin of the fire la unknown but
it was believed that It must have been
incendiary as no cause could be assigned
The fire was close to the stable on the next
lot which was nearly destroyed some days
ago and which waa thought to have been
set on fire.
There Was More Damage.
.The fire night before last which de
stroyed the kitchen adjoining the resi
dence of Mrs. A. B.Powell and injured the
dwelling to some extent, wss the cause
of much greater damage ,to the resi
dence ofMr. M. L Hollowell tbafl was
reported.
Tbe fire caught the side of house next
ihe Powell residence but the first sttesm
of water thrown acalucst It seemed to
have extinguished It. However, the

H e liliizp. The house was well wet down
snd n.ticb loss resulted. Vr. Hollowell
had lutely had the houe depurated rud
papered and tho plaster and wood work
Is badly Injured. The loss is fully $1000
which Is covered by insurance.
The theory that the lire waj of at In
cendiary origin seems to be doubted and
it is best that such reports sheuld not be
made unless there Is goo I ground for
thcni.
Mr. Hollowell wishes to thank tbe
Fire Department for their efforts in sav
ing his home. Mrs. Powell also desires
o thank the firemen.

STORY OF STORM.
Navel Reseyes Had Rough Experience
on Board Tbe Hornet.
. Charleston S. C, April 8. Having left
Wilmington at 8 A. M. yesterday we had
a splendid sail down the river at about
an elghtcen-knot speed. We crossed
the bar at 10:30 with the weather as
fine as if made to order. Aboat S P.M.
however, .the ship's condenser tubes
and boiler tubes sprung a leak,' and the
speed was reduced to about 8 to 10 knots
The tubes were leaking so 'badly that
the firemen were unable to keep up
steam, we arrived off Charleston about
7:3t)-lhe same n gut but were unable to
go lz and anchored for the night. About
10:30 1. M , a heavy southeaster sprung
up aud we were blown off shore about
25 intles. Towards mldnlgnt the tubes
were leaking so badly that firemen
were unabie to work at all. Men were
all called to (iiarifrs,glven buckets and
began bailing It was reining hard,
nun weiu nearly all sick, but those
i hut weie able io do so, kept hard at
work, aud about 8 A. M. the pumps
were repaired aud put to wotk. Anchor
was willed a'loul ll:o0 and we cruised
around sorre lime, until the lightship
wH bigbltd about two o'clock. Abou
this time our steering gear got out of
order aud w were delayed sometime
iu fixing this When this was repaired,
we started agala, and by 5:15 P. "M
were tied up safe and sound at Jackson
& Company's coal pier.
The ship will le thoroughly over
hauled here before we retufn, snd we
hope that all of tho trouble will be over,
It took us over fifty-seven hours to
make the trip when we should have
made it in twelve hours at least, When
we arrived, we met Algonquin, just
gidug out to look for us. WU. Star.
Wilmington, April 8. Much anxiety
was felt here for the North Carolina
Navel Brigade, aboard tbe United State
steamshsp Hornet, when it became
known that tbe vessel had not reached
Charleston prior to an early morning
storm at sea to-day. Telegrams were by
hundreds to every point on the coast
frora Wilmington t Charleston until
the good new s came that the ship had
passed pufely over the Charleston bar at
4:30 p. m.
A Chance Ot A Lifetime.
The wonderful factory sale of high grade
pianos continues to attract wide spread
attention not only in New Bern but In
the surrounding territory. There is no
excuse for any music loving home to be
without ' an elegant piano; for dur
ing this sale the management will sell on
almost any terms. . How do we do it,
well in the first place Chas M. Stieff is a
manufacturer so when you buy from him
you save the middlemans profit about(33i
per cent or f L33.C0 on each piano.)
: Secondly we are big advertisers snd
we consider that in selling flffy pianos
at cost or even less than cost is the
strongest kind of an ' "ad" for each
piaco is a credit to onr house and ad
verttses itself every time It is plsyed on.
-Thirdly our employers are all straight
salaried men, and therefore yon do not
have to pay commlsion to "agents" "snb
agents" "dealer", etc. Ton buy direct
from tbe manufacturer and asvo two
or three commlsions. These are only
few reasons why we can sell you a high
grade piano at very ltitlo cost. And we
ask you aren't they reasonable arguments
Kemcinbcr each Instrument Is fully
guaranteed In writing, and the
highest value will be allowed on old
Instruments taken in exchange. We are
keeping our stock up and you can have
your pick of a dozen.. Every one of
them beauties. Drop In and hesr Mas
