BURNED TO DEATH. Ae4 Wamaa rertthel la ike Flames, Walk? ler Hathaae Was On'y , Few riaadred Yards At ty. One of the most shocking accidents ever happening U that neighborhood, occurred last Tuesday at Truitts, which Is about eight miles north of New Bers. s. ' Mrs. Sally Mcintosh, wife of Mr. Cal vin Mcintosh, while attending ' to her household work, being alone in the house became ignited by the flames la some un accountable way and came to death la a most horrible manner. Mr. Mcintosh, thejhusband, hard by, perhaps two hundred yards away from the home, hot heard no outcry, nntll an alarm was given by some children -re-taming from school, and npon reaching tbe house ho found his home In flames and the scorched and charred body of his wife lying across the threshold, life being completely extinct. By the help of somo neighbors who responded to the alarm, the building was finally saved. Mrs. Mcintosh was considerably ad vanced In life, being near seventy-five years of age, and was held In high esteem by the community in which she lived. The New Bern Grocery Company Is making tbe front of Its building very at tractive. The new two and eight cent Govern ment stamps have been received at the post office in this city. The present railroad station at New port will be removed to Wlldwood and a new one built at Newport It Is rare day .In Februry thl-t year, when the temperature is not above sixty degrees. It was snch a day, yesterday. There have been remarkable snn set effects for the last two nights, the bril liant after glow attracting much atten tion. The placing In line of the new iron fence around the Episcopal Church yard Is being watched wlth.lnlerest by pass ers by. Tbe front of the store on Middle street occupied by Mr. J. E. Benton, the Babet dasher, has received a new coat of paint w htch brightens up Its appearance. Mr. James P. Qulnn and Mrs. Annie F. Williams of Graven county were mar ried yesterday evening at the residence of the bride, 98 South Front street, Rev. H. C. Moore officiating. The city authorities are having some nice work done on Middle street In the waj of grading and shelling. If some way could be devlsd to repair the side walks, It would be a grett blessing to pedestrians. The New Bern Water and Light Com mission recently created by an act of the legislature, met and organized Thursday night. Mr. C. T. Watson was elected chalrm tn and Mr. William Dunn secre tary. In rebuilding tho Hughes block, the upper part will show'an elevation of 4 or 5 feet above the old structure, adding that much to tbe effect. The building will also take in the passage way that formerly was on the south side. The site for the new Methodist church building has been selected. - It will be the present location of the parsonage, corner of Middle and New streets. The plans for the nse of the building now on the lot have not yet been determined. Although It is rather early in the sea son for Irish potatoes of the 1903 grow ing, a reporter's attention was called to some growing at Mr. B. B. Davenport's store on Middle street, yesterday. Some were seen as small as a bird egg, which had sprouted from the old potato. Several carta and wagons loaded with chickens were seen coming in yesterday morning from Pamlico county. There were perhaps more chickens offered on the market yesterday than have been in one day since Christmas. They were mostly grown fowls and sold readily for sixty cents the pair.

It She'd be after us by that time, X ex pected, but of course I said nothlpgto Crocky. Sixteen of bis men bsjhftd with him, the best, I suppose,' inbja estimation, which mount pretty rcU the biggest scouDdrcbj, and the nearest thing to a white man among cmwas a big cross eyed Portuguese with a touch of the wnr brush. "We fell In with a little given pfli, ed brig heading nor'west coconnut oil, I heard afterward, she hud from the islands for Canton, and Crocky rues alongside and boards her with all his cutthroats but two. AVhat happened In the brig's cabin I don't exactly know, but when wo bad cast jo.ff and the brig had filled her rnniny topsail again tho skipper runa to the taffrall and shakes his fist at Crocky. ''You Kankeo robber,' ho yells, 'you'U pay for this os surc'B my name's' What his name was I didn't henr, for Just then Crocky fired. "The old chap stood for a bit with his fist stretched out, then down he went In a heap. "Presently he walks up to tho chap at the wheel, a half caste Dutchman by the look of him and not well used, I could see, to have the spokes of a steamer in his flippers. Dixon Just looks at tho compass and without a single word catches the man a crasher on the head with his revolver butt. Then ho looks round, tho smallest man aboard, with a plenRnnt little smile on his smooth little face. 'Take the wheel, Miguel,' he says to the big Portuguese, 'and heave this thing over the side, a couple of you.' "Well, sir, there must bo some such thing as fate after all. I believe it was this man's doom that drove blm Into sudden ferocity. At nil events it was the shooting of tho rod faced skipper that brought tho cruiser down on us. "The mate of tho brig kept her away from tho Philippines to report tho mat ter, and what does ho drop ncross six hours later but the Spanish warship. "Sure enough, next morning at sun rise there was a little Inky smenr go ing up out of tho blue behind us. Crocky hardly took his eyes off It for an hour, nnd when he found it was ris ing and spreading he comes to mo and says, 'Drive her!" Not a word more, but you bet I did drive her for all she was worth. "The stranger Btcerlmj for our smoke, of course hove herself up so fast over tho horizon thnt I knew she must bo the new cruiser, the Cld Cam peador. "The way the don overhauled us was a caution, nnd ns soon as she was near enough to show us the whiteness about her fore foot she lot drive at us. 'Long way short, my boy!' I says to myself, but I hodn't reckoned on tho latest touch In guns. The shot pitched a good half mile abend of us! "Up comes Crocky when he hours tho boom, nnd down he smashes his glass on deck when bo makes out the stran ger's ensign. 'Groat Jefferson!' ho says. 'Yellow bellies, after ill!' "I noticed that his pockets wore bulg ing with something that made him very heavy in the walk. Then comes another shot not ten feet from our smokestack and at tho screech of it Crocky seems to go clean mad. He pulls a revolver out of each breast pocket, fires at Miguel, and ns tho big Portuguese falls over the wheel whips round and pots five of his other men beforo the rest could rush him. "In the middle of the shooting I had stopped the engines, and when I turned round there was n nigger with tho blood pouring from his smashed face Just forcing Crocky over the rail, ills pockets sunk him like lead." "What was In them?" "Dollars! I fancy he Intended to sink himself with them anyhow after ho'd polished off his white crew. But now there were nine of 'em left, and when they missed tho throb of the screw they came for me like one man. "But I fought 'em with whnt no man can face steam and scalded three of them so badly that they Jumped over board and sank within twenty rods of the cruiser's boat, pulling up hard. Two of the others fired Into her and killed a seaman at his oar. That's what mado the garrote a certainty for them In any case." , "Had a middling close sbavo of It yourself by somo accounts?" i "Not quite so bad os that But you see I'd been seventy odd hours without sleep or shave thick with greaso and coal dust besides. No wonder tho Span ish lieutenant took mo for wbdt I look ed like. Bat when I got aboard tho.

"And after I'd given evidence against the five remaining picaroons I asked for this" he lugged out a long Colt navy "as a little memento of the last of the pirates." ... - Chsmloal Industry In Hamburg.

Tears and years ago Joseph Holland was. member of a Ban Franc toco atatk. pom puny which Included McKee Rankin, D. II. Harklns, Frank Mor dauut, Charles Bishop and other play ers who afterward gained prominence. Bishop' was a great Joker and.slso a good, frlond of the young man, and therj,wa a continuous struggle be tween tho two to break ear h other up Jurlnj; tho play. Vhen Dyiiy's "Pique" Was produced, Holland played the part of .Raymond Leasing and nishop that of Buuxmy Dimple. All through' the pluy Holland continually miscalled Bishop's name In the play, referring to him us "Pimple," to which Bishop re plies: "No, no. My name Is 'Dimple.' In the last act Dimple Is caught kiss ing the chambermaid, orvl Holland says, "Ilelio, hero's jcun Hmpie kissing the Klrl." On the la.t eight of the engagement Holland dec-Med to get CMn with Bishop for having stolen q line of his In "Bepararion." lie con fidixl his purpose to Mr. V -illace, with whom ho shared the dres.slug room, "I'm going to get one on HLih' to night," ho said. "I will call him by his right nnme in the last act. I will cnll him 'Dimple,' ond lie won't know what to say." He had forgotten there was a venti lator In his room, wh'.cli communicated with that of Mr. Bishop adjoining. He went on the stage very buoyantly and, seeing Bishop kissing the girl, said; "Ah, Dimple, kissing the girl. Hello! Dimple, Dimple, Dimple!" Bishop, without the. slightest sign of embarrassment, stepped to the front of the footlights and, facing the audience, said: "I'm glad that long legged thing has got my name right at Inst. He has been calling me Tlmplo' for the last two weeks." The Rot rnllt-d the Turn. Governor Bliss of Michigan had an experience with a hellhoy at tbe Talm er House In Chicago recently. The chief executive of tin- Wolverene State had tried to Joke with tho boy In but tons. The latter thought ho wns In earnest. A discourteous retort leaped to the latter's lips, hut ho restrained himself and turned away. "Why don't you answer me, young man?" persisted the governor, still bent on having his little Joke. "Don't you "SHAKE, YOUNG MAM. YOtl'nF. ALL ItlanT. know that it Is your duty to pay atten tion to what the guests of this hotel say to you?" "I don't need to have you to tell mo my duty," flared tbe boy. 'it's a cinch anyway that I'm not paid to stand here chewing tho rag with interfering, meddlesome old women like you." Tho boy turned his back on tho gov ernor and marched off. When Mr. Bliss had recovered his breath, bo started after him nnd In throe long strides was at bis side. "Shake, young man, shake. You're nil right," said ho, extending his hand. "STou called the turn on iue better than it's been done since the day tliey elect ed mo governor of uiy state." New York Tribune. Too Much Spice. Much has been written concerning John D. Rockefeller's aversion to soci ety. Certainly ho is In a position to chooso his companions and pleasure. However, many persons behove that because of his excluslvencss he Is miss ing some of the rarest pleasures of life. A business acqualptanco well known In tho financial and social world ven tured to suggest that tho oil king should enter society, adding that "socl fty as well os variety was tho spice of life." - 'Tcrhnps," admitted Mr. Rockefel ler, "but too much spice has Spoiled mnny a good dinner." Loan of Time nnd Dfetmtty. Champ Clark of Missouri Is opposed to claims of every description. He thinks congress wastes much time wrangling about bills that are mostly for Imaginary damnges anyhow. "Hero are 057 men," ho said the other day In great disgust, "each of whom.
