The backbone of the hot spell was broken yesterday and everybody was glad Until three o'clock the weather was sultry and uncomfortable when the air became cooler on account of a thun der storm. The mercury stood at 90 de grees. A colored woman, the wife of William Elliott, who lives in James City, was struck by lightning yesterday afternoon and for a while It was thought she was dead, but later on she revived and al though badly burned on the face and side, she will recover. The woman was about fifty years old. A late city ordinance was interpreted to require hack drivers to be not less than eighteen years of age, which was considered to be a good regulation, but "the law seems to have died a natural death. Boys of much younger age are seen driving hacks and no notice Is taken of It. The coffee urn adventured by the Broad street grocer, J L McDanlel to be given to the church who received the largest number of votes of the white star coffee coupons, has been awarded to the Centenarv M E church, who received 1385 points. The Water and Light Commission have purchased a larger engine and another dynamo for the electric light and water works plant.

The engines were lo cated on Pollock street lnjfront of Christ church for several hours. Beports are heard every little while of does attacking children. None have bean serious but they are not pleasant affairs at all. Bnapping and biting curs are quite numerous In the city, they are a nuisance. Anvdoe that attempts to Heritor annov a child should not be al lowed on the street. During these hot nights nothing would be more enjoyable than a ride on the river. It would be as fine a social affair at could be arranged. Why would it not be a good scheme to organize a party and have a few rides on the river either In tail boat or steamer f We can have It with or without the moon iuBt as we choose. Isaac H Smith was a prisoner at the ' Mayor court yesterday. He had viola ted the ordinance found In Section 7, chapter 4 city ordinance! relative to driving oyer the city fire hose when In use. He was assessed the costs, $3.25 Some claim Ignorance of this law, but it was published in the Journal about month ago, There an now twelve persons, one white, the remainder colored, rustlcat lng In the county "house of refuge" on Craven street The most of them are in tor petty offenses, and tome for the dis comfort occasioned by the hot weather ' are taking life easy. A quarlett was enlivening the day with vocal music, yes terdsy, while others were lnteligently (?) discussing the lynching and trust ques- tlons, ar A great many watermelons are arrlv lng here In boats every day that are only fit to feed to hogs. They are small - and of a diseased nature and should not be told or eaten. Such stuff , no doubt causes slot of tlcknest In town. Has the health officer a right to forbid the tale of melons or truck that It unfit to eat? If so, that officer can find work at - the market dock. ;'.v' A prominent fanner of Jones county, In conversation with the reporter, said, that cotton had been seriously Injured In bis county by both the rain and extreme ly hot weather. The rains, had packed the ground to hard that to break It was only to etpose the cuton roots to the hot tun, which heat ctused the plant to 'Art Bp" and shed the boils and forma. Tht crop will be very abort. Tha Kinston Fret Press tells of a law tult that will be Instituted In Lenoir county which promises to be of more than local Interest The tult vu brought by B. N.

Fields along with '.two othjr white men , and one negro were banished from the State, and on leaving, the former made a deed of trust of his property to his brother W, C. Fields, and since It is said that a deed of conveyance was made to the trustee, the consideration being based on the original valuation of the proper tv.

Boanth. - to Haw BdCgH A Derelict Stranded An old drag or acta kiud of "contrap- slon" used as a retail Ice wagon, was heavily loaded with a block of ice at the factory yesterday. The driver with a great flourish of whip over the "bag of bone?" called by respect a horse started off the progress. A. few yards, and the "craft" parted company; the Impoverished beast reeled forward, the rear part of the wooden construction rolled backward, the driver stood on the end that nature did not in tend for him to stand on, and the block of ice stood by him. The wreck, to eicept the Ice and the animated part of It, stood there all day yeste'day In the way of vehicles passing and would no doubt stay there until the city hai It removed. DOVER.

Fire Box Needed The need of a fire alarm box at the A & N C station becomes more apparent on the occasion of every fire in that neighborhood. Many of the houses around there are mere fire traps and alarms are frequent. Yet to send in an alarm the sender must chase all the way to the Ice factory. On one occasion It Is said that In the confusion, a man who discovered a fire near the depot actually started to run for the fire department quartcrs,and was stormed bv some one at the corner of Johnson and Craven streets, who Bent the alarm In from that corner. No one had thought In the meantime to go to the box at the ice factory. The putting up of a box is not very expensive, H Is needed, and the'people around the depot want it, and they should have It. aU Letter to G. N. Ennett. New Bern, N 0. Dear Sir: Lead and-oil Is not good paint; don't wear; the rule is, as every. one knows, repaint In three years. Devoe lasts six, In the same way-al low wide margin In all such statements. What does it mean, to last? It means the same with both. As to covering: that's another. Here' an Instance. Mr J J Hall, Sheffield, Pa., painted two houses, lead-and-oll; took 40 gal lons. Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe for the same two houses; returned 10 gal Ions. The paint, that covers, lasts; It's paint, true paint, and full-measure. Lead and-oll Is all paint but not good paint; the lead wants zinc. Better paint De voe. Yours truly F W Devoe 4 Co. E W Smallwood sells our paint. Extremely Hot Weather.

Several of New Bern's enterprising citizens, among them, J A Jones, OD Bradham, Thos A Henry and a number of others, have purchased granite slabs to curb the side walks In front of their residences. Putting down curbing means better side walks, and no doubt other citizens will feel pride enough for the looks of their premises, to follow the example of those mentioned. It Is not out of the range of possiblll ties that New Bern will yet have decent side walks. With a few exception!, the streets are already In much better condi tion than they were a few months ago.
