Extra work is progressing steadily at the Fayetteville Military Academy for the June Commencement of that excellent in stitution, and the Superintendent, Col. T. J.

Mr. Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh, will deliver the address, and, later on, the Observer will give the programme in full. Municipal Politics.

This morning the ca&e of Andrews vs the Postal Telegraph Company was re sumed. Mrs. Andrews, a modest looking pretty woman, one of the plaintiffs, went upou the stand and testified: Sho detail ed the circumstances of the death of her father, the late Benard Plummer, on the night of October l?th, 1893, during the absence of her husband; she and her hus band and father lived alone. She was strickened with grief, which was intensifi ed, and increased on account of the ab. sence of her husband. She requested her father-in-law to wire her husband at Elizabethtown. Sho was informed the office was closed at 9 p. m. Her distress over the continued absence of her husband was great. Her father was buried before her husband arrived. Mr. J. L. Andrews, Sr., acting for Mrs. Andrews, sent delivered telegram to Mr. D. S. McRae, operator for defendants office, at about 8 a. ra. next morning, just as soon as office opened. Paid the toll. Plaintiffs rested their case. The defense called Mr. McRae, who ad mitted receiving the telegram, but said he notified Andrews that it was subjected to indefinite delay, etc. Mr. G. L. Hali, operator-at Elizabeth town, said he was on line repairing between Elizabethtown and Wilmington, and did not return until 8.50 p. m. on night of 18th. Then received message.
