Dunn, Va xpert Railroad Ulen. A party of experts, representing the New York Bondholders of the C. F. & Y. V., are on a tour of inspection over the road. The train was backed to Benuettsville yesterday so that they could better see the physical condition of the road. The fol lowing composed the party: Col. H. L. Douglas, Baltimore; Mr. W. B. Parsons, New York; Maj. W. M. S. Dunn, Virginia, and Messrs. J. W. and H. L. Fry. Major Dunn was the popular Superin tendent of the C. F. & Y. V. at one time, succeeding Col. Morrison' and preceding General Manager Fry. Major Dunn was indisposed during his short'stay here, and regrets that he was unable to see his old friends. Drowned or ITIurdered? Little Henry Bland, with his father and older brother Charlie, work in the Fayetteville Wooden Ware Factory. He has been missing since yesterday. Henry was one of a party, composed of the Bucket Factory hands, that went fishing yester day up the Cape Fear to the R. R. bridge. Whil&Charlie returned to town for a new hook Henry got separated from the others. A search was made for the little fellow, but he could'not be found. This morning thirty men marching through the streets created much excitement, and upon in quiry, it was learned that they were hands of the Bucket Factory, going in search of their lost friend and favorite. Dr. McNeill and Mr. C. L. Taylor, had or dered the Factory closed for to-day, so that proper search could be made. Some think that he has met with foul play, while others are of the opinion that he fell in the river and was. drowned.1 The Evangelistic Acrobat. The famous Evaugelist Crumpler was in "our midst" this morning. He wore a white linen duster over his corpulent person and created much curiosity. Ho is on his way to Georgia, where he has been invited to hold numeious meetings. His i : me has spread all over the country, and Le re ceiver hundreds of calls every clay. In an iuterview, he stated that the ob ject of his presence hero was to see about an auditorium for the mseting he proposes to hold here on his return from the South. He said thit the rep ; t that he jumped six feet in the F.ir without moving a muscle was absurd, but that in his excitement he might clear thrue feet. The Rev. Mr. Crumpler is full of en thusiasm which, when transmitted to his hearer, takes on the form of hypnotism as shown in the marvelous manner in which he puts his converts into trances, and the wonderful nature of the visions beheld by them. His doctrine; Snctification, simply means sinlessness after conversion. Quick Work. Last night at 11 o'clock Deputy Collec tor Troy was at the Opera House attend ing the Carnival when he received a message that a moonshine still was in full operation not far from China Grove church in-Harnett count'. Collecting a posse, all well mounted, he left "for the scene, surprised the blockaders, destroyed about one thousand gallons of beer and the stilling outfit and was back home at day light. ' No blood was shed, the moonshiners disappearing as'if swallowed up by the earth. A Magnificent Success. The great carnival is over, but the memory survives of the sea'of frantically applaud ing people in the auditorium, the army of pretty little girls, handsome young women and manly boys, some in superb costumes, others fantastically arrayed, as they marched upon the stage, and in turn without a falter, delivered themselves of their parts. The splendid stagiug of the several tab leaux, the brilliant colored lights and the melody of the sweet songs, accompanied by the unparalleled music of the Big Six Or chestra will long linger in the minds of the five hundred people present. There were 75 different acts, and we would do an injustice to the whole by mentioning only a few. To the noble women who were instru mental in the success of the Entertainment, and the youthful actors, all of whom dis played much talent, the thanks of all lovers of the memory of our Confederate Dead, are due. We venture to say that there is no other town in the South, big or little, thr.t could put an army of young folks on the stage with so much credit to herself. The net proceeds to be turned over to the Confederate Monument Fund will be $182 70. To Mr.j. S. L. Romsburg, Mrs. E. J. Lilly, Mrs. B. R. Huske, Miss McGilvary, assisted, by Misses Matthews, Sedberry and Maggie Pemberton the main credit is due for its complete success. , People and their Movements. Sheriff I.I .'Artan and son, of Harnett, are in the city. Mrs. Stedman Black, ot St. Paul's, was here shopping this morning. Capt. J. L. Autry and daughter, Miss Ida, of Autryville, are in the city.
