The reports of correspondents of the weekly weather crop bulletin issued today indicate that the weath er during the past week has been warm, with abundant sunshine and occasional showers, chiefly on the 8th and 11th, which were heaviest in the western district. Rain is still needed everywhere, and at places where no showers have occurred for two weeks or more the drought is becoming serious. The appearance of the seven teen year locust is generally reported. In this district there "re many com plaints of damage to potatoes by the potato bug. Killed by a Train. Tbe train on the Seaboard Air Line which left here for Hamlet at 10:15 a m, struck a colored man near Cox's crossing, and inflicted injuries which resulted in death in an hour. The man was Charles Clemmons and his age was apparently about 85. He was walking along the track and though the warning whistle was repeatly blown he paid no heed to it. He was brought back to the depot by the train and two physicians of the Rex hospital staff were at once summoned and gave him attention. He was placed in the baggage room. The en. tire rear of the skull was crushed and the blood poured in a stream. The physicians evidently thought his case hopeless, so terrible was his injury. He was placed in a Bpring wagon and taken to the hosp tal. Just before reaching it he aiea. it was some time before his name, could, be as oeitained. It was learned that his home was in the northern part of the city, near the oil warehouse, and that he was not of sound n ind. The rail way company did everything that could be done for the unfortunate man. Tbe railway tracks between here and Method are a . regular high way and scores of people can daily be seen walking upon them. All ought to be careful in watching for trains, for there is always danger. The Rex hospital will regularly open tomorrow. Mr Ben Rogers is appointed janitor and chief male at- tendant. There is a movement for the estab lishment of a ootton mill at Hender terns Picked Op and Boiled Down. Two or three Raleigh people will go to Europe this summer. Rust in wheat was noticed yester day on some farms near here. This mouth three men havebeen killed by trains in Wake count?. Two persona were baptized yester. day at tbe Fayette ville street Baptist church. Three persons yesterday became n embers of Edenton street M E church. A mad dog was killed yesterday in tbe northern part of the city, in the yard ofMrH Steinmetz. The work of securing subscriptions to the capital stock of the Melrose cot ton mills continues to progress well. House, the white man who not long ago cut his throat and narrowly es caped death, is insane and will be taken to the asylum tomorrow. The performance of the boy' circus this evening will no doubt attract many people. Each purchaser of a ten cent ticket gets ice cream free. Governor Carr orders a special term of Edgecombe superior csurt, for civil cases, of two weeks duration, to begin July 23. Judge Armfleld will preside. Forty five persons who were recent ly converted at a revival at Mt Mo riah colored Baptist church at Ober lin were baptized yesterday at Mr Pullensnew pond. The " Confederate concert" which is to be given next Monday evening is to be an elaborate affair, it is said the most extensive heard here since the exposition concert in 1891. The case of W H Wilson against John U Smith for slander has been compromised out of court. Wilson sued for $5,000 damages to his char' acter, and has compromised for $50 Yesterday afternoon an engine and special car left here for Gainesville, Ga., taking a very sick child of Mr John H Winder there. The physio cians recommended the change. The child is only a few months old. Mention was made in the Visitor Saturday of the capture of John W Benson, ex treasurer of Bladen conn county. A special from Elizabeth- town says he was captured at his home near there, by W D May and O A Waddell. Ben on is charged with the embezzlement of several thou sand dollars of county's funds some months ago He fled and was cap tured, but got out of jail. He is now in jail. Mr C B Barnes, a much esteemed young man, died yesterday at his home at the Pilot mills. He was a native of Baltimore, but lived some years in Richmond county. He was an employee of the mills, and was 88 years of age. He was a member of Brooklyn M E chnrch and also of the Christian Endeavor society.

Building and Loau Associations The JNews Ubserver-Uhronicie says editorially that the action of the U S senate committee in relieving from the income tax those building and loan associations which merely lend their funds to shareholders to enable them to build and own their homes, is commendable. It adds that: "Such associations are not in the nature of corporations organized to make prof its, in the way of trade, but have been of immense advantage to the communities in which they have been organized, and tens of thousands of families are now enjoying benefits de rived through them. The money paid in is in a measure the property of all; all are interested in it. The south has not realized the full benefit of such institutions, but the time is come when we should seek to do so. I They can materially aid our people in tbe straggles oi ute, ana we snouia promote them as far as practicable." An Important Decision. Late Saturday evening the supreme court sent Gov Carr a letter contain ing its opinion regarding the length of terms of justices and judges. The court, holds that when the governor appoints to fill a vacancy tbe election following such an appointment is to fill only the unexpired term and does not have the effect of entitling the person elected to the full term of eight years. The opinion is signed by the chief justice and justices Avery and Bur well. The three have no per sonal interest whatever in the matter ai judge Avery's term does not expire for two years and judges Shepherd and Burwell being recently appointed will, of course, have to be elected at the next election. A Word With Too.. Mr George H Mitchell has the ad vertisement and subscribtion depart ment "of the Evening- Visitor in charge and will thoroughly canvass the city.

Arrivals at the Tarboro: P B Mc Kenney, Atlanta; W C Petty, Manly; C D Mclver, Greensboro; R H Patter, son, Falto; W Rowland, ,Jr, Vienna, Austria; J E Ijams, Balto; T H Pace Mass; J W Spencer, Atlanta; R P Tay lor, Oxford; P M Kenna, Cortland, N Y; Levi Blo-int, Plymouth; W J Har dison, Willlamston. Senator Gordon goes to the com mencement of the State normal and industrial school at Greensboro at the expense of tbe students, who themselves desire to make this great contribution to the entertainment of visitors. As the address is consider ed one of the finest in a decade, the extent of the enterprise of the stu dents will readily be seen and appre elated. V Saturday quite a party returned from a six day fishing trip at Honey cutt s pond, in Johnson county, twenty four miles from here. The luck was fine, chub, jack and perch being the principal fish caught. In the party were mayor Badger, E B Engejhard J R Ferrall, Ernest Bain, E L F.dtniug, J W Cross Jack Dun can, E M Uzzell and I B Stevenson; certainly a party to deserve good luck. On the 4th instant Dr J T Reld, of Old Fort, a member of the state board of charities, died. Gov Carr has ap- pointed Dr T B T witty, of Ruther ton, to succeed him. Secretary Den son of the board says that it will meet here on tbe 18th instant and be in session two days. The national association of charities and correc tions meets at Nashville May 23. As yet the only rates secured to it are one and one third fares. Captr Den son says he hopes to get a lower rate The Roanoke Fa.'.n Mention was made a few days ago about the arrival of Isaac H Foust the Salisbury defaulter, at the peni tentiary and it was also said that next week he would be sent to the state farms on the Roanoke. All con victs are treated alike. Tbe health fulness of the farms is materially im proved and steadily improving, and now compares favorably with that of the penitentiary itself., The authori ties are always working in this direc tion. The reports on the convicts at the farms will show that the health of the convicts there is as good as that of those who were em ployed on the Western North Caro lina railroad.
