Some of the boiler experts and spe cial insurance adjusters were here to day on their way from Jacksonville, N. C, where the loss by the explosion of an 80 horse power boiler at the Kccleson & Parmelee lumber and plan ing mills was adjusted. On the ICth in stant the boiler, one of a battery of eight, exploded. It was blown 1,200 feet, and in its flight through the air cut down a pine tree over two feet in diameter. The explosion was due to overpressure of steam, the safety valve having stuck. The loss is 25,- 000, divided between the Hartford steam boiler and the Fidelity and j Casualty companies. The experts say the explosion was the tforst of its kind they ever saw. Six photopraphs of the scene were taken aud will be published.' Mills Burned by Lightning. The Charlotte Observer tells of the burning of the South Union cotton yarn mills, near Rockingham. A bolt of light struck the main building some distance from the lapper room and glanced and entered the latter. Iu it was a lot of lint cotton which ignited like a flash, and the flames soon en veloped its entire interior. It was at once discovered by the operatives living close by, and they braved the storm and tried to save the property. But their efforts were futile. The entire building was so filed with stifling smoke that they had to abandon their work and stand by and see the work of destruction go on. Not a thing, except perhaps a bale or two of thread, was saved from the wreck. The mill cost to build and equip $35,000; $11,-' 000 insurance. Dr. Shearer's Lecture. Rev. Dr. J. B.

GOODNE "SFROM CHATHAM AlT. T.no TTco the Egypt Coal. In an interview a few days ago with Mr. Samuel A. Henszey, the energetic president of the Egypt, coal company and of the Raleigh and Western R. R. Co., the Pittsboro Record was inform ed of the progress being made by these two corporations. For several months the Egypt coal eompany has been putting in some expensive and improved machinery with a capacity of hoisting 100 tons of coal an hour, and this work now having been com pleted the output of the mine will be greatly increased. A contract is about being completed with the Seaboard Air Line Company for supplying all the coal that will be used by that ex tensive system of railroads, which will amount to 300 tons a day. The suc cessful working of this coal mine will be of great benefit to Chatham county, and employ a large number of men. The grading of the Raleigh aud Western railroad is now completed to Harper's X roads, a distance of 15 miles, and it is expected to have trains running to that point before Christ mas. When completed this road will run from Egypt to Asheboro, and be of great benefit to the citizens of the country traversed by it. The Origin of the Fire. The origin of yesterday's fire in the house at the corner of South Salis bury and West Hargett streets, was queer. A colored man was at work in the third floor in one of the rooms, and seeing some oil on the floor set fire to it, thinking that a convenient way to remove the oil. He says he beat out the fire with a broom, or rather thought he had done so, and then went to the second floor. He saw smoke and ran upstairs, to find the floor and also the low ceiling on 'fire He triecf to put it out, but to no pur pose. Then the alarm was sent in The excellent fire department quickly gave the house a thorough washing The old building is to be remodeled and the old roof.removed, so Mr Ayer, the owner, does not seem to care for the fire. : .

At the last meeting of the board of agriculture commissioner Robinson made an excellent report- on roads. In this he said: "My humid- opinion i that the couvicts should all be worked upon the public roads except those whose sentences will not admit of their being outside of the peiiitentiary walls. Upon this, however, I crave an expression from your honorable body." The board adopted the following resolution: "Your committee to which was re ferred that part of the report of the commissioner (f agriculture with re spect to the general subject of roads and highways beg leave to submit the following report: "1. Thai the matter has received the careful consideration of the com mittee and the vast importance of the subject is. again emphasized. The views of the commissioner are com mended to our people for careful con sideration. "2. That in view of the magnitude of this subject, and the great interests involved your committee would re spectfully recommend that the execu tive committee of the board of agricul ture be instructed in the preparation of tha report of the board to the next session of the general assembly to call attention in a concise and definite manner to the prominence of this mat ter as involving the material interests of North Carolina, to suggest some practical method of working and keep ing in repair our public roads, aud to uge upon our representatives in that body the necessity of definite and prompt action, to the end that the condition of our highways may be im proved and made of material benefit to the people of our State." - The Weather Report. For North Carolina: Fair, warmer in western portion. Local forecast: Friday fair and very warm. Warm wave. Local data for 24 hours end ing 8a. m. today: Maximum tempera ture 88; Minimum temperature 70; rainfall 0.

Elsewhere the weather is fair aud warm. Probabilities: Two r three very warm and probably fair days are likely to occur. Friday will be fair and very warm. Some Old Citizens. F'ive old citizens of Raleigh were ac cidentally met today, whose respect ive ages are 81, 77, 73, 73 and 70 years. uomDinea tuey represent an years. The Visitor would give their names, but two are widowers, with some prospects of early matrimony. Notwithstanding this accidental gath ering those aged and highly respected fellow-citizens enjoyed a very happy period of two hours in talking over the "long-ago past," which was full of interest to one much younger who listened. Cotton Bagging Deduction , Recently an article was clipped from a Philadelphia paper complain ing of the weight of the bagging used on cotton from some of the southern states. When a farmer sells a bale of cotton to a dealer six per cent of the weight of the bale is knocked off to allow for the bagging. This is tne only rule under which European deal ers will accept American cotton. For merly the cotton dealers obtained a rebate of three per cent; from the cus tom house, but that practice has now been discontinued. Impaled on a Wagon Tongue. Patbrson.N, J., July 25. James F. Foyle, a collector for the Metropoli tan life insurance company, met death in a remarkable manner while on one of his tours. He had just turned from Mulberry into River street when he was confronted by two frightened horses. At the same moment they dashed away in the opposite direction, throwing the ,pole of the wagon for ward. It shot out towards Foyle and, struck him in the breast, going clear through his body and piercing the wall of a house on the' corner. Death was instantaneous.
