Charles Gray, or Norfolk, Tries
To End His Lire.
Charles Gray, a white man who
hails from Norfolk, Va., attempted to
commit suicide eaily yesterday morn
ing, by taking lawLinnin. As it hap
pened he tiok an if erdose and still
lives.
Gray, it appears, came li.-re from
Norfolk folio ing a woman of loose
char a ter ho is now in a disreputa
ble house here. He had I eeii drunk
ever since he left Norfolk and Satur
day night went, to the house to the
man. Some words passed between
them and (iray came ba k to the city.
About 12.30 a. in. he approached a po
liceman a ud asked him where he could
get something to cure the colic. He was
directed to a drug store and rang up
the night clerk from whom he ol-
tained a t.vo ounce bottle of laudanum.
Taking the bottle he again went to
the house and called for the woman.
When she came he took her into a room
and locking the door stood with his
back against it aud swallowed the
contents of the liottle before her eyes.
The woman screamed and other per
sons in the house broke down the door
and discovered the cause of the dis
turbance. Emetics were given Gray
and police sent for. Officers Woodall
and Hashford responded and after
several hours hard work restored the
young man to consciousness. Gray
says he left Norfolk on a spree
and that the reason for his rash act
was a letter that he had received from
his people there reproaching him for
his conduct.

Information About Ambrose
Dunlevy.

egal, Ireland, asking that he advertise

now 23 years old and was last heard
from in 1875, when his mother died,
he being then four years of age. His
father, after the death of his wife,
gave his son to "an American squire,"
who Mrs. Cassady says adopted him.
Since that time Mrs. Cassidy has
heard nothing of either father or son.
She is now a widow and has consider
able means and .wishes to take the
young man, if he can be found, under
her protecting wing.

KJl'RY
Jim
Hawkins in a "Peck of
Trouble."
The case of mutual assault and bat
tery in which .'Jim' Hawkins and Ben
Curtis, both colored, recently figured,
was heard before mayor Badger this
morning. It bids fair to get Jim into
a "peck of trouble." Some time ago
he and Curtis had a fight iu Lee's sta
bles during which Curtis received a
cut on the head and Hawkins' arm
was broken. Curtis said Hawkins
used an axe. The assault, and battery
case was disposed of by binding both
lighters over to court, Curtis on a $50
bond and Hawkins $100. During the
trial Hawkins testified, after having
been warned by F. H. Busbee, Esq
counsel for Curtis, that he had used
"no ge or sharp pointed instru
ment." Curtis testified that an axe
was used and Dr. Scruggs, who at
tended Curtis, testified that the wound
was made by, some sharp instrument.
On this testimony a warrant for per
jury was s,vorn out against Hawkins
The perjury trial was set for 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. Hawkins
now has, besides a- broken arm, two
serious charges hanging over his head
It would certainly have been far bet
ter for him if he had followed the pre
cept of the Bible and "turned the
other cheek."
Killed by a Gust of Wind.
The Westminster (Md.) Gazette says
that Harold Stepling, aged 14 months
was being carried by Mrs. Jeffs, of
West Norwood, ovet to Auckland hall
when a sudden gu.st of wind took the
infant's breath away. Before it could
recover itself - it became black in the
fac and expired.
Sheriff Alderman, of Pender county
