MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Pinioned Under Wrecked and
Burning Cars an Engineer
Escapes Uninjured
A gentleman, who was on the train
that was wre.ked at Bel I Held. Va.,
was here today and gave an account
of the wreck. The railroad people
are proverbially "mum" and it iaouly
by such means that anything can be
earned of an accident on the road.
The wreck, it seems, was caused by
train wreckers who had prized a rail
from the track. At the time the
a.cident occurred the train was going
at a rate of 35 miles an hour and the
engine and a number of cars were
derailed and smashed. Curiously
enough, no one was killed, or even
badly injured. The engineer's escape
from death was truly miraculous. He
was thrown down under the wreck and
his clothes torn from him in shreds.
For some time he was held pinioned
beneath the cars and to add to the
horror of his situation the wreck
caught fire. When he was extricated
it was found that, besides the loss of
his clothes and an open faced watch
he was uninjured with the exception
of a small cut under the ear. After
wards his watch was found and was
almost red-hot from the heat of the
burning cars. It was uninjured, the
crystal, e en, not being broken and
the engineer still wears it to judge his
schedule Ly.
The loss to the road in the wrecked
and burned i-ars was very heavy. The
men who wrecked the train must have
been influenced by malice as there was
no plunder to be obtained from the
freight train.
CIRCUITCOURT.
Three Meddlers With Revenue
Laws Tried.
U. S. circuit court convened this
morning in the court room in the post
oflice building, judge Seymour presid-
ng. No business was transacted in
the morning except the swearing in of
witnesses. In the afternoon three
minor cases were disposed of.
U S. vs. Julian W. Jones, Harnett
comity, illicit distillnig; guilty; judge
ment reserved.
U. S. vs W. H.Dane, Harnetcounty,
retailing, not guilty.
U. S. vs. Burwell Perry, retailing.
This vase had not been disposed of at
3:30 o'clock.
All Gloriously "Jagged."
One of the funny things in life was
the sight presented today by a deputy
sheriff, who had just brought in three
prisoners charged with illicit distil
lery, gloriously drunk. "You are
the last man I would expect to see in
your oondition. How is it that you
arrest people for making the very ar
ticle yon like so well?" said a gentle
man who knew him. "I hated to do
it, ber-gosh," said tha jolly deputy,
"but I shore killed their stuff." If
the prisoners he brought had them
selves abstained from "old barley
corn" they could easily have mad a
their escape, but both they and the
deputy seemed to be on the beat of
terms and parted regretfully at the
door of the jail.
A Batch of Federal Prisoners.
Yesterday afternoon the number of
"boarders" at the jail was increased
by a quota of United States prisoners
who come for trial before the federal
court. They are William Keese and
wife, white, from Henderson; Ned
kipper, colored, from Moore county;
Preston Pemberton, colored, from
Fayetteville: Guilford Dunn, from
Dunn; Charles Henderson, colored,
from Rockingham; E. J. Carmada,
white, from Fayetteville. All are in
dicted for violations of the revenue
laws, some for retailing and some for
illicit distilling. Skipper tried to live
dp to his name but was overtaken by
the long arm of the law.
A Sad Accident.
A few days ago, at Franklinton, Mr.
W. T. Perry was thrown from his
wagon and killed, his neck being bro
ken and his skull crushed. The acci
dent was caused by his horses running
away. He leaves an aged , father,
mother, wife and two small children.

Here And Elsewhere in the

Mr. J. A. Taylor, of Dunn, ii fore
man of the grand jury of the circuit
conrt.
Prof. J. H. Holmes, state geologist,
came down from Chapel Hill this
afternoon.
Mr. J. R. Foster, of Burlington, a

meeting.
Mr. J. R. Williams, who has been
visiting his daughter at Portsmouth,
returned to the city yesterday after
noon. Mrs. W. C. Isely and daughters, of
Burlington, arrived this afternoon.
They came to attend the Chris' ian

THE COMMISSIONERS
Still Engaged in Examlng Bond
Surieties of County Of Hcers
E'ect. All this morning and up to a late
hour this afternoon the county com
missioners were engaged in examining
the surieties of the county officers
elect. Mr. Adams, whose bond was taken
up yesterday, was allowed until one
o'clock to present it.' At that hour,
however, and until late this afternoon,
the board was engaged with the bond
of Mr. J. J. Rogers, register of deeds
elect, so Mr. Adams will certainly
have until tomorrow morning to get
U.ifcoa-l satisfactory shape. As it
stood yesterday the board would not
have accepted it but he yesterday
telegraphed to Mr. Riggslee, of
Durham, and he arrived this after
noon ready to sign the bond.
Nothing definite can be learned as
to what will be the outcome. It is
whispered that the board will refuse
to accept Mr.Riggsbee as a bondsman,
as he has the reputation of being a
professional in that capacity. How
ever, everything is rumor and con
jecture and nothing definite can be
known until the board reaches a de
cision. It is safe to say that Messrs. Young
and Rogers will give satisfactory
bends but, as to Knight and Adams,
there is much uncertainty.
ANOTHER WRECK.
This Time a S. A. L. Freight Has
a Smash Up.
A special to the News and Observer
from Franklinton says that the local
freight on the Raleigh and Gaston
railroad, bound south, which left there
about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
became uncoupled before reaching
Cedar creek bridge, two miles south of
Franklinton. The rear section crash
ed into the front section of the bro
ken train precipitating five loaded
oars from the south end of the bridge,
completely wrecking them and scat
tering merchandise of various kinds
in endless confusion. Five cars, with
the caboose, were left standing on the
bridge which was torn up. A wreck
ing train cleared the debris away. No
one was hurt. '
Mr Norris, of Apex, to Wed,
Mr. W. L. Norris, of Apex, a brother
of Mr. M. T. Norris of this city, will

nett's fairest daughters. Several rel
atives and friends left today to attend
the ceremony.
