ease. Health officer T. P. Sales has turn
pleted the making oat of the health
report for Jane. The report makes a
good showing, as in fact, etateineu:
of the condition of Raleigh's health
always do. The thirtjr-three deaths
reported it smaller number than the
report show to have occurred last
Jan. The deaths per mouth are
shown by comparison with other jears
to gradually grow less. The mortali
ty was larger thau iu May, the hot
weather probably being the cause.
There were thirty-eight deaths and
of these severteeu were white and six
teen colored. The report is white
males 12, females 5; colored males 0,
females 10. Eighteen of these who
died during the mon J were under
Ave years of age, aud there weie three
over seTeuty.
There were in all seventeen births,
of which number ten were white and
even colored. Tue report is, white
males 7, females 3; colored, males 3,
females 4.
OiUcer titles reports the sanitary
condition of the city to be excellent.
There is no typoid lever or malignant
diseases.

The VisrioK was perhaps a trifle
weeping yesterday iu its denunciation
of Raleigh street car ' conductors.
There are several in regard towbom the
remarks might tend to raise a false
impression. These are polite and effi
cient and have never coud acted them
selves otherwise thau as gentlemen
and oondnotors. There may be others
bat the Visitor is acquainted with
only these, Messrs. McAden, Howell
and Keeling, all of whom are courte
ous and gentlemanly in their conduct.
Thin, statement, however, does not
constitute any general retraction of
the remarks of yesterday, which are
considered, with the above corrected
exception, to have ueen just and de-nerved.
HID llEMLND A IIARIIEL.
But Earne.i 1 rice'a TMevinjj,
Came Did not Tan Out.
The rain last evening rami in good
time for Mr. V.. F. B-Mn, ho keeps a
s'ore on Hart-tt street. Us coming
probably saved Liu many dollars'
worth of good.
As the More keeper etaed home
about 10 30 oVlork, the rain poured
do u and caught him without an um
brella. Remembering however, that
this useful article was iu his store, he
hastened there, and eutered to get it.
He etrujk a liKht, procured the um
brella and had started to leave when
he saw what h supposed to be a east
oil coat, I ehind a barrel. The neit
moment the coat moved abd Mr. Belts,
jumping over the barrel, landed on a
good azd negro boy who wait in hid
ing there.
The would-be thief fought fiercely
and it was only when Mr. Terry ran
from C. O. Ball's to Mr. Betts' assis
tance that he could be subdued. Then
a policeman came aud Ernest Trice
was soon safe in the station bouse.
Mayor Russ this morniug .sent the
latter to jail in default of a hundred
dollar bond, to make bis appearance
at the July term of court. Trice says
he is only twelve years old, but twen
ty would appear to be nearer his act
ual age.

Strange Freak of Lilitninx.
Lancaster, .July 1. Dr. K. O. Lyt.e,
principal of the Millers Ptae Normal
School, and his two son Li i M. and
Joshua, aged 8 and 4 respectively, had
narrow esoapes from death by light
ning during th" storm of last evening.
They were standing in a hallway in a
draft, close together, when there was
a flash of lightning and Instantly the
older boy, putting his hand to his
head and face, said: " Pop, I am
burned."
The lightning struck the boy at the
base of the lower lip, ran to the turn
of the chin and making a jump of an
inch struck him on the throat, divid
ing into two branches, from which
countless minor l'u diverged. Each
of the main steins were about an inch
long and appear to he been broken
up by the numerous radiations. The
flesh was suhorched, but not blistered
or burned, and the boy flt very little
pain and today is apparently none
the worse for hit experience. Dr.
Lyte was standing in front of the boy
at the time, looking into his face, and
aw the discoloration appear on his
face. Physicians and e'eetricans who
have been spoken to in regard to the
lightning's freak a. e uuablu to put
forward anv en'huatkn.

A speolal to the News and Obrerver
from Washington, N. C, says: Mr.
Walter Hooker, of Aurora, this coun
ty, who is a prominent charsh man
of that village, succeeded in commit
ting rape upon a Miss Midyette, the
13-year-old daughter of Mr. Benjamin
60o Midyette, yesterday afternoon, about
4Uc I from Aurora.
He was apprehended a-J carried to
Idalia for trial, but on account of the
ndition of Miss Mid-
ette, the trial has been postponed
The doctors state that her chance for
recovery is slim.
Hooker admits his crime, but gives
no reason for the same. He is super
intendent of the M. E. Sunday school,
and a man who was looked upon with
the highest respect by that section of
Beaufort county. Great excitement
prevails, and serious consequences are
feared. ;.;
