A resolution came up reducing the
pay of various employees 20 per cent.
(This was in accordance with the
ag. eement made by the Democratic
caucus last week. The reduction is
bised on the pay in 1897.) tl does not
affect the pay of the clerks which were
cut to $4, or to laborers who get $2 a
day, or to the pages, who get $1 a day.
I.owery offered an amendment that this
should apply to members also. Hamp
ton demanded the yeas and nays on
this. The point was made by Justice
that the amendment was not germane.
as the Constitution fixes the pay of
members. He then offered an amend
ment that Lowery's amendment apply
to Forsyth county alone. This wis
adopted, amid much lauRhter, in which
the Speaker heartily joined. This put
Hampton in a hole. Petree then moved
to table the umendment. Carter of
Forsyth said he and his colleagues
were willing to h . ve their pay reduced.
Hampton's motion to table was lost.
Julian offered an amendment that the
resolution should not apply to laborers
who are getting $2.M a day. Justice
aid the resolution was entitled to ap
ply to certain assistant clerks who are
now getting $5 a day. Williams of Ire-
Jell said that the $2.50 a day men are
working only two to four hours w day.
He declared they ought nut to be paid
ovir $2 a day, as farmers get only
30 cents a day. Ray of iMacon said the
so the committee could look into it and
-ee that the p ry of the various classes
of laborers is equitable. Julian with
drew his amendment. Robinson of
Cumberland said the purpose of the
aliens' action was to reduce the pay
if clerks to that of the members. Wil
liam:- s :id he had discovered that near
ly all the laborers were setting $2.50
i day. Watson, Populist, said he fa
vored a general reduction of members'
pay h-$l as I'c.vtil ly L, every. The
esolution was by this time in i very
vmplote tangle. Overman first stig-j.st.-.l
a reference to the Committee
Mi Rules, but lai r so id that it was
icrhaps best to adopt it as amended by
L iwery and lot it so to the Si n
But finally all the amendments were
reconsidered. Craig made a motion to
table them, but found that it would
:v:ry the resolution with it, and with
drew it. Then Lmvery withdrew his
amendment. The original resolution
then cine up and was adopted, amid
reat laughter.
Bills pased repealing- the act of 1897,
creating cotton ami peanut weighers
for Edge?onibe county, and repealing
the act incorporating Reward, in Bun
combe and Madison counties. Bryan
f Madison s id that most of the town
was in Madison, and he wanted the bill
reconsidered. Bunch said the commit
tee on towns had found that Redmond
was only a bar-room and a foot-log.
Curtis said he introduced the bill, and
that the charter of Redmond w ss really
the charter of a bar-room. He said
the matter was an is?ue in polities in
Buncombe.
Bill passed to amend charter of Fay-
ettevllle. It ch enges the poll-tax from
$1.80 to $3 (this being done by the Com
mittee on Cities and Towns to pre
serve the constitutional equation);
gives power to charge a privilege tax;
makes the aldermen the sole judges of
the fitness of applicants for liquor li
cense and provides that not less than
$500 shall be charged for such license
(in the court tha. the sale of liquor In
Cumberland county shall be authorized
hereafter), and limits the powers of
the boatd of audit and finance.
Bills passed to alljw Bertie county
to levy a tax; to amend the law as to
caveats to wills'; to, allow Reidsville to
issue bonds; to allow persons in Lin
coln '.end Catawba counties to pay poll-
taxes by road work.
There was quite a discussion as to
the propriety of passing a bill giving to
Alamance and Swain counties' copies
of the early Supreme Court Reports.
The bill was re-referred. It was shown
that the cost of the e'arly Reports -was
hewy.
Messrs. Woollcott & Son are offering
special inducement for their Epeclal
sale next Thursday.
ELECTROCUTED.
James Coffin Killed
Shock
by a
WORKED FOR BELL CO.
Jim Coffin Was Drawing a Wire When It
Came In Contact With Wire of
the Raleigh Electric
Company,
James Coffin, a negro employee of
the Southern Bell Telephone Company,
was killed while at his work this morn
ing. The accident happened about ten
minutes to 11 o'clock this morning. In
spector Lewis and Lineman John
Sheald, assisted by Coffin, were trying
to arrange the wire, which hid been
deranged hy the sleet. The weather
war? unsuited for the work and it was
raining hard. Lineman Sheald was on
the pole on Edenton street, where
Blount intersects, and Coffin was
standing on the ground, on the east
sidewalk of Blount street, just north
f Xubern avenue. He had a .coil of
Wire on his arm, and had wrapped the
wne he was drawing around his hands.
The wire was being drawn over the
wire of the Raleigh Electric Company,
hen the wire either cut the insulator
or insulation wis Impossible on ac
count of the weather. The wire re
ceived the full charge and Coffin fell to
the ground with a scream. Mr. Sheald
descended from t lie pole on which he
was working and ran up town for as
sistance. Mr. Lewis went to the ne
gro, but he says that the wire was
wrapped around his hmd, and to pull
it loose would have meant death to
he one who attempted it. 'Mr. Lewis
says Coffin was dead in two minutes.
Mr. Sheald met Mr. John Morgan
near the capitol and Mr. Morgan lan
to the spot and with his hitched cut
the wire. He thinks Coffin was still
alive, for when the wire Was cut the
body moved, but this was probably
due to the relaxation of the muscles
when the current was cut off, which
had been running through the body for
at least ten minutes.
Dr. A. W. Goodwin reached the spot
shortly after, and tried to resuscitate
the man, but in v.in. The negro lay
on his back on the sidewalk, in mud at
least four inches deep. A carriage was
summoned and the limp body of James
Coffin was carried to his home on East
Cabarrus street.
Coffin was labout 25 years old. It is
understood that he has a wife, but no
children. He had been employed by
the Bell Company as a ground line
man about two months. Mr. Sheald,
with whom he was working, has re
cently moved to Raleigh from Dur
ham. The killing was one of those veci-
lents which are liable to happen at any
time in this profession. It is always
dangerous work and especially in sueii
wet weather, when perfect insulation
is impossible.
Notwithstanding the fa-t that sain
w s falling in torrents. Just after the
accident, ye I seols of people went to
. : -w the b ;d;. before its removal.

The conditions are now decidedly fa
vorable for clearing weather. A severe
storm is central over the east Lake re

there from Texas. Threatening weath
er with rain continues in the e st, with
largest- amounts at Memphis, Cincin
nati and Palestine.
The barometer is high in the west
with clear, colder weather which has
already extended as far e st as Meri

perature has fallen 24 degrees and 18
at Abile,, but Is much warmer in the
southeast. .
The special attention of the public is
called to the announcement of the

ODD FELLOWS' COLUMN.
We were glad to see so many Odd
Fellows in the Grand Lodge of Ma
sons. Grand Master IB. S. Royster is now
Deputy Grand Master of the Masonic
Grand Lodge.
Grand Master Dr. It. J. Noble, of the
Masonic Grand Lodge, is a Past Grand
of Olive Branch Lodge, No. :t7. I. O.
O. F.
A good pe.tit'ion for a new Lodge at
Shelby has been received and is now
under consideration.
Dr. L. B. McBrayer, our District Dep
uty for the Fifty-ninth district, writes
encouragingly of the prospects in his
district. Dr. M. is a hustler.
Bro. A. C 'fainter, the District Dep
uty for the Sixty-first district, says:
'We are getting along nicely; all we
lack is timber of the proper dimen
sions." This means that they have all
the men w no are w oith having al
ready.
We think that Hot Springs Lodge.
No. 179, deserves the credit of making
the largest donation, in proportion to
membership, to the Orphan Home at
Christmas. It was not voted out of its
treasury either.
Our Grand Treasurer has Just paid
iver to the Treasurer of the Orphan
Home another installment of one thou
sand dollars for the fiscal year.
Have the Lodges in Raleigh discuss
ed the proposed amendment to the
Constitution now pending, and to be
voted on at the next session of the
Grand Lodge? Do you know what
it is?
We notice something about "with
Irawing fellowship from a Grand Ju
risdiction" in the proceedings of anoth
er Ordei.This would never occur for a
similar cause with us. Only w hite men
can be members of our Order, and if
mr law upon this subject is not obeyed
by a Grand Lodge we simply call in
their charter and the chapter ends.
In these days of many societies, j
many notions and many remedies for
xisting evils, when the spirit of criti
ism and antagonism is rife among
men. that organized body of workers
the most active, the most faithful to
bligations taken and promises made.
and the most careful in the matter of
its finances, will become strong and
iurable, and as a consequence survive
the weak and inert, which will go to
the wall. O. F. Sittings.
Admissions to the Illinois Odd I- 1 -
lows' Orphans' Il.'ine are governed in
j.art as follows:
'The age limit lor admission is u
iirs, and children admitted may lie
retained umil 16 years of age, or in
the discretion of the Board.
'No vicious child or child of natu
rally wicked tendencies will be admit
ted. The Home is full of young and
innocent lives whoso future is too im
portant to be subjected to any cor
rupting million, c. Wheii.-v. r the Board
discovers that improper children have
.vn admitted, whether the same be
through mistake or imposition, sucn
children will be promptly returned !
lardians. Children having one living
narcnt will not be received, except in
case of extreme emergency, as where
the surviving parent is a confirmed in
valid or is insane, or is otherwise whol-
iy incapacitated from earning or pro
viding a living."
This branch of the Order has bad a
refining influence upon the Order at
larf.e. The taste and giaec with wnien
lie.- ladies put upon the lloor tne woik
in t lie beautiful form has been an in
spiration to the Subordinate branch of
our Order, and has led them to a much
ghcr degree of excellence in the Per
mian, e of their work.

MARK TWAINS STORY.
Mark Twain tvlls of an install, e
which happened on one of his lecture
tours. He delivered one of his most
comical -addresses to quite a large aud
ience in a country town, had excited
himself to the utmost, but had utterly
failed to start an audible smile, lie
had finally closed with the impression
that he must have made a failure. As
'he audience was h-.ving one of the
f. nl'err.enomes up to ntm and said:
"Mr. Twain, we enjoyed your address
veiy much. It was extremely inter
esting, hut do you know there were two
or three times during tne evening I
had just all I could do to Keep from
bursting out laughing. Some of your
remaiks were so ftinn." Now if you
will attend the performance of that
comedy drama. "Side Tracked," 1 'I the
Academy of Music on We.lnesdday.
January IS, you will find something
quite as funny as any of Mark Twain's
remarks, but don't try to keep from
laughing. You will never be able to
do it, and you need not. We don't ex
pect It of you, for "Side Tricked" is
built, for laughing purposes only, and
it's a great success. 'Don't forget the
date.
