Sol dier, Drank Laudanum LAY DOWN ON TRACK OF SEABOARD AIR LINE Found there at Might by Railroad Em ployes The Man'a Story not Be lieved by Phyilciant in Attendance. Lust night about nine o'clock the railroad employes at the block, near the ice factory at the west end of Hargett street, found the body of a man stretched across the track, his neck lying on the rail. The man ap peared to be sleeping, but was aroused and removed from the trnck. Ho said that he was Riley Thomas and that he lived with his wife in a little house beyond Pullen Park. Telephone communication was at once, established between the nearest telephone and the police station, and i the Mayor and City Physician. Dr. J. W. McGec, Jr., went at once to the scene, where, an officer hud arrived and had the man in charge. Thomas said to the 'City Physician that he. hud .tiiken a -bottle and a half of laudanum and some chloroform and that he did so in un attempt to com mit suicide. He told the officers who took him home that he had previously tried to end his existence and that he would be successful yet if he had to resort to cutting his throat. The man was taken to his home, where his wife received him and he was put to rest. It was only a few minutes after nine o'clock -when the City Physician and the Mayor arrived at the. railroad and found Thomas nnd at that time, he was apparently in good frame of mind, and not. drowsy or si lipid us would have naturally been the case if he had taken the amount of laudanum claimed. From his story there was tio way to 'obtain direct. pioof that he had obtained such an amount of iaudunum from any one or that he had taken any chloroform. Kipley Thomas, who claims to have thus attempted to send his own soul into eternity; is an ex-member-'of the. First "North Carolina Volunteer In fantry in the Sjianisb-Americnn war. lie is a. young in onattua blttnewy He is a young man about twentv-five years of age and has a wife anil child living near this city. He is a familiar character in police circles and has been up before the Mayor for lnreeny. Itcccntly he was sentenced from Su perior Court- for u four months' term in the Work House, but. it is said, wus released before his time was up on account of his wife and child who hud no means of support. It is said that lie has no occupation and that he has crformed no work recently -to assist in the support of his family. This is not the first time that he has attempted to leave the impression that he has attempted suicide. From his own story to the .Mayor and others it is learned that on two occasions here in the past, he caused excitement toy saying that he hud taken some great quantity of laudanum. Once in lletts' store on Hargett Street he claimed to be in a precarious condition and said that it. was the result of u super abundance, of laudanum which he hud taken. The police, were notified at that time and it was found that he was by no means in the condition al leged. Once in Durham lie tried the same trick, but it. all worked out well enough for him to recover without as sistance. This is the fourth renort tliat he bus hud sent in and it: has become so that, city officials have to watch the man. though he. is not supposed by them to have taken any of the deadly drugs that he so often reports. There is danger that some day the cry of wolf may be given once too often for his personal comfort. BERMUDA LILIES. Col. Olds writes his paper: "At the Experiment Station here Prof. Massey is now raising 50,008 Dcrmuda lilies. These will soon be Iti - jlooui.. They are rowii for the. bulbs and the latter will be sold to Henderson and Compinv. florists, of Philadelphia. That firm suit the sets t.cre for planting. There were three wron loads of the sets. In Dermuda a disease has nearly r.'incil the lily trade. This disease got in a lot of tht lilies grown here la'-t year. This yi j- it has not appeared. Prof. Mas sey is also growing 10.000 narcissus plants and 5,000 hyacinths, all for Henderson and Company. The latter ore deeply interested in the matter and want to have roses grown here also." WOOLLCOTT'S STORE. f Mr. Walter Woolleott states that he has decided to discontinue side lines in his store on East Martin street, be tween Fa yettevi lie nnd Wilmington, and will handle only dry goods, shoes and milinery. The grocery de partment will be discontinued now and the crockery, hardware and ar ticles of that character will be sold out between now nnd January first of next-year. After January first his store will be strictly a dry goods, shoe and millinery establishment. Messrs. William Riiss, Annistead .Tones and Thomas M'Ashe returned today from a fishing trip. They claim to have brought back only a hundredth part, of their catch. Fish stories are in order. WHAT THE DICKEY BIRDS b.AY TbeJChipers on the Cbat with Scanty Basis for Lively Gossip. The Dickey Dirds were iu conclave this morning- with an idea that some one was going to suy so met lung, but that something was evidently ; sup pressed. Each appearesd to fear be ing the starter of anything snappy, and there was silence about what might have raised "merry cain" had it been mentioned. They did not talk about Spring, but here are some of the chattings: That payment of auditorium sub scriptions is apt to lag until some thing is known of what may become, of the money. . That there is a prevalent; opinion to the effect that at least one iiiuuteuro theatrical performance has n t been presented often enough. That the dainty lily of the valley has suddenly become the favorite flower of u certain, would-be ( port of the city, and is likely to remain so for a long time. That a certain daily al'K'i noon as semblage in Capitol Square has near ly succeeded in breaking up the even ing dress parades, which bade fair to become o fixture in the early spring. That there seems to be. some con fusion on the urt of some people as to the time when other people go out for a promanade. That "house-party" is a term which stands considerable thow of being ap plied to certain individuals who don't euro how much nor how lonsf they habitat about other people's homes.' That the fellow who gets there first and stays' ns. long as the fellow who drops in late is as well! so:uc people know what. That some people wW think noise making constitutes entertainment ought to be gagged to;- lw.) hour.; in a room with a rehearsing brass band: yet some noises n-; better than fie talking of some people. That the wearing of "American Beauties" and appearing as "Southern Realities" are becoming "Nip and Tuck" fads among the 'attractive belles of a certain town. That a. certain gallant, who gener ously, asked a married friend to ac company him in a, call on a visiting, reigning belle, and then got supplant ed for the evening has been looking for a.revoivincr machine with boots on it ever since. That the baseball fad is becoming a fever and there are approaching op portunities for athletic beaux to win flaming fame. That some youngsters who have thought to "rush" three or four young iiiuies at tne same time have found the undertaking to be about as com plicated and disastrous as a college cane rush. That some ubiquitous beaux who huve sagely sought to analyze the "eccentricities" of an erst while visitor totally fail iu ' comprehending the fact that the aforesaid visitor rlid not see in them .anything worth analyz ing. ... . That there is an atom of evidence to the -effect that some people who have well lighted veranda will con tinue to announce thp presence of call ers by posting them in full view of the passing throng. That the office-seeking of the "Huckeye" Slate has been totally eclipsed in this town by its fame for a delightful attraction around which many statcllites are revolving with unreserved admiration...' That some women 'will take great pains and care to go "down town" for the purpose of seeing some one, and then when in sichf will studiously avoid looking that way. That the felicitous success of some recent matrimonial ventures appear to have a tendency to soften some erst while invulnerable feminine hearts. That a certain young gallant who was recently indisposed for a day re ceived such delicate, attention from certain sources that he is now- dis posed to go after the doctor who cur ed him with n club. v- That the rankest, rottenest thing on the earth-is the fellow who thinks he is playing smart by interfering with the incidental plans of some other fellow. Thai indifference, either uctuul or felerned. is, occasionally the parent of a loss-creating independence for all parties concerned. That among ncople whose ways are inscrutable and past finding out is the individual who thinks he, must tell ; everybody- the latest thing said toy his "kid" that mav be anywhere from two to ten years old. That both the black hat and the "Black cat" appear to be establishing an ample lodgment in this town. That the failure of various profess edly moral organizations to rebuke existent fraud und contemplated ras cality is causing people who think to wonder what excuse such organiza- : tions can have for existing. That there is a lack of visible acti vity on the part ofKnleighites in the matter of a. summer Street Fair, -which has become the fashionable city fad. That some would-be beaux.f who. freely "blow- in" their substance in an effort or hope to give, others; Rome pleasure are no more popular than those who onlv blow off their "gas", and the moral is plain. That, when the wind senui to be. doing its very best dust-raising work, the street sprinklers seem to strenu ously adopt a do-nothing policy. That the popular drink-times In Raleigh seem to be settl:ur around the hours of eleven a. m.. four p, m., six-thirty p. m., seven-thirty p. m., and from eleven p. m. to twelve mid- ' nieht. See the streets and soda, foun tains at these hours. ; That the friends of a certain young plunger of the town are beginning to think -that one. of ; hhi pressing needs is a driver. . ' That all uecetisary advantages exist, and only the cultivation of -the right sentiment is neeessary- in order to make Kaieigh a. "city Beautiful." (Continued on 3rd page.)
