Raleigh, Nov 18. The climate and
crop report of the weather bareau for
North Carolina for the month of October
was issued todsy. The feature of the
month was the drought, which was very
remarkable. A.t Lynville there was no
rainfall from September 6th to October
81st, a period of 07 days. The condi
tion was much as is sssoclated only with
the Arid regions of the west. The
weather was colder than the average,
with frequent frosts, some killing. The
weather was very favorable for harvest
ing, but the swere dronght Injured all
fall crops and almost entirely prevented
plowing for winter wheat whloh was
very backward. Cotton was practically
all picked by Ue end of October and
most of the corn was gathered. The
minor crops yielded fairly well. Fast
ares and clover were Injured by dronght
The monthly mean temperature was 67.7
degrees, which Is S degrees below nor
mal. The highest being at Hatteraf,
and the lowest at Lynville. The highest
absolute temperature vu 93 degrees oa
the 11th at Southern Fines and the low
est was 14 degrees at Lynville on the
24tb, the monthly range being 79 de
grees. The greatest daily range was 66
degrees on the 15th, at Mount Airy. The
average rainfall was 1 86, which was
S.28 inches below normal. The average
number cf clear days vu 22.

This law waa enacted In 1899. The Su

PUSHED UNDER TRAIN.
Frank Abbott Loses His Left Ann by
the Cruel Act of a Negro.
A dastardly trick vu done last eight
the result of which a young white boy,
lost his left arm and the question of his
recovery is a matter of doubt.
Last night Frank Abbott was poshed
under the Atlantic Coast Line passenger
train by a negro. He had his bicycle at
the time and was close to the tract near
the cemetery, The negro was on foot
and was supposed to be standing near
the entrance, when the train had reach
ed this point the negro got off the train,
and the boy was ii the act of getting on
his wheel the negro took hold of the
boy saying, "Gat out the way you white
- or I'll pu9h yon
nnder the train" and with that the boy
fell, going between the cars, the wheels
passed over Abbott's left arm severing
it at the shoulder.
He was picked np end carried Into
Prof W G Avant's house where every at
tention was given him until the railway
company's physician, Dr Duffy arrived.
After an examination of, the wound by
Drs. Francis Duffy and Duguld, the
boy was removed to the letter's office
where It was dressed. The arm was cut
off by the wheel almost as dean as If a
knife bad been used and there was but
few threads of skin hanging from the
shoulder joint.
At eight o'clock the doctors th jught
theobances for the boy's recovery were
favorable, ha was then nnder the in
fluence of chloroform and they hoped
that the reaction would result well.
Frank Abbott Is the son of Mrs Eliza
beth Abbott living at No. 87 Avenue A,
Dunn's Field. He is a bright, intelligent
boy of about 17 years of sge and Is em
ployed by the Blades Lumber Co., as
tallyer.
John Glllett.a colored boy, was arrest
ed by officers Lupton and Bryan at 8
o' clock last night and witnesses have

with Mr Lupton went along Queen
street nearly to Five Polnta where they
saw a orowd of negroes and found the
boy. He Is a well known character in
the police court and learning his name
they had no trouble In locating him.

ROMANCE WITH LOCAL FLAVOR
Union Doctor Weds The Southern
Woman Who Rejected Him
Years Ago.
The following Interesting story was
taken from the Baltimore American of
November 14th. It is one of few pretty
romances of the war which has the ad
vantage of being true.
New Tork, November 18 The an
nouncement of the marriage of Dr Uleve
lead Willis Goff of this city, to Mrs
Jane Lawion Ulmer, of Savannah Ga,
will come as a surpriss to the friends of
the elderly physician, who was believed
to be a hopeless bachelor. Few will
know that It also marks the "good-story
book" ending of a wartime romance,
beginning In Newborn N O, In 1863. Ii
does not lose lis Interest because Mrs
Goff, herself, whltehalred, told It last
night.
DrGoff, whose office Is at 11 East;
Sixteenth street, waa a young physician
In Rochester when the call to arms i
came in 1861. He enlisted in the Third
New Tork Cavalry, known as the Van
Allen Cavalry, serving &r't as quarter
muter, then rising to the rank of
captain, and later doing duty as a sur
geon.
Dr Goff waa with the tanny that occu
pied Newborn N 0, In 1862 There he
met Mtas Jane Luwson, daughter of a
local merchant, and unless to ray, at
very ardent sympathiser of theSouthern
csuse. The young surgeon fell In love
with her.
"I am sure that my treatment of Dr
Goff wu not the kindliest," said his
wife last night. ''In thoss days, of
course, we could see nothing good In
the Yankees. Bnt he was persist.

There was a young Confederate officer
In the case at tbst time, lie wu James
TJlmsr. and he wss also In love with
Mlsa Law son. That made Dr God's
shit impossible, end be wu told so
plainly. What he uld when he learned
this was not revealed lut night, but h
continued to urge his suit, even after
the war cloaed. That wu all ended
when e few yesrs after the war, Mlu
baweon became Mr Ulmer and moved
to Pavannab, where her husbsnd went
Into business.
Dr Goff returned to New York and
began the practice of meatclne. He had
many patlente, smased s comfortable
fortune, t,ravllod extensively and In
the opinion of his friends was a man
whoss heart had never been effected by
say women.
It is likely that the story would have
