lUIelgh, Dec 10. Among today's ar
rivals here wis ex Judge Agustus W.
Graham of Oxford, who Is much Inter
ested In (he copper mining Industry In
that part of the country For a time the
mines have been operated to a rather
small extent by reason of the decline In
copper, bnt now that It has advanced to
IScts a pound, he says the mines wll1
be put In operation again. Of the two
mines In Granville, one baa been Idle
and of Ibe three In Person only one is in
operation.

J B Powell, the man charged with
swindling by means of the mails, failed
to sbow up In the Federal Court here.
exactly as had been predicted.' Really
nobody seemed to think he wonld come
for trial. I le lud pat np $500 cut h bond
and had also given $500 bond with sure
ties instlfltd. All tbii bat been for
feited. The district attorney movel

and this morning deputy U S Marsha)
John Dockery was gent to Norfolk after
him. Powell la operating a cut-rate
drug etoie at Norfolk. He used to be In
buiineta at Smithfleld, Vs., Berkley,
8outh Noifolk and Newport News. It
la expected that he rill put np a fight
about being brought back here, In order
to carry his case over to another term of
court. This very point la covered by a
apeclal recommendation of the attornoy-
paner&l of the United 8tates for an
amendment of the revlsod statutes so
that a writ of the Federal court will run
anywheio in the United Hlatea. Of
course there will bsno trouble In ge'tlng
Powell back bere,save the delay. If he
puis up a fight.
The grand jury in the Federal court
has found a true bill against tbe man
King who is charged with the same kind
of a scheme aa that worked by Powell,
though to a smaller degree. Kiog and

buslntas here several yeirs.
Revenue officers have returned here
from a point 14 miles northeait of Ral

Interest Is vary great In the coaren
tloas or meetings of cotton growers to

that staple. Secretary T B Parker of
the association and of the Farmer Al
liance sty about M counties grow cot

every one. Tbe Commissioner cf Agri
culture was speakieg about this matter
today. It will be remembered that a few

CAUGHT IN RAILROAD WRECK
George Howard Uass Narrow Escape
From a Serious Jlnjury.
Mr George Howard,whom the Journal
of yesterdsy mentioned aa having been
slightly Injured In a" wreck on the AC
, near Petenburg, Va, returned home
yesterdsy. His Hp was bandaged as a
result of his unpleasant experience on
the wrecked train. However, he feels
that he Is very fortunate to escape with
his life.
Tbe extent of Mr Howard's Injuries
are a badly gashed upper lip. Tbe
shock of the collision made him sick
frft a while but he recovered shortly.
The accident occurred at 9.20 Thursday
night.
To the Journal reporter Mr Howard
aald that the train left New York city
entire at 9.25 Thursday morning and at
Washington it was made Into two sec
tions. The first one left and It went
through all right. After tbe first section
left Petersburg a work train left a place
called Stony Creek to get to tbe water
tank, the conductor believing that there
was a clear track ahead.
It Is understood that llio work traio,
after passing the 6nl section at Stony
Creek, came about two miles north to a
siding where its engine which was a
mall one, went back to a water tank.
Just after rounding a curve on the re
turn to the side track the men on tht
engine of the work train biw tbe head
light of tbe limited, which waa twenty
minutes late and tunning nearly a mile
a minute. Brakes wero instantly applied
and It Is stated Ibat within two minutes
the woik train engine could have been
reversed and run back towards Stony
Creek, but the Intervening distance wa
too thort and the locomotives collided
with fearful force, practically destro)
hi; the small engine of tbe work train.
and badly wrecking the passenger en
glno. The mall and baggage cars wer
thrown from the track, and mall clerk.
John G Wilson and John Ledbetter, tlu
latter of this city, were slightly Injured
No pasaengera were seriously hurt. Tic
track was badly blocked for several
hours. There ha been no olllclal slat,
ment but it ii alleged that signals were
dlaregarded.
Mr Howard elated that the passenger
were carried back to Petersburg when
they spent the remainder of the nlgb
and had their breakfast furnished them.
Tbe southbound train of Friday nlgb'
reached Goldsboro two hours late and
Mr Howard was not able to catch tb
mall.
