T Ridiog up Broad street op a motor cycle yesterday at me o'clocl?, "'Mr, John H.' Deppe,' while going at a high rate of speed, " ran full tilt . into. Mr, George Ballard at the corner of Brod and Craven.-' One man went in one direction ' on the brick-paved ( street, the other in another and the machine in a third. . - It was a terrific collision and persons who witnessed it expected to find that both men were badly injured. But they were not. Mr. Ballard, who seemed to get the worst of it,-walked away from the scene of the accident with apparently no injuries though no doubt when he made an examina tion he found some pretty severe bruises. Mr. Deppe said, "Didn't hurt me,' patched up his machine, which was a brand new one and which he. was just trying out, and rode awky. Before departing 'he said that when thirty feet away from Mr. Baljard he saw that the latter was standing still near the middle df the street. He assumed that he would proceed and did not alter his own course. So it appeared that neither knew what the other was going to do and neither was afcle to dodge the other. Ex-Judge Henry R. Bryan crossed Broad street diagonally at about the same time the collision occurred and had a narrow escape from being a part of the crash. "The Judge has the right- idea of keeping out of the way of bicycles and motorcycles and other such perils,, said a man who observed the affair. Mt is simply to go right on your way just as though you didn't even see the man on the wheel. If you look at him and try to guess whether he is going to pass in front of you or' behind you, he will begin to guess what you are going to do and between the two of you, you will pull off a collision then and there. Just leave it to him. He will then know what he has got to depend on and can easily steer around you." - BANANA PEEL CAUSES FALL. People sometimes thoughtlessly throw banana and other fruit peel on thes idewalks, little thinking that their action may cause asome one serious in jury and also that it is a direct violation of the city ordiances. Yesterday Mary Manley, colored, while walking down Broad street slipped on a banana peel and fell heavily to- the sidewalk. For tunately for her she escaped sorious injury vut as every one knows a banana peel on the sidewalk has dange rous possibilities. FANS WANT BASEBALL. There is some talk of getting New Bern in -the Carolina Baseball Asso ciation next season. Raleigh and Rocky Mount also want to enter the Association. There are many enthu siastic fans in this city .and there is no doubt but that' they would'1- gjadly contribute to the support of a Jeam. The matter will be more fully discussed before the Association holds its first meeting, which will be held during the month of January. pects of that institution. Some mat ters, connected with the colportage work of the Association then came up after which a recess was taken until 7:30 p. m x Evening Session. - i t he evening- session , opened with devotional exerciess led by. Rev.- C.li H. Trueblood -of 1 Beaufort. The annual address by ' the moderator was N;hen delivered by Mr. M. Leslie- Davis, of BeaufortWho dealt : -with earnestness and enthusiasm .,on the' Baptist ' out look, as well as the) Baptist record for achievement. -The -report on- foreign missions was read by Rev. T. B. Davis who was followed by Rev. C. J.

He told of the work in the foreign field and succeed ed in quickening the enthusiasm of his hearers in the foreign mission work.;. At the conclusion of Mr. Thompson's address " Moderator , Davis and : his sister ..Miss Lucy. Davis, rendered a duet which was greatly enjoyed by the i Rev. G. T.

WANTS GOflTRACT fj . 4 Representative of . Raleigh Con a - cern Here Yesterday With -Proposition. OFFERS SOME INDUCEMENTS Campaign For Subscriptions Goes on Vigorously and Fund Is Gradually Climbing. Mr. S. C. Latham, of the Cofcper Mar ble. Works, of Raleigh, was in the city yesterflay for the purpose of securing a contract for the erection of the monument to - Baron DcGraffenried which will be erected in New Bern as soon as tne contributions now being made has reached a required amount, Mr. Latham had with him a number of designs and offered to erect a hand some memorial at what seemed to be a reasonable cost. A purchasing com mittee will be appointed to consider his proposition and will probably render its decision by Saturday. The company offers unusual inducements on account of the fact that this will be the first memorial erected by them in this section. Meanwhile the campaign for sub scriptions goes merrily onward. Ed gar Walnau, who is doing the collect ing, is making a house to house canvass ind is meeting with great success. The fund has grown to more than three hundred dollars and with a combined effort on the part of th citizens the full amount should be secured within a fe.w weeks.

Yesterday, he placed the skirt on this improyised wash, line and went about his business b brisk wind was .blowing at the time and in some unexplained way carried the Bkirt to the top of the line. It was found-hecessary to place several long poles together before the recreant garment could be recovered.. It is a safe bet that Job Hedges does not regard it as a juke. .

" ' RETURNS WITH HAIR WHITE Captain Battles With Seas Five Months in Motorboat. New York, Nov. 13. After a five month's battle with' wind and seas in a 55-foot oil-fed motorboat he was at tempting to bring from England to Trinidad, Capt'.. Edwin L. Smith, of London, is expected in New York this week on the return trip. His hair was brown when he, with his crew of six and one stoaway, which they' didn't know about at the time, steamed out of the Thames on May 23 .His first glimpse of himself when he arrived at Trinidad showed him that the trials of the journey, on what he termed a "shipless vocean," had turned his hair snowwhite. For days he, with the crew, faced sjar- 1 vation. The last 10 days they lived on biscuit and' half a cup of fresh water. They finally arrived in Trinidad on October 22. . The Corbett Woodhall was the name of his vessel. She was- built for the Trinidad Oil Fields Company. She is of 70 tons and 55 feet over all. When completed it was expected to tow her to Trinidad, but the item of cost was prohibitive. Then it'' was arranged to take-her across the ocen under her own power.; y '.The 'motorboat, despite the i hard 'usage to which it had been subjected, was in good shape when she was turned over to the oil company.. - ' .

UP TO ITS EYES IN WORK Getting Ready to Start Parcels Post Rushes Bureau. Washington, Nov. 13. Not since the outbreak of the Spanish-American war made necessary the issue of billions of special war tax stamps has the Bureau of Engravin gand Printing been so rushed. It is due to the assumption of the importan tfunction of the exprtss business of the country throught the parcels post. The bureau must print 12 different denominations of stamps and five denominations of special postage due" stamps. Less than half of the designs have as yet been approved. Not. a stamp has yet been printed. The bureau officials are unable to get definite action from Postmaster Gen eral Hitchcock's special parcesl ost commission. Under the law the parcels post must be in operation January 1 next. Be fore that date the bureau must print distinctive stamps in the denominations oftone, two, thr.ee, four, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, fifty and seventy five cents and one dollar. The designs of each willl be different. The four denominations will depict the various methods of transportation to be used by the parcels post. The second higher four will show the various employes of the postoffice service engaged in the discharge of their duties. The third and highest, denominations. show the four major industries contributing mer chandise to the parcels post. The bureau officials will urge upon the commission the selection of a single color for all denominations. It is generally believed that the regular stamps will be of deep wine color or a dark terra cotta, and that black will be selected for the "due "stamps. ' Parcels post stamps will be materially larger than the ordinary postage stamps. The "due" stamps -show only the text necessary to describe their function and a big numeral. . ' PEDDLING TURKEYS.

This team has had bad luck thisseason despite the fact that it has some of the best amateur players in this section of its on its lineup, and is working hard to recoup. '.' In the game played with Washington several days ago they lost on account of the fact that just prior to the game one or two of the players were disabled.

SEEKERS ARE ALREADY BUSY Letters and Telegrams Pouring in on Democratic Senators and Representatives, Washington, Nov. 13. A fon-riinncr f the office-hunting (kl.-ige yhiih is expected later as a consequence in the change of the political complexion of the administration is being experienced already bv Democratic Senators and members of the House. Applicants have not begun to arrive in person-but letters and telegrams are coming by the hundreds. "I was fearful that we might not find Democrats to fill the offices, but I am being rapidly disillusioned," said Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, as with asigh he laid down telegrams front two of his best friends making application for the same place. Up to date most of the applications are for Federal offices within the various States, but some intimations of a wish to serve the country abroad or in the executive departments in Washington have come to hand. Generally the writers confess a desire to get on file earlv in order to forestall others. Many early boomers for Mr. Wilson have been discovered while others in dicate undying and undivided loyalty to the Congreessmn to whom their letters are addressed. Many of the Democratic statesmen are making pro visions for an extended system of filing and generally they face the outlook cheerfully. There are between H.000 and 9,000 Presidential pdstoffices, to say nothing o(the executive, diplomatic and other Federal offices throughout the Federal service. Some intimation is given of a desire to revise the civil service law in order to give the rank and fde of the party freer access to the public employment, but the general disposition appears to be to do nothing in that line at least until the more important places are aken care of. Representative Johnson, of South Carolina, author of the bill introduced last session to fix a given tenure of office for civil service employes, is among those who would not have the existing law changed. CASE DISMISSED. Calvin Joyner, colored, was given a preliminary hearing yesterday before Commissioner Charles B. Hill on the charge of selling spirituous liquors without a government license. The evidence wis insufficient to hold him for court, so the case was dismissed. DUCKS PLENTIFUL. Local hnuters are having great sport just at riiis season in shooting ducks. The creeks near (he city are said to abound with this variety of game and many of them are being killed. The most plentiful however, are of the common variety, the large Mallard duok being very searce. LARGE HICKOR Y NUTS. Mr. H. B.
