The sun ris yesterday morning wtell, to tell the truth, it ris before ye reporter an he don't know xactly how it ris. Capt E. B. Roberds was on the O. D. wharf yesterday. Mr. Isaac Patterson was at his desk yesterday in Cap. Gray's office. Mr. Harry Stevenson took a Bhort stroll yesterday at about 1 o'clock p. m. The many friends of Mr. Teiopleton were glad to' see him on the cotton plat form yesterday. Mr. Hardy Lane was weighing of cotton yesterday. Cotton Bellers were rejoiced to see Mr. Frank Myer. Matt Manly, John Smith and Tom Constable at the "Ex change yesterday and Mr. Geo. F. M. Dail, also. Mr. Geo. Oliver and Mr. Green Bryan were both at the Exchange yesterday. We were glad toseo that Capt. Anson Wallace was able to "set up" yesterday. Mayor Howard was at the ship yard yesterday. Mr. Alex Meadows' null was a run- nin yesterday. Mr. Wm. Oliver visited the now school building yesterday. The church spire was standiug still, yesterday. Mr. Wm. Wallace was at Messrs. Diil Bros, store yesterday. Mr. Thomas Williams whb tit the corner yesterday. Mr. Jas. Redmond 's beer wagon was on the street yesterday and also Mr. Staub's milk cart, the sprinkler, and several drays.; Capt. Gates said he thought it would rain, yesterday. . Maj. D. T. Carraway was at the Ex change yesterday, and a talking when there was no cotton to sample. The steamboats were "in and out'' yesterday. Mrs. Maria Tilghman, colored, was "down to the Exchange" yesterday. Mr. Ken Styron was at the Neuse and Trent river S. B. Co.'s wharf yesterday while David Willis was on Clyde's. There came near being a steamboat collision yesterday. The steamer Snow Hill while passing through Ransom's channel came. near colliding with the steamer Florence. Fortunately how ever the steamers happenod to be going in the same direction and the Florence having passed through some five hours before the Snow Hill reached there, a calamity, which might have sent a thrill of distress through many hearts, was happily averted. The Carolina would have taken the place of the Snow iiiu u sne naa neen lnjurea ana it is thought that the Blanche or Cutler would have taken the Florence's place until she cculd have been repaired sufficiently to do it herself, had ghe been the suffering party in the fearful collision; The gallant captains, pilots and engineers are entitled to the highest mede of praise for their self-possession and coolness displayed on the occasion. The community generally should ' feel thankful that there was no explosion of boilers as the channel runs close by the Athletic Club building and a shock of that kind might have delayed the pro gress of the building, new so rapidly approaching completion, which is hoped will be iu sufficient readiness to cele brate the centennial anniversity of Gen. Geo. Washington's visit to Newbern in 1793 or the centennial birthday of R. E. Lee in 1908 at the furthest. ' The National Bank opened at ten and shut at three yesterday. Ye reporter is indebted to a colored woman for a pint- of very fine pea nuti.

" " Something Going to Happen. ; - '' j v "Something unusual is going to hap' pon," said a man yesterday who is somewhat of a prophet. - "I don't know whether it's the victory in the air that Zeb Vance 6poke of or not, but when you-see two old men, both good mem bers of the Baptist Church, get so frolick some aa to run together for a rough and tumble wrestle, its a sign of something unusual.", - .v, '..

Attempted Suicide A Desperate Fight for Death. i esteraay about noon a young man named "Toby" Hanff, who had been working at the machinist's trade. made a desperate attempt to commit suicide at his boarding house on North Person street. He had been drinking in the morning, and had asked his mother to take him back with her to Goldsboro. She refused, whereupon he became very angry, ana grasping a bot tie containing a mixture of quicksilver and muriatic acid, which he had pre pared for cleaning silver, he flung the contents into his mouth. With a shriek his mother caught his teeth with her hands and forced some of the fluid out upon the floor, which it burnt as it fell. He bit one of her fingers to the bone. but she held on till she had got all out that was possible. A doctor was hur riedly sent for, but before he arrived Hana became violent and flung himself around the room in a tearful manner. Mr. Richards, one of the boarders, came in at that moment,' but was unable to hold him and was flung to the side of the house three times. When the doctor artivedthe two managed with the aid of a strap to match his violence, and some oil and emetics- were forced into his mouth, but so desperate was his purpose to end his life that he caught the spoon in his teeth and held it so firmly that the two gentlemen had a hard task to get it out. The doctors ar rived, and after a hard struggle got Hanff into a bettor condition, but he was considered still in danger last night, He said he felt as if he were burning up inside. His lips and mouth were badly burned and disfigured. He will be taken to New Berne to-day if he is sufficiently recovered. He is about twenty-one years old, and came to this citv to learn the machinist trade but has paid more attention, to. other matters tnan ne nas to tnat, 4wsctfa uoserver, IlaTorlj's Comedy Company Tickets. , Reserve seat tickets on sale . at o'clock Wednesday morning.
