We find in the News and Obseiver of this morning the sad announcement of the sudden death of Mr. Will Humphrey, at Goldsboro. The Workman desires to express special regret as this announcement. Mr. Humphrey was a most pleasant, fair minded and upright gentleman, who never seemed to swerve a hair’s breadth from the honorable course. He was,- in our estimation, an excep tion among young men. “Mr. Will Humphrey, the well- known and popular clerk at the Hotel Gregory at Goldsboro, died very sud denly yesterday at that place. He had gone to the postoffice about i o’clock for the mail, and while there he was seized with a violent hemorrhage, and died within five minutes from the time he was taken ill. He was about 28 years of age, and was a few years ago clerk in the McAdoo House at Greens boro. He was well known to the traveling public, and was very popular with all who knew him. The news of his death will carry sorrow to many hearts.” In Baltimore. A North Carolina merchant just from the north says that the number of southern merchants buying in nI^» York city this season is not large, but that the attendance in Baltimore is prodigious. Begging Twice. In a brief article on the subject of the small income in journalism, the Charlotte Chronicle says : “How can a newspaper succeed when it begs people to subscribe for it on credit, and has to beg them to pay for it T] Alleged Train Wrecker. A special from Atlanta, Ga., to the Richmond Dispatch, announces that Elias Snyder, a white tramp who claims Cincinnati as his home, has been arrested and jailed at Watkins- ville, Ga., under suspicion of having caused the late wreck at Bostian’s bridge. The dispatch states that the people of the northern part of Oconee count)', Ga., had been annoyed by a stranger who seemed to live wild in the woods. A bailiff arrested the man, and told him of the Statesville wreck, and was then asked by the stranger if the con ductor was killed, and being told that he was, said he would like to read the story, read it without lifting his eyes from the page until he had finished it. The stranger gave his name as Elias Snyder from Cincinnati. He had been to Florida, got out of money at Macon, stole a ride to Atlanta, and was put on-the public works there in June last for vagrancy. After leaving Atlanta he went to North Carolina, but refuses to tell where he was while there. This has the appearance of a sensa tional story. One weak place in it is, where the conductor is put down as killed, when such was not the fact. Cutting His O-wn Throat. The Goldsboro Head Light, in a norice of the forthcoming new paper, “The Hawkeyc,” .vhi,' Cs to fu- launched at Burlington, says the town is hardly able to support one paper, and that the proprietor of the new venture “is cutting his own throat.’’ But if Mr. Terrell is really going to commit suicide it is not probable that any thing can hold him back, not even a Head Light. The Late Mr. Humphrey. The Goldsboro Headlighp in a brief notice of the death of Mr. Humphrey, gives his age at 38 instead of 28 as in other notices of him, and adds that he was a consistent member of the Pres byterian church. His life while he so journed in Greensboro was above re proach, and might ba imitated by all our young men to their adyantage.— The Workman has a very pleasant, but sad recollection of the deceased. How wisely he acted in making timely preparation for an event whose coming was so uncertain. The Statesville Landmark. Several persons have come into this office to procure copies of the States ville Landmark of September 3rd., containing the full and accurate ac count of the fearful railroad wyeck at Bostian’s Bridge near Statesville, but could not be accommodated because the supply was exhausted.
