Greensboro Patriot: As the north
bound freight train from Charlotte, on
the North Carolina Railroad, was APP
preaching the city this morning, Just
beyond the Salem junction the engineer
IN charge, Mr.. S. T.. Organ, saw a
white woman u upon the track just
in front Of his engine. At the time the
train was moving at the rate of about
twenty miles per hour. Mr.. Organ at
once sounded the alarm whistle and re-
versed his engine, but the distance be
tween the poor woman and the engine
was too short. Mr.. Organ says she
took no notice whatever OF the whistle,
but began to walk at a more rapid pace
right in the center of the track. She
was picked up by the pilot and thrown
back on top Of it. The fireman at once
went out and took hold of the woman
and held her until the train could be
stopped. MIR. Organ finding her in
iuries of a seriou. nature had her placed
IN n ear and brought her TO the city.
On her arrival here it was found that
the woman was deaf and dumb. She
vas recognized by friends as Louisa
y alker, of Guiiford county aged about
Is years. 1t was found that her skull
va. slightly fractured, and portions of
her body badly bruised. 1t is feared
that she cannot survive. Miss Walker
was educated at the Deaf aud Dumb
Institute in Raleigh years ago. Her
brother and sister, both deaf and dumb.
Were killed some years sage on the North
Carolina Railroad, between High Point
and jamestown.

Curious Facts About Flowers.

In the Arctic region there are seven
hundred aud sixty-twD kinds Of flowers.
fifty Of these are confined exclusively 10
the Arctic region. They are really po-
lar flowers. The colour Of these polar
lower. are not as bright or varied a
our u are. most Of them being White
Or yellow, a. if borrowing thsse hardy
hues from their snowy berfs aud golden
stars.
Perhaps the most beautiful Of Al OUT
e~verIastings that longest defy the au'
tumr trosts and mort brighten u Wiz
Ter bouquets are the white and yellow
varieties.
The rose Of Florida, the most beautl.
full Vi flowers, has no perfume. The
cypress Of Greece. the finest Of tees.
bears no fruit. The bird Of Paradise,
the most beautiful Of birds, gives 10
song and some of the lovellest OF hui
man forms have the least soul.
! The Dolosid.c family Of flowers, Rus
Kin tells Us, including the FIVE great
orders, Lilies, Asphode.s, Amaryhds,
! lrids. and Ru-hes, have more varied
and hea-thful an influence on man than
any other tribe Of flowers.
Nature seems to have made tiowe. 5
a. types Of character and emblems OF
women 80 we name our children after
. them, and almost intuitively compare a
lovely. beautiful child to 4 flower We
. say the timid SuOwdrop, the modest
Violet. the languid Primrose. the coy
/ LILY, the Haunting Narigold, the lowly
bluahing Daisy, the proud f~oxglove,
the deadly Nightshade. the sleepy
Poppy, and the sweet. solitary EgIan-
tine these are all types.
Flowers have then historical assocla
tions and individuality. The yerbcna.
orr great fayourite, twenty-three cen
turtles ago covered the affairs OF the
gods. Virgil tells Us the shepherds
used it with frankincense IN a spell de
signed to win the love Of Daphne.
The Turks cultivate whole fields Of
roses, from which they make the IA

thing touched with a drop Of il seems
never TO lose Its smell.
In some plants the flowers sleep dur
ing the night and the leaves during the
day. Leaves viii always face the sky
and the earth flowers will affect al
kinds of positions.
Some plants have very great lifting
power. \ gentleman tells Us, who
owned q cask Of sweet wine, that he
placed it in an empty cellar, in ORDER to
allow it to mature, and when he went
tor it years after, it had risen from the
floor Of the cellar to the ceiling, having
been borne upward, as it We're, on the
shoulders Of the fungi, with which
plants the apartment was now filed
Mushrooms have been known to raise a

EIcKsBURG, Nov. 3O.-W. I. Bean.
a lawyer from Greenwood. Miss. and
a relative Of Judge Trimble, of Leforo
county, to-day committed suicide in a
bagnio by taking a large dose o. NOR
phIne. He arrived in the city yester-
day on his way to Jackson, but last
night began drinking heavily. and in
passing q dru- store with a companion
stopped and said: Il want 10 get a
bottle Of morphine. His companion
waited for him, but. becoming tired.
lett him and saw him no more. To
cay at 3 o'clock an inmate of a house
of iil-fame came running 20 the drug
store and hastily summoned a physi-
clan. who followed her flying steps 10
her house. Another messenger WIS
dispatched for additional medical aid.
but it was too late. Bean had been TOO
long without attention. Up 10 the
time of the inquest the theory OF acct
dental death was accepted, - rumOr
had it that he had mistaken the drug
for quiniue, but in the testimony before
the jury a letter that deceased had just
written was opened and it contained
these words:
Judge Trimble, [ have taken an
overdose of morphine 10y accident, ana
before this reaches you | will oe a dead
man." Nv. 7. BEAN"
As he wrote this before he took the
fatal dose, the theory of accident was
abandoned. The pTemediated, md the
Jury returned a verdict in accordance.
The circumstances are that Bean wrote
tine letter and gave it to one OF the
girls with particular instructions to
mail, saying lit must 90 to night
He then arose from the bed and went
to 4 washstand to get a drink of water,
and while there took the dosei in a man
ner that excited no suspicion. rs he
was drinking the woman supposed he
took the medicineto sober him. Hi.
lethargy soon aroused suspicion an
the alarm was given. Coffee was pour
ed down him but il was TOO late. Or
being told that the doctor had beer
sent for he murmured: 1t is no use
| am dying" He was laid out in the
paslor Of the bagni0. thence removed
20 a hotel and his relatives telegraphed
Ito. No cause can he assigned for The
rash act save that Bean was GRAZ,
