A Tough Tale from North Carolina

At O'Clock Monday morning Engineer
Jack Edwards and Conductor Maioney
Ieit Hickory with fifteen freight cats for
Salisbury, and entertained lees fear, per-
haps, as to the condition Of the road bed
than any other crew on the road, but
when about Eve miles East of Hickory
they realized the situation better. The
fill near Mr.. Lafayette Miller's had
washed out, leaving hole about ten
feet deep and eighteen feet wide through
the fill and nothing but the iron and
cross ties swung over the hole. A gen.
tleman, knowing that the freight train
would be along early in the morning,
very thoughtfully started up the road to
wave it down, but he had gone but q
short distance when he met the train
coming, but it being down grade it was
impossible to stop it In time; 90 in few
moments Mr.. Edwards on No. l5-a
forty.five ton engine-was in o few feet
of the break with no earthly power to
stop the train. AS o last resort he threw
the throttle wide open, which gave 1t
such sudden impetus forward that il
broke loose from the train and went
across the chasm almost with the velocity
of bullet. The box cars, one after an.
other, followed and tumbled In con.
fused mass In the ravine and on either
side of the track, making q complete
wreck of ten cars. Fortunately, the
train being long, the rear cara were
stopped before they were thrown from
the track. Captain Maloney, who was
In the caboose, had quito lively tussle
with sand barrel to see which would
stay on top, but we are glad to note was
not hurt, and Mr.. Edwards receives the
sincere congratulations of his many
friends over escapibg what might have
been an untimeiy end. Perhaps moth.
ing but the great speed with which he
rushed over the dangerous place saved
his life.-HicEory IN C) Press.

The Proposed Statue TO General Lee

RICHMOND. VA, May l.-For some
months past discussion has been renewed
over the erection of an equestrian statue
TO General Robert f. Lee in this city,
once capital of the Southern Confeders.
cy. The Lee Monument Association
was formed for this object in 1871, and
about $l5, 900 raised by small subscrip.
tions and balls, among which was the
great Lee ball at the White SULPHUR
Springs, West Virginia, when many
Northern ladies We'd with Southerners in
helping forward the cause. It turns out
that the managers invested the proceeds
In Virginia bonds, which Mahone's
actions have rendered worthless, and the
whole matter will have to be begun over
again. General ]. A. Early, in q card
this evening, proposes TO be one Of fifty
gentlemen to subscribe 81 900 each TOR
the purpose of erecting bronze eques-
trian statue Of Lee. He says: at has
been all object very dear to me to see
erected at the late capital of the Confed-
crate States suitable monument to our
great commander, and l desire to see
that monument erected in my lifetime"

however, is little bad, in that Greece

Italy is likely to do the same soon.
These prohibitions, If followed by Eng.

the meat growers of the West. 1t will
tend to cheaper meat by decreasing the
demand, and hence the South will profit
by this unreasonable fight against the
American hog, if it is persisted in.

A dispatch from California SAWS

"In reference to tho large opium duties
lately pnid here, it is stated that before
July /, the date when the Increased tax
goes into effect, fully $5.OO,UOO duties
will be paid on opium importations Mt
this port. A few large houses propose to
control tho trade and profit hy the add-
tional 81 tax
1t will be seen that the Republicans,
in arranging their tariff duties, have done
so in such manner rs to open tho door
for big .iobH on the part of the capitalists.
Instead, for instance, Of letting the new
duty on opium go into effect immediate.
Iy, or in thirty days, they postponed it
for four months, during which time the
large dealers will import in large quanti-
ties at the present low price, and hold
until after July !, when they will sell to
the people at the high price which will
follow the new rate of taxation. Under
this arrangement. the government will
get the smaller duty and the people pay
tho higher plice, while the importers will
complucently pocket the profits to be
derived from Republican legislation,
which always provides an easy means Of
jobbery.

has appropriated five hundred dollars

tribute to this purpose. About two hun
dred dollars to the County would secure
