Big Potatoes.

Capt. Matt Atkinson called US into
his Office yesterday afternoon to
look at a lot of Irish potatoes he had
just bought at the store of Mr.. Doke
Hall. They were raised in Bun
combe. For the quantity they were
the best we ever saw, none being
less than a pound in weight and
some reaching two pounds.
Capt. A. kindly donated them to
the use of the colored Fair to be
held in Raleigh.

D,phtheria Caught from Rabbits.

Two children Of NJ J. Rogers, of Toronto,
were during the last winter stricken with
malignant diphtheria One succumbed to
the dread disease, and the other, after the
most skillful and careful treatment, recov-
cred Mr.. Rogers had at the time on his
premises large number of English rabbits.
When the disease broke out in the household
they one by one by got sick and died The
owner never dreamed Of the animals being
affected by the same disease from which his
children were suffering, and he was in SO
much trouble that he did not devote time to
investigate the cause Of their death. But
when some Of the last rabbits died Mr.
Rogers made an examination, and on open
ing their mouths found their throats sore, the
tongue thickly furred and the roofs covered
with the same membrane as that in the
mouths Of the children who had suffered
with diphtheria. He mentioned the fact to
DR.. Tyrill, who was attending the children
at the time, and the physician, on looking
into the case and examining the rabbits, af-

one Of the Austrian commissioners at the
Philadelphia exhibition, recently submitted
70 one Of the most curious surgical opera
tons on record In consequence of blood
poisoning from dissection, he had been for
years sufferer from excruciating neuralgia
pains accompanied by swellings. The emi-
nent surgeon, Professor Billroth, had failed
to give permanent relief by repeated opera
tions, and finally gave up the case. Recently
Billroths assistant, DR.. Gersuny, called his
attention to similar case on record in which
. cure had been achieved by resection of
the diseased nerve and the substitution of
the corresponding nerve Of rabbit. Pro
fessor Billroth urged Dr. Fleischl to assent

A Charleston Woman Arrested for Try.
Ing to Burn the Town.
CHARLESTON, S. c., June 2s.-Anderson, a
town in the upper part Of the State, has
been much exercised over repeated efforts
to burn the town for several months past.
Detectives were employed to investigate,
and yesterday they caused the arrest of Mrs.
M. e Reese, who has been one of the mast
respected ladies of the place. accusing her
of the crime. Mrs. Reese is connected with
several of the most prominent families in
the State. Her arrest has produced a sensa-
tion. The detectives say she is the author OF
all the attempts to burn the town. They
claim that is due to mania to see flames
and not to any criminal intent. The sem
sation of the morning was heightened last
evening by the arrest of Gustave Frank, of
the Pinkerton force, charged with an at
tempt to suborn witnesses in the case
Frank is the detective who worked up the
recent insurance fraud cases in Charleston.
A most sensational case is now entered for
trial, as the friends and relatives of Mrs.
Keese will spare no money to secure her
acquittal. They already have Pinkerton

FISDLAY, June 2s.-Last week the North
Chicago Rolling Mill Company sued the
New York, Mahoning & Western Railroad
in the United Court to recover $6S. coo worth
of of iron, which had been delivered, but
not paid for according to contract and the
court gave the rolling mill company pos
session again of the rails, which were loaded
upon fiat cars preparatory TO being hauled
back to Chicago but the Mahoning people
locked the switch on the cars and blocked
on engine at each end of the train, defying
the attempts to haul the rails away As
the rolling mill people could not carry the
rails away on wheelbarrows, and could not
throw the obstructing engines into the
ditch, they made an appeal to the law.
Yesterday, Judso Jackson, in the United
States Court, ordered United States Marshal
Wade to go down to the scene of the trouble,
borrow q locomotive, hitch it to the dead
engines, draw them out of the way, take
out the cars loaded with steel rails, and re-
store them to their rightful owners. What
the next move of the railroad company
will be cannot be determined. but rocky
times for the great trunk lines seem to be
inst ahead
