Mistaken Identity.

A remarkable case of mistaken
identity has cometo light in Raleigh
North Carolina, and will form a
topic Of conversation for people in
England and Ireland as well as in
this country.
Thirteen years ago, in Raleigh,
Scott Partin murdered his wife and
child and succeeded in evading ar
rest. Recently man bearing strik-
ing resembla nce to Partin made his
appearance in Raleigh, and was
promptly arrested for the crime.
The authorities did not doubt for a
moment that they had the right
man, for not only was he very
much like Partin in appearance,
but he had body marks similar to
which Partin had, and as in the
case Of the latter, one of his fingers
had been cut Off
Matters looked very gloomy for
the prisoner. He wrote to his sister
in England, telling of his arrest,
and evidence is said to have been
gathered which will show conclu-
sively that he is Robert Porter OF
South Ireland who came to this
country in 1878. A part Of the evil
dence to be offered consists of let
ter written by Porter to relative
in Irealud and dated from town
several hundred miles from Raleigh,
on the day the murder was commit
ted. English authorities have in.
vestigated the matter very thor
oughly, and the documents, which
have been posted to America will
probably cause Porter's release
Cases Of mistaken identity are
quite numerous, but it is not often
that a man comes as near being
hanged for the henius crime OI
murder as Porter.

Wagon and Nearly KILLED.

AN Old Couple Thrown From Their
Wagon and Nearly Killed.
A serious accident happened to
Mr.. and Mrs. III. j. White near Tur-
ner yesterday afternoon. The aged
couple were In q wagon OH their
way to the lecture and when within
a half mile of town they met q
drunken man who was driving reck-
lessly at which it is supposed the
team took fright and threw the oc-
cupants to the ground, bruising the
old lady about the face, rendering
her insensible, in which state she
still remains.
The old gentleman was also bruised
about the face, his nose being nearly
torn off. The result of the accident
is yet seriously in doubt, as the in
jured ones are both i'm their seven
| ties.
The accident occurring as 1t did
Just on the eve of the lecture on Sec
ularism caused il to be adjourned
till Tuesday night next. This Is
the fourth accident that has happen
ed within the week, making quite q
chapter of happenings.
The death of Mr.. Benson has al
ready been reported in these col
umns. VIM. Whites boy was run
over by a bicycle and crippled, which
caused him to he confined to his bed.
| Mrs. Jennie Addleman was out rid
ing when she met two men on bicy-
cles. which scared her horse which
jumped, throwing her from her
buggy but not seriously injuring her.
LATER.-The cause Of Mr.. Whites
accident as has since been ascer-
tained was not drunken man but
the breaking of one of his buggy
shafts, throwing him and his wife
on the fence, and the old gentleman
Is much worse hurt than was at first
supposed. He has a long scalp
wound, cutting clear to the bone,
one eye is nearly torn out, and his
nose and face are horribly mangled.
He IL as comforts" lie as can be ex-
pectcd under the circumstances, and
is expected to recover. Mrs. White
is still insensible, and can scarcely
live. The latter is quite fieshy and
has been somewhat feeble. They
lived on their farm, two miles north
west of this place. Hearing Mr..
Whites cries for help, people were
soon on the spot, and every assist
ance possible was rendered. Drs,
Smith and Ransom were soon on
hand, and the injured ones brought
into town, where they now are.

Saved BY O Dream.

A man by the name of Joe Will
liams had told dream to his fellow
soldiers, some Of whom related it
months previous to the occurrence,
He dreamed that he crossed river,
marched over mountain and
camped near a church located in a
wood, near which terrible battle
ensued, and in charge just as he
crossed a ravine he was shot in the
heart. On the ever-memorable 7th
of December, 1851 (battle of Prairie
Grove, Northern Arkansas), as we
moved at double qnick to take our
places in the line of battle, then
already hotly engaged we passed a
church then u small, frame building.
1 was riding In the flank of the
command, opposite to Williams,
aad we came in front of the house.
''That is the church 1 saw in my
Dream" said he. made no reply,
and never thought Of it until even
ing.
We had broken the enemies lines
and were in full pursuit, when We
came to a dry ravine in the wood,
and Williams said: ',just on the
other side Of this ravine was shot
in my dream, and I'll stick my hat
under my shirt" Suiting the action
to the word, he doubled up his hat
As he ran along and crammed it in
his bosom. Scarcely had he ad-
justed it when a minnie ball knocked
him out Of line. Jumping up quick
ly, he pulled out his hat, waved it
over his head, shouting: "I'm all
right" The ball raised black spot
about the size Of a mans hand just
over the heart and dropped into his
boot,

Ano,ber Railroad scheme.

The following Is from the Albany
Democrat. Color il given to the
statement when IL Is considered
that Receiver Scott of the Narrow
Gauge, while in Salem Wednesday,
said that "maybe" the Southern
Pacific had purchased his road;
Thursday Manager Hoag, Mr.. Nash
and Others of the Oregon Paciiic
went to Bloodgett Station and from
there took private conveyances ior
Airlie. They are investigating the
route with II view to buying the
Marrow Gauge lines and continuing
the road frcm Airlie to Bloodget'
Station, thus getting lines that
would eventually take them into
Portland on both sides of the river.
That the company have had their
ewes on the Narrow Gauge lines has
been known for some time. In view
OF the fact that II is reported that
the Southern Pacific has purchased
the Narrow Gauge this sounds pc
culiar. 1t Is now asserted that the
purchase has not been consummated
and that the o. =. will prabably gel
the n. q. tracks.

A man was arraigned in an Arkan-
sas court, many years ago, for stealing
a young pig out Of his neighbor's pen,
said pig, or shoat, being alleged to be
worth dollar and a half
The evidence was conclusive, and
the jury, after brief retirement,
brought in their verdict-"Guilty of
hog stealing in the first degree"
The Judge remarked that the find
ing was proper enough, except that it
failed to assess the value Of the pig,
and further that there were not de-
gree in hog stealing. He must ask
the jury to retire again, and bring in
verdict in due form.
The jury went out, with pen, ink
and paper, but were badly nonplussed
over that word form" Finally one
of them, who had formerly been a
justice Of the peace, drew up docu-
ment to which the other eleven assent
ed, and with which all hands return
ed to the court room. This was the
verdict:
1--WE, the ieury, pusilanimously find
the defendant gilty in the sum of 1
dollar and J in favor of the hog
