PRICE THREE CENTS.

first there were few identifcationS Yesterday,
however, great many more were recognized and
taken away than on any previous day Ths
reason for this is, in part, that no small part OF
tho drowned people taken from the river VERA
swept away at the villages further up the river,
and those looking for lost friends have made q
careful search along the banks of the river 70 this
point The number OF bodies taken TO the
morgnes each day is ny no means on the decrease,
ana this would seem TO show that several thou
sand people had perished. Many Of the corpses
are frlghtfully mutilated, but as a rule this is
not the case: Each one that is now brought in Is
emDalmed, that IL may be kept long as possible.
BESIDES the public hospitals nearly every house
within easy reach OF the river has been made Q
receiving place fo= those who have been injured.
The doctors in the hospitals have had much %
contend against The only assistance that they
nave received has been from those who have
trlends OF relatives under treatment. No trained
nurses had been sent TO them this afternoon.
several 0utof-town doctors promptly came TO their
assistance, when called upon, but there is stll
great need Of more assistance. Few of those who
lived long enough TO be carried to the hospitals
have ded since they reached there. They suffer
great deal, however, from cOntusions bad bruises
and broken limbs. This afternoon it became
necessary to send number Of patients to Pits
burg.

who had been cnught in the burning trap could
be heard on all sides. Some of them were
rescued by willing hands, but few OF them lived
long after being dragged from the masses OF
blackcned timbers and gray ashes. Yesterday
forenoon there were few people still alive IN the

A New Bank for Winston.

Last night a number of our citi-
zens who are organizing Il new nat
iOnal bank held a meeting for the
purpose of deciding the amount of
capital stock and settling other de-
tails, with the following results.
The capital stock is to be $780,
900. OF this amount $4,000 has
already been subscribed and enough
more has been spoken for to run the
amount up to over 800, 900. The
banking house is to be the store
house now occupied by Messrs. Clark
4 Foard, corner of 4th and Liberty
streets. Mr.. Clark, Of this firm, is to
be the vice-president and an active
working officer in the bank. The
teller is to be Mr.. Thos Wilson, now
employed as book-keeper for Messrs.
Brown & Bro. The cashier will prob
ably be Mr. Frank Patterson,
brother-in-law to our tOwnsm;ln, j
Lindsay Patterson, Esq. This gen
tleman is from Philadelphia and has
been for several years in the office of
the Comptroller of the Currency at
Washington city. He is highly en-
dorsed by the Comptroller and by
such men as Geo. w. Childs and
Saml J. Randall, of Pennsylvania.
The president is yet to be chosen.
The idea of the gentlemen organic
| ing this bank is to make it u people,

as possible, and nearly all the stock
will be taken by Winston-Salem peo-
pie.
The following are the names of a
| few of those who have subscribed to

THE NEWS IN MADISON.
T From The Madisoa Lea Ter ]

...J c. Murchison has been promot-
ed to the position of master of trains
of the C. F. 4 Y. V. road, with office
at Greensboro.
I'VE are expecting the Roanoke
and Southern trains in February,
and hope to see the Atlantic and
Danville extended to Madison by the
end of next year. Weshall then have
five railway outlets; including the
G. +. & Y. V. and the new road pro-
jected would give us seven.-J. B., to
Durham Globe.
You may talk about yer watermillions

Lut dis niger am waitin' fur de hog-kll

This greasy hog-killing time is now
upon us. A subscriber asks us to
publish the following weights of some
porkers: w. A. Mitchell killed two
IA months weighing 319 and 3O7;
one ten months old, 27O lbs; one
eight months old, LAT lbs. Total 1 )
O43 lbs. A. T. Kallam killed six that
weighed 1, ,233 lbs.
Quite little breeze was raised in
town on Tuesday when it was known
that third survey would be made
through Madison because of the
heavy indemnity claimed by owners
of land along the former route, and
that the road would most probably
be located on this survey, which runs
through the western limits of the
corporation, back of the Smith lands.
The road had already been definitely
located. as we believed, and so the
managers of the road thought, on
the second survey near the c. F. &
Y. V. line. The last survey is about
one-half mile shorter than the first
and the cost of grading will be the
same. For Madison as whole there
will be very little difference in the
benefits derived whatever line is tax
