The Drowned VVIlIIam Orr.

The body of the unfortunate man,
drowned on the night of the oath, inst.
at the boom at the junction of the French
Broad and Swannanoa rivers, has not
yet been recovered. The mass of logs has
been removed without revealing the OBJ

perhaps already undertaken, to make
search down the French Broad, canoes
being used for the purpose.

WASHINGTON MATTERS.
Secretary window SustajnS the
New York Collector.

WASHINGTON, October 2.-ProteSt has
been made to the treasury department
against the action of the collector Ot GUS
toms at New York in refusing to accept
preliminary entries for expectation with
the benefit of the drawback of certain
lutte bagging shipped as covering OF cot
ton in bales. The collector reported that
the entries were rejected for the reason
that they did not conform to the rule laid
down in section $3.50, paragraph |,
which, he says, requires that merchandise
covered by preliminary entries should be
fully described therein by marks and num-
bers. He said that case of cotton bales
covered with bagging on which a draw
back is claimed, when the bales are not
described in the preliminary marks, such
entries would be drag net for draw
back on all coverings for cotton exported
by vessels Of the line named on the entry,
and would lay the foundation for con-
tlicting claims and give color of claim to
4 drawback. In a letter to the collector
Dn this subject Secretary Window says:
BY reference to section 9571 it appears
that an omission of shipping numbers
from Il preliminary entry OF cotton bag
ring NAV be allowed when it is found to
De impracticablc for the exporter to give
such numbers and when they may be

deemed Indispensable. The statement
made in the protest that it is impossible
to comply with the requirement "t thC
specification of each bale of cotton by
the shippers mark and numbers in the
preliminary entries does not appear to be
we'll founded, at least as to the marks.

in the hands of Joseph Fischesscr went
off and shot Dennis Murphy in the
I'D, went into Wimun's, asked iiSch-
csscr. who is fifteen years of age, if he
didn't want To purchase Il pistol
Murphy was standing up against the
counter near the door and handed the
weapon, which was 80 calibre, double
action, safety har mrr, British Bulldog
over to Fischesser, who is salesman in
the store, and was just behind the
counter. He took it and while lingering
the trigger, it went off, while the muzzle
was pointed directly in the face of
Murphy. The ball entered the left lower
lip of the latter, knocking out three
teeth, going through his tongue, missing
the tOnsils, and lodging next to the
muscle in the back of his neck He fell
over backwards. Sergeant Jetton, who
was across the street, heard the report
OF the pistol and saw Murphy as he fell.
He ran over to the place picked the boy
up, and took the pistol away from
Fischesser, who,still had it i'll his hand. He
was up on the counter, leaning over and
looking at the prostrate form ofMurphy
and crying piteously. He declared that
he didn't know that the pistol was
loaded. Murphy was carried across the
street to DR.. Misenheimer' Office, where
number of physicians examined his
wound, which they pronounce not
necessarily fatal. If inflammation sets
in, the ball will he probed for.

SLEEPlESS NIGHTS.
Waking Tired Mornings Results
in Shattered Nerves.
How TO Obtain Natural, Refreshing sleep


No greater calamity can befall person than to
become sleepess. The weak, tired and utter
exhausted feelings following wakeful, disturbed
and undressing nights are terrible. What
wonSser that there are so many shattered nerves,
tired brains and debilitated bodies when we
consider the thousands who pass sleepless or
disturbed nights, and rise mornings feeling
miserable, dragged out and hardly able 10 face
the days work. Myrads thus allow themselves
to drift toward the awful verge Of insanity or
paralysis without knowing that the feelings and
senaiions which they experience are fast hurry
ing them on TO utter mental collapse and abso
lutte prostraiion of nerve power.
1t Is folly to fly to the use of opiates for they
are followed by even worse effects. There is one
sure way to cure sleeplessness and that is by the
use OF Dr. Greene's Nervura, the great brain and
nerve invigorant which is purely vegetable
remedy and perfectly harmless. 1t may be given
TO infants, children or the most delicate invaids
without fear. 1t soothes, Gains and quiets the
weakened, initated and overweight nerves,
producing perfect repose and refreshing, natural
sleep; at the same time its builds up and tones up
the nerves and gives renewed life, strength
vitality and vigor to the system. 1t can be
obtained at any druggists for 81 per bottle.
DIR. Greene, who prepares this wonderful nerve
restorative, is the most successful specialist in
the cure OF nervous diseases, and he may be con-
suited, free of charge, at his office, "a Temple
Place, Boston, Mass, personally or by letter.
