About a week ago Charles Ferris, a
farmer of Sherbourne, England, was out
in the moving field when he was called
to hive a swarm Of bees which had set
tied in the garden. While so engaged he
was severely stung, He went into his
house and died in q few minutes. When
a doctor was called it was found that q
bee had got into the mans throat and
stung it, and, a rapid swelling ensuing
he died Of suffocation.

five miles east of Albany, Ga, at 23O
O'Clock this morning. The train is due

feet, but before the train could be estoppcd
it was detached and rolled down over
the embankment. There were eight
passengers in the sleeper, all of whom
were badly bruised and shaken up. They
were made as comfortable as possible
until the train reached Waycross, where
surgeon Falks, of the Savannah, Florida
and Western road came aboard and at
tended the injured ones.
No bones had been broken, and all
seven were able to proceed. The train
reached here at o'clock p. m., to-day,
five hours late. The injured passengers
were at once driven to the Duval hotel.
Among them arc Bishop Whipple and
wife, of Minnesota; Miss Anderson and
r. Marshall, of Pamona, Fla. They are
all suffering more or less, and Marshall
complained Of severe pains in the hips,
but they will proceed on their journey to-
morrow. They regard their escape as a
miracle.

which we gratefully appreciate, While
making our acknowledgements. we hope
we will not be considered captious when
we remind the Democrat that in its last

Al ErrOr.

In yesterday mornings notice under
the head OF Prepare for Thanksgiving,
there was an error insomuch as relates
to the disposition of the offerings of the
fruits of the earth" as contributed to
the offerings for the occasion at the Epis-
copal church. 1t was stated that latter
the services all such gifts as are suitable
will be sold or distributed for the benefit
of the poor members of the parish"
There was the mistake. Such will be
sent as usual to the Hospital for the ben
eft OF the patients there.
And we may remind our readers that
Thanksgiving Day, when all hearts are,
or ought to he, full of gratitude for bless
ings received and enjoyed, is the day when
the Hospital, the type othuman suffering
and destitution, should be remembered
by every body. Such memory is putting
thanksgiving into concrete form, making
it real and practical, not selfish or senti-
mental.
Let the festivities of Thanksgiving Day
be closely and practically associated with
duty to the needy and suffering.

The PROPULSION of Lovely Things
to be Found at L Laws.

Any one stopping into Laws elegant
rooms, if he had not thought of it before
would be impressed with the pleasant
sensation that the holidays were at hand
for the briIlianCy, the novelty, the ele.
gance of the exhibit would impress him
with the fact that it was no Ordinary oc-
casion that called for such elaborate pre-
hminarieS. True, at Laws elegance,
good taste and Judgment aud elaborate
supply are always to be found, but he has
undertaken, and with signal success, to
add brighter hues to the lily and gildcd
splendor to the refined gold.
Those who attend the grand opening
tomorrow will see at once that wemake
no exaggerated suggestions; they will
find how the language of description
must limp and halt and confess its inca
pacity. We shrink from the task as We
might draw away from the attempt to
paint the colors of the rainbow. There
is maze of beautiful shapes, of exquisite
designs, of gorgeous coloring; there is
genius in art and skill in execution; there
is the provision for use. there is the trib-
ute to sentiment. In whatever apart
ment of the extensive display YOU wall
der, among the magnificent china and
tributes from the most ia
nous factories Of Europe, or choice treas
ures of American skill, among the glitter,
ing array OF silver plate or the tasteful
articles ofjewelry, the tempting reposi-
tories of stationery, the beautiful things
appropriate for the toilet, the vases, the
the marvellous curios. the
holiday books, the engravings, the toys.

Suspected commissioners.

DANvILL, Va, November 23.-Judge
John Paul, who is holding a session ofthe
United States district court here, an
nounced to-day from the bench that,
from the large number OF trivial cases
sent on to his court by United States
commissioners he suspected some of them
were trumped up for the purpose of col
Letting fees. He ordered the clerk of tnc
court to make out list Of all the com
missioners in the district, together with
an abstract OF the testimony in each case
sent on, declaring his intention to make
full investigation; and if his suspicious
were confirmed that he would reform the
abuse if he had to remove every commits
sioner in the district.

mark that while we do make ourselvc.
responsible for the justice of the article
we did so on general principle, the force
OF which is recognized everywhere. We
did so, not referring SO especially to this
place, but recalling what we had read q
day or two previous as affecting another
prosperous town in this State with dis.
astrous effect 1t would seem bv the ex-
ample given by the correspondent to
whom Gwyn & West refer that there
was at least one diversion of investment
from this place by what were deemed ex-
ccSsivc valuations. At the same time we
are free t" say that there has been a
steady continuous rise in values here, de-
monstrating that prices put on property
were not too high.

The statement in SAID article that Ashe-

at prices they hope to realize, and our
observation for twelve years past CON
vlnces us that the hopes of Asheville real
estate owners have been we'll founded
and more than realized in the steady ad-

BERLIN. November 23.-The terms o

The Austrian side brought about a rup-
ture OF the proposed marriage of Prince
Ferdinand to Princess D. Alencon The
Austrian finance minister refused to al
low on the Bourse the quotation of the
Landerbank loan to Bulgaria. Count
kalnoky has instructed the Austrian
Consul in Sofia to modify his PARTISAN
ship in behalf of Prince Ferdinand. Fl
nally, the Emperor Francis Joseph,
though resenting the suggestion of the
cession of rrentino to Italy has con-
sented to grant TO Trentino an au
tonomous local administration sep
arate from the German tyrol Of
which it has hitherto formed a
part. The members of the Italian tyrol
will hcnceforth assemble at Trent. The
Diet at Innsbruck supported separation
Emperor Francis Joseph has olSo ordered
the release of several Irredentists impris-
oned at Innsbruck, including 'Rossi and
Seampieri, editors of the Italian Inde-
pcndence, who were convicted of treason.
These concessions amount practically to
little. If the Innsbruck Diet had not
voted for tie separation OF the Tren-
tino, the Emperor Francis Joseph
would not have acceded to the proposal.
a further reason for his giving his assent
is that by doing so stopwaS put to the
manouvering of Signor Crispi, the Ital.
ian premier, for the annexation Of Tren-
tino to Italy, Signor Crispi has now
abandoned his plan of visiting Prince
Bismarck at Freidrichsrufe.
Although the quotation OF the Bulga-
rian loan has been stopped, Count Kal-
noky permitted the Landerbank yester-

Russia behind a peaceful diplomatic
mask does not cease her massing of
troops upon her frontiers. Within three

six of infantry have been added to troops

The Alien Labor Law.

WASHINGTON, d. c., November 23.-The
Secretary OF State has referred to the
Secretary of the Treasury a letter adj
dressed by d. L. Wright, president of the
Liverpool Cotton Association to the
United States consul at Liverpool in
regard to alleged violation of alien con-
tract labor law by Townsend, Woolev
and Company of Engiatd in sending an
agent and grader to Norfolk, Va, to
buy cotton for them. Wright requests
to beintormcd if the treasury department
really regards this practice as a viola
tion of law, and il SO, that the prescribed
penalty be remitted in the case OF those
men sent here from England before it
was known that their coming was pro-
hibited. The case referred to by Wright
is one of those recently referred to the
United States district attorney at Nor
folk with Instructions to sue for the
recovery OF the penalty of $1,000 pres
cribed for violations of the labor law,
provided he is satisfied that such action
can be sustained.
