The Side Walk Question,

A prominent merchant said to
your reporter a few DAYS ago, that
the merchants Of Durham ought to
raise a fund and send our Board Of
Aldermen on an inspecting tour.
That it would probably convince
them that they needed a few good
examples set them by the live, pro-
gressiye Aldermen Of other critics.
He firmly believes a little travelling
would do them good. No one has
yet seen fit to give one reason for
their action in not allowing our
merchants a small part Of the side.
walks. Reconsider this matter gen.
tlemen; give our merchants a chance.
Another leading merchant SAID, the
Board had acted very inconsistently
in granting privileges to the use Of
nearly one-half Of Main street to
run steam engine and coaches and
refused to give them two feet to
display their goods. THE RECORD
IR would like to see the Board give
equal privileges towards all. We
believe they acted wisely in granting
the street car privileges bat not
consistent with their former action
towards our merchants.

True Pluck. =,

Last Thursday evening about half
past 6 o'clock, some Internal thief
entered the room Of Mrs. Lawrence
on South street while all were at
supper. There was nothing in the
front yard to break the death-like
stiffness Of the coming night; Mrs.
Lawrence, with quiet step returned
to her room which she had left a
few minutes before and where she
left lamp burning She had not
advanced far, when the thief sprang
out Of the room and ran down the
stairway, passing within a few
inches Of Mrs. Lawrence, she caught
hold Of his coat, and the thief broke
loose, throwing her against the
side door breaking out the glass,
making bad cut on her arm. No
doubt f she had been armed she
would have sent the Internal thief
to where he would have been sing.
ing Psalms in another place. When
she told him to "halt!' he dropthe
watch and two fine rings that he
had taken from the room, but he
made his escape with a pocket
book which contained about two
dollars in silver.

large nails and beat her on the head in

entering the skull. After striking her

PHILADELPHIA, June A business
mems meeting was held at the Walnut
Street Theater yesterday afternoon at
which Alexander Mcclure presided. The
tobacco, tin-plate and wooden industries
were largely represented. Among the
speakers were Congressman McAdoo,
Springer, Bynum ana Breckenridge Of

Both meetings were called for the
purpose of protesting against the Nc
h1nley bill. There were from 1000 to
10, 600 people at the Kensington meet
ings and three overflow meetings were
necessary. A big parade of working
men preceded the meetings.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that both parties had promised to amend
the tariff so as to remove unnecessary
burdens and enlarge the markets; that
the party now in power had, on the con-
trary, proposed to add to the burden
and restrict the market by the McKin-
ley bill; and the meeting would be sat
lsned with nothing short of free raw
materials and such general reduction of
tariffs as to chespen the pecessaries of

Missouri VALLEY, Iowa, June g.
The village of Loveland, eight miles
from here, was almost totally destroyed
by huge waterspout Sunday.
Loveland is located in the Boyer val
ley in a gully. A terrific storm
amounting to a cloudburst passed over
the valley, breaking a mile above town,
sweeping down the street and leaving
hardly house in the town.
The loss of life as far as has been
heard from includes Mrs. Sayles, an aged
woman and her son and others whose
names are now unknown.
One family was taken off the tree tops
the next morning where they had been
swept by the food. One of the family
had been swept past and drowned.
The search for the missing bodies is
so far unsuccessful.
Advices later from the scene of the
Loveland disaster indicate that the first
reports probably overestimated its mag
nitude. Mrs. Sayles is the only loss of
life so far as known. The village is a
small one, and the material loss, there
fore, is not large. The river has sub
sided to its usual channel, but an all
days search failed to reveal any further
