It's All a Mistake.

The Monroe papers of last week
contained statement to the effect
that the directors Of the Roanoke &
Southern r. r. had met in Baltimore
and decided to extend the road to
Monroe
There are two errors in this. In
the first place, the stockholders did
not meet in Baltimore, but in Roam
oke. In the second place they did
not decide to extend the road to
Monroe. The southern route of the
Roanoke & Southern R. r. has not
yet been decided on. The location
will depend entirely on the nature OF
the ground and the amount of sub
scriptions on the several lines pro-
posed. We think Monroe has not
talked subscription as she should il
she really wants the road.

DEATH IN AN INSTANT
The Lightning Strikes An Old Man and
His Grandchildren.


That wns II terrific thunder storm
that pIa we'd around Winston Monday
afternoon.
1t commenced about four O'Clock
AMI the lightning flashed and played
for over an hour. In Winston it
popped and cracked over the house
tops 1t ran along the electric-light
wires and made the lamps flare into
blazes of light every few minutes.
There was death in it,
About four miles to the northeast
of Winston, at Daisy station, on the
Roanoke & Southern r. R., old Mr.
Jno. Griffin was sitting in the centre
of his room, his two grandchildren,
a boy and girl, aged respectively
six and eight Years, were playing
about his knees Their mother, Mrs.
Shuffer, was in the same room with
them
Everything was happy. They We're
enjoying the refreshing breeze, little
dreaming of the awful fate that was
impending. In an instant everything
was changed. Life had given place
to death. The lightning struck a
tree in the yard and ran into the
room Within one second the old
man and the two children lay dead
and still and the mother was senseless.
The roof of the house was set on
fire in two or three places, but was
soon extinguished by the neighbors.
Doctors Dalton and Summers were
summoned from Winston and went
to the scene of horror as soon as pos
sible: to give medical attention to
the stricken mother
They found that the old man and
the children had died instantly. The
lightning had struck them about the
neck and had gone down their sides,
burning and charring the flesh as it
went. The woman was badly shock
ed and painfully burned, but sus-
tanned no dangerous hurt. Her shoes
We're burned from her feet and her
feet were badly scorched, but other
wise there was no trace OF the deadly
fluid on her person.
All that kind and sympathetic
friends could do was done and the
neighbors fiocked to the scene of the
disaster for miles around
