AMAZING CRUELTY,

New YORK, Oct. 17.-One of the
most amazing cases of cruelty to a
child that has come to the public
notice has been perpetrated near
Mont Clair, NJ. A girl, nearly
Is years of age was shut up in a
case in which she can scarcely
move. Imagine a pen five feet
nine inches in length by two feet
seven inches in width. The girl
has been living in this prison for
the last three years. Her parents
have tried to get the health author
tiles of the township to take charge
OF her, but the authorities have
turned deaf ear on their appeal.
She is the daughter of Edward
kimball Mason, a laborer, who
scarcely earns enough to support
himself. She was an imbecile from
her birth, and has never spoke word.
When she was a child she used to
tear her clothes off. Neither her
father nor her mother knew what to
do with her. They applied to the
authorities to put her in the insane
asylum, but their request was not
needed. Meantime the girl was
growing stronger and more danger.
Gus. When she was allowed to 20
through the house she smashed the
pottery and broke the windows.
Her father built the pen for her in
the kitchen. 1t was boarded up in
the northeast side of house and was
hardly big enough for her to turn
around in.
The prison was just beside the
kitchen window, which was pro.
'ected ny wooden bars so that the
girl could not break the glass.

for the neighbors. When

authorities will look after the case. .

CORVALLIS, Ore, Oct. 2O.-Eger.
ton Hogg, receiver of the Oregon
Pacific railroad, appeared in the
state circuit court today to show
cause why he should not be re-
moved. The petition was filed by
the employees, who have claims
against the company amounting to
nearly 100000. The Judge or.
dered the road to be sold as soon
as the proper advertisements can
be made, and the proceeds applied
to the payment of the employees,
The attorney for the bondholders
announced he would file a petition
tor the removal of Receiver Hoge
accompanied by an assurance that

due employees would be paid if the
court would appoint new receiver

The meeting was largely attended,
fourteen millions of the fifteen mill
lions of outstanding bonds being
represented. The venerable John
I. Blair of New Jersey, one of the
largest bondholders, was present,
and the story circulated was that a
violent alteration had occurred
between Mr.. Blair and Egerton
Hogg, the receiver and president of
the road. Investigation, however,
showed that the alleged alteration
was purely imaginary. President
Hogg did not attend the meeting.
Doubtless had Mr.. Hogg been pres
ent when the bondholders were ex-
pressing their opinions of him,
there would have been an alterca-
ton. His financial methods were
bitterly criticized, and hopes were
expressed that means could be
found to take the road out of his
hands. The road when completed

KILLED ON TIE RAIL
4 Man Meets an Awful Deatb "
Durham.
Especial to STATE CHRONICLE

DURHAM, \. O., April Is, 1S91.-Th.
Sun, of this evening, says that tbis
morning a man was found dead IN tbo
middle of the r. & D. track, two miles
above Durham, near HickstoWn. His
name was freeman Jeffries, and il i
supposed that the freight train from the
east, leaving here about o'clock this
morning, killed him. The freight train
from Greensboro also passed over his
body.
1t seems that he went to Vickers bar
room, near Hickstown last night and
imbibed pretty freely in corn Juice or
some other juice, and when lie left for
home, which was far into the night. he
was very much under the influence of in
toxicants. 1t is supposed that he lay down
upon the railroad crossing and went to
sleep and the train from Goldsboro
came along and knocked him of killing
him instantly. He met his fearful
death not many yards from his home.
His face was badly bruised and covered
with train grease, his breast crushed in,
and his head almost severed from the
body.
DR.. n M. Johnson, the Coroner, went
out this morning to hold an inquest Over
the body, but the most important wit
ness could not be found, SO the verdic
in the case was postponed.

The Duty of the Press.
Cor Charlotte Chronicle. J

The press of the State has lately taken
somewhat to the work of self examina-
ton, and think The Chronicle puts it
we'll and strong when it says that the n.
G. newspapers are greatly lacking in
sproper discrimination. The average
N. c. journal is usually On one extreme
or the other; if serious, there is a strain
ed effort at the IMPRESSION and every
thing is "great and glorious" or it is
sensationally small and frivolous, and
then all ''slang and nonsense" There
in painfully absent the simple statement
Of fact, the clear basis of truth and
the conciseness and force Of logic.
Language seems to be used mainly to
conceal thought.
Now to my mind this is easily explain
ed. The average North Caroiinian is
social and genial and depends largely
for life and enjoyment on the feeling
aud sympthy of association. There are
no great interests or pursuits to invite or
force self-reliance or self effort. We
are State of easy and able imitators.
The large cities North and South Of US
and the party strife at Washington
furnishes the cheap pabaulum Of sorry
imitation Hence rag of an editor once
stated that of the 800 copies OF certain
n. c.. Daily 8 tenths of each issue were
! extracts or references touching on city
life or party politics, and only on entirely
