THE BRIDGE DISASTER.
Still Arresting Suspected wrecke

The Danville Register claims to
haye private Information that day
before yesterday detectives employ
ed by the Richmond & Dauville Rail-
road Company arrested at Newton,
n. c., twelve miles west Of States
vile, a white man who is believed to
be the person who wrecked the train
at Bostian bridge on the Western
North Carolina Railway and caused
the horrible disaster, the details of
which are still fresh in the minds of
the public.
The detectives were very secret in
their work, and refused to give the
name of the man arrested. 1t is al
legged that the clue leading to his ar
rest was the fact that he offered for
sale at an insignificant price u dia-
mond scarf pin known to have been
the property of one Of the persons
killed in the wreck. It is also said
that the prisoner let fail remarks
showing that he was Implicated in
the fearful crime of wrecking the
train.

English Railway Rates.

For five years a department of the
British government and various COM
missions have been working at the
problem of regulating, and perhaps
reducing, English railway rates. At
length some sort of conclusion has
been reached, the precise effect of
which nobody processes to under
stand fully. Two things, however,
seem to be clear: There are to be
certain maximum rates which the
companies may not exceed, and for
eign freight is not to be carried at
lower rates than local freight. JUS
tice demanded these reforms. We
have not yet in this country secured
maximum rates, but we have made
some progress in stopping discrimi-
nation by the companies in favor of
the foreigner. AS freight rates are
vastly lower here than in England,
we have not had the same reason for
seeking to prescibe lower rates. Our
complaints at present ARE not SO
much of high rates as of discrimina-
tion, and of the latter less is heard
now than formerly, thanks to the
activity of our Interstate commerce
cOminission.-EX.

The Coming Man.

The coming man will be bald, says
the London Lancer, and it holds the
Derby and the stiff silk hat or beav-
er responsible for the Disagreement
of man. These kinds of headgear
cannot be displaced. They will stay
and utterly sterilize the male scalp.
DIR. Turner, an eminent English
dentist, states that our teeth are fast
deteriorating. The time, it seems,
is not far removed when cililized
man will be toothless. Bald and
toothless he will be pretty sight to
see! The present man ought to be
appreciated by the ladies. He is
more amenable to discipline as well
as handsomer than his successor
without locks or fangs will be. he
should be made the most of while he
lasts,-Ex,

MichiSan's Bi. Peach Crop.

This has been a great peach year
in Michigan as well as on the Eas-
tern Shore of Maryland. Last week
from 100,00 to 100000 baskets per
day were received at Chicago, and
the busy season is expected to con
tinue for month longer. Choice
fruits is bringing Sl,75 and So per
bushel, but prices are expected to
fall when the late fruit comes in.
The Chicago Gamers do not expect
to put up much fruit, owing to its
abundance in the East. One OF
them is quoted as saying: "We are
not canning many peaches this year,
because they are too cheap. You
see, they are also cheap in Mary
land and Delaware. That spoils our
market. If peaches were scarce
over there this year we wonld car
all we could get hold of. AS it is
we will probably not car more than
10000 bushels altogether

Koch's Lymph in Diagnosis.

A commission of the veterinary de-
partment of the University of Penn
sylvania, which has been expert
menting with Rocks lymph, reports
that it is useless as curative but OF
value for diagnosing the disease. The
commission also reports that as it
has been proved that consumption
emanates from milch ca tile, the gov;
ernment should order careful inspect-
ion of the milk and flesh of cattle of
fered as arJicles,of food. The lymph
may be used to determine the pre-.
sence of tuberculosis in cattle, and
those found suffering from the dis.
case should be killed.

A Fortunate Refusal. Certainly.

A man named Tony Roberts, in
Rockingham comfy, last week found
one of his COWS dead in the field.
He said she had been killed by light
ming and after dressing the beef
carried it to Reidsville and offered it
for sale. No one would buy and on
his return rather than haul it home
he threw the meat out of his wagon
a mile from town. Later some dogs
found it and made a supper on it.
The Madison News says every dog
that ate of the beef died in a few
hours, and an examination by a
physician proved that the COW died
from poison.

Senator Ransom's Version.

WAsHINGToN, D. c., Sept. 24.-Sen-
ator Ransom has arrived In
Washington, from North Carolina,
where the Farmers Alliance is par
ticularly active. He says that the
alliance does not threaten the DEM

merely between two factions of the
party for premacy. What the al
lance faction is fighting for in North
Carolina, lie says, is to get control
of the party, not to destroy it.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The pre-

Charles NJ. Stcdman in this city and
a recent visit of Colonel A. b. An
drews has caused considerable talk.
These gentlemen have kept very
quiet and have not mentioned their
plans to any one but it is whispered
that they have come to take n hand
in naming the Southern man who
shall be made Interstate Commerce
Commissioner and that they are
working for North Carolinian.
Who the lucky man shall be
is of course matter of conjecture,
but the more prominent names
mentioned in connection with this
big place are; Col. Alfred Waddeil,
Major William A Graham, and per-
haps, some gRessers say, Col. Andrews
himself l don't think the latter
gentleman would accept the position.
His great executive ability and in
fiuence and experience in railroad
matters ought to induce him to re-
main where he is. 1t would be good
thing, however, fer either one of the
first mentioned gentlemen. The

The New York World says the
latest topic in society is the en9s ge-
ment. announced last Saturday, Of
Miss Celeste Stauffer, of New Orleans,
and Mr.. George Agar. Miss Stautier
is probably the most widely-known
young single woman in America. Her
reputation as a belle, in fact, seems
to extend all over the country. For
several winters Miss Stauffer has been
in town during the height of the
season, and has been the recipient Of
great attentions at Patriarch's and
other balls. She has also had q con
slant succession of dinners and teas
given liz her honor. She is daugh-
ter of Mr.. Isaac IL. Stauffer, of New
Orleans. Mr.. Stauffer, though d
Pennsylvania by birth, has lived fer
years in the South, where his busi-
ness interests originally led him.
The announcement of the engage
ment is surprise to the fashionable
world, for of late it has been rumored
| that she was to marry Mr.. John H.
Davis. The late Samuel J. Tilden

watch his movements through her power
full glass.

by her former admirer, but by his COM
mercial partner, and by many of his i'm

istrate, who sent her to prison for a

A TOWEL folded several times and

A STRIP of flannel or napkin folded

"I very much wish the habit of chew

New York dealer in literary junk, "for
no book dealer can look in peace at q

that the customer is thief.

sellers back is turned, he lays that wet
string along the bound edge of some en-
craving in the book in hand that pleases
him, and straightway opens the book

can turn back to the engraving, and it
will tear out noislessly and with little
effort.

MISS NELLIE o'HAGAN ANNOYED

the sensational Stories Sent Out

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 26.-Miss Nellie
OHagan. of Sandusky, the well known
lady clerk Of the senate is considerably
annoyed over sensational dispatch
from Denver, Col, stating that she
would be arrested for inducing promi-
nent people to cash worthless checks.
Miss o. 'Hagan said that she was at Col

when about to board train for home
to go to the bedside of her sick mother
in Sandusky, she found that she had
not enough money to get home and
gave her check for $120 and got il
cashed. The check was forwarded to
her bank at Sandusky for collection,
but during her mothers illness theil
bank account had been overdrawn and
the check was returned unpaid. She
became sick and forgot all about the
check until her attention was called tt
it. She called in friend and gave
him money to pay it, failing to take 9
receipt for it as she believed him to be
thoroughly reliable and trustworthy
She does not think this has anything
to do with the above mentioned swind
