OUR Ora BED SCHOOLS.
Their Opening Mondsy y Maguihcent
Success.

The city schools opened Monday.
Creeping unwillingly to schooln
after summers rest and sport,
Young America was seen this morn
ing. Never before in the history of
Winston has it's Board of Education
striven harder or succeeded better in
afording students every facility and
ilducement to gain the advantages
of good education.
Architects and builders haAe been
busy all summer erecting and fitting
up the new North Winston and re-
pairing the Fourth street buildings
and both are models of perfection
and rank with the finest in the State.
Indeed, in interior finishings and
accommodations the Winston schools
(white and colored are claimed to
be superior to those of any other
place in North Carolina.
Something over twenty teachers,
six more than last year, Monday be-
gan their labors of teaching the
young idea how to shoot. Some few
minor changes have been arranged
in the course of study, but the meth
DDS of instruction and the various
branches taught in the entire system
OF the Graded Schools will be the
same as last year.
Beginning Tuescay all of the
schools will have one session per
day as heretofore, continuing so un
til May 10th. Thanksgiving Day,
Christmas holidays and Easter. are
the only vacations the boys and girls
can hope for until after the May ex-
aminations.
The opening Monday morning was
iude ed, propitious. The exact number
enrolled at all the schools have not
yet been ascertained, however, it is
the largest in the history of the
Winston system. 1t may be reason
able TO expect that over one hundred
additional will enter during the
week and by Monday next nearly
eight hundred white pupils alone
will in all probability be matricnla-
ted at the two buildings.
Prof. John j. Blair, the -superin-
tendent, feels encouraged at the
bright outlook to-day and his untir-
ing zeal and efforts in conjunction
with the army Of earnest teachers
will make the ensuing session the
most successful in the history of the
schools.
At o'clock a. M, Revs. e. P. Da-
Wis and W. C. Norman opened the
West Winston aud North Winston
schools, respectively, with prayer
| and quite a concourse of visitors
were present at each place

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
A Negro Ran Over by the Train and
Probably Fatally Injured at the
II. & ID. Depot this y. III.
A horrible accident I,

A horrible acccid lent
A shifting train on the r. & d. ran
over n colored man, Lee Malone, Mon
day afternoon at 2-4O Immediately in
front of the Richmond and Danviile
passenger depot, inflicting Injuries
that will in all probability prove
fatal
The right leg was mashed into a
Jelly from the foot to six inches above
the knee while the left leg was bruised
and otherwise mangled, not enough
SO however to necessitate an amputa-
ton. The body was also badly
bruised and the blood was seen stream
ing from II cut on the head.
Altogether the unfortunate man is
horribly mutilated.
THE CAUSE.
The usual number of colored people
were gathered around the depot, as
are generally seen in the afternoon,
laughing, talking and making the air
ring with merriment when Il hush
followed: for a second the air was
still and then the horrors of tho ter
rible accident were realized. The vic
tim Lee Malone, IL young negro of
about twenty one years was playing
in the waiting room with Jack Hayes,
another negro about eighteen years
old, when the former, trying piayfully
to escape, ran out of the entrance
door, across the 'platform!and on the
track before lie could realize his peril.
A shifting train passing was against
the office at the time and ere the un-
fortunate man could clear the track
the accident had occurred.
1t was a horrible sight.
He was lain out on the depot plat
form and Dr's Galloway and Sum
mers were Immediately summoned to
his side. No effort will be spared to
save his life though at present the
prospect seems hopeless.
Hundreds OF people We're gathered
Iat the seene7of the aceiiant.
LATER-The negro is dead.

ORTIZ STEIN IN JAIL.
With $40, 900 on his head, the news
paper man run down.

The Atlanta Constitution this
morning gives the full account of the
arrest in Stone Mountain Georgia,
Sunday night, of Orth Stein, the
brilliant young journalist, who has
SO many crimes to his credit and
SIC, COCOON his head. Stein is a young
man of thirty years and when quite
a youth acquired an enviable reputa-
ton as a journalist of worth and
merit.
Highly educa ted and refined he was
the fovorite of society and in his
western home was respected as a
young geneous. Then the crimes
came.
Taking the wine cup frequ sn:ly to
his mouth and setting often at the
gaming table, he began travelling the
road to ruin. A murder was commit
ted; the murderer fed and from that
date Stein has been Il hunted man.
He was acquitted of this crime and
afterwards several swindling cases
were laid at his door and altogether,
he has been a great criminal at the
same time man of hair breadth
adventure. He tells a sad story He
says in n manuscripts:
eff all the facts We're known in my
case L believe l would be as much
pitied as condemned. The truth is
bad-shameful; the embellishments
are simply monstrous. The fact OF
the matter is, that | am not a great
criminal, nor a shrewd, cunning
villain, as the newspapers have
pictured me, going about seeking
what might devour, but hunted,
bounded, sick and heart broken man,
who has been driven into despera-
ton. if ever anybody in this world
has BEEN"
1t seems that every effort a living
new and an honorable life failed
and he gave up in despair, drowning
his trouble with whiskey and opium
1t is said that public opinion is
| greatly in his favor and that in all
probability he will be spared to live
a better life. He is a remarkable
young man and at the same time a
remarkable criminal

of the State Alliance in Raleigh a let
ter to the head of the National Col

the views Of the white Alliance as to
the action of the colored Alliance re-

The letter states that it is clear that
the step taken is detrimental to the
