Western North Carolina.

The wreck near Statesville, N. G.
yesterday morning, in which Rev. j.
M. Sykes, of this city, lost his
life, was one OF the most disastrous
known in the annals of that State,
and as r, sult twenty-five dead

feet to the creek below, carrying
death and destruction with it. All

exception Of three, all of which are
ladies. Among the list of the dead,
as furnished the American by wire,

list of the seriously wounded B. N.
N. Estes, Jr., of Memphis, is men,
toned. One of the bodies not yet
identified is thought to be that OF
Mrs. F. II. White, Of Memphis, who
had been summering at Hillsborough,
N. c., and was en- route home.
1t is given out here. to-day that the
remains of Rev. ]. M. Sykes will be

why DOCS the sun Continue to Burn7
Thousands of curious and ingenious the
cries have been brought forth to account
for the fact that the sun, although he has
whirled his burning disk across the heav
ems for untold ages, continues to burn
without being consumed or his bulk being
lessened in the least. Some learned men
affect to believe that the great orb is a
monstrous ball of gas, but even great
ball of gas would be consumed in it's ut.
most atom in the course of few thou
sand years. Others pretend to believe that
its fires are kept up by the remains of
wrecked worlds which are constantly fall.
ing into its depths, but even this seems far
from probable, not to say II purely absurd
conclusion.
In giving his opinion ON the last conten-
ton, one of the most eminent astronomers
of the day has figured that a mountain
range consisting of 176 cubic miles falling
into the sun would only be sufficient to
maintain the present heat for single Sec
md; mass equal to that Of our earth
would engender only enough of heat to
last ninety,three years.-New York Tele-

THE WRONG MAN.
The Police Thought They Had MUIR
derer, But They Didn't.

Police Officer Collier arrested a
man last night who gave his name
as Proctor, near the passenger depot,
thinking he was Jade Walker, of
Stewart county, who knocked Jesse
Hinson in the head with a wagon
standard at Viewers store, in Stew
art county, last Saturday. The
fight took place at barbecue at the
above mentioned place, and Hinson
has since died from the effects of the
wounds received at the hands of
Walker. A description of Walker
was furnised the police here and Col
lier thought he had the right man,
but he was mistaken and Proctor
was turned loose.
When the arrest was made Proctor
protested his innocence and said that
he had been robbed OF $4,000 between
the city and the depot. He told
the officers that man
drew pistol on him and made him
give up the money. This was not
believed, however, and the police
think he concocted the report to
make them turn him loose. He was
green countryman and when the
officers told him to go he was one of
the happiest men that has been seen
in the city for long time, and he
told the police if they sever got
round in his neck o. the woods to
call on him and he would treat them
white"
The Hopkinsville Kentuckian says
the difficulty between the two men
occurred three miles south of Lafay-
cite over game of cards.
Walker picked up a heavy wagon
standard and struck Hinson above
the eyes, telling him like an OK. The
skin was not broken, but he died
with conclusion of the brain two
days later, without regaining con-
seriousness. Walker fed immediate
ly and is still at large, A posse of
men organized themselves into a
searching party and have been out
all the week, but have found no trace
of the murderer. A private reward,
says the Kentuckian, will be offered
for his apprehension, which added to
the regular State reward, will stimu-
late the search and aid in his capture.
ARRESTED AGAIN.
Proctor was re arrested by Chief

How often will our tired souls come
back on memory's wing
To gaze again upon the peace, to
