Tarboro Southern: The Tarboro
Water Works Company will bore for
an .artesian we'll, says Nj. Phipps, of
the Connecticut Pipe Company. Mr.
Spandour who put down the present
system of water works has been asked
for estimates and New York experts
are also being consulted. It Is now
almost certain that the company will
supply the town from wells and not
from the creeks.
Mr. HI. Men. Lytch's mill, cotton gin
house and engine standing ear by
were burned last Sunday morning.
The fire was discovered about 3 o'clock
In morning. Origin of the fire un-
known. In addition to the loss of the
houses and engine five bales of seed
cotton and 200 bushels of cotton seed
were totally destroyed and Il bales of
cotton were badly damaged, says the
L~aurlnburg Exchange.
A telegram of Messrs. Roberts Bros,
informs them that their schooner, the
Matte E Hiles, Capt. Dave Ireland,
went ashore at Currituck inlet, As
miles north of Mays Head. Both the
vessel and cargo are a total loss. The
cargo consisted of 600 sacks salt con
signed jointly to Messrs. Roberts Bros,
and Mr.. E. K. Bishop, and of molasses
and shot consigned to the former alone.
The cargo was invoiced at 5000. The
schooner was worth 50. 500, says the

LONDON, Nov. The Board of Ag-

landed at Dundee from Canada by the
steamers Hurona and Monkseaton be
slaughtered, owing to the discovery of
pleuro-pneumonia among them. The
killing of the animals began on Friday.

Altogether the steamers landed 1000
head Of cattle. Scotch veterinary sur
geons declare that the disease is not
pleuro pneumonia, but a non-con-
tagious affection, the symptoms Of
which are similar to those of pIeuro-
pneumonia. They blame the govern
ment for acting too hastily In the mat

it becoming necessary for Scotchfarm-
ers to replenish their stocks. The gov

sharpest scrutiny.

THREE TRAINS IN A E

PTTsBURa, Pa, Nov. "A disas-
trous wreck occurred on the Fort
Wayne road at the Washington avenue
crossing in Allegheny about 1 o'clock
this morning when a fast freight from
the east was hit by the Keystone ex-
press from Chicago, smashing six cars
and badly wrecking the engine Of the
express. In the confusion no precau-
ton was taken to flag the fast express
out of Chicago. and this train, running
at a terrific speed, crashed into the
first wreck, completing a blockade of
the three tracks. Engineer~S auerback.
of the Chicago express, was badly
crushed. The fireman was badly hurt.
The passengers in each of the express
trains were badly frightened and many
rushed out on the tracks in their night
clothes. After about an hours delay
the tracks were cleared and extra en-
gines proceeded with the passenger
trains.

THE RIVER SET ON FIRE.
One Life Lost, Two Men Badly Burned,
and a Vessel Damaged

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IA thought.
less act cost one life and much suffer
ing to two men and destroyed SIS. 600
worth of property this evening at
Point Breeze, the extreme southern
point of the city. The SchuyIkill river
at Point Breeze is always covered with
a thin scum of oil from adjacent oil
works, and since the oil fire there on
Sunday more than the usual quantity,
has been floating on the surface.
William Miller, Albert Krumbach,
and Warren Hit, all young men,
started from the eastern shore at Point
Breeze this evening In a rowbOat to.
cross the river. When about $50 feet
from the shore one of the men lighted
his pipe and carelessly tossed the blaz-
ing match into the water. As it fell
into the water a burst of fame shot up
alongside the skif, and almost instant
" the surface of the river around the
boat was blazing fercely.
The flames of the burning oil licked
the gunwales of the light craft, and the
men, realizing that il would be quickly
consumed, plunged into the burning
fluid around them and started to swim
ashore. THEIR circle grew larger and
spread more rapidly than they could
swim, and they found that they were
being roasted alive. Hit sank beneath
the flaming surface and was seen no
more, but his two companions by re-
peatedly diving and swimming beneath
the surface succeeded in reaching the
shore.
Both men were horribly burned
about the shoulders, head, face and
arms. They were taken tothe hospital

The fire in the meantime had spread
down the river, and the wrecking
steamer Maryland. which was lying ia
the stream working to raise the burned.
bark Felix, caught fire. and before che
could steam out of the fire she had been
damaged to che exsent of $I5, 600.
Streams Of water from several en-
gines and tugs finally put the burning
oil out. The Maryland is owned By
the Red Star Line.

GRAND RALLY IN PLYMOUTH.
One Thousand Men on the Ground The
Speakers, Butler and Aycock, at
Their Best.

Mr. EDITOR:-I never saw such a
large turn out of the farmers in Wash
ington county. They came from all
parts of the county, both whites and
black, to hear the issues of this cam
paign discussed. / tell you, sir, many
of the old farmers were almost out of
heart they had heard so much said
about Bro Butler by such men as T. j..
Jarvis & Co. But their fears are all
gone. Bro. Butler did a big thing for
the people in this county. He showed
the corruption of both of the old par
ties SO clear and forcibly and the grand
aim of the Peoples party that he made
votes by the hundred for the PEOPLES
party. A Rev. colored gentleman
came to where Mr.. Butler and I were
standing and told Mr.. Butler that he
had made ~150 colored votes that day.
Mr.. Aycock never answered one of the
arguments that Mr.. Butler made He
said more about Mr.. Butler than he did
about the issues. Itellyou, sir, I never
heard a nan used up like Aycock was.
Butler wore him out completely. He
asked all who were going to vote for
Cen James B. Weaver to hold up their
hands, and UP went three-fourths of
the vast multitude with shouts and
yells that made the old forlorn Demo
Gratis quake and tremble.
Comrades be of good cheer, that is
just the way we eastern boys will vote
IN November, and we will sh9w them
better than we car tell them. I am of
the decided opinion that we will carry
North Carolina. The Democrats say
they will do us like they did In Geor
gla. If they do they will have a lively
time of it. The Peoples party is too
strong to be bulldozed or run over by
them. All we ask is a fair count and
we viii be satisfied with the result. So
mote it be.
Respectfully,
a. @. VENT.

TWENTY KILLED OUTRIGHT.
Fearful Accident in an English Express
Train.

LONDON, Nov. Am appalling rail
way accident occurred this morning
lear Thirsk, In Yorkshire, by which
twenty persons were killed and large
number injured.
The express train, which leaves Edin-
burgh every evening for London, was
running at full speed as it approached
Thirsk, when ahead of it appeared a
heavily laden goods train The en-
gineer of the express train reversed his
engine and put on the brakes, but the
momentum of the heavy express was
too great, and it dashed into the good
train, making a most terrible wreck.
To add to the horror the carriages
caught fire and were destroyed Al
large number of persons from near by
places were soon at the scene aRd did
everything possible to extrIcateeShe
dead and injured, The burning cars
greatly hampered their efforts, u5had
it not been for their bravery, the loss
of life would have been much greater.
The scene at the wreck is pitiable.
Some of the bodies taken out Of the
debris were burned beyond all sem
blance to humanity. Their clothing
had been destroyed, and in some cases
the iewelry worn was melted by the
intense heat.
This will render the Identification of
the dead extremely difficult, if not al
together impossible.
A wrecking train was dispatched to
the scene as o as the fact of disaster
became known. A number of ply
sicians have been carried to the wreck
and they at once devoted themselves
to relieving the sufferings of the in
jured.
