A special from Durham announces that
that city will send a rousing delegation
down to Raleigh on the day of the Steven
son reception here to participate in the oc-
casion.
Several years ago a wealthy man named
Rex died here and left a valuable site and
large sum of money 10 construct hospltai
for the afflicted and infrm of this city. No
steps have ever been taken to provide the
hospital, and last night the trustees of the
Rex hospital fund and property authorized
the board of aldermen of Raleigh 20
take legal action at once to determine
whether the site gwen by Mr. Rex IN his
will can be lawfully disposed of by the city
or the trustees and another site purchased
out of the funds. and property devised and
bequeathed by Mr.. Rex and to ask for au-
thority to dispose of the site in case it can
be done legally. The work will then be
proceeded with.
An accident. which came near proving
terrible and fatal one, occurred this morn
ing at Messrs. Ellington * Registers shops.
G. w. Bishop. a sawyer at the shops, while
at work got his clothing caught in set
screw and was instantly snatched to the
machinery and every vestage of clothing
was torn from him, leaving nothing on but
his shoes. The clogging of the fragments
of clothing partially stopped the machinery
80 that the band was jerked of the wheel,
and thus Mr.. Bishop was saved from being
cut and ground to pieces. He was much
bruised and lacerated.
