POLICEMAN cRAeTREE TAKES A FALL
When Upset by the Dog, and Saw Nc
Chance of His Escape, the Man
Said II Give Up

A very amusing incident took place on
the street yesterday evening originating
at the market.
A young man had been imbibing too
freely of corn juice and Policeman Crab.
tree thought he needed some attention
which he proceeded to give.
The young man concluded he was able
TO take care of himself and upon that
supposition he lighted out for more con-
genial quarters-the middle of the street
was his highway and his legs were the
means of locomotiOn
He came up by DR.. Johnson's drug
store with hat in hand and determination
in his countenaDce and showed to the
lockers on that he meant business, but his
hopes were suddenly blasted by DR..
Johnsons large Newfoundland dog
which joined Mr.. Crabtree in the chase
The dog showed by his manner that
he did not intend to hurt the man, but
his jumping upon him greatly retarded
his progress.
Finally the dog got in front and the
unfortunate man fell over him, which
ended the chase.
A large crowd gathered in very short
time and followed as if they were in a
fox chase, and the boys were highly ella
ted over the whole affair.
We cannot overlook the fact that Mr..
Crabtree created as much fun as the man
he was pursuing.
While in pursuit, just opposite DR.,
Johnson's drug store, Mr.. Crabtree hit
his toe on rock and turned summer
sault, and those who witnessed the affair
say the stores shook, however, he gained
foothold and succeeded in catching his
pame.

TOBACCO TALK.
Rev. Alex Walker Gives His Views on the
Tobacco Market.

Tobacco Market.
The warehouses are full Of leaf tobacco
and the sales were blocked yesterday and
will be again to day. This, however, is
owing to the fact that double sales could
not be conveniently run. Owing to sick
ness of the auctioneers the force was not
equal to the emergency.
The prices this season On smokers, cut
ters and filters have started off higher
than last year, while wrappers are not so
high Doubtless as the season advances
there will be some changes.
As it is not understood what proper
tion Of the crop will be good, or what
proportion will be of the inferior kind,
as we have before stated some neighbOr-
hoods have had rain sufficient to make
good crops of tobacco, while many suf-
fered either from an excess of rain early
later in the season, and some from both
wet and dry, ali of which have worked
out great damage to the crop, both in
quantity and quality; at the same time
some sections have had good seasons and
made good crops both in quantity and
quality, but how much or what per cent
of the latter class the crop will develop,
remains to be seen. We do not see any
cause, one way or the other, either TO
boom or depress prices. Tobacco, in our
judgment, should, and we believe it will,
sell for good living prices.

People who Come and GO--Brief Brevi-
ties Of Interest to All Readers
of The Globe.

of The Globe.
Il IS said that for peerless woman
Mare Anthony lost a world. Just why
Colonel Marc, who like one of the men,
bcrs Of the North Carolina legislature,
was Roman emperor, desired TO throw
himself away upon the Egyptian sorcer-
e.. of the Niles history's explanation
has simply been--that it was human ma
ture
And human nature in these days it
seems, cuts some queer old capers and
plays some will pranks. Not that Marc
Anthony and Colonel Lemon, starch
man, should be mentioned in the same
connection but there is brief story to
rc}u'c to-day which may Or may not be
of general interest.
And it runs:
Mr.. William Lemon, who sells starch
when starch is starch, for some eastern
house, has found in the quiet solitudes
Of Burlington a hotel, where with a wo-
man who was not his wife, he has lived,
bnt not happily ever afterwards.
Lemon is said TO be about - years Of
age and perhaps older, for the bony
finger Of Time has not fully nabbed him
by the back Of the peck.
In relating story Of this kind it is
folly to attempt to wcaFe the web as webs
are woven, for the reason, as is always
tie case, when man gets into the wide
and winding path, forgets his vows, laughs
at his pledges, and becomes dishonest
with both himself and the world.
y an artistic maker of lemonade has re-
marked, he is sure to go in Lemon but
come out squeezed.
But ,as is a custom Of all true historians,
we resume.
Mr. Lemon, who sells starch and who
will be lucky fellow if the starch is not
taken out Of him, loved not one but two
well. Mr.. Lemon, with a gay and frail
piece Of humanity, for sometime stopped
at the Burlington hotel. This same gay
1ply laCS Df I'm, nil
We speak, was introduced, recognized
and considered the wife of the gentleman
Of starch
But as it hath, in sorrow been told us,
all earthly affairs are transitory, and cen
this side the grave Colonel Lemon has
been brought to a full appreciation of
this stern and indisputable fact
Mrs Lemon No. ,, the gay and festive,
played her little part, but early yesterday
morning secured carriage and is now
in parts unknown.
For why?
Because Mrs. Lemon No. /, a gentle
matron of some forty summers or somers
thereabouts, came upon the scene at Bur
Iington with a banker for blood and a
desire for gore.
All hah-Te-he,
From afar she has scented mouse as
big as an elephant, and she came
She registered from Cincinnati and she
located her husband in Raleigh He was
arrested and held, and an officer from
Burlington passed through the city at 2
O'Clock this morning to carry back to the
bosom of ore of his families the elegant,
but wilted man of starch, Colonel vii
