ANOTHER CONVERT.
Chairman Gregory Leaves the Repub-
lican Party.

John t. Gregory, the most influen-
tial Republican in Halifax county,
has severed his connection with that
party. He was the very head of the
party in this county, and like the
knell of doom fell the following letter
into the Republican camp. Its infu-
ence will be felt all over the State:
"HALIFAX, n. c., Oct. %, 1892.
"Messrs. Whit Hardy, J. H. Harmon,
MacM. Ferguson, and other Mem
berS of the Executive Committee of
the Republican Party of Halifax
County:
DEAR SIRS Il hereby tender ten
der my resignation as chairman of
your committee, and respectfully re-
quest that it be accepted at once.
81 have this day, after mature
thought, research, and study, severed
my connection with the Republican
party, and will not longer advocate,
support, or maintain it's principles,
but expect in the future to support,
maintain, and defend the principles
of the National Jeffersonian Democ-
racy as laid down, embodied, and
enunciated in the platform and prin-
ciples of the Democratic party. Am
actuated in taking this step, because
| am led to believe that the tendency
of the Republican party-Once nation
al, powerful and greats dwindling
down into Capitalization and section
aliSm, arraying one section of the
country against the other in bitter
strife, thereby causing to spring up in
the breast of the citizen spirit of
antagonism and bad feeling, which is
at once repugnant and should be con-
demned and diScountenanced by every
electOr-whatever his political faith
having the welfare of his country at
heart.
''And further, because / believe the
perpetuity and welfare of our free in
stitutionS will be safer and in better
keeping when under the control and
guidance of the national Democracy
than with any other party in the
country. This conclusion is inevita-
BILE when we recall the reckless and
revolutionary policy of the late House
OF Representatives. For my part, j
am quite content and ready to follow
the illustrious example of such noble
patriots and statesmen as Judge Ores.
ham, Judge Cooley, and Wayne Mac
Veagh, and / believe thousands OF
thoughtful men all over the country
who have heretofore belonged and
acted with the Republican party, will
do the same.
Respectfully submitted.
Signed ''JOHN T. GREGORY"
This virtually leaves the party in
this county without leader, and it is
expected that many others will desert
the old sinking ship.

Italian Twins.

Benjamin Rose returned on Friday
from Richmond, where he has been
taking in the Virginia Exposition.
He says the greatest attraction there
is the Italian twins, photograph OF
whom he brought home with him They
are more wonderful than the Simese
twins. Each has a head, two arms
but only one foot. They are eighteen
years of age and highly educated. One
speaks French and the other German.
They can stand alone but cannot walk.
Both have good health.

Ohio.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. pa special
from Lima, Ohio, says: Yesterday
morning the nitroglycerne factory,
twenty-seven miles south Of this city,

ing The farmhouse of VIM. Hooker.
1,S00 yards from the scene, was totally
wrecked and servant girl injured by
the falling debris. A great gaping
hole marks the spot. where the maga-
zine stood. The cause of the eXplo-
sion is a mystery, but it supposed that
the glycerine was in some manner set
on fire. A So, 900 plate glass front in
the Metropolitan Bank, fully three
miles from the scene, was shattered.

F. ON the Raleigh Visitor. ]

At the synod of the Presbyterian
church recently held at Statesville, a
scheme of the most noble character
finally decided upon. 1t is the estab-
lishment of the high school at the old
site of the Bingham school near Me-
bane. The property has been leased,
a board of trustees and a principal
elected, and the school will probably

Reported That Commissioner Becker
dite Has Been Called to New York.

The latest report out is that Esquire
Beckerdite, United States Commits
sioner during elections, has received a
summons from Dave Martin to hurry
to New York for the purpose of in
timidating registrars and voters. It
is said the Squire is considering the
call seriously. He has fears, howey-
er, that should he leave here Boss
Stanton might get left, therefore, it
is reasonable to suppose that the new
Commissioner will remain where
he is.

News

The Fairhaven and New Whatcom
Steet Railway Company broke its
bloodless record yesterday by an acci-
dent in which one man sustained "a
broken wrist and one or two Others
were considerably bruised and
scratched. Car No. "a, in charge of
Conductor Bernard and Motorman Car
penter, which left Fairhaven about 0
o'clock a. M, became unmanagcable in
passing down Garden street, and flew
the track at the foot of the grade at the
corner Of Laurel street, in front of
Judge Winn's residence. Judge George
Rice, Attorney w. f. Hughes, Frank
Tholc, G.. V. Alexander and Oswald
Kaden, Of Eairhaven, and Architect
Geo. n. Taylor and +. NJ. Kohler and
two ladies and two children were
among the passengers in the car and
on the platforms. Mr.. Hughes states
that he thought the car was going too
fast soon after starting down the hill
from opposite Edward Cosgroye's resi-
dencc, and before the bottom Of the
hill was reached the car had attained a
momentum that frightened the pas
sengers. Mr.. Thole says that the mo-
torman did not attempt To set the
brakes until the ear was within $50 feet
of the curve, at the corner of Laurel
street. The car weighs 1900 pounds,
and of course it was impossible to check
the speed in that distance, and when
tine curve was reached the car left the
track and plunged straight ahead about
100 feet. Fortunately it remained right
side up, and those remaining inside
were uninjured.
+. NJ. Kohler, blacksmith living in
York addition, New Whatcom, was on
the rear platform and jumped the car
when it left the track, and received a
colleis fracture of the arm. Architect
Taylor, Frank Thole, and Oswald
Kaden, also jumped and were severely
bruised, but sustained no broken
bones. Mr.. Kohler was taken to DIR.
Birney's Office where his injur-
les were treated. The car was
uninjured and was soon replaced on
the track.
