DON'T LET LOOSE.

you have a thing, hold to it.
Don't let loose.
If you have credit at the g1o-
cery-hold to it. Don't let loose.
If you have an ambition which
is laudable, hold to it, and don't
let loose.
If you have belief in a friend
and he is square-hold to him,
and don let loose.
And SO the story could be con-
tinued.
But more emphatic still should
be your resolution to not let loose
of the town which is sure to win.
Let loose of Your purse strings
But do not let loose of the
town which promises to grow
and expand and develop into
commercial greatness.
Edenton will be such towu-
and no man should let loose.
There is ample business going
on at this time to assure everv-
thing that one may wish; there
are ample enterprises under way
and more will be started and pro-
Jected and pushed to successful
termination.
Hold on.
DO not let loose of what is most
surely i'll sight and what most
surely must in short time make
a city and make you richer
man.
All is ours these days and moth.
ing need be done but little push
ing, little hurry--and that will
bring the desired end more quick
ly than the waiting process.
In business, in love, in war,
in life-in the upbuilding of our
town or city, you should remem-
Der this advice which will stand
the test:
Hold OH
Do not let loose.

er, committed suicide at Scots
dale, Pa, by throwing himself
In front of freight train. When
he lived i'll New Orleans several
years ago he incurred the enmity
OF the Malta and in fight stab
bed a mem Der of the society OF
assassins. Then he wandered
North, but they followed him
everywhere, and he returned to
his old home in Italy, where his
wife and family lived. He had
been there but a short time be-
fore his enemies discovered him
and he sailed for this country
again. His landing in New
York was noted by the Maha
there and he sought safety i'll the
coal region of Western Pennsyl-
vania. About a month ago he
obtained employment upon the
construction of a sewer at Scots
dale. He told the story of his
persecution to some of his fellow
workmen, who were Americans
and said he would never run
away from the Malta again. They
were incredulous and questioned
some Italians upon the subject
Their doing SO was fatal to Orf.

Malta letter, warming him tc
leave the coke region or suffer
immediate death. He preferred
to take his own life.

A FATAL DUE

In Covington, Ky, last week.
Senator w. P. Goebel shot and
instantly killed John L. Sanford,
cashier of the Farmers and
Traders bank, of that city. The
two men had been political and
business enemies for years. Both
men are prominent citizens of
Covington. Goebel is a lawyer
and at present State Senator
from Kenton county. He is one
of the best known politicians in
the State.
Accounts Of the detail of the
tragedy differ. One is TO the eff
feet that at I:5o o'clock this af-
ternoon Goebel was coming out
of the First National bank when
he met Sanford, who drew re-
volver and fred, the bullet strik-
ing Goebel III the shoulder. The
latte: pulled his pistol and shot
three times in quick succession
all three taking effect and caus
ing almost instant death. Goebe.
then gave himself up.
The homicide grows out Of {
business and political feud of sew
eral years standing and was no
a surprise. Both were from
among Kentucky's best known
men, being leaders in politics
business and society. 1t has ere
ated a State sensation, while 10
cally the greatest eXcltemen
prevails, as a continuation of the
ill-felling that made the 1nurde,
possible is certain to result II
more bloodshed.

THE WHOLE TRAIN BURN-
ED UP.

At 4:3o Saturday morning iast
as the through freight on the
Atlantic Coast Line, was between
Sumter. S. c., and Denmark, ,.
c the axle of all oil tank car
broke and it is thought, knock
cd = hole in the tank. The tank
was filled with kerosine oil, and
it spilled along the track and by
some means ignited. In a few
seconds the flames flashed along
the entire length OF the traln'
and although the trains ere"
fought desperately to stay the
confederation, the tank car ana
fifteen loaded box cars contain
ing dry goods, groceries ana
other kinds of freight were burn
ed as they stood on the track
Several of the trains crew were
badlv but not seriously burned
,rhev succeeded i'll saving only
four cars out of the whole train
the one next to the engine, and
three at the rear of the train.
The loss will fall heavily on
the railroad company, but 1t Is
;,nnossible to ascertain as yet
what it will be. The cause o.

A DAY AT THE FISHERY.

The annual trip to the fishery
on Easter Monday by our people
was never more pleasant than
this year. Early in the morn>
ing wagon loads of jolly young
people were on the road and by
noon the beach was crowded to
see the seine come in.
This was one Of the largest
hauls of the season, and to the
visitors, wonderful sight.
After lunch and a delightful
time rowing, sailing and roam
ing over the beach, they set out
for home, everyone voting it a
most enjoyable day.

THE FATE OF A FOOL.
A YOUNG FRESHMAN JUMPS FROM
THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE
AND IS KILLED.

A young man, supposed to be
James Duffy, native of county
Craven ireland, jumped from the
Brooklyn bridge Friday after
noon about $50 o'clock and was
drowned.
From what can be learned the
act was but a case of bravado, he
having declared that he had al
ready jumped from Waterloo
bridge i'll London and from the
high bridge at Newcastle on
Tyne, and wished to add this feat
to his former exploits Duffy
according to Patrollnan Donnel-
ly, who happened to be standing
near the place where the man
jumped, which he considered the
highest part of the structure,
emerged from the crowd on the
promenade at the objective point
and swung himself up to the
board walk over the tracts, from
which an iron ladder leads down
to the roadway. A moment later
Donnelly saw Duffy run across
the roadway aud climb upon the
railing that separated it from the
outer cable which helps to sup
port the central span.
All of Donnelly's efforts to
stop the man from his intentions
were of no avail. Duffy, balanc-
ing himself upon the cable, threw
off his coat and sprang out into
the air. In his descent he turn
| ed over and over several times.
One looker-on said that he saw
Dufy's body make four somer-
saults before it struck the water
He did not come to the surface
afterwards.
Duffy stood in Park Row nea1
the bridge entrance early this af
ternoon, and announced that he
was about to jump from the
bridge at its highest point. He
asked half dozen different mer
to go along and see him jump a:
he wanted to have witnesses te
prove that he had really made
| the leap.

resulting in great damage to life
and property. Buildings were
demolished in various cities of

At Fiune the audience in the
Players Theatre had just risen

first shock came. All crowded
nadly to the exits. Many per-

vessel i'll the harbor without sev-
eral Fiuune families on board
who are afraid to return to land.
During the panic in Trieste a
frightened horse ran down a

several boats earring persons to
the shipping were capsized. Six
persons were drowned. Slight

Two hundred tons of go pound stee
rails have arrived for the Los Angeles
Traction Company, and are now being
unloaded at the Santa Fe depot.
On the Sd of last August the corpora
ton was granted a fanchise to operate an
electric road from the Santa Fe depot
along Third street to Hill, to Fifth, to
Olive, to Eighth, to Pearl to Eleventh,
to Georgia Bell, to Sixteenth, to Bush and
along Freeman to the city limits.
According tc the franchise the road has
to be in running order by August 18th
and only five months remain to construct
the eight and one-half miles of single
track.
W. 5. Hook is the manager and principal
owner of the company. He owns live
miles of electric road in Jacksonville, ILL.,,
and is one of the most competent rail-
road men in the country. He believes
in giving the public perfect service
over the line and sufficient numb Der OF
cars will be run to accumulate the pub
lie.
The cars will be much larger than those
used on the University line, and the seats
will be placed crossways. n glass bulk
head will separate the motorman from the
passengers and also serve to break the
wind from the latter.
Mr.. Hook said that if the weather is
favorable the road will be in perfect run
ming order long before August. He would
not either affirm or deny the report that
lea. 1t is claimed by many that it will,
but others state that nothing definite will
be decided on until the harbor question
