VESSEL AND WHALE IN A CRASH.
A Lumber-Laden Schooner Almost
Wrecked Off Cape Hatteras.
PhiLndelnhin RecnrH


The schooner Etna put into the Delaware
BTeakwater, yesterday. leaking, as a res-'lt
of a most remarkable accident, having run
across monster sperm whale off Cape
HatteraS. The vessel was bound from
Jacksonville, Fla, 10 New York, with a
cargo OF lumber. She was beating up the
coast at lively speed on Tuesday hast.
and when off Hattcras was suddenly stopped
with shock that sent III hands taggering
about the deck, and subsequently caused
the schooner 10 roll violently.
None OF the crew knew at first what the
big submerged object was with which the
Etna had col!ided, ana CONSERVATION reigned
for Il time. Capt. Craft and his men in-
vestigated, with the keenest possible inter.
est. for they knew the vessel was in very
deep water, and couldn't conceive what
object under the surface of the sea could
have caused shock so severe. There was
no grating OF the keel, as there would have
been had the vessel struck bottom or run
across a submerged derelict but within
minute after the collision had occurred the
cause of the mysterious trouble was made
manifest.
Pecring over the side of the vessel, the
captain and crew saw n big sperm whale
spouting blood and water. This was the
hidden monster the Etna had struck, and
the collision appeared to have been as
disastrous TO the whale q to the schooner.
The sailors believe that the king of fish
was asleep when the vessel struck him,
but he was certainly very wide awake as he
floundercd about under the vessel immcdi-
ately aftcrward.
Shortly after the collision occurred the
vessel began TO fill rapidly. having sprung
a leak when she struck the whale. All
hands were at once called to man the pumps
and save the Etna from becoming water
logged. The men were barely able to
keep even with the influx of water, and
could not have done SO had the cargo been
less buoyant.
A survey of the vessel was made at the
capes, and she was ordered to await tenn
porary repairs. and then proceed at once
TO her destination, where permanent re-
pairs VIII be made.

The Physicians Advice.

A good story is being told on one of
Louisville's most prominent homeopathic
physicians. Several days ago a young
woman called at his office. and after dis
coursing on all the topics of interest of
the day. settled down to tell him her all
ments. Among other things, she said she
was greatly annoyed with sinking feel
ing. The physician prepared a little bottle
of pills and gave them to her, with minute
directions as to how they should be taken.
The woman again began to talk, and
after many vain efforts to get her out she
started for the door. She had just opened
it. when she turned and said: ''Oh, doctor,
what shall l do if these pills do not cure
me?' Take the cnrkI' he retorted; they
tell me that's good for a sinking feeling
and he called the next patient into his
private office.-Louisvile Post.

Miss Victoria Harris.

The new Franklinton Baptist church
was filled to overlooking yesterday to
witness the marriage of Mr. Arthur
II. ID. Johnson, of this city, to Miss
Victoria Harris, of Franklinton.
The church had been handsomely dec
Grated with palms, ferns, evergreens and
profusion of ehrysanthemums and
roses.
1t was II o'clock when the organ, mt
which Miss Fannie Green presided, gave
forth the sweet notes Of Mendelssohn's
wedding march, and the party entered as
follows: The ushers, Mr.. l.. A. Myers, Of
this city. and Mr.. w. A. Massenburg,
Of Oxford, entering the left aisle and Mr..
j. :. Robertson, of Franklinton, and Mr..
Joseph It. Watson, of this city. the right
aisle, met at the front and formed on
either side Of the altar. They were fol-
lowed by Master r. n. Hicks, Jr., and
little Miss Louise Reed, the one bearing
a large bunch OF chrysanthemums, the
other n neat basket of violets Following
them came the bride, with her cousin,
Miss Hannah Scott, of Franklinton, who
was maid of honor, They were met at
the altar by the groom with his brother,
Mr.. c. \. johnson, of this city, who was
best man. Then while the organ played
in subdued tones, Rev. William Royal,
of Wake Forest, pronounced the beaut-
full but simple ceremony which made
them man and wife.
immediately after the ceremony the
party were driven to the station where,
amid showers of rice and good wishes
from friends, they boarded the north
bound train for trip to New York.
Quite a number of young people accom-
panied them to Henderson, where they
took dinner at the Massenburg House,
after which the bride and groom pro-
ceeded on their way north, the others
returning on the southbound train.
The bride was attired in a handsome
.going-away" gown Of brown cloth,
trimmed with velvet and silk, and car
ried a large boquet Of Marched Neil roses,
tied with ribbon, the maid Of honor ear
ried a large boquet of ia France" roses,
tied with pink ribbon.

of the firm of johnson & johnson, and a
| son Of our townsman, Mr. u. 7. Johnson.
Miss Harris is an attractive and ac-
| complished young lady of Franklinton,
and has host of friends. These, and
also those at Wake Forest and Raleigh,

her and her popular young husband.
May their welded life be as bright and
as beautiful as was the day on which
| they were married.
The happy couple were the recipients
af a large number OF beautiful and val
liable presents.
This was the first occasion on which
the new church had been used, and on
all sides could be heard complimentary
remarks concerning it. 1t is said to be
one Of the handsomest town churches
| in the State, and is quite a credit TO the
good Baptist people Of FrankIinton, and
an ornament TO the town.
Among those who attended from Raj
eigh were, Mr.. and Mrs. ID. T. Johnson,
Mr. J J. Thomas, Miss Evelyn Thomas,
Mrs John s. Johnson, Misses Gertrude
and Emma Johnson. Sue and May Tim

The Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege is certainly fortunate in securing SO
competent an officer for it's PrOfessorship
of Military Science as Capt. J. G. Gresh-
am, OF the 7th cavalry. Capt. Gresham
is now with his regiment in New Mexico,
but will shortly report here for duty.
AS rule no higher officer than Lieu
tenants are detailed for college duty.
Capt Gresham is a native of Virginia,
and is a man OF about forty years of
age. Before going to West Point, ne.
we think, graduated at the University of
Virginia.
Lieutenant Barnes, who has filled the
professorship so well since Lieutenant
Henderson was here, will continue with
the college as Professor of Physics and

THE PoPUL1srs NOT PLEDGED.
TheCaucasian Speaks Out Again on the
Senatorial Question.

Senatorial Question.
The Caucasian pitches into the Senate
rorial question this week with gloves Off
1t tells the Democrats TO keep their
mouths shut-that the Populists want no
free advice-and then proceeds to do
Pritchard up in great style. 1t says that
his sudden and unexpected conversion
from silver TO the gold standard was not
a real change OF opinion, but came about
because he feared the gold men and be
cause they had promised to help re-cicet
him IL he would cspouse their cause
The Caucasian further accuses Pritch-
ard OF lodging the money issue during
the campaign, and adds:
1T is noticeable that he made very
few speeches during the last campaign,
and that he could not be gotten to speak
whore he would likely have a large Pop
ulist audience.
I'VE repudiate the charge that any
populist member OF the Legislature is
pledged to vote FOR a goldbug Senator.
If anyone is pledged, who got the pledge,
then? We challenge the man who holds
such pledges to give the name of a single
member so pledged.
1.-THE Caucasian wants to go on record
again as saying that we do not believe
there is any foundation for any such
absurd claim. In fact, we denounce it
as false
There never was time when it was
more important for people to be certain
where n man stands before they send
him to the Senate than now. We have
no fear that any Populist will vote to
send n goldbug or "A monopohst to the
United States Senate.
"These boasts are an insult to the PEG
pies party.
IF there is any doubt about where
any candidate stands let him be required
to make pledge like Zeb. Vance made. -
