CRABS FoRETELL EARTHQUAKES.

For some time sprevious ITO the day
upon which the great earthquake of
August, 1857, occurred, great swarms
of crabs of an unknown variety were
seen in the Bay of Payta, Chilli. They
all appeared to be greatly excited, and
were literally climbing over each other
in their efforts to escape the impending
calamity. How they knew that the earth
quake was collecting its strength to desc
late the coast is more than man can say;
but that they knew something unusual
was about to happen, there is no doubt
whatever That there were millions of
them may be inferred from the report of
DR.. Forbes, who says that "ten days
after the earthquake the dead crabs were
thrown upon the beach in wall-like line
three to four feet wide along the..whole. ex-
tent of the bay VA

FORGERY.
W. J. Griffin is charged with
very serious crime.

VIM. J. Griffin, a young white
man who has resided here fol
about twelve months, was arrest
ed yesterday under v~ry serious
cfarge-that Of forgery.
1t seems that sometime i'll
December last Mr.. Wilkerson
manager for the Pease Lumber
Co. in this city, drew a check for
$500 in favor of Mr.. r. l..
Temple which he left OIL his Of
fee desk for Mr.. Temple. The
check disappeared before it
reached It's owner and its where
abouts were unknown until yes
terday when it was sent to the
Bank of Edenton by the Norfolk
Bank, for collection.
The check had been endorsed
showing the name of X. l.. Tenn
pie, followed by that Of ". J
Griffin and others.
The Bankers here having been
notified about the lost check
carried same, as soon as received,
to Mr.. Wilkerson, who at orc
discovered that some forgery had
been going Oh. He took check
to Mr.. Griffin, who was at work
at the mill, and asked if he could
give any explanation. Mr.. Grlf>
fin said: Il bought it from a
colorcd man at Okisco for 81. 50,
and if it is not alright | will
make it right with you, provided
you dom say anyt ing about it.
Nothing more was said until
about l o'clock when a warrant
was issued for his arrest-charg-
ing him with forgery. At $50
p. NJ. he was given a hearing by
Justice Thompson.
Mr.. Wilkerson testified that he
drew the check and left same at
Office for Temple. Check dis
appeared, and he knew nothing
of its whereabouts until to-day.
That Griffin was working for
him at the time check was lost.
Griffin told him he bought check
from colored man for $3.50 and
would make it alright if he said
nothing about it.
Temple testified that he had
been told Of the check but had
never seen it until to day.
Nir. Folk, Cashier Of the Bank
stated that t!c check came from
Norfolk to day, and that the sis>
nature was rot Mr.. Temple $, etc,

| THE KNITTING MILL.
WILL BE ERECTED HERE
BOOKS ARE NOW OPEN.
TIE BUSINESS MEN ARE RE
EOUESTED TO TAKE STOCK
IN THIS EFEDED EN-
TERPRISE

The knitting mill, mentioned
III these columns two weeks ago
will be erected in Edenton, ant
all those who would like to take
stock III same are requested t.
call at the law office Of Pruden
Eann, & Pruden, at which place
the list Of stock has been left fo1
signcrs. F-,ch share Of stock
will be 500, payable i'll small
monthly installnents.
Although enough stock to put
a mill in operation has been
subscribed, yet a fifty thousand
dollar factory is desired. 1t is
also the desire of the gentlemen
who have the matter in hand to
get every business man i'll the
city interested, and it is hoped
they will call at once and take
stock i'll this needed enterprise.
A knitting mill in Edentorl
means a great deal for our town
and people and we know of no
enterprise that could be estab-
lished here that would benefit
the town more than a mill OF
this kind. Our people i'll gener-
al would be glad to see the
factory i'll operation. 1t would
create a good, ready home
market for our farmers, and
would make flush financial times
with them and they would III
turn pass the cash Oh to Ou1
merchants for the things they
require
Tie factory would also give
employment to hundreds Of
hands, who otherwise will have
but little regular employment
and they also would have in
creased spending money which
the business men would get benz
eats from, and from these i,
would go on to the community
at large.
We must not rely too muci
on our natural resources anC
farming, trucking, fishing, anc
! numbering interests. These are
all COOL. But add to them diver
siticd manufacturing and the Il
sulting prosperity will be fell
not only in the city but Ill the
country around.
Let our business men nov
vuuc to the front and show thei,
public spirit and enterprise by
subscribing for stock IN t1l:
mill, and We will assure them
GOOD results-an increased pop
ulation and prosperity.
