Property Not Great Streets Flooded.
Two Deaths Frcm Breksa Electric Wires
Norfolk. Va. October ss.-The heavy
northeaster developed early last night
into a fullfiedged hurricane, which has.
however, done less damage tn shipping

damage vas not great. n~otwithstand-
ing the high tides that interrupted
street car traffic and injured goods
stored on low wharves. The water got
into the lime house OF Carnage & Wal
Ter. Plume street. 4 / O'Clock this
erai barrels of lime and a serious con-
migration was narrowly averted- In
the Stakes warehouse, Brambleton
ward. fire started among lime. No one
could reach the fire alarm box on ac-
count OF the water, SO ar improvised
fire brigade was formed, who after a
lard fight. extinguished the flames.
Two men met death by electricity
during the storm. Claud Young, color
ed. employed by G.. S. Briggs. was
handling a telephone in the Office.
The wires must have been crossed with
a live wire. Tor when Young grasped
h lever, thus forming a circuit, he
dropped to the floor dead Another
negro named Hearn vas at Queen and
Smith streets and saw a parted wire
in the street. He thought it harmless
and picked n end up with his right
hand. when 1000 volts of electricity
hot through him and he fell. his left
foot striking the other end. completing
the circuit and he was killed.
There have been nc wrecks. but the
tug Luckenbach. while towing the

The s~chooner's crew were rescued. In
many streets down town the water was
knee deep. In the neighborhood Of the

Over the Assault on Miss Cole Unabated.
Two Negroes SusP cted of the Crime
Taken There Under Military Guard-To
be Taken Before Miss Cole Today

Especial to The Messenger.)
Rockingham. N. c., October 25.-At 5
o'clock p. IN. today John Reid, the
banjo picker" arrested at Maxton
last Saturday at Don, and John Flake,
arrested at Monroe Saturday night, for
committing a rape upon the person of
Miss Lille Cole, were brought to Rock
ingham under escort of the Maxton
Guards on a Seaboard special. They
were Immediately marched to the resi-
dence of Mr.. F. L. Cole, and each taken
before MISS Lille and her sisters.
They could not positively identify eth
err, but they were not able to acquit
them, and the sheriff has both in Jail
under guard of the military company
and will AXE them before the ladies
tomorrow.
The town is full of people from the
factories, the surrounding country,
Hamlet, Laurinburg and MaXtOn, and,
while there is no visible demonstration,
there is still a spirit of unrest and dis
satisfaction among the people. -
The bringing Of the prisoners in
charge of a military company is quite
CALLING to many Of the people and
deemed wholly unnecessary, and Gov
ernor Russell has received no common
dation therefor.
Many censure Sheriff Smith for what
they considered a vexatious and I'M
necessary delay in bringing his pris-
oners to a speedy examination, but be
has seemed sincere and no doubt ex-
ercised his best judgment in the mat
ter. This responsibility could be ap-
preciated only by himself.
Let us hope that the morning will
bring no further trouble, at least until
one of the prisoners shall be identified.
The ladies were too much agitated by
the strong martial display and large
crowd of spectators to act SATISFACTORY
ly to themselves in so important a
matter. It will be remembered that on
Saturday three different parties were
taken before these ladies and they
promptly acquitted ZACH one. Today
/ they are not decided as to these par
| ties.
