WOODLAND ACADEMY.
The Entertainment Given Friaay
Night a Prominent Success.

The entertainment given at
Woodland Academy last Friday
night, under the direction of Miss
DOME Rich, the popular and tai
ented young school teacher, as
sisted by a number of young la
dies and gentlemen Of the commu-
nifty, came off as foretold in these
columns.
The programme was an elabo-
rate one, consisting of dialogues,
recitations, etc.. interspersed here
and there with musical selections,
both vocal and instrumental,
which lent a charm that blended
admirably with the sunny dispo-
sitions and smiling countenances
of the fair young ladies, as they
gracefully performed their several
parts. and which also inspired the
young men who so CALAMITY as
sisted to excel themselves.
A pleasing feature was the
string band from the Mt. Olive
section, which discoursed sweet
music for the occasion, and who
won oft>repeated applause from
the audience.
There was not a dull moment
from the rising of the curtain on
the first act, till its fall at The
close.
Quite a large number from this
city were in attendance and all
expressed themselves as highly
pleased both with the entertain
ment and the many ~courtesies ac-
corded them by the genial people
of that community.
The following is a partial list of
the participants.
Misses Laura Moore, BERTHE
Moore, Nellie, McCown, Lollie
Lewis, Ethel Smith, Pearl Wood
ard, Hettie and Rosie Herring,
Irene Hatch Moore and little Ma
bel Edgerton.
Messrs. Mllfred Edgerton,
Robert Edwards, Lonnie Rich,
Lonnie Lewis. Masters George
r. Smith, Ernest Smith, Frank
McCown, Ralph Moore, Walter
Moore, John Hollowell, Robert
Collier, Herbert Lewis, George
Smith, Willie Hood and Earle Da-
Wis.
Every one performed his or her
part so nicely that it would be I'm
fair to make special mention of
any one, therefore, we can only
add that the entertainment in its
entirety was a brilliant success
and both Miss Rich and all the
participants are to be congratulate
ed for the pleasing manner in
which the entertainment was car
ried out.

Fremont Letter.

DEAR ARGUs:-Some days ago
the quiet of our little town was
disturbed when it was found in
the early morning that thieves
had broken into the store Of Vel
verton Bros. and had stolen lot
of goods, just how much we have
not heard. An effort was made
to trace them but did not prove
successful. Last year a like rob-
berry was committed on the same
firm and in a similar way. En-
trance being made through a
front window, exit through a
back door. The parties escaped
then, and no doubt came again
and made a second successful
raid. What a pity such rascals
can not be brought to justice!
Several of our citizens took
advantage of the cheap rates, and
went North last week, enjoyed a
little outing and combined bus
ness with pleasure by selecting
goods for the spring trad !.
Among them was Mr.. j. R.
Short, one of our most progress
i've merchants, and Miss Laura
Speight who has charge of his
millinery department., and who
expects to delight her lady
friends by a love of an Easter
bonnet.
If the weather was as fine in
Washington as in Fremont on
the fourth, the McKinleyites
may have counted it a good
omen. No doubt the Inaugural
ton was witnessed by many
thousands.
We condemn Sunday trains but
they must serve a good purpose
when they bring some certain
young gentlemen to Fremont to
church (?). especially as church
privileges r not many in Colds
boro and Rocky Mount.
We miss from his place ofbus>
mess Mr.. w. M. Barnes, who
has been confined to his room for
some days by sickness. His
friends hope to see him out soon.
DR.. Swindell delivered in Ere /.
mont on Sunday evening. one of
the finest, most convincing SER
mons on missionary work. as a
part of christian duty, that it has
ever been our privilege to hear.
We hope to hear him again.
Rev. A S Barnes is al home.
from Youngsville, on a visit of a
few days. There is no place like
home. BEE.

Dear Argus-Miss Carrie Ham
of your city, came up Saturday

which prevailed last week we
were forcibly reminded that the
time was near at hand for the in
Irritable u. M. H." to come
forth with his spring poetry.
which is always looked for with
much interest by ARGUS read
ers.
A trained nurse came down
from Raleigh last week to nurse
Elder J.. T. Edgerton, whose
condition, his many friends
throughout the county will lie
glad to learn, is better at this
writing.
At the last meeting of our
Board of town commissioners,
Mr.. Sam Hinnant was elected
Policeman to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mr..

THREE AT RIVERS BOTTOM.
Two Steamers in Collision on North River
Last Evening.

New York, September 15.-The big
Hudson river steamboat Catskill, of the
night line and the still larger excursion
boat St. Johns, came into collision at
$50 O'Clock tonight on the North river off
SO street, this city. The St. Johns was
returning from a day trip up the river
and had fully one thousand excursionists
on board, and the other boat had started
on it's regular night trip with about thir-
ty passengers. AS result of the smash
up, the Catskill is now wreck on the
New Jersey shore at Weehawken, one of
her passengers is q patient at the Roose-
vslt hospital and three others are said to
be in the wreck at the bottom of the riv-
er. The St. Johns was damaged, but
none OF her passengers or crew was hurt
The collision was due to a misunder-
standing of the signals which were passed
between the TWO vessels. The crash ex-
tinguished the lights on the Catskill and
caused panic among the passengers,
some dropping overheard through fear.
Small boats from the st. Johns rescued
the people who were struggling in the
water. just as the Catskill neared the
shore it filled with water and went down.
Leonard P. Miller, 66 years old OF Ho-
boken, N. j., who was taken from the
water had his right leg fractured. He
said that before being rescured, a small
boy, who was in the water near him had
been drowned. A young woman who
became hysterical at the dock, foot of
West 59th street, said that she believed
that she had lost two friends on board the
Catskill. These were Mrs. Maria McDon-
aid, 75 years old, and the latter's daugh-
ter, Susan Morris, 46 years of age, of
Guttenburg, N. j. Mostlof the excur-
sionists were from Pennsylvania

A coWARDLY LYNcHING.
Five Prisoners Held for Burglary Taken
From Jail and Hung.

Louisville, KY, September ia spec.
ial to the Evening Post from Osgood,
Ind, says:
Incensed by numerous depredations re.
peated burglaries and daylight robberies,
the people of Ripley county, Indiana,
have taken the law in their own hands
and meted out to the perpetrators pun
ishnent greater than provided by the
law
Five men who have long been terror
to the citizens Of this county, were
lynched last night and when the citizens
of Versailles, the county seat, arose this
morning they found the bodies of five
men dangling from as many limbs of an
elm tree in the centre of the public
square. The men were Lyle Levi, Bert
Andrews, Clifford Gordon, William Jen-
kins and Hiney Shuler.
Their bodies were but few feet from
the round, while their hands and feet
had been securely tied with strong rope.
On Saturday, the gang were arrested
after hot fight with the sheriff. The
latter was severely wounded. All were
taken to the Jail at Versailles. Henry
Shuler was put in the jail for robbing a
barber shop at Osgood, last week. Levi
was 25 years of age, Gordon 20 and An
drews 81 and jenkins "a.
While the citizens have not been able to
fix the various robberies upon these men
they were thought to be part of gang

it became known that they were in Jail.

patizers that justice be summarily dealt

horsemen seemed to come from all quar-
ters and dismounted on q hill side neal
Versailles. Little time was lost for the
details had been prearranged. Quietly
about four hundred men marched into
the town where the jail was in charge OF
VIM. Kenan, Sheriff Bushings, brother
count of his injury. The jail proper /:
the residence and in that were Actine
Jailer Kenan and Robert Barnett, VIM
Block and Len Wenzel, deputies. Shortly
before two o. clock there was knock al
the door. When Kenan and others opened
the door they were presented to pistols
held by three masked men and asked tc
turn over the keys. This they did and
then the mob filed into the jail. Levi
Jenkins and Shuler showed fight, and
the former was shot through the breast,
while the skulls of the latter were crushed
with blow. They were not carried out
but with several men at the end of each
rope, the five prisoners were dragged a
distance of two hundred feet to an elm
tree where their bodies were suspended.
1t is said that Levi, Jenkings and Shutter
were dead before they reached the place.
None of the cities seemed to deplore the
action of the mos, but on the contrary
