LOVE AND CORN CURE.
Both Were Bitter and the Lat ter May
Prove Fatal.

Both Were Bitter and the Latter May
Prove Fatal.
Albert Bauman was much and hope
lessly in love. The young woman's heart
was callous, wherefore he swallowed
corn cure and became very sick.
Bauman is % years old and is em-
ployed in department store in New
York. For three years he has boarded
with Mrs. @. Reynolds, in West Tenth
street. A man occupying an adjoining
room heard groans about half past 10
O'Clock on recent night, and, upon in
yestigating, found Bauman in bed i'll
great pain. A policeman was called in,
and the young man was removed to st.
Vincent's hospital.
In his room was found a note, the en-
velope addressed to Mrs. Reynolds. 1t
read as follows:
"No one but myself is to blame for
this act I have incurred the hatred OF
the one / loved, who was very dear to
me. Now l receive the penalty. May
heaven bless her and spare her for an
other world
This was neatly written and does not
refer to Mrs. Reynolds. She says so.
Bauman may possibly die from his dose
Of corn cure.

SLOW Military Movements.

In recent Bismarck interview in
the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna the old
chancellor recently ascribed Russia 3
failure to take Constantinople in her
war with Turkey to the slowness Of her
early military and naval movements
This failure in turn enabled the powers
to wrest away the fruits of Russia's be-
lated victories. This same criticism, ac-
cording to the Neue Freie Presse. ap-
plies to the Greek admiral's failure in
the present war to force the Dardanelles
and strike blow at the heart of the

Meggs. a young white man, whose case
has been reported in this correspondence
was convicted of perjury, and hned 20
and sentenced to two months hnpiiso'i
ment. He took an appeal TO the Cor
poration Court, and was baileu. Inc
charge of perjury was one of the out
growths Of Meggs's late connection WIN
the King Coffee Company OF this CITY
He was employed in making colleclions
for that house, and gave bond 10 secure

charged with being short In his ac-
counts. and the company sued to recover
from his bond, getting Judgment III
testifylng in that case Meggs swore that
he did not give a certain receipt WHICH
was held by Mr.. Robinson, one OF the
customers; wherehpon, Mr.. ROBINSON
charged him with perjury, OF which ne
was to-day convicted.
Meggs was also in the Corporation
Court to-day on the charge of contempt,
in that he tried TO induce Witness Ro-
binson not to appear in court against
him. He was found guilty OF the Oh
fence, and his punishment fixed at ten
DAYS in jail His counsel moved for

ONE OF THE THREE.
MIR. Andrew Siverson, Deputy Sheriff
of Norfolk county, went to his old home,
In Norway, last summer, TO visit his
parents, after an absence of more than
twenty years. A brother, living in South
Africa, took passage about the same time
on the Inflated ship Drummond Castle,
to meet his brother in the old home.
The Drummond Castle went down, with
her passengers and crew, only three per-
sons being saved out Of the total num-
Der on board; and. as no tidings were
received. the family, of course, gave
young Siverson up for lost letter
was received to-day from Norway, say
ing that the young man in question was
one of the three saved, and that he is
now back in South Africa. The Deputy
Sheriff last saw his brother when the
latter was years old.
UNSUITABLE SHOOTING.
The charge against Mr.. John r.
Simpson, of Norfolk county, of shooting
a negro, named Moses Bonny was in
vestigated by Justices Lopez and Lam
bert, i'm Huntersville, to-day, and the
accused was discharged, on the ground
that the shooting was justifiable Bonny
was trespassing on Mr.. Simpsons pro-
perty at the time. He was not much
hurt. The other trespass cases were
dismissed. This Is the case in which
many sensational reports regarding
feud existing between the Simpson bro
Tiers, who own adjoining farms, have
been sent out. The brothers are not on
good terms; but from the testimony
elected to-day, it appears Mr.. John
Simpson shot the negro because he was
a trespasser and not because he was an
employee of his brother.

NORTH CAROLINA RAILWAY.
The Bill Very Much Mathematician
eraI Raleigh Notes.

RALEIGH, n. c.. February 11.-(Spe-
cial.)-The bill to annul the lease of the
North Carolina railway was printed last
night, and was laid on the desks of
members of the Legislature to-day. II
has been greatly emasculated, so much
so that an extremely witty remark by
Representative McCrary Republican,
is very apropos. He said nothing is
left of the bill now save a reflection on
the Attorney-General." The fact is that
this very reflection cost the bill four
votes.
The good roads" idea seems to be
gaining some ground with the Legisla-
ture, as the resolution raising a commit
tee to visit and inspect the macadamized
roads in Mecklenburg county shows.
A Republican editor remarked yester-
day that Governor Russell had found his
position regarding the lease of the North
Carolina railway untenable and so
was forced TO take the back track; that
it was a daring thing, and an unusual
one. for the organ Of party to attack
a Governor within two weeks after his
Inauguration, but that il had been done,
and successfully done.
There is quite a good story told at
the expense of one of the Populist mem

nothing.

it will connect Aberdeen and Concord

now being organized in Boston and ar
rangements are being made with Pennsyl-

The Legislature will, within ten days,
be asked to charter cotton-mill at
