DEATH OF MR.. THOS. PEOPLES.
He Was a Brave Confederate and
Democrat of the Straitest Sect.

News reached Raleigh yesterday of
the death of Mr.. NJ. T. III. Peoples at
his home, four miles east of Raleigh, in
his 66th year. He had been feeble some
time. He was in his room upstairs in
bed, and when a colored woman en-
ployed by him went up to his room he
was found dead. Nobody witnessed his
death, for it was very sudden.
Mr.. Peoples was a brave Confederate
soldier, member of the Seventh Louisi-
ana regiment, Company G, and partici-
pated in fortytwo battles. He was a
true Confederate and loved the memory
of his old commanders and Jefferson
Davis. He was a Democrat of ''the
straitest sect" and was always to be
seen in Raleigh at great Democratic
gatherings. He was well posted and was
known to many politicians of the State.
He rarely came to Raleigh without call
ing at the News and Observer office to
talk politics. He never wavered in his
devotion to his party or his faith that it
would triumph of all his foes.
He leaves a wife and three sons. The
funeral will take place from Samaria
church, four miles east of Raleigh, this
at ten o'clock.

His Wife is at Rex Hospital and is Rest
ing Very Comfortably.
The funeral of Albert Watson was
held yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock
from the Tabernacle Baptist church. II
was a particularly sad funeral, and
quite number of the friends of the
unfortunate man were present. Services
were conducted by the pastor, Rev. DR.
Simms. The interment was in Oakwood
cemetery.
Mrs. Watson rested very well at the
and is doing much better than her physi-
clan had expected. He vitality is some
thing wonderful.
The nature of the wound is not yet
exactly known, aS her condition has not
been such. since she received it. as to
permit of an examination or probing for
the bullet.
She is perfectly conscious all the time,
though very sore and paralyzed from her
waist down. From this there is now
little or no hope that she will ever re-
cover, though she may live for many
years
The paralysis came on Immediately af-
ter the shot. This proves that it was
not caused by blood clot. In that case
the paralysis would have come on grad
ually. But as the paralysis was stimuli
taneous with the wound it must have
been caused by the ball cutting the
spinal cord, or driving bone against it..
or itself lodging against it. In either
OF the two latter cases the cause can be
removed anu she may get well.
AS soon as it can be done an examina-
ton will be made and the exact cause of
the paralysis determined
