Sulphume!

The curative properties Of
sulphur have been known for
ages, but owing to the crude
ness of the drug, it's use to a
greater or less degree has
been restricted. The leading
chemists of the world have
labored for years endeavoring
to liquify sulphur in order that
suffering humanity might be
benefited. By the aid of
electricity this grave obstacle
has been overcome.

the name sulphur, and gene

has no equal.

AN EYEWITNESS SAYS NAY.

Editor Star:-The advertiser of the
Goth inst. contained a thrilling account
of n gallant rescue of a youthful maid
en- from the unknown depts of a Hotel
street sewer. 1t related how, while
sweetly trilling her morning song of
gladness, the maiden fell into the sink,
and how, in answer to her mufiled
cries for help the modern hero rushed
to her rescue, pausing at the brink but
for a moment to cost one last longing
look to Heaven, and with Farewell,
vain earth" upon his lips, he plunged
bravely in, and with the applause of
the assembled multitude ringing in his
ears, rescued her and laid her at her
mothers feet upon the shore.
Yesterday mornings edition relates
the tragic sequel in the death of the
young girl from the shock. 1t is al
ways unfortunate to injure a good
story by ringing in cold facts, but 1
feel compelled to in this instance. In
the minds of those who saw her after
wards there could be no doubt but
that the girl fell in, for lie was wet,
very, very wet. There was also a
young man in the case who reached
over the edge and pulled her out, but
the tragic sequel is not, and the young
girl walks the streets today in an eX-
pansive smile an, brand new gown.

this life last night at IL o'clock, aged
about 80 years. The interment was
made in the family burying ground this
evening al 3 o'clock in the presence of

man of high esteem and was liked by
all who knew aim. He leaves a father

mise.

THE G. f. & w Railway.
Judge Simonton's Order Setting June 9th
as the Date for a Rehearing in the Fore
closure Proceedings-The Reason for
This Stem.

This Step.
The Messenger yesterday made men,
ton of the fact that on petition of the
attorneys for the New York bond
holders committee, Judge Simonton, of
the United States circuit court, had
opened the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley foreclosure proceedings for a
rehearing at Asheyille, N. c., on Wed
nesday, June 9th. This act on the part
of Judge Simonton was pOn the petit
ton of the law firm Of Seward, Guthrie,
New York b~ondholders' committee.
After citing the status Of the foreclo-
sure proceedings before Judge Simon
ton, the petitioners in their brief say:
That on or about the second day OF
April, 1897, this cour made and filed
its decree directing that said property
should be sold only as a whole, and
fixing the percentages in which the
said respective series of bonds should
share in the proceeds thereof from the
expert testimony above mentioned.
You petitioners further show that
subsequent to said hearing, but before
the decision of the court thereon was
rendered, an act was attempted to be
passed by the legislature of the state
Of North Carolina concerning the sale
of railroads under foreclosure. That
1T appears from the opinion Of the
court, filed upon the entry of said de-
cree, that but for the passage of said
alleged act Of the legislature Of the
state of North Carolina, the conten-
ton of your petitioners would have
prevailed, and the court would have di-
rected the sale of the property of said
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway
Company, both as an entirety and by
divisions as urged by your petitioners.
but that the court was of opinion that
said alleged act tended to defeat thai
course of proceeding in regard to said
sale, which but for said act the court
would have deemed proper and that
the court therefore. by reason of said
alleged act, felt itself confined to a sale
of the property as a whole.
Your petitioners further show that as
your petitioners are advised by their
counsel, and verify believe, the said al
legged act Of the Legislature OF the state
Of North Carolina cannot and does not
affect the right OF you petitioners I'M
