ROCKVILLE.

Henry Doyle, farmer living on Tol- land road, met with a serious accident Saturday morning. He was coming up Brooklyn street with a business wagon loaded with grain. When short dis tance from Market street his horse be- came frightened at the cars and ran and turned over the team at the corner of Market and Brooklyn streets, throwing Mir. Doyle out. He struck on his head on the paving stones. He was taken home in hack, and did not regain conscious until sometime after. A doctor was sum- moned, and no serious result is expected.
 The town meeting called by the select men for last Saturday, to see if the town would appoint committee to make a re-valuation of the property, was attended by 150 voters. After a much spirited discussion 1t was voted that a committee of 25, including five each of farmers householders, merchants, manufacturers and owners of business blocks, be chosen, and that each interest represented select one person to represent them on the ad- visory committee; that the report of this committee be submitted to the board of assessors as basis for the valuation of the property of the town. The meeting adjourned until next Saturday at 2 p. m., when the various committees will report and compensation be provided for the service of the advisory committee. This meeting is the result of the long agitation over the tax assessment. Congressman B. s. Henry and other large property owners have for years opposed the present tax system which has assessed property of the actual value of $15, 100000 at $3,- 100000. The last board of assessor raised the property of the manufacturers and wealthy citizens $318, 1000. The manu- lecturers made vigorous protest, and the board of relief acted in their interest and reduced the lists to the old figures. This action created a great commotion and was severlv criticised

THE WEATHER STILL WARM.
And There is no Sign of Any Continued
Break in the Sizzle

Yesterday was a very warm day,
though the thermometer only registered
81 at the Weather Bureau. There was
very little breeze after II o'clock and
the dampness of the atmosphere made it
sitting and oppressive.
The record of the thermometer at the
Weather Bureau was as follows: s O'clock
80, 10 o'clock So, II o'clock 80, 2 o'clock
90, 4 o'clock a. o'clock, 90.
Conditions are favorable to continual
ton of this sort of weather for some
time, with thunderstorms in the after
noon.
The weather continues unusually warm
and generally fair throughout the entire
country. A low pressure area of con-
siderable depth has developed in the ex-
IRENE northwest, with a barometer of
1882 at Bismarck. The pressure is still
high over the Gulf. These conditions
favor the continuation of warm southerly
winds. Light local showers have oc-
CURED during the past "a hours at a few
western and eastern points. Scattered
areas of cloudy weather exist in the
south and from the East Lake region to
the Atlantic coast. The line of 80 de-
grees at 8 a. m. passes as far north as
Kansas City.

year shall be in proportion to the life
or duration of property or parts of prop
erty yielding same To illustrate: If a
road 100 miles long shall in one year
lay 20 miles of 20 pound steel rail, the
life of same being 20 years, only five
miles Shall be charged to operating ex-
penses unless some other department of
improvements shall be less than the ma
tural wear and tear of said road"
The valuation of the railroads now is
S26,OOO,O0O. If Mr.. Wilson's resolution
is adhered to it would increase the valua-
ton to over fifty million dollars.
In the case touching the Castor depot,
it was ordered that the Raleigh and Gas
ton Railroad be allowed to change the de-
pot as proposed, but it shall not take up
or discontinue the present road by Gas
ton; that a daily passenger train each
way shall be run by CASTOR and a
freight train three times a week for
twelve months from this day If, at the
end of this time it shall appear that the
business of Castor does not justify the
running of these trains by CASTOR, then
it shall be matter of review by the
Commission.
The Murfreesboro Railroad Company
petitiOned to the Commission asking that
it be allowed to take up it's track and
sell it. The petition was granted.
Attorneys in the Purvis depot dispute
tried to agree as to the facts in the case,
as an appeal has been taken. But they
failed to do so and the Commission made
out the case for them.

A BAR-KEEPER IN TROUBLE.
He Brought Another Mans Wife Will
Him to Raleigh.

The unlawful love of A. G.. Hales and
Mrs. Sallie Underwood has gotten them
into serious trouble. They are both mar
ried people, but they seem to be fOnder
of one another than of their lawful and
welded partners in life.
At any rate some months ago they left
their homes in Moore county-the one
his wife and children and the other her
husband and children--and came to Raj
eigh to live. They resided in a house on
Hargett street, not far from the Taber-
nacle, as man and wife, it is said.
But recently their bliss has been inter
rupted, by ugly stories and talk of prose-
cution. Then they discovered-this
guilty pair-that the climate hereabOuts
was not good for their health, and so
they broke up housekeeping and Thurs
day morning they were to go away to u
more congenial locality. But before train
time they were arrested, and taken before
the Mayor.
On the man the police found a gun.
SO this charge also was entered up
against him. On both charges, however,
examination was waived, and on the first
charge both Hales and Mrs. Underwood
were required to give bonds of $75 each
for their appearance at the July term of
court. For carrying concealed weapons
Hale's bond was fixed at $50. The cash
was put up in each case and the parties
were set free.
Hales has been keeping a bar here on
Fayetteville street. He is from Moore
county, as is also Mrs. Underwood, whose
maiden name is said to have been Blue.
She is a good-looking woman.
