James Coffin colorcd. a ground line
man employed by the Southern Bell

day morning about II o'clock by an cleo
trict current.
Although the rain was coming down in
torrents, the telephone company had
their force of lmemen ont repairing the
damages TO their wires resulting from thc
recent sleet storm The force with which
Coffin was working was composed of
Inspector Il. NJ. Lewis and Lineman Jno.
Shields. Inspector Lewis was not pres
ent when the accident occurred, having
just few minutes before the accident
left for the office of the telephone com
pany.
The men were working on the Blomt
street wires Lincman Shields was on a
pole on one side of Newbern avenue and
Coffin was ON the east side of Blount
street just a short distance from the
north side of Newborn avenue. Coffin
had a large coil of wire on his arm, and
was playing it off with the other hand.
Lineman Shields was pulling the wire
to its place when the slack of the tele
phone wire. which was being drawn over
an electric light wire of the Raleigh
Electric Company. which wire ran dag
onally across the street The insulation
of the electric light wire WAS either de-
fectivc or was cut by the telephone wire
heing drawn across it. The contact with
the bare wire sent the current down the
telephone Wire and Coffin received the
full benefit Of the current. 200 volts. lie
fell TO the ground with n scream. Mr..
Shields descended from his position on
the pole. but instead of trying to rcnder
assistance. ran M to the office of the
company for Mr.. Lewis In front of the
office he met Mr. John AIangum. the
city electrician, 10 whom he told tho ac-
cident. Mr.. Mangum ran TO the scene
and cut the wire loose from the
unfortunate man. He did NIL
he could to try and rcsuscitate Coffin.
but without avail; too much time had
elapsed. Mr. Mangum stated that he
felt SIRE il the wire had been promptly
cut. the man could have been saved.

1t is pleasing toaknow that the ladies
of the North Carolina Monumental As
ISOLATION will have charge of the Infan-
try Booth at the Confederate Bazaar.
This organization in the State has done
more to perpetuate the deeds OF the
North Carolinians than any other After
unveiling the Confederate Monument in
Raleigh they turned their thoughts to
our dead at Winchester and last year
headstones were placed over them and
in the fall beautiful monument will be
unveiled in Winchester Cemetery. y
very handsome scroll is being gotten ont
by this association for the Confederate
museum in Richmond on which will be
inscribed the heroism Of North CAROLYN
ians from the first open revolt against tho
taxation of the British Parliament in
1865 to the first martyr from the United
States given up his life in the Cuban
cause
The ladies of this association are work

L. OBJ. Branch Camp Confederate
Veterans met in the Mayors office last
night.
Arrangements relative to preparations
for the Confederate bazaar were made.
1t was decided TO hold Il Confederate
concert on the opening night of the
bazaar. to which an admission fee of %
cents is to be charged for adults and Il
charge of ten cents for children. No
charge will be made for the remainder
of the week.
Mr.. Il. II. Bradley was elected treas
urcr Of the camp.
4 letter was read from Mrs. T.. r..
Broadenax, ivce regent of the North
Carolina room of the Confederate Me-
mortal Literary Sociey at Richmond for
the preservation of Confederate records
and relics. in which she stated that the
Society has just baught u handsome re-
volving case with twenty seven leaves
for pictures of distinguished North Caro-
linians. and asks that the camp furnish
these pictures.
The camp decided to forward the pie
lures desired, and appointed the following
committee for that purpose: Messrs. T..
II. Busbee j. G. Ellington and Col. W.
j. Saunders.
Inc constitution of the camp prohibits
political and religious discussions. BY
an oversight a resolution was passed at
the last meeting endorsing political
candidate This was entirely irregular
and should never have been done.
Commander Stronach spoke about this
point and said hereafter this provision
Of the constitution would be strictly en-
forced. He furthermore stated that Il
member introducing a resolution of this
character forfeited his membership.

AND ABBOTT AND NICHOLS
WE'RE TO FALL UPON HIM.
He FEARED THE GREEKS BRINGING GIFTS
And Vengeance Was Deferred for Another
Season--Now Everybody Explains How
Harmless the Caucus Was
Meant 10 Be.

The Republican caucus last night was
DERBY and serene that it did not even
create a swirl about the key-hole of the
Senate chamber door. And it had
meant to be so gay and warm.
Governor Russell who had been OK
pected to grace the occasion sent his
regrets.
Zeb Vance Walser, who was under
stood to the laboring under a burden of
song. took the afternoon train for his
home in Lexington.
The Rev. Father Abbott, who was
reputed to be carrying extra weight on
the safety valve, instead OF loosing the
dogs of war regretfully submitted Il few
paternal remarks.
Marshall Mott was present and talked
Il little, but his remarks were disap-
pointingly free from even remote refer
ences to ..stripel skunks'' or other malo-
dorous quadrupeds.
John Nichols also joined in the CONVEX
sation, but there was a melancholy,
might-have-bee cadence in his ursine
growl that would have brought tears
had let him in.
In fact the caucus, as a Republican
caucus, was dead failure. The floor
was not Uttered with stripes of cloth
ing and character when it adjourned
The watchers lost interest early and be-
gan to leave
His Excellency had been invited to
be present at the caucus. He was to
he cajoled into speaking, and then the
fun was to begin. The slight but
waspish Father Abbott was to annoy the
elemy's flank, while the sturdy Nichols
made a deadly onslaught. All the pent
up rage of two years was to be let loose
upon the Governor. The plan of battle
was complete.
But the fly did not walk into the par
Tor. He had been to Republican eaucuses
before. He feared the too cordial SEEM
ing ON the surface of things. Why. rea-
soned His Excellency, do the Greeks
come gift-laden, all at once? And SO he
stayed away and the fun was delayed
in transmission.
After the caucus adjourned there was
plenty of explanations for the absence of
the Governor. A letter was even pre-
pared and given out for publication tell
ing all about why His Excellency was
not the guest of the evening The caucus
had been anxious to listen to words of
advice. The Governor had been invited
to come along with other distinguished
gentlemen, to give it. 1t had been in
tended that some steps should be taken
to determine on a policy for the minority
members. But the Governor had sent
word that he could not be present for
reasons. The caucus therefore had been
sort OF social reunion, nothing more.
There was no decision as to what the
party will do III reference to the meas
ures, so intimately effecting the interests
of its great voting strength, which are
to be passed on by this Legislature.
But through all the explanations there
was the dull CLEAN of disappointment of
the sort the small boy feels when the
circus fails to come, after all. Cover
nor-baiting is pastime to prick the
faded palate of even the veteran of
many Republican caucuses and conven-
tions. 1T would have been almost re-
