DIED FROM INJURIES
Christian Splitter Died Last Night
from Injuries Received in the
Woods.
Was Dragging a Heavy Log and
Fell, the Timber Striking His
Head.
His Skull Fractured, and Death Re-
suited After Several Hours of
Unconsciousness.
(FrOm THURSDAYS Daily.)

-
Christian Splitter, the young man
who was injured by a falling log in
the woods southwest of the city yester-
day afternoon, died at the hospital last
night without regaining consciousness.
1t was first reported in the city by the
brother of the young man who came
10 the city from the scene OF the acct
dent that the young man had been in
stantly killed. A party went out from
the city to bring in the body but was
unable to find it, until afterward an
uncle Of the deceased young man,
Charles Splitter, accompanied the
searchers and found the young man ly-
ing unconscious, near the scene of the
accident. He was still breathing faint
~, and was brought to Inc city at once
n taken to the hospital where efforts
were made to restore him to conscious
ness. but in vain and he died a few
hours after having been brought there.
Details of the accident are given by
Carl Splitter, brother Of the deceased
young man, who was with him at the
time of the accident. The two young
men We're cutting and loading wood
about a mile south of the river landing
on this side Of the river. They were
cutting logs and dragging them across
a slough of ice. Christian had al
ready hauled one log across, dragging
on end or the ice and beAring the Other
end on his shoulder. On the second
trip. he Slipped someway on the ICE
and fell, and the heavy log, about tel
inches in diameter al the larger enc
and about twelve feet long, fell ant
struck him on the head. Blood gushet
from his mouth and he lay unconscious
his brother thinking he had been killed
. outright. The brother carried tn
body off the ice and then started 70
the city. In his excitement it wa
difficult at first to get an intelligen
account of what had happened.
The deceased young man lived in til
city at the home of his father. Ludwi'
Splitter. on Twelfth street. He cam
to this country from Odessa, Russia
about Il year ago. He was married il
the city last spring and leaves a youn
wife to mourn his untimely and sa'
taking off. There We're four brother
in the city.
An examination of the injuries sus
tanned by the young man showed tina
the bone of the skull had been crushe
by the fail of the heavy timber upo
it. While the exposure after the ii
jury might have hastened the end, til
doctors state the injury precluded an
possibility of recovery.

crisp, cool and eXhilirating. Through
the streets there was occasionally he

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-A Tribune spe-

1t is clear that General Butler will

sition to reopen hostilities in a week or

ROTTEN SAUSAGE GROUND
OVER AND PUT on SALE
EVIDENCE AGAINST JOHN W. WEATHERS
COMPLETE.
He vi Have Hearing Before The Mayor To
Morrow Morning. Another Case May
Be Made Out Against Him For
Selling Rotten Beef.

1t has been said that the man who
will knowingly endanger the life and
health of his fellowman. with poisoned
food, for the sake of few dollars gain
is at once a murderer and a thief.
OF these Eagans. Raleigh has ha1
has one too many.
Last night one week ago Mooney
Perry. a half-witted colored boy, was
found on the street selling spoiled beef.
The matter was reported to the police
and Perry was arrested. He said he
was selling the meat for John w.
Weathers. a white man who keeps a
stall in the market Weathers Perry
said. was to give him half of the pro
ceeds of all he Sold This Weathers
st0utly denied before the mayor, and
there being no other witnesses the case
was dismissed This is one link in the
chain.
Every Sunday Keeper of the Market
McRary has been going around inspect
ing the refrigerators of all The dealf rs
in meat. Last Sunday when he made
his inspection he found a new kind OF
lock on Weathers' refrigerator, and VAS
unable to get into it. Monday mornin.
when Weathers arrived he asked him to
open the refrigerator. He did SO and
Mr.. McRary found spoiled beef in it.
Another link in the chain.
Yesterday morning Mr.. McRary
found at the stall of a negro who grinds
sausage some spoiled sausage. Capt.
IL H.,
these facts. says the fetid odor "as
very pronounced and there We're mayors
in the meat.
On being questioned as to what he was
doing with such meat the negro sai'!
Mr.. Weathers had brought it, to him
to have it ground over and stuffed.
that he had furnished a lot Of salt, pep
er4and4 sage fo go in it to kill the odor
and disguise the taste.
Weathers however. being interrog-
ated, not in the presence of the negro.
said he had given the sausage to him
to feed to his hogs: that he had not
ordered it ground up, as he tWeathersD
knew it was spoiled.
And Just here Mr.. McRary did a
clever piece of detective work. lie
quietly told the negro to go ahead and
do Just as Weathers had ordered and
deliver him the sausage stuffed as he
had directed. The negro did so and
Weathers Immediately put it on sale
At McRary's instance another negro
went up and bought pound of it. and
then the case was complete. Mr.. Nc
Rary seized the whole stock and took
it to the mayors office, greatly to the
discomfort of all persons in the room
with good noses.
Weathers will be arraigned before the
Mayor today. If these statements
made by the police are true. he should
not only have the maximum fine i'm
posed npon him. but he. or any other
man found guilty Of such crime
should be forever barred from doing
business in the city's public market.
Such conduct cannot be too strongly
condemned or too severely punished.
