saved a Boy From Drowning

Yesterday morning at 1880 o'clock
while Mr.. Antoine Swain, who is in
charge of the city carts, was at the
foot of Grace street, he bravely res
cued a boy from drowning. A white
boy named Willie Brown, from Pender
county, came down to the city a few
days & with some parties who
brought a fiat load of wood to market.
While stepping to the fiat he fell n t
the river and was swept under the fiat
by the tide. Mr.. Swain was near by
when the boy fell between the wharf
and fiat and he bravely jumped into
the river, with his clothes on, and
dived under the fiat and pulled the boy
out. The little fellow was under water
some minutes and when he was pulled
out life was almost extinct. He was
rolled and about two quarts of water
ran from his mouth and nostrils. He
was rubbed vigorously and finally re-
gained consciousness through the eff
forts of Mr.. Swain and others who as
sisted him.

Their apartments are OF the second

windows that the little boy fell to the
pavement below, a distance of about
20 feet. Exactly hat the extent Of

Mol, Good S%amitans, a colored order
of this city, was indicted in Justice
McGowan's court yesterday for embez-
element. The trial took place in the

a number of the brethren of the lodge.
The secretary Of the lodge, Purcell
Mclean, testified hat he turned over
to the accused, Wright Johnson, $53.Ol

in his accounts. This statement was
borne out in different ways by about
ten other witnesses.
Johnson claimed hat the money was
stolen from him and that he so told
different members of the lodge. He
aIso stated that he intended to replace
the lost funds.
The defendant then offered to trans
fer to the lodge his household effects
in payment for the money This prop
osition was accepted, and the prosecu-
ton withdrawn and Johnson allowed

CASE 0F


A case of smallpox was discovered
in the city yesterday, and every pre-
caution has been taken by the health
department to keep the disease from
spreading. The victim is Mr. L. w.
warrock, a nephew of Mr.. w. s. War
rock, at whose house h is now con-
fined, on the east side Of Second street,
between Ann and Nun.
Nj. Warrock is a fiagman on the
Atlantic Coast Line, and has been
running or the line between Rocky
Mount n Florence. Tuesday night he
arrived here sick, and went immedi-
ately to his uncle's home. Yesterday
morning a physician was called in to
attend him, and at once diagnosed the
case as smallpox. DIR. w. D. McMil-
Ian, superintendent Of health, was no.
titled, and he and Drs. A. H. Harriss
and G. P. Wertenbaker made an exam
ination Of young Warrock, and also
pronounced the case smallpox.
A strict quarantine was at once es-
tablished at the house, and DR.. McMil-
Ian personally yaccinated all persons
who had come in contact with the pa
ftcnt and quarantined them. The quar-
antine of the house was placed in the
hands OF Captain Robert Green, cnlei
quarantine officer, and he placed OFF,
GERS on duty to allow no one, except
the physician, to enter or leave the
house,
Special Officer Winner will be sta
toned at the house during the day and
Special Officer Chilean at night.
Mr.. L. w. Warrock is we'll known
here and is a printer by profession. He
evidently contracted the dreaded dis
ease while passing through the small
pox infected localities.

The Passionate of the First Presbyterian
Church of Washington city

Washington, March 9.-Rev. DR.. De-
Witt Talmage, who for nearly four
years has been the pastor OF the First
Presbyterian church OF this city, today
sent a letter 10 the session OF thai
church rendering his resignation. The
explanation made in the letter is as
follows:
The increasing demands made upon
me by religious journalism and the
continuous calls for more general work
in the cities have of late years caused
frequent interruption Of my pastoral
work. 1t is not right that this condi-
ton of affairs should further continue.
Beside this, il is desirable that I have
more opportunity to meet face to face
in religious assemblage those in this
country and other countries 10 whom /
have, through the kindness OF the
printing press, been permitted to preach
week by week and without the excep-
ton Of a week, for about thirty years.
Therefore, very reluctantly, l nave
concluded, after serving you nearly
four years in the pastoral relation, 70
send this letter of resignation"
1t is the intention of DR.. Talmage to
continue his residence in thi city. He
will devote most Of his time to literary
pursuits,

YOUNG HEBREW INSANE
For the second Time i'm a Fortnight >.
Rosenthal,s Sanity Ii Passed Upon

Yesterday for the second time in two
weeks S. Rosenthal, the young Hebrew
who until recently kept a furniture
store on Dock street, near Front, was
tried for lunacy by a commission.
Before the young man was adjudged
sane, but this time the judgment was
reversed and in both instances expert
testimony was considered.
The investigation took place yester-
day morning in Justice McGowan's
court, and the commission de lunatico
inquirendo consisted of DR.. w. D. Nc
MILAN, superintendent of health, and
Justices Fowler and MCGOWAN. Her
bert McClammy, Esq, appeared as
counsel for Rosenthal, and A. j. Mar
shall, Esq, conducted the case for the
other side.
The testimony showed plainly that
Rosenthal is of unsound mind, n
then the opinions Of two experts, DR..
IVY. J. H. Bellamy and DR.. A. H. Har-
riss, set at resi- all doubts in the matter
So the commission ordered the young
merchant sent to the asylum at Raj
eigh.
Rosenthal's mind is affected in many
WAYS. His case is a sad n indeed,
especially as he is a young man of
good business ability and conducted
his furniture store in this city very
successfully, until his mind became
impaired.
