DROWNED NEAR WHINING
TON.
Miss Kate S. Cause Meets
Death in Greenfield Mill Pond.

Miss Katie S. Cause, a highly
esteemed lady of Wilmington,
n. c., and a daughter of the late
S. 2. Cause, was drowned Tues
day afternoon at 6 o'clock, at
Greenfield mill pond, one and a
half miles from Wilmington.
Miss Cause, with a party of
children, had gone for an after
noon stroll to the country, and
at the time of the terrible acci>
dent was some distance behind
the children, she having retraced
her steps to spot near the bank
where she said she had left her
purse. Just how tie accident
occurred, will never be known,
as the children soon after her
d parture, heard a splash in the
water, which is at this point
about IS feet deep, and were
startled to find Miss Cause strug-
CLING between life and death in
the water. She was 81 years OF
age and lived with her sisters
in law, Mrs. Cumming and Mrs,
Alice Young. She has been for
some time employed as sten>
ographer in one of the leading
hardware stores in the city, but
was forced to resign a few days
ago on account of failing health.
She was very popular and the
community mourns her loss.

He Tore up His Stills.

Winston, N. c., October I3-
During a revival in Davis county
E. D. c. Pope was converted. He
was owner of a Government dis
tillery, and Immediately after
his conversion he went to the
distillery and tore the stills from
the furnace and destroyed what
beer or mash there was i'll the
tubs. What Whiskey was OH
hand was in the Government
warehouse, and he had no right
to trouble that without stamping
it. He will have to account to
the Government for the beer as
though he had converted it in
to whiskey, and this will cost
him about $22.

MADE A TRADE OF
WIVES,
Each Liked the Others
Spouse Better Than His
Own.

Jacob Latchaw, foreman in
Balliet's ore bed, near Hofnans>
vile, Lehigh county, Pa, and
! William Heberley, laborer in
the same mine, have created a
stir among their neighbors by
swapping wives. Heberley's
wife is a rather good looking
woman of 2S, and for some
months past foreman Latchaw
had been her ardent admirer.
Heberly, On the other hand, be-
came infatuated with the charms
of Latchaw's wife, who, while
not as handsome as his own bet
ter half, is just the kind Of
woman that sizes up to Heber-
ley's tastes.
Latchaw and Heberley have,
it is alleged, been frequent call
ers upon each others wives, but
it was not until recent,ys that
the husbands made the discov-
cry. Saturday the two men
met, and each accused the other
of being too familiar with his
wife.
"See here, Heberley," said
LatchaW, "I1l tell you what
we'll do, let's swap wives"
agreed" answered Heber-
ley, and right then and there
the bargain was made.
The women were consulted
and the proposition was agreed
to. Latchaw is the father Of
seven children, and Heberiey,
who had only one child, objec-
ted to having a whole family
unloaded on him. There was a
hitch in the bargain, but the
obstacle was finally surmounted
by Heberley taking one of Lat
chaw's offspring, he transferring
his own child to the Latchaw
family. The husbands at once
moved their effects to their new
homes.
At night calathumpian band
serenaded both parties. Heber>
ley, however, objected to being
thus honored, and fired several
shots at the serenaders, who
scattered.

Stole $4,000.

While Mr.. Elisha bradshaw,
of Colerine Was down in the
town at one of the stores and
Mrs. Bradshaw and child were
at church, some one broke into
their dwelling and carried off a
trunk containing mortgages,
notes, a watch, jewelry, and be-
tween 800 and $4,000 in cash.
The trunk, watch, mortgage,
etc, were found however near
the house but the money was
missing. 1t is the impression of
many that the burglary was COM
mitted by some one familiar with
the interior of the house as the
felon entered in a window, step>
ped by Or over trunk, passed
two or three more and picking
up Mr.. Bradshaw's private one
off with it. 1t is probable that
the guilty parties will be caught.

TWIXT Fire
and WATER.
A Steamboat Burned on Long
Island Sound.
NUMBER OF LIVES LOST
Fire Broke out at S o'clock
In the Morning and
Spread Rapidly,

Several persons met death
cary Saturday morning by
drowning or flames in the de.
struction of the steam boat Nat
meg State, of the Bridgepo1
Line off Sands Point, at the
mouth Of Long Island Sound.
About 5 o'clock i'll the morn
ing, when off Sands Point light,
Long Island Sound, fire broke
out around the smokestack and
spread with such rapidity that
the captain was compelled to
beach her on Sands Point,
where she burned to the waters
edge. When the fire was dis
covered all the passengers were
aroused, ard they rushed from
their staterooms half clad. Some
of them jumped overheard,
clinging to life p1eservers.
Twenty five of them got into
one of the steam boats boats,
which capsized. They clung to
it until picked up. The officers
and crew controlled the other
passengers until the City of
Lawrence, the tug William
Reed and the yacht Kisnet
came to the rescue. Four meu
were penned in the forecastle
and could not be eXtriCated. So
far as known, the vessel had
about sixty passengers. She
was laden With hundreds Of
tons Of freight, and in the cargo
were thousands Of cartridges,
which later added their explos =
ions to the uproar on the burn
ing vessel.
According to the story of the
captain, the fire started around
the smokestack on the lower
deck. How it started the cap
tain did not attempt to explain.
1t took only a few minutes for
him to find that the fire could
not be controlled. He ordered
that all passengers be aroused,
and headed the boat in toward
shore.
The scene that followed the
awakening of the passengers
was one Of mad terror. Some
few Of the passengers took time
to diess hastily, while others of
them rushed half clad 10 the
deck. On the instant of reach>
ing the deck a few of the terri
fed men and women, as they
saw the flames curling through
the deck, tore life preservers
loose from their fastenings and
jumped overheard.
An early effort was made to
lower the steamboats, small
boats and life RATS. AS the first
boat swung overheard, crowded d,
some man cut the fall and the
boat overturned. The capsized
passengers fought their way to
the boat, to which they clung
until rescued by the City of Law
rence. The boats RATS were
lowered as rapidly as possible
after the first misadventure
These were soon filled.
Before all the passengers and
crew had been taken to the
pilot boat City of Lawrence
heard signals of distress sounded
by the Nutmeg States whistle
and headed at once for the
burning steamboat. Not long
long after the steamboat had
reached the scene the tug Will
liam Reed came to the rescue
with the steam yacht Kismet.
