h shoulder.
The train was stopped Immediately
and the conductor was picked up and
put on board, where some Of the pas
sengers and rain crew badhed his head
and face and famed him and did all
they could to relieve his sufferings. A

HIS CONDUCT INExPLIcABLE
Governor Russell Persistently Fails to
Act Upon acquisitions From South
Carolina for Fugitfves From Justice.
Does He Neglect His Official Duties.

The special correspondent OF the
Charleston News and Courier, under
date of August 9Th, telegraphs from
Columbia as follows
Governor Russell, republican, of
North Carolina. has persistently re-
fused TO honor acquisitions from Gov-
ernor insolvency for h return of
criminals to this state. No reason a
been given for such action, except that
the private secretary usually writes
hat the governor will investigate and
act. But he has never done 50, n
one clear case of a horse thief from
S~partanburg county has been 'investi-
| gated" for three or four months, and
yet nothing has been don about it.
In this case the man who lost a horse
n buggy, after n proper papers
were received from Governor McSwee-
ney, went to considerable trouble and
| expense to bring the criminal back to
this state and to justice. But Govern
or Russell has not yet done a thing
about it and it is Understood that the
criminal is out on bond which will
probably be the las heard of him.
There was another case from this
state which met the same fate. There
is still another and a requisition will
be sent on for the return of the crimi-
nal. Russell will be given another trial.
but from previous experience it is
doubtful whether any attention will be
paid to the requisition papers. The
conduct of the North Carolina govern
or is inexplicable, unless it be hat he
has been neglecting his duty and pay
ing more attention to politics han to
the gubernatorial office"
