BUNcoED OUT OF $4,000.
New York Paper Recites Adventures
of Butte Man.

The venerable old trick of the money
box and the vanishing money was work.
ed Charles Guignon in the Tenderdloin
yesterday, and now he's out Sc, 00O, his
whole savings, to say nothing of his $500
gold watch.
He came to this country from Belgium
ten years ago and settled in Butte. Mont.
He went into the real estate business and
a month ago found that he was worth S.
600 and a little more, free and clear. He
gather together his money and decided to
go to the Paris exposition to spend it. He
arrived in this city last Thursday, got his
draft for $4,000 cashed in bills ranging
from $50 to $500, put the money in a belt,
which he wore next to his skin, and then
rented a room at 12S West Twenty-ninth
street.
Guignon decided that the sights of New
York We're well worth seeing and he set
Saturday neXt as the date of his sailing
for Paris. In the meantime he went out
to see New York. In one of the Tender
loin saloons he met Etienne Kerdadeck,
who talked French to him.. They met
again on the following night and then
the third night, and then Kerdadeck sug-
geStted to GuignOn that he come and live
with him and Mrs. Kerdadeck and thu
save room rent. Guignon accepted the in
v~itation and went to ia West Fortieth
street, where Kerdadeck introduced to
him a pretty young woman as Mrs. Ker-
dadeck.
On Tuesday, Kerdadeck showed to
Guignon a black box which he said con-
tanned $50, 900 that his father, a wealthy
Frenchman, had entrusted to him to
spend on the poor Frenchmen in the city.
He asked Guignon If he didn't care to
contribute to this charitable work and
Guignon said that he didn't. This did not
cause any rupture, blu it mad Guignon
think a little and that day he spent the
daytime looking for a safety deposit vault
where he could put his money for safe
keeping. For some reason he could not
find one that satisfied him, and he men

Yesterday, Kerdadeck and Guignon went

What is that watch worth?' asked

PROGRESS AT LOUIsBURG.
Building an Iron Bridge Across the Tar. Two
Churches Being Erected.

Especial to the News and Observer 4,
Louisburg, Nov. Franklin county has
set an example for all the counties in
the State. She is building bridge across
Tar River, which will cost several thous-
and dollars. The bridge will be five hun
dred feet long, of iron. No wood will be
used about it except the flooring. The
old wooden bridge furnishes the pillars,
which are of solid stone masonry. These
pillars will be raised four feet seven
inches higher which will raise them en-
tirely above high water mark The
bridge runs out of the main street into
the new part of the town, which is grow
ing up on the south side of the river.
So it is the connecting link between the
old and new town.
Louisburg is beautifully situated in the
two opposite hills on the two sides of
the river. The hills and prominences
everywhere present beautiful building
lots, and especially those on which the
two academies are placed. The female
school is now a college. These places are
unsurpassed for beauty and convenience.
They stand opposite each other on the
main street-formerly at the head of
the street, but now midway the northern
half of the town. l think there is no such
bridge in the State as this will be- unless
it be a railroad bridge, and not many of
them. Franklin for century has been
dormant. She allowed Warren and Gran
vile to monopolize all the honors. War
rem held the Congressman as a matter
of right, and at one time she held the
Congressman and both the Senator's At
this time Warren has two members of
the House of Representatives in the Leg
islature, to Franklin's one; but under the
new opportionment the case will be re-
versed; just as it will between Virginia
and North Carolina. The new opportuni-
ties will give us a majority of Congress
men.
Louisburg is making remarkable pro-
gress. The business done here is extra
ordinary The wagons and carts that
come in daily and hourly, loaded with to-
bacco and cotton is something astonish-
ing There are not less than fifteen great
warehouses here for the reception and
manufacture of these articles; one of
them is three hundred feet long, and the
others are one to two hundred feet long
and three to four stories high The
stores are large. They have two mills
fer picking and packing cotton one pro-
PEELED by steam, the other by water. The
water mill is for grinding corn and
wheat and for saving lumber, of which
a good deal is needed here
The Episcopal and Baptist denomina-
tons are building handsome churches
here. The Baptist church is of pressed
brick, and is large, for the town. The
Episcopal edifice is of wood, but very
neat The Methodists built a handsome
brick church last year. | notice improve

NEVER TOO LATE
To Try a Good Thing.

l am fifty-two years old and for forty
years of that time l have been chronic
catarrh sufferer says Mr.. James Gieshing
of Allegheny City; with every change OF
weather my head and throat would be
stuffed up with catarrhal mucus.
| could not breathe naturally through
the nostrils for months together and much
of the time l suffered from catarrh of the
stomach. Finally my hearing began to
fail and l realized something must be
done.
/ tried inhalers and sprays and sa,ves
which gave me temporary relief and my
physician advised me to spray or douche
with Peroxide of Hydrogen. But the ca
tarrh would speedily return in a few
days and 1 became thoroughly discour-
aged
| had always been prejudiced against
patent medicines, but as everything else
had failed l felt justified in at least max
ing a trial.
Our good old family physician, DR..
Ramsdell laughed at me a little, but said
if 1 was determined to try patent medi-
cine's he would advise me to begin with
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because he knew
what they contained and he had heard
from their use, and furthermore that
they were perfectly safe containing no
cocaine or opiates.
The next day l bought a fifty cent box
at a drug store, carried it in my pocket
and four or five times day I would take
a tablet in less than week l felt a
marked improvement which continued
until at this time l am entirely free from
any trace of cataarh.
My head is clear, my throat free from
irritation, my hearing is as good as it
ever was and l feel that l cannot say
enough in praise of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets.
These tablets contain extract Of Euca-
lyptus bark, Guaiacol blood root and
other valuable anti-s eptics combined in
pleasant tablet form. and it is safe to
say that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
far superior in convenience, safety and
effectiveness to the antiquated treatment
by inhalers, sprays and douches.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
in the United States and Canada

e. Hatcher, d. D., of Richmond, closed
last night a meeting of extraordinary
power. He came at the invitation of the
pastor Rev. j. w. Lynch and President
Taylor, and began his work October 29th.
A large number of reclamations and of
conversions, the majority of them among
the college students, are the visible fruit
of the special meetings. Dr. Hatcher is
one of the ablest men in the Southern
Baptist pulpit, and possesses rare COM
bination of az lities that win the affection

At the Salisbury Cotton Mill Saturday
morning was witnessed one of the most
glorious of scenes.
In the spinning room of the mill some
one began talking salvation to a friend.
Others took up the work and soon the
machinery of the entire room was stand

sinners were being converted, Christians
strengthened, and a general good time
was had.
Persons who witnessed the scene never
saw anything like it before
The desire to attend the tabernacle was
so great among the employees that the
mill closed down this morning at O'Clock
for the day to enable all to attend the
morning and evening services.
