The man who makes a visit UP the
Wilmington and Weldon railroad these
days and doesn't bring fresh corrobo-
ration OF the story of Kinsaul's resus-
citation after the hanging at Clinton
several weeks ago, is immediately put
down as one recreant to his duty and
altogether disappointing.
One man who saw the execution mt
clinton came down yesterday and said
the story of reSuscitation was all
"bosh;" another said he saw the eX-
ecution. and as soon as the murderer
was cut down he was hurried away
and placed In an adjoining room by
physicians and friends; he even went
so far as to say that they took the
coffin and ran With it. Still another
man said that soon after the execution
l<insauls' wife was seen by him in
iHchmond; he know il was she for
he contributed to the fund which she
was raising here for attorneys fees
for her husband. And thus the story
goes.
y party of lawyers We're discussing
the matter night before last of wheth-
or Kinsauls could be hanged again in
the event he had really been snatched
from death after being pronounced
dead by the physicians called in by
the county officially. There was diff
ference of opinion. 1T would be Il
nice point at law" one of them said,
"nnd | would advise kinsauls to re-
main i'm Richmond or go further, If
he is really on earth yet"

FACTORY

AN ACC1DENI TO a TOBACCO
FACTORY.
Greenville, N. c.. Oct. 16.-Late Sat
urday afternoon three floors in the leaf
tobacco factory of Roberts & Ficklcn
Tell in. 1t was caused by the floors
not being able to sustain the heavy
weight of the immense stock of tohac
co they had on hand The lower ooor
was only about two feet above the
ground so that the floors could not fail
lar, and possibly this prevented n to-
tai collapse of the building. There
were about 200 hands at work in the
building at the tire. but fortunately
not one of them was Injured in nny
way. all succeeding in getting out
safely.
This is the third accident to tho
same building. When It was being
built and the frame of five stories was
up. q hard wind RACED 1t to the
ground. A few years later it was
badly damaged by a storm ard came
nee: beng ruined. Now three DC the
ioors have fallen through and the en-
tire structure twisted out of shape.
1t Is believed the house will have to be
torn down and rebuilt.
