City-A serious Cutting ARRAY.

Correspondence of the Messenger.)
G~oldsboro, N. c., October %.
Superior court did not close till about
10 p. m. Saturday, owing to the fact
that the jury was out in the cas- of
Murray Bullock, colored, against the
city of Goldsboro, asking 81, 900 dam
ages for a cut sustained on his nose
when he fell or was thrown out OF
Lehman's buggy. The jury decided
the accident was due to the negligence
of both Bullock and the city and did
not consider at all the issue of damage.
Bullock's attorney made a motion that
the verdict be set aside which motion
was overruled by Judge Robinson.
notice of appeal being given. IN the
case of Lehman VS.. the city which case
was decided in favor of the city, on
motion the verdict of the jury was set
aside. There were forty criminal and
thirteen civil cases disposed OF during
the term.
Constable Henry Grady, of this city,
was severely cut across the breast,
heal Seven Springs, on Saturday by Mr..
Levin Price. He was brought to the
city Saturday evening and his wounds
dressed by DR.. w. H. II. Cobb. The
chief wound was a CASH ABOUT elgtn
inches long and to the ribs across his
chest. Grady would likely have bled
to death but for the fact blood clotted
preventing steady flow from an artery
that was severed. The cutting was. 1t

taken to some remark made by Mr..
Grady intended as a joke, the same

A millinery firm in New York City has made a contract with persons in 6 certain county in Delaware for the bodies of F 900 birds; ten to fifty cents apiece are to be paid. The slaughter has commenced. Those birds are to be killed for feathers which will decorate women's hats. The partic- ular varieties specified in the agree ment include meadow larks, blue birds, English sparrows and baby owls. And all this slaughter of songsters in the es- thetic, refined, cultured and humane east. If this promiscuous killing of birds had occurred in the west we never would have heard the last of it. The sniffiing customer would hold up his holy hands and cry murder" and shed buckets of tears. A man who will sell his soul to the devil for few nickels and a woman for baby owl feather, are rather low down in the scale of humanity. II baby skulls were in vogue as fashionable breast
 pins, the elite feminine of the east would demand them and there are plenty of men in the east who would fu!- nish them at the same price they now get for baby owl skulls.-[0opper Era.

At Winslow candles have to be lit in the daytime, The. sand blows furiously. Several years ago there was a party of pros pectors, one of whom was my father, and they camped one night beside a well on the Colorado desert. In the morning when they got up, the wind had blown so hard that the sand was all blown away from around the well and-there was the well standing up in the air about forty feet high"

WILSON AND M'coRD.
Hard at Work for Statehood and the San
 Carlos Reservoir.

S. Colfax Ford, in an interesting letter to the Star, under date of Wash ington, March q, says:
 Delegate Wilson is laboring most in- telligently and industriously for state hood, and for the appropriation for the San Carlos reservoir. If he does not succeed it will not be his fault, and if he does not get these bills through this session he surely will the next. He is an industrious worker, and is well liked in the house. Ex-Gov. McCord, at the request of Gel. Wilson went be- fore the committee on irrigation of the arid lands last week, and made strong plea for the National Irrigation System, and especially for the San Carlos reser- voir. He laid great stress upon the suffering of the Indians because the waters formerly used by them had been diverted by the white men. Mr. Wilson and Mir. McCord have had several conferences with the secretary of the interior and the commissioner of Indian affairs, and these gentlemen have written letters to the committee favoring the appropriation for the San Carlos dam.
 Governor Murphy left for home to- day, utbefore taking his departure he assured your correspondent that he would neither be candidate for dele gate to the Philadelphia convention or for re-appointment for governor. He said he expected to soon take charge of his brothers immense business, which would require his whole time. He would now resign the governorship if he could dictate who his successor should be, but the president will not enter into his bargains.
 Governor McCord was asked who the delegates to the Republican National Convention would favor for president and he answered very promptly Me Kinley, of course. Asked if he would be candidate for delegate, he said no. He admitted very frankly that he could not be elected if he wanted to be. He said his stand in opposition to the cession of the arid lands to the states and territories had cost him his stand ing with the interior department, and that through the territorial and Federal officials that could be in- fuenced by that department he would be defeated if he should try. He said the interior department would oppose his election as delegate for fear he might get some declaration into the national platform in favor of national irrigation, and against ceding the lands to the states and territories. This brings to mind the fact that there is right smart disagreement in the cabinet over this question of ceding the lands. The attorney general and secretary of agriculture oppose, while the secretary of the interior favors the session theory. Senator Carter says the president stands with the attorney general and secretary of agriculture.

Still More CounterfeltIna.

The Secret Service has unear5hed an- other band of fcounterfeiters and secured a large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the aver age person would never suspect them of being spurious. Things of great value are always -select ted by counter feiters for imitation, notably the cele- brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, con stipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach, and when the stomach is in good order it makes good blood and plenty of it. In this manner the Bitters get at the seat of strength and vitality, and restore vigor to the weak and facilitated. Beware of counter feits when buying.

giant cracker when he did the conse-
quences to himself and the baby would
doubtless have been more disastrous.
The cracker was being held just at
about the heighth of the childs eyes
and had it exploded in the boys hand it
would have almost torn that member off
and undoubtly blinded the little one.
There can hardly be any blame at
tachsd to anyone. 1t was one of those
unfortunate occurrences which have al
ways occurred IN the Fourth of July
and doubtless always will occur, so long
as powder is used to celebrate.
The remedy would be in the preven-
tion of the sale OF those giant crackers.
which are menace to life and limb
There are plenty OF other styles of Are
works which answer the demands for a
celebration, that the big giant crackers
could be easily dispensed with for the
celebration.
1t is to be hoped that the little baby
will suffer no permanent iljury from
the accident. The parents have the
sympathy of the whole cummunity, on
account of the accident.
