DEL.
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

!
! The following from the Great Falls,
Montana, Daily Tribune, of June 10th,
relates to son of Rev. S. NJ. Atkinson
of this place:
w. d. Kernes, a Young man en-
ployed at the copper smelters, was
frlg htfully injured yesterday afternoon
While working on the machinery in
the concentrator, and while the sur
geons in attendance are hopeful of his
recovery they admit that his condition
is very serious, the shock having been
severe and his injuries great.
lie was adjusting large belt rum
ming over large pulley in the concen-
traitor, when his hand slipped and his
arm was drawn in between the belt
and pulley, the belt catching his sleeve
and winding it tight around the arm,
which was rapidly drawn into the ma
chlnery. The pulley was running at a
h1gn rate of speed and Kernes was
caught SO firmly that he was whirled
around several times before the ma
chinery could be stopped. He was
hurled with awful force two or three
times against the wood work in the
vicinity and so great was the strain
that his arm was nearly pulled off.
When he was released from the
machinery his hand was torn and
crushed and blood. was flowing from
the wounds very freely, but at no time
either while being Whirled around in
the grasp of the grasp of the pulley, or
while waiting for the surgeons to arrive
did Kernes utter sound. He suffered
intensely, but bore the great pain
heroically.
" AS soon as possible he was removed
to Columbus hospital, where his
injuries were dressed. It was necessary
to amputate the mangled hand and he
stood the operation we'll, rallying
rapidly, but the other injuries are also
very severe. The arm from which the
hand was ampntated is broken in two
places, the shoulder blade is broken
and one leg is fractured, while the body
is bruised and scratched in many
places. The injured man lost much
blood and it is very doubtful whether
or not he can recover"
Mrs. Atkinson has received letters
since the accident, stating that her son
is rapidly recovering from his injuries.
Unless new complications arise, he will
escape with the loss of one hand only.

JUDGE sPIER WHITAKER DEAD.

Ex-Judge Spier Whitaker, we'll
known throughout North Carolina
and long prominent in politics, died
in Raleigh last Wednesday.
He was born in Halifax county in
1841, was prepared for the University
at Hughes Academy, graduated at
the State University in 1861, went
into the army, was adjutant of the
Thirty third Regiment. He became
a lawyer and represented Halifax in
the Senate. He removed to Raleigh
10 years ago. In 1883 he was Demo
cratic State chairman. The next
year he was appointed judge. He
was a major in the Sixth Regiment,
United States Immunes, in the war
with Spain, and served in Porto
Rico. All his family were at his
bedside save the oldest son, De-
Berniere Whitaker, who is on his
way here from Porto Rico.

as we should. One of the nations
famous battle grounds near here is
very poorly kept. In fact, a stranger
might travel the road at the very
foot of the famous hill, and never
know he was on sacred ground. The
underground all over the hill is about
as thick and rank as it is on any
other part of the mountain. Two
slabs, one to mark the spot where Col.
Ferguson fell, the other where he
was buried, have been on the ground
for a year or longer but have never
been put in place over the spots they
are to mark. Would the lawmakers
of North and South Carolina not
honor themselves by honoring the
field where those rugged mountain
GERS died, and in dying purchased
our liberty, and established the
grandest nation the sun ever shone
upon? A very small appropriation
would suffice. Much money is spent
for aus less worthy.

They had paid SIG, 900 of this up to

were incurred during the past two

Treasury advanced over SIC, 900

A GREAT WHEAT FIELD BURNED.

A Lighted Cigar Starts a Fire That Destroys
$4,000 Acres of Grain, Causing a Loss of
500, 900 Bushels.
GREAT BEND, Kan, July Eff
teen Thousand acres of wheat went
up in flames here yesterday after
noon. The fire was started by an I'M
known man throwing a cigar into a
field of wheat stubble. Everything
was as dry as finder, and soon a de-
structive fire was in progress.
All the residents here left their
work and exhausted every known
method for fighting fires, but to no
avail, and it was late this evening
before the fire was under control.
Roughly estimated, the loss will ag-
gregate 300, 600 bushels, nearly all of
which was in stack.

A FOR ART.
An Eccentric Mans Disposition of His
Wealth.

NEW YORK, July 13.-By the will
Of the late Jacob S. Rogers, the mil
lionaire locomotive builder of Pater-
son, N. j., the Metropolitan Museum
of Art of this city is to receive the
enormous endowment fund of any
where from S., 75O, 900 to 81, ESQ, 900.
With the exception of eight requests
amounting in all to only $3.50, 900 the
entire estate of the eccentric old
gentleman, who for years has led
the life of a recluse, is bequeathed
tol the Museum that is devoted to
matters concerning which Mr. Rog-
ers had little knowledge andin which
he was supposed to have even less
interest. This princely endowment
will put the Museum of Art on a la
sis of financial resources superior
probably to that of any similar in
stitutiOn in the world. It raises it
from a positian of comparatively
narrow resources to one of great in
fuence. The total resources of the
Museum as shown by the last annu-
al report we're put little over $780,
900. By Mr.. Rogers great endow-
ment this sum will be increased GER
tainly to nearly $6, 900, 900 and per-
haps to somewhere near So, 500, 900.
Relatives will, however, contest the
will.

We print on page 1 of this issue a
notice of the spread of Charlton in
several Mississippi counties. The
Charlotte Observer gives the follow
ing additional facts regarding the
disease:
Unless the epidemic of Charlton
pronounced sharbon) in Mississippi,
Louisiana and Arkansas is checked
that section is likely to suffer more
than from an overflow of the Father
of Waters. It is a deadly disease of
cattle, but flies and mosquitoes may
carry it from a dead animal to hui
man beings and already there have
been a few deaths of men or women
on it's account in the affected dis
trict. Between Memphis and New
Orleans all the river bottoms are in
fected. It is in such localities where
the streams are accustomed to over
flow, that the disease thrives. The
baoilIi are not easily destroyed and
are often preserved from one year
to another in hay and fodder. Char
bon is the ancient anthrax and the
preventive is in anti.anthraw vacci-
nation. It is said that there is no
remedy. 1t is to be hoped that the
epidemic will be kept within the
present area of Infection and not an
igrate in other directions.
