Kitchen Hints.

Baking powder is expensive but if made
at home it will not cost nearly so much.
and is as good as the high-priced powder.
The following is a reliable recipe: Six
ounces tartaric acid, eight ounces best
baking soda and one quart of best -four.
Mix we'll together and sift Ave or six
times through a fine seive.
To scour steel knives, moisten coal
ashes with kerosene and use as a polish
and they will shine like silver. If the
ivory handles have become spotted or
yellow, rub them with fine sand paper
and then polish with finely powdered
pumice stone and they will look as fresh
as new. Enameled saucepans soon be-
come discolored, and an easy way of re-
moving the stain is to put little
chloride of lime in the pan, fill it with
cold water and set it on the back Of the
stove where the water will keep hot and
let it remain for several hours, then
scrub with hot suds
A good cement for mending tinware is
made by mixing together litharge and
glycerine until it is of the consistency
of thick cream. This cement is also good
for mending earthenware, and for faster,
ing lamp tops. The article mended
should not be used until the cement is
hardened.
Soda is excellent for cleaning tinware.
Apply with damp cloth and polish with
a soft dry cloth, and when dishes bcglit
to look dark they may be frightened by
using soda in the same way, and dishes
and glassware may be made beautifully
clean by washing through hot sudS made
by stirring enough pearline in the water
to make a strong Iather A good cement
for china or glass is made of plaster OF
pairs and thick solution of gum arabic
and the gum which is found on cherry
trees is also good for mending these
/ articles. MARTHA.

NO TRIPLE HANGING TODAY.
Appeal to Supreme Court Delays Execution Of
Negroes at Windsor.

Today was the time set for the execu-
tion of John Stephenson, John Belfield
and Junius Bishop at Windsor for the
murder of Mr.. James B. Stephenson at
Roxobel in BERTHE county, on April g..
After their conviction an appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court, and this
will not be heard till the second week of
the court, early in September
1t will be remembered that the three
negroes named and Milton Belfield were
engaged in a quarrel with Mr.. Stephen
son about the weight of some meat, and
that as the result of it the four shot him
as he came from the store in which he
clerked. Milton Belfield, the leader, es-
capped, but was finally captured at We'll
don, dying in Windsor a short time af-
forwards from the bullet wounds nf1ict-
ed when he was caught.
The case against the three was heard
by Judge Geo. H. Brown and they were
convicted of murder and sentenced, but
an appeal was taken. 1t is reported that
this may be abandoned, and if so Cover
nor Aycock will set the time of execu-
ton, which he would also do in case the
Supreme Court refused the appeal for
new trial.

dition Prom Railroad Accident

Thirty or more cars passed over his right
leg, which was badly mashed and cut,
the injury being along the entire leg.
The injured man was brought to Rex
Hospital in Raleigh, and his condition Is
very serious. He had not recovered
from the shock at late hour last night
and his condition was so bad that no
attempt was made to amputate his leg,
which will be done if it is found that he
can stand it. Mr.. Beasley is a young
man, residing with his father

(By the Associated Press.)
Altoona, Pa, July 30-Engineer John
w. Kemmerling was instantly killed and
his fireman, H. M. Nicely, fatally in
jured in a wreck at Packsaddle, sixty
miles west of Altoona, at noon today.
The train, the fast mail which consist
ed of a big locomotive and three postal
cars, left Altoona for the West about an
hour late. Engineer Kimmerling was
trying to make up lost time and covered
part of the run at the rate of seventy
miles an hour.
At Packsaddle there are two reverse
curves and the rules of the company
call for a slow down at this point. KEN
merling, no doubt, exceeded the pre-
scribed speed, for the locomotive left
the track as soon as it reached the
curve, and after ploughing across the
roadbed plunged over a fifty foot en-
bankment to the Conemaugh river.
The engineer was crushed under the
huge mass land the fireman was so badly
injured that death resulted in a few
hours. The postal cars remained on the
roadbed and were not badly broken.

amined and as a result the case was dis
missed.

COTTON DAMAGED MATERIALLY.
The Floods in Texas Continue. Fears Of Loss
of Life.
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated HreSS)
Dallas, Texas, July 30.-Advices from
the State at large do not show improve
ment in the flood situation tonight.
A report comes from IIillsboro that
between four hundred and five hundred
men were chopping in the bottoms be-
tween Richland and Post Oak creeks
when the heavy rain fell Saturday and it
is feared that some of them were
drowned, as no communication has been
received from them.
International and Great Northern, en-
tering San Antonio from the east, is al
most completely tied, and the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas road has abandoned
that route for it's fast trains.
There was a cloudburst at Greenville
last night. The flood conditions in the
Brazos Valley continue to grow worse.
The river is again rising about Waco
and the crest of the flood was only a
short distance below that point this
morning.
The weather has been fair in the Dali
las district all today and railroad men
hope the worst is over.
The rains have damaged the cotton
crop materially. The present crop
promised to be the largest in the history
of the State, but boil worms are devel-
oping rapidly and farmers are becoming
apprehensive.
A special to the News from Austin
says five lives were lost and hundreds
of head of live stock were drowned in
the food which struck the district loca-
ted forty miles southeast of there yes
terday and the night previous. The dis
trict referred to is in Caldwell and Hayes
counties, distant from telegraphic COM
munication, and therefore reports are
meagre.
