BELL TELEPHONE.
The Company Are Still Asking For
Franchise.

The question of granting fran
chise to the Southern Bell Telephone
Rtnpany came up before a meeting
of tie Board of Aldermen Monday
when it was decided to postpone the
matter until the superintendent of
the company should arrive here,
which would only be a few days.
The Board have been willing to
grant the company franchise for
both a local and long distance ex-
change, provided the local exchange
the date the franchise was granted,
and with the further proviso that the
long distance exchange should be
put in within ninety days. This
does not seem to please the phone
people and III the meantime they
will not come into the city, but will
strike across the corporate limits in
the Southern part Of town-and pro-
ceed on to Raleigh. They promise
to lay all wires on business streets
under ground if permitted to enter
the city and will allow the city the
use Of conduits and poles for the fire
alarm system. The force of work
mon who are putting up the poles
from Wilmington here have reached
the corporate limits of this city to-
day and have turned in the direction
Of Raleigh.
The proposition to open up the
vacant space in the cemetery 'front.'
ing Elm street for burial lots was
last night laid on the table
and it was further agreed to table
the resolution to purchase the adj
joining property of Mr.. I. B. Fon-
vile, on which it was intended to
erect lodge and a chapel. When
further extension Of the cemetery is
needed it will be made in a southern
direction.

SEVERE STORM.
Lightning Struck the Roman Cath
olic Church.

A very severe electric storm pass
ed over this city about 3 O'Clock Friday
morning which disturbed the restful
slumbers Of the majority of the popu-
lation. The lightning flashed almost
continuously, with binding bright
ness, and the thunder roared with
deafening ferocity. In the presence
of such seemingly reckless playful
ness of so powerful an instrument of
destruction the nerves of strong men
gave way while the goddess of sleep
took her fight out of the window.
Among the damage reported is the
partial destruction of the bell tower
of ST. Mary's Roman Catholic
church The large wooden cross
which stood with outstretched arms
on the pinacle of the tower was hurl-
ed to the ground some distance away.
Families living in the vicinity dis
tinctly heard the cracking sound
when the church was struck and al
so heard the dull thud when the
cross struck the ground. People
were soon calling to each other to
find out where the damage was done
and to find out if any person was in
jured. Not until the storm cleared
away was it learned what had hap
pened. A number Of people have
visited the church this morning.
| Splinters from the bell tower are
scattered over the street. The cross
has been taken up and carried inside
| the church.

STRANGE BUT TRUE.
Confederate History Which Develops
Strange Coincidence.

Capt. D. J. Broadhurst, Colds
boro's popular City Clerk, has just
returned from Mt. Olive, where he
went to attend the annual reunion of
Company E, Goth N. G. Regiment
of the Confederate Veterans. He re-
ports that the reunion was unusually
pleasant this year, and also reports a
circumstance in connection with
the company's history which de-
serves notice as being somewhat pc
culiar. At the reunion last year at
Faison Mr.. B. b. Carr Unsupported
company historian, which position
he has filed admirably and has fur
nished some interesting data. His
sketch of the company developed
the fact that there were seven sets of
brothers in the company and in the
seven sets there were three brothers
from each family. Out of the three
brothers from each fireside who went
to the front in defense of the coun-
try's honor two of each set were
slain in battle or died from disease
and only one returned. This was the
case in every instance and is consid-
cred remarkable. This interesting
fact had never developed until the
history of the company was put to-
gether.

FATHER PARDONED
BY GOVERNOR GAMBLER, OF
GEORGIA.
Three Little Girls of T. H. Clark
Write the Governor in His
Behalf and Get
His Release.

A letter written by three little
girls in Athens, Aged II, s and 3
years, secured the full and uncondi-
tlonal pardon of their father, T. H.
Clark. who WINS serving asentence i'll
the penitentiary for larceny after
trust.
Governor Gambler received the let
ter several weeks ago, and the chief
executive was greatly touched by
the pitiful appeal Of the little chill
dren, who addressed him as DearMr.
Governor, and told of how they were
living with their grandfather in Ath-
ems since the conviction of their par
ent, that their grandfather was par
alyzed, that they wanted to go to
school and had no clothes to wear
and if they could get their father
back they would be able to be in
school and play with the other chill
dren
The governor did not wait a single
minute after reading the letter but
hurried to the Office Of the prison
commission where he asked for the
record of Clark AS the letter was
written from Clarke county the
chief executive was under the i'm
preston that the man was con-
victed in that county. Inves-
tigation revealed the fact, how
ever, that I've man was sent for two
years from Fulton county, and the
governor made further inquiry. He
found that Clark had been an agent
for a sewing machine company,
working on commission, and when
he settled with the firm he was few
dollars short, and had no money to
make good his shortage.
A warrant was sworn out for his
arrest. and when tried he admitted
that he had used the money but not
with the intention to ,defraud. He
was fonnd guilty and sentenced to
two years. His wife and three chill
dren were Left a1RsOst destitute in
Atlanta and q few weeks later his
wife died, leaving the children all
alone.
Their grandfather, who lived in
Athens, came for them, however,
and since the death of their mother
they have lived with him. But the
little ones were not satisfied. They
had been told that the governor
could release their father from the
chaingang if he would and the oldest
child wrote the governor a long
letter detailing liza a childish way all
| the circumstances.
"When I read that letter. said
the governor Thursday, 1tteans came
to my eyes. [ pictured those young
children up in Athens, without a
mother, with a grandfather who was
paralyzed and with their own father
in the penitentiaIy. I believe that
appeal from those children would
have melted heart of stone, and ]
determined if possible that I would
pardon Clark. On Investigation I
found that could do SO, and now he
is free man."
