Not What They Expected.

Seated in a third class carriage
of southbound express were eight
people. Seven of the mum Ser were
quietly reading, when suddenly the
eighth broke into deep and blood
curdling groans. Horror stricken,
the rest gazed at him for mo-
ment, and then one of them, with
great presence of mind, produced a
brandy flask and, pouring out CO.
pious draught, forced it on the suf-
ferer. It was quickly disposed of.
"How do you feel now" inquired
one of the company.
sPrin,ew was the reply.
"What was the matter with you ?"
was the next query.

French Fruits and Vegetables.

The French larder was much bet
ter furnished than the English in
medieval times, but some things
were considered dainties which are
now discarded. Our modern con-
PETITIONERS offer us candied violets,
but the French of the fourteenth
century used to cook violet leaves
like spinach or serve them as salad.
They also used to eat the green
ears of wheat boiled with melted
butter, just as in this country we
eat the unripe ears of Indian corn.
The young burgeons of the grape
vine boiled and dressed with q pi-
quaint sauce were a favorite vegeta-

The moon sent q broad Hood or
light through the open door and
showed the hams plainly. They
were large and round and had a
most savory odor. It seemed as
though even a raw piece would be
delicious.
'eJim," said Jack, shifting them
hungrily, won't some of that taste
good in the mornin ?"
''Ma will enjoy it, !" said the other
simply.
In a few minutes they had re-
tired to their rooms, very softly,
too, so as not to disturb the old
folks.
Jack did not go to sleep as soon
as he got in bed, though that was
his. habit. He kept seeing those

they did not look so fair as they
had. His conscience, rendered acute

window, smiled in his sickly face de-
risively. He shut his eyes, and to

"You have" answered Con-

''But it is for ma ! did it." he
pleaded submissively.
"Do you think" said Conscience,
"she would eat what has passed
through a thief's hands?"
He could stand it no longer. He
got up and silently opened the door,
hoping to breathe easier. Just IS
he had taken deep inhalation a
sudden noise made him start, and
he shivered in the cool night air. Il
was only his brother opening his
door, which also looked out on the
little back porch. He stood there,

The Weather Bureau of the North

Service issues the following report of
the condition of the crop in North Caro-
lima for the week ending Monday, July IA:
THE weather during the fore part of

the State on the 10th, 18th and 18th, ac-
companied by much cooler weather
Clear, warmer weather prevailed during
the remainder of the week. These show
ers partially relieved the drought and
greatly benefited all vegetation. Corn
had begun to show signs of deterioration
from the effects of the dry spell, but was
relieved considerably in localities

is reported as being in very fine condi-

by lice in many sections, though some
correspondents report that the insects
are beginning to disappear. Tobacco has
improved considerably since the rains,
and is generally doing well. Curing has
begun. but is not yet under general head
way. Wheat threshing is nearing COM
pletion; light yields are generally re-
ported. Dat cutting is about completed
and threshing is in progress; indications
point to a light yield. Potatoes, both

BRIGHTER FOR ExTRADITION.
A Change of Procedure in the Greene -Gaynor
Case
(Bv the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington July 15.-The officials here
who are seeking to secure the extradi-
ton from Canada to this country OF
Greene and Gaynor are now feeling more
confident in the success of their efforts
The reason for their optimism is a
change in the method of procedure, they
having framed their application for the
extradition of the men precisely in ac
cordance with the language of the eX-
tradition treaty. This was done on the
ground that the language of the treaty
relative to receiving any money, valua-
bic security, or other property, knowing
the same to have been embeZzled, stolen
or fraudulently obtained is claimed to
actually fit the offense of which the men
are said to have been guilty. 1t is ex-
pected that the Canadian court will thus
be relieved of the necessity of ruling
upon the objection made by the defend
ants, that the crime charged in the in
dictment does not correspond with the
treaty. Under the tnew application the
court will simply be required to decide
whether or not a prima facie case of
receiving stolen moneys has been made
out against Gaynor and Greene
If the men are surrendered under eX-
tradition proceedings, the Georgia courts
will be obliged to decide the difficult and
delicate question, whether Gaynor and
Greene can be tried for conspiracy as
indicted, after having been obtained
from Canada on warrant which does
not charge that offense.

was found lying in the ditch beside the
track. DR.. Stafford, of Burlington, at
once made an examination, and found he
was living, administering such imme-
date attention as was necessary. The
injured man was placed on the train and
brought to the hospital here. and is in
charge of the company's physician. 1t
has been found impossible, up to now to
find out who he is. He is neat we'll
dressed person, but nothing whatever on
his person has been found by which to
identify him, and he is not yet conscious,
if he ever will be again. One arm is
broken, his skull is fractured and several
Commissions are on his body. 1t is said
that the engineer has stated that there
was no sign OF any obstruction on the
track, until just as the train was nearly
upon him, he jumped in front of the en-

hoor in Raleigh yesterday morning for
the first time in several years. 1t Was
quite an event, and a large number of
prominent business men of the town at
tended the sale, which took place at half
past ten o'clock at the Capital Ware
house.
The season proper will not open until
August list; but both the Capital and
Farmers warehouses are ready at any
time to accommodate farmers who may
nave tobacco to sell. This was how the
sale happened to take place yesterday.

nothing to prevent Raleigh from be-
coming a great tobacco market.

STORE ENTERED AND ROBBED.
Thieves Take 1885 and Several Revolvers
From Hart-Ward Hardware Store

Between the hours of 1880 Saturday
evening and a. m. Sunday, the Hart
Ward Hardware store on Fayetteville
street was broken into by thieves, who
took 1885. ell the cash in the drawer,
and several revolvers from the show
case. 1t is supposed that they effected
an entrance through the rear door and
escaped the same way. Mr.. Graham Hay
wood went into the store about o'clock
Sunday morning and at once saw that
something had happened. Upon inspec-
ton it was found that the rear door had
been tempered with and an entrance
gained into the store. There is no clue
to the thieves yet.

The National Bureaus Report.
{By the Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, July 15.-The following
is the Weather Bureaus weekly sum.
mary of crop conditions:
Very favorable temperatures prevailed
during the week ending July IA in all
districts east of the Rocky Mountains
except the Central and East Gulf States,
the latter have suffered somewhat from
excessive heat, but have, however, re-
ceived much needed rains, relieving to
a great extent the severe drought. The
corn crop as a whole in the principal
corn States has made very favorable
progress. In the Southern States late
corn has improved somewhat, but the
carly crop is very poor. In New Eng
land, New York and North Dakota corn
is very backward.
Winter wheat harvest is nearing COM
pletion, except in the northern portion
of the winter wheat belt.
Spring wheat is now heading in the
northern portion of the spring wheat re-
gion and the general outlook continues
promising.
Oats continue in promising condition
A general Improvement in the condition
OF cotton is indicated, although in the
central and eastern districts the plant is
small, and blooming to top is extensive
ly reported.
In Texas, except in the region of
drought, which comprises less than 1C
per cent of the cotton area, the crop has
made rapid growth, and in many sections
the prospects are fattering.
Tobacco is doing well, though small in
the Middle Atlantic States. Cutting and
curing are in progress in the Carolinas
and some of the early planted in Tennes-
see is ready for topping.
