Accident at the Tannery.

The slumbers Of the Franklin citizens
were disturbed last Sunday night at
1890 by the blowing of the tannery
whistle. Itappears that new pack
ing was put into the manhead of the
boiler over the furnace and this blew
out from the force of the steam. Geo.
d. Maneval, the night watchman, be-
gan to pull the fire and with this mix
ture of fire and steam, found himself
unable to cope with the elements. He
pulled the whistle and called in other
employers of the tannery. The trouble
was remedied and the tannery began
operations at noon Monday. 1t was
fortunate for Mr.. Maneval that he was
not in front Of the escaping steam when
the packing blew out. He was there
but few minutes before.

Trout Season Longer.

The trout fishing season will open
on April Is, and as the new law is now
in effect the lovers of this sport will
have fifteen days longer than last year.
The last day Of the coming season will
be Aug. l, instead Of July Is, as hereto
fore, and from all reports it is going to
be an exceptionally good one. Fish are
said to be plentiful and all streams
large and small-are expected to yield
large catches Last season compara-
lively few trout were caught. When 1t
was not raining, the streams were too
high and muddy for fishing and this
is one of the reasons why trout will bs
numerous this year

Letter to Jacob Paskusz, New York.
Dear Sir You are maker; 80 are We
You know what you make you know
all about 1t. We know our paint as
you know your goods.
We know wi,.- a. Il, how it acts;
what 1t does, how it lives, and how long
the conditions being favorable or un-
favorable.
1t is fair that we take the risk of il
every way; but We ought not to risk
any use or abuse of it.
Can't draw the line. We are dealing
with strangers. We are strangers to
them as they are strangers to US.
We want to be trusted by them. We
trust them first (; that's the way to
get trusted. We trust them to paint
with fair degree of common paint
knowledge and care. We expect to be
trusted to furnish paint as good as paint
can be, and TO last rs long as paint can.
lfyou do your business that way,
you are fellow with us and one of a
thousand.
A few mean men in the course of a
year will abuse our trust and put US to
loss; but 999 in 1000 will tell their
friends how true we are, and our paint
Is. That's what has made us the lar

by the great Northern Railway that
10000 emigrants are on the way to

Everybody seems busy; work is plenty
and wages good. Farmers pay from

Killed On The Track
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Dillon, Sept. 12..-Yesterday
the last excursion of the season
advertised to run from Rowland,
N. c., to Wilmington was crowd
ed with hundred, from various
points along the line, availlng
themselves of the cheap rates aud
the pleasant outing. Among the
party was young man from the
viciDity of Hamer er-Stephen Tur-
berville who got off the train on
its return la night about 10
o'c. ock, and started on foot for
his home about two miles south of
Hamer. He had been drinking
on the train and must have been
considerably under the influence
of liquor, inasmuch as he went up
the track for home instead of TAX
ing the opposite direction. A few
hundred yards above the depot he
evidently lay down on the track,
and overcome b, the narcotic
effect of the whiskey he had been
drinking soon became unconscious:
and there the returning train
found him; but the engineer saw
him too late to prevent the aw-
ful tragedy which folio we'd. His
mutilated remains we're cared for
by some of the railroad hands and
this morning turned over to the
proper authorities.

her baby and a brother, name un-
known, and Mr.. Newhouse and
Mrs. Graves are dead. Fifteen
others were found without cloths
ing excepting gunnisacks. Log
ging camps are burned out com
pletely. The fire has spread
from Lewis river north to the
kalama river, and so sections of
the finest timber on the coast
have been destroyed.
1t is impossible to give an esti
mate of the damage done to prop-
erty Oak Poin, 90 miles below
here, on the Columbia river has
been destroyed. There are mo
reports of lives lost but loses to
property is estimated at about
100000.
A great fire also is raging on

combustible in its path has been
consumed. The air is thick with
smoke and falling ashes. Three
lumber camps are reported miss

from the burned district. A
courier has just arrived from
Lewis river stating that on Lewis
river not less than so persons
have perished.
