A COLD RECEPTION.

John Alexander Dowie, in the
very inception of his assault upon
Greater New York, met with a
backset. This is but foretaste OF
the bitter contest that is before the
! "RestOrer" in his efforts to reclaim
Manhattan from its state of degener-
acy.
The Zion leader had hardly land
ed at the railroad station before some
irreverent Manhattanite, unimbued
with restoration principles, filched a
diamond and pearl brooch from Mrs.
John Alexander. This was hardly
the reception the great prophet
could have anticipated. His visit
to New York was planned for the
purpose Of scattering gems of truth
and not diamonds and pearls. He
must feel very keenly this lack of
appreciation of the object Of his visit.
The Interesting question arises if
the Zlonltes are robbed as soon as
they arrive at the railway station,
what will happen to them when
they go through Wall street. Verify,
it appears that Elijah Dowie has
tackled different proposition from
that which confronted him in Chi
cagO. He will be fortunate if he
escapes from New York with his
flowing robes and his hirsute adorn-
ment.

SERIOUSLY HURT.

Monday Morning at

The many friends of Capt. Ross
Williams, one of the popular con-

will regret to learn that he was pain
fully injured on his freight train
Monday morning, thatleft here going
east, at Fields. 1t seems that the
train parted just before stopping at
Fields, and when the engine with
its parted section of cars stopped at
the station, the rear section ran up
and collided with the standing Sec
tiou just as Capt. Williams was COM
ing out of his caboose, neither he
nor the engineer knowing that the
train had parted. He was thrown
violently from the platform, and
narrowly escaped falling under the
wheels. He received a painful cut
on the head, a broken rib and some
spinal injuries. He was brought to
his home in this city, and at pres
ent is resting easy, aud it is hoped
that he is not permanently injured.

DR.. J. n. Johnson, a popular

row escape from asphyXiation last
night. He was alone in his office
trying TO regulate a new gas machine
which he uses for he painless eNtrac-
ton of teeth. He placed the head
gear apparatus on his head and over
his nose and turned on the gas. He
soon began to feel dizzy and his first
thought was to turn off the gas, which
he did Immediately. He had in
hailed too much and when he tried
to straighten himself up he fell for
ward and struck his head against the
plate glass window. In falling he
broke the window and received sew
eral slight cuts on his head and face.
He remained unconscious for very
short time. He is at his office to-day
and except for the few slight cuts on
his face and head he is none the worse
off for the narrowing experience
which he went through with.

SCORES JUDGE NEAL.
Trial Jury Incident In
This County.


Wilmington Messenger.
The Raleigh Times says something
very pointed about the jury incident
of the Collins trial at the recent term
OF the superior court. The incident
was the suggestive manner In which
Judge Neal SO unceremoniously dis
charged the jury which had returned
verdict of not guilty, which verdict
was evidently not in accordance with
his own wishes, and The Times COM
mentS as follows:
s'We can see how a judge may,
with propriety, and in the interest of
justice, set aside a verdict where ex-
Geasfve damages or something of that
sort is involved, but for a judge to
dlsgrare and huntiiiate twelve men,
who failed to find the facts in accord
ance with his ideas, is rather a rank
proceeding, even for a judge. It
looks like this is notice to the public
that the jury system, for which this
country has had such great respect,
has failed, at least, in the estima-
ton of Judge Neal. It's to be hoped
these were unusually sorry men
not up to the average North Caro-
lima jury-for when the evidence is
all in, and when the lawyers have
had their say, and the Judge has
made his charge, the dellverance of
the jury, whether it be to convict or
set free, ought to be accepted, and
the judge of all men ought to pro-
tect, rather than discredit them, be-
fore the public.'
