Goldsboro, \. c., April 25.-The re-
port which has recently spread abroad
that fifteen deaths had recently oc-
CURED among the negroes at the col
ored insane asylum near this city, as
d result of bad beef. seems to be en-
tirely without foundation. This re-
porter had an interview his morning
with DR.. J. f. Miller, the superinten-
dent of the hospital, who said that no
bad beef had been given the patients
in the hospital and that no unwhole-
some food was ever permitted on the
premises. He stated that there had
been several deaths at the hospital of
late from d~ySentery, a disease which
has been prevalent in this community
for some weeks. The deaths which oc-
Cured at the above institution were
among patients of c~onsumptive- ten
dency, whose impaired constitution
could not withstand the ravages of the
disease.
The Odd Fellows of Goldsboro will
celebrate the Saith anniversary of the
order by appropriate exercises in
their lodge room next Sunday eve
ming. Rev. H. E. Trip, OF the Colds
boro circuit, will make the principal
address.
Hon. Chas. r. Thomas, congressman
from his district, has been selected by
the Ladies' Memorial Association of
this city to deliver the address on
Memorial Day. Col. I. H. Balm, of
this city. has been selected as chief
marshal and he will have his pro-
gramme ready n appoint his assis-
tantS.
A gentleman approached the chief of
police today and said with emotion: L
am a stranger here, but | want to ask
o to AVE lights placed on the pile
of dirt that is being thrown out by the
side of the railroad tracks. The best
friend / had in the world was killed
one night by stepping off a train on
a pile of dirt near the railroad rack.
He fell as he stepped off the train and
his legs were both cut off by sliding
from the pile of dirt under the train
and were run over by the wheels The
suggestion of the stranger should be
needed and people who have to get on
and off the train cannot be too careful
while the tracks are torn up as they
are at present.
A report was circulated in his city
this morning that the trucking section
between here and Wilmington had
been devastated by a hail storm yes
terday and that the strawberry crop
had been ruined. From several Jar
ties who arrived on the train from the
south today at noon it was learned
that there was 4 very light fall Of hail
at FaiSOn and Warsaw yesterday af-
ternOOn. but that the damage was of
no consequence.
