Death of Mrs. Dunn.

Very early Friday morning Mrs.
Patty J. Dunn passed away after Il
lingering illness. Her death was not
unexpected as she had been failing
for some time and for several DAYS
no hopes we're entertained of her
rallying again.
The funeral service was conducted
at the home Saturday afternoon by
DR.. l.. l.. Nash and Rev. |. n Loftin,
with the interment at the cemetary.
Mrs. Dunn was q most excellent
Christian lady and for many years
an esteemed member of the Baptist
Church. She was the widow of Mr..
VIM. T. Dunn, and was born and
reared in Charlotte Co. Va, where
she married and lived until the death
of her husband She resided in Hen
derson for % years
For thirteen years she had been an
invalid, suffering much at times, and
| until her death she made her home
with her daughter, Miss Mollie Dunn,
| who with beautiful and untired de-
votion cared for her during all her
sickness and surrounded her with
every comfort and attention. Mrs.
Dunn was a favorite with all who
knew her, and a large circle OF friends
will mourn her loss. IL the midst of
weakness and suffering they always
found her bright and cheerful, and
trouble could not dim her faith.
Especially did the pastors of the
town find it a privilege to visit her,
and rarely could they enter her sick
room without themselves being
cheered and strengthened. An I'M
seen Friend was her constant guest
and she sat at His feet and learned
of Him.
Mrs. Dunn leaves one daughter,
Miss Mollie and seven grand child
ren, besides numerous relatives. She
had lost two children, one daughter
who died at an early age and a son
who died about thirteen years ago.

Attempt to Wreck a Train.

The Durham passenger train com
ing to Henderson Saturday narrow
ly escaped being wrecked as d result
OF Il deliberate attempt at such.
Capt. T. j. Gilmore, who relates the
circumstances to US was on the
engine at the time with engineer j.
W. Allen and when on the north side
OF Tar river a cross tie was discover
ed on the track. The air brakes were
applied and engineer Allen endeavor-
ed to stop his train, But he was on
the obstruction before the the train
could be brought to a standstill.
Fortunately the sill was pushed
along the rails in front of the engine
for some distance and did not get
under the wheels in such manner as
to throw it. The obstruction was
removed but before the train had
proceeded very far another cross tie
was found on the track. Then
another and another until six of
them were thrown Off Near where
the last one was found a negro man
was discovered in the woods peeping
from behind a tree He was caught
and confessed to placing the ties on
the track He said he did it because
some of the section hands had fretted
him. The negro turned out to be
one Lewis Harris, half witted (per-
haps crazy fellow from Granville
county. He was taken to Oxford
and put in Jail for a safe keeping.
1t is said he has hallucinatiOnS and
imagines people are after him or
some body has done him an injury
and he wants to get even with them
in some way.
The passengers were very much
outraged at the attempty to wreck
the train and until it was found that
the negro was not of sound mind
there was talk Of using the bell cord

A FRIENDLY ACTION.

First Baptist Church Congregation
 Files a Bill.
 A bill was filed yesterday in the Chan cery Court by the First Baptist Church against T. L. Jones, ct als. to have the property on which the church now stands declared unfit for church purposes.
 The litigation is of friendly nature. The church property was bequeathed by the lGte John Gindrat, specifically for church purposes. The congregation now wishes t0 build on the recently purchased lot, corner Scott and Perry Streets. and to aid in the building it was contemplated to sell the old property.
 Thinking that if they so did the title might be found faulty, the congregation yesterday went into court to have the property condemned for church pur- poses. .
