A FATAL ACCIDENT.
An Account Given OF the Death of Miss
Laura DevcreIIX.

visitor to Raleigh yesterday VINO
was in western North Carolina when
Miss Laura DeVereuX was killed py
falling over cliff, gives the follow
ing account of the tragic event:
Miss DevereuX left Esmera!da Inn
last Thursday morning about 9 O'Clock,
in good spirits, leaving word where she
was going. She was in the habit of tax
ing such walks. She did not return
AT one for dinner Search began
When not found at either place a gen
eral alarm was given and the Whole
countryside joined in the search, which
continued all night and the next morn
ing. Her body was found Friday
morning lat 1880 at the foot OF the
Tails, in an unfrequented spot. TWO
young men, John Flack, of Chimney
Rock, and Sanford Mason, of Raleigh,
found it after the men had given up
the search.
Because of possibility Of four play,
the body was not moved until the ar
rival of coroner, though a guard was
left with it. The inquest was held at
Esmeralda Inn Friday night and the
verdict was death by accident. There
was not a vestige of evidence to the
contrary.
Miss DevereuX had been suffering
for q week or two from attacks of dir
ton, and the jury thought it more
than probable that Miss DevereuX had
sat down at head of the falls to look
at the beautiful view. Her foot prints
were there, and her stick near. An at
tack OF faintness may have come on;
rising would have aggravated the diz-
illness. From this loss of Self-control
the accident may have occurred. This
is the most probable of the various
theories advanced.
"The body fell on the solid rock be-
low--hairpins and comb were found
here-and these slipped some feet
down the sloping rock. The skull was
fractured near the left ear, producing
instant death. The left shoulder was
crushed, but no other bones were
broken. The spray from the little
brook preserved the body wonderfully.
1.-THE undertaken from Asheville ar
rived early on Saturday morning. The
body was embalmed and was taken
from the Inn at II O'Clock for Ashe-
vile. Everything in Miss DevereuX' S
room had been left in it's usual good
order. Everything pointed to her ex-
rectation of return to dinner, and the
report that there were burned letters
OF the cliff from which she fell proved
to be an error"

this circumstance the five convicts
named suddenly broke ranks and ran
directly at the women they had just

ing them in line with the guards, made
. of, down the road for a considerable
distance, when they scattered and
turned into the woods.
The guards, as soon as they could
get fair shot past the women, opened
fire on the fugitives, but by that time
the distance had become so great that
no execution was done.
The prison authorities offer $25
each for the return of the convicts.

NATURE SPARES


What a fortunate provision of nature
1t is, that oepriveS the rose of mental
suffering; fer how poignant would be it's
grief to discover, in the height Of it's
blooming glory. that canker fed at it's
heart, and that it's beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women. but thanks to the in
vestIgations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction is now known to be
n germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
