TWO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.
In One Case Death Resulted, and the
Other May Be Bruised for Life -
Cash Drawer Robbed.
(Special to The Messenger.

Especial to The Messenger.)
Goldsboro. n. c., July 9.-There was
a robbery committed at the ice fac
tory Thursday which the managers
nave refrained from giving out as
news, in the hope that the robbers
would be detected and caught. Sc
crecy has awaited nothing, and they
now announce that money to the
amount of $21 was taken from the
cash drawer while the manager was
gone to dinner. Contrary to the usual
custom, the manager left the key in
he money drawer, so that his as
siStant could make change for Gus
toners. The assistant had occasion to
leave the office for a moment, and it
is thought that the money was taken
while there was no one in the office.
There were two very serious acct
dents that occurred in and near FIRE.
mont yesterday. In one cas death
resulted. and in h other the party
is now in a sanitarium in Wilson, with
his left jawbone broker into frag-
ments. Mr.. Jesse Ross. the man
who died last night at 10 o'clock at
his home in Fremont, went out into
his yard yesterday afternoon, after a
storm, to pull down a limb from a
shade tree which had been broken by
the wind. In his efforts TO wrench the
limb from the tree he ruptured a
blood vessel and had to be taken into
the house. He suffered until 10
o'clock last night. He was a promi-
nent man in his town. and his death
will be sincerely regretted by a host
of friends. The man who had his
jawbone broken is Mr.. John F1oars.
the proprietor of a saw and planning
mill near Fremont. At the time the
accident occurred he was operating a
pianer. Without warning. a small
piece of timber struck him on the
jaw. He was rendered unconscious at
once. The blow was terrific, and so
badly mutilated that side Of his face
as to cause him not to be recognized
by his friends 1t is said that he will
probably recover, but his injuries are
of a serious nature.

in such a way that can be carefully

l.. Galloway, the chief OF the bureau
of plant industry, that the ants, which
are now in New Orleans. are in good
condition and more numerous than
when they started from Guatemala
Mr.. Cook states that it is highly impor-
tant to learn the adaptibility Of the ants
to the different climates n soils as
found in Texas; that in case Of neces-
sity they may be exterminated abso-
lutely and easily if undesirable traits
appear. He says the ants are thor
oughly predatory in their habits; that
they may be handled with impunity
and that they are as harmless as toads.
