AFTER THE COLT.
Ex-SheriH Ham Jones
Takes Out Papers.
His Son. Fourteen Years Old, Had
Traded il but the Father Would
Not Stand for the Trade
With MIR. Chas. W0odai!.

Ex-Sheriff Ham T. Jones was greatly
stirred up yesterday.
The former Republican sheriff, who now
stays most of his time in Norfolk, where
he is in business, was after a colt that
he did not want to part with.
A day ago his son, Shell Jones, fourteen
years-old, was here with a colt which he
stated had been given him by his father.
The colt was good blood us its sire is
Gregorian. There was a trade between
young Jones and Mr. Charles Woodall, Of
Woodalls livery stables, and young
Jones, with the horse he traded for, left
for Chapel Hill, where he went to see a
ball game.
The ex-sheriff heard of the trade and
hied here from Norfolk. He saw Mr..
Woodall, who wanted his horse back be-
fore there was any change in the status
Mr.. Jones said that he had not authorized
his son to sell and wanted the colt badly.
So he applied to Clerk of the Court
Russ for claim and delivery papers. AS
he said the colt was valued at $500 he
made bond for 5000, and received the pa,
pers which demanded the return of the
colt.
Accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Walters
he went to Woodalfs stables, and there
the officer served the papers and took
charge of the colt. The deputy sheriff
then took the middle of the street, with
halter in hand, and with Ham zones by
his side the procession moved to Mr..
George Harden's stables, where the colt
was left.
Mr.. Woodall said last night that now
he had neither horse or colt, and that he
was willing to surrender tine colt without
any claim and delivery. papers. He ex
poets an early return of his horse, which
he said he expected had been left at Cary
when yor Tones went to Chapel HILL

damon and Pythias" Fine.

Most elaborate and splendidly presented
was Damon and Pythi4s'' at the Metro
politan Theatre in F. R. Halam's revival
OF that classic.
AS 'Pythias" there was excellent work
done by Frank r. Agnus while Geo. A. D.
Johnson as Damon was as equally well
done. Mr. Harry ID. Clifton as Dionysias
and Miss Monica Lee as Calanthe deserve
rraising as indeed does the entire cast.
The costumes and scenic effects were
all in keeping with the play and the au-
dience enjoyed the presentation greatly.
The company is one Of the strongest that
has visited Raleigh this season and is
worthy of the largest audiences.

LAFAYETTE FIRE INSURANCE co.
Baltimore Fire Closes 1t Up But Its
Patrons are Protected.

Insurance Commissioner Young says:
Information comes to the Department of
insurance that the Lafayette Fire Insur-
aace Company, licensed to do business in
tbs State, has ceased business. and have
rCinsured their risks in the National Fire
Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn
Il ne National, Mr.. Young says. is first
clcss ard very strong company anu this
makes all of their policies in this State
perfectly safe, so that their policy hold
eIs need not have any fears about the
matter.
The Lafayette Fire Insurance Company
was organized in 1856. In 1892 it stopped
business but commenced again in 1897.
ard has had a hard struggle because OF
being small company. 1t reported at
the beginning of the year net surplus
of S6S,7S7. but lost by the Baltimore con-
fagration about 100000 and the managers
deemed 1T best to close up the business.
This they will be enabled to do without
any loss to any of their patrons.

MINERS HORRIBLE FATE.
Fell AGO Feet in Shaft at Cumnock
Mine.

Mr.. r. II. Hayes, of Pittsboro, the re-
ceiver of the Chatham Coal and Iron coal
tells of a horrible death there a day ago.
An Italian named Antonio Calabro came
up in the cage of the north shaft and as
he reached the first landing on the ground
he tried to jump from the cage to the
ground He saw he could not make
it and tried to get back, struck against
Il beam, lost his balance and fell into the
south shaft and fell AGO feet below. being
crushed and killed instantly.
The accident occurred on Wednesday
evening at five o'clock. The man should
have waited for the cage to reach the
landing as it never stops at the first place
above ground. He wanted to save the
walk down the steps and fell to his death
400 fee. below.
Mr.. Hayes says coal is still being got
out of the mines, but he is waiting to see
whether or not to continue operations and
will consult all interests before coming to
conclusion. The assets of the company
may be 100000, the claimed value of the
