The words were hardly out of his mouth before I had jumped to the gcoundrel's scheming. Number Two under whose direction Number Three was acting, had shifted the most dangerous part of his mission-the actual conveyance of the bomb to Lord Cranthorpe's residence upon the shoulders of his subordinate, who, in his turn, thought to make use of me as his catspaw in the same manner.
 To affect to fall in with his dastard- ly plan would be the surest way to in duce the plotter to show me his hand;
 so, protesting with profusion of oaths that was ready to listen to anything that promised to make more terrible the vengeance that was to be meted out to Lord Cranthorpe, invited him, in suitable language, to tell me what he wanted me to do. Evidently grati- fled, and perhaps not little relieved by the success of the stratagem by which the decree which he dared not disobey could be carried out without risk to his own precious person, he took my arm, and leading me towards the shadow of some trees at the cor ner of the square, began to unhurden his mind of the business. Scarcely had we got our heads well together, how ever, when suddenly, silently, and without a moments warning, some thing whizzed between us Though was not conscious of any direct blow, found myself flung forward as fOrcib1y as if I had just been dis charged from an enormous catapult, und after whirling, a confused tangle of arms and limbs, in sort of human catherine wheel, and executing couple of somersaults, landed finally on the pavement, where lay listening to the rsusic of the stars that were singing En my ears as we'll as staggering away before my eyes.

''I quite agree with you" said a voice, the owner of which was still too dazed to see "A most sensible remark, Pm sure, and my own senti- ments entirely. Say it again. It will do you good"
 said 1t again.
 Precisely" the voice went on; tits not generally considered word to make glad the heart of man, but in the present instance you couldn't have hit upon one to gratify me more. It was quite soothing in fact, for thought at first I had killed you, and that word was the best assurance I could have that you hadn't yet gone to Heaven and become an angel It was too human
 !, sat up, rubbing the back of my head ruefully, and looked around. Number Three had gone-whither there was nothing to indicate; but a tradesman's cart had drawn up to the curb, and by the light of the lamp I saw standing over me, with what in spite of the levity with which he had spoken, was face of concern, tall, dark, determined looking man. Two of his fingers were clipping the under cuff of his coat sleeve in order to stretch the cloth sufficiently tight to form an improvised brush, with which he was gingerly scraping away at the dust on his brown bowler hat; and I saw that his hair, which he wore short, was, though thick and curly, quite gray. Whether his fresh complexion, bright eyes and black mustache sug- gested some sort of contradiction to his gray hair, and thus tended to make him look out of the common, could l not at first say, but as I stared up at him I was conscious that there was something unusual, if not of distinc- tion, about the man.
 "Well--now that you have got your senses back-don't you think that you ought to be ashamed of yourself for obStructing the thoroughfare, pitching me off upon my head, not to speak of the damage you've done to the bicycle and to my arm?'
 He held up his left arm as he spoke, and saw that the sleeve was ripped J up, showing an ugly gash at the elbow.
 I'm very sorry,'' I said, unmindful
 of my own hurts, and with a want of
 spirit which was probably due to the

Especial to News and Observer
Salisbury, n. c.. Sept. 6.-Otficer j.
ID. Slate, of the East Spencer ponce
force, had a desperate encounter last
night with a drunken and unruly ne
gro whom he attempted to arrest for
boisterous conduct. The negro resist
ed the officer from the first approach
and with a shot gun, which he carried,
beat the officer over the head ana
shoulders, breaking one arm and IN
fiicting serious wounds in the mead
Officer Slate made four attempts to
shoot his assailant, but his pistol
missed fire each time, not having been
used for some time. The negro finally
escaped but was arrested later by a
posse of citizens and lodged in Rowan
county Jail to await trial. Mr.. Slate is
improved today and will recover.
Rowan Superior court convened
here this morning, Judge G.. M. Cook
presiding. There are a number of
criminal cases to be heard this term,
the most noted one being that Of
Chalmers j., and Thos. White, broth
ers, of Concord who are charged with
the killing Of Russell Sheriff., "a promi-
nent young man of Rowan county, a
year ago. 1t will be recalled that the
killing was provoked by the failure
of Sheriff. to marry Miss Annie White,
a highly respected young lady of Row
an. whom Sheriff. was accused of hav-
ing ruined. The White brothers went
to the home of young Sheriff. with
the avowed purpose of inducing him
to marry their neice. Her father be-
ing dead the Whites were her nearest
male relatives. The killing occurred
on the front porch of the Sheriff.
home. The Whites came to Salisbury
Immediately and surrendered and
were later released on bail.
Another important case to be tried
at the present term of court is that OF
Thomas Broadway for killing Mr.
James Reed, of this county, sever
years ago. Broadway made his es-
cape and has since been living il
South Dakota until arrested about 6
month ago and brought back to NORTH
Carolina by Sheriff Julian.

Heavy and frequent rains fell dur
ing the week in the southwestern part
of the State, especially in Cleveland,
Henderson, Lincoln and other adjoin
ing counties; elsewhere it was gem

The presence of sunshine and warm
weather proved very favorable for
farm work, particularly for saving
corn fodder: this work is being push
ed rapidly in all sections of the State
and is nearing completion in a num-
Der of localities. There are number
of complaints of barren and over
grown corn stalks; but the crop as a
whole promises to be a good one.
The outlook for the cotton crop is not
more favorable than last week; the
bolls continue to drop in all sections,
and the top crop will be very light.
Picking has commenced in the eastern
half OF the State, and several bales
have already been placed on the
market. Tobacco cutting and curing
is in full progress in the extreme
north central counties, where the crop
Is generally fair. although below
average; elsewhere curing is practi-
Cally over. Sweet potatoes as a rule
are good. Turnips, rutabagas and

nuts is quite favorable: there are
very few complaints of damaged fields
and the general reports show that the
crop is fair and will be slightly below
average. In the extreme western
counties threshinG of oats still con-
tinueS with favorable results, and
considerable land is being Dlowed for
rye and winter wheat. Peas are gen.

ing done for forage.

struck by a train. This morning ne
regained consciousness and gave ms
name as Joseph Robertson. He is still
too weak to give an intelligent account
of his injuries, except that ne was not
on the train. From the fact that he
stated in a lucid interval that he had
SIS in his pocket, and that man with
a stick hit him, and that there was
not a cent in his pocket when he was
found, it is supposed that he was way
laid and robbed. His left jaw is bro-
ken and there is a dangerous wound
on his head. Robertson is said to live
on the outskirts of town but his fam
lily have not yet been found. He is at
the hospital, and physicians say he will
