Lost at the Last Moment.

In a magazine article on Max Won
Pettenkofer, who has been called h
founder Of scientific hygiene and, next
to Humbolt, the most popular Of all
German n~aturalists, Max Gruber tells
a storey OF the professors absent
mindedness. He lost a fortune in UNI
i~brellas, seldom bringing back what he
had taken away. Once, however, he
made trip as far as England and was
very proud Of having actually succeed
ed in bringing back his umbrella to
Germany. At Augsburg he stopped
ON business, but sent a telegram read
ing AT 6 o'clock I return with my
umbrella" He did return at 6 O'Clock,
but as he entered his house in Munich
he saw to his dismay that he had no
umbrella. He had left it at the tel
egraph station.

Especial to The Messenger,


Raleigh, y. c., May 31.-Feeling
appears to run pretty high about the
receivership of the Atlantic and
North Carolina railway. OF course,
there are two sides to this question.
as there are to every other, but there
is no doubt that the public mind Is
in a very tense state. Peop.a ask
what right a Federal court has to
put a state railway in the hands of
a receiver. Weeks ago the Governor
said that the road would never be
leased through the Federal court.
OF course, this is still the view. The
judge has said that he had nothing
to do with a Lease. The leading at
torney for the receivership has said
that the road will remain in the
hands of a receiver until it is leased
or put in perfect condition, this being,
Of course, a very indefinite statement.
Governor Aycock was seen regard
ing the status of the Atlantic and
North Carolina railway n said he
had received the order of Chief JUS
tice Fuller, of the United States SUI
preme court, suspending the order of
Judge Purnell, appointing a receiver
and leaving the road in the hands of
the state. He said a $4,000 bond
will be given tomorrow morning,
signed by James A. Bryan, w. H.
Smith, j. w. Granger, J. Harvey, r
w. Taylor and others. These will
arrive here tonight. The Governor
was asked if he expected this road
to ever again pass from the states
custody. and he replied:
NO. If it does, the Legislature
will be Immediately called together
for a thorough investigation of the
people and the motive back of them.
If this order of Chief Justice Fuller
a not come, the Legislature would
a been ca re dtogetheH with the
view to laying bare every fact con
nected with this premiership mat
ter"
Great satisfaction was expressed ar
the news of the abrupt termination

Improvements, said:

Following is the text of the order
of Judge Fuller, t~elegraphed to the
Governor:
1T is ordered that the operation of
the order of the Circuit Court of the

trict of North Carolina of May 2Sth,
appointing a receiver, be stayed and

DREDGE CREW CATCHES
BIG CATFISH IN SLOUGH

WOrIlmen employed in the dredge
work on the Fenton & Thompson rail
road at Fenton, says the Sterling Stan
dard, made a catch of fish that beats
anything ever done along that line in
this county for years. Their total
catch amounted to 300 pounds, while
they were only eight fish in the bunch,
the largest weighing Go pounds and
another 90 pounds, the other six rang
ing in smaller weights.
There is a small slough near Fen
ton running from the creek, and in
this the catch was made. There was
possibly a foot OF water in the slough,
and when the wOrkmen reached it and
began dredging they started up a
bunch of cat fish that looked to them
like a school of whales. The water
