The council met in special session with

matter, and. as an amendment, or
modification Of q former proposition to
erect third story and rent or leaseit
to the Pythians for term of ninety
nine years for $4,000. the council pro-
posed to erect q third story and lease
the same to the Pythians. to be used
for lodge purposes only, for the actual
cost Of constructing the additional
story and the cost Of providing right
of-way through the first and second
stories to the third. The Pythians will
have the right Of sub-renting or leas-
Ing the hall to any kindred organiza-
ton by first submitting any and ali

The body of Joe Campbell. colored,
who wis killed ON the 18th Of january
last, by falling from the bridge being
constructed over Catawba river, was
recovered last Friday evening. It was
found lodged against the walls OF the
old Ivy mill pond. about ten miles be-
low the bridge. The body was In q
very good state Of preservation when
| found. II vas thought at the time the
accident happened that the negro was
killed almost instantly by. railing on
the false timbers Of the bridge before
he reached the water. A fracture OF
the skull supports this theory and
proves almost sconclusively that death
did nos result. from drowning. 4. .sii5
