ROBERT II. HIT DEAD.
End Comes at Summer Home at Mar
raganSett Pier.

Narragansett Pier, Il. I. = Con-
gresham Robert r. Hit. of Illinois,
died at his summer home here.
Heart failure following a long period
of increasing physical weakness was
the final ause of death. Mrs. Hit
and two sons, w. S. Hit and r. H.
Hit, were at the bedside.
When Congressman Hit, accompa-
MED by his wife, arrived at Kinney
Lodge, their summer home here, in
June, it was understood that the
Congressman was not in good health.
Robert Roberts Hit, for many
years a Representative from Illinois,
was born at Urbana, Ohio, January
16, 1884. He was the second son of
the Rev. Thomas S. Hit. When he
was three years old the family moved
to Mount Morris. ILL.,, which place
was his home for the remainder Of
his life. He had been chairman of
the House Committee on Foreign AZ
fairs for many years. He was a
friend of many Presidents and for
~forty-five years helped to shape the
policy of this country, especially in
foreign affairs. He started as a re-
porter and made stenographic rec
ords of the Lincoln-Douglass debates.

The corporation commission has
heard n of the complaints of DIS

The Raleigh & Pamlico Sound
Railway has arranged to haul cotton
and tobacco into Raleigh. 1t travers-
es a very fine country. As yet the
track is not in condition to permit
passenger traffic. The owners of the
road are not only very wealthy and
progressive men but they are careful
as well and SO are the officials. This
road will open a new territory to Raj
eigh and it is certainly extremely i'm
portant. The leaf tobacco market
here is being pushed with vigor, and
the citizens and the chamber of COM
merce are aiding it very materially
The three negro normal schools at
Elizabeth City, Winston-Salem and
Fayetteville opened Monday.

family graveyard that he came upon
while jolrneying through a sp~arsely
settled region of West Virginia:
There were three graves side by
side. The middle one was marked by
a marble slab, divided into three sec
tons and inscribed in the following
fashion:
In the top division was chiselled:
THEODORE JOHNSON, A JUST
MAN.
The second division bore a hand
pointing to the grave on the left, and
was inscribed.

pointing to the right, and was in

A'Heavy Loser.

Wilmington, Specialize United
States government is the heaviest
loser because of the recent gerat
storm on the coast. The breakWater
erected just below the present site
IF Fort Caswell, about fifteen miles
below Wilmington, some years az
has received damages from the effects
of the storm that will amount 10
from 100000 to $125,000. The break-
water which is about three and a
quarter miles long is composed Of The
new inlet dam and the SwaSh De
fence Dam, the former built to close
an inlet which broke through The
beach some years ago and the latter
to protect the beach from the cor
slant swash of the waves beating
upon it. These dams are built Ct
rocks with some copings and they
are from thirty to forty feet high
The stone coping Of the new Inlsl
dam formed Of granite blocks, weigh
ing from three to six tons each, Eas.
turned entirely over and the maJoF
ity of the heavy blocks were throT'
from thirty to fifty feet from thtnI
original foundation by the mgh'.F
force OF wind and wave. 1t seems
almost impossible that such could D.
but it is nevertheless true. Some Of
the blocks were thrown so far by fn1
terrific gale that no effort viii u
made to use them when the work Of
repairing the breakwater is beS'I.
The damage resulting from the ioII
of this stone top will alone amour
to $4,000.
