Elizabeth City. n. c., Aug. 2.-As
the result of a serious accident at I
o'clock last night the steame Thomas
Newton, or what is left of it. is lying
at the bottom of the Pa~squotank River,
having been run into by a barge and
sunk.
The steamer had been away from.

In making the bend the barge crash
ed into the Thomas Newton With a
terrific force and she Immediately be-
gan to fill with water and sink.
The water rose to the lime, which
was ignited and set the boat on fire.
Efforts to save her aNailed nothing.
She rapidly burned down to the wa
ter'S edge, and her ruined hull is all
that is left of the we'll known boat.
The crew took to the boats, and
were picked up by the tug and
brought on to Elizabeth City, reaching
here about Il O'Clock.
No one was injured, though Capt.
Cohoon came very near being hurt.
IN the hurry of getting his boats off
he forgot his books and papers until
the fire had made considerable head

boat and made his way through the
smoke and fire to his office and
brought off his belongings after being
almost overcome by the heat and
smoke.
The steamer was owned by MeSSrs.

,AFlATFpNlTIES

The annual session of the Grand Lodge,
I. o. o. F., occupied two very busy even
ings, concluding about 1850 Thursday
evening with a short address by Represen-
tative L. @. Tirrell of Natick Mass, who
visited the Grand Lodge during the last
evening of it's session on invitation of the
grand master Mr.. Tirrell, in the course of
his remarks, complimented the Grand Lodge
upon it's expeditions manner of transacting
business, and contrasted the representative
system here with the past officer system
which prevails in the Grand Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, over which he presided as grand
master few years ago.
Much business of importance was trans
acted at this session. which was the first
under the recently amended constitution,
providing for sessions annually instead OF
semi annually, as heretofore.
The report of the grand master was re-
ceived with universal appreciation, and his
recommendations were all approved by the
Grand Lodge. The individual members were
very free in expressing the opinion that il
carried into effect the result would be Of
much practical benefit to the order. All
of his official acts grand master, fnciud-
ing the appointment of grand instructors,
installing officers, the granting of special
dispensations and his decisions on all ques-
tions coming up from the several subordi-
nate and Rebekah lodges, were approved
without a single criticism by the commit
tees to whom they were referred or the
Grand Lodge. The grand master was au-
thorized to issue an address semi-annually
dealing with matters which he may con-
slider of sufficient Importance and interest
to the order, and have it mailed to all
members in the jurisdiction.
The report regarding the visitations of
the grand officers to the subordinate and
Rebekah lodges showed a greater interest

This is rather a heavy title to give to a
slight bit OF fiction. The Castlecourt dia-
nond case was not very much of a mys-
terry, save as It was made such by tho Pc
culiar conduct of the participants. Laura
the Lady, a famous woman thief was
spotted at once by the detectives who
were summoned to consider the disappear
ance of the Castlecourt Jewels. Laura her
self confesses her guilt In her own state
ment. which follows that of Lady Castle
courts maid. As a matter of dramatic ar
rangement the statement of Mr.. Gilsey the
detective, should have come second. The
best part of the story Is that which relates
the ingenious manner In which Laura and
her husband managed to get rid CT the dia-
monds temporarily when pursued and later
how they recovered them. The denoue-
ment is afforded by Lady Castlecourts own
statement, which clears up one mystery
and shows how the laugh was on the
