o POISONING
Death of Number of Animals Causes
Indignation Of Owners.

Some person or persons, it seems,
have decided to rid Lumberton of dogs
and to this end have adopted a meth
cd similar to those practiced in Lum-
berton in other years. Several dogs,
some Of them valuable animals, have
recently died from strynchnine poison
ing.
1t is said that the dogs have died of
strychnine administered by e a of
beef. The poison is placed in the beef
and the meat thrown to the dogs. Of
tentimes while they are at home. There
is apparently no clue Is to the parties
engaged in such sneaking, cowardly
work.
A dog owned by Mr. Hector McMi1-
Ian had commissions on the street Sat-
urday and attracted quite a crowd, but
by administering remedies, the life OF
the animal was saved. The matter has
caused much indignation upon the part
of persons in town owning dogs.-The

ED DAVIS ARRESTED
Believed to be the Man Wanted in Sal

Ex-Chief of Police W. A. Scott, of

night on train No. 35 and in his Gus

ductor, about ten days Ago.. Mr.. Scott
was i'll Rcidsyille On business and just

whom he had known of old, at the de-
pot and knowing that a negro by that
name was wanted in Salisbury he
took no chances but arrested him right
cn the spot. He fills the description Of
the Ed. Davis wanted in Salisbury, but
there is some doubt of his being he
right one.
Mr.. Scott communicated with the
authorities at Salisbury by phone last
night and they advised that the neg.o

A NEW BOOZER SCALPED
Hid Under Car to Sober Up, Train Did
the Work.

George Dufhn, a white giant from
Ithaca, New York, mortified at a spree
which he seemed unable to shake, re-
posed under a freight car near the
transfer shed at a late hour Saturday
night. He proposed to sober up then
and there and his intentions were
within an ace Of coming to the gooc.
The New Yorker evidently supposed,
in his maudlin condition, that the car
was stationary and was only aroused
t. a realization of his error when he
picked himself up an hour later scv-
eral feet from the track with his scalp
dangling from the back of his heaC.
A switch engine had hit the car and
knocked the man from the track.
A surgeon examined him and found
that the skull was not fractured
The scalp was sewed up and the New
Yorker is out today.-Salisbury Post.

The sultan of Turkey is up to his
usual dodge Of delay in the present af-
fair with Great Britain. If he does
not look out he will carry his tactics
too far this time. The British govern
ment is in no mood to put up with his
trickery in this matter of his encroach-
ing on Egyptian territory. He hopes
to gain by delay; but in the meantime
Great Britain is making preparations
to seize Turkish territory if her ulti-
matum is not complied with. The time
has almost expired for withdrawal Of
the Turkish troops, still no steps nave
been taken for doing so. Turkey will
exhaust the patience of Europe some
of these days and then there will! &c

RECOVERY FROM RARE DISEASE
The Tar Heel Whose Leg Ossified and
Dropped Off at Knee Now in Best
of Health.

Word is received from Columbia to
the effect hat Mr.. Henry Sykes, who
has chung to this sublunary sphere so
tenaciously, defying the assaults of a
complication of diseases and an army
of physicians, a combination which
would have killed ten ordinary men,
but which occasioned a loss to him of
only a leg, is once more up and doing.
Mr.. Sykes is the man to whom the
attention of the physicians throughout
the section was attracted sometime ago
when his leg ossifed and dropped off
just above the knee while the nurses
were giving it attention. The strange
disease did not affect him otherwise
and he now enjoys the best of health.

MIR. LINCOLN's PRIVATE CAR.

Some person has discovered the fact
that President Lincoln's private car,
which was also his funeral car, stands
uncared for and unprotected on a piece
of unused siding in the town of Joliet
It's owner has tried 20 sell it to the
commissioners of Lincoln park, Chica-
90, but they do not want it. In fact,
no one seems DESTROYS TO own it and
consequently the car is going to ruin
in it's exposed position. This is rather
strange in this day of craze for relics
Of all kinds. Now that public atten-
ton has been brought t this fact by
some enterprising newspaper man no
doubt there will be a demand, either
by relic hunters or some Of those who
revere the memory Of Mr.. Lincoln, for
the car that ii may be fittingly cared
for-or destroyed, for the latter would
seem more appropriate than { allow il
to remain as at present, rotting to
pieces in a railroad junk yard.

The republicans Of the senate Geem
to have made up their minds at last
to get together on the railway rate
bill. The railroads are given a pretty
wide swath in the proposed court re-
view amendments, but it is a great
improvement on what would be the
course in the courts were the bill left
without any restrictions on the powers
of the courts in the matter of %interlocu-
tory orders and i%njunctions. Under
present conditions it would be almost
impossible ever to secure final decis-
ion on any order of the interstate COM
merco commission. Both sides should
have the right of appeal from that
bOdy's orders, but the appeal should be
disposed of as speedily as possible. This
the Allison amendments provide for,
though they place very slight check OH
the railroads in securing injunc1ions
and ~iHterlocutory orders in case OF
every decision against them by the
commission.

About a year or so ago, when zeal
GUS evangelist and his band of follow
ers came to this city, house to house
visitation was one of the features in
their energetic campaign in behalf Of
religion. During this household can
wasting Brooklyn woman uninten-
tionally gave one of the tract distribu-
tors a peculiar opinion of the tastes of
one family in this borough. On a cer-
tain Wednesday the tract man came to
the door and with a bow and a prayer
and a superior smile left his volume
of religious pamphlets for the inspira-
ton of the family. Not more than an
hour later a business like advocate of

and left samples of world renowned

any self-respecting citizen who refused
to admit the charms of his new article
was not worthy of the right of citizen

and the health food reposed in peace.

Miss Agnes Mahony, a missionary
to Liberia, was visiting Philadelphia
with two African slave girls that she
had bought for SIS apiece.

savage physicians operating on saw
age patients with pieces of broken
glass, of men content and happy If
their wives provided them with
enough rice to support life on, of s
climate so humid that a few months
residence there impaired the white
mans health
She relieved the gloom of her nara
tive with a description of pilot.
This man was a character-a she'll

once bringing a ship northward. The
captain, toward sunset, babe him go
