Lived for Fifty Years in a Freight Car.

Mrs. Amanda Allen died in a
Delaware town the other day.
She was seventy-eight years old
and had spent the last fifty years
of her life in an abandoned freight
car, the first Ole that was put in
service on the Delaware railroad.
Her husband, who died fourteen
years ago in 1856 started a gro-
Gerry store in one end of the car
and lived with his wife and seven
childred in the other. The old
woman kept up the business after
her husbands death and died
leaving quite a snug little fortune
for her children. To their credit,
be it said, that they repeatedly
urged the mother to abandon the
old car and purchase comfort
able home, but she maintained
that what had been good enough
for her all her life was good
enough for her still -Wil',ing-

Cash Drawer Robbed.

Concord, June 7.-While wait

the White Morrison Flowe Com

had arrived, Oarl Spears heard
the jingle of money at the drawer
III the cashiers stand and when
he reached the front of the build
ing he was in time to see the re-
treating form of a negro girl
emerging from the building. He
gave chase, but the woman was
lost to sight when she lodged
through the alley at Dove &
Bost's. This is the fourth time
the cash d aver at this store has
been robbed. The woman this
morning succeeded in getting only

Spears say that owing to the low
cut of his pedal x,remities he
was unable to sprint with the
mythical rogue. Minnie Springs

HOG CHOLERA.
Some Law on the Subject Which Owners
Of Hogs Should Know.

We learn that there have been
several cases of hog cholera in the
county. Several cases have been
reported from No. z township.
Frank Bost lost two hogs from
the disease, and several other peo-
pie lost some shotes. In order
that everything possible may be
done to stay this disease, we pub
lish some extracts from the State
law on the subject.
Sec. 3297.-If any person hav-
ing swine affected with the dis
ease known as hog cholera, or any
other infectious or contagious dis
ease. and discovering the same, or
to whom notice of the fact shall
be given. shall fail or neglect to
secure the diseased swine from the
approach or contact with other
hogs not SO affected, by penning
or otherwise securing and effectu-
ally isolat,ng them, so they shall
not have access to any ditch, Ca
nal, branch, creek, river, OF other
water course which passes by the
premises of the owners of such
swine, he shall be guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction
shall be fined not more than $50
Or imprisoned not exceeding 80
days.
Sec 3298.-If any hog or other
animal shall die with the hog
cholera or other infectious dis
ease, and the owner thereof shall
fail to burn or 80 bury the same
or to secure it from the reach or
contact with other hogs or other
domestic animals of value, or if
he shall throw or place such hog
or other animal i'll any ditch, Ca
nal, branch, creek, river or other
water courses passing beyond his
own premises, he shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon con-
shall be fined not more
than $50 or imprisoned not more
than 80 days.-Concord Times.

ENOCH ARDEN AGAIN.
Interesting Case Of Man and Wife Formerly
Of Davidson County.

The Lexington Dispatch of las
week told an interesting story o:
a Davidson county man who left
home about seven years ago ano
returned recently and found hi
wife married to another man. J
W. Davis was formerly a farmer
and whiskey distiller in Davidson
county. About seven years age
Davis was charged with forging
the name of W. Bailey, of Davie
county, to note for 5000. The
note was cashed by a Winston
bank and when Bailey denied en-
dorsing 1t the bank lost the mon.
ey. Davis was indicted for for.
gerry and disappeared, leaving a
wife and child. It is said his wife
heard from him occasionally for
a year and then lost all trace of
him. Four years ago Davidson
county man, who was in the west,
wrote home that he had read in a
San Francisco newspaper of the
drowning of John W. Davis. The
news was published in the Dis
patch and was accepted as a fact.
Mrs. Davis, an excellent woman
and devoted to her husband, fin
ally accepted as true, the rumor
of her husbands death, and about
a year ago married Joseph Riden-
hour and they now live at Nor
wood, A boy, the child of the
first marriage, is with his mother
and step-father. Last week Da-
Wis returned to his old home from
Texas and on being informed of
the situation went to Norwood
and asked to see his former wife.
She consented to see him in the
presence of another. What took
place is not known but the Dis.

The Eel Dropped from the Air.

W. E. Triplett, of Boomer, for
whose character the Wilk esboro
Patriot vouches, tells that paper
all interesting story about ALI eel.
Mr.. Triplett and some of his folks
we're on his farm on Warrior
creek when they noticed some
thing high up in the air which
resembled a corn stalk, and which
was falling at a very rapid rate
The speed at which it descended
caused them to regard it with
more than ordinary curiosity and
when 1t hit the ground they were
SOON at the place and to their
great surprise found it to be an
eel % inches long. It was badly
stunned but was alive and when
put into water it became very
much alive. Two bruises we're on
its body. The supposition is that
a crane or hawk lost its dinner
