Badly Hurt BY a Train.

Late Friday afternoon the in
coming Oxford and Keysville
train demolished a wagon be-
longing to the Star Bakery, and
the driver, Henry Williams, was
so badly hurt that he was sent
to the Lincoln hospital for re-
pairs. His wounds are not of a
serious nature, however.
Williams was driving across
the tracks down in the section
Of the city and the train was on
him before he knew itor before
the train could be stopped. The
rear wheels Of the wagon were
struck and the vehicle complete
ly demolished. The negro was
thrown out and a portion of the
wagon had to be removed from
him. He was not struck by the
train but the fall and a cut that
he received from a piece Of brok-
en- glass caused the trouble that
he now suffers. The horse was
not hurt in the least.

Darlington and Mrs. Flintom,
living in the country, became
frightened yesterday at the street
cars and backed the buggy in
which they were riding, into the
car, throwing Miss Darlington
under the buggy but doing little
damage.

only trouble and both ladies

Industrial News Sold.

Greensboro, N. c., April 3d.
w. l. Underwood, who was ap-
pointed by Judge Boyd as re-
ceiver for the Industrial News
and was afterwards appointed
trustee to dispose of the property,
this afternoon reported to
Referee in Bankruptcy Ferguson
that he had effected a sale of
the property to E. C. Duncan for
the amount of the mortgage,
eight thousand dollars, and re-
commended that this price be
accepted. Referee Furguson
later made en- order confirming
the sale upon the payment of the
purchase money.
The purpose of Mr.. Duncan
in bying the plant of the In
dustrial News, it is understood,
is to resume the publication in
Greensboro of a daily republican
paper. 1t may be under a new
name and is not expected to be
on so large a scale as the former
venture, although it will carry a
telegraphic service and will cater
to state patronage.
1t is rumored here that Mr.. z.
p. Smith, of Raleigh, will be
general manager of the business.
1t is not known who will be the
editor Of the new paper.
