Some of the letters contained proposals
from Western men.
Mrs Trask said they felt little weak
in the morning. but otherwise they fell
much better than they had for years, and
that Miss Townsend. in fact. was stronger.
Miss Townsend proved that she was all
right by walking to Hampstead, where she
did some shopping, and refused numerous
invitations to stay for luncheon.
Mrs. Trask began her fast six hours be-

THREE EMIGRANTS KILLED.
Train Loaded With Home Seekers
Crashes Into Locomotive.

A passenger train loaded with en-
igrants, enroute to the Wes1, run-
ming as the second section of No.
5, the Chicago Limited, on the On
tario & Western railway, was wreck
ed Is miles southeast of Norwich,
N. Y, at 2.15 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. Three passengers were killed
and 25 injured. The wreck occurr-
ed when the emigrant train crashed
into locomotive running light. The
engineer, and fireman of the train
escaped serious injury as if by a
miracle.
The train was made up of eight
coaches and an engine, and carried
371 emigrants. 1t was running
about thirty miles and up the heavy
grade, and the light engine making
about 25 miles struck it head-on.
When the collision occurred the first
passenger coach, an old one, imme-
diately behind the engine, was
crushed to pieces, the tender Of the
engine passing nearly half through
it. All the injured were in this
car, as the other seven coaches of
the train remained on the track. y

Gen. Boyd, Col. Brock went to Gov.
Ansel and insisted upon thorough
investigation of his entire record as
assistant adjutant and inspector gen.
eral of the State.
Gov. Anssl after taking the matter
un.:er advisement for some time, ap-
pointed the court of inquiry. AT the
hearing before the court of inquiry,
which was appointed to get the facts
in the case, many matters of inter-
est were developed. The most i'm
portant matter brought out was the
lax business system Of the office of
adjutant and inspector general.
It is very probable that the office
of aGjutant general will be made an
appnir tive one. This opinion has
been expressed freely in military cir
c,es Cf tho State and since the situa-
ton in the aijutant generals office
h., been SO thoroughly aired and the
people have been shown just how the
office is run, it is expected that with
in the next two years the militia OF
the State will ask that the Legislature
make the office appointiye.

Diver saw their danger, leaper for

against his car and his clothing
burst into flames.
AS scores of people looked on
shuddering at the spectacle of the
burning man, some one sprang for
ward and smothered the flames with
a coat. Diver was then lifted and
borne to the bank of the Potomac
river nearby where water was
thrown on him and fruitless efforts
made to bring him back to con-
sciousness. 1t was long after he
reached the hospital that he regain

and who had risen and come to his
side, was told that there was little

LIFE TOO LONELY

Body Found Cold in Death in Gene

Pierced by Bullet.

Cold in death, his death pierced
w pistol bullet. the body of Mr.
D. liam Skinner was found in Oak
I'd cemetery, Concord, N. c., Sat-
/, iday evening. The weapon of de-
struction was lying near the body,
bearing mute witness to the tragic
ending of good man. The deed
had been committed some two hours
before the body was discovered.
Mr.. Skinner was going toward the
cemetery about four o'clock, but was
not seen afterwards, until three la
dies strolling through the cemetery
came upon his lifeless form. They
Immediately notified the police and
Coroner Caldwell was summoned,
but after viewing the body decided
that an inquest was unnecessary and
the remains were turned over to the
undertaken.
Mr.. SINNERS mind had evidently
become unbalanced. Since the death
of his wife he had not been in his
usual spirits and at times was very
respondent and gave evidences of
insanity. He called at the post Of
flee last Thursday and enquired
about his mail, saying he was pen
niless and was looking for a let
ter from his landlady in Charlotte.
In his coat pocket two notes written
on an old bill-head were found. They
were numbered one and two and
are as follows:
Note No. 1T am lonely faith

Mr.. Skinner was 60 years old and
was a timer by trade. He was we'll
known in Concord, having spent
the greater part of his life at Con-
cord. He was a hard worker, straight
and honest in his dealings and low

RAINS HURT COTTON.
Favorable Week Reported for Crop
Except Three States.

The Commercial-Appeal Of Mem
phis, Tenn, Monday published the
following summary of the cotton
crop conditions:
The past week was favorable to
the cotton crop except in the two
Carolinas and parts of Georgia
where the rainfall was excessive,
washing the fields and delaying cul-
tivation so that grass is feared. The
Carolina fields were damaged by
flooding. Otherwise it appeared that
a week of bright weather will repair
much of the loss.
'"The crop has not grown rapidly
and is still small for the season.
the plant generally looks healthy,
however, and would grow very fast
with high temperature day and
night. In many sections where
there are complaints, correspondents
anticipate much better reports next
week if the weather is warm. 1t
would seem that week OF dry
weather would put the crop in eX-
celent shape as to cultivation over
the South.
,"In Texas the soil is dry but as
vet little hurt has been received.
Moisture is needed, however, to
stimulate plant growth. Boil wee
wills do not appear numerous, al
though in Mississippi and some sec
tions of Louisiana they are more SO.
In general dry, warm weather is
needed in east Texas and Oklahoma
while rains would be beneficial IN
these two states.

ASSIST UNHORSED LADY.
Gallant Capt. Archie With President
in Auto Offer Aid.

That IAN invitation from the

woman Sunday in Washington, when
Mr.. Taft invited her to take ride
il his automobile. The President
however, did not feel that he had
suffered a rebuff, as the invitation
had been extended merely in de-
sire to assist.
Accompanied by his aide, Captain
Butt, the President was taking d
spin in his handsome car. AS they
drew near young man and young
woman who were on horseback, the
mount of the latter stumbled and
fell, throwing its rider. Captain
Butt sprang from the machine ana
ran to her aid, the President anx-
iouslv looking on to see If she had
been hurt. He proffered the use
of his machine, suggesting that the
voung woman allow him to send her
home.
She declined ying, she would
rcnoupt. Captain Butt and her es-
cort assisted her back into the sad
die where she swayed dizzily for a
momeut. Again the Presi cent ten-
de-ed the ust. CT his car, but again

ned murder of Moses Sachs, :.:e
aged jeweler, who was murdered fer
$4,000 worth of diamonds and $500

autopsy shows that the old man was
