Met Death in the Discharge of Duty.
While engaged in the performance
of his duty last Wednesday afternoon
Mr. Carl Kirkman, a Southern Railway
firemen, met with a horrible accident
that resulted in his death some hours
later. When the accident occurred
Mr. Kirkman was oleaningouttheashe
pan under his engine, which wasstand-ing
on the yard in this city. Several
freight cars, which were being shifted,
were shoved against the engine, which
was set in motion. A revolving wheel
crushed Mr. Kirkmann's right leg and
left arm and shoulder in a most horri-ble
manner. He also received serious
internal injuries. His body was so en-tangled
with the maohinery of the
locomotive that it required fully fifteen
minutes to extricate him.
The wounded man was carried to his
home in the western part of the city
and everything possible done for the
relief of his suffering, which was in-tense.
Dr. Brodnax and Dr. Michaux
were summoned, and after an examina-tion,
they decided that it would be neo-essary
to amputate Mr. Klrkman's leg.
He was so weak, however, from the
nervous shock and loss of blood that it
was considered unwise to perform the
operation just then. It was evident
from the first that the chances of re-covery
were very slim, and after a few
hours of suffering, Mr. Kirkman
breathed his last about 9 o'clock Wed-nesday
night.

loved ones and several railroad

MARKET REPORT.
The farmers offering tobacco for sale
on our market for the past week have
been few in number, but the old adage
has held good, that "The more the
merrier, but the fewer the better
share." The few that have been here
this week have been well paid for
whatever trouble they may have been
to in preparing their goods for market.
The quality of the tobacco being
offered on this market for the past
week has been about in keeping with
that of the previous weeks, but the
prices have been well maintained to
the best we have had this season.
All our buyers have been out in full
force and seemed eager for the weed,
which gave the market a very active
tone and held the prices up to the top.

A Quiet Election.
The municipal election Monday was
one of the quietest ever held in Greens-boro,
owing to the fact that only one
ticket was in the field. Out of a total
registered vote of 1,745 only 422 votes
were cast, but under the circumstances
this was sufficient, so far as the candi-dates
on the Democratic ticket were
concerned. The vote received by each
of the candidates was as follows :
For mayor—Col. W. H. Oaborn, 413.
For aldermen—B. H. Merrimon, 397;
T. D. Sherwood, 401; G. W. Denny,
407; J. D. Helms, 392; W. T. Sergeant,
399; II. J. Elam, 401; Neil Ellington,
399; J. Y. Joyner, 400; E. E. Bain,
400; John Lewis, 40b; G. T. Glascock,
391; J. H. Pbipps, 346.
The mayor and aldermen met last
night and ware sworn in, but trans-acted
no business of importance. They
will meet again Friday night and elect
police officers, a city clerk, city attor-ney
and other officers.
that any of the lost grounds will be
recovered. Mr. O. Wemple, president
of the Danville tobacco association, re-ports
that market as having sold 12,-
861,318 pounds less tobacco this year
up to the first of May than was sold on
that market for the same period of last
year. Mr. A. M. Coleman, piesident of
the Winston tobacco association, re-ports
that market as being 5,309,655
pounds short of last year, and thus I*
goes all the way down the list. The
little that the farmers still have will
come in during May and June, and
notify all the property owners between
(he dam of the Revolution cotton n.i'ls
and the waterworks station to drain
the land and clear the steam so that
there will be aw unobstructed How of
water. All low places that cannot be
drained are to be tilled, and the dam at
the Revolution mills is to be lowered
to a height of not more than five feet
above the water below the dam. The
authorities of the State Normal and
Industrial College were instructed to
build a reservoir at the outlet of their
sewer that will retain all solids for a
period of one year. The city was also
requested to see that i.o sewerage is
emptied into North Buffalo.

M. M. Austin, a civil war veteran, of
Winchester, Ind., writes : "My wife was
