Woman Thrown Into Jail for Debt.
Considerable comment was heard
here last week concerning the case of
an old woman, a stranger, who was
thrown into jail because she was unable
to pay her board. The woman in ques-tion,
Mrs. Kaiheriae E. Carnman, ac-companied
by a young daughter, came
to Greensboro from Philadelphia sev-eral
months ago and stopped at Mrs.
Cooper's, boarding house, on West
Washington street. The daughter se-cured
employment iu the Harry-Belk
Brothers Company's store, but gave up
the position some time ago to go on the
road with a sister, who is said to be a
representative of some corset house.
The two daughters left their mother
alone in Greensboro, without friends
or money. Mrs. Carnman was unable
to pay her board, but told her land-lady
that she would s<)uare her in-debtedness
as soon as she received
some money she was expecting from
Philadelphia. She said that she and a
sister were joint owners of valuable
property near Philadelphia, and it was
rent money from this that she claimed
to be expecting.
Mrs. Carnman remained at her board-ing
place until her indebtedness

Deplorable Accidents.
William Sullivan, an employe of
the Coulter & Lowery Company,
proprietors of the Finishing mill, was
instantly killed yesterday afternoon.
The unfortunate young man was at
work iu the company's box factory,
when he was caught by a loose belt
and hurled with great force against a
pulley. The force of the blow was
sufficient to break his back and the
young man fell to the floor a corpse.
The dead man was about 27 years old.
Fred Hood, a conductor on the
Southern Railway, and Joe Weaver,
an employe in Superintendent Coap-man's
office, had a narrow escape
from death yesterday afternoon. As it
was, both young men were the victims
ofa horrible accident. They were stand-ing
on the main line track, near the
passenger statiqn, when northbound
train No. 86 came in. They stepped
out of the way of the approaching train
and get on a parellel track just iu time
to get in the way of an approaching
engine. Both were kaockeddown, the
engine passing over the left leg of each.
Hood's leg was so badly crushed that
physicians auuouueed immediately
that it would be necessary to amputate
just below the knee.

MARKET REPORT.
The reeeipts on our market for the
past week were rather small, owing to
the harsh weather and the fact that
farmers were busy with their farm op-erations,
making preparations for an-other
crop. The quality of the offer-ings
was very good, with the exception
of a good deal of moldy tobacco, which
was apparently caused from the wet
season we had a week or two ago,
when farmers packed down a good
deal of their tobacco iu soft order and
it damaged before they were aware of
the fact. Tobacco iu good condition
was in good demand at little better
prices than for the previous week and
the market was active on all desirable
tobacco sound and in good condition.
We regard it a good time to sell the re-mainder
of your tobacco and would
advise winding up your crop as early
as convenient.
