The electric company had considera-ble
difficulty in operating its street care
last week by reason of one of the big
dynamos at the power house giving
out. Saturday and Sunday the sched-ules
were improved, but Sunday night
the current failed completely and no
carscould.be operated until late last
night.
Three old buildings on the Whitting-ting
lot opposite the couuty jail were
removed last week, and after the place
is cleaned up it will be recognized as a
very valuable piece of unimproved
property. The old buildings, or shan-ties,
as they might best be termed, had
a "history," but they should have
made way long ago for modern struc-tures.
Mrs. J. R. Pearee, of this city, re-ceived

Iu mayor's court Friday moruiug
two fines of $12.50 each were assessed
agaiust the Southern Railway for
blocking the South Kim street crossing
more than the prescribed time, five
minutes. Mayor Brandt stated that
numerous complaints had beeu made
recently about the b'ockiug of this
crossing and that hereafter heavier
lines would be imposed, when viola-tions
of the ordinance was established.
The Gate City base ball league has
disbanded for the season without com-pleting
the schedule of games, as it
is difficult to keep up iuterest iu the
game when there is so much to dis-i
tract the attention of the fans. liees'
; Indians had the lead in the league and
: would probably have lauded the pen-nant.
In the event the state league is
not formed next year the local league
will be reorganized early iu the season,
so the schedule can be completed be-
I fore the season gets so late.
Mr. G. G. Whitesell, living near
; Midway church, lost a barn ol nice to-b.
ivco by fire Saturday afternuou. The
: tobacco was growu by his cropper,
i Thad May, who was curing it at the
time of the lire. Mr. May left the
I baru for a few minutes to go to ins
; home nearby, and when he returned
> the structure was in llamen. A horse-
I power aud a stack of hay standing
i near the tobacco barn were also burned.
Mr. Whitesell estimates his loss at
about $200. There was no insurance.
Many people are unaware that it is
now agaiust the law to hunt on an-other
mau's land without permisnion,
whether the land is posted or not, but
such is the case. Many farmers whose
lauds were not leased have beeu great-ly
annoyed in recent ^ears by reckless
hunter-, mostly amateurs, who seem-ingly
have no regard for the rights of
others, and they welcome the enforce-ment
of the uew law. Most of the
leased land is iu the care of overseers
whose busiuess it is to care for the
game and prosecute trespassers. Game
promises to be plentiful this season,
thanks to the efforts of the Anduboa
Society.

Juigc Council's Illness Causes Adjourn-ment
of Criminal Court Term.
On account of illness that bad
troubled him for a week or more Judge
Council was compelled to adjourn the
September term of crimiual court last
Wednesday evening and he left the
following morning for bis home in
Hickory, where he has since been quite
sick. Some improvement In his condi-tion
is now reported. Perhaps half
the cases ou the docket were disposed
of. Many of the jail cases were tried
in open court, while in others Solicitor
Brooks, under the authority vested in
l.im, accepted submissions and im-posed
sentences for minor offenses. In
this way it was possible to clear the
jail of most of its inmates. Twelve
prisoners were sent to Major McLver's
csinp, eleven to Capt. Tyson's camp,
aud six to the workhouse. J. F. Jar-relI,
convicted of stealing a horse and
buggy, was sent to the peu for two
years, as he pieferred that to the roads.
The grand jury, which remained in ses-sion
until Friday afternoon, examined
72 cases and fouud 68 true bills. The
grand jury report as lo the court house,
jail, county home, workhouse and con-vict
camps was favorable, except that
a recommendation was made that sep-arate
sleeping quarters be provided for
the wiiite aud colored men in Major
Mclvei's tramp. As it is uow the
white men sleep on one side of the
stockade and colored men on the other.
They eat at separate tables. The com-niissiouers
will apply for a special term
of court to clear the criminal docket.
Daughters Arrange for convention.
Saturday afternoon Guilford chap-ter,
Daughters of the Confederacy, met
at the residence of the president, Mrs.
R. F. Dalton. The meeting was well
attended aud many matters of impor-tance
were discussed. The local chap-ter
is very much interested in the state
convention, which is to be held here
October 8-11.
Letters of acceptance have been re-ceived
from many of the chapters
throughout the state and a large at-tendance
is expected. The delegates
from the local chapter to the couven-tion
are Mesdamcs John N. Staples, K.
J. Justice, C. M. Vanstory, aud 8. L.
Gilmer, and Miss Alice Nelson, with
Mrs. R. F. Dalton, ex-officio. Guilford

Injured by Fall From a Street Car.
Miss Grace Apple, the fourteen-year-old
daughter of Mre. R. B. Boone, step-ped
or fell from a street car Suuday af-ternoon
near Gleuwoed, aud it seemed
to those ou the car that her escape
from instant death or serious injury
was almost miraculous. The girl bad
been up town aud started home ou au
open car about four o'clock. As the
car ueared the intersection of Glen-wood
avenue aud Oak street she step-ped
down on the running board of the
car, evidently intending to get oil' at
Oak street, as her home is nearby, but
the car did not slacken its speed there.
Without waiting to signal the conduc-tor
she stepped off aud was thrown
dangerously near the wheels. Fortu-nately
her injuries were nothing worse
than painful bruises and scratches.
The car was stopped and the girl was
taken to the residence of Mr. O. A.
Staibuck nearby, where a physician
who was summoned fouud that no
bones were broken. After recovering
somewhat from the shock the girl said j
the could not tell just how she got off
the car.
Rev. Dr. Detwller Seriously III.
i
Rev. Q. H. Detwiler, D. D.. pastor of
West Market M. E. church, South, has
beau quite sick for a week or more with
an affection of the lungs which pro- ]
dmed several hemorrhages and left
him iu a weakened condition from j
which it will take him some time to |
recover. He became ill at Mooresville
the fore part of last week, just at the'
opening of the exercises which were to .
include an address by him, and re-,
turned home feeling quite badly. The {
hemorrhages were checked Wednesday
evening and be is since resting as com-fortably
as could be expected, but un-der
the most favorable circumstances
it will be some time before he can re-sume
his pastoral duties, even in a lim-tery.

Reception to Mr. Bryan.
Plans are being perfected for a ban-quet
and reception to Hon. William
Jennings Bryan on the evening of Oc-tober
Kith, and it will develop into an
event of much more than ordinary so-cial
and political iuterest, judgiug from
the preliminaries already undertaken.
Several men prominent in Democratic
rauks throughout the state will re-spond
to toasts aud it is probable that
there will bs a deliverance ou vital
questions from Mr. Bryan that will at-tract
the attention of the whole coun-try,
Mr. Bryan is to speak at the Cen-tral
Caroliua Fair on the Kith, and ev-erything
be may say here will be worth
hearing. The attendance at the fair
on Wednesday will probably surpass
that of all "big days" nt foimer fairs,
by reason of Mr. Bryau's presence.

The Klrmess a Great Success.
The Kirmess giveu by the civic
league at Lindley Park last week ful-filled
the expectations of its promoters
and patrons. Notwithstanding the
poor car service Thursday and Friday
the crowds at the park both afternoons
and evenings were large, and every
feature of the kirmess was well patron-ized.
The amateur theatricals at the
Casino, arranged by Prof. R. Blinn
Owen aud Mr. Abe Mendenball, were
very creditable, displaying some of
Greensboro's local talent to good ad-vantage.
Nothing better could be said
of the refreshments than that tbey
were all "absorbed"\with evident rel-ish.
To the many good women who
are actively identified with the civic
league work must be ascribed the credit
for the great measure of success which
atteuded the kirmess. It was admira-bly
planned and delightfully executed,
thus meriting the liberal patrouage ac-corded.
The net proceeds will be spent
iu beautifying the city.
many people, all of whom earnestly.
hope that he may soon be restored to '
health.
Mr. Worth Ross came home from
Washington Friday afternoon to re-cuperate
from his recent illnees. The
last four miles of the journey was made
on a wood wagon. A few miles north
of the city a freight wreck blocked the
track, holding up several passenger
trains, and Mr. Ross, who had already
beeu delayed that day by two other
wrecks, concluded to take his chances
the rest of the way with a farmer who
was heading for town with a loud of
wood.
