"White Woman, the Mother of a Negro Child.

Parties at the It. D. depot last Thursday witnessed a pitiable sight when the train arrived from North Wilkesboro. Among the passengers on the train was a white woman, apparently 35 years old. She had three children, one boy about 9 years old and a girl about 5 years of age.

The third one was an infant which the mother carried in her arms. She had its face covered with a white handkerchief. Strange to say it was a mulatto, but the woman claimed it as her child. When asked why the child's complexion was so dark, she replied that father was dark. Upon inquiry it was learned that the weman had been living with a colored man in Surry county, the name whom could not be learned, and that he was the supposed father of the child.

He was arrested several days age and sent to Surry jail. The woman was given notice to get out of the county at once, which she did. She got on the train at station and paid the conductor the fare for herself and little boy. It was un derstood that she had only cents left. The woman enquired for a restaurant and as soon as the train lett ror Greensboro she left the depot with her children, coming up Fourth street toward the court-house.

She had three bundles which the boy and girl aided her in carrying. Where the mother and children went no one appears to know. The two white children looked bright and intelligent. The little girl is handsome. FEDERAL COURT JURORS.

BISSELL RIPPED UP THE BACK.

A Personally Conducted Cassin' Spell in the Postoffice Department, Washington Letter, 13th, to Richmond Times There was blood on the face of the moon this morning in the Postoffice Department, and Postmaster General Bissell, as pale as a ghost and tremb ling with excitement, stood and re ceived one of-the severest and most cutting rebukes that ever a cabinet officer received. Honorable J. Marshall called at Mr. Bissell's office this morning to inquire when the charges preferred against the post masters at Abingdon, Wytuevine aua Big Stone Gap were to beinyestigatea. The Postmaster uenerai repnea: "Al ter a little while," and Mr.

Marshall, nolitelv thanking him turned to leave, as ne nearea ine aoor jnr. Bissell made some side remark about the impatience of some Congressmen, or something or tne Kina. in a mo ment the Congressman trom tnenintn district had tamed and in two min utes he had convinced the Postmaster General, the clerks, and the waiting Congressman that he was justly en titled to tne sobriquet or -uycione Jim."

Every North Carolina editoi knows the full meaning of the words "trials and tribulations" but none, perhaps, know them better than Joe Hendren, the Elkin Times. Joe came to Winston Thursday evening, stopping over "until Friday evening, when he left with a party of Elkin people the World's Fair. There was nothing to mar the pleasure of the editor until he discovered, he thought, that he had a bank check, given him by nugh Chatham, before he left home, that was going prove useless in consequence of which his trip to the World's Fair would necessarilyhave to be postponed. When Chathpni gave the check to Joe he remarked (by mistake) that he (Hendren) could get it cashed by seeing President Blair, of the Peoples' bank. The editor knew that the bank was not transacting any business, however he said nothing, but accepted the piece of paper in good faith, believing that Blair would give him the money.

Upon calling at the bank Joe, of course, was politely informed that no money could be paid out. This caused the editor to think seriously about his proposed trip to Chicago. He sat down and wrote a letter to Chatham saying that he could not get the money the check. is said that he also added: "Pray tell me, Ilugb, what I shall do about Time is short and I want you to wire mt at my expense." The letter went to Elkin on Friday morning's train and shortly after it reached its destination, Chatham sent Joe a telegram, the contents of which was something like this: "The cheek is on the Wachovia bank. Can't jou read?" Joe went to the bank, got his money and left Sept.

D. divisions, had a fight in Charlotte Thursday night ith John Crutch Meld, a Winston boy, who is now engineer. on the Carolina Central.

Another report that Dodson had called Crutchfleld a liar when he hit Dodson a stinging blow.

Dodson then knocked him down, when it is said, a lot of men standing by were about in a humor to take a hand themselves but were restrained by the police. Crutchfleld is a nephew of Captain Greene, General Manager of the D. system. The difficulty, it is understood originated over some news published in the Charlotte Observer about the discharge of several and con ductors on one or tne n. u.

systems. Dodson oaccused Crutchfleld with giving the information to the newspaper. THEY STOLE HIS MONEY- A Yadkin Citizen Who Drew His Mon ey outof the Bank.

II. G. Dun's Weekly Rcviev says: Retunns from every part of the country show decided improvement. Hopeful feeling prevails, money grows abundant at speculative centres and somewhat easier for commercial purposes. The number of establishments reported as resuming work, .11 wholly and 2ii in part, still exceeds the number closing, in for the past week, besides ten reducing force, so that the hands employed have somewhat increased.

The number of unemployed is still very large. The great industries are still far below their normal productiveness and part of the resumption of work has been secured by lowering prices and reducing wages. l'ut business is pulling itself together, and even the crop report has caused little depression in stocks. Several shoe factories have started in part, but are said to be not enough to keep half the force busy, though distinct improvement is noticed. In all, IS metal works have started in part, and six wholly, while lit have stopped and 14 have reduced hands ou wages.

The liabilities of firms failing have greatlv diminished. The failures reported this week have been only 314 against 321 for the previous week, and 1.14 last year, and in Canada 27 against 2S last year. BUADSTKKET'S KKl'OltT BradstreeVs says: The starting up of idle manufacturing industries has not been as conspicuous this week as last, and in most instances has been with reduced forces and on part time. The stimulated demand for staples at prominent cities in the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys remains the feature for the business week. In other respects there has been no real gain within a week, and the long-drawn-out indifference of the Senate to the wishes of an enormous majority of the business community has had a depressing effect on the commercial situation.

In addition last week's favorable features of tho money markets are in creased deposits. A heavy inllux of currency from the agricultural regions is reported, and extension or discounts by a few banks, but there has been no further increase in the volume ot gen eral trade throughout the country, the increase in the volume of banks closing within a week being more than accounted for in other ways.
