Train wreckers got in some of
dastardly work near Raleigh on Wed-
morning. About two miles
from the city they misplaced a rail on
the track of the Seaboard Air Line
with the intention of the
train from Atlanta when it should

train, which bad on a large number of
passengers, was more than an hour late,
and a freight train was permitted to
run on the of the vestibule.
When the freight reached the place
where the wreckers had the rail

Major Sidney M- Finger died at
Newton on Dec. 26th. He had
not been in good health for some
time but his death was a surprise
to his many friends in the State
whose esteem and affections he
shared to a very large extent.
Mai- Finger was born in Lin-
county, May 1837. As
a boy he worked with his father
on the farm and in the tan-yard,
and went to such public schools
as neighborhood afforded. At
the age of eighteen he entered
Catawba college, acting as tutor
daring his last year there- In
1859 he entered the junior class of
College in Maine, grad-
in 1861 with A B., and re-
his A- M. in 1865. He en-
the Confederate army, and
was made Quarter Master
geant, promoted to and
to collection of taxes
in kind in the Charlotte
district- In 1864 be was
promoted to and put in
charge of the collection of
in kind for the whole State-
After the close of the war he
entered profession of teach-
and was associated for nine
or ten years with Rev. J- C-
in conducting Catawba college,
the leading educational
of German Reformed
in State. He was an
excellent teacher and manager,
and from the active work
because of ill-health in 1874 in
which year he was elected by the
Democrats of bis county to the
House of Representatives. He
was elected to the Senate in 1876,
and re-elected in 1880- After re-
tiring from Catawba college he
became engaged in
and in cotton manufacturing-
In 1882 he was appointed a
