Washington Dispatch, 26th, The court of inquiry, which is to investigate the controversial points in connection with Admiral Schley’s conduct, during the Spanish war, will be composed of Admiral Dewey, president of the court, and Rear Ad- mirals Lewis A. Kimberly and An- drew E K. Benham, The court will meet at the Navy Department in Washington, September 12. Secre- tary Long announced these facts to- day. The judge advocate of the court has not yet been selected, and the prescript tothe court, which is being prepared by Captain Lemly, judge advocate general, has not yet been completed. The scope of the inquiry will not be known until the prescript and order for the conven- ing of the court are issued. It isex- pected that they will oe promulga- by the Navy Department tomorrow. ‘Secretary Long says, however, that the proceedings of the court will be open and that the widest laritude will be permitted in the matter of witnesses and that Rear Admiral Schley will be allowed to berepres- ented by counsel. 7be Secretary had nothing to say about the composi- tion of the court, except that he thought it spoke for itself and toex- press the hope that the membership would be satisfactory to all concern- ed. He pointed out that none of the officers chosen had, so faras he knew, expressed an opinion concern- ing what is knownasthe Sampson- Sebley controversy, and it was therefore to be presumed that they would eater upon their work in an impartial and unprejudiced spirit. _—_— EP <> Randolph Election Cases Compromis- ed. Asheboro Special to Raleigh News and Obser- ver, 26th, The exciting Randolph county election case, which was to occur at Asheboro tomorrow will not take place. The matter was compromis- ed this afternoon by the Democratic Sheriff, Lassiter, voluntarily with- drawing in favor of the Republican candidate, W. F. Redding, with the understand that the ease should be nol prossed and the other Democratic county officers remain unmolested. It seems that the elections in the two townships were accompanied with so many irregularities as to amount to a farce and the canvass- ing board threw out the two town- ships, thereby electing the entire Democratic ticket, whereupon the Republican candidates for sheriff, treasurer and register brought suit in the Superior court against the Democratic incumbents and sum- moned eyery voter in tke two town- ships toshow how each one voted. The trial was to occur tomorrow be fore JudgeCoble. Able counsel was empioyed on both sides and party feeling throughout the county was running high. The trial would have been along one and would have cost possibly ten thousand dollars. To save this cost and bad feeling Sheriff E, C. Lassiter made this offer, and lawyers for the plaintiff eagerly accepted. His self-abuegation makes him the hero of the bour. Sheriff Redding is a brother of A. E Redding, the Democratic representative, and has never been considered a Republican to hurt, he has been kept sheriff for years by Democratic as well as Re- publican votes. Doe A Boom for Roosevelt Launched. Kansas City Dispatch, 26th. Fifty prominent Kansas City Re publicans today organized a 1904 Theodore Roosevelt Club. Its pur- poses are these: ‘‘Tosecure the nom vation of Vice President Roosevelt for President in the Republican na- tional convention in 1904; to have this convention held in Convention Hall, Kansas City, and to have Mis souri present a solid Roosevelt dele- gation in the convention.”’ A public meeting, under the aus- pices of the club is planned to be held in Kansas City soon, at which United States Senator Burton, of Kansas, and others will be asked to deliver speeches. The Droughta Judgment from the Lord. Galesburg, Ills., Dispatch, 26th. In;the ruinous drought now spread ing over thecrop districts, Rev. O. C. Bedford, pastor of the Knox Street Congregational church, of this city, sees the hand of the Al- mighty. In his sermon last night ne told his hearers it was the pun- ishment of God for national wicked- ness and the turning away from prayer. ‘Tf this drought will brinz people to their knees in prayer and will cause the salvation of souls,’’ he prayed, ‘then, O Lord, let us have the drought.”’ Rev. Mr. Bedford maintained that the people of the United States are more wieked in some respects than the people of any other period in the history of the country. Family worship, he said, is being dropped and there is no power in the Church. God, he added, is therefore taking away thecorn and is thus leading the people to prayer. ‘Some people,’’ be exclaimed, “‘will suffer from ‘the drought, but this physical suffering will be less than if God gave the people plenty and all went down to hell together. If the drought will induce the people to pray, I hail the time when we shall havea still greater drought than this.”’ SS Case of Criminal Neglect in Moores- ville. Mooresville Enterprise.

The Schley Court of Inquiry Appoint- | House Dynamited in Montgomery County. Albemarle Dispatch, 26th, A dastardly crime was comuitted at Nali’s postoffice, Montgomery county, twelve miles from here, n:gbt beforelast. ‘Lhe house where Mrs. M. A. Smith was sleeping was blown up by dynamite and the oc- cupant severely_ injured. Mrs. Smith owns considerable property and ber home place consists of three houses. One of them is a large frame building, then a smaller house use fora sleeping room and another one.used as akitchen and dining room. It wasin thesmaller house that Mrs. Smith was sleeping. Be- tween the hours of 12 and 1 o’clocka terrific explosion was heard and timbers were flying in every direc- tion. Three joints of dynamite were placed under the house, but as fate would have it, in the corner where Mrs. Smith’s bed stood. no dynamite was placed. The lady is not injured externally but the shock she receiv- ed has caused her to take to her bed. Ancther bed in the house was blown through the roof; a trunk was Knock- ed through a table and a brooch which she hac worn the day before was foundupa tree in the yard, whither it was blown by the explos- ion.~ Her niece from Montgomery, Ala., wasin the larger house and was awakened by the screams of Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith was postmaster at Nall’s and the government at Wash- ington has been wired to send an in- spector at once to look into the mat ter. Mrs. Smithis quite a noted characterin Stanly and Montgom- ery being a woman of mnch wisdom and business sagacity. She has doubtless several enemies and sus- picion is pointed quite strongly to some of them as the perpetrators of this dastardly crime. The commun- ity is considerably aroused over the occurrence and it is to be hoped that the guilty parties may be brought to justice. An Insane Man Shoots S1x Persons. Leavenworth, Kan., Dispatch, 26th. Michael Kelly, an insane man, to- day at the oflice of the Robert Gar- ret Lumber Company, in the busi- ness district, shot six people, killing one, probably fatally wounding and more or less seriously wounding four others. He was himself finally kill- ed by officers who tried to overpow erhim. The victims: John R. Gar- rett, aged 40, junior member of the firm of the Robert Garrett Lumber Company, died at hospital; ¥ichael Kelly, aged, 50, died after being tak- en tothe police station. Injured: Dr. Charles McGee, aged 30, shot in back and probably fatally wounded; Police Sergeant Wm. Dodge, shot in neck; wound serious; Michael Mce- Donald, detective shot in leg, slight; Jos. Falthger, policeman, shot in hand, wound slight. Keily had lived in Leavenworth for years and at different times had ergaged in minor business enter- prises. He was arrested and ad- judged insane. Garrest, and four others testifying against him. Aft er a year in the Topeka sylum, Welly was released. Hehad been acting queerly again and had declared that he would kill the five men who-had sent himtothe asylum For two weeks he has been practicing shoct- ing with a revolver daily at the Fort Leavenworth range. Last night he drank heavily. Soon after 12 o'clock today heap peared at Garrett's office and with- out warning shot Garrett as he sat at his desk. Garrett fell to the floor and Kelly deliberately fired four more shots into the prostrate form. Leaving his victim for dead, Keliy ran tothe rear of the company’s lumber yard and began reloading his revolver. Presently he returned to the office to find Dr. McGee, who had been attracted by the shooting, bendiog over Garrett, Levelling bis revolver, Kelly took aim at tke physician and fired. The bullet struck McGee in the spine, and he toppled over near where Garret lay Then followedan exciting street fight between the madman and of- ficers who came upon the scene. Kelly, flourishing his revolver, dash ed through the lumber yard. He met Ike Heater, a laborer and shot him in the hand. A few yards further on he encountered Sergeant Dodge. The two exchanged shots as they ran. One bullet from Kelly’s reyolv er struck Dodge in the neck, but not before that officer had shot himin the shoulder. Kelly kept running and was scor confronted by Detec tive McDonald and Officer Fiather. McDonald dropped Kelly witha bullet in the neck. Dodge raised his reyolver, but it failed to work and catching up with the murderer, he crushed his skull with the weap- oo. Kelly was carried to the sta- tion in an unconscious condition. He died soon after his arrival there. Garrett did not regain conscious- ness and died an hour after being taken to the hospital. Dr. McGee is still suffering seriously and itis belieyed he cannot recuver. Dodge’s wound is not considered fatal, while the wounds of the others are slight.

L, Dispatch, 26th. 5 The screeching of a shell that proved to bave come from the Unit- ed States ship Kearsarge, and its explosion into fragments that broke a small piece of stone out of thenew city hall building on Broad way and cut a limb from a tree near by, caus- ed ysreat consternation among New port citizens shortly after 5 o’clock this evening. Half an hour later two officers came ashore from the Kearsarge, traced the shell to the city hall and obtained informatiom as to its passage over the city. They examined some of the pieces und pronounced the shell a one-pounder from the Kearsarge, after which they returned to the ship wlthout making any explanation. Later 1t was learned that the crew was called to quarters at 5 o’clock. The crews took their positions, pointe”. the. guns and went through the work of firing. A Nordenfeldt Maxim automatic gun inthe after fighting top went otf when the crank was turned. Immediately all on board were aliye and the officers were making hur- ried inquiries. The crews in the top declared that 2 shot had been fired, but that it had struck in the water just short of the wharves. The of- ficers were thereupon dispatched to the shore, in order to assure Rear Admiral Higginson that such was the fact. On the warf a scared party of fishermen were found who declared that something had passed over their heads screeching loudly. How the shot happened to be fired has not beenexplained. The matter will be thoroughly investigated. —— Murder in Henderson County. Hendersonville Special to Raleigh News and Observer, 27th. An ugly murder was committed Monday in this county, in the Clear Creek section, Clem McCoy, a negro of bad reputation, killing Eliza Shipman, the wife of a negro named Joe Shipman. Itappears that McCoy became enraged because he had been excluded from the church upon com- plaint of some of the female mem- bers, one of whom was Eliza Ship- man. A few weeks ago McCoy had charge of a festival, gottea up for the benefit of their church, and fail- ed to give an account of his steward- ship. applying the proceeds to his personal use. ‘*‘The brethren and sisters”’ strenously cbjected to this part of the program and proceedings were begun to recover the amount due—about $9. Upon hearing of the warrant, Clem surrendered the purse but it seems the trouble did not end bere. The matter was carried before the church and the “‘erring brother”’ was deposed, upon the charge of em- bezzling the church funds. Monday morning Clem, determired upon having revenge, procured a pistol and started out, as he said, to ‘*kill every d—n nigger that helped turn him out of the church.’’ Approach- ing Eliza Shipman, be inquired if she had assisted in excluding him and upon receiving a reply in the afllrmative, he drew his pistol and began firing upon her, four shots taking effect and killing her instant- ly. Only the small boy of the de- ceased, witnessed the tragedy. Me- Coy is still at large, though parties are searching for bim in the moun- tains. pe aes Shot to Death for Robbing a Clerk. MaconiGa,., Dispatch, 26th, A special to The Telegram from Vidalia, Ga., says: ‘‘Frank Earl, a negro desparado, who held up and robbed a commissary clerk, at Davis Camp, No. 2, ov the M.D. & S. Railway near here last Monday, was captured yesterday at Helena, car- ried to Hiegiston and put in the town jail. “This morning about 20 clock a crowd of unknown men took bim from the jail, carried him out a kaif mile from Higyiston and shot him to death. Earle admitted rebbing the clerk, but claimed he only wanted to collect what Contractor Davis owed him for work. On last pay day Davis had offered him his wages, but Earle refused to accept the money, Earle held upand robbed his clerk.”’ ~~» Seacoast Railroad Soli. Wilmington Dispatch. Wilmington to Wrightsville Beach has been a dream of pleasure and convenience that has lingered in the minds of the people of this city for years and The Dispatch is vlad to be able to apnounce witha degree of certainty that that dream wiil prob- ably be realized by next summer. There is a well founded rumor that a change of control of the Wilming- ton Seacoast Railroad has taken place and the transaction was brought about through Messrs. Hugh MacRae & Co., of this city. We have also learned on the same zood authority that it is the object of the purchasers to take up the question of conveying the present road into an up to-date trolly sys- tem. This will mean a great thing for Wilmington if the plans are success- fully catrried out, and there seems to be very little doubt about it. I[t will be a decided step forward for Wilmington and our resort will then be second to none on the South At- lantic seaboard. Charleston and Norfolk, our neigh- boring seacoast cities, have magnifi- cent electric lines to their resorts and they are the making of those watering places. The ride from the city to the beach would be a great pleasure and would be extremely popular as a ride, to say pothing of the artractions by the sea The controlling interest in the Seacoast road has been sold and if the necessary arrangements can be made, we are informed, a first class electric system will be put iu opera- tion between Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach within twelve months.

It has believ- ed that both officers were brave and competeut, worthy of the high posi- tions they have attained in the navy. Sampsen blundered when he wired that now notorious telegram: ‘The fleet under my command,”’ ete. The telegram was literally true, but it was not the message that a wise and broad-guayed man would have sent. The fleet was under his command, but he was not present. His ab- sence did not reflect upon him at all, but the e2yerness to deny honor to others lost him much popular re- spect. Butit did not forfeit re- spect for his ability or capacity, or proclaim him envious or mean-spirit- ed. His recent admission that he read the proof of Maclay’s book, in which Schiey is said to have ran away “‘iu caitiff fight,’’ and is, in addition, denounced as a ‘‘coward,”’ a “cur’’ and a ‘“‘traitor.”’ does, how- ever, show the meanness of his soul and cause him to forfeit the respect of his countrymen. It shows that he was wi.:ing that the students of the Naval Academy should be taught that the second highest officer of the American navy was a “cur,” a ‘“‘coward,’’ and a traitor."’ thereby showing a malice and spleen that was not far removed from traitorous conduct. ‘he investigation had to come soouer or laver, and the sa tional scaudsi had tobe cleared up. It isn’t vecy nice to be washing the nation’s sviled clothes in the full view of the whole world, but there seems to be no escape from it. —=> >—_ - _ — Peace, Brethren.

Chariotte Special to Raleigh News and Obser- ver, 25th, The first real day of the North Carolina Firemeus’ Tournment wes a decided success. The parade at 10.30 o'clock this morning was lengthy and in every respect a cre- dit to the fire fighters of this State. The only incident to mar the pleasure of the occasion transpired thisafternoon. In the horse hose wagon contest that took place at 2 o’clcck, Henry Coffey, one of the members of ihe Asheville company, fell from the wagon, just before the plug was reached and received in- jaries from which it is feared death will result. The young man was taken toa priyate hospital and is receiving every atteution. His in juries are of an internal nature. This incidert cast a gloom over the afternoon’s races, and should the worst come, Asheville will with- draw from all further contests. The first contest was an engine contest for quick steaming and dis- tance. There were only two en- tries, Winston and Charlotte. Win- ston won both. Time in quick steaming, 12 minutes, 5 seconds; distance throwing water, 211 feet, prize, $50. Second race, horse hose wagon race, first prize, $100; second, 350. Goldsboro No. 1 won first prize and Eclipse. of Goldsboro, secoud. Wil son’s horse balked and the accident to a member of Asheville team kept both these cumpanies from making any time.

Chicago pupils will not learn the ogame of the herd of the naval battle (of Santiago from their school his- tories for the simple reason the books don’t contain the information. The text book was written by John B. McMaster and was placed in the city schools just before the war b>- gun. Later eight pages were aaded -|to bring the work down to date, but the chapter devoted to the naval moyements fails to tell who led the American forces at Santiago and sent the Spanish men-of-war to the bottom. Admiral Dewey was given credit for the battle of Manila, but when the Santiago fight is mention- ed the writer merely tells of the at- tempt of Cervera to escape from the harbor and the destruction of the Spanish ships and the capture of a thousand prisons. . A Durham Man's Narrow Escape. Durham special to Raleigh News and Observer, 25th, : This morning tkere came vear being a serious accident at the Erwin Cotton Mills, in West Durham. The cylinder head, which weighs about 75 or 100 pounds, flew out of the dye kouse engine and landed out in the village, about 150 yards distant. Just before the acci- dent occured Mr. T. M.

The body was found or rather it came to the surface of the water in the exact place where the boy was drowned. The body staid under the water exacly three days. The boy probably had the cramp as his arms were in swimming posi- tion when his body wasfound. The water was 12 or 15 feet deep where the boy was drowned. The remains were interred in the cemetery about 7 o'clock yesterday evening. During last May an infant child of our neighbor was suffering from cholera infantum. The doctors had givenupall hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to the house, telling them I felt sure it would do good if used aecording to directions, In two days time the child had fully recovered.

Hehas borne a good re- putation previous to this time and itis a great surprise to all who know him. ; The facts in the case as given me are as follows: Allred has been em ployed in the Belmont Cotton Mills and boarding with the Petty family. Last night he was drinking ard did Mr. Petty left Allred and the little girl in a room this morning about 9 o’clock and went out to attend to some business, and when he return he found Allred with the little girl down ona pallet. His desizn clearly evident. The indignant father demanded of him to know what he was about, but he only jumped up and proceeded to make good his escape from the angry fath er. Mr Petty at once looked up a deputy sheriff and began a search for Allred. They were not able to find any trace of him, until be was located here this evening, just as he was about to take the 5:45 train. The officers carried him back to the scene of the attempted assault, which is about seven miles from this place, where he was tried before Justice Page and committed to jail without bond. The feeling against Allred is very strong, but there is no danger of the people taking the law into their own hands, andlynching him.

A rubber tube leading from the gas jet to the bed where the body was found toid the story of his death. Despondency, due to a nervous trou ble, from which the young man had suffered for years, led to the suicide. He had just passed his twenty-third birthday. He was the son of the eld- est daughter of the late Floyd Teyis., now Mrs. Frederick Sharkon. His mother is in Paris with her daugh- ter, Miss Florence. _ — oe - -—- The Brooklyn Bridge Sags. New Yord Dispatch, 26th. At 6:30 o'clock this evening a number of the vertical supporting cables of the Brooklyn bridge pulled out of their sockets and are now dangling in the air. The accident happened at the north side of the New York end of the bridge and this end sagged from 4 to 6 inches. This completely stopped all street traffic over the structure. but after temporary delay pedestrians and wagons were allowed to proceed. The vertical cables which pulled out were imbedded in the great cables upon which the bridge is hung. What caused the pulling out of the vertical cables is not known. The accident caused great excitement and the police reserves were called out When the bridge and Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company authorities found how greatly the damage had been exaggerated traffic was part- ially resumed. By 8 o’clock the bridge cars were running. Chief Engineer Probasco, of the depart- ment of bridges, said to-night that to morrow all traffic would be re- sumed and that. the broken rods would be replaced in two or three days’ time. The breakage, he said, was due to expansion, presumably from the heat. ——S_ oO The Pope’s Successer. Rome Dispatch, 26th. Although the Popeisin excellent health, the feeling prevails at the Vactican that a meeting of the Col- lege of Cardinals cannot be far od, and there is no secret that the can- didatestothe papacy are making elaborate preparations for this con- clave. One of the chief characteristics of the next conclave, according to a high prelate, will be the large num- ber of candidates for the chair of St. Peter, whereas, after the death of the former Pope, it is said there were only two or three candidates whose chances for the papacy were serious. To-day half the sacred college aspires to the chair and a first scrutiny is expected to show six or seven cardinals are favored for the pontificate. Those who are well informed anticipate a dead- lock, and the ultimate selection of an outsider who has not yet been meptioned. rr — Chairman Jones Says the Next Presi- dent Will be a Democrat.

The re- turns showed that Driver and Bowen were elected and they have held the two offices since. 4 contest was instituted in thecourtsand the coun- ty court declared Lowell and Rhodes elected. The Circuit Court held to the contrary and on appeal the Su- preme Court of Arkansas on July 13 sustained the county court and re- manded tke cases. Goyernor Davis thereupon revoked the commissions of the incumbents. The report reaching here is that the Driver and Bowen factions hold possession of the court house and refuse to vacate, while Lowell and Rhodes are sup- ported by a strong armed following and a clash is expected at any time. Driver and Bowen, It is said, dispute the authority of the Govern- or to revoke their commissions. Feeling runs high. Austin in More Trouble. Salisbury Dispatch, 26th. A capias for Rev. J. I. Austin, now in jail here for larceny, was re- ceiyed in last night’s mail from Ashe- boro by Sheriff Julian. The capias was issue on a true bill for perjoy found by the Randolph county graud jury yesterday. It is a result ofthe prosecution for libel instituted ‘in Randolph by Austin against The Mill News, of Charlotte. In the trial of this case, it will be remem- bered, the defendant proved that a | it had said of the prosecutor was! true and much more anc worse be- side. Solicitor Rush nol prossed the case and expressed regret that he had been led to place any faith in the gross falsehoods upon which Austin relied and had accordingly brought the indictment. It is upou Austin’s testimony as prosecutin g witness that the charge of perjury | is based. If he gives the $200 bond,in which he is held for larceny, as he does not appear to be able to do, it would be the duty of Sheriff Julian to hold him on the capias from Ran- dolph county, making it necessary for him to give a secoud and heavier bond.

EW YORK oo a Sata he LYNCHED IN MISSISSIPPI Two Women and One Man Hanged by a Mob for Murder. Carrollton, Miss., Dispatch, 2nd. The murder of Mr. and Mrs. Tal- liaferro culminated today in the Ivnching of Betsie McCray, her son, Belfield McCray, and daugbter, Ida McCray, all colored. Zhe mob was composed of about 500 white citi- zens of Carroll county, who marched to the juil, demanded the keys of Jailer Duke, proceeded to the celis ofthe unfortunate negroes, bound them by the neck and bands and carried them to the woods, where they hung tue tree by the road and riddled their bodies with bullets. The mob resisted the earnest ap- peals of Judge W. F. Stephens and Hon. W. S. Hill, wkostood on the steps of the jail and appealed to the crowd in the name of law and order. They even followed the mob to the cell doors with their arms around the necks of the leaders pleading to let the law talse its course, out with no eifect. Ida McCray confessed te the knowledge of the murder ard stated that her mother. Letsie, and brother Belfield, helped commit the murder. She further implicated others who will probably meet a like fate. Betsie McCray refused to make any statement. Governor A. H. Longino arrived on the scene by special train from Jackson, just a few minutes after the hanging. Mr. Stephens and Mr. Hill went to the jail early in the day to’ exam- ineand investigate the Talliaferru killing and report to the people in the court house before the inquest should proceed. This they were do- ing in a quiet and successful manner whenit was learned that about 75 men, growing impatient at the de- lay, had organized themselves intoa mob and were ready tocome to the jail and take the suspects out. The committee immediately went to the court house and calied the people to- gether. Messrs. Hill, L. M. South- warth and Senator George address- ed them and told them what they were trying to do. They seemed fairly well satisfied when they were assured that the negroes would not be spirited away, and that the final investigation would be held in pub- lic in the court house. The peace committee then proceeded to the jail to complete its work. They worked until 3 o’clock, when an ad journment was had to report prog- ress and for dinner. The mob con- tinued impatient and restless. In the meantime, Goyernor Longino had telephoned Judge Stephens that be would leave Jackson for Carroll- ton on the2o’clock train. The com- mittee being apprised of this did their best to kill time so that the Governor might arrive and use his influence. However, they deemed it necessary, at to’clock, to make another report tothe people. They pceoceeded to the court house where Mr. Hill reported that they had concluded, after a faithful and thor- ough examination, that while Bel- tield and Betsie McCray knew that the Taliaferros were to be killed and had absented themselves from home so that they might prove an alibi, the ones who had actually committ- ed the deed had not yet been caught. but that they believed that these would finally diyulge the whole plot. Mr. Hill left it to the crowd as to whether the committee should pro- ceed with the investigation, or drop it and have the jury of inquest pro- ceed. The erowd was unanimous in instructing them to proceed with the investigation. However, as the crowd was dispersing from the court house, they met about 50 men armed with shot-guns and rifles and who had not been in the court house to hear the last report. These men proceeded to the jail, where the dep- uty sheriff promptly opened the door for them. Three men went up stairs and brought out Belfield, Betsie and Ida McCray. JydgeSte- phens, Messrs. Hill and George and other citizens begged and pleaded with them, as did Lyon Taliaferro, the son of the murdered couple, not to kili these negroes, as they were thereby thwarting theends of jus- tice. But it was all to no purpose. The mob took the negroes under the hill about a quarter of a mile from town and hanged the three, firing at least 500 shots into their bodies. The Governor arrived just as the mob was returning. He went to the court house and addressed a large and maddened crowd. It is believed that if he could have gotten there in time be might have pre vented thelynching. The Governor returned on the eveniog train. Jim Lane was brought in just as the mob was dispersing. It is not known what further work the mob will do before morning. ——__> ——— Bryan Defends Schloy Linceln, Neb., Dispateh, 2nd In his comment on the naval con- troversv, Wm. J. Bryan takes the side of Rear Admiral Schley, giving him credit for the victory at Santia- goand declaring it a ‘“‘pity that there should be any controversy that seeks to discredit a brave, hon- orable and modest sea fighter, who successfully lead the American forces in one of the greatest, if not the greatest, naval battle in the history of the world.”’ Mr. Bryan denounces the Maclay history of the struggle, and thinks it strange that a historian finds it necessary “‘to resort to the lowest form of abuse, jn dealing with a his- torical character,’’ and, adding, that‘‘as a clerk in the navy yard, he should be displaced because of his outrageous assaults upon a man who has beenthe patient victim of the most remarkable series of attacks recorded in American history ”’ A Fabulous Dividend. New York Dispatch, ond, The Evening Post says today that the extra dividend declared recently by the First National Bank before taking over the National Bank of the Republic was 1,900 per cent. on theold capital stock of $500,000. This dividend was more than large enough to enable the stockholders to pay for their share of the new stock to be issued on the increase of the bapk’s capital to $10,000,000, with- out the outlay of other cash. ' ! Moequitoes and Malaria. The most prevaleat in North Caro- lina, certainly from now until frost, is malarial fever in one form or an other. to the low lying Eastern section of the State, but is quite abundant in many localities in the bill country, having been reported even froin Cherokee. By recent scientific investigations the cause of the fever has been shown to be a microscopic animal known as the plesmodium malaria or hem amoebs vivax, which feeds upon the red corpuscles of the blood—hence the pallor of persons suffering from chronic malaria. The development of this little parasite in the blood is as follows: Ose of the spores, or ba- by verms, so tospeak, enters a red corpuscle and feeding on its contents grows ustilat the end of twenty- four hours it has become nearly as large as the corpuscle. It then. by @ process known as segmentation, slits up into ydozen or more littie spores again, which for a short thine are free in the blood and unattached to the corpuscles. It is just as the segmentation occurs that the chill comes on, which explains the period- ic recurrence of the chill every twenty-four hours, and as it has been found that quinine is most ef- fective in killing the germs while they are free iu the blood and not buried in the substance of the cor- puscles, the best time to give quin- nine is just before the ehill is expect- ed. The method of the introduction of the malarial poison, the plasmodium, certainly the chief method, has been demonstrated beyond all question to be thesting of acertain variety of mosquito known as anopheles, the common mosquito, which while more abundant is innecent as a carrier of disease, being known as culex. The latter species will breed in still wa- ter of any kind, no matter how pure, but the former,our enemy, will only breed in stagnant pools in which there isa certain amount of vegeta- ble matter, especially if there are no tish, such as top minnows or sun- perch, which feed upon the larvae i Temperance atthe South. | Los Angeles Herald. | Sor intere<t} S is ; seme interesting surprises are fnoted in glancing at the figures i It is by no means confined |showing the number of prohibition | itg turf. added more laurels to his counties in the Southern States.

A Bogus Officer Arrested. Washington Dispatch 2nd.’ Chief Wilkie, of the Secret Service, / bas received word of the arrest of M. C. Rich, at Zroy, N. C., charged with impersonating a United States officer. On July 22nd the postofiice at Nall’s, N. ©., was blown up and robbed. Previously the postmascer, who was a womea had received an anonymous letter telling her that the oflice would be blown up and cautioning her to keep away. Soon afterward, it is said, Rich appeared and insisted upon being informed of all the facts of the rob bery and representing himself asa United States detective, He was arrested by the United States mar- shal and Secret Service Agent Wright and held to appear before the grand jury in the sum of $200. ea Women Couuterfeiters Arresied. Washington Dispatch, 2nd, Chief Wilkie, of the Secret Serv- ice, has received a telegram an- nouncing the arrest in New York of Alice Doughtery and a Mrs. O’Con- nor, the former on a charge of coun- terfeiting 50-cent silver pieces and the latter on suspicion. Both wom en‘are white, and Alice Doughtery is saidto be a pal of the famous ‘Jimmie Holden,’’ who is now serv- ing a senterce for counterfeiting or wiggletails. This explains the fact that malaria is much more a- bundant after freshets, in the course | of which thestraam, getting out of | its banks, washes holes in the | ground, and speedily falling leaves there stagnant pools with few or no fish in them. Mosquitoes are very much more abundant this exception al year of freshets than usual. | alsoexplains the danver of bric holes. The laryae, or wiggletails, as we generally call them, are the young mosquitoes. Although they live ip the water from the time they are hatched from the eggs which were laid on the surface until they reech Maturity they cannot live without air—they must breathe, Contrary tothe general rule, they breatue ‘wrong end foremost’’—through a long breathing tube which springs from the body near the tail and which they stick out of the top of the water when they wantair. The bearing of this arrangement on their destruction will appear later. There isa popular misapprehen- sion in regard to the movement of mosquitoes: The general impres- sion is that they are carried by the wiod, and people at the sea-side say that a land breeze brings mosqui- toes. It is a fact that they are more abundant when the breeze is from the land orin acalm, but according to those who know best the fact probably is not that they are biown from the swamps to landward, but that they simply come out again from the trees and shrubbery and the lea side of houses where they had taken refuge from the strong sea breeze which was too rough for their fragile bodies. With rare ex- ceptions they travel, it is said, sel- dom more than a mile, and general- ly not so far. When one is troubled with mosquitoes a careful search will almost always reveal stagnant water in the near yicinity. The destruction of mosquitoes and the consequent prevention of maiaria is accomplished in two ways; Virst and best, by the thorough drainage of allstagnant pools of water, and second, by keeping the surface o° such pools covered with petroleum, what is known as light fuel oil, or even the crude petroleum being bet- ter and cheaper than ordinary kero sene, The filmof oil prevents the larvez from breathing and smothers them. The quantity necessary is one ounce or two tablespoonfuls to every fifteen square feet of surface, repeated every two weeks. This oi! method was employed with great success last year by thecity of Win- chester, Va., and our own town of Tarboro has recently shown a mos: commendable spirit of enterprise in adopting it. Some care ané a little expense in securing protection against mosquitoes and in provid- ing a supply of pure drinking water will practically insure against mala- ria. To those interested in this sub- ject I cordially commend a very in- teresting and valuable book on mos- quitoes written in popular and en- tertaining style by Dr: L. O.

Although Leon Piller, of No. 61 Mercer street, was known to a large circle of friends and relatives as the “Jolly Shoemaker,’ he bad tired of life in the 59 years he had spent on earth, and he swallowed poison at hishome. Early yesterday morn- ing the man told his friends that he would die at 7 o'clock last night,and he bade several people good-bye, telling them eat the same time that he was going to the undertaking shop of C. W. Heilmann to order his coflin. Attheshop he told the man in charge to call at bis home at 7 o'clock and prepare his body for burial. The shoemaker seemed so happy and yood-natured that the undertaker laughed at him. But the laugh vanished at 7 o’clock, when he received word that Piller was dead and that he was wanted at the house The man had sent his wife for a bot- tle of wine, and while she was away he swallowed the pcison. There was neither phial nor wrapper to show the nature of the drug that ended his life. Mrs, Piller was away only about ter minutes. When she left her husband was apparently in his usual heuith, and he laughingly told her that she need not be in a hurry and that she might drink his health when she came back. None of the shoe- maker’s friends or relatives can as- sign any cause for the suicide. The Cotton Mill Business.

The first i s trotted in 593-4, the first time that the distance has been cov- ercd in less than one minute bya trotter. The time by quarters was 293-459 34 and 2:021-4. Oalya stiff wind biowing directly up the stretch kept Cresceus from stepping faster than 2:02. More than 12,000 people journeyed to Driving Park to see the great trotter in action. It was a brilliant assemblage and in- tense enthusiasm for the horse was manifested. George Ketcham ap- peared cn the track with Cresceus a little before 3 o’clock, The horse and driver were royally freceiv- ed and Mr. Ketcham was forced to The champion jogged three miles slower than three miuutes, and one in 2:22, An hour later he came out again, and after scoring several. times, stepped a mile in 2:25, Still later he worked out for the last time in 2:153. He evidently had great power in reserye, and the vast throng waited patiently for the great test. i It was evident that the wind would not decrease before dark, and at 3:40 o'clock the stallion was brought out for the last time. Oa the fifth score Ketcham nodded for the word, but Cresceus was not in his stride and he pulledup at the firstturn to try it again. Down to the wire he rushed, the runner two lengths behind, and this time it was ago. Gamely facing the breeze the champion started on _ his journey, moving with apparent ease, and at his greatest speed. The runner canght him at the quarter, anda sigh went up from the breathless throng, as the time went up, a quarter of a second less than 30. Now the wind was 2t his backand realizing the advantage, Ketcham kept him zat his great clip. The half mile pole was passed in 593-4, a record never before attained, aud hera the second runner caveht him up. The three quarter pole was reached in 1:30}. Then came the great trial, for, as Cresceus : urned into the streteh, the bitter wind beat him in the face and held him by force.

The defeaders and apologists of McLaurin say that he has not quit the Democratic party, but is fight- ing what they choose tocall ‘*modern populistic tendencies.’’ Ifit were true that he was doing this, men might criticize his course, but none could deny his right to the name Democrat. The best qualified man inSouth Carolina to define “old time’’ Democratic principles in Gen- eral Wade Hampton. He is now spending the summer at Sapphire, North Carolina. Asked if he thought McLaurin would be re-elected, the great soldier answered: “No, I think McLaurin will not be elected again. He has deserted all the vital principles that have been incorporatedin every Demo cratic platform since tke formation of the party, andI venture the as sertion that nota Democratic Sena- tor.in Waskingtox willjsay McLaurin is justified in styling himselfa Dem- ocrat. Ifi were in politics I would not give him my support. You see, I have always voted the Democratic ticket, and after having worked so nany years in the interest of that party it would not become me at this stage cf life to transform my- self into a Republ'gin.”’ We wish to call the attention of any good inen, who may have been disposed t» listen to the hypocritical claim that McLaurin is only demand- ing a right to be heard in opposition to the ‘‘bosses,’’ to General Wade Hampton’s assertion: ‘McLaurin has deserted all the vital principies that have becn incorporated in every Democratic piatform sinee the for mation of tie party.’”’ The party may be said to have been formally formed in 1796 and to have won its first victoryin 1800, Willthe apolc gists of McLaurin’s Republicanism now say that itis only ‘‘populistic tendencies’ that McLaurin exposes. when General Wade Hampton sa)s he has deserted ‘‘all the vital princi- ples’’ in every platform for one hundred yezrs? ee Bryan Nails Another Lie. Lincoln, Nebraska, Dispatch, 2nd. Mr. Bryan has a personal card in tomorrow’s Commoner, in which he says: ‘‘Apropos of charges frequently made, I never received any compen- sation of any kind from national, state, county or other committee or from any individual for any speech which I made during the campaigns of 1896 and 1900. Neither did I ever have ary negotiations with any per son or committee in revard to com pensation for any speech. I have been informed that in some instances the expense of the special traiu which carried the membersof the committee the newspaper men and myse f was borre by thetown visited but I never knew of the details of such an arrangement and never re- ceived any of the proceeds therefrom. Neither was it ever suggested to me that [should refuse to speak on any place.

The second Ohio convention was a be. Taking advantage of the zeal of a few extreme men, republican man- agers have given the movement such aid as they deemed necessary. All they wanted wasa rag with which to create democratic vision, but the work has been so bunglingly done that no one will be misled. Mr. Bryan, in whose alleged interest it was inaugurated, has disowned it, and so far as its pronouncement of principles is concerned itis net worthy of consideration. The republican party is aware that it has struck against the rock of public opinion. What it has done in Obio it will duplicate in every other close state with the hope of so divid- ing the people that they may be de- feated at the polls. When they can find a local excuse they will set some disgruntled man upon his feet and inspire him to extreme declarations of democratic opinion with the view of discrediting those who are not prepared to go so far. It is the privilege of the republican party to pursue this course as lone as it can find people to be misled. The duty of the occasion rests upon the democratic party itself. We are not now fighting the battle of 1868, of 1896 or 1900, but of 1904. The res- urrection of old issues and the reop- ening of old wounds can only serve a republican purpose. We wantall the men prominent in every cam- paign to place themselves where they can do the most good in the next. What is the test of democra- cy? It willbe his work for the fu- ture. That is the standard by which all should be judged, In the meantime care should be takea to fall into no *republican snares, which will be so adroitly placed that vigilance will be neces- sary to detect them. ee Senator Daniel an Example of a No- table Class of Men. Knoxville, Tenn., Sentinel. 7 The honor of a Southern gentle- man has got to be a sort of a joke in some sections, where such honor neyer prevailed. Whether this is because there are rot as many real gentlemen in the South as formerly, is the question. At least, there are a@number of the old school, and they do one’s heart good to know. For instance, there is Senator Dan- iel, of Virginia. -He lives in very moGest style in Washington. He canuct afford to spend much, for everything goes toward the payment of his father’s debts. During the past thirty years he has been paying off these debts, and it will probably be a life’s work. His fathor was Judge Wiiliam Daniel, of Lynch- burg. Although considered well-to- do when he died, it was found that bis fortune was swept away in the panic of 1873. He owed $100,000 in excess of the assets. Although Senator Daniel could have repudiat- ed these debts, he chose to assume them, and has been paying on them ever since. Weknow other South- ern gertlemen who have done the same thing. We know Southern mea who have failed and have paid every dollar of their indebtedness. The Southern ideal of honor, which leads men to deny themselves during their lifetime in order that every just obligation shall be liquid- ated, is the kind of honor ‘that has made the South respected in the American Commonwealth. It exists elsewhere, of course, but we believe we are truthful in saying that in South this personal honor is the more met with than anywhere else, A Town With 10.000 People Springs Uy in a Night. Fort Sill, Oxla., Dispatch, 2nd, A town of 10,000 people, to be knownas Lawton, has grown up just outside the fort limits almost withina night. Following the close of the land lottery at El Reno, thou- sands of home-seekers, who drew blanks, started for the three points picked out by the Federal govern- ment for town sites in thenew coun- try, namely, Anadarko, Hobart and Lawton. A majority ofthe people favored Lawton, which is 25 miles inland and tonight thousands are campedin and about the proposed town site, awaiting the sale of lots on August 6th. Already Lawton has 400 tempora- ry business houses, including a gro- cery firm and a newspaper, and three streets have been laid out. A national bank has been projected. Every form of gambling known on the frontier is being run wide open, side by side with fake shows of - va- rious descriptions.

McLaurin and the people applauded them. Ben Tillman is still the idol of most South Carolina Democrats. * ne * While there will be hot contests for the Democratic Congressional the State. all indications point to harmony and unanimity in this, the 8th, district. It looks likea re- nomination by acclamation for our present able and faithful representative, Hon. Theo. F. rKluttz, of Rowan. In order to give hope to our mountain Demo- crats, Congressman Kluttz’s old dis- trict was dismembered by the last Legislature,and it is only just that he be nominated, for he would have had no trouble in his old district. It is reasonably certain that he will have no oppositioa for the nomina- tion, and the Democratic nominee will have at least 3,000 majority in the district. ew a How many ot our readers are aware that until two weeks ago there were many negro magistrates in office in North Carolina? The Raleigh News and Observer calls attention to the fact that their terms of office expired August Ist. They were appointed by the Fusion Leg- islature of 1895 for six years. The negro constables and deputy sheriffs went cut in 1898, but these magis- trates “lagged superfluous on the stage’’ for nearly three years long. er. Thank God, their time has at last come! Thanks to the Demo- cratic party the State and county officers of the future will be white men. Ifa Democrat iselected Pres- ident, as we hope and believe will occur in 1904, all postmasters and other Federal officials in North Carolina will be white men also. ~ * Of all short-sighted policies, that of the *commercials’’ in eternally abusing and misrepresenting Wm. J. Bryan and the cause for which he stood takes the cake. Some of the “‘commercial’’ papers openly bolted the platform and ticket and all of them gave Bryan only a half-hearted support. The “‘commercials’”’ are confessedly in a minority in the State, and they will remain in that condition as long as they employ such methods. Although defeated, Mr. Bryan is still loved by loyal Democrats who regard him as one of the ablest and purest of living statesmen. After Appomattox, al- though General Lee and his army were forced to surrender, the gal- lant soldiers of the South would have ill-brooked abuse of Lee and ridicule of the Confederate cause from deserters and Northern sympa thizers who hid inthe bushes while the war lasted. We suspect that Northern sympathizers would have received more rope and air than re- cruits by such a policy. Wm. J. Bryan and free silver were defeated. The next campaiyn in all probability will be fought ona different issue and with another leader, but it does not help to make loyal Democrats love these ‘‘commercials,’’ who did their little best te accomplish that defeat, for them to be coming forward now with so much free advice accompa- nied with eternal abuse and misrep resentation of one of the vreatest of our leaders and ridicule of our plat- form. * oe * Congressman E. Spencer Black burn has moved his residence from Wicston to Wilkesboro in order to be the Republican candidate for Ccogress in this, the eighth, dis- trict. The district is composed of the following counties: Stanly, Ca barrus, Rowan, Iredell, Alexander, Caldwell. Wilkes, Surry. Alleghany, Ashe and Watauga, These counties gave Governor Aycock 1,189 .major- ity in August, 1900. In November, 1900, Kluttzand Buxton for Con- gress had 800 more votes than Hol- ton, Shuford and Blackburn, but McKinley had 719 overBryan. It is well known that many Democrats did not vote for Bryan. In the dis- trict there are between five and six thousand negro voters, ail of whom voted in 1900. It is safe tosay tha: franchised under the constitutional amendment. With all the negroes voting Blackbura would have been defeated by 800 majority in the pres- ent district last fall; and, with at least 3,000 fewer negro voters in 1902 than in 1900, itappears to us (and doubtless when he thinks of it, it strikes him the same way) that che chances for the Hon. Spencer’s bolding more than one term in Con- gress are anything but flattering. But, then, they were ‘worse in the fifth district, from which he rem v- ed. Spencer had better go ia for the Repudlican nomination for tie Senate in the Wilkes, Yadkin aud Davie district, as he might stand a chance to be elected there.

Mr. Kluttz also entered complaint avainst the seeming discrimination against North Carolina in the delay in establishing rural free delivery routes in this State, as compared with some others. and was assured that there was no intention on the part of the Department to so dis criminate, and that during the re- mainder of this year tbo matter Should be evened up and ‘the State given its fair proportion of such routes, if properly petitioned for. He was informed of the ruling of the Department in this matter, tiat each Congressman would be recog nized as representing the counties composing the district from which he was elected, and not from those constituting the new districts as laid off by the State Legislature, and petitions should be sent accord ingly. Mr. Kiuttz hopes to secure the establishment of-at least twenty- fiye routes in his district within a year and willbe glad to have the petitions forwarded to him as early as possible. He will beglad to fur- nish any desircd information. The delay in inspecting the routes al ready petitioued for was accounted for largely by the small number of inspectors heretofore available and the pressure for their services al] over the couniry. Mr. Kluttz says that all the North Carolina Congressmen, as well as the Senators, are anxious to do all they can in this regard, but they must have petitions substantially in the form prescribed by the Depart- ment, with map or sketch of the proposed route, before they can act It must be remembered that under the regulations no route can be es tablished, under ordinary circum stances, which is less than twenty five miles in length, or which serves less than one hundred families, and must be soarranged that the car rier willnot have to travel twice over the same ground on the same day; also, that those desiring the deiivery must hereafter be prepared to put up at their expense appropri- ate secure boxes, as prescribed by the Department, costing from one to three dollars each, with locks. When put up, these boxes wiil be entitled to the protection of the United States statutes, which pro- vide severe penalties for interfering with them or their contents. Mr. Kluttz thinks the next Congress will increase the appropriation for this service and that itis only a ques- tion of time when it will supercede the present star routes and fourth- class postottices in all except very sparsely settled territory. ence eee Deaths and Other News at Mooresville And in South Iredell.

A fortune of $2,000,000, now ir the United States treasury, awaits a.young Pole named Dembitzky, provided he can trace his relation- shipto Baron Lud wig Napoleon Dem- bitzky who fought in the Union ar my and died on the battle field dur- ing the civil war. An attorney of this city has been retained by the young man who is now living in Russia. Th. attorney, who has been in communication with Secre- tary Gage, said that the records of the govertinent’s indebtedness to the orivinai Dembitzxy has been found. Baren Dembitsky, according to the story, left Poland in 1863 be- cause of political troubles and cam- io this country. He had $400,000 in American money, the proceeds o! the-sale of his estates. This he de- posited with ihe federal government’ at Washing: 0.,and went into the army. He was killed im the battle ofthe Wilderness. . In 1897 his grandnephew in Russi: received a communication from Jo seph Howics, consul of the United States at Warsaw, Russia, inform ing him of the money left by the old soldier in the government’s care and asked for proof of relationship. The sum, with compound interest, now amounts to more than $2,000,060. Considerable difficulty was en- countered in establishing the reia tionship because records in churehe- and court houses in Poland were de stroyed by fire by Russian troops Not later than a month ago a Bible containing the family tree was found which, it is said, completely esta» lishes the claims of the nephew.

The Progressive Farmer backs up Tue MAscoT in its exposure of the so called Prof. Lipps’ home made fertilizer scheme thus: “The Statesville Mascot reports that Professor (?) Michael M. Lipps, Bivff City, Tenn., is endeavoring to sell Iredell farmers ‘farm rights’ to make home made fertilizers, after the manner of his heretofore re- ported in the Progressive Farmer. We supposed that this ‘professor,’ as he calls himself, would not again seek business in North Carolina af- ter the exposure of his methods made by State Chemist Kilgore last summer.”’ _ All Because of’ the Merry-Go-Round. Laura Poe, wife of Will Poe, col- ored, and Mame Garner, a dusky damsel, had aseries of hairpulling scraps Monday afternoon from the merry-go-round to the colored res- taurant on Meeting street. It seems that, Will Poe had been setting the Garner woman up to sundry rides on the ‘Flying Jinny.’’ Laura stood her spouse’s attentions until patience ceased to bea virtue, and she decided to put the Garner wom- an outofthe race by force. And then the dance began. No damage was done to either, put the air was alive with profanity for afew minutes, and the crowd around the merry-go-round forgot all about it for the time being. Serious Cutting Affair in Alexander. Sunday night at the negro camp eround called Philadetptia Will Keaton and Lum Harwell got into a tight in which Keaton inflicted a dangerous wound on Harwell with a knife. The cut ran from the top of bis head down through his ear and around under his throat almost sev- eving the jugular vein. Dr. A. Campbell dressed the wounded man, and it required 18 stitches to sew up the crt. Keaton fled and at last ac- count had not been captured. He is 2son of Winslow Keaton, who was killed in this county some ten years ago by two negroes at a corn shucking. Harwell is an older man. Itis hoped his wounds will not prove fatal. ete etree ‘Two Death Stricken Homes. Sidney Lee, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. H.

It is not often that a negro com mits suicide but Statesville hada ease of this kind Saturday. Late that afternoon Mamie Banks, color- ed. wife of Henry Banks, a waiter at Hotel Iredell, killed herself in the oack yard of her home on Garfield street. The woman was not dead when found but died ina few min- utes after the arrivel of Dr. Long. Coroner Foard being out of town, J. W. White acted as coroner and summoned S. L Parks, P. A. Bry- ant, J. H. White W. A. Culbreth, P. _A. Poston and J. E. Boyd as a jury. After making a careful investiga- tion the jury decided that the wo- man killed herself. No one saw her ent her throat but when found she wag lving oa her back not far from a pool of blood and between her and the blood Jay a blood stained razor. She had severed the windpipe in three places and the gashes in her neck were horrible to look at. For some time the deceased bad been in poor health and it is supposed that ina fit cf despondency caused by suffering she took matters into her own hands and ended her life. County Schoo! Matters.

Monday eyening after dark Noah O’Brien, a youny yellow negro, who works for the Statesville Ice & Bot- tling Co., stabbed Phillip Nicholson, colored, Fry & Phifer’s delivery boy. There are conflicting state- ments as to the origin of the atfray. But it seems that late Monday af- ternoon Noah told Phil that he wanted tosce him before he went home; so after the stores closed, Phil got his supper at the restaur- ant near the Ice company’s place of business and later seeing Noah call- ed him out and asked him what he wanted. Before answering Noah took him around back of the old liv- ery stable next to the jail lot and then said *‘I want tocut your throat.’’ With this he made a rake at Phil who threw up his hand and caught the knife. The next lunge of Noah’s went through to the_cavi- ty between Phil’s ribs on the right side, At this time the Nicholson negro ran. Noah followed and cut him three times more before outside parties interfered. Dr. Campbell dressed Phil’s cuts which are dan- gerous but not necessarily fatal. Noab was arrested ard sent to jail in default of a $200 bond by Mayor Clarke, He isa larger negro than Phil. Thereseems to have been aa old grudge between then. Iredcll Deluged with Rain — Mach Damage in Town and County, Statesville and the surrounding country have been deluged with rain this week. Monday night there was a heavy rainfall, but Tuesday night it came down insheets. The streams around town were higher than they have been in yearsand were imp2s- sable. None of the star route mails came in. Fourta creek at the Davis mill was higher than it had been in 40 years. Rickert’s bridge over this creek was washedaway. Third creek was over the till near Kistler’s bridge on the dirt road and only the tassels of the cora could be seen above the water. It is impossible to tell what the damage to the bridges in;the county amounts to uotil the streams subside. In Stateville the damage to tie streets runs up into the neighbor- hood of $2,000 to $3,000. They are washed into guilies in many places, side walks all over town are dam- aged. Several culverts damaged The raised sidewalk on the east side of north Center street in the flat back of the Iredell Tobacco Co.’s building was washed away for 20 feetanaten feet deep. The sewer- age and water pipe tines on Bell street were broken near Sharpe's taayard. The break in the water line emptied the standpipe. The new work on south Meeting stree: was badly damaged in places. The bridge over the branch just north of town on the Wilkesboro road was washed away. Col. Sharpe's tanvard was flooded the vats being over flowed and some of the hides washed out. Old resi dents of the town unitein saying that it was the heaviest rain that has fallen here in years. During the storm one unusually heavy peal of thunder startled the town. The lightning struck a tete- phone pole near the old Stephenson tanyard place and shivered it ipto splinters —_~ : gee A VICIOUS ASSAUf LON MEW? BORNE Sam Moore, Coloced, Slashes Fim Witt a Kn?*e ina Fight There have been a series of cutting scrapes in Statesville within the last week. None of them of a more se- rious character than that which oc curred near the littie store kept b Charles Smith, colored, on south Centre street Saturday night, when E. A. Wilborne, foreman of the Statesville Furniture factory, was brutally assaulted by a negro sup- posed to be Sam Moore. Saturday night as Wilborne anda friend, Mr. Huggins were walking along Centre street toward, J. Ayers’ where he, Wiiborne, voarded, they found the sidewalk blocxed by 2 two negroes who would not sive way at all; and were therelore knocked off the sidewalk by the white men, wno went on to Mr Ayers’ house. After staying there some minutes Huggins s‘arted on toward the depot, saying as he did that he was atraid those oeyroes might way lay him. Wilborne pre posed to go with him as far as Smith’s store,—across the branch— as he wanted to buy a watermeluu, Just as they were coming out of the store a rock whistled by their heads. Turning around they saw the two negroes; and at once made for them. Wilborne clinched with one of the negroes and in the short strugyic was cut six or seven times on the head, back and one deep gash on the breast. By this time Hugyins had disposed of his negro and turned to Wilborne’said when the scoundrel who was cutting him ran, Neither Wilborne nor Huggins knew the ae- croes at the time, but other partiss saw them and recognized them as Sam aad Robt (Bud) Moore. Sam, the larger one is the oue who did the cutting. Mr. Wilborne was taken to bis room and his wceunds, which proy ed fortunately not to be serious, dressed. Huggins was uninjured. These negroes had evidently waited for the men to attack them: Both are bad cha-acters. Sam havivg served a term on the gang for steai- ing from the depot. Bud was believ- ed by many to have helped kill a ne- gro woman near the depot few years 2go; but was acquitted when tried. Soon after the negroes ran Sheriff Wycotf and Chief of Police Karcher organized a posse and searched for them nearly allnight It isthouzht they went toward Salisbury, but up to the present neither one has been arrested. A hand car that had been placed on the western track below the depot Saturday was struck bya freight. It is thought that the nevroes may have used this is escap- ing. Mr. Wildorne is improving nicely and is now sitting up. peepee The Iredeli Blues returred from the encampment at Wrightsville last night about 11:30.0’clocx. They re- port a good trip.

Pintningham, Ala, Dispatch, 9th. With agonizing screams and his eves bulging from his head, Jchn Wesley Pennington, a negro, was burned at the stake near Enterprise, Ala.. this moruing, before a crowd of DUO enraged citizens of Coffee The assemblage was com- posed of both whites and blacks, and although the negro pleaded for mercy and frantically endeavored to break the chains that tightly bound him, nota trace of sympathy was shown on the hardened faces that peered at him through the flames. Pennington had committed an as- saultos Mrs. J. C. Davis, the wife of a preminent farmer of Coffee county, and bad confessed his guiit. The crime was committed yester- Gay afternoon while mrs. Davis was gathering vegetables in her garden. ‘As soon as she regained her senses Mrs. Davis crawled to the house and told her husband what had happen- ed. <A iarge posse was quickly or- ganized and with loodhounds they chased the negro until early io the morniog when he was captured ina swamp. Penniegton was pound hand and foot and taken back to the Davis hon.e for identification. Word of the assault had been sent by run- ners for miles around Enterprise and every farmer in the neighbor- hood left his plow to join in the search. Some of them were too late to join the pursuing party and went to the Davis home to await their return. There is not a telegraph oftice in Coffee county. but the mes- sage traveled rapidly and when the posse arrived this morning with Pennington there were at least five hundred persous gathered near the Davis residence. A great shout went up when the prisozer was seen by the crowd, but at a signal the men withdrew to the woods and quietiy awaited the result of the meeting between Pennington and Mrs. Davis. nirs. Davis immediately recogniz- ed him and the negro broke down and wept. He admitted having committed the assault and pleaded for merey, Withcries of terror the trembling man was dragged from the house and into the woods where the crowd had gathered. Evidently expecting the con fession, several of the citizens bad driven a stake in the ground andas the men approach- ed with Pennington, both whitesand blacks were piling brushwood a round the iron pipe. The negrosar his doom and with a scream of ter- ror, felltc the ground in a faint. He was quickly revived and dragged to the stake while the crowd stood silently by. The frightened man was county. ae limp and had to be held up while the chains were fasteded around his neck and budy. Whenall was ready the cry was given and tne crowd stood back. A match was applied to the pile and with oilto feed upon the flame soon burst into a roaring fire The terrified negro again plead for merey in agonizing tones and _ prayed to God that those arcund him i:night perish. He then called on his Maker for forgiveness. A deathly silence enveloped the awful scene and in a few minutes the flames had done their work. _ , The Close Cali of Dumont, the Airship Man. Paris Dispatch, oth. M, Santos-Dumont, the aeronaut, this morning again attempted to circle Eiffel tower. He succeededir rounding the tower with difficulty. The balloon was then unable to make headway against strong winds and fell near a Louse in the vicinity and remained therefor some time. M. Santos-Dumont was not injured Sgntos-Dumont started from the Pare de St. Cloud at 6:10a. m., amid hearty cheers. His initial move- ents were promising, as the bail- loon turned around Eiffel tower 9 minutes and 34seconds after starting and reheaded for St. Cloud. Just over the Avenue Henri Marion, however, a stronger gust of wind struck the aeronaut, and the balloon veered violently to one side almost simuitaneously bounding backwards a distance of 50 yards. The by- drogea gas was forced from the front to the back part of the balloon, creating a sudden expansion which caused the machine to dip. Her crew touched the steel cords and broke them. M. Santos-Dumont immediately stopped the motor and the balloon began to descend. Un- fortunately the cover of the aerostat struck the corner of a six-story building. <A report like the shot of a cannon followed. The balloon col- lapsed and fell rapidly. Lucklily the frame caught on the coping of the building and the balloon remain- ead suspended, otherwise Saatos- Dumoxt would have been killed. As it was the aeronaut hung ina most dangerous position in mid air- for half an hour until, by a great effort, he succeeded in catching the iroa bar of a wincow to which he cluny until rescued with some diffi- culty by the use of ropes. The bal- loonist escaped without a scratch, however. ~ The explosioa of the balloon at- tracted enormous crowds ard the reception of M. Santos-Dumont up- on reaching the street was most en- thusiastic, many ladies clinging to his neck and kissing him repeatedly. As M. Santos-Dumont superintend- ed theremoval of the machire he said he was quite ready to recom- mence operations, M. Deustch, who offered the prize o0f3100,000 francs for the rounding cof Eiffel tower and the return to the starting point, within a given pe- riod of time, was so affected by the danger that Santos-Dumornt had passed through, that he told him that he would rather present him with the prize atonce than to see him kill himself with his experi- ments. But the balloonist relied that he had rounded Biffel tower in such a short period of time that he considered the result too satisfactory to permit the relinquishmert of his attempts in the future. i ————————_—_»> o-=—_ = Kolled His Wife and Then Himself, Pttsville, Pa., Dispatch, 9th.

Second Lieutenané Dunn was mortally wourded and Kirst Lieutenant McManus injured in the fight. The negro in jail answers well to the description of the slayer of Chief of Police Jones, of Shelby, N. C., but has not yet been positively indenti- Ged. The negroes arrived here last night from parts uaknown. They were heavily armed and fought like madmen. When Mike Washington was lock- odin a cell he wailed and wept while se blood was washed from his eluthes. The dead bedy of the otker ‘Vashington had been sent to the city hospital, where the coroner will hold an inquest. The Waskington who-was killed was an ordinary plack negro. The negro who was wounded tallied with the description wired here of the negro Lowry, who murdered Chief of Police Jones, of Shelby. Washington differed from ibis description in one or two par tieulars. He is more than 25 years old, but he bas the hang-dog look, the sneaking ways, the high cheek oones and sharp chin. There was -lso the little black mustache. When his face was quivering with pain ard ‘right the negro looked to be 40 years of age. but the records will show that heis not far from tbe mark given by the Sheloy authori- ties. There is much evidence to show that he is Lowry. Of all iiars who have sojourned in :he staticn house this negro is by odds the star. He told more lies in five minutes than the most hardened criminal could have tracked and from the way he contradicted him- self it was evident that he was in some way connected with a dark deed. Washington gave various names. Hesaid he came here yes- verday trom Savannak, but he could not tell how much railroad fare he nad paid, neither could he say what time he left Savannah. At onetime he said he came to the city yester- day and two minutes later he got in a week ago.

Raleigh News and Observer. Now there is talk of a suit to test ihe ruling of the Stete Tax Com- mission in regard to the taxation of bank stock—holding that owners of such stock cannot deduct from it their debts but must pay tax onits full yalue. A very different practice has pre- vailed in this State for many years and some lawyers still hold the belief that the new ruling will not be sus- tained by the courts. This has caused talk of a test case to have the question settied. If the commission’s ruling is sus- tained and enforced it wili result in a great increase in public revenue, Heretofore a very large per cent. of this property has escaped taxation, the holders claiming that they had a right to deduct their. debts from its value; and in many instances they managed to make the debt as big as the valve of the bank stock. Even bank presidents have been known, in giving in their taxes, tosay ‘‘Yes. [ own some bank steck, but I owe as much as it amounts to’’—and the account with the State was consid ered square. This can no longer be done, unless a decision is obtained from the courts overruling the decision of the State lax Commission. And hence thetalk of test case.’ The State Auditor has completed his assessment of bank stock, as re quired by the new revenue law. The law requires that every bank- ing institution shall list annually with the State Auditor all the shares of its capital stock at its market value on the first day of June, orif 1$ have no market value on that day then at its actual value on that day, and from market or actual value of shares shall be deducted the assesed value of the real and persoual prop- erty, which shall have been listed for taxation in the county wherein such real and personal estate is lo- cated. Under the assessment thus made a little over $15,000in taxes will be raised. — > Birthmark Saved Him from Marry- ing Bis Daughter. Cleveland, O., Dispatch. Six months ago J. H. Collinger, a farmer, aged 85 years, who lives near this city, decided that he need- eda wife. He put an adyertisemen: in @ matrimonial paper. Among the replies he received was one from Miss Amy Frantz; of San Antonia, Texas. A correspcr- dence followed and it was finally an nounced that they would marry. Collinger sent moaey to his prospec- tiue bride to pay her traveling ex penses to Ohio. She arrived here a few days ago and the marriage was to take place today. Yesterday Collinver noticed a peculiar birthmark on the forearm of his prospective bride and that saved him from marrying his own daughter. He questioned Miss Frantz and she toid him that from her earliest recollection up to the time she was 16 years old, she had traveled with a band of gypsies Now ske 1s 54 years. Collinger made further inquiries and Miss Frantz produced a small locket in which Collinger saw the picture of his wife who died 50 yenrs ago, soon after his baby daughter had been stolen by a band of gypsies that hac passed through Knox county. This removed all doubt and the old man accepted the woman from Texas as his daughter. Father and daughter will live together at the farm, —_— D> be Oe Private Foutz tobe Hanged.

The Department also received a letter from Mr. J. Edward Simmons, of New York, presideat of the Panama Railroad, confirming his communication of yesterday, relative to the trouble on the isth- mus, and stating that the superin- tendent of the road had advised him as to the depredations of an insur- sent band which did not number, bowever, much over 50-men. Phe more serious aspect of the matter was presented in the press dispatches from Willemstad, statiug that the Colombians had again in- vaded Venezuela. Tbere was no official confirmation as 10 this, but if it proves correct, there seems lit- tle chance of avoiding an open Con diet between these two countries. as such an invasion by Colombia would, in itself, bean act of war. But the authorities here prefer to take a conservative view of the situ- ation until ofveial advices are hand. Wheninquiry was made as to why our officials at Bogota and elsewhere did not send full informs tica on the subject, it was stated that these officials were not there to communicate with us, but only to advise this government. At the Navy Department no further steps were taken toward sending ships to the isthmus. It was definitely de- cided to send the battleship Wiscon- sin Gown to San Diego, Cal., in case the desirability of that move became evident by the time she reached San Francisco and the State Department was so advised. There was some comment, also, as to the possibility of sending dewn some of the ships of the North Atlantic squadron, but Acting Secretary Hackett treated these suggestions as rather prema- ture, There is no douot, however, thatan ample force will be sent irom the squadron if its presence seems desirable. ees —-- <a - Steel Plant Ordered Dismantied on Account oOo’ Strike.

Pinningbam, Ala, Dispatch, 9th. With agonizing screams and his eves bulging from~ his head, Jchn Wesley Pennington, a negro, was burned at the stake near Enterprise, Ala.. this morning, before a crowd of 300 enraged citizens of Coffee county. The assemblage was com- pesed of both whites and blacks, although the negro pleaded for mercy and frantically endeavored to break the chains that tightly bound him, rota trace of sympathy was shown on the hardened faces that peered at him through the flames. Pennington had committed an as- sauiton Mrs. J. C. Davis, the wife ef a preminent farmer of Coffee county, and had confessed his guilt. Tne crime was committed yester- Gay afternoon while mrs. Davis was gathering vegetables in ber garden. As soon as she regained ber serses Mrs. Davis crawled to the house and told her husband what had happex- ed. A iarge posse was quickly or- ganized and with bleodhounds they chased the negro until early in the morning wben he was captured ina swamp. Penniegton was bound hand and foot and taken back to the Davis hone for identification. Word of the assault had been sent by run- ners for miles around Enterprise and every farmer in the neighbor- hoodleft his plow to join in the search. Some of them were too late to join the pursuing party and went to the Davis home to await their return. There is not a telegraph office in Coffee county, but the mes- sage traveled rapidly and when the posse arrived this morning with Pennington there were at least five hundred persons gathered near the Davis residence. A great shout went up when the prisoner was seen by the crowd, but at a signal the men withdrew to the woods and quietly awaited the result of the meeting between Pennington and Mrs. Davis. Mrs. Davis immediately recogniz- ed him and the negro broke down and wept. He admitted having committed the assault and pleaded for merey. Withcries of terror the trembling man was dragged from the house and into the woods where the crowd had gathered. Evidently expecting the confession, several of the citizens had driven a stake in the ground andas the men approach- ed with Pennington, both whitesand blacks were piling brushwood a round the iron pipe. The negrosaw his doom and with a scream of ter- ror, fellto the ground in a faint. He was guickly revived and dragged to the stake while the crowd stocd silently by. The frightened man was limp and had to be held up while the chains were fasteded around Lis neck and bedy. Whenall was ready the cry was given and tne crowd stood back. A match was applied to the pile and with oilto feed upor the flame soon burst into a roaring fire The terrified negro again plead for mercy in agonizing tones and _ prayed to God that those arcund him :oigbt perish. He then called on his Maker for forgiveness. Adeathly silence enveloped tke awful scene and in a few minutes the flames had done their work. a ee ee , The Close Call of Dumont, the Airship Man. a Paris Dispatch, oth. M,. Santos-Dumont, the aeronaut, this morning again attempted to circle Eiffel tower. He succeededir rounding the tower with difficulty. The balloon was then unable to make headway against strong winds and feil pear a house in the vicinity and remained therefor some time. M. Santos-Dumont was not injured Santos-Dumont started from the Pare de St. Cloud at 6:10a. m., amid hearty cheers. His initial move- ments were promising, as the baii- loon turned around Eiffel tower 9 minutes and 3+4seconds after starting and reheaded for St. Cloud. Just ever the Avenue Henri Marion, however, a stronger gust of wind struck the aeronaut, and the balloon veered violently to one side almost simuitaneously bounding bazkwards a distance of 50 yards. The by- drogea gas was forced from the front to the back part of the balloon, creating a sudden expansion which caused the machine to dip. Her crew touched the steel cords and broke them. M. Santos-Dumont immediately stopped the motor and the balloon began to descend. Un- fortunately the cover of the aerostat struck the corner of a six-story building. A report like the shot of a cannon followed. The balloon col- lapsed and fell rapidly. Lucklily tbe frame caught on the coping of the building and the balloon remain- ed suspended, otherwise Saatos- Dumont would have been killed. As it wasthe aeronaut hung ina most dangerous position in mid air- for half an hour until, by a great effort, he succeeded in catching the iroa bar of a winCow to which he cluoy until rescued with some diffi- culty by the use of ropes. The bal- loonist escaped without a scratch, however. ~ The explosion of the balloon at- sracted enormous crowds ard the reception of M. Santos-Dumont up- on reaching the street was most en- thusiastic, many ladies clinging to his neck and kissiag him repeated y. As M. Santos-Dumont superintend- ed theremoval of the machire he said he was quite ready to recom- mence operations, M. Deustch, who offered the prize of3100,000 francs for the rounding cf Eiffel tower and the return to the starting point, within a given pe- riod of time, was so affected by the danger that Santos-Dumort had passed through, that he told him that he would rather present him with the prize atonce than to see him kill himself with his ex peri- ments. But the balloonist relied that he had rounded Eiffel tower in such a short period of time that he considered the result too Satisfactory to permit the relinquishmert of his attempts in the future.

The dead bedy of the other Washington had been sent to the city hospital, where the coroner will hold an inquest. The Wasbington wno-was killed was an ordinary black negro. The negro who was wounded tallied with the description wired here of the negro Lowry, who murdered Chief of Police Jones, of shelby. Washington differed from ibis description in one or two par tieulars. He is more than 25 years old, but he has the hang-dog look, the sneaking ways, the high cheek oones and sharp chin. There was :lso the little black mustache. When his face was quivering with pain ard ‘right the negro looked to be 40 years of age. but the records will show that be is not far from tbe mark given by the Sheloy authori- ties. Taere is much evidence to show that he is Lowry. Of all jiars who have sojourned in che staticn house this negro is by odds the star. He told more lies in five minutes than the most hardened criminal could have tracked and from the way he contradicted him- self it was evident that he was in some way connected with a dark deed. Washington gave various names. He said he came here yes- terday trom Savannak, but he could not tellhow much railroad fare he nad paid, neither could he say what time he left Savannah. At onetime he said he came to the city yester- day and two minutes later he got in a week avo. He made a big effort to appear like a lunatic, but his eyes wandered back and forth and his ears pricked up like a dog’s when he heard’ the oflicers men- tion the name of the North Carolina town where he is supposed to haye murdered a chief of police who was performing a duty. _ ——2- oe -——t— Banks May Fight the State Tax Law. Raleigh News and Observer. Now there is talk of a suit to test the ruling of the St«te Tax Com- mission in regard to the taxation of bank stock—holdineg that owners of such stock cannot deduet from it tneir debts but must pay tax on its fall yalue. A very different practice has pre- vailed in this State for many years and some lawyers still hold the belief that the new ruling will not be sus- tained by the courts. This has caused talk of a test case to have the question settled. if the commission’s ruling is sus- tained and enforced it will result in a great increase in public revenue, Heretofore a very large per cent. of this property has escaped taxation, the holders claiming that they had a rigbt to deduct their. debts from its value; and in many instances they manayed to make the debt as big as the value of the bank stock. Even bank presidents have been known, in giving in their taxes, tosay ‘Yes. [ own some bank steck, but I owe as rauch as it amounts to’’—and the account with the State was consid ered square. This can no longer be done, unless a decision is obtained from the courts overruling the decision of the State lax Commission. And hence the talk of test case.’ The State Auditor has completed his assessment of bank stock, as re quired by the new revenue law. The law requires that every bank- ing institution shall list annually with the State Auditor all the shares of its capital stock at its market value on the first day of June, orif it have no market value on that day then at its actual value on that day, and from market or actual value of shares shall be deducted the assesed value of the real and personal prop- erty, which shall have been listed for taxation in the county wherein such real ard personal estate is lo- cated. Under the assessment thus made a little over $15,000in taxes will be raised. > oe Birthmark Saved Him from Marry- ing His Daughter. Cleveland, O., Dispatch. Six months ago J. H. Coilinger, a farmer, aged 85 years, who lives near this city, decided that he need- eda wife. He put an adyertisemen: in a matrimonial paper. Among the replies he received was one from Miss Amy Frantz; of San Antonia, Texas. A correspou- dence followed and it was finally an nounced that they would marry. Collinger sent mozey to his prospec- tiue bride to pay her traveling ex penses to Ohio. She arrived here a few days ago and the marriage was to take place today. Yesterday Collinger noticed a peculiar birthmark on the forearm of his prospective bride and tha: saved him from marrying his own daughter. He questioned Miss Frantz and she told him that from her earliest recoliection up to the time she was 16 years old, she had traveled with a band of gypsies Now she 1s 54 years. Collinger made further inquiries and Miss Frantz produced a small locket in which Collinger saw the picture of his wife who died 50 yenrs ago, soon after his baby daughter had been stolen by a band of gypsies that hac passed through Knox county. This removed all doubt and the old man accepted the woman from Texas as his daughter. Father and daughter will live together at the farm, —_—_——P <a Se Private Foutz tobe Hanged.

The Department also received a letter from Mr. J. Edward Simmons, of New York, president of the Panama Railroad, confirming his communication of yesterday, relative to the trouble.on the isth- mus, and stating that the superin- tendent of the road had advised him as to the depredations of an insur- gent band which did not number, bowever, much over 50-men. Tbe more serious aspect of the matter was presented in the press dispatches from Willemstad, statiug that the Colombians had ayain in- vaded Venezuela. There was no official confirmation as to this, but if it proves correct, there seems lit- tle chance of avoiding an open con Hict between these two countries. assueh an invasion by Colombia wuld, ia itself, bean act of war. But the authorities here prcfer to rake a conservative view of the situ- ation until ofeiai advices are in band. Wheninquiry was made as to why our Officials at Bogota and elsewhere did not send full informa tioa on the subject, it was stated that these officials were not there to communicate with us, but only to advise this government. At the Navy Department no further steps were taken toward sending ships to the isthmus. It was definitely de- cided tosend the battleship Wiscon- sin down to San Diego, Cal., in case the desirability of that move became evident by the time she reached San Francisco and the State Department was so advised. There was some comment, also, as to the possibility of sending down some of the skips of the North Atlantic squadron, but Acting Secretary Hackett treated these suggestions as rather prema- ture. There is no douot, however, that an ample force will be sent from the squadron if its presence seems desirable. EIN SDC a Steel Plant Ordered Dismantled on Accounto’ Strike.

Washington Dispatch, gth. Admiral Kempff has forwarded to the navy department an official re- port, thrilling in its details, of the biting off of the legof Quartermas- ter S.

Two of the men had been inswim ming at Iloilo, when McKie joined them and asked if they had been able to touch bottom. Beiny an- swered in the negative, he made a dive and was gone several seconds One of the seamen says he heard a gurgling sound under the water. A moment later McKie appeared on the surface and shouted ‘Shark! Shark!” The surface of the water was covered with blood near where he came up. McKie started to swim and although badiy crippled reach ed the boat and was pulled in by his companions. A horrible sight met their eyes, the quartermaster’s leg bavjng been bitten off near the knee.

A Strange Case In Wake County- Raleigh News and Observer, 16th. There is a pitiful case in jail here. A youth named Raines, not quite 18, anda girl named Eason, a little over 17, came here from Johnson county and tried to marry. They could not cet license, so they went to work on a farm here, and stayed there three weeks when they were arrested for adultery and jailed. The girl’s fatb- er has been urged to come here and assent to the marriage, but has not done so. He will probably be forced toeome. The girlis in a delicate condition. The money is on deposit to pay for the license, the _costs in the case. etc. —————— Like Vance’s Catfish. Columbia State.

The Greenvilie News, the ofilicial orsan, soto speak, of the commerci- a! democracy, is true to its mission and is disposed to take a ‘‘commerci- al’’ view of the political situation ir South Carolina In its epinion the true test of a public man’s worth is his ability to secure federal offices uis friends and federal appropri- os forhis state or district.

About midnight a telephone mes- sage was received at police head- quarters to the effect thata young negro man had shot himself in the Kenilworth Inn section of the ciry. Officers responded to the message and found Eugene Davis cold ix death, witk two pistol wounds near his heart Standing near the body were Walter Chempion, Joseph Freeman and Charles Hudson, the latter a white man who hasa family. The three united in saying that Davis had asked for the pistol, and in firing it had accidentally shot himself. The officers generally be- lieved the story, but held the three persons as witnesses. An inquest was conducted over the remains this morning by Coroner Sevier, ard an autopsy was made to learn the loca- tion of the bullets. In this and is other ways suspicion’ was aroused over the story of the three witnesses, andthey were put up on the stand and subjected to something like a sweat box examination. Freeman. who isa mere boy, not beingover 13 years of age, broke down under the examination and told a story which has proven ashock to the community hardly second to that revelation of crime last Monday, when it became known that John Muller had mur- dered the colored woman. WilljSe horn, and plased her body in a trunk Freeman said his home was with Dr. Battle, on the mountain; that he had met Champion and Hudson, who told him to go with them, and that as the men were drinking he was afraid to disobey, he was a wit- ness to thecrime fromits inception to its fatal ending. It was claimed that Champion’s wife had written a letter to Davis, which angered Champion, and his friend Hudson. Early 1n the evening they came ov- er to town to look for Davis but he could not be found and the men had gone to his home near Kenilworth Inn. Having reached the house, they called Dayis out and told the unsuspecting man that they wanted him to gotoalynching with them; that John Miller was to be lynched later in the night. Davis walkeda short distance With the men when Champion drewa 46 calibre army revolver, and placing it against the breast of Davis. fired twice. Cham- pion then stood over his victim and after watching the life blood spurt from the great wounds for a moment, exclaimed: ‘Well, boys, has he got enough? If you say so, I will light him up a few more times.” He was told to desist, and after making sure that the form was life less, the pistol and scabbard were placed about the body in a way to give theimpression that death was self-inflicted.

Most of the {eases were treated on the ground by jambulance surgeons, but a few of {them were considered sufficientiy serious to necessitate the removal {of the victims to the hospitals. { Jt was shortly after two o'clock {toy whea the tank fell, the heavy liron sheathing separating at the seams, precipitating great quanti- ties of blazing petroleum into Passa yunk avenue. There was a wild stampede among the people in the vicinity, but many of them were badly burned by the fiery spray which fell among them. Dykes were hastily thrown up by the fire- men and employes of the company and the blazing fluid was confined to an area of about two blocks on Pas- savunkeavenue. At one time it was thought the tlames would eommani- cate with tbe purifying house of the United Gas Improvement Company, which is separated from the oil works by a vacant iot.

Much revret is ex- pressed at the occurrence, as Wilk inson was a youngman well thought of in kis community. On the same day, jest over the line in Franklin county, a dispute arose between two cousins named Richards and resultedin a fight in which one of them was so bad!y cut that it is thought be will die. They are both young men. and were, like Wilkieson and Dunn, working the ro2d when the trouble arose, It was reported here yesterday that the doctor had given Rich- ards up and that his death was merely a question of a very short iime.

The practice isindulyed in by young la- dies who in theevenizy csn be seen promenading the corridors of the se- ject horels, and their indifference to passers-by would indicate that the giris consider it permissive. Time was when such conduct would lead to ostracism.

Judge Somerville, ir the District Court, dismissed the suit instituted by D. K. Raynes, a negro, at the suggestion and expense of the Afro- American League, of Washington, to test the constitutionality of the suffrage clause of Louisiana, by which 9) per cent. of the regroes are disfranchised, which clause has been adopted in North Carolina and is in the process of adoption in Alabama. Raynes demanded registration. claiming that the constitutional and statutory laws in regard to the reg- istration are unconstitutional, The court decides that if this convention prevails Raynes could not be regis- tered, because the supervisor would have no legal duty to perform in connection with registration. A significant pointin the decision is the declaration that if part of the law affecting suffrage qualification is unconstitutional, it does not in any manner affect the other sections and ifit be found that the famous grandfather clause, section five, by which men are given the electoral franchise because their grandfath- | crs were voters, is unconstitutional, | tais doesn’t affect sectiops one and | two, which make ability to read and ! write, or the ownershipof property, | tke basis of suffrage. The grand-! father clause giyes those few illiter-| ate white men without property the | right to vote because of their erand- fathers: If the action of your bowels is not} easy and reguiar serious complica- | tions must be the final result.

At first the company’s expects- tions were tully realized, for patron- aste was attracted to the: lines and the receipts were greatly increased.

Mr. Johnson has a sore foot and was wearing an old shoe that had been cut in several places. Mr. Johnston and Mr. Brown were sitting beneath an oak tree talking on 2 little business, when Mr, John- ston espied the head of a snake creeping from under his feet. He immediately took his knife and pull- ed the reptile quietly from its hiding place, only to find it crushed unto ceath, It was of the copperhead variety and was probably 12 inches long. The snake had crawled in the shoe and was tramped to death sev- eral hours before its dead body was discovered. a Senator Simmons Says McLaurinism Is Played. 3 Raleigh News and Observer. Senator Simmonsis of the epin- that McLaurinism will amount to little in South Carolina or anywhere else. Hethinksit is daily becom- ing weaker and that the movement will soon bea thing of the past. The effort to introduce it into this State, he says has failed utterly. “Tn the mountains this summer [I met many South Carolinians,” he said ‘‘and some of them were gold Democratsand McKinley sympathiz ers. While they are favorable to the WcLaurin movemert, they are hope- less of its success. One of them, the best informed man I met in re- gard to South Carolina politics, told me there could be no doubt as to the outcome of the struggle be- tween Jillmanand McLaurir: that McLavrin is no match for his antag- onist. “As to the movement, imported into this State under the titles of ‘Business Men’s Leagues,’ ‘Com- mercial Democracy,’ the ‘New Dem- ocracy,’ and the like, I think that reached its climax with the forma- tion of one lone league with a dozen men at Louisburg. You will hear very little more of the movement, I predict.”’ Working Nightand Day The busiest and mightiest little thing that ever was made is Dr. King’s New Life Pills.

When the civil war came on be was elected captain of a Confederare con.puny and was notéd during the entire war for his intrepid Garing and splendid judg ment.

Gray has lived with a daughter near the Iredell county line but as his mind grew weaker and he became more uncontroilable he was more burdensome to the fam- ily and it was decided to appeal to the county commissioners to help aim.

Itis supposed that the deed was done by Rogers's friends who spread the Ox- ford lynching story as a blind to get the officer with his prisoper away from Wilton. Constable Frank Blackley, who had Rogers in charge, was his avow- ed friend and one of the witnesses summoned forhim orn the prelimi nary tris}. Tnoughhe was not put eu thestand,he made no secret of his sympathy for the deferdant. Before de trial Blackiey allowed Rogers, who was is bis custody, the greatest Hiberty, evenallowing him to ride about over the country, sttend church and cail ona young womav to whom heis said tobe engaved After the trial Blackley expressed great regret at its outcome. Governor Aycock will offer a re ” a> ward for Rogers, unless he is re arrested at once. a eee Successful Negro Who Lets Peclitics Alone.

Mike thus hasin round numbers 800 acres of valuable land. When asked by your corres- pondent about the value ofit,he said, “T would not like to take $10,000 for it."” Heexpects to finish paying forit this fall.

Chapter 626 of the Laws of 1901 changes this by adding to the sec- 7 | tion 2US of the Code. the following: “Provided, that where an action is instituted upor a bill, note, bill of exchange liquidated and settied ac ~| count, or for divoree, and summons _|in such action shall be served on the defendant at least thirty d&ys be-| . {fore the term of court to which sum- ~|mons shsil be returnable, and a| ;|copy of the complaint filed in tbe} clerk's office at least thirty days before such term of court, then and in sueh case such action shall srand e tand could »Beo at Concord, jSueday uizoe | Ubariestou Oxposition. flu Charleston ab nes “ for uesses on SrATH NEWS.

Buffalo, Dispatch, 6th, President McKinley was shot and seriously wounded by a would-be as- sassin while holding a reception in the Temple of Musie at the Pa» took etfect in the right breast, the otheria the abdomen. The*first is not of a serious nature and the latter pierced. the abdominal wa!! anc has not been located. Tt was a few minutes after 4 p. m. while President McKinley was hold ing a public reception in the great Temple of Music, on the Pan-Ameri can grounds, that the cowardly at- tack was made, with what success time alonecan tell. The Presidenr, thovgh well-guarded by Unite: States Secret Service detectives, was fully exposed to such an attack as occurred. He stood at the edge of the raised dais upon which stands the great pipe organ at the east side of the magnificent structure. Throngs of people crowded in, to gaze upon their executive, perch- ance toclasp his hands, and ther fight their way out in the good- natured mob that every minute swelled and multiplied at the points of ingress and egress to the build- ing. The President was in a cheer- ful mood and was enjoying to the full the hearty evidences of good will which everywhere met his gauze Upon his right stood John G. Mil- burn, of Buffalo, president of the Pan-American Exposition, chatting with the-President and introducing to kim especially persons of note who approached. Upon the Pre- sidert’s left stood Mr. Cortelyou. It was shortly after 4 p.m., when one of tke throng which surrounded the presidential party, a medium sized man of ordinary appearance and plainly dressed in black, ap- proached asiftogreet the Presid- ent. Both Secretary Cortelyou and President Mileurn noticed that the man’s hand was swathed in a band age or handkerchief. Reports of by-standers differ as to his hend. Ke worked his way amid the stream of people up to the edge of the dais untii he was withintwo feet of tke Presidect. Mv. McKinley smi'ed, bowed and extencéed bis hand in that spirit of geniality the American people so weil know when suddenly the sharp crack ofa revolver rang out loud and clear. There was an instant and almost complete silence. The President stood stock still, a leok of hesitancy, almost of bewilderment, on his face Then he retreated a step while a pallor began to steal over bis fea tures. The multitude, only partial- ly aware that something serious had happened, paused in surprise, while necks were craned and all eyes turned as one toward the rostrum where a great tragedy was being en- acted. But of the multitude which wit- nessed or bore a part in the scene of turmoil and turbulence there was but.one mind which seemed to re- tain its equilibrium, one hand which remained steady. one eye which yxz- ed with unflinching calmness and one voice which retained its even tenor and faltered not at the iavst critical juncture. They were the mind aad the hurd and the eye and the voice cf President McKinley. After the first shock of the assas- sin’s shots, he retreated a step. Then as the detcctives lezped upva his assailant, he turned,* walied steadily toa chairand seated him- seif, at the same time removing his hat and bowing his hezd in his hands. In an instant Secretary Cortelyou and President Milburn were at his side. His waistcoat was hurriedly opened, the President meanwhile admonishing these about him to remain calm and telling them not to be alarmed. “But you are wounded,”’ cried his secretary. ‘“‘let me examine.’’ “No, I think not,”’ answered the President. ‘Tam not badly hurt, T assure you.”’ Nevertheless his outer garmente were hastily loosesed and when a trickling stream of crimson was seen to wind its way down his breast, spreadiuyr its telltale stain over the white surface of the linen their worst fears were confirmed. Just after the shot with the leap of of a tiger three men tarew themselves forward as with one im- pulse and sprang toward the would- be assassin. Two of them were United States Secret Service men, who were on the lookout and whose duty it was to guard against just such a calamity as had here befalien the President and the nation. The third was a bystander, a negro who oad only an instant previously grasped in his dusky palm the hand of the President. As one man the trio hurled themselves upon the President’s assailant. In a twink- ling he was borne to the groand, his weapon was wrested from his grasp and strocg arms pinioned him down, and hustled him tothe rear of the building where he was held while the building was cleared and later he was turned over to Superintend- ent Bull, of the Buffalo police depart- ment, who tock the prisoner to po- lice headquarters. As soon as the crowd in the Temple of Music had been dispersed sufficeatly the Presi- dent was removed in the automobile ambulance and taken to the exposi- tion hospital, where an examination was made. The President retained the fu! exercise of his faculties uatil placed on the operating table and subjected to an araesthetic. Upon the first examination it was ascertained that right breast just below the nirpie, causing a comparatively barmiess wound.

Jim likes the Southern way of deing things. This leads us to remark that the Ameci- can negro isat home nowhere but in the South.

There isa suggestios that Jim Parker be rewarded ‘cr his promptness and bravery in Hané- ling Czvigosz and it should de dose. Anappointment to wait about <be executive mansion with a good sal- ary for life would be a fitting re- ward, ——— The country should be made too hot to hold anarcuists and socialists. Their teachings are foreign to the spirit of American institutions,even if unaecompained by crimes such 2 the oneat Buffalo last Friday. / ‘law should be passed at the nex session of Congress requiring pros- pective immigrants from foreign wzoveroments to exhibit certificates from the authorities of the localities from wkich they removed that they are nct members of anarchist or so- cialistie societies before they will be allowed to land on our shores. Congress should also pass 3 law banishing every man and woman in the United States whois proven tc bo an anarchist or socialist. Among our rocent insular acquisitions a suitable island can be found for a penal colony of the undesirable ver- min of the class of Czolgosz, Emma Goleman and the rest. It’stime for our government to deal with anarchy and socialism with fa mailed basd. Lenger delay is dangerous. s A ~~ + u —— ~g Partisanship has been laid aside fora week and we have all simply been Americans. Before we divide into hostile camps again it is well that- we renewour patriotism, As partisans we accuse the other side of everything mean and rascaily, but the fact is that the worst admin- istration of our government in all our history has been better than the best of any other government in all time.

We have unlimited faith in the capacity of women to do whatever they under- take, especially when they are or ganized in such large numbers as are the Daughters of the Confederacy. Two years ago the Davis Memorial association turned over its work and the $20,000 it-had collected to the Dauvhters of the Confedecacy. The ladies have increased the fund to $35,000, which is in bank drawing interest. The Daughters of the Confederacy have announced their determination of raising $40,000 more and having the monument finished in two years —and they will doit. The total fund will then be $75,000, and the Davis monument will be one of the handsomest in the country. _ orm —-—- — Ytiss Deuscka Turner returned yesterday to Morgaxton.

Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 14th, The following report of the autop- sy upon the remains of President McKinley was issued at 5 o’clock. The bullet, which struck over the breastbone, did not pass through the skin and did little harm. The other bullet passed through both walls of the stomach near its lower border. Both holes were found to be perfectly closed by the stitches, but the tissues around each hole had be- come gangrenous. After passing through the stomach the bullet pass- ed through into the back walls of the gangrenous, the gunyrene involving the pancreas. Zhe bullet kas not yet been found. There wus no sign of peritonitis, or disease of other able by any surgical or medical treatment and was the direct result of the bullet wound, DR. WASDIN THINKS THE BULLETS WERE POISONED. No coroner’s inquest was held. | Pursuiig the precedent laid downin} the case of Garfield, the coroner} simply viewed the body “this morn | ing and iater gave a certificate in! accordance with the result of the; autopsy, which declared death was! unavoidable by any surgical or medi- } cal treatment and was the direct re- ; sult of the bullet wound. The report | of the autopsy has again given rise} toa theory hinted at a day or twoaft- er the President was shot, that Czol- | gosz. in order to insure the accom-| plishment of his purpose, poisoned | the bullets he fired. The gangrene | found in the path of the bullet, is thought to be strong evidence in support of this view by Dr. Wasdin, | one of the consulting } al Service. however, do not attach much impor- tance to this theory. pulse re A Woman Came From Ohioto Marry a Greensboro Coon, but Kicked.

The Body of Wiham McKinley Bur- fed at Canton, His Home. | From the Dispatches, The funeral trzin arrived at Canton Wednesday of last week and met at the station by an immence throng of people, headed by the Governor of Ohio. The body was carried to the bearse and the procession formed. In the procession was the entire State guard of Ohio, 8,000 strong. the procession moved to the court house, wherethe body lay in state Wednesday sfternoon, and fully 30,000 people viewed the remains. At night the body was taken to the hicKinley heme. Thevrief of the people of the President’s home city was intense. Every house was drap- ed with black and thousands shed tears as they viewed the face of their dead neighbor and friend for the last rime, | } i ' ' } | | THE FINAL DAY. Thursday with majestic solemnity, surrounded by his countrymen and the President of the United States, the cabinet, justices of the United States Supreme court, Senators and Representatives iv Congress, tke head of the military and naval es- tablishments, the Governors of States, and s great concourse of people who ha@ known and !eved him, all :hat is mortal of the a President to fall by an assassin’s vullet was committed tothe grave to-day. It was a spectacle of mourn- ful grandeur. Canton ceased to ba a town and swelled to the propor tions of a great city. From every city and bamlet in Ohio from the re- mote corners of the South and from the East and West, the human tide flowed into the town until 100,000 people were within its gates, here to pay their last tribute to the fallen chief. The final scenes at the First Metho dist church, where the funeral ser- vice was beld and the beautiful West lawn Cemetery, where the dody was consigned to a vault, .were sim- ple and impressive. The service at the church Gousisted of a brief ora tion, prayers by the ministers of three denominations and singing by & quartelte. The body was then taken to Westlawn and placedin a nis receiving, vault, pending the time when it will be finally laid to rest beside thedead children who were buried years ago. The fuueral cor- teye was very impressive, and in ciuded not only the representatives of the army and navy of the United States, but the entire military strength of the State of Onio fraternal end other organizations. It was two miles lony. MRS. MCKINLEY NOT PRESENT. Oce of the most pathetic features of the day wus tha sbdsence of Mrs. McKinley from the-tnneral services at the church and in the cemetery when the body of her husband was laid to rest. Since the first shock of the shovting, then of the death aud through the ordeal of state care monies, she had borne up bravely. but there is a limit to human endur- aace and when today came is foun her too weak to pass through the trisis of the final ceremonies. Through the open door of her room she heard the prayer of the minister as the. body was borne out of tho house. After that Dr. Rixey re- mained close by her side, and al- though the full force of the calamity had come upon her, it was believed by those about her that there was a providential mercy in her tears, as they gave some relief to the argruish of the heart within. AtT o'clock to-night President Roosevelt and the members of the cabinet started back to Washing- ton. | MRS. MCKINLEY’S CONDITION SERIOUS. Mrs. McKinley’s condition is ex- citing grave apprehension amoug those caring for her, and it is feared that the dreaded collapse may come aitany Moment. Sinceshe has re- turned to the old home the fuil real- ization of the full caiamity has come upon ber. Last evening after the bedy had been brought from the court house and deposited in the lit tle front room formerly used as the President’s library she pleaded. to be allowed to enter the room jand sit beside the casket. Consent was re- luctantly granted and for kalf an beur the stricken widow sat in tbe dim room beside the flower-craped giver. Lhen she was away to her room and has not left it since. Through this morning she wept pit- eously hour after hoar Owing to her condition she was able to take ny part in any of the ceremonies to day, neither at the church nor the cuming into the chumber of deaih when the body was borne away for the last time. From this time on she will be guarded with the most solicitous care and quiet, for it is only in this way that 2 collapse can j.be averted. THE CASKET NOT REOPENED The face of the President wes seen for the last time when it lay in state yesterday in the court house. The casket was not opened after it was removed to the McKinley residence and the members of the iamily had no opportunity to look upon the si lent features again. The casket was seated before it was borne away from thecourt house. When Mrs. vickKialey came into the death cham- per last night for her last momeuts veside her dead busband she wished to have a finallook at the upturned face. But this was impossible and the sealed casket with its flowers and flags were all that she saw. THE BODY BORNE FROM THE HOUSE. As the presidential party came up the black chargers of Troop A swunginto battalion front facivg the house and tke foag line of flash- ing sabres advanced to salute Now the deep-toned wail of the church bells began and every Steeple in Canton gave forth its dvlorovs viaint. Lt was 1:15 o’ciock, and the time had come for taking up tbe gody A brief priva:e service had vecu béld within tbe darkene : cham ner, Dr. Winebester Suyiby & prayer while thé relatives gathered ground and Mrs. McKinley listened [fom tac naif open dvot of her adjoininy room. ‘The double file of body bear- Jed n a his townspeople, in the presence of! ers aow stepped into the room and ;Taising the flag-wrapped casket to their shoulders, bore it through the open entrance. A soiemn hush fell upon the multitude as the bearers advanced with measured tread. Not a bugle blast went up; not a strain of the hymns the dead ruijer had lov- ed so well. The scene was majestic in its silence. As the casket was ; borne alony above the line of heads .could be seen ibe enfolding Stars and Stripes and on top great masses of white roses and delicate lavender orchids. Tenderly the coffin was committed to the hearse and the si lence was broken, as the order to march passed from officer to officer. ARRIVAL AT THE CHURCH It was avout 1:45 0 clock when the procession passed the court house jand turned into Tuscarawas street \to the stately stone edifice where the funeral services were to be heid, At the church entrance were drawn up deep tiles of soldiers with byonets udvanced, keepicg a clear area for the advancing casket and the long train of mourners. The hearse halt- ied while President Roosevelt and members of the cabinet alighted. Again they grouped theiselves at either side of the entrance and with luncovered heads 2 waited the passayze fof the casket. Then the coflin was brought from the hearse and taken linte the draped entrance, the cabi- jnet following the President. The Mourners, too, passed in, but the stricken widow was notamong them. she had remained behind in the old home. alove with her grief. THE SERVICES BEGIN. It was 2 o'clock when the quar- tette arose and lifted up their voices with the touching words of *‘Beauti- ful Isle of Somewhere.’’ Wheu the sound of the tast had died away, Rev. O. B. Milligan, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, in which Pres- ident and Mrs. McKinley were mar ried 30 years ago, offered a fervent prayer. Every head within the church bent in solemn reverence as the invocatioa went up. Dr. John A. Hall, pastor of the Trinity Lutheran church, then read }from the Bible the beautiful Nine- iteenth Psalm and Rev. E. P. Her- i bruek verses 41-58 of the 25th chap- ter of First Corinthians. With great feeling he read the inspiring words, telling of the mystery that all would not sleep but all would be changed. The quartette then sang Cardinal Newman's grand hymn,the veautiful words floating through all the church. Dr. ©. E. Manchester then delivered an address which last- ed 24 minutes, on the life of the late President and the the lessons tauyht oy his noble character and death. ““NEARER MY GOD, TO THEE’ THE LAST HYMN, Biszop I.W. Joyce, of Minneapolis, followed witha brief prayer, and the services were concluded with the siuging of the hymn wkich Presi- dent McKinley repeated on his death bed, ‘‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The entire congregation arose and jeined in the Isst stanza. Father Valtman, of Chicago, chaplain, of the Twenty-nincth Infantry, pronounced the benediction. The notes of organ rose. The coffin was taken up and borne from the church. The relatives and those in official life went out in the order they had en- tered. THE LAST MARCH RESUMED. It was after 3 o'cleck when the silent and anxious througs outside the church saw the solemn payeant re- appear throuyh the cbuarch doors. Out Tuscarawas street the tong pro cession moved through a section of the city where the sound of the dirge had not been before heard. But it presented the same sorrow stricken aspect that had been observed in the heart of the city. Funeral arches spanned the s@reet, some of them, it is understood, having been erected by school children. The houses were hung in black and even the stately eims along the way and their trunks evshrouded iu black and white dra pery. SENTRIES GUARD THE VAULT. One hour and forry minutes after the hearse had entered the cemetery the place was clear and the dead President was resting alone under the watchful care of men of the reg- ular army. A _ sentry’s measured tread resounded from the cement walk before the yauit, another kept vigil on the grassy siape above and at the bead and at the foot of the casket Stood armed men Before the door which was not closed to- night was pitched the tent of the guord and there it will remain uetil the doors are closed toemerrow. Septries will then guard the vault every hour of the day and night un- til the body bas been borne to its final resting piace. ‘TAPS’? SOUNDED OVER THE GRAVE. Bishop Joyce, cf Minneanolis, read the.burial service of the Metnodist chureb slowly, butin a voiee that could be plainly heard by all who were grouped around the vault Colone) Bingham waved his hand to the Canton bard, which had taken station on the side of tbe mound above and to the south of the vault, Instantly from the sigh of bugles rang out the notes of the soldier’s last call, “taps.’’ It was beautiful- ly done and the last notes of the bugles died away sosoftly that all who heard it remained listening for a few seconds to hearif it was really ended. It was the last moment for the men who had been so closely as- sociated with the President for so long and the thought seemed great- er than most of them cculd bear. Tt was ali ended at last and Captain Biddle, of Company G, of the Four- teenth infantry, who will command the guard which is to be placed around the vault, stationed sentr‘es at the bead and foot of the- casket and in front of the vault.

The torpedo boat destroyer, the Cobra, has foundered in the North Sea, the result of an explosion. The ship was en route from the yard of her builders, the Armstrongs, of Newcastle, to Portsmouth, and car- ried 42 naval men and 55 men in the employ of the contractors. Twelve men were saved and it is believed they are the only survivors. Five boats were launched after the Cobra struck but some of them were swamped in the heavy sea which was running at the time. The first intimation or the disas- ter was the arrival of afishing boat at Yarmouth with six bodies, which she had picked up iu the viciaity of the spot where the Cobra was last seen. According to the fishermen the Cobra was sighted by the light- ship off Dowsin sands yesterday morning, enveloped in steam and she shortly afterwards disappeared. The men on the lightship supposed the Cobra had sailed away, until the evening when they observed bodies floating in the waterand signalled to investipate the disaster. A dispatch from Middlesbdoro says 12 survivors of the crew of the Cobra were janded there this morning and confirm the first report that all the others were drowned. The British admiralty has received information that the explosion occurred after the Cobra struck a rock and that she sank immediately. The Cobra like her sister boat, the Viper, was a turbine-engined vessel. _ She had just left the yard of her contractors and was ondergoing a boiler test. The Cobra had 77 souls on board. For 65 no hope is held out, but tor- pedo boats and cruisers have gone at full speed to the scene of the disas- ter, which is the most serious since the sinking of the Victoria. Lieu- tenast Bosworth Smith, the Cobra’s commander, stood upon the bridge with his arms folded, as impassive as if on parade, and went down with the vessel. About one year ago the torpedo boat destroyer Cobra beat the record of the Viper and won the title of the fastest vessel in the world. The record of the Viper, which was aft- erwvards wrecked, was 43 miles an hour, while the Cobra, in an unoffic- ial trial over the same course as that sailed by the Viper, at the mouth of the Tyne, made 3,78 knots or 45.3 miles. The Cobra was an exact du plicate of the Viper. Lodge and Roosevelt. Boston Record. Mr. Lodge is the bosom friend and politicalmentor of Colonel Roose- velt.

If this is done the position will be given to H. C. Summers, who has the backing of Congressmar Blackburn. The statement that the Supreme Court had decided the evidence of a bloodhound invalid was too sweep- ing. It was not a general decision, but applied only to the particular ease from Pitt ceunty, in which the dog had before tracking the defend- ant only smelied a basket belonging to him, and in which confirmatory evidence was lacking. The court does not deny the evidence of blood- hounds nor its admissibility when there is corroborative eyidence add- ing to its positiveness. A Novel Suit Compromised. Raleigh News and Observer.

It is said that the oil mill men met recently in New Orleans and agreed that they would pay but 123 centsa bushel for cotton seed the coming year.. This price is entirely too low, even if the crop was 2 full one; but now, when the mills are paying big dividends and the farmers have a very short crop of bochcotton and seed, this action of the mills is damnable, and we hope that away was found at Raleigh yesterday to either make the mills pay a full and fair price or to starve them out. The farmers “-broke tbe jute men from sucking eggs’’ some years ago, and they havethe power now to put the screws to the cotton oi} men, and they should be screwed up tight. We expect a telegram from Raleigh before we go to press and we hope it will contain good news for our farmers. 2 <a Some weeks ago the sheriff of Washington county through his at- torney, State Senator H.

Robinson, and the man- Gamus asked for was refused. It is said the plaintiff will appeal. ‘The matter of railroad taxation was compromised by Governor Aycock and the roads with the full know- lere of the Legislature, and this suit should never havebeen brought. The railroads probably pay as full taxes as other tax-payers. If Senator Ward was playing politics when he brought tkis suit, it was poor poli- ties. eet i © E> © <i The race for the associate justice- ship conceded to eastern North Carolina seems to be between Judge Geo.

The Senator fools, bimself, for there are not enough “commercials’’ to affect many coun- ties and Senatorial districts, eveu Republican party, which is extreme- ly improbable. The Senator should remember that many a man talks of ‘independence’ and ‘voting for whom he pleases’ in the odd num- bered years who becomes one of the hardest working and most regular of Demecrats when the lines of bat- tleare formed. Faith will do much, but Senator Pritchard’s faith in his own re-election to the United States Senate in January, 1903, is like unto thar of the alchemist who expects to turn brassinto gold, or of the confiding ‘Reuben’? who passes over bis good money for the alluring gold-brick.

The coroner, who lives some distance away, was sent for and arrived this morning. Heviewed the remains and he, too, became one of the doubt- ers. But it was not his business to decide, so he gathered up the tiny bones and brought. them to town that the county physician might see them.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. t used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin- ning in kidney treuble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamip-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized.

Lewis were appointed judges and the array of nicely browned biscuits that were placed before them were enough to puzzle even such good cooks as they were, After much study they set aside ali the_plates of biscuits except five, which proved to be those baked by Ludie Stewart. Sallie Ramsey, Edith Smith, Hallie Morrison and Belle Mort. Finally the contest narrow- ed down toachoice between Ludis Stewart and Sallie Ramsey and when three of the judges voted for Ludic Stewart, she was awarded the bondseme jit:leranve.

Later on, when the Governor ordered an investigation of the Trust Company, causing trou- ble for many eminent Republicans, imcluding Superintendent of Insur- gnce Louis F. Payne, the decision was doubleriveted that the only way to get Roosevelt out of the way 23 to haye him nominated for Vice President. PLATT INSISTED ON ROOESVELT. Senator Hanna and President Nc- Kinley really desired to have Secre- tary of the Navy Long named for Vice President, but Mr. Platt took advantage of the popular demand from the West that the gallant Rough Rider Colonel should be the candidate and pressed his point. The result was that, alinough the New York delegation did not put Roose- velt jorward, Senator Hanna final- ly yielded and Mr. Roosevelt was named. Thedetails of the arrang- fog of the slate on behalf of New York were looked after by B. B. dell, the chairman of the State Qomiiittes, Senator Platt having to go home because of his broken rib. Now mark the result of that e- went, regarded asso auspicious by pll of the New York machine Repub- licaus. Senator Platt has as Presi- dent aman on whom he heaped con- temptuous jibes; he cannot hope to contro] the new President on any subject unless it appeals to Mr. Roosevelt as @ proper one without Mr. Platt’s indorsement. PLATT WILL HAVS TO COMPRCMISE. President Roosevelt is not looking for a fight in any quarter, but it will be Senator Platt who will now have to swallow bis pride and look for peace. Senator Platt’s friends will want the Secretary of the Treasury to continue his war on Appraiser Wakeman, but before the Secretary can do this he will have to get an indorsement from the new President. Senator Platt will want the Pres- ident to protect Collector Bidwell and the rest of what is known as the ““Custom-house ring.’’ If he suc- ceeds in that, he will uudoubtedly, it is said, have toshow enough in- fluence to keep the facts of the re- cent occurrences at the Custom- house from Mr. Roosevelt. Only in that way, it is said, can he hope to prevent trouble for his chief dispen- ser of Federal patronage in New York. The situation is somewhat similar in the case of Senator Hanna. Only yesterday he was the most promi nent and influential Republican in the United States. He could prob- ably have named the successor to Mr. McKinley. As chairman of the National Republican Committee and the bosom friend of the President, his power in national politics prac- tically had no limit. Politicians were beginning to believe that Mr. Hanna was leaning toward Governor Odell as the successor of McKinley in 1904. HANNA WILL LOSE PRESTIGE. Senator Hanna has no quarrel with the new President andthe new President has -no fight with Mr. Hanna, yet it is doubtful if the great Cleveland leader will have even a small percentage of the influence at the White House that he had last week, before the President came to Buffalo, Again, look at the case of Gover- nor Odell. He is a candidate for the presidency. His friendsare all laying plans to further his chances and put him at the head of -the tick- et three years hence. But now Mr. Roosevelt is actually President from the State of New York. And he is ambitious to rua for President and be elected. Having stepped into the office as the result of assassina- tion will stiffen him in his desire to be elected as President, He is many times more formidable asa candi- date than he would be as Vice Presi- dent. As Vice President he would probably been unable tomake even an interesting campaign against Governor Odellin New York. As President he will put up a fight that will once more put the old machine in diffiicult straits. Bearing in mind that the man who steered the details of Roosevelt’s nomination at Philadelphia was Governor Odell, the reader is at lib- erty to figure out what pleasant thoughts are running through the mind of the chief executiveof tke State of New York, E> - New Party Found. Kansas City Dispatch, 2oth- ‘Lhe delegates representing seven political parties of reform, whocame here to “the Allied Third party’’ conference, held their first joint de- bate session to-night, after two days of seperate conference meetings be- hind closed doors. It was decided that the new party is to be called “the Allied party”’ and a platform embodying the certain principles was agreed upon by the conference committees. It demands the initia- tive and referendum and public ownership of public utilities; favors “‘scieatific money, based on the en- tire wealth of the people of the na- tion, and not redeemable in any specific commodity, but to be full legal tender for all debts, to be iss- ued by the government only without the intervevtion of banks, in suffi- sassin. He talked on the Polish Al- liance and a variety of other subject, but when I spoke of his crime, he merely said: ‘What’s the use of talking about that? I killed the President. I am an anarchist. I simply did my duty. That’sall Ill say.’ Czologsz spoke earnestly and determinedly. I tried him several ways, but be would not add a word to his declaration. I don’t believe any one has any more from him about the crime. Czolgoszis intelli- gent and I don’t believe he will tell more. The closest watch is being kept on Czolgosz and the sheriff’s officers also seem bent on aiding the prose- cution by getting admissions from the prisoner, but so far they have been unsuccessful. The prisoner talks on ordinary subjects occasion- ally, but will not talk on subjects leading up to the assassination of the President. When questioned in that relation Czolgosz resumes his stubborn silence. oo oO The Schley Court Reconvenes. Washington Dispateh, 20th, The Schley court of inquiry re- convened to-day and before adjourn- ment examined four witnesees. The most importent incident of the day was the decision of the court itself, asking a witness to give his opinion concerning a point in controversy. The witness was Rear Admiral Hig- ginson, who participated in the San- tiazo campaign as captain of the bat- tleship Massachusetts. This vessel at one time was a part of the flying squadron commanded by Commodore Schley and the court asked him to state whether all possible measures were taken to capture or destroy the Spanish vessel Christobal Colon as itlay in Saatiago Harbor from May 29 toJune 1, 1898. Counsel for Admiral Schley objected to the ques- tion on the ground that a reply would involve an cpinion and not a statement of facts. Judge Advocate Lemly admitted that the precedents were against questions of this char- acter and the court withdrew the in- terrogatory. It is generally admit- tedthat this decision will have the effect of materially shortening the term ofthe court, as will also the court,s manifest-intention to cut out irrelevant questions and all heresay testimony. In several! cases the witnessess were admonished to re- late only events coming within their own observation. Admiral Dewey showed pimselfa prompt and me- thodical presiding officer. He called the court to order exactly at the de- signated hour and adjourned it just as promply at 4 o’clock. The at- tendance of the public was small. Wholesale Killing of Lightning.

The man was fairly well dressed and was educated. He told the oyster men that he came from a good family but was cut off from them with a small allowance. The day after the President died, a passenger on a passing steamer threw a newspaper containing an account of the death aboard the sloop. The Pole secured it and while the crew- were waiting for him to read them the story, he exclaim- ed: ‘Good, and Teddy will be the nextina short time.’”’ The crew set upon him and severely beat him, rendering him unconscious. The captain and mate intervened, but later, when the master had gone aft, the crew picked the unconscious form up and threw it overboard. V————_— ee Johann Most Outon Bail New York Dispatch, 20th.

The new President will undoubed- ly endeavor to keep his promise,as to carrying out his predecessor’s pohiey, but that the members of Mr. MeKinley’s Cabinet will long remain in office is too much to expect. And here again the Arthur admin- istration may serve us asa guide. President Garfield died September 19, or only five days later than Presi- dent McKinley in the corresponding month twenty years after. Gar- field’s Cabinet remained intact un- der President Arthur until well in- to October, when Secretary Win- dom, of the Treasury Department, determined to resign in order to return to the Senate. His succes- sor, Mr. Folger, did not take charge of the department until November 15. Mr. Brewster succeeded Mr. MacVeagh as Attorney General December 16, and Mr. Blaineretired from the State Department Decem- ber 15. Postmaster General James withdrew about New Year’s. Thus the Arthur Cabinet was not thor- oughly reconstructed until some three months after General Arthur’s accession to power, while-no changes at all were made for at least a month thereafter. It is believed by statesmen gener- aily and by Republican politicians at the capital that the administration of the affairs of President Roosevelt will ultimately make a change of men and leaders, but that the gener- al principles of the late President will remain unchanged. Even al- ready there come from Washington rumors of contemplated or probable changes in the Cabinet: The dis- patches point toSecretary of War Elihu Root as the rising star. He seems to be the new President’s chief adviser and it is predicted that he will wield tremendous power in the new administration." And in this connection tha following from an editorial in the New York Sun, a recognized administration organ, is most significant: ‘For following the McKinley path in polities, which President Roose- velt announces that he will follow, the Cabinet as it stands will be of great assistance. No one would complain seriousiy if it should re- main with the new President absol- utely intact, and it would surely in- crease the general sense of security. For ourown part, we should be entirely content to see Secretary Hay keep his post and put the un- deniable excellence in his qualities as a public man at the President’s disposal. Itis not with the slightest thought of excepting him from the President’s favorable consideration that we mention Mr. Hay, but to say that, in case he should conclude to abandon the State Departmeat, the manto take his great place in the council of the State is clearly lihu Roct, the present Secretary of War.”’ There has been some talk of Sena- tor Lodge, of Massachusetts, as Secretary of State, but it 1s believed that both Mr. Lodge and President Roosevelt will prefer that ke remain to aid the President in the Senate, as it is well known that both agree perfectly on questions of foreign policy, and both are ardent expan- sionists. Also it seems to be settled that Senator Lodge is to become chairman of the Committee on For- eign Affairs, where he will become the executive officer of the President in shaping all matters pertaining to foreign policies. Should Mr. Lodge be prevailed upon to accept the premiership, it is probable that Senator Proctar, cf Vermont, will become the President’s personal representative onthe floor. There hasalways been a warm personal friendship between these two. That there will be changes in the Cabinet, there can be no doubt. Just who ofthe present officers will go and who remain, it is perhaps too early to predict, other than what is above stated in regard to Secretary Root. a ee Mr. McKinley’s Doctor's Bills Richmond Dispatch, / Following the precedent set in the Garfield case, Congress will nodoubt assume all the charges incident to the medical and surgical attendance upon President McKinley, the re- moval of his remains from Buffalo to Washington and thence to Canton, payment of undertaker’s bills, ete.

Although fond of social pleasures toa certain extent, this true-heart- ed American woman finds her great- est happiness iu her home. Mrs. Roosevelt is a close student of the question of the relation of woman to government, still she takes no part in the so-called ‘‘wo- man movement.” and has never join- ed any of the women’sclubs. But, admirable as are Mrs. Roose- velt’s relations asa woman of the world, home-maker and mother, they all are incomparable to her supreme virtue of wifehood. Brilliant,clever able and administrative as she is, from first to last, always sheis a tender, loving and sympathetic wife. Such is the woman who, under these sad and trying conditions is called upon to become thechatelaine ofthe White House and the people of the United States will learn to love her as they admire the rugged courage, independence and indomit- able persistency of her husband, President Roosevelt. —_—_—_—_—— Se Se Chanler Turns Up Sane. Charlottesville, Va., Dispatch, 20th. Jchn Armstrong Chanler, the di vorced husband of Amelie Rives (now Princess Troubetskoi), who bas been lost for abouta year, ar- rived in the city at 10:05 o’clock this morning from Lynchburg, where he has been for the past six weeks. He was met at the depot and driven to the residence of Capt. Micajah Woods, his friendand counsel. Aft- era brief stay he took theC. & O. train for his old home at Keswick, Albemarle county. On the 13thof March, 1897, Mr. Chanler, then a citizen of Alvemarle county, Va., visiting in New York, was committed to Bloomingdale Asylam, at White Plains, N. Y., on an order ofa judge of the Supreme Court of that State. On Thanksviv- ing eve, 1900, after numerous fruit- less efforts to secure legal counsel, he escaped from the asylum and went to Philadelphia. There,under the guise of an attorney represent- ing aclient, hesubmitted his case to a distinguished neurologist, Dr. J. Madison Taylor, and upon Dr. Tay- lor’s expression of willingness to assume charve of his alleged client, he disclosed his identity. In order to afford Dr. Taylor ample time and opportunity for observation, Mr. Chanler, of his own motion and without compulsion, repaired toa private sanitarium in Philadelphia under the charge of Dr. Taylor and remained under his perscnal super- vision there for six moths During this time 2 number of eminent alien- ists, neurologists and psychologists were called in consultation by Dr. Taylor and the records of the pro- ceedings in Louisa county disclose the unanimous opinion of all these experts as to Mr. Chanler’s sanity. Later, having placed himself in touch with his counsel by corcespondence, he came to Lynchburg, Va.; where he lived up to the 10th of September when he returned to his homein Albemarle county, where he now is and where proceedings will be iusti- tuted under the Virginia statutes to demonstrate before a court of com- petent jurisdiction and in an affirm- ative manner his entire sanity. His attorneys are Commonwealth’s At- torney Micajah Woods, of Albemarle county, Va., Senator John W. Dan- iel and his law partner, Fred Har- per, of Lynchburg; Hon. Armistead Gordon, of Staunton, and Hon. Au- gustus Van Wyck, of New York. > <a> fpr Mrs, McKinley Visits the Grave.
