C., oa May 27th, 1901, in the suit of B. F. Long, Administra tor* vs. North Carolina Railroad et. al., against myself and the juror, J. H, Brown, I have determined to ten- der my resignation to the Southern Railway Company, and to insist up- on the acceptance of same at the earliest possible moment. “WhileT belieye that you and every other official connected with the Southern Railway Company have full confidence in my integrity, I feel it a duty that I owe myself,* as wellas to the Southern Railway Company, to withdraw myself from its seryice. For sixteen years I have been in the company’s service. A record of service so long contin- ued, bespeaks some character for a man. That my superiors believe in me and haye confidence in me I am sure; for there has ever been an hon- est and faithful endeavor on my part to perform my duty, and it is as gratifying to me, as it must be pleasing to my superiors, to know that my record of many years ser- vice tells in my favor, for all that is upright, faithful and dutiful. In withdrawal from the service, I have a record to sustain me; that record I mean to uphold aad strive ever to maintain in futureas Ihave in the past, so as always to be worthy of all that a good record implies in a man’s favor.’’ (Mr. Gorham will be remembered as having been sentenced to 20 days imprisonment and $50 fine for con- tempt of court in attempting to tamper with J.

The ron.ance inthe life of Ken- tucky’s governor and his young bride, which has been whispered about at Bardstown, tbe home of both, but which has just become public, is also the story of the bud ding of theambition of the young man to become governor of the com- monwealth. “It was many years ago.’ said Govervor Beckham. “A party of us from Bardstown had paid a gisit to the monastery at Gethsemane. A young lady inthe party asked one of the monks why we could not en- ter the place. I remember very dis- tinctly his reply. “If Mr. Beckham lives to become governor and you should marry him, then I promise that you shall visit the inner part of the monastery.’ “There was nothing strange about the remark, but the ambition arose in me tooccupy the highest office of the State and to marry Miss Fuqua, the questioner of the monk.”’ Beckham was a lawyer and soor secured his election to the levisla ture, where be was made speaker of the house. * He then made the race for lieutenant governor on the tick- et with William Goebel and won Goebel’s assassination left him gov- ernot and he was shortly afterwards elected to the office by the vote of the people. Having realized his am- bition to become governor, he sought in marriage Miss Fuqua and his recent visit to the monastery was the finale to that Sunday after- noon’s visit and the thoughtless talk with the monk at the gate of the abbey.

A number of growers and shippers have expressed themselves as very well satisfied with the prompt and effective manner in which the South- ‘i this direction, and this liberal and progressive policy, together withthe vigorous promulgation of the same by the officials of the road, is having a decided upward tendency to stimulate and renew energy in this section, encourage the growers and shippers to increase the acreage next season, with results that will be mutually beneficial to growers, shippers, consignees an the South- ern Railway. The broad-minded and liberal policy thus displayed by the officials of the Southern Railway cannot be too highly praised, and presages the dawn of a progres- sive era for the fruit and produce shippers in this section, and prom- ises an object lesson to other rail- roads and officials, which will be worthy of emulation. The Southern Railway will have good reasons to feel proud of their officials when the object aimed at by the latter have been appreciated by the fruit and vegetable interests. The results attained are all the more commendable in view of the fact that ‘‘climatic conditions’’ for the past several months have tended to limit the shipments of market- able truck from this section, and prove that concentrated action by those interested in the development of the raising of -_products is bound to succeed.

She is the second woman ever to enter the walls of this mon- astery of Trappist monks the only other woman to enter being the wife of Governor J. Proctor Knott. Sev- eral women will accompany the par- ty to the doors of the lodge, but Mrs. Beckham alone will be admitted. At the gate she will be received by 25 monks, the abbott, Father O'Brecht, at their head. The party will first proceed to the chapel, where services will be held, the choir being composed of 50 male voices. The feat will be held at noon and only the products of the farm will be served, in accordance with the rules of the order. No wine will be served, contrary to the usual custom, on account of Mrs. Beck- ham’s aversion to strong drink. None of the monks wil! be allowed to speak to Mrs. Beckham. Many of them bave not gazed on a wo- man’s-face in 30 years, with the single exception of Mrs. Knott. _—_» Boers Active Again. London Dispatch, 6.

But J liked the fellow and decided that a little sternness from me in the present might be a favor to him in the future. SoI toldthem I had no authority to change it and would not do so, |] tried to show the foolishness of her objection: ‘Well, this household must have a head somewhere. I will leaye it out for her if you say it.” Then it was his time to refuse, which he did. He gathered up his hat and started for the door, when, presto, change! she sprangafter him led him back by the hand, looked meekly up at him and said it.”’ ‘Embarrassment,’ said the writ er, appears to be the natural con- comitant of matrimony. “ At least this is true in the incipient stages. Invariably, however, there isa strik- ing contrast between the relative composure of the man and the wo man. Both arenervous, but pvever both at the same time.

Anold saying, runs something like this: “It makes all the difference in the world whose ox is being gored.”’ When Cleveland was president two editors of this neighborhood were all powerful in controlling fed- eral patronage. Ina certain town a Democratic primary was regularly called for the purpose of selecting a candidate for appointment as post- master. A certain Democrat receiv- edalarge majority of the votes, but be was persona non grata to these two editors, and the wishes of the majority of the Democrats were set aside by the powers that were, in order that these same editors might have their way. In those-times our editors regularly preached the doc- trine of party regularity and the duty of Democrats to stand by the party organization. In the mean- time the people concluded to run the party themselves and the engin- eer and fireman jobs of these editors were declared vacant. Now we find these former day sticklers for party regularity and organization out-Populisting Popu- lists in howling “‘machine.”” With clasped hands and up-lifted eyes these aforetime crackers-of-the-par- ty-lash sit at the gates of the tem- ple and extol the beauties of “inde- pendence in politics’’and lument the wickedness of those Democrats who don’t believe their party is made up of fools and officered by scoundrels. Away with such hypocricy! To these editors the party organization is a ‘‘machine’’ because other men are at the head of it, and their de- sire for “independence in politics’’ srises from the fact that the Demo- cratic party has already become in- dependent of them. Their ox is “getting it in the neck;’’ hence, their bellowings. —$—_—— ee In 90 and ’91 Marion Butler, pro- fessing to bea Democrat, eternally criticised the Democratic State ad- ministration and preached indepen- dence in politics. . In "92 be led his followers out of the Democratic party and in ’94 fused them with the Republicans and negroes. The four years of misrule which that coalition gave the State are freshin the minds of the people. Now there are cer- tain newspapers and individuals in North Carolina, professing allegi- ance to the Democratic party, whose chief stock in trade seems to be crit- icism and abuse of the Democratic State administration and party or- ganization, and their shibooleth is Marion Butler’s old ery of indepen- dence in politics. Their chief de- sire appears to be to weaken the faith of Democrats in their party and prepare them to bolt whenever there is a prospect of success. Of course, success could ouly be possi- ble by uniting with the Republicans. The experience of North Carolinians with Republican contro! of the State is. too recent for them to want a rep- etition. Democrats, watch the pro- fessing Democrat who criticises everything tke party does and whose song is the hypocritical ‘‘indepen- dence in politics,’’ for such has been the conduct of all past bolters from the party. . ener a a Senator Pritchard has endorsed Collector Harkiys and District At- torney Holton for reappointment, and they will continue to hold their offices. A movement was on foot to have W: A, Lemley, of Winston, appointed collector and the office removed to Winston. This move- ment had our sympathy. Harkins has ignored the Republicans of this part ofthe State and filled the offices with ‘“‘western’’ men. Many of the Iredell Democrats who have busi- ness with the collector wanted the change and our sympathies were with them. Of course Senator Pritchard’s endorsement is fiual and our distiller friends will have to put up with Harkins, but they will not be troubled with Pritchard very much longer, the Lord be praised. _———ED> aa Among the signers to the petition to the Governor asking for the par- don of Quincy Freeze was the editor of a paper published here which has been violent and persistent in its criticism of Governor Aycock’s pardons.

Twenty-five charges are said tohave been made asainst him. Chester, Jr., was ar- rested this afternoon by Detective Sergeants Bock and Desousa, of the central station, after a chase of over six blocks in the down-town districts and was finally captured in the court yard of the Auditorium annex, after he had given the detectives a des- perate fight. Two weeks ago Cap- tain Coleran received a message from the chief of police of Kansasj City, to be on the lookout for Ches- ter and to notify all bankingand jew- elry firms to be slow indealing with 2 man answering Chester’s descrip- tion. As the detectives were pass- ing along Jackson boulevard, to-day, they saw a man emerge from the store at 47 Jackson boulevard. The suspicion ‘of the detectives was a- roused and they decided to place the man under arrest. reached Wabash avenue, he became suspicious of the detectives and ran. The detectives followed him and pedestrians seeing the trio running started in pursuit. Chester rau south in Wabash avenue to Harrison street, where he attempted to elude the detectives by boarding a Cottage Groye car. Jumping on the rear platform Chester ran through the car, knocking a woman down as she was attempting to alight at Harri- son street. Seeing the detectives and the crowd in hot pursuit, Ches- ter jumped from the car and ran east on Harrison street towards Michigan avenue. A number of cabmen were stand- ing at Harrison street and Michigan avenue and one of them, Frank Hyde, attempted to stop the pave- ment. Chester ran northon Micbi- gan avenue and to Jackson bovle- vardto Wabish avenue. Part of the crowd attempted to intercept him at the alley between Michigan and Wabash avenues. but, evidently determined to escape, Chester charged the crowd, knocking several of the men to the pavement and ran south inthe alley. Almost exbaust ed from hislong run, Chester kept going and turned from the alley into VanBuren street. crossing the street and running througha small passageway to the rear of the Chi- cago Club, he took refuge 10 the court yard in the rear of the audito- rium annex. Detectives Bock and Desousa saw Chester run between the buildings and followed. Sceing Desousa Chester uttered an oath and sprang athim. They grappled and wrestled when Bock assisted in overpowering the man. At the Central station Chester admitted to Captain Coler that he was the man wanted by the police of sev- eral cities. Chester told Captain Coler that he was the son of Mel- ville Chester, a banker of Boston, Mass , who is connected with the banking firm of Baker. Vetten & Chester. He is said to have committed over 60 forgeries in the last six months. He has been eagerly sought after by the police of Memphis, Boston, Cin- cinnati, Louisville, Pittsburg, New York, Galveston and Liberty, Mo., where he is said to have assaulted the sheriff in that city while the lat- ter was attempting to arrest him and wade his eseape. He is also wantedin Bloomington, Iil., Nor- mal, Til., Gertrude, Okla., and Kan- sas City. ———— ASouth Carolinian's 6-foot Whisk- ers, Greenville, S.C’, Dispatch. Besides having exciting polities and being the author of the dispen- sary system, South Carolina seeks the ‘distinction of producing the men with the longest whiskers. The neighboring county ef Laurens has within its borders more than half a dozen men whose whiskers touch the ground and these men are fully up to the average in height, too. Perhaps to J. W. Martin belongs the distinction of having the longest chin adornments. It is believed that if he did not keep them trimmed they would reach the length of thir- teen feet or more, for he has found that they grow not less than six inches each year. When his beard is taken outof the folds of his waistcoat it strikes the ground, and he stands a half inch less than six feet in height. Now in his fortieth year, he has not shaved since he was quite a young man, and he never expects to put another razor on his face, as he thinks by permitting his beard to grow his health is kept @s good as it could be. The hairis almost like silk. It just seems to be natural that most of the men of this region should have long whiskers, and with beards two, three or four feet long cause no comment when they ap- pear on the street. >< <a -- A Sweeping Snffrage Scheme Montgomery, Ala., Dispatch, rth. _ The first part of the new constitu- tion was today adopted by the con Stitutional convention. The office of Lieutenant Governor was created, and the Governor’s salary raised from $3,000 to $5,000. The terms of the executive officers were lengthen- ed from two to tour years, but they are ineligible for reelection. The Governor cannot become a candidate for United States Senator within one year of expiration of his term. The most sweeping suffrave scheme yet brought forward was that intro- duced to-day by Mr. Burns, of Burns- ville. It provides that the follow- ing classes shall not vote: Those who are bastards or loafers or who may be infected with any loathsome or contagious disease; those who have been convicted of treason, bribery, forgery, larceny, robbery, bigamy, seduction, incest, murder, rape or attempt to rape; arson or burglary. Those who -are descend ants of parents who are of or de- scenddnts oftwo or more different races; those who shall have married any woman having a living husband from whom she has not been legaily divorced; those who have committed any assault and battery on his wife or step-daughter.”’ This law destroys 90 per cent. of the negro vote, and the ex-slaves who are aot bebarred will be less than 5 per cent.

Side by side, each with a bullet wound in the temple, the dead bodies of L. Hartman and his wife” were found in their bed at the great North- ern Hotel this evening. The room showed no evideaces of a struggle, both lifeless forms were compésed, the covering of the bed well tucked about them, but the revolver clutch- ed in the right band of the husband told the story of the double tragedy. Of the pair that courted death so successfully nothing is known by the managers of the hotel, beyond a report that the man_ has wealthy connections in New York, and that the woman apparently was once an aetress under the stage name of Rose Violet. From information given by a woman who inquired for them this morning, it is supposed that the case is one of a runaway raarriage with death as the result of despondency over the obduracy of an unforgiving father.

An Eyc-Witness Tells the Story of this Famous Encounter. Correspondence of the The Memphis Commer- cial-Appeal. A notice in your yesterday’s issue of the death of Colonel A. H. Belo, the well known editor of The Galves- ton News, and mention of the fact that Captain Coussons,of Richmond. Va., had contributed a magnificent floral offering to the bier of his for- mer antagonist in a duel, recalls vividly to my mind one of the tragic episodes of the war. The brigade of General Joseph R. Davis was composed of the Second, Eleventh and Forty-second Missis- sippi Regiments, the Fifty-fifth North Carolina and Fourth Ala bama, division of Major General Law. Law was from Alabama and had entered the service as colonel of the Fourth Alabama, of which regi ment, my friend, Dr. Hudson, was surgeon and I was at that time sur- geon of the Eleventh Mississippi The Fifty-fifth North Carolina was commanded by Colonel Conally, Lieutenant Colonel Smith and Major A. H. Belo- Major Terrell was Law’s .chief of staff and Coussons was an aide. Ia a recent battle Major Terrell had criticised the conduct of the Fifty- fifth North Carolina. Colonel Con- ally promptly sent hima challenge and Belo immediately followed with a challenge to Coussons. The pre- liminaries were quickly arranged for adual combat. Conally and Terrell, Belo and Coussons were to tight in the same fieldat the same hour. | received a note from Major Belo io the eyening notifying me that he would fight Coussons next morning and requesting me toaccompany him as his medical attendant. We met promptly at the appointed hour in alittle, old, barren field, surround- ed by a dense pine forest. It was a dismal, cloudy morning and the mourning of the winds through the pines sounded like a funeral dirge. The two hostile parties were sepa- rated from view of each other by an intervening ridge. Our party proceeded without de- lay to their deadly work. The other party, it seemed, adopting the bet ter part of valor, fell to parleying. Belo and Coussons met, shook hands cordially and entered into free and easy conversation about the later war news, while the seconds were arranging the ground. In the choice of position Coussons was placed next to the woods, while Belo stood out in the open. Isee Belo yet as he stood there dressed in full uniform, buttoned to the throat, tall, slender. symmetrical and erect as»an Indian chief. With the proud and grace ful poise of the head, curling red mustache and steel gray eyes, he looked the picture of a warrior and acavalier. They were both ‘‘dead game,’’ but wholly unlike. Below represented the highest type of the Southern soldier, apparently fond of life but yet ready to sacrifice it for principle or good name. Coussons was as cold and calm and unrestrain- ed as though the presence of danger wasa pleasant anticipation. His appearance was striking and pecu- liar; dressed in a gray shirt.and dark trousers, he was devoid ofa military feature, his hair longand black asa raven, swept to his shoulders and|- eurled gracefully upward. His brow and eyelashes were intensely black, while his eyes were blue and clear as the sky. His skin was fair and soft and his expression dreamy and poetical. He had a strange, foreign look,as though he might have hadin his veins the mingled blood currents of a West Indiar and some proud old Spanish Don. They bow- ed away from each other to take their positions with the grace of ac- complished courtiers. Colonel Goldsby was second to Coussons and Captain Townes to Belo. The ‘“‘word’’ fell to Goldsby. Distance, 40 paces. weapons, Mis- sissippi rifles. They had choice of holding the weapons with muzzle up or down. Belo held his up and con- sequently fired with a falling shot. Coussons held his down and fired with a rising shot. The seconds stood twenty paces back from the line, facing each other half-way be- tween the principals. Thesurgeons stood the same distance back from the line, but opposite to and facing his prospective patient. Colonel Goldsby called in a clear, deliberate voice: “Gentlemen, are you ready?”’ **Ready,’’ was the prompt response. “One, two, three, fire!’”’ Bang—the fires were so simultaneous as to sound like one report. Instantly they brought their guns back and stood motionless as before. When it was apparent that neither would fali Coussons bowed and said: ‘Bad shooting, Major.’’ Belo returned the salutation and answered: ‘‘We must do better than that when we meet the enemy again.’’ Both seemed playing for the mastery. Colonel Goldsby asked: “Gentlemen, are you satisfied?’’ Belo answered in a clear, firm voice: ‘‘Not satisfied.” The xuns were reloaded and posi- tions resumed. ‘‘Gentlemen, are you ready?” ‘‘Ready.”’ ‘One, two, three, fire!’”’? Bang—and the keen crack of therifles was instantaneous. After a moment of awful suspense tous Belo quietly remarked: *‘Bad shooting again, Captain.’’ Coussons answered sharply and with apparent irritation: ‘Very bad,”’ as though he felt that his marksmanship had discredited him. Again Colonel Goldsby, who was a most refined and cultured gentleman with sym- pathies as tender as a woman’s, called out, almost with anguish in his voice: ‘Gentlemen, are you satisfied?’’ and once more from Belo came the quick response that sent a chill througtr us all: “‘Not satisfied.” The guns were reloaded for a third fire and I shall never forget the ex- pression of pain on Goldsby’s fine, pale face, ashe called out for the third time, Gentiemen, are you ready?’’ At this critical moment Dr. Hudson, from the other party, appeared on thecrest of the ridge waving his hat and shouting to us toholdon. Ashecame up, hat in hand, his first expression was: “Don’t fight sod—d fast; we are about to settle this matter oyer yon- der.’’ Goldsby and Townes readily agreed to accept any settlement made by the other parties. Hudson sooa returned to us, -escorting the other belligerents with the cartel in his hand. Everybody shook hands and the whole party adjourned to my ambulance in the woods nearby, where I had a gallon of fine whiskey which had beed provided exclusively for the wounded, but the morning air was damp and chilly and we all returned tocamp in high spirits. It was found that Belo had escaped with a scratch, Cousson’s second ball had entered the point of his shoulder, passed between the cloth: ing and skin and emerged at a cor- responding point on the oppos:te | shoulder. It was probably the sting of this shot that prompted to demand a third fire. One of Be-! io’s shots struck a pine sapling on a direct line with Cousson’s head, but | twoorthree incbes above. Firing ger,’ he had pulled just an instant too quick. Of that party Terrell and Townes were afterwards killed in battle. Colonel Conally was se- verely wounded and lost an arm. Belo, then a lieutenant colonel, was wounded in (front of Petersburg a few days before our lines were bro- ken. His arm was shattered by 2 minie ball, half way between shoul- der and elbow. I saved his arm by resecting about three inches of the cone. leaving a false joint. Dr. Hudson, genial, warm hearted. royal Hudson, died a few years after the war in Alabama. B. F. WARD, M. D Winona, Miss. > Deporting the Negroes. Boston Herald. It will be news to many people that Mr. Hinton Rowan Helper, the man who created such a stir in the politics of the country by his oook upon slavery printed on the eve of the rebellion, is still alive and writ- ing. Mr. Helper now wants the ne- gro deported from the South. He is far from being practical in his old age, whatever may be thought of his early consideration of the Southern race question. It is difficult to be- lieve that his present szheme can be treated seriously in intelligent quar- ters. The place of the negro is in the South. Heis better off there than in the Northern States, and to remove him entirely from the coun- try is impracticable, if it were desir- able. It isclear, also, to our mind, that the South needs him where he is, admitting all his faults. He is the natural Jaborer in that section, and to deprive the South of him in that capacity would be to take from her what is vitally essential to her prosperity. We agree with The Washington Post that ‘‘the great mass of the negroes whoraise crops, acquire property and add to the tax- abie wealth of the communities in which they live are far and away the best laboring and serving class the South has ever known, or ever will know,”’ —_—_———P + An Ultimatum to Cuba. Wasnington Disratch,7th. An ultimatum has been sent bv cable to the Cubans. Its meaning is that unless the Cu- bans accept the Platt amendment unequivocally that American troops will be kept in the Island indefinite- ly. va fter a lengthy conference, the President and cabinet decided this afternoon that the Cuban convention was to have no say as to the inter- pretation of the Platt amendment and that it must be accepted in its entirety. This was the cabinet’s decision andit was ordered to be cabled to Cuba. It is hard to predict the re- sults of this decision. The Cubans are already dissatis- fied over the treatment received at the hands of the administration and the conservative fifteen are liable to refuse to do the biddings of the American cabinet. The announcement that United States troops will remain in Cuba indefinitely uniess the Platt amend- ment is accepted, is rewarded as a threat to force the Cu- bau convention to act. Whether the ultimatum wil! result inan open breach between this country and Cuba is hard to say. oe A.Boyish Heroism. Philadelphia Dispatch, 6th. Fourteen year-old Frank Hess, of 3521 Sunnyside Avenue, Falls of the Schuylkill, has been regarded by his neighoors as just the average boy of make men of. But yesterday after- noon he proved himself to be the sort of which they also make heroes. ‘**Be careful you don’t lose it, and get back as quick as you can.”’ With these instruotions ringing in his ears the youngster started out to get a #5 bill changed forhis mother. Particularly it was impressed on him to hurry. He got the change all right and started for home. He ran down Queen Lane, where the Reading tracks cross it. It was the shortest way home, and he was told to hurry. A passenger train was approaching and the gates were down. But the ooy dodged under them. He had heen told to hurry and surely there was time for him to get across in front of that train. But the rails were smooth, and the lad had on new shoes. the soles of which were slippery. At the first rail he slipped and fell across the track, right in frontof the advanc- ing train. In a second his legs were grinding under the wheels—in two seconds, perhaps, the train was brought to a standstill. There were willing hands to help the youngster then; strong arms ready to lift him tenderiy. But be- fore any one could vet to him be had dragged himself from under the wheels. And to the first who would have helped him he held out five crumpled notes, saving °‘Tell moth- er here is her change.”’ Nor would he suffer himself to bs put on the train that he might bz taken with all possible speed to the Pennsylvania Hospital until some one had been found who would un dertake to deliver the message and the change to mother. The One Sentinel. Raleigh News and Observer. In the days of its prosperity, Jacksonville reared a lofty marble pedestal upon which it placed a bronze figure of a Confederate sol- dier. Oa the morning after .the great fire, in ascene of indescriba ble desolation, the figure of that so! dier stood high above the ashes thar represented labors of half a century. The unharmed statue pointed th. hopeless ones to the worse desolation that the Confederate soldier found upon his return home in 1865. It was an inspiration of cheer, of hope and confidence as well as a prophecy. As the Confederate sol dier rebuilt the South on a firmer basis, so the view of the statue will! Serve to stimulate the people of Jacksonville to emulate the high courage and splendid achievement of the typical Confederate Soldier. “The Doctors told me my cough was incurable.

There are few persons now living it having been most every particular. In New Eogiasd the year went by the name of eighteen-bundred- months are known in history as the “the cold summer of 1816,” so re- markable was the temperature. The sun’s rays seemed to be desti- tute of heat; and all nature was clad in a sable hue. Men and women be- came frightened, and imagined that the fire in the sun was being rapidly extinguished, and that the world would soon come toan end. Ministers took the phenomena for the text of their sermons, and pseu‘ doscientific men talked of things they knew not of, while the fanatics took advantage of the occasion to form religious organizations. The winter of 1815-16 was very cold in Europe, but comparatively mild in this country, and did nut in any way indicate the severe weather that soon prevailed. Even the almanacs were silent and although the usual indica‘ions. “about now look out for cold weath- er,’’ or “this is a good time for snow,’’ were entered in the regular portions of the books devoted to the winter predictions, those used for chronicling the pleasanter months had no such alarming waruings. January was mild, so mucbso that for days the people allowed tkeir fires to go out, as artiticial heat made the buildings uncomfortably warm. This pleasant weather was broken in Fabruary, but this low temperature passed ina few days, and a warmer condition, similar to the month previous, set in. March ‘‘came in like a lion, out went out like a lamb.’’ There was nothing unusnal in the climatic con- ditions of the month which ditfered from those generally found in this windy season. April was the advance guard of this strange freak in temperature. The early days were warm and bright, but as the month drew toa close the cold increased until it end- ed in ice and snow and a very low temperature. To those who delighted in balmy May days and loved to watch the budding flowers, the May of 1816 was a bitterdisappointment. True, birds came, but so did the frost, and in one night laid all veyetation a blackened waste. Corn was killed, and the fields had to me made ready for another plant- ing, but the peopl’s astonishment was complete when they found ice formed to the thickness of half an inch in the pools. June, ‘‘the month of roses,’ was this month a month of ice and deso- lation. ‘The oldest inhabitant”’ was surprised, for never before had the thermometer sunk so low in the tube in these latitudes in the last month of spring. Frost, ice and snow were common. Almost every green thing that had taken advantage of 2 few warm diys to develop was killed, and various kinds of fruit were nearly all des- troyed. One day the beautiful snow fell to a depth of ten inches in Vermont, seven inches in Maine and three ip- ches in Massachusetts and central New York. Matters were beginving to be in- teresting. People were undecided whether to spend the summer in tke South or at the seashore and moun tains. One day the latter resorts were desirable, and the next decide in favor of the former, but on the whole, the Southern climate was preferred. July was accompanied by frost, and ice, and those who celebrated his age—the sort they sometimes) the glorious Fourth. ‘‘not wisely but too well,’’ found an abundance of ice handy for immediate use the next morning. It was not very thick, not more than one-sixteenth of an inch, but it was ice, and it caused the good people of New England, New York and some sections of Pennsylvania to look grave. That month Indian corn was des:royed in all but the most favored !ucalities, and but a small quantity esciped. Surely August would put an end tosuch weather, but the farmers as weil as hotel proprietors were doom- ed to disappointment. The mid-sum- mer month was, if possible. more cheerless than the days already passed. Ice formed even thicker than it had done the mouth before, and Indian corn was so bad!» frozen that it was cut for fodder and a!most every green plant in this country as well as Europe was frozen. Papers received from England stated that the year 1816 wouid be remembered by the generation then living as a year ion which there was no summer. What little corn ripenei in the unexpected States was worth almost were its weight in silyer. Farmers compelled to provide themselves with corn grown in 1815 for the seed they used in the spring of 1817. This seed never cost so much, being ac to get, even at $5 per bush- el. The last month of summer was ushered in brivht and warm, and for two weeks the now almost frozen peopie began to thaw out. It was the mildest weather, but just as the inhabitants got fairly to appreciate itold Boreas and Jack Frost came along and whitened and hardened everything in their paths. On the 16th ice formed a quarter of an inch thick, and clothing, that had been laid away for a few days, was again brought forth and wrapp- ed round shiyering humanity. : By this time the people had eiven up all hopes of again seeing the flowers bloom or hearing the birds sing, and began to prepare for a hard winter. October kept up the reputation of ly a day that the thermometer reg- istered higher than 30 degrees. had changed about. | A Kansas Cooking School.-SomeGirls THE SH ExIFF REPULSES A MOE. Who Would Not Attend. him :The Year 1816 Remarkable for its }) Emporia, Kan , Gazette. Monday afternoon, while the cook- ing scbool was in session, a reporter for The Gazette found five young who recollect the year 1816, vut Eu- women of this town out gadding sheriff. whose pame is Jos. with a falling shot anda “hair trig-|ropean and American data represent |Commercial street. Their names/|to-day upheld ihe law of phenomenal in al-|are: Miss Mabel Muilington, of 701| and saved the life of a negro from a Maret; Miss Inez Post, of 1520 West; Miss Myrtle Harthington, of $20 Exchanye; Mrs. John Slowby, of 519 and starve-to-death and the summer | Exchange; Miss Earlie Rizer, of 427 |lawyers, one life was iost and two Constitution. These girls are the daughters of re- spectable parents, though none of good clothes, and the Mullington yirl, at least, though she is only seventeen years old, is so badly over- dressed that people wonder what ber mother can be thinking about. The girl boas:s among her friends that she doesn’t intecd to learn to cook, and then she'll never have to. Her father went through the bankruptcy court last year. Old settlers say the Mallington yirl’s mother used to make the same boast. One of her father’s creditors wasa baker whom Mullington owed $215 for bread, ples and cookies bouzht since 1890. The Post girl isa new-comer, but she brags that no woman ‘“‘ean jearn her to cook like her mother can.” She can make ten kinds of things with whipped cream. But she doesn’t know boiled meat from broiled mest, aud has never cooked a@ mealin her life. She doesn't even know how tv boil potatoes with their jackets on. The Harthington girl is a spappy little piece, who knows a lot of boy stories, and is al! the time making breaks and laughing at them She looks at the ground when she wa'ks, and minces along as though she was too nice for tbis world. She isal- ways vrunting on wash day, andher poor mother hasn’t had a new dress since 1888, though Myrtle is dressed to kill. John Slowby is .a railroad man. He has been married three years. He turns his money over to his wife every pay day, and she has bills for canned goods and ready-made food at six grocery stores. Their grocery billis over $30a month, and Jobnu can’t see where it goes, He should look in the slop bucket. Half the food she cooks is spoiled, aud none of it is ever made over. The girls say that there isn’t a sin- gle button on Earlie Rizer’s dress, except the forty-two buttons up the back of her shirtwaist. Zoey call her the human pin-cushion. That is the kind of girls vho avoid the cooking school. They are not home-makes, and Emporia boys who are looking for honest girls who will help to makea living should pass them up. They also flirt with trav- eling men and young fellows claim that you can love ’em all the second night you call. These are harsh words, but the cause is a great one, and The Gazette believes that the ends justify the means. If girls cant go to cooking school they can at least show respect for it by stop- ping their gadding for a few days. —— ——al> ope a——-S— — A woman visits a Monastery.-Monks Have a New Experience, Lexington, Ky., Dispatch. For the second time in the history of the Trappist Monastery of Geth- semane the rustle of a woman's skirt was heard within its walls to- day. As on the first occasion, when monastic peace was first disturbed, the invader is the wife of the Gov- ernor of Kentucky, and today Nirs. J. W. C. Beckham received a wel- come unique in its character and the best within the power of, the famous community of the silent brother- hood, Mrs. Beckham was fully alive to the novelty and importance of the occasion. Perhaps her bright girl- ish face awakened in the hearts of the silent brothers memories of days before they forsook the world, and years of acetic fife apparently bad not deadened the interest of the monks in women, for the Trappists displayed the liveliest interest in the visit. The special train beariny Goyern- or Beckham and party and other in- vited guests reached Gethsemane station shortly before 11 o/’clock. After greetings by the abbot the visitors were driven to the monaste- ry At the entrance stood father Frederick anda few of the priests, The monastery was in holiday attire and the visitors passed under large American flags and streamers of the national colors. An interesting event of the day was the presentation of the -Broth- ers of the White Cow! to the Gov- ernor. The ban of silence was hft- ed by the abbot. and the” men were permitted to express their pleasure at meeting the executive.

A large crowd of people had and when it was learned that an ap- peal had been taken te the Supreme Court, delaying execution, there was much talk, which crvstalized soon atterin the formation of a mob. Ataoon the mob made an assault on thejail. They battered down the outside doors, despite the warning of the sheriff, and entered the build- ing. They madea demand cn the sheriff forthe key to the negro’s cell. but were refused. With the refusal,they began tbeir advance up- on the sheritf and the deputies which he had been able to summon to his aid They were told to stop, or ney would be fired on, but the order was aot obeyed. As they advanced down the corvi- dor towards the sheriff, the order was given tofire. Bennett fell, dy- ing almost instantly. Thomas Smith of Carrollton, who was in the front of ihe mob, was badly shot, as was also an unknown countryman. The unexpected fight of the sheriff and his posse frightened the mob and they retreated outside the jail. Here they broke and ran and were soon divided into little groups, diseuss- ing the even. Sheriff Merrill at once consulted Judyve Hurris.of the county court, and it was decided to call upon Gov- ernor Candler for aid. The Gover- ner Was Commuricated with by tele- phone and said he would send com panies from Atlanta assoon as they could ve assembled. During the af- ternoon the mob telephoned the sit- uation to friends in adjoining towns, and made an appeal for more men to effect the capture of the negro. This was communicated also to Governor Candler and the Governor soon wir- ed a proclamation tothe people thecounty. It was read from the steps of the court house at 4 o'clock by the mayor. The Governor com- manded the people to disperse and said the entire military end civil forces of the State would be used to eaforce order if necessary. The reading of the proclamation appar- ently hada good effect, as many people were seen to mount their horses and leave the town. the night and the sheriff and city and county officials after a covsalta tion decided to take the priscner out of the county forsafe-keeping. The Atian'a militia, under command of Ma} -r Barker,arrived about 6 o'clock and one hour later escorted the ne gro and sheriff to the train whicad was soon speeding southward for Atlanta.

Slocum, of the Eighth Cavalry, who was military attache withthe British army dur ing the ear'y part of the Boer war, has made his report to the War De- partment. At the timeof the*Brit ish defeat at Colonso, December 25, 1899, Captain Slocum said he cons:d ered the situation of the Britist most critical. They had been de- feated all along the line, and had the Boers assumed offensive operations, the Britis: army with long and thinly guarded lines, wouid have been placed in great jeopardy. Cap tain Slocum also was with Lord Ro berts, and describes in detail the movement towards Kimberley. He says that fuberts was confronted with a crisis that would haye. sta; vered and been the undoing‘>f many commander:-is-zhief. His advance to Kimberley aad beyond was Suc: cessfully czrried out and the surren- der of General Cronjq@ changed the situation, and relieved the critica’ position of ihe British army. Speaking of the Boers Captain Slocum sa:s they were splendid on the defensive, but gid not consider offensivem v ments as part of their proper tactics. He speaks of the British people as exemplifying the pbrase **Brave to a fault,”’ and adds: “If they were less brave, there would have een less faults and more victories in this war.

Lord Roberts isa glaring exception tothis rule All inall, I consider Lim to b=are markable m:n and gereral.”’ He says tue English artillery had tremendous preponderance over that of th= Boers, who rarely ever used their artillery. Captain Slo- cum says smokless powder enabies an army to conceal itself, although artillery may be lozated by the flash. Balloons and powerful. telescopes must be used to locate the enemy.

A great many people have heard of the colored man with a homestead in the middle of the Biltmore estate, and who shows every inclination to let it remain there. The colored man’s name is Charles C. Collins. It has been reported recertly that Collins had changed his mind about keeping the property and that he was now willing to sell. This is a fact, but it still seems that Mr Vanderbilt will not be the purchaser. Today Collins gave the facts in the matter. He said: _ “I was born and raised right here in Buncombe county, and I’ve been living on my place there at Biltmore 56 years—that’s how old I am.”’ “Did Mr. Vandrbilt try to buy the property from you?”’ “No, he did not. But Mr. McNa- mee did. That was five or six years ago. I dida’t sell just because I wanted to keep the place. I’ve got six acres there and it.s within ten minutes walk of Biltmore house. The Biltmore estate surrounds it entirely except one little place a few rods long, where it tuuches Mr. R. P. Walker's property. “Mr. Baker down here on Patton avenue wants to buy the property and I’mthinking of making a deal with him. I’ll give Mr. Vanderbiit the first chance atit. If he don’t want it then I'll sell to Mr. Baker.”’ “Did Mr. Vanderbilt want your property badly?’’ he was asked. ‘Well, no; [don’t know that he did. I:t’sdown there in a place where it don’t interfere with him much,”’ Collins wasaslave and. says so with an evident pride. He is proud, too, of his raising, and of the posi- tion he occupies as a property own- er and a taxpayer. He is indignant at the prospect of being disfranchised. "He says he pays $30 a year taxes, and he thinks he ought to be allowed to vote, or else have those whe do vote pay his taxes. He is going away—to Phila. delphia—and giyesasa reason for his leaving what he considers the injus- tice in his being disfranchised. -_-- oe Two of the Foster Murderers Lynched.

Killed by Lightning. Tuesday afternoon about 5 o'clock Smith Reddick and his son Julius and a neighbor, John Hutchens, were standing in the yard ab Mre Reddick’s home near Verpvon church in Olin township watching the’heavy clouds that were gathering. Almost without a warning there was a daz- zling flash of lightaing and acrash- ing peal of thunder. Of the three in the yard Jule Reddick was killed instantly, his father,Smith Reddick, knocked down and so badly shocked that he did not recover until after he was carried into the house, while John Hutchens had one leg scorched by the lightning which ran down it and tearing off his shoe entered the ground. From the meager details obt&inable yesterday it does not seem that any one else in the yard, | if there were others, or any one in the house was at all injured although all were shocked. A doy which was near young Reddick was killed. Julius Reddick was about 19 years old and the only son of his parents, who were dazed by the sudden death of their son.

Za Grange, N. C., Special to Ralcigh News and Observer, 2oth. D. B. Jones, the negro preacher who attempted to rape Mrs. Noah Davis, near La Grange yesterday, was taken from the guard house at La Grange last night and lynched. Little can be learned at La Grange of the affair save that during the night time cries of distress and pis- tol shots rent the air, and some who ventured forth to ascertain the cause found the locx up had been broken intoand D. B. Jones, the negro preacher and would de raptist, had disappeared, and that it was pretty generally believed he would not again be in these diggings to fright- en and harm innocent women. In La Grange this morning all was calm and serene save that a number of citizens were gathered here and there in little groups dis- cussing the taking off oi Jones. STORY OF THE CRIME. The town was thrown into wild excitement yesterday about an hour before noon by the rumor that Mrs. Noah Waters, a young married lady of a highly respectable family had been criminaily assaulted by Dock B. Jones, a worthless negro vaga- pond. The facts as developed are about as follows: About eleven o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Waters, wholives about two miles from town was picking huckleberries near her house when she was 4p- proached by the negro who offered her a Grink froma bottle of whiskey. She refused and attempted to escape from him when he deterred her by forcible means and continued to off- er her whiskey, making at the same time criminal proposals to her. She was badly frightened and made a violent attempt to escape from the negro when fortuusately her hus- band, who had been to a neighbor’s house, approached and hearing her struggles with the brute ran to her assistance, when the negro fled. Mrs. Waters was prostrated from fright and nervousness and was ta- ken tothe house by her husband when medicalattention was summon- ed. News of the affair soon spread and search was made for the negro. Af- ter several hours search ne was found and arrested in the outskirts of the town and placed in the guard house. Last night about ten o’clock the guard house was broken open and the negro taken out by a large num ber of indignant citizens, and he has not since been seen. The tracks of the party show that they took the negro about half a mile out of town where evidence was found of violent struggling. The chief of police here has two short pieces of the handle of a stout buggy whip loaded with irou which show fresh breaks as though they were broken over the negro’s head. Noone seems to know any- thing of what was done with him, but every one will say that he will never trouble the people any more. Others confidently assert that be was killed by the mob though thisis given as opinion merely. Mr Wells, the chief of police, says that the tracks of the party show that they returned to town by the same route they went to the scene, but no evidence appears of the ne- gro having left the scene. He could easily have been traced if he had left alone. Mrs. Waters is a young woman of thirty or less, of pleasing appear- ance and has always borne a good character. Tier husband, with whom I have talked, is an intelligent young farmer anda man of good standing in the community.

Eyer since mention was made sev- eral months ago that asecret search had been made of the records of Sa- cramento -county to determine if there was a record of theadoption of Princess Hatzfeldt by the late Col- lis P. Huntington, there have been persistent rumors that the Princess has in contemplation a contest of the railroad builder’s will. These ru- mors have been revived by the ar- rival of the Prince and Princess Hatzfeldt on this coast and the tact that the Princess has gone to Sacra- mento, ostensibly to visit her moth- er. Tne Princess, however, dis- claims any intention of beginning a contest. . It is pointed out that such a con- test would present unusual difficulty for in order to have the will declared invalid it would be necessary to show that Huntington was of unsound mind at the time he made the will, or that he was under influence, or that the will was forged. The will was executed about two years before Huntington’s death. Then there is the additional fact that the Princess Hatzfeldt was mentioned in the will and was provided for by giving her the interest on $1,000,000 during her life-time, the principal to go to her issue, or failing issue, to such per- sons as she may by will direct. It is estimated that the Huntington estate has increased 40 per cent. gince his death. It is in the question of residuary legateeship that there rests a bitterness which may force the bringing ofa contest, for Henry E. Huntington is named as residuary beneficiary, and it is possible that he may receive over forty million dollars as his share. Mrs. Clara Prentice, mother of the Princess, asserts, it is said, that she signed a document relinquishing her authority over her daughter and that Huntington legally adopted the child. No record of this adoption has been found, however. ——<——>- A Florida Banker Kills Himself. Melbourne, Fla., Dispatch, 21st. t J. H. Phillips, president of the Melbourne State Bank, of this city, committed suicide late yesterday af- ternooh at the Riverside House, where he boarded with his family, by cutting his throat with a razor. He was in unusually good spirits when he retarned from the bank. His wife left him reading in his room to go toanearby store to do some shopping. When she returned he was not in his-room and after wait- ing a while the family became alarm- ed and began a search. He was found in an unoccupied room in the third floor of the hotel, lying across @ bed with the bloody razor in his hand. Mr. Phillips was one of the weal- thiest men in this section and the affairs of the bank are said to be in good and satisfactory condition. He had been suffering to some extent from melancholia recently and it is supposed tcok his life during a no-' ment of temporary insanity. > ein -Boiler for Sale ee The Louisiana Lynching Was Neces- | sary- : New Orleans Dispatch, 21st. | Quiet prevailed to-day at Shreve } port, where two negroes arrested | in connection with the murder of John Gray Foster, the planter, “Prophet” Smithand PF. D. McLand were lynched during the night. Tel egrams from Shreveport to-day state that evidence was discovered so clearly establishing the identity of Smith and. McLand as enemies of the white race and dangerous ele- ments among the negroes that their extinction came to be regarded as essential to the preservation of or- der in the parish. As it became the general belief that Prince Edwards, the negroaccused of killing Foster, will never be caught,+the mob de termined to act without further de- lay. Smith confessed just before he was lynched, that he loaded the gun with which Edwards killed Foster. Letters of incerdiary tenor were found. Indications of conspiracies ayainst Chief Lake, of the Shreve- port police, Foster and others, ran through the missives; and in connec: tion with the minutes of a meeting of the ‘“‘Chureb of the Living God,” of which Smith was the head, preci pitated the lynching. | Sheriff Thompson, of Bossier, in view of the large mob, made no attempt to in- terfere. ‘‘Prophet”’ Smith founded the or- ganization previously mentioned, at Houston. Later he went to Shreve- port and immediately set about or- sanizing there. Chief of Police Lake declared him to be a danger ous person and ordered him to leave, but be went no further than the Foster plantation. After the shoot- ing of Foster, a search of Smith’s rooms revealed a so-called ark of the covenant. It was a rudely con- structed box bearing within and without mystic symbols. When the officials laid hold of the box _the ne- wroes were panic-stricken. Further search revealed the minutes of a meeting of the society. zi ——_— > ee Oe Christians May Enter Pohtics- Denver, Colo., Dispatch, 21st. “Weare told nowadays that the devilis walking up and down the country saying a man cannot be a politician and a Christian,” said the Rev. W.F, Slocum, LL. D,, presi- dent of the Colorado College, in his address to night at the general re- ligious meeting of Yale students. It was the last religious meeting of the term. Hewas talking on ‘‘Loyal- ty.”’ He added: -There is no more abominable aad damnable lie than that a man can’t be a politician and a Christian, and it ought to be stamped out.”’ Then the preacher said that what America needs today are men who are loyal to what is true and right. Loyalty in olden times stood for ad- herence to the King whether he was good or bad. In later times loyalty stood fur what was good in law. fo-day the Christian idea combines the two. He added: ? “We should pound into men’s beads the thought that a man can be a politician and a Christian. He must have the thought of honesty foreed upon his attention. We must pound intosociety the thought of purity. Yale, I think, has done more than any otuer college to fos- ter the spirit of loyalty to principles and conception of what is right. The destiny of America, the redetap- tion of a national and religious life, is in the hands of the college men.” President Slocum said that the West wanted the college men in all professional and business life and that there was a great chanco for the college man in that part of the United States. —— ore A Cold Blooded Murder at Nantahala. Asheville Dispatch, 21st. Trainmen this afternoon brought bere the story of a murder at Nantahala, a small town on the Murpby branch of the South- ern, which for brutality and cold- bloodedness, has not hada parallel in this partofthe State for many years. Sandy Lowery, a respected citizen of Macon county, was the vic- tim and his slaver was Oscar Pierce, a laborer of bad reputation. Pierce boarded tke train several] miles this side of Nantahala and at once began to make trouble for Con- ductor George Brown, by refusing ro pay his fare to Murphy, where he declared he intended to go. He drew a large knife, but the conduc tor threatened to shoot him if he moved in his direction. At Nanta bala Lowery was standing on the rear of the car when the train stopp- ed. Pierce asked him the distance to Murphy, and on getting the re- ply that it was twenty miles, he im- mediately began cursing and plung- ed the big knifedeep into the un- suspecting man’s breast. Pierce stood over Lowery and watched him draw his last breath, while by-stand ers were too dazed to move. Pierce threatened to kiil anyone who ‘ol- lowed him and ran. He is being pursued by a large band of friends of the murdered n.an, —— or ee A Kepublican Speech. Raleigh News and Observer. Judge Emory Speers, a Republi- can Federal Judye in Georgia, made a commencement speech last week in which according to the New York Sun, ‘“‘he indorses expansion, lauds McKinley, praises Pierpont Morgan, calls for a union British-American interests, demands Isthmian canal, approves the Supreme Court’s re- cent decision and believes in rising superior to party when necessary.” That's the sort of speech that the McKinleyites, who still cali them selves Democrats, praise and com- mend, It was an eloquent Republi- can speech—that and nothing more. If Republicanism is right, then Jef- ferson, Jackson, Tilden, Cleveland, Bryan, Hill, Chief Justice Fullerand every Democratic platform from 1800 to 1900 without exception, have been wrong, Federalism was right, and there is no reason for the exist- ence of the Democratic party. A Night of Terror, “Awfulanxiety was felt for the widow of the brave General Burn- ham, of Machias, Me., when the doc- tors said she could not live till morn- ing,’ writes Mrs. S. H. Lincoln, who attended her that fearful night. ‘All thought she must soon die from pneumonia, but she begged for Dr. King’s New Discovery, saying it had more than once saved her life, and had cured her of consumption. After three small doses she slept easily all night, and its furtber use completely cured her.’’ This mar- velous medicine is guaranteed .to cure all Throat, Chest and Lung Diseases.

Barker, on trial at Jersey City,for the shooting of Rev. John Keller, may go to the jury tomerrow. The defense had practically finished when the court rose this evening. It is not thonght Prosecutor Erwin will take long in rebuttal. Barker and bis wife were upon the stand today. They -told the story, so far as the court would allow in answers to the questions of counsel for the defense, and although the record does not show it, Mr. Van Winkle got reference to the alleyed assault before the jury in one way and another, though the nature of the ‘‘assault’’? was not brought ont. The State had it stricken out each time but the im- pression went to the jury. Barker, on the stand, told bis ver- sion of the shooting. He said he met Keller and that Keller spoke to him. This was in direct contradic: tion of Keller’s testimony oa the stand, as he claimed not to have met anyone. Barker said he responded to Keller's greeting by calling Kel- ler a villian, charging him with out- raging Mrs. Barker. He then, he said, began firing. Mr. Keller, when on the stand, swore that nota word was spoken and that he saw no one. f ‘he pur pose of Barker's testimo- ny was to show that. after having brooded fora period over what his wife had told him, be was in a mor- bid state of mind and when he came face to face with the minister, he was carried away by feeling aud be- gan firing; that it was sudden, vio- lent and temporary insanity, lasting buta moment, but long enough to cover the period of the shooting. When the court rose the defense was bringing testimozy to support this idea with medical expert testimony. Barker admitted he bought the re- volver about the time he first heard the story which worried him and caused him sleepless nights and great mental stress. He denied, however, that he bought it for the purpose of shooting the cleryymau. Mrs. Barker was expected to break down and become hysterical on the stand, but a cooler woman has sel- dom occupied the chair. Mrs. Bar- ker was questioned as to her con- nection with the Trinity mission, of which Mr. Keller was rector. ‘‘Why did you sever your connec- tion with the mission?’’ she was asked. ‘“Because Mr. Keller outraged me,’ was the answer without hesitancy. Mr. Keller sat through it all with- out betraying the slightest emotion. It is doubtful if he heard much of the testimony, as mostof it was in a subduea tone and his hearing is far from good. Later—The jury found Barker guilty Saturday of au assault with intent to kill. lt isthought he will be given a Seven years sentence. —— ee Wants the “College” to Leave Town. High Point Dispatch, 21st.

' In South Carolina next- spring when delegates are chosen to the State convention the issue will be made that will make Senator Mc- Laurin recant his Republican views or be refused the right to runin a Democratic primary. Tbe plan is to so amend the party rules that the committee will “‘add to the oath to be subscribed toby the candidate a paragraph stating that the candidate recognize that the platform of the last Democratic National Convention states the principles of the party and that such principles are subserived to by the candidate.” in the course of an able and elabo- rate editorial approving the plan, the Columbia State says: “Tbe action proposed commends itself fully toour judgment. It isin harmony with views we have long held and expressed as to the proper party discipline in South Carolina. When Populism was rampant in this | State we urged the application of 2 | similar test, and atthat time many! of the meu now supporting Senator j McLaurin endorsed our position. It will doubéless make a great differ- | ence to them that a test yote is now | proposed as a defense against the : insidious encroachments of Republi- | canism; but we repel Republicasism on the one hand as eight or nine years ago we repelled Populism on the other. In our opiaion, while the Democratic party should seek at' the general election the votes of all men, it should carefully preserve to its own members the nomination of its candidates and the declaration of its principles. cr ‘Populism has passed away, but recent events have proved that there exist to day among the white people of South Carolina elemeats utterly antagonistic in their views of na tional policy. The question is: Shall we give harburage in the Democrat ic ranks to the emissaries of Repub- licarism who would use this mis- taken hospitality to debauch and pervert against their own interests the Democrats who were brought jato such intimate relations with them? For our part we are vlad to see the progress of the idea that a political party should be homogene- ous and not acongeries of warring elements; and that itis not neces- sary or expedient that all white meu in South Carolina should profess al- legiance to the Democratic party and its principles when they bear no true loyalty toward either. The time has come, so everybody is be ginning to think, when we can afford to have white parties in South Caro lina. The time has come whes Democrats are beginning generally to realize thatan enemy outside of the camp is better than one inside of it. Segregated, and constrained to operate in the open under their own proper name and flag, the whice mep in this State who hold to Republican doctrines would prove in numbers an inconsiderable minority: but re cognized as Democrats, yiven the prestive of the party name, in their work of seduction they are, as they continue to be, an element vocifer- ious beyond the strength of their ' pumbers and disturbing and demor- alizing in their influence. The quick- est and surest way to secure ameas- ure of political peace in the State is jto let them work for Republicanism ‘from without rather than from with- in the Democratic organization,” o> << _— A Sensation in Virgurtia Politics, Richmond, Va, Dispatch, 21st. The most sensational feature of this hot campaign for the Demo- cratic nomination for Governor, is the charge that Hon. Joseph Wil- Jard, of Fairfax, has practically en- tered into an arrangement to se- cure the lieutenant governorship by putting up money. These charges come from friends of Congressman Swanson and Senator Martin, who have gone down in defeat in this | memorable contest for the governor- ship. Attorney General Montague, the candidate of the element in the parvy opposed to Martin, has practically won the romination. This is con- whereas, the Secretary of State has refused to grant a charter to said “‘college’’ on the ground that same was illegal and pretentious and, ther conduct of said ‘‘college’’ here is demoralizing and tends to a breach of the peace, therefore be it “Resolved, That the said institu- tion is condemned in the strongest tinued existence in our coinmunity is Cemoralizing and harmful ”’ The meeting represented the very best interests of the community an the people are determined is the matter. ————————— Union Miners Fired On.

MONARCH SALES DEPARTMENT os ) + EDITORIAL NOLES. Ex-Senator Arthur P. Gorman is an announced candidate for the Maryland Senatorship, and we hope he will win. It is said all factions of the Maryland Democracy are united in hissupport and, if that be true, his chances are good. Senator Gorman, while differing with the platform of the. party, has given a loyal sup- port to all Democratic nominees. He $s one of the greatest politiciana of the Detheeratic party and hw re turn tothe Senate would be cause for rejoicing. en + In asigned article in a Buffalo paper Mr. Bryan says: ‘IT am not only nota candidate for any office, but Ihave no candidate in mind for any office. My interest centres in principles, and men are important oaly as they aid in car- rying out these principles. “The Democratic party stands for definite. positive principles, and un- less I mistake the sentiments of the masses the voters will insist upon adhering to these principles in spite of the threats of re-organizers. Those who argue from the stand- point of expediency will have influ- ence with the yoters, because no one can say .what is expedient. We may deserve to win and yet lose; but it still remains that to deserve to win is the surest road to success,”’ _This cught to silence the papers which are eternally iterating and reiterating that Mr. Bryan wili be 2 candidate again next year. . It’s True. Raleigh News and Observer, ‘-O, that mine enemy would write a book’? is out of date. Today if you have an enemy among public men whose political.injury you wish to secure, predict in the public prints that he is to be ‘‘the McLau- rin of North Carolina.’’ And you have done him a serious injury! ANU ‘Factions will Support Gorman. Rateigh News and Observer. All factions of the Maryland De- mocracy were present at the dinner when Mr. Gorman’s friend announc- edhis candidacy for the Senate. The returnof Mr. Gorman to the Senate will be a national blessing. He killed the Force billand is a sa- gacious party leader, fighting, alike for Cleveland, whom he had good cause to dislike, and for Bryan with wkom he was not in complete accord. ‘Mooresville ‘Machine Shops.

Moosesville Enterprise. Mayor C, V. Voils this week dis- posed of a cow that hasan interest- ing history, and had been in his pos session for a little more than eleven years. In the year 1889 he purchas- ed acow from Mr. J.C. Gray, pay- ing $25 for her, the animal being 18 months old at the time of the pur- chase. During the eleven years Mr. Voils made something like 4,000 pounds of butter—an average of one poundaday. This 4,000 pounds of butter sold at 15° cents per pound, would have brought cash returns in the neighborhood of $609. He sold the cow on Wednesday last, in goud condition and fresh, receiving for her the original price paid, $25. Besides the buttef used, Mayor Voils claims that the milk and ma- nure fully paid for the feed and keep of the animal. This is food for thought and those desiring to go into the milk and but- ter business should keep an eye on The Enterprise, for we often adver- tise cows for sale, as” we do this week. The Groom Already Had a Wife. Greensboro Dispatch, 29th. Newton Wilson, a farmer resid- ing eight or ten miles from town, was here to-day with blood in his eye for a new son-in-law. Mr. Wil- son’s daughter was married yester- day in the presence ofall the neigh- bors and many otherfrends. It was aswell country wedding and the happy bride and groom were the re- cipients of many warm congratula- tions. After they had left on a short pleasure trip, however, it came to the ears of the father of the bride that his newly-made son-in- law had a lawful wife living in a town in another part of the State. His suspicions were confirmed by hasty inyestigation, and this morn- ing Mr. Wilson came to Greensboro to try to head off the couple. He swore out a warrant against the suspected bigamist and placed it in the hands of an officer, but so far it has not been executed. No Right to Ugliness.

It was pay day in trade which always precedes the 4th of July, Elkhorn river had risen very rapid- ly, but such had often been the case before, and no one took heed of it. By 8:30 o’clock the river began to overflow the banks, and people liv- houses, came too late and they were swiftly ful death. In afew minutes the cry the mountains for your lives!"’ Not one moment too soon, for before some hac gotten out of danger houses broke loose and went down with acrash. Beautiful buildings, representing the work and savings of years, were destroyed ina mo- ment’s time, which proves to us bow fieeting are the pleasures and com- forts of this life. Words can never picture the awful scene. Mothers with their little ones in their arms and clinging to their skirts trying to climb the mountains to reach a place of safety, thiuking only of trying to save their lives and not a thought given to the terrible property losses they were tosuffer. They suddenly awoke to the fact that they were homeless and penniless. Keystone, although a typical min- ing town, was quite a pretty place, nestling in the Elkhorn valley with mountains on each side covered with beautiful trees and wild flowers. But the beauty of Keystoue isa thing of the past. Her buildings are washed away. Many ot them are destroyed by the debris drifting against them. The streets are washed out, sidewalks lying in eve ry direction, and destruction on every side vast and wide. One must be here to realize the awful loss. Business is stagnant and people are trying to help each other as best they can. Tte loyal hearted citizens at once began preparing to help their less fortunate friends and neighbors, In no town the size of Keystone in the United States do the inhabitants Respond more promptly or more liberally to any appeal for help than here. Phoenix-like Keystone wil! rise again. What the loss of life is it is im- possible to say at this time, but the supposition is that it will reach fifty or seventy-five in the valley. No ac- curate estimate can be made yet, for work progresses slowly in re- covering the bodies. A Mr. Shelley was washed olf the sidewalk in front of our place and drowned in town. I stayed in the store until the wa- ter was waist deep, then I carried women and children across the street to the mountain side. There was acalf at the rear of our place swimming in the lot. I waded out, brought it through the store, and -the fortunate thing swam out to the hillside. We will vet mail in herein a few days. I send this by hand to Blue- field. W. Henry Marsu. Keystone, W.

Duke nroved his citizenship to New York and tlre fact that he lives elsewhere is shown very plainly on thetax books of the county. Lastyear Mr. Duke gave in $914,842 for city, county and State tax. This yearhe gave in $48,700, showing adecrease of about $800,000. Most of his property is nowin New York State and thiscauses the de crease at this end of the line. But this failing off is not all. Mr. Washington Duke, father of the aboye named, gave in $748,937 last year. This yearhe gave in $237,490. showing a decrease of more than half a million dollars. This was caused by Mr. Duke having made some large gifts to relatives during the year and the further fact that he has turned most of his property over to his sons, Messrs. B. N. and J. b. Duke, both of whom live in New York. Other tax figures of interest are those given in by the American To- bacco Company and Mr. WwW. Watts. The American Tobacco Company gave in $1,138,599 last year, and the company gave in $1,- 699,020 this year, showing an in- crease of morethan a half million. Mr. Watts gave in last year $893,604 and $1,088,000 this }ear, showing an increase of about $200,000. Cadets as Weod Choppers. Rock Hill, $.C., Herald. A party of ten cadets of Clemson College started home with their tickets by way of Blacksburg. When fhey reached the city the train on the S. C. & G. road had left, so they had to spend the day iu Blacksburg. There was not a dollar in the whole party, but nothing daunted, the boys divided into squacs of four or five each, and with their coats off applied for wor« at different homes in order to pay for their dinner, so that in the city of Blacksburg there is now a fine lot of stove wood, cut after the most improved teaching of c. A.C. Finally one of the boys communicated with Gastonia and arranged the finances for the crowd. This is a good story of the manhood of the students of Clemson.

Drowned After Saving a Man's Life | Kuoxville, Tenn., Dispatch, 28th. { Samuel Logan, son of Judge Lo- gan, was drowned in the Tennesee river this evening, after rescuing | Miss Guion, of New Orleans, from the same fate. A crowd of young people had gone on the river for a boating trip In attempting to ride the waves behind a stern-wheel steam-boat the yawl dipped. Miss Guion, thinking the boat was over- turned, leaped into the river. Lo- gan followed and kept her from sinking. After a hard struggle in the turbulent waves he got Miss Guion to the bout. As she was be- ing pulled into the boat and béfore help could be extended, young Lo- gan sank from exhauston, and drowned. —_— os. Child Born With a Needle in Its Stomacb. New York Sun, 28th. A needle was found by Roentgen rays on Saturday evening in the 15 months old, who has cried almost all the time siace her birth and shown indi- cations of pain in the stomach. She was taken to St. James Hospital in Newark from her home at 123 Adams street, and the hospital physicians sent herto Dr. Frank Devlin, who has a Roentgen ray ap- paratus. He discovered adark line, and by careful munipulation of the flesh brought the needle to the sur- face and extracted it with tweezers without ma‘ing an incision. He wasecf the opinion that the needle was in the child before its birtb and cited a similar case of the Dolan baby of Plaintield, from whose stomache a needle was extracted a few days ago. The needle taken from the Long babe was blackened, but intact. en Married in the Woods. Lincoln Journal, A marriage very much out of the ordinary occurred near Lincolnton last Sunday moroing.

Carson,a wealthy farmer and were ignored, fired the Carson homestead, while Carson was en route to Oxford for his mail. 7’he house was destroyed and Mrs, Car- son was fatally burned. Carson received an anonymous letter several weeks ago demanding that he deposit $5,000 at a certain point. He ignored the wmissiye. Later another letter was received stating that should he not comply with the demand his house would be burned and his life taken. This also was ignored. While he was absent Saturday evening, flames suddenly broke out in the house. Mrs. Carson escaped but returned to the house for a high- ly prized violin. While Mrs. Carson searched for the instrument the flamés spread rapidly and when she again reached the open air she was enveloped in flames. Neighbors rushed to her assistance but she died after several hours’ suffer- ing. Noclue has been obtained to the incendiaries. pe Terrible Kain in Greensboro. Greensboro Dispatch, 27th, : Greensboro was visited by a se- vere rain-storm this afternoon, which did much damage. The rain fellin torrents and flooded many houses. The Odell Hardware Com- pany was damaged to the extent of $1,000; S. J. Kauffmann, $400. Mer- ritt, Johuson & Co.,-C. H. Dorsett !and several others suffered consider- able damage. Sidewalks were badly washed, Two Southern Railway trestles just outside the city limits were partially destroyed. Passengers on all southbound trains this evening were transferred and carried from j here on a special. The Mt. Airy train had just crossed one of the trestles when it gave way. Several bridges in the county were destroyed. It is believed that the crops have suffered untold dam- age. The rain fell in sheets and did a great deal of damaye: Water ran through stores on Soufh Elm street and for over half an hour that street presented the appearance of a rag- ing torrent. Tbe ofiive of the Pos- .tal Telegraph Company and the {sample rooms in the Hotel Guilford ‘were flooded. The campus of Greens- ‘boro Female Colleve was flooded to “a depth of 20 feet on the east side of the buildirg. The Southern Railway trestie in jured was the one across North !

It consisted of a2 combi- nation bagyage and express, combi- nation baggage and smoker, day coach, emigrant coach, three chair cars, three sleepers and the private car of General Superintendent Cot- tey. of the Iron Mountain Railway. Having left this city one hour late the tratn was speeding westward at a high rate, when, at a point nine miles west, the engine plunged through a trestle which had been un- dermined by the recent heavy rains. The embaukment on both sides of the little stream dronped at a sharp degree a distance of forty feet. Ow- ing tothe momentum of the train the engine appeared to leap across the abyss, plunged into the soft earth on the opposite side and fell back to the bottom. Enyineer: But- lerand Fireman Adams were thrown from the cab, but not seriously hurt. The express car and the first chair car were telescoped. The emigrant car followed by two chair cars went down on the left side of the track and the first sleeper pitched forward upon the massof debris. Its win- dows and trucks were broken, but none of the occupants were injured. The remaining cars also left their tracks, but were not badly damaged It was iu the emigrant and day coaches that most of the deaths and injuries occurred. There was absolutely no means by which the engine erew could see the impending danger. 1n fact the en- gine ran upon the trestle before the structure gave way. The night was intensely dark. Forafew minutes roar of crashing timbers, a death- iike stilluess prevailed which was only broken by the cries of the in- jured. Trainmen caught up their lanterns and rushei to theneighboring farm houses for assistance. The farmers, with their wives and children bear- ing torches bastened to the segne aud allefforts were bent to giving firstaid to. the injured. Telephone messages were dispatched to this city and exery physician was hur- riedly taken on a special train which carried tiemto the scene. The in- jured were »iaced aboard the cars and brought to the general hospital in this city, where everything pos sidle was done to ameliorate their condition. For a timeafter the res- cuers reached the scene of the wreck littie could be done in the way of removing the dead. . Hundreds of tons of twisted iron and broken timbers rested upon the car where the unfortunate emigrants were crushed. ut by means of wrecking derricks ihe mass was gradually opened and oy daylight nearly all the dead bad been removed to this city. pa Nees eine) A Fortune for Mrs. McKinley. Canton, O. Dispatch, 2Sth, There is wealth in sight for Mrs. McKinley and her sister, Mrs. M. G Barber of this city. Eastern eap? talists have a short-time option on mining claims held by these two la dies in Nevada. The price at which the claims will pass into the hands of the syndicate has not been defi- nitely stated for the public, but it is gleaned frcm an authoritatiye source that it is near a quarter of a million dollars. ; Some tweaty years ago there was acompany formed here known as the Canton Mining Company. This company purchased claims in Neva- da, near E.iy. The claims, seventeen in all, were finally purchased by James A. ~uxton. At his death they passed into the hands of his daugh ters, Mrs. \icKinley and Mrs. Bar- ber. Recent developments have dis closed that the claims are immense- ly valuable. Gold bas been found in great quautities. An Easterns syndicate, composed largely of New York capitalists, has for some time been negotiating for the claims. President McKinley and Mr. M. C. Barber are acting for their wives. Mr. Barber, one week ago, made a visit to Washing ton and conferred with the Presi- dent on the subject, and terms wére agreed upon which were submitted to the syndicate. Mr. Barber says of these terms: “They ure granted for a money consideration, besides stock in the mining company, to be retained by the President and inyself. Eastern capitalists, have an opinion on tke property, which wili not expire yet for several weeks. Mr. Barver has authentic infor- mation from Nevada that recent surveys have been made of the old Saxton claims, and it has been found that one shaft has been sunk on the claims by another company. It has also been as<ertained, he says, that one paying as much as $140 a ton is abundant on the Saxton claims It is the inteption of the President and Mr. Barber to push the organ- izaon of a2 company should the option now giver not be closed. It is understood that the Presi dent is greatly interested in the gold field.

High Point Special 28th, to Raleigh News and Observer. Ed. Thomas, son of mr. Ped C. Thomas, of Thomasville, was found dead this morning on the railroad track two miles south of here. Be- side him lay a gallon jug of whiskey. a pistol, an empty beer bottle and opener. In his Pocket was also an opened knife. His body was badly mangled by the train. I learn that the circumstances surrounding the affair are suspicious, and that mur- der may have cavsed his death, and the body afterwards left on the track for the train to run over so as to cover up the crime. A coroner’s in- quest had not been held at this writ- ing.

The steamer Islander, from Skag- way, today brings news of an excit- ing flag episode at Skagway. E. S. Busby, Canadian customs agent there, acting on instructions from Ottawa, hoisted the British flag on a pole above his office. Several in- céndiary remarks followed the hoist- ing of the ensign and on the follow- ing morning a tall, athletic looking man glanced up at the flag, and, stopping at the foot of the staff, took out his pocket knife and cutting the halyards pulled down the flag and ran the halyards through the block, rolled up the colors and toss- ed them intoarecess of the build- ing. The man was George Miller, a brother of Joaquin Miller, the Cali- fornia poet. The Skagway News Says: “This incident, which has caused no end of comment to-day, has been brewizg for several days. When the flag was put up on the depot building the matter was called to the attention of C. L. Andrews, United States deputy collector of customs. Mr. Andrews found noth- ing in his instructions which he thought justified the Canadian offi- cers in ratsing the British flag un- less the Stars and Stripes waved above it. He according called upon Mr. Busby and had a talk with him in regard to the proposed innoya- tion. Mr. Busby showed him a let- ter from the chief customs officer of Canada, which stated in substance that as American customs officials, operating on Canadian soil in con- ditions corresponding to his (Mr. Busby’s) office, were permitted to fly the flagof their country, he was entitled to the right and to go ahead with the flag raising. On the hypothesis that the Canadian offi- gials would not go on record with such astatement if it were not a fact, Mr. Andrews coneluded that Mr. Busby was within his rights accordingly took no action in the matter. The question, which bids fair to assume international propor- tions as soon as the news of it can reach Ottawa and Washington, is being discussed to-day with the mass of sentiment in favor of the man who hauled down the flag. On this stripof land, which the United States has occupied undisputed sinee the days of transfer in 1867, the Canadian officials have gradually en- iean government. By leaps and bounds the Canadian customs house advanced towards tide water.

It seems that Greensboro has bLe- come about the healthiest place in the country for sensations. People had not ceased to talk of the won- derful gold brick case when their time and attention were occupied for three and a half days by the prelim- inary bearing of a sensational slan- der suit from High Hoint. Now it appears that the central figure in that case, ‘“‘Prof.’’ Harry P. Mac- Knight, is about to add another chapter to the series. The sensa- tion is the suspicion, based on a let- ter and telegrams received here, that MacKnight is an ex-convict and a swindler of note. The first intimation of this came in a letter from John T. Norris, a Springfield, O., detective, who spent some time here during the spring on business in connection with the gold brick case. Mr. Norris’ attention was di- rected to the High Point slander case by uewspaper reports and he was impressed with the idea that the healer, who occupied the center of the stage during the trial, was none other than Hiram P. Mac Knight, who has served three terms in the Ohio penitentiary.He wrote Sheriff Jordan, enclosing the [follow- ing record of Hiram P. MacKnight. “Third term in Ohio penitentiary recorded as follows from Wood county, Ohio, First term, No. 20,- 093; second term, No, 22,218; third term, No 23,154. Received the last time March 18, 1892, aad discharged March 10, 1897. Age, when receiv- ed, 33; charge forgery; height, 3 feet 64 inches. While in the peni-- tentiary MacKnight was known as the convict lawyer. He pleaded his own case before the Supreme.Court and succeeded in being discharged on the ground that he was extradit- ed from New York for an offense (larceny or false pretence) and tried for forgery. His case is reported in the 48th Ohio State reports, page 588, exparte.H. P. MacNight vs. State of Ohio.. He sued out a writ of habeas corpus during his second term, but lost his case, I believe. After serving his second term he opened a law oftice in Columbus, O., married, got away with his wife’s property, deserted her, and went to Indianapolis. There he committed some devilment of some kind and went South. Whether he is wanted in Indianapolis or not Ido not know, outI am under the impression that he is wanted there for some swind- ling operation, and I am also under the impression that he is wanted in Columbus, but whethera decree was ever obtained J am unable to say at this time. The man I refer to here- in is an adventurer of the first wa- ter, and the Harry P. macKnight, of High Point fame, bears very strong- ly the earmarks of the Hiram P. MacKnight, late of the Ohio peni- tentiary.”’ mr. Norris also enclosed two pho- tographs of Hiram P. mMacKaight, presenting a side and front view of the face. Those who have seen the pictures pronounce them a splendid likeness of High Point’s erstwhile healer, though of course there is the possibility of mistaken identity. Sheriff Jordan is alsoin receipt of the following message from the su- perintendent of police of Columbus, O., “Indictment here for macKnight obtaining money under false pre- tenses. Have been unable to find prosecutor to knowif he is wanted.”’ macKnight and his wife have been in Greensboro since the beginning of the High Point slander case, but he could not be found today. The pro- prietor of the hotel where he is stop- ping stated that macKnight ordered alivery team a few hours after the burial of his baby yesterday, stat- ing that he was going to take a drive. He did not state where he was go- isg, the proprietor said, and no one about the hotel knew his whetea- bouts. His wife and baggage are stillthere. It is believed that mac- Knight wentto the home of one of two patients, both of whom reside near High Point. A gentleman told the Observer correspondent this af ternoon that one of these pa- tients, the father of the prosecutiag witness in the slander case, paid mMacKnight $300 yesterday. Of this amount $100 was tor treatment and $200 was for instruction given his daughter, EP (-e-———- Suicide of a Horse-Whipped Man. Omaha, Neb., Dispatch, rst.

The circumstances of the shooting are about as follows: The negro was discovered in the back yard, near a bed-room window of Mr. West, about 10:30 o’clock. The discovery was jmade by Miss Bertha West, occu- pants of the room. Ske gave the a- larm and her father and. brother Ralph went out where the negro was. The negro shouted: ‘Don’t shoot me,”’ taking to his heels, pur- sued by flying bullets when he had been requested to halt. Mr. West was given a hearing before Mayor Tyndall, who placed him under a $500 bond. The negro was given medical attention by Dr. Pollock, who probed for the ball, not finding it. Itis thought the wound will prove fatal. Iu explanation of his presence in the yard, the negro has made conflicting statements. _He was hailed repeatedly before being fired on. —— a - Tne Best Remedy for Stomach and Bowal Troubles. © “J have been in the drug business for twenty years and have sold most all of the proprietary medicines of any note.

The Democratic party cannot be the party of any class. Its creation forbids that it should stand for “special privilege’? and all parties appealing toa particular class must promise a special class benefit. It is a party that teaches men to beware of too much government. If iterrs, it prefers to err on the side of leav- ing men free rather than becoming fraternal. Paternalism, socialism, protection, the three kin ired influ- ences e parties can have no placein the Democratic party. In 1892 there wasan attempt made to organize the farmers into a solid mass to control politics for a special privilege to tke farmers. That spe- cial privilege then took the shape of the sub-treasury. Though then the farming population then embraced 85 per cent of the State’s popula- tion, so true to the doctrine ‘‘equal rights to all and speeial privileges to nove” were the farmers of the State that less than half of them would be led into a contest for spe- cial privileges for themselves. And, though the men engineering this class spirit, succeeded in vetting the offices they wanted, it was main- ly through the negro vote plus a majority of farmers who were mis- lead. The leaders began by declar- ing that “liberty of speech and ac- tion’’ were denied in North Carolina and by shoufing, even as_ they leap- ed into the bosom of Cuffee, that they were better Democrats than Vance, Ransom and Jarvis. For months now we have seen a second attempt made to arouse the class spirit in North Carolina by a set of politicians who have been re- pudiated by the Democratic party peeause they refused to ‘‘abide in the ship.’’ These latter day politicians have been trying to stir up the man- ufacturers, the bankers and the richer men of the State to a feeling that they have been discriminated against by the Democratic party, that freedom of speech and action is denied them, and a systematic, concerted effort has been made to weld them into a compact mass hostile to the Democracy by a con- tinual iteration and reiteration of false charges. They have held up McLaurin as the true leader to this influential class of citizens and sought toenlist them by showing how special privileges in the shape of subsidies (the sub-treasury was the bate fov the farmers; the subsi- dy is the bate for the n.anufacturers) and protection would make the Southern manufacturers as rich as Croesus. Some manufacturers and others bit at the subsidy and protec- tien hook, but the bulk of the suc- cessful men at the head of large en- terprises declined to be herded in any party through appeals to class or gain. They said by their acts; “Weare North Carolinians before we are manufacturers. We can live under just laws made to bear eqally upon all. We demand no special privileges. We demand only jus- tice and equality, and we deprecate the spirit that would put politics altogether on the low basis of how- much-can-I-get-out-of-it. We are in harmony with merchants, farm- ers, professional men, and ali our fellow citizens, and decline to puta desire for bounty or subsidy above our political principals. ”’ The interests of all North Caro- ‘inians are alike. There is vo room for herding the manufacturers in this party and the farmers in that party. he place for both is in the Democratic party if they want good government and equality, for those who want subsidies and protection is in the Republican party. The at- tempt to make a farmer’s party on the sub-treasury failed in North Carolina, though the farmers had 35 per cent of the votes. Why? Be- eause the farmers were too patriotic to becomes class party. The at- tempt to herd the manufacturers and rich men in the McLaurin-Mc Kinley pasture will also fail because these men are too patriotic and sen- sible to seek to base political action upon class feeling and special privi- lege. a _ fhe Bull's Eye This Time. Augusta, Ga,, Chronicle. Gen. Julian S. Carr, a North Caro- lina millionaire, was interviewed in New York and says he is “sick and tired seeing small politicians run his own and other Southern States’”’ and that he and others are middling tired of Bryan and Bryanism. General Carr tnakes a very sweep- ing charge. We have been under the impression that the Southern States had some leading men who matched the leading politicians and statesmen of the better class else- wherein the uniov. The trouble with General Carr is that he has be- come tainted with McLaurinism, and lays too much_ stress upon material progress, and possibly too little on political principles and even sentiment: for even the Earl of Bea- cousfield declared that ‘‘sentiment rules the world,’’ at last. Our re- collection is that General Carr was a candidate for the United States Senate in North Carolina ard did not win the prize. Had he been elected his liver might have been in Setter working order and he might not rezard this the day of small. men. Gen, Carris a rich man, a generous man and a philanthropist. He isa very prominent citizen of North Carolina; but he is not the biggest and brainiest manin the State, and had he been elected to the Senate, he might like McLaurin, have become an assistant Republi can, When Bill Travers asked a fat friend to drive with him, the friend declined because he said the vehicle was too small for two big men. “‘Oh, get in, John, get in,”’ said Travers, “you are not as big aman as you think you are.”’ >< ~<a Dowie Has Raked 81,000,000 To- gether.

The storm leveled part of the canyas en- closure of the Pawnee Bill Wild West show and several people were injured; none seriously. One of the grain tanks being built by the Pio never Steele Elevator Company in Southeast Minneapolis was titled from its foundation and collapsed. i fhe workmen escaped. ‘ Aspecial from West Superior, ' Wis., says there was almost acloud- } burst there and that great damage | was done. | Heavy storms with more or less damage are reported all over this section this afternoon and loss will rao well up into the thousands, while a number of people have been injured and many live stock killed. The worst storm was that which passed through a large distriet south of New Richmond, Wisconsin. It was a genuine tornado and did mueh damage to farm property but no lives were lost. On a@ smaller scale it resembled tke tornado which swept over and destroyed the great- er portion of New Richmond two years ago. Overa dozen farmers have already reported the loss of a part or all their buildings, wiud mills, live stock, machinery, etc., and the loss there will be heavy. In some cases the buildings were crush- ed down and in others swept away by the wind, while tlood damage was reported elsewhere. Rainfall of nearly 4+ inches is reported there A tornado is also reported to have caused muck loss about Star Prairie, the same distance to the north of : New Richmond.

In these two cities the storm was very threatening but only minor damage was done. rr + oe Senator Butlerin a Big Mining Com. pany. Raleigh Post, 28th. Senator Marion Butler left Wed nesday morning for New York, where he will join U.S. Senator John P. Jones of Nevada, in a trip to Alaska, San Francisco and points in the West. He will be absent seve- ral weeks. Senator Butler is attorney for the Alaska Development Company, of New York city, of which Senator Jones anda number of well known capitalists are stockholders. Senator Jones is president of the companys, and he will make the trip out west with Senator Butler who is the at torney, for the purpose of inspect- ing thecompany’s property and se- curing options on a number of mines, which it is their intention to purchase. The company has valuable mines in Alaska, adjacent to Prince Ed ward’s Island. Other mines in Cali- foruia it is the intention of the com- pany to purchase. Senator Jones who is the head of the concern : has been in New York for some months directing the work. The mines own- ed bythe company are gold, silver and copper. ; The new cyanide process of sepa- rating the pure metal from the ore, which has recently been put in prac- tical and successful operation, makes the working of low grade mines profitable. Mines that have been kaown for a quarter of a century, which bad been rated as low grade mines, are just now beiag worked wita profit. Senator Butler’s com- pany are operating a number of these mines where the quantity of the oreis greater than the quality. Senator Butler remarked: ‘‘The outptiot vold is greater than ever before. The new process of separa ting ore is responsible for this con- dition. As long as the quantity of the present output of gold eoatin- ues the monetary question will re- main settled.” -———andi> 0 > ae A Steamer Wrecked at Sea. St. Johns, N. B., Dispatch 28th. The Orient Steam Navigation Company’s steamer, Lusitania, Capt. McNay, from Liverpool, June 18th, for Moatreal, having on board 300 passengers, was wrecked last night off Cape Bollard. No loss of life occurred. All the passengers were rescued. The Lusitania was bound round Cape Race for Mon treal, with a large cargo and a shipload of passengers. She mis took her course inadense fog and went ashore near Renews, 20 miles north of Cape Race, before day- break The ship ran over areef and hangs against acliff. The passengers who are mostly emigrants, were panic-stricken. They stampeded and fought for the boats, but were overcome by the officers and crew, who secured control after great trouble and a prolonged struggie with the rougher element of the passengers, who used knives. Th> women and children were first land ed and the men fotlowed. The crew stood by the ship. The passengers of the Lusitania had a terrible experience. The firs knowledge they had of the disaster was when, owing to the ship rasp ing over the rocks, they were hurled from their vertks by the shock Many of them were bruised and they all hurried on deck in their. night clothes. A scene of great excite ment ensued. Three hundred per sons were clamoring to escape while the crew tried to pacify them and launch the boats. The male pas sengers, in their attempts to seiz: the boats, trampled the women un- der foot and fought the crew with knives. Some of the more cool headed assisted the crew in the ef- forts to get out the boats. The wo men and children rescued were a!- most naked. Drenched with spray they were pulled up the cliffs by the coast people. Some of the boats were demolished in the surf while attempting to land and their half drowned occupants held on to rocks shivering with cold until rescued. This morning the unhappy passen- gers, after shivering for hours on the hilltop, tramped over wearr miles in their endeavor to reach the houses of fishermen, where they are now sheltered. Previous to reach- ing the cliffs they passed two hours of terrible anxiety on the wreck. “Tam indebted to One Minute Cough Cure for my present good health and my life.

Feasley, who lives on.) 'the Norfolk and Western road, be- tween here and Roxborv, was brought before Squire J. E. Owens this morning on the charge of flag- ging trains on that road without cause. Before the trial was ealled it was decided that the woman was insane and a commission of lunacy was asked for. Tbe commission ce- cided she was not of sound mindazd it was ordered thatshe be sent to the insane hospital or kept in con- finement until such time as she can obtain admission to the asylum. The fight Miss Teasley has made on the Norfolk and Western bas been long and bitter. It started back in the days when the surveyors first began to locate the road. After a long fight peace was declared be- tween the road and Miss Teasley. Last fall, one year ago, however, the home of Miss Teasley was burn- ed to the ground and this was a siy pal for renewed hostilities. She claimed that the road set the old field on tire and that burned her home. Since then there was consid- erabié trouble. ‘ The road was willing to right any wrong that might have been com- mitted, and it is said that Miss Teasley has been offered $750 for her home, which was a three room house. She refused all offers and finally the warrant for her arrest was sworn outas a last resort. The defeudant in this section had veen flagging trains until the super- intendent of the division issued or- ders that all trains pass through her plantation at no greater rate of speed than four miles an hour. This was done in order to prevent acci- dent of any kind. The envineers did not dare run by a red flag for ‘fear there was danger ahead and they ha@ to get along as best they could until out of that neighborhood. Sometimes she would wrap a United States flag about her and get on the track. The engineer would have to stop in order to save the life of the woman. In refusing the offer of $750 for her home, which was burned, Migs Teasley was only followirg her for- mheraction in not accepting money from the road. When the right of way was first condemned there wasa suit about the matter and Miss Teasley secured judgmeni for $500. There was no further contest and the money was paid over to the clerk of the court. The woman refused to have the mon- ey and it remained in the clerk’s ottice for five years and then went to the State University under the law yoverring such matters. After that she advertised the road for sale, but recently waikedinto the office of Guthrie & Guthrie, attor- neys for the road in this city, and told. them to notify the officers of the road that the road had to come off her plantation. When arrested yesterday Mrs. Teasley said that she would have re- sisted arrest if the officers had not found her when she did not have a flag of the United States When asked why she persisted in flagging trains on the road she said that she wanted one of the cars to live in. The road, she said, was responsible for her home being burned to the ground and she was going to have a car. She then told of the road offer- ing her $750 and said that she would never have accepted it. — ae i The Atlanta Constitutlon Shows Up The Charlotte Observer, Atlanta Constitution, For some reason or other The Charlotte Observer feels called upon to pay a great dealof attention to Mr. Bryan, and to be more in fear of hitn than it is of any of the leaders of the other party. In referring to Senator Jones, chairman of the national demncratic committee, he is quoted as sayiny that he believes “Mr. Bryan will for the good of his party, step aside and allow someone else to be nomi- nated for president by the demo- crats in 1904.’’ The Observer sees a great deal in this word allow, and criticises it in the sense which it probably bears in the dictionary, but certainly not in the s*nse in which it iscolloquially uscd in the south. The criticism bui stows up- on how slight a thread The Ovserv- er would attack democrats when there are republicans enougi: in the field to engage all of its fire. Senator Joaes is an honored son of Arkansas, Whether his views arealways correct or not matters little, but he represents his people, and he is atall times a democrat. Mr. Bryan has been nominated twice by the democrats of the univn for the highest office in the land and as such stands in an honored place, and will so stand as long as bh: main- tains allegiance to the people by whom he was trusted Whether he will play any part in the future is likewise not at issue. What we are concerned about is that he is a dem- ocrat ready todo his duty vy his party. Such being the case, why should ademocratic newspaper be engaged in mudslinging at either of these gentlemen? There wil! be aconvention in 1904 It will be dictated to by the people who elect the delegates. I: is to be presumed that those who are jater- ested in democratic suecess will take part in this work, and thit those who prefer republican polic: will be frank enough tosail under their own colors. Thisisa ccuntry of free speech, and no mad who waits to be a republican is under compu!sion to label himself as ademocrat, nor need republican honestly believingin dem- ocratic principles hesitate to place himself openly where he belongs. There is entirely too much bush- whacking, and bushwhacking does not commend itself to straizhtfor ward men. There are some policies which will not be indorsed by the democratic convention of 1904. and The Observ- er can rest, satisfied that one of the policies which will be condemned in no uncertain tones will be the pres- ent tariff law, under which Ameri- can trade is being contracted, and through which indiyiduals grow rich by filching the poekets of the people at large. Whatever align- ments of party may have to be made as a Consequence of this statement might just’as well be made today, for to that issue will it come.

Having acded to his capital while in the coal business, he went to Chica- go and opened a drugstore.

Washington Dispatch, 25th. The attention of the Navy Depart- ment has been formally called to what appears-to be an unsatisfacto- ry condition of atfairs in Guam. The incoming mai! has broughta copy of an order issued by the naval com mandant of the island, Commander Schroeder, denouncing the ‘‘hood- lumism and lawlessness”’ which, ke states, are rampant at the station. The order refers to ‘‘terrorisn, thefts, drunkenness and gambling, which have brought the United State force into disrepute.”’ Refer- ence also is made to the theft of a barrel of whiskey from the medical store, the only spirits on the island, as well as asum of money. amount- ing to about $600 from oné of the marines, and the order closes with the imposition of restrictions on the liberty of the marines. So wholesale is the denunciation of the marines thatit is believed the Navy Department will be obliged to look into the matter. General Hey- wood, the commandant of the ma- rines, who has received reports in that capacity of the happenings in Guam, has been called upon to fur- nish such information as he has and it may be that a court of inquiry will be appointed. General Heywood was at the Na- vy Department today and had acon- ference with acting Secretary Hack- ett. He stated after the interview that the mail from Guam _ had brought him no report from Major White, the ranking marine ofticer on the island, or from any other source, concerning the reported troubles. The veneral is naturally very much surprised, to say the least, reflecting as it does updn the integrity of every officer and man of the marine corps on duty in the island. => <> > A Hunted Man Kills Two.

Y. meniion this paper, a pe eee Co!” Clarke, His two Little Daughters . | oy named Bryan Drowned, pas Sia to the Raleigh News and Ov- server, 29th, s babs A drowning in which four lives were lost occurred in Neuse river at this place this afternoon. The acci- dent has cast a gloom over our city. and in many homes there is weeping and lamentation. . : The names of the dead are: Wil- liam E. Clarke, Mary Clarke, Fran- cis Clarke and George Bryan. The latter was about fifteen years old and was the son of mr. and Mrs. Green Bryan of this city. The facts of the accident as near as can be gathered in a time of so much distress and excitement areas follows: o Late this afternoon, Mc. Ciarke, in company with the drowned child ren and his young son George, went out on the river for a row. The boat upset was the property of Mr Clarke and had been used for similar excursions quite frequently in the past, no danger therefore was ap- prebended. When within about one hundred yards of the shore opposite the city. in’some manner the boat capsized and the occupants were all thrown into the water. All were drowned with the exception of Master George Clarke, who saved himself by hold- iug to the upturned boat until help arrived, ben the sad news became known throughout the city, business was practically suspended and thousands of people have been to the bridge, rendering such assistance as was possible. , Up to this hour only the bodies of the two little girls and Mr. Clarke have been recovered. Mr. Clarke was a prominent citizen of Newbern and was a son of the late Judge W. W. Clarke. He was a zealous Repub- lican and was postmaster at this place under the Harrison Adminis- tration. At the time of his death mr. Clarke neld the position of deputy collector of eustoms for this port.

W. Strickland, who lives about seven miles south of Smithtie!d. Maude, accompanied by a little 10-year-old girl living with Mr Griffin Brown, had been to the field where Mr. Strickland was at work to earrry his dinner. They passed the negro boy, who caught the older girl, tied her tos tree with his plow lines and accomplished his purpose after drawing his kuife and threat- enivg to kill the younger girl if she Gid not retreat. The little girl ran a short distance and waited for her companion. After the negro had untied his victim, she and the otber little girl went back and told Mr. Strickland, who was only about a half mile away, what had happened. He left his work immediately, and witb several other men went to the field where the negro was, and after some re- sistance captured him. He was taken to the residence of Mr. Whitley, where he was identified by the out- raved girl and her companion. Then Mr, Strickland, his son and ex sheriff C. S. Powell started to Smithfield with the prisoner, but had not gone very far when they were oyertaken by about a dozen well armed men, who surrounded the buggy, threw a noose over the ne- groe’s head and dragged him from tHe buggy. The mob then command ed the party to ‘‘go on and attend to their business.’ They drove on to Smithfield and informed the Sheriff what had oc- curred. The sheriff got the coroner and went to the place designated, but found the negro swinging to a tree lifeless. The coroner held an inquest over the body, and the jury found that the deceased came to his death by hanging by parties un- known. This is the first lynching that has oceurred in our-county since 1889, when one Starling was lynched. Congressman E. W. Pou, who ar- rived in this city yesterday from his home in Smithfield, says the lynch- ing of Bailey is generally endorsed oy the people of Johnston county, both white and black. “The best element of negroes are 2s anxious forsuch fiends to be pun- ished as are the white people,’ con- tinued Mr. Pou, ‘‘and in this in- stance they have acted with com- mendable conservatism.

It was near midnight before Sheriff Ellingtoa, who, by the way, is the best sheriff inthe State, heard of the lynching. He at once went to thescene, only to find the negro swinging dead tothe end of a rope. He next summoned the coroner who came forthe purpose of holding an inquest. After the inquest had been beld, the sheriff decided that the thing todo would be to take the vody to Smithfield, but nobody pres- ent was willing #0 cut the negro down or touch him. Finally, the eheriff declared that he wanted no- pody’s help; that he could do the whole thing himself, and with that he cut thenegro down, placed the corpse in his buggy in asitting pos- ture and then, taking a seat beside it, the sheriff drove four miles to Smithfield with it. “When he reached Smithfield it wag about day and the buggy was driven into a livery stable and the negro left sitting in it while the sheriff went nome to get an hour or two of much needed rest. When I left for Raleigh the corpse was still sitting in the buggy and great crowds of people were visiting the stable to see it. “I understood as I left that Bail- ey’s people had come and asked the privilege of taking the body away and that they would be allowed to do so.” ake Negroes Moba Conductor. Winston Special to Raleigh News and Observer, 6th. Street Car Conductor Thos. Moser was handled pretty roughly this af- ternoon by a mob of negroes return- ing from the ball gameat Southside between the Winston and. Greens- boro teams. The conductor put one bad conduct. The negro and some of his friends watched for the car returning from the park whenarock wasthrown, striking the conductor a severe blow in the mouth. Con- ductor Moser drew his pistol and went after the negro, shooting every ball out of his pistol. The friends of the negro followed the conductor, overpowered him and beat him unmercifully. He was ‘stabbed in the muscle of one arm, stamped inthe face and otherwise roughly handled. The motorman stopped his caras soon as possible and succeeded in running the negro- es away from the conductor. The negro who threw the first rock was arrested to-night. Officers are still looking for the other members ofthe gang. Officers and citizens are rought up over the brutal punish- ment inflicted upon Conductor Moser. Millions Given Away, It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the fand who are not afraid to be gener- ous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King’s New Dis- covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great medicine; and have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asth- ma, bronchitis, hoarseness and all diseases of the throat, chest and lungs are surely cured by it. Call on W. F. Hall, Druggist, and geta free trial bottle. Regular size 50c. a ———— LT ae —_—- A Former Charlotte Man Shot at) Sp artanburg. Spartanburg. S.C., Dispatch, sth. John D. Collins, formerly of Char- lotte and proprietor of ‘‘The Bee Hive,’’ a dry goods store here, was Gholston, as a result of a business dispute. Mr. Collins’ physicians hold out but little hope of his recov- ! erv. Young Gholston, it appears, went to Collins’ store, and the two men had some words in front of the Bee Hive, and each seiz2d the other by the shoulders. Gholston then wrenched’ himself from Collins’ grasp and as he reeled away from his antagonist drew a 32-calibre Smith & Wesson and fired once, the ball striking Collins just below the breast in the center of the body, Gholston then fell and Collins grap pled with him. The men were sepa- shot at 1:40 o'clock this afternoon | rated and Co!lins was taken home. tion with his business, but made no! statement regarding the shooting. Gholston was arrested and placed in tbe county jail. The result of Collins’ injuries de- pend on the ball’s direction. Drs. Nott and Blake who are constantly with him, are of the opinion thata change may take place some time to- night. They say he is at present too weak to stand an operation. The physicians said at 9 o’clock tonight the symptoms were unfavorable, but that as soon as it appeared tkat the patient could bear it they would probe for the ball. Gbholston was bruised and scratch- ed to some extent about the neck in the scuffle and was very nervous and excited when arrested. He refused to make any statement about the shooting. His father has retained Duncan & Sanders to defend him. Gholston is asmall fellow. He and his father hada former dispute with Collins yesterday. The shooting to- day was witnessed by several of the clerks in the Bee Hive. There is deep regret hereover the affair, as Mr. Collins is one of Spartanburg’s most enterprising business men, while young Gholson is a bright! boy and has always observed gocd habits. A telephone message from Spar- tanburg, 8S. C., at 3.30 this morning, states that the condition of Mr. Collins does not improve ard that thereis no hope for his recovery. During the night he recovered cou sciousness and recognized his wife. but was too weak to speak. _—_—_ oe Four Negroes Hanged. Chipley, Fla., Dispatch, sth. At Vernon, sixteen wiles from here, four negroes were hanged this morning for murder. The names of the negroes were Belton Hamilton, John Simmons, Jim Harrison and Will Williams. Williams, Harrison and Hamilton kad been convicted of killing a help- less negro and almost killing bis wife. It was adduced in the evidence that the three had warned their victim, Jeff Davis, to leave a certain turpen- tine camp. Davis obeyed instruc- tions at once but was forced to re- turn on account of lack of transpor- tation of his household goods. He came back on October 2nd last and was at once spotted by his enemies, who surrounded him in his home, and stationing themselves behind convenient trees proceeded to riddle the cabin with rifle balls. Davis was told to put his gun outside, which he did, and was soon afterwards dragged from his house and shot to death while in his wife’s arms, Dur- ing the trial, Hamilton, on cross-ex- amination confessed, saying, “I’m guilty, before God, lam guilty and I ought to be hung until dead.”’ By his own confession also the others were convicted. John Sim- mons had killed another negro. The town is without railroad connection and long rides of sixteen miles were made by all classes of people. At least 2,500 persons were present. The four negroes were made to as- cend the gallows together at 10:55 a.m., and after short statements in which all claimed to be on the road to Heaven, the trap was sprung and the four were plunged iuto space, remaining suspended for fifty mia- utes. Only one neck was broken, the others having died from stran- gulation. ——— New Men Abducted by Strikers. Charleston, S. C., Dispatch, sth. A special train bearing 12 non- union men hired by the Southern Railway, to take the places of strik- ing machinists at the Southern shops, was held up by friends of the strikers 1t the Unston Home switch this morning, and a moment later the frightened passengers were hurled tothe ground. The switch was turnedthree minutes after it had been set for the special. The object in this, the railway officials say, was to cause a stop, and while the switch was being set right the crowd rushed on the platform of the @oaches, forced open the door and took the non-union men out. While the demonstration was ex- citing, no actual clash of arms arose, as the men on the special seemed frightened, and they got off without aserious protest. After this the new men got scattered and no effort was made by the railroad to get them together for work inthe shops. Seater Laber Agitator Jailed on the Charge ; of Theft, Salisbury Special, 4th. Rev. J. F.

The robbery, in daylight, was one of the boldest that haseyer occurred in the West. One of the robbers boarded the “‘blind baggage car’’ at Hins- dale, a station about 20 miles east of Wagner.

Passen- gers on the train began to look out of the windows and a brakemar alighted on the opposite side. Both instantly became the target of Win- chesters in the hands of the robbers and were wounded. A passenger on the tourist coach, who was looking out of the window, was struck by a stray bullet aud seriously injured. To wreck the door of the express car withdynamite, with which both the confederates that appeared in the ravine were liberally supplied. was the work of an instant. The express man wascompelled to leave the car at the point of a-rifleand the through safe was immediately dyxra- mited. The first charge did not break it open and four others in quick succession were necessary be fore it was forced. The robbers hurriedly gathered in its contents, consisting of specie shipments, s. coin and valuable negatiable paper, and retreated, keeping the train crew and passengers olf at the point of their rifles. ‘All three disappeared in the ra- vine and were seen later,one mount ed ona bay horse, one upon a white horse, one upon a buckskin, heading southward at a furious gait, the booty being plainly visible in asack thrown across the saddle bows of the rider upon the buckskin horse. As the hobo climbed over the tender to the locomotive cab, he drew on a mask rendering it almost impossible to secure a yood description of him. Tre confederates were masked and the euly information obtainabie re- garding them is that one was evi- dently a half-breed. This was the robber upon the buckskin horse.

Sheriff Griffith with a posse of 20 men has surrounded them at “Suck’’ Allen’s ranch, about 40 miles south of Way- ner, near the edge of the old Fort Belknap reservation on the west fork of the Puchette river. The sheritl’s posse has not yet ob- tained descriptions of the men, al- though Sheriff Griffith wasa passen ger upon the traia that was robbed and saw the men escape across the plains on their: horses The gang was identified today by their horses and when observed through field ylasses,the white, bay and buckskin, on which they were mounted after the robbery, were plainly seen. Contrary to first reports the men are notexperienced train robbers. Information from Wagner and near- by points is that they have been identified us cow punchers, employ- ed by aranch south of the Milk riv- er. One is a half-breed, as was thought at the time of the robbery. He is now known to be theman who boarded the express pear Waguer avd foreed the engineer and fireman to bring it toastop atthe head of the ravine in which his confederates were hiding. 5 It is probable that the first esti- mate of the loss—$83,000—is some- what excessive. Reliable informa- tion received here today is that $70,000 was secured and that this with the damage to through express shipments resulting from the ex- plosions in the car will represent the entire loss of the company. No information concerning the con- signees of the money in the through safe is obtainable. It is understocd that a considerable part was in the shane of shipments west from Chi- cago banks and other financial insti- tutions. THE CURRY OUTLAWS.

Minneapolis Tribune. Years ago when Montana was a wild and woolly territory in the great wiid and woolly West, a young man entered the confines of the pres- ent State driving an ox team and with about enough money to buy an up-to-datestailor-made suit. Today the same man, slightly be- yond the 60-year mark, but still with the unlimited energy of youth, is master of more wealth than halfa dozen well-known millionaires; is master of the destinies of nearly half the population of the Western State which gave him his fortune, and has at least reached the apparent goal ofhis ambitions, the United States Senate. William A. Clark, the modero Croesus who has stirred the nation to its very depths in his strife for political attainment, isa product of the “‘strenuous life’ of the West, which builds along itsown uliar lines. With an equipment sist- ing of a course in assaying and anal- ysis at Columbia, and theafore-men- tioned ox team, Clark struck out for the rich Montana foot-hills. He labored underground with the dirti- est of miners, and no work was too hardfor him. But when fortune came his way he proved the shrewd- ness and capacity of his make-up. The life of the new six year Senza. tor from Montana cannot be gauged or understood without bringiag into his every action the influence of his one-time partner, and later the one obstacle in his path to political pre- ferment— Marcus Daly. The two mentwenty years ago prospected and mined together. The early his- tory of their immense fortunes isthe one story of mining “‘luck,”’ shrewd investment and capacity for work. But the difference in the men in their natures, in their ambitions and in their methods was such that they could not remain business friends and associates;and the feud which started—well, no one knows exactly how or when it did start—this feud, begun in a small way, developed in- to the greatest contest between mil- lionaires that the world has ever seen. Daly’s death allowed Clark to reach the prize for which he has spent hundreds of thousands of dol- lars—-a seat in the national Senate, with the princely (2) salary of $5,000, although he would undoubtedly have won out under any circumstances. Senator Clark is an American, the product of the hard hfe of the moun- tains, and yet with the polish of the East. In New York heis the con- ventional cluy man, slender, well groomed, with the marks of wealth and refinement about him. But in Montana, the hon.e of his energies, the birthplace of his fortune, he casts aside these conventionalities, dons his oilskins and cap, and goes throuh his mines as if they were his only thought. He knows them from one end to the other. He is as thor- ough a miner as any of bis foremen or superintendents. The secret of Clark’s financial suc- cess undoubtedly lies in his great ousiness acumen, his ability to grasp an opportunity which will bring great returns. Daly, the uncouth Trishman, was undoubtedly the_bet- fer judge of men, for never did a man whom he had trusted play him false, But Daly lacked the courage to mould the circumstances for bim- self. He wasalways connected with a syndicate, and. his moves were always for the welfare of those whom he represented. One of the first moves on the part of Clark toward the estrangement which lasted until the death of Daly was in the matter of the water rights at Anaconda, the pet town of Daly and his syndicate. The latter had procured seven-eights of the necessary rights for the nominal sum of $15,000, when the matter came to the attention of Clark. He immediately secured the ~ other eighth, and before Daly could get hold of thecomplete rights he was compelled to pay Clark $125,000 for the insignificant eighth which the latterheld. Such things were never forgotten by the vindictive Daly, and the political moves of Clark in after years were always countered, often openly. tion on the Democratic ticket as Territorial Delegate to Congress. Daly then assured him of his sup- port, and promised to use all his in- fluence for the nominee of the Demo crats. But when the election was over it was found that Thomas H. Carter, the Republican nominee, had secured the place, and the Ana- conda vote, which rested in the hands of Daly, had turned the tide against Clark. Never admitting it openly, Daly, although a Democrat, continued to support the Republi- cans, and there make. é In the great Montana capital fight in "94, which is vividly remembered by all was always that powerful in- fluence againstany move which Clark might maketo the people, Clark and The Charleston News and Courier’s | dissection of McLaurin’s Fourth of : July harangue is tc-the point and ad-' mirally Gone.

He was going along the railrozd to Lewis’ Lumber Yard to see about 2 bill of lumber. He met the men on the track. They accostod him, asking him for 50 cents to get disner. Mr. Overcash replied that he did not have the money. “Well we'll beat your head off,” He proceeded to take off one of the wooden stubs on which he walked and struck Mr. Overgash on the head. Theother three men then jumped on him. One bit his ear nearly off; the others beat him.

A Committee appointed by mem bers of the Oak City Council of the Knights of Honor yesterday morn- ing examined the books of C. C. Me- Donald and found that $1,268.25 had been paidin to him by members since the suspension of the lodge last June. As soon as the amount was ascer tained, Mr. McDonald stated that he was ready to pay over the money when it suited the members of the lodge to receive it. Also he stated to the heirs of Mr. Lambeth that he would make good the $2,000 insur- ance due them. The committee is now making ef- forts to have thelodge reinstated avd the McDonald settlement will be postponed untilthe question isjdeter- mined. If the lodge is reinsisted the $1.268.25 received by McDonald will be paid in to the main office. lf it is not each member will get vack what has paid in since last June. A meeting of the lodge is called for Monday evening at 5:30 o’clock, in the Supreme court room, to con- sider the situation. io Heartburn.

All of the reports of the list takers have not been made to the county commissioners, but énough have oeen made togetber with estimates on the others forit to be known that the increase in the value of the prop- erty of the county oyer last year will be $300,000, or more. The fol- towing townships have reported in- creases: Barringer $6,000; Bethany $6,927; Cool Spring $15,000; Olin $13,000; Sharpesburg $3,000; Shiloh $8,561; Turnersburg $19,000; Union Grove $10,805: Davidson $21,178; Statesville (outside) $22,730. It is estimated by the list takers that Siatesville (inside) increased about $100,009 and Coddle Creek about $75.000. This makes $300,000, with no reports as to increase from Chambersburg, Eagle Mills, Falls- town and Concord. New Hoge re- ports a loss of $1,467, and is the only township reporting a loss. When the register of deeds veri- fies the figures we will print the re- ports in detail. This increase is gratifying. The valuation of land is not increased, the increases aris- ing largely from more correct re- turns of personal property, especi- ally of solvent credits, caused by the vew revenue and machinery acts. _> Dr. McLeliaad State Proxy A telegram from the Raleigh News and Observer to this paper Tuesday evening announced that Governor Aycock had appoiuted the directors of the North Carolina Railroad, on the part of the State, as follows: Huzh G Chatham, of Surry; L Banks Holt, of Alamance; L M Michaux, of Wayne; WH Wil- liams, of Catawba; A W Graham, of Granville; Dr V E Turner, of Wake; SC Penn, of Rockingham, and C M Cooke, Jr, of Gaston.

' igh News and Observer. t sm - eae ' heaven —as the Democats believe— The independence of speech and action, prated abort so much by lat- ter day patriots, who teach that the making of money is the chief and on- ly aim of man, means to these pa- triots that they should have license to call other people anarchists, dem- agogues, counterfeiters, disorgant zers and hypocrites, while those thev abuse skould not only take their medicine in silence, but even lick the band that smites them. Woe betide the day when such indepen- dence as this prevails in North Car- olina. Whena people have so far lost self-respect and spirit that they t insult then, in- no longer de < wace t a0 eease to & soore sepger and Inteilixencer. A patent truth has seldom been go well expressed. The men in North Carolina who are clamoring for what tney call ‘‘independence of thought and action” invariably ac company their demand with the most scurrilous abuse of Democrats who believe in the platforms of 1896 and 1900, and with advecacy of the eardical prisciples of the Republi ean party. When they are answer- ed, they fly into a rage, say they ace @enied freedom cf speech and that “little fellows’’ are reading them out of the Democratic party, there- by seeking to win applause by pos- ing as martyrs for the sake of their convictions. This talk became systematic and was propagated by a central subsi- dized source prior to the coming of McLaurin into the State to advocate four Republican policies: 1. Subsi- dies; 2. Protection; 3. Imperialism; 4. Centralization. Following the delivery of that speech, full of abuse of Southern men who are ever true to the Democracy of Jefferson and Calhoun, a ‘‘bureau”’ saw to it that the speech was printed and widely circulated in this State. No- body objected to McLaurin’s “‘free speech.”’ His public utterances were public property and were dis cussed in the press ard elsewhere. It was shown that he was advocat- ing the same policies that Hanna supported in the Senate. They may be the correct policies, and any citi- zen has the right to advocate them without criticism But they are Republican policies, based upon Re- publican principles. They are op- posed at every point by traditional Democracy. Cleveland, Hill, Bry- an, Jones, Gorman,—the leaders of every school of Democratic thought —unite in opposition to tke policy promulgated by McLaurin at Char lotte. If what he preached at Char- lotte is Demoeratie in any particu- lar, then every Democratic leader from Jefferson and Madison. to Cleveland and Bryan has not known the abe’s of Democratic doctrine. The Democratic press of this and every other State declared that Mr. McLaurin was advocating Republi- can principles and undertook to show that they were wrong. Forthwith came the cry that ‘‘lit- tle fellows’’ had read McLaurin ou of the Democratic party. Let u see,who it was that read McLaurin out of the Demccratic party. In the last Congress upon every issue where there was a party division, Mr. McLaurin voted with the Me- Kinley administration. Democrats did not like this and said so, but though voting always with Hanna nobody read him out of the party. Shortly before the adjournment of Congress Mr. McLaurin requested the chairman of the Democratic cau- cus to erase his name from the mem- bership of the caucus. It was done at his request. Sometime after this MeLaurin was viven the distribution of Federal patronage for South Car- oiina and sought to buy the influence of General Wade Hampton, or to silence him, by the tender of the Columbia postotiice. The old Roman replied by saying: ‘The people of South Carolina know I cannot~be bougat.’’ Who was it that put Me- Zeurin outof the Democratic party? He did it himself by his own act. At thattime he doubtless thought he could organize with Federal pat- ronaye @ victorious white Republi- can party in South Carolina. After- wards he saw that as a Republican, even with Hanna’s money and Fed- eral patronage, he would have no chance of winning, and then he con- ceived the plaaof advocating Re- publican policies, distributing Re- publican patronage, and seeking re- election at the hands of Democrats. He calculated that there was strong Opposition to Tillman, and that many men of wealth would support him, and that he hada chance of success, and therefore he is running as a Democrat without advocating a single Democratic doctrine. We say that such a course is dishonest and dishonorable. There are good men advocating the measures for which McLaurin stands who enjoy the res- pect of honest men, but they are not claiming to be Democrats. They areeither avowed Republicans or claiming no party allegiance. No Methodist preacher hasa right to oe an appointment at the ands of his conference, and then preach the doctrine and policies of the Baptist church. If he believes in the doctrines held by the Baptist church, he openly Says so and open- ly espouses that faith, and retains the respect of all good men. Mr. McLaurin by every test known to party has proclaimed himself a Re- publican, yet seeks to represent a Democratic constituency by claim- ing stillto be a Democrat. And when Democrats repudiate such a dishonest course he and his clackers whine and play the baby act and de- clare that the “‘little fellows in the Democratic party’’ deny them free- dom of speech and action, Here is this paper’s platform: Let every man think as he pleases, write as he pleases, vote as he pleases. 1f he believes that McKin- ley’s policies are right and Republi- can principles right, let him say so and let him vote the Republican ticket. Andlet him doso with the knowledge that his conyictions are respected. Of course, if he is a public officer or seeks to lead public sentiment, his public expressions are common property, and public journals will weigh his reasons and his arguments, and he may expect to have those who differ with him expose what they deem his errors. But no honest man acting upon con- viction, willbe deterred by criti- ism from acting with the party he believes to be right. It is equally true that no honest man will sail under false colors—will advocate Republican doctrines while seeking to be a leader in the Democratic party, or advocate Democratic doec- trines while seeking to be a leader in the Republican party. Itis be- cause McLaurin and those who imi- tent a enna a 1 tate him seek to pursue such a course that they are justly con-| demred by good nen It is bis dis-} honesty, his ‘‘stealicg the livery of “jn which toserve the devil’’ that is reprehensible and contrary to the straightforward and transparent honesty which has characterized Southern leaders for all time, The people of North Carolina can- not be deceived long ata time. They havs neyer failed to resent interfer- ence in their affairs from outside sources; domination of their opin- ions even by leaders they trust and honor; or sailing under false colors. There is always need for plain speech, for healthy independence, for manly hostility, for straightfor- ward resistence to evil. But there is no room pow or ever in North Caro- iina for men who are preaching Re- puolican doctrine while professiag to be Democrats, and hypocritically crying out that free speech and free action are throttled. Most of all: There is no place for sailing under false colors, as McLaurin and his disciples are seeking to do. = —> + > +o Killed Himeclf Because of a Love Affair. Forsythe, Ga., Dispatch, 6th.

The builder maintained that the brick would not sustain a column of 300 feet. He is to under- take the construction ot a stack, and after it reaches a height that ordi- nary workmen refused to continue on the structure be will himself con- tinue it up until something gives way. If the thing falls before it reaches 300 feet he wins. Otherwise he loses. Thestack is to be six and a half bricks square at the base with &% square one foot flue up which the brick are to be conveyed.

Bridgeton, N, J., Dispatch, 6th. Tor some time back there have been evil rumors afloat revarding a prominent local clergyman and his attentions tosome of the young wo- men of the flock. The climax of all this latent scandal was reached last night when ata later houra girl of 16, whose name has been mentioned inconnection with the pastor, was seen coming alone from the darken- ed church by @ party of men who had been watching the clergyman’s movements during the evening and who were convinced he and the girl were alone in the church together. The girl was not molested. As soon as the girl had gone the watchers swept down on the church and surrounded it. After a search the clergyman was found in the cel- lar of the buildiug concealed in the coal hole. He was dragged out ina very much blackened and begrimed condition at first expressed surprise at the intrusion. A few stern words silenced him and he was escorted tohis home by one of the members of his church who feared that if he set out alone he might be roughly handled by some of the in- dignant citizens who were present at tbe time he was pulled out of his place of concealment. Tke clergyman is married and there was a painful scene when he was brought insuch a humiliating plight into the bosom of his family. He left town a few hours later and his family expects to follow him. His wife stands by bim loyally and expresses herself as convinced of his innocence. McKinley and McLaurin. Raleigh News and Observer. McLaurin closed his Fourth of Ju ly speech with praise of McKinley and said: ‘Woe had a President in the White House who was notafraid to trust ex-Confederates.’’ Grant. Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Harri- 300 ali appointed Southern men to office, but altogether they did not appoint one fiftieth as many Confed- erate soldiers to office as Grover Cleveland. And Senator McLaurin wanted to give South Carolina’s vote to Weaver ia 1892 instead of Cleveland. And, except in the mil- itary service, and commissions inei- dent to it where he could not decent- ly help it, McKirley has appointed’ very few, if any, Confederates to ofice. Let’s give Mr. McKinley credit for having gracefully and patrioti: cally recognized Lee, Wheeler and other brave ex-Confederates in the war with Spain, but there is no call in doing that to ‘slop over’’ or to become Republicans. Mr. McKinley is a sincere Republican and does not preach Republican doctrines and pose asa Democrat. Therein he is immeasureably better than McLau- rin. The South’s motto is: ‘No sailing under faise colors.”’ Red Hot From the Gun Was the ball that hitG. B. Stead- man, of Newark, Mich., in the Civil War.

State Senator John Thompson is about one of the best story tellers in these parts, and his reportoire includes a lot of good ones, fish and otherwise. On the truthfulness of some he will stake his reputation for veracity, but he tells one which he always prefixes with the statement that it was told him by a minister of the gospel, Dr. Bardwell, who will be remembered here by the old- er inhabitants as the assistant of Dr. Edgar of revered memory, who was the pastor of the First Presby- terian cburch during the latter years of General Andrew Jac*son’s life. and attended the old hero in his last illness. Senator Thompson said: “Dr. Bardwell used to visit my father’s house when I. was a boy and the story I am about to tell you was related to me on the occasion of one of these visits. We were out av the veranda smoking one evening after supper. The doctor was fond of dogs and was a pretty good sportsman, and naturally the con- versation turned on this subject. “Speaking of dogs said Dr. Brad- well, reminds me of a dog ® hich be- longed to a friend of mine in Miss- issippi. Ibad been invited to hold services ata church near this friend’s house and wrote him to meet me at the station, some six miies from his house. on the Saturday afternoon before Sunday, the day of the ap pointment. : ‘He was on time with horses and we started to his home. I noticed a very handsome bird dog followed us, and havivg beard that some one in that neighborhood owned an especially well trained trick dog I asked my friend about it. 2 “That’s the dog, at the same time pointing at his dog which had ran ahead of us and was waiting at the forks of the road. : “J asked him to make him perforin atrick. He got down from his horse, called the dog, and taking out bis pocketbook held it to the dog's nose. He then took out a sil- ver half-dollar and walking some distance into the woods raised up a large rock and put the money under it. We then resumed our journey, and when probably a half a mile away, my friend called his dog and told him to wo back and get the money. : “The dog without the least hesita tion, started back on arun, and my friend explained as the rock was heavy the dog would be unable to turn it over, so would have to scratch under it to reach the piece xf money and he would not proba- bly reach home before we reach there, it then being about three miles further to his house. . ‘However. when we reached home the dog was not there. We ate supper and still the dog did not come, nor had he put in an appearance when we retired about 10 o'clock. “The next morning we got up about day light, and hearing a noise outside my friend opened the door and the dog rushed in dragging with him apair of pantaloons which he dropped on the floor. 4 “Of course we were both mysti- fied, but had not long to walt an explanation, for shortly afterward a man who lived several miles from my friend’s house rode up on 2 mule and inquired if a dog with a pair of pantaloons in his mouth had come into the house. The dog at this mo ment came out on the porch, and the man said: ‘Why. there's the dog now.’ f ‘‘My friend told his caller that the dog had really brought a pair of pantaloons home with him, but he did not understand it bimself. “The man said that late in the afternoon the day before he found the dog scratching under a large rock and thinking that the dog was after a rabbit stopped and lifted the reck up, and to his surprise found s half-dollar on the under side. “Be put the money in his pocket and the dog followed him bome.The dog appeared to be friendly and the man petted him and gave him his supper. At night when the family retired the dog was put on the out- side, but he kept up such a racket that no one could sleep on the place and when the man opened the door to drive the dog off he rushed into his bedroom and -at once vecame very quiet, lying down near the foot of the bed. where he slept ali night. “Karly in the morning, the man said, he got upand opened the win- dow, and the instant he did so the dog seized his pantaloons in his mouth and jumping out of the win- dow fled. “The man followed as soon as he could get his mule. ‘‘Hearing this story my friend got the pantaloons and on searching the pockets found the half-dollur which he had hid under the rock the after- noon before.”’ > 2 <e Specifications Wanted Chetham Record. ’ “Much ado about nothine”’ would bea proper title to the complaints that are being made against the ma- chinery act and revenue law of the last Legislature. So distinguished a body as the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce has. acopted resolutions denouncing these acts as ‘‘inquisitoriai und un- constitutional,’ and calling on all chambers of commerce in the State to co-operate in urging the Gover- nor to call the Legislaturein special session. Of course the G»vernor has yery promptly said that he would not call a special session, and thus far no other chamber of com- merce has endorsed the Fayetteville resolutions. The Charlotte cham- ber declined to do so at a meeting on last Monday night. We fear that our Fayetteville friends have acted without their usual conservatism. We note that ali the complaints against the revenue bill are of a gen- eral nature. Governor Aycock very sensibly says that we would there- fore respectfully call on some one of the complainants to specify the par- ticular parts which are soobjection- able. We very much doubtif many ofthecomplainants have carefully read the law and fully understand its provisions. The most of the op- position to the revenue law has been aroused by those who are stockhol.- ders in corporations, which are re- quired to make reports by section 6, And yet the questions asked these corporations are not any more ‘‘in- quisitorial’’ than the questions which have been asked every individual taxpayer for many years. And why should any honest tax-payer— whether an individual or a corpora- tion—object to being questioned about the property which he should list for taxation? ; Wilmington Messenger, . delivers - Breakers Ahea*. Charlotte News. Under the above caption the ven erable and brilliant editor of the the most comprehensive view of the present situation, in Southern poli- tics, we have had the pleasure of reading.

There are several classified demo- cratic papers that are talking of in- dependent thinking ,and independent action, and independent talking, and doing as you please in politics.

But they know a wise, able, honest avd honorable leader like William A. Graham. George E. Badger, Thomas Bragy. Zebulon B. Vance, Alfred M.

Dowiecites Driven out of Town. Evanston, Ills,, Dispatch, 5th. T Twenty-one disciples of Jonna Alexander Dewie visited Evaunstor, a suburb of Chicago, to-pight. and despite the cffurts of the entize . lice force, a mob of 1,000 peori= drove them out of town. Severai days ago four of Dowie’s missiou- aries were egged and driven our of Evanston andto-night’s visit of tke 21 was intended toconvert the peo- ple of Evanston and show them the erroroftheirways. Theinstant the Dowieites began their meeting to- night they were assailed with eggs, vegetablesand other missiles. The guard of policemen was too small to afford much protection and the crowdsoon bezan to hustle the mis siovaries into the street in @ Manver that looked serious. Chief of Police Knight called the entire police force to the rescue, but it includes only 30 men and was us- able tocope with the mob. Several of the male Dowreites were knocked down and both men and women were liberally bespattered with eggs and mud. The missionaries finally aban- doved their meeting and fled from the town, the police protecting them as they ran for the cars. Brave Men Fal!

As the cashier’s bonks | tallied with taose of the other de- partments, the officials were forced! to the conclusion that somebody ac- quainted with the inside affairs of! the mint bad taken the money. Di-| rector of the Mint Roberts, of Wash- | ington, D. C., made the following | statement: ***We have been very reluctant to conclued that a shortage exists. We have fought against the belief that there is anythicg wrong, but after three days’ work in checking calcu- lations and going Over the count, we have still to face the situation of $30,000 loss in coin that the books call for. “**There appears to be no escape from the zonclusion that some one or more persons employed in the mint is faithless to thetrust reposed in himor them. There is a possibil- ity of an over-payment to a deposi- tor. It is improbable, however, that so large an overpayment could be made.’ ‘‘Both Superintendent Leach and Director Dimmick declared that suspicion could not point to Cashier Cole, since his books were in perfect condition and cailed for the amount missing.”’ -__oOoooo sO > So A Dog that Chews Tobacco. Eayetteville Observer. Capt. W. G. McLauchlin ownsa dog that isa tobacco chewing fiend. When or how this animal acquired the accomplishment is not known. The dog which is a fine pointer named Don, was brought here from the estate of the jate Capr. T. J. G@reen,at White Hall, Bladen coun ty. When he first arrived the ani mal would almost go into spasms and could not be quieted. Ouae day an old negro arrived from White Hall, and hearing the dog makea terrible racket, he pulled a large plug of tobacco from his pocket, and tearing off agood sized chew gave it to Don. The dog began chewing ravenously and remained quiet the rest of the day. The old man left the plug, remarking that he brought it for the dog, and went without fur- ther explanation. The dog now has his daily allowance of tobacco, and ke does not disturb the household arrangement. “I wish to truthfully state to you and the readers of these few lines that your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is without question, the best and only cure for dyspepsia that I have ever come in contact with and I have used many other preparations.

Fifteen of the natives and about 300 of the mission pupils are report- ed to have been killed during the encounters, The governor of Quel- part says the trouble was the fault ofthe pupils and arose from their support of the tax collectors in ievy- ing illegal taxes upon the natives.

The local, after: the passing of the passenger train, pushed three cars heavily loaded out on the the structure to unload stone for the masons working beneath on the stone foundations, The work of unloading had hardly begun when without any warning the whole structure bearing the three cars, filled with laborers, fell with an aw- ful crash into thevalley. So sudden was the affair that only one man had a chance to leapin time to save him- self frominjury. The list of dead includes Conductor Phil A. Moore, of Buffalo; J. S.

Engiueer Parish Died at Mooresville. Mooresville Enterprise. ~ Mr, Walter L. Parish died at the Central Hotel Wednesday night at 10 o’clock after three weeks confine ment with typhoid fever. Deceased was about 40 vears of age, and was asonof the late David Parish of Cabarrus county. He leaves an aged mother, Mrs. Amanda Parish, six brothers and one sister. Two broth- ers, Messrs. Smith and Mack Parish live in Texas; Mr. D. B. Parish, of Raleigh; Messrs. B.E., V. C. and W. L. Parish and Mrs. Mary Bonds, of Cabarrus. Mr. Parish had been in the em- ploy of the Southern Railway for a little more than 19 years, and seryed his employars faithfully, most of the timeas an enyineer. During ali his service as a railroad man, he had never been ina wreck. He was one Y|of the Southern’s most trusted en- gineers. . When the North Carolina Midland was opened from this point to Winston, Mr, Parish asked for the run, which was given him. Since he made his home at Mooresville he had made a great number of friends and was esteemed by everybody. In his death our community loses a good citizen, the railroad an honest and faithful man, the Pythiansa true and loyal Knight. The remains were taken to Con cord for burial and were interred yesterday at Rocky Ridge grave yard, about three miles from the city, and in sight of his old _planta- tion home. Among the Pythians and others accompanying the remains were: J. M. Deaton, Z. V. Turling- ton, C. T. Carr, D. E. Turner, W. D. Templeton, J. F. Brawley, R. M. Johnston, C. E. Cornelius, R, W. Freeze and Mrs. L. D. Parker, Mr. W. L. Parish, a brother of the de- ceased was with him when he died. There were many beautiful floral tributes laid upon the corpse, among them a very handsome one from Zeb Vance Lodge Kights of Pythias. Capt. L. D. Parker and his crew made their usual run yesterday, but their engine bore evidence of ade- parted member, the engine being han¢somely draped in honor of him who had held the throttle so long, and in whom the crew ever felta sense of security in trusting their lives to his safe deliverance at the end of the line. > — The Ohio Platform Alright. Raleigh Newsand Observer. The platform of the Ohio Demo- cratic convention rings clear on the leading issues. It opposes subsides, imperialism and puts a strong plank in favor of putting all articles con- trolled by a trust on the free list. The nominee for governor, Col. Kil- bourne. is a Democrat of the Thur- man schovl. There is noback track there. Ex-Governor Richard &. Hubbard, of Texas, died at his home in Tyler Friday. He was minister to Japan under Cleveland, eo , against members of the orderin their Knights of Pythias Shortage. Chicago Dispatch, 12th ! The Supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias, now in session at Chica- | g0, investigating the affairs of the | endowment rank of the order, late | last night accepted the resignation of John H. Hinsey, ex-president of the endowment rank, as member of | the (board of contro!. Following this, the supreme lodge adopted a| resolution which instructed the su- preme chancellor and board of con- trol to prosecute civilly and crimin- ally ali persons Jiable for offenses committed against the endowment rank. This resolution passed by a unanimous vote, as also did another, which instructed the chancellor com- mand and board of control to pro- ceed with a view toward expulsion respective lodges who might be found guilty of violating their obligations in the handling of funds. After ad- journment of last night’s session it was said that if criminal prosecution are instituted, which now seem to be almost certain, a number of men who were formerly connected with the endowment rank and whom the su- preme lodge members consider re- sponsibie for the present financial condition, will be involved. The ac- tion of the supreme lodge in accept- ing the resignation of Mr. Hinsey was taken after two days’ session, at which the report of the board of control of the endowment rank and those of the insurance commissioners of Illinois, Connecticut and Kansas, had been gone over and fully discuss- ed. Mr. Hinsey made good his promise to appear before the supreme cour- cil in his own defense. It was said that his explanations regarding the investment of funds made while he was at the head of the rank were far from satisfactory to the supreme lodge representatives, but there be- ing some question of the right to ex- pel him his resignation was accept- ed. The representatives of the supreme lodge, however, were not in a dis- position to let the matter of Hin. sey’s connection with the supreme lodge settle bis standing 1n the ord- er of the Knghts of Pythias. The following resolutions were adopted: “Resolved, That the supreme chancellor and the board of contro] be and they are hereby authorized and empowered and directed to pre- fer charges and prosecute or cause to bdeprosecuted, before the proper tribunaljfor tribunals of the order, all persons heretofore or now connected with the endowment rank for any and ail violations of their obligation and for any and ail offenses under the laws of the order. ‘Resolved, That the supreme chancellor and board of control be and they are hereby empowered and directed to prosecute, or cause to be | prosecuted, criminally in any court, | all persons who have embezzled the funds of the order, defrauded the or- er, committed perjury or any other offense in connection with the en- dowment rank anc they bring or cause to be brought civil action against all persons who are liable to the order from any canse in connec tion with the endowment rank.”’ The wording of this resolution is generally regarded as containing the charges under which prosecution is to be instituted. Mr. Hinsey is a member of the Inter-Domain Locye, of this city, and itis probable that the supreme officers will prefer their charges against himin that lodge, The supreme lodge today decided that the most expedient way of mect- ing the deficiency of $500,006 in the treasury of the endowment rank is to raise the insurance rate to the maximum prescribed by the nation- al fraternity. In this way if money shall not be forthcoming, it is likely a special assessment of 50 cents will be put onevery member of the or- der for the benefit of the endowment rank. This will raise $250,000. The board of control will continue to investigate the affairs of the en- downment rank. The only immedi- ate action which will be taken will be, it is said, the instituting of some of the foreclosure suits in an en- deavor to rescue as much as possible of the money said to have been care- lessly invested. : ie Lighbtning’s Freaksin W.lkes Wilkesboro Chronicle.

Sixteen Persuns Killed in a Collision: A Great Kush for Free Land. Kansas City, Mo., Dispatch, rzth. Sixteen persons are dead, two oth- ers probably fatally injured and more than a score of others less se- riously burt as the result of a head- end collision between a passenger ;and fast liye stock train on the Chi- cago & Alton, near Norton, Mo., this morning. Six were killed out- right, four died on a train conveying them to Kansas City and fuur died at a hospital in this city. The dead are: Daniel M. Anna, Slater, Wo., conductor of the freigut train; P. J. Anderson, Slater, Mo., engineer of the freight train; Frank Briggs, engineer of passenger train; T. S. Rogers, Chicago, United States Express company messenger; Mrs Gillman, of Goodland, Ind., all killed outright; D. W. Hooker, Syracuse, N. Y., died on the train, Mrs. C. W. Snyder, Jasper, N° Y., died on train; G. L, Roy, cashier of the Wilming- ton, Iil.. bank died on train; Sydney Jones, Kansas City, died in the hos- pital, as did Daniel Donneily, of Mexico, Mo., fireman of freight train, and Mrs. R. J. Curtis, Genesee, N. Y.., Mrs. Dickson, 67 years old, and Lula Ryder, a girl of 20, of Kent- land, Ind. The passenger train was traveling in three sections, on account of the heavy Epworth League business to San Francisco. The wrecked train was the first section and contained no Leaguers, Conductor Anna, of the freight train, ezst-bound, had orders to meet the second section of the passenger at Slater, the next station east of Norton, but apparently overlooked the fact that the first section, which was 53 minutes late, had not passed. The head brakeman on the freight, who wasabout four cars from the eagine, says conductor Anna assum- ed the throttle himself and was run- niag the engine when the collision occurred. The trains met two miles west of Norton ona curve surmount- ing a high embankment. A. relief train started from Kansas City at noon and returned here this evening. Two died on the way and were delivered to the undertakers, while the others were distributed between two hospitals. The trains collided while going at a good rate of speed. The engines were pusied to either side of the track practically demolisked, while the forward cars of the pas- senger train telescoped each other. The forward pullman andthe tourist sleeperiu front were burned. The baggage car was wrecked and the freight cars were pilled up on both engines and burned. The train which was wrecked was one of the finest passenger trains in the United States. The equipment was all new, including the sleeping cars, coaches, bagyage car and locomotive. The injured suffered from scalds, due to escaping steam from the wrecked locumetiyes, there being no broken limos. Some of the victims had inhaled steam and were in worse condition than the first examination indicated. Soon after the arrival here three of the injured died at the hospital. Identification of the dead was difficult, because the clothing had been removed to apply relief to the scalded surfaces. Mrs. Hilda Haslip, of Chenoa, Ill., T. C.. Bray, of Chicago, a shoe dealer, and Mrs. Frances Walker,of Brooklyn,and an elderly woman, unidentified, are ina critical condition. anu ng ee Boy Hilled His Companion and Then Himee!f. Atbana, N. Y., Dispatch, r2th. Raymond Albers, a 13-year-old lad, this evening shot and killed Emanuel Koehler, a boy of 12, and then hung bimself. The boys were playing and according to statements of neighbors they had quarrelled some daysugo. Albers is the son of Albert Albers, a well-known painter, and Koehler is the son Rev. Joha T. Koeheler, a minister of the Gospel. - The shovting took place at 6 o clock this eveaing. Young Koehl- er was Standing ona fencein the rear of Albers’ house. He was with his 18-year-old brother, Thecdore Koehler, who was the only one who saw theshooting. The little fellow told his father to-night tnat the two boys had some words and that Albert i raised a rifie that he had and point- ing itat his brother shot him, The boy says that Albers, when he saw Koehler fall from the fence, said. “¥'m sorry I did it.’’ The rifle used was 222 F!obert rifle of short cali- bre. heart. He died almost instantly. When Albers saw that he had done he ran into the house an@ told his mother. The neighborhood was quiekly alarmed with the news and during the excitement Albers had run away. It was not until the ar- vival of the police that a search was made for him. He was found in the cellar of his home, suspended by the neck from the end of a rope tied to a beam of the floor above. When he jearned that Koehler was dead Albers went to the cellar and taking a piece of rope, tied 1t to a beam and standing on a cask fasten- ed in about bis neck. He then |jumped from the cask and was sus- pended in mid air when found. cut down he was still alive, but he died a few m>ments later. SS ee No Reason to Endorse Bryan. Raleigh News and Observer.

Hundreds were lined before the var- ious registration booths when dark- ness came to niyht, and tomorrow and Friday the registrations will continue until all shall have been given an opportunity to file their names. The drawiag by lottery will begin on July 29, and until then none of the 50,000 applicants will know whether or aot he has been lucky enough to. receive a home- stead. ; the lottery scheme robbed the opening of the picturesque run and the exciting times incident to the great opening of the Cherokee strip ten years ago. Compared with the event, the affair today was tamein the extreme. Although there are perhaps 20,000 peoplein town, prac- tically no disorder prevailed. Asa rule, the home-seekers are well pro- vided with money and provisions and aside from the long wait in the sun before the registration booths noserious inconvenience has been experienced. Last night hundreds of people slept in the streets to maintain their places in lines which began forming yesterday at the six regis- tration booths at El Reno. Many had waited on the border of the new country for two years or more, and the last night of their long vigil was the most trying they had experienc- ed. The line was made up of the hale, the lame and the brawny fron- tiersman, sprawled out in the dust. The crowd before each booth se- lected acaptain and each man and woman in line was given 3 number which each pinned conspiciously on hisor her clothing. A company member was permitted occasionally to absent himself from line fora short breathing spell and invariably his place was protected by _ his fel- low watchers. As the hour of 9 o’clock neared in- terlopers tried to push in and break the numerical order of the line or- ganization. This instantly raised bad blood, and when word was pass- ed down the line that the govern- ment officials would not recognize the line organization, but would register the first persons to present themselves there was threats of vio- lence and rioting, ‘Lrouble was prevented by the early announce- ment that the line organization would be respected by the govern- ment officials. Cheers and waving of hats greeted this word, and from this time forth there was no sign of trouble. Applicants were admitted to the booths four ata time and the filing proceeded rapidly all day. During the day heat became in- tense, but no serious suffering was reported. The numerous women in line were treated gallantly by the men, who shaded them from the sun with umbrellas and furnished drinks from the lemonade venders who piled their ranks. The second place of registration named in the proclamation was at Lawton, 26 miles overland, where similar scenes to those enacted at El Reno were witnessed.

C., July 18, 1901. Recently the statement that Gov- ernor Aycock would be a candidate to succeed Senator Pritchard nas | been going the rounds of the ‘‘cem-} mercia!’’ Democratic papers. When the report was called to the Gover- nor’s attention he said: “‘It ab- solutely fsise. The people of the Gtate have already given me the highest officein their gift, and my onty ambition is to serve them well not for anything I expect or want in the fuyare but on accownt of the honer they have done me in the past.”’ These are noble words. Govervor Aycock is right not to enter the race for Senator. Since the war the Democratic party has taken one Senator from the East and one from the West. While there is no law requiring this to be done, it has be- come a custom, and one which should be rigidly adhered to for the sake of party harmony. At the proper time the West will furnish a wortby aolleague to the great cap- tain of the East—Furnifold M. Sim- mons. The State and country have other boners in store for our great Governor; but, if he never holds another his administration willlive asone of the most illus- trious in the State’s history, if the record of its first ‘ew months is maintained: to the end. Such o Governor as Charles B. Aycock is, and will be, needs no other office to place his name among the State’s first sons, living or dead. eee is office, Ger. Julia S. Carr’s latest inter- view, which we publish in another column, materially modifies the po- sition he ‘7ck in bis recent New York Interviews. He says we must have a new leader, and by indirec- tioa gives currency to the talk of Bryan’s enemies that Bryan is still @ candidate for president, while Mr. Bryan says heis not. He should be allowed to define his position for himself. General Carr talks vaguely of ‘“‘broader politics’’ and ‘new leaders in North Carolina.’’ Had the result of our senatorial primary last fall been different General Carr would be now entirely satisfied with the ‘breadth’ of our politics and our presentleaders. He shows his sore toe in all these interviews, and gives comfort to the enemies of De- mocracy by repeating their charges sgainst it. For our part, we don’t believe the Democratic party ot North Carolina ever had purer, bet ter leaders than it has now, or that the State ever had a government which did more for the advancement of the people than Governor Ay- cock’s isdoingand willdo. General Carr will have to be more explicit in bis bill of indictment before be ese poaka 129 faith of 12¢ Demo- erates of North Carol‘na in their leaders. ie SE ee A silly story was printed in some of the daily papers Monday that Vr. Bryan would advise his friends among the Democrats of Ohio to bolt the Democratic ticket. He comes out inhis paper and urges zvery Ohio Democrat to support the resularly nominated ticket. So an- other lie on Bryan falls by the way- side. > °° ie — Ar. Bryan eriticises the Ohio Dem- ocratic platform because it does not endorse the Kansas City platform. Iathis we do not agreeSwith Mr. Bryan. The campaign in Obio this yesris purely a State campaigr, and the Democratic platform does well to deal principally with State matters. << Phere is alot of silly rot going the rounds of the ‘‘commercial’’ Bemocratic papers that Mr. Bryan will be a bolting candidate for pres- ident in 1904.

The editor of the Spartanburg Herald regently appoiased postmas- ter by McLaurin and NcKinley, says in his paper: “We co admit, however, that our views on some of the new issues that have come to the front recently have besn modified. We recognize the fact that there is much to be said on both sides of expansion and ship subsidy, and without blindly con- demning these issues merely because they are adyocated by the Republi- eans, we haveurged the Democrats to consider them.”’ A Federal office, properly salari- ed; seems to have eaused several newspapers to have their ‘‘views’’ recently “modified.”’ Dering last May an infant child of our neighbor was suffering from cholera infantum.

In many cases the plants had been shut down by the first strike order, which affected the sheet steel and the steel hoop companies only. The last or- der brought out all of the union plants of the American Tin Plate Company, with the single exception of the vew mill in Monnsen, which ‘s still running. At the Amalgamat- ed Association headquarters it was said that the figures given out Sat- urday night regarding the number men who would be actually idle in the mills of the three companies had been proven correct. This number was placed at 74,000. The strike, although one of the greatest that has been declared in recent years, will affect Pittsburg but slightly. Of the 74,000 men idle, 2,500 are in Pittsburg, 800 in Allegheny and 1,500 in McKeesport. President Shaffer has itin his power to close more Pittsburg mills, but it is not thought that he will do anything of a radical nature until he is compelled to. The American Steel Hoop Com- pany’s supposedly non-union mill, known as the Painter Mill, in West Carson street, was closed this morn ing in ail its branches. The tie-up at this mill was said to have been 2 surprise to the mill owners and officials in charge of it. The other plant, known as the Lindsay & Mc- Cutheon Mill, in Allegheny, was shut down completely in the pudding and bar mills. All the skiled workmen refused to enter the mill this morn- ingand the company did not even operate the fire furnaces. The fin- ishing department of the mill was working during the day, as the men are pot in the union, but it is claim- ed by the workers that the employes in that department will not go to work in the morning. ——> «-E>- oe Go5verner Aycock Will Offer Rewards for Lynchers. Raleigh Post, 14th. Yesterday Governor Aycock re- ceived a communication from the futernational Council of the World, headquarters at Seattle, Washing- ton, notifying him that that society offered rewards of $500 each for par- ticipants in the recent lynchings at Smithfield and LaGrange. In speaking of theinterference of this outside organization with the affairs cf this State the Governor said that he thought that North Carolina could take care of her own aifairsin the matter of lynchings as well as other things, and that he de- sired to serve notice now that here- after when a lynching occurred any- wherein North Carolina he would immediately thereafter offer a re- wardonthe part of the State of $400 for each of the participants in the lynching: He said that he desired to invoke she support of the press and the ministry io a determined effort to stamp out lynching in this State, aa end he is Getermined to attain, even though. it should bankrupt the State. : The Governor said also that he wanted it understood that those who commit that crime which brings about lynching will be summarily dealt with, and their just deserts meted out to them with all possible dispaica. The Governor realizes that along withincreasing the peril of partici- pating in a lynching brought about by the offering of large rewards for theirexposure and prosecution in the courts, there must be an assurance io the outraged people that the fiends who commit these diabolical erames in their mi¢st will be prompt- ly punished by the government; and this is what the Governor proposes to prove to the satisfaction of the people the next time an outrage is committed and the law is allowed a “Whaek’’ at the culprit in meting out justice to him at rope’s end, so to express it. It is hardly probable that the 3500 reward offered by the Interna- tional Council of the World will in- duze any one to reveal the names of any of the participants in the La- Grange and Smithfield lynchings, Pee IRS ae TS Massac re of C bristians in Korea.

IN HER ROOM. s§ Lou Baity’s Thrilling Kaperience —idvde Would-Be Burglar Escapes. A daring sneak thief or burglar entered the house of Mr J. L. Ker- tees on Stockton street fn the north- eastern part of town Tuesday night Miss Lou Baity, Mr. Kerfees’ sister- in-law, lives with him and occupies two connecting rooms on one side of the hall. The front room she uses as a sewing room, the rear one as a bed room, between these rooms is a screen Coor and a heavy portiere. A door leads from the bed room to another room, occupied by Frank Kerfees, Mr. Kerfees’ son, and one window opensinto the yard. In vhe sewing room are two doors. one leading into the halland one to the yard. The family retired early ex- cept Miss Baity, who was busy sewing About 11 o’clock she heard some noise in her room. She thought it was ber nephew, Frank Kerfees, and called him, not getting any answer, she picked up the lamp and went in theroom, thinking the house cat might have gotten in She found the window biinds open, but saw nothing wrong. Sheclosed the blinés and returned to her sewing machine, but had hardly seated her self when she heard something ap- parently slipping over the matting on the floor of the bed room. Miss Baity decided to investigate and getting up slipped to the door be- tween the rooms and drew back the curtains disclosing a negro man. Before she could scream the negro caught her by the throat and started across the sewing roomto the door leading to the yard, dragging Miss Baity with him. Although being choked Miss Baity managed. to scream and continued to struggle. When the negro reached the door he found it locked and so released his Captive to try to open the door. Miss Baity ran as soon as she could into the hall calling her brother-in law. Assbe ranshe heard the ne- gro following but turned and ran vack through the bed room and jumped out, as Mr. Kerfees discov- ered when he got into the room. The time occupied by the struggle between Miss Baity and the negro and his escape was very short. Miss Baity did not know the blinds in her sleeping room were ep- enuntil she went in there after hearing the first noise, her little neice, Lija Kerfees having left them open late in the afternoon. It is supposed the negro stepped into Frank Kerfees’ room when Miss Baity first entered her room. When the negro released Miss Baity at the door she got a good look at him. He stood with one hand on the key and tke other on the knob of the lock. He was cf medium height, dark ginger colored, young, smooth faced and had on a grayish pair of pants with what looked like splashes of mortaron them. Thc’ightfwas burn ingand Miss Baity.thinks she would recognize him again. Mr. Kerfees went to Chief of Po lice Karcner, who got his blood- hound pups,—they are only 5 and 7 months old—and went out to the house. The negro’s track was struck undur the window, and the pups trailed to the house of Mrs. J. W. Mize near by. Here one of the dogs went up on the back porch aad toa window, gettinga light they found muddy tracks oa the porch, which were easily traced in the soft earth to the Mr. Kerfees house. The dogs str ick the trail again, a.d followed in into the street, arouad by the old creamery building, on down through the woods to where the road comes into Tradd street near ‘‘Free Nancy”’ branch. Here the trail turned up Tradd street toward the row of negro cabins, known as ‘“‘box-car row.” The pups trailed nicely until they crossed a low water covered place in the road which the buryvlar had evi- dently waded. Thre t.ail was lost here and no further clew could be found of the negro, Miss Bait 7, although badly fright ened was not injured atall.

Ws © he War Department today made public Brigadier General Funston = report of the capture of Aguinaldc : made under date of May 6th. This report presents in detail all the facts relating to the capture of Ag- vinaldo which were made public at that time. General Funston shows that his entire plan of the expedition was approved by General MacAr- thur. General Funston yives the following account of the forged let- ters which were used to aecelve Aguinaldo. >On October 24, 1900, while scouting ip the vicinity of Gapan. Neveva Ecija, I bad surprised the insurgent chief, Lacuna, in his camp. and hed captured amon other things, some writing paper which already bere bis headquarter’s scal. On this paper two letters were writ- ten to Aguinaldo over the carefully forged signature of Lacuna. In one nnder date of February 24, Lacuna. acknowledged the receipt of Agui pala@o’s letters of Janvary 13th and 14th, and thanked him for the con- firmation of his (Lacuna’s) appoint: maant a8 Brigadier-General. [It wil be remembered that the ietters of Aguinaldo referred to bad falleo is- to our hands. One letter indulged in the usual rhetoric employed by the insurgent chiefs in their. corres- pondence and gave a glowing ac- count of the progress of the cam- paign fromthe standpointof Lacuna. ‘Another letter dated February 28th, was prepared stating that the writer had just received a communieation from Ballermo, Aguinaldo ordering | him to send one of his best compan- ies under a reliale chief to Emilio Aguinaldo in Isabela. “In abcordance with he was sending this force Lieutenant-Colonel Hilario Plac The latter, be stated, had been cap tured by the Americans a year ago and after bis release bad lived in Jaen, but recently had taken to th Ges these orcers | uoder ida. he field agaia when ordered to do so by Lacuna. This wasincluded in tke letter for fear that Aguinaldo might have heard that Plancido bad been captured by the Americans and had taken the oath of allegiance. The letter also stated that Aguinaldo’s courier, Ceciio Sisismundo. was with Lacuna and would accompany the column. These two letters were dictated by me but written by Segovia. We were in possession of auumber of samples of Lacuna’s signature and had previously suc- eeeded in executing a very neat for- gery of his autograph at the end of each of the two sheets.” Of the actual capture General Funston says: “The Macabebes started into the town and we heard a few shots fol- lowed by scattered firing. We hasti ly crossed the river and running up into the town found that the Maca- bebes were somewhat demoralized and firing wildly 1a every direction. They were gotten under control with some difficulty. Aguinaldo’s guard oi about fifty armed and nearly uniformed men had been drawn up to receive the reinforcements avd on being fired into broke and ran. A few of them returning the tire as they retreated. Aguinaldo, with nis officers hadawaited in his quart ers. Plasido and Sogovia entered the house to report their arrival, and aftera short conversation, Se govia stepped outside the house and ordered the Macabebes, who had just come up from the river bank te open fire on the insurgents, who were standing in line at a distance of about fifty yards. The Macade- bes were soexcited and nervous that their fire was very ineffective. But two of the insurgents were kill- ed, the remainder in their flight, throwing away IS rifles and a thous- and rounds of ammunition. “As soon as Segovia had given the order he ran back intothe house and opened fire on the officers sur- veunding Avuinaldo. He wounded Villa and Alhambra. The latter jamped out of the house into the riv- er and was not seen again. Villa, on being wounded surrendered, did also Santiago Barcelous, Aguinal- do's treasurer. “The five remaining officers es- caped from the house and swam the river. Placido seized Aguinaldo and told him that he was a prisoner of the Americans. At this juncture the Americans arrived ou the scene aup gave their attention to getting the Macabebes under control and protecting the prisoners from them. Once Macabebe was slightly wound- ed by a gunshot wound in the fore- head. In conclusion General Funsten Gealsous praise genérously to all who had ashare in the expedition. mentioning Captain Hazard, Cap- tain Newton, Lieutenant Hazard gad Lieutenant Mitchell, whilecs- pecially praising Lieutenant Taylor fer the discretion be showed after abtainings the .

Fe larmino Surrenders—Omber Phiiip- pine News M voila Dispatch, 12th, The forces of the insurgent leader Bellarmino, which have recently peen operating around Donzol, prov- ince of Sorogoson, were driven across the mountains by the Second Infantry and finaliy captured by the Sixth Cavalry. Bellarmino, with 1,000 men and 284 guns, surrendered to Colonel Wint at Albay, capital of the province of that name. One hundred more rifles will be surren- dered tomorrow. Laterin the day the official annoyacement of the sucrender of Bellarmino, was made. According #0 this account Bellar- mino, who has been operating in the province of Sorogoson, surrendered Thursday last, at Legaspi, on Albay Bay, with 32 officers, 215 guns and 3 600 rounds of ammunition. The insurgent presidentes of that -ection of the country and many Fil- ipinos accompanied Bellarmino, who wave himself up to Colonel Wint, of the Sixth Cavalry. In all since June 1,081 insurgents bave surren- dered in that district. Colonel Wint’s regiment came from China with General Chaffee. Before dis- embarking at Legaspi, Colonel Wint went to General Chaffee and asked ‘ne jatter if he wished him to cleac up that part of the country. Gen- eral Chaffee replied: ‘‘Yes, but I do not command until July +.’ In ed, in spite of the theories of mauay officers that cavalry could not be used in effective operations in such a country. Former Tilipino officers who be- longed to Malvar’s command report that 50 insurgents were killed and that many were wounded by the command of Lieutenant Macaci, during arecenttwo days’ tight in the proviace of Batanzas. The Twentieth Infantry has been ordered from northern Luzon to Gs- tanzas. Civil Governor Taft and Military Governor Chaileeare working ayree- ably together. They are holding in- formal conferences and are arriving at wutual understandings, a state of affairs hitherto almost unknowa here. The insurgent general, Cailles, who surrendered at Santa Cruz, La- guna province, June 24th, and his friends have offered to negotiate with Malvara, the insurgent leader in southern Luzon, for the latter's surrender. rr Turkey Settles With Uncle Sam. Washington Dispatch, 22th. The State Department has receiv- ed the amount of the American in- demnity claim against Turkey, $95,- 000. through the American legation at Constantinople. As is always the case, the claimsin the aggregate exceed the amount of the indemnity actually paid, but our government has expressed itself satisfied with the payment. It assumes full responsi: bility for the distribution, the Turk- ish government leaving it to the Stare Department to distribute the money among the claimants at its discretion and after its own fashion. hese claims are principally based upon losses sustained by American wi naries and educational insti- tutions inTurkey, notably those at Harpoot and Marasb, but there are a number of individual claims, such for instance as the uufortuuate bdi- eyclist, Lenz, the Pittsburg man, who was killed by Turkish soldiers while attempting to go around the globe on his wheel. The State Department officials feel the greatest satisfaction over the settlement oftheseclaims. Sec- retary Hay had been told by diplo- mats skilled in Oriental diplomacy, andin the political conditions of southern Europe, that he never would be able to collect them. Not only was there extreme diffculty in bringing any pressure to bear de- cause of the remoteness of Turkey, but we had to contend with the jeal- ousy of the great European powers, mostofi whom had claims against Turkey vastly larger in amount than ours, and whose total was beyond the ability of the Turkish govern- ment to meet. For more than ade- cade, these American claims have been pending. > Poe - North Caroiinaz Always a Land of Lib- erty.

The general remarked that be pre- ferred not being quoted further, aid such had been his intentions, bat since his mail contained so many letters bearing upon his New York interview, perhaps it might be well to abandon his original purpose. General Carr said: “My only desire is to see the Dem- ocratic party pull itseif together, and purge itself of its Populistic ideas and tendencies, and agaia be- come a great national party. Tam the same straightlaced Democrat | have always been, and propose to re- main so; 1 profess to be just as lox.al ‘to the Democratic organization, and as much devoted to the true princi- | ples of the party. : | ‘-Thave no desire or expectation 'of becoming the McLaurin of North Carolina.

Lhave striven to ‘live in the zealof defeat.’ But am persuaded that poth the good of the Democratic party and the best interest of North Carolina, and the South, for that matter, demands a new national leader. **An able and influential Southern daily journal recently said. ‘The tendency of present conditions and circumstances is and has been for some years to drive our ablest men from public life and to find and bricg fo the front a class a politicians whose chief capacity seems to be leading defeat where success is pos- sible.’ “Tam not seeking to leada new movement.

Some will have to vo to the left and others to the right, but they will all round it in good shape and get toxether upon wise and conservative Democratic platform ready for the Democratic victory which will surely come io 190-4. 1 Carolina recent years has been an anomaly. The Populist par- ty fused with the Democrats na- tionally and with the Republicans ia State affairs. One head and two bodies joined together. Succeeding campaigns must be fought upon en- tirely different issues. We must be done with guerrilla warfare. The time has come when our great na- tional Democratic party must give us a chart,safe and victorious. “Noman supported Mr. Bryno more loyally thaa myself, but the fact stares us ia the face that-he carried fewer States in 1909 than in 1896, and, besides the eleven South- ern States, carried only thirtees electoral votes.

Durirg the “‘off’’ season of af fairs theatrical Robson often enter- tained his distinguished colleagues at his summer home on Long Island. On one such occasion the trio after dinner took their seats on the piazza, when Booth, as usul, lapsed into silent reverie, while the others began to relate stories anent professional experiences. Finally the conversation turned on “‘dead- heads.*’ Robson had just finished an especially funny tale about one of these managerial bete noirs, when the voice of Booth was heard thus: “TI think, gentlemen, that I cap give you an anecdote about one of the tribe that is probably unique.”’ “Let's hear it, Edwin, by all iweans,’’ said Barrett. Booth fixed his sombre eyes on the sunset and began: “It was dur- ing the first visit that ] made to the South after the close of the Civil War. We were piaving in a little town in Alabama.

This is flying, but it does not satisfy the ambition tc avnibilate space. The faster we go the greater the craze for still more rapid locomotion seems to become. ‘ The most ambitious attempt in this direction is soon to be made in England. Some months azo a company ap- plied for a franchise to operate a railway between Manchester and Liverpov!. Evectricity is to be the Motive power Railway charters are always bard to get from parliament and there was special difficulty in this case, owing to the fact tnat the company seeking the franchise announced that it intended to run its trains at speeds ranging from 100 to 150 miles an hour. This seemed to many mem- bers of the parliamentary commit- toe to be reckless and danyverous and the charter was held up quite awhile. The projectors, however, sueceeded in eonvineing the committee that they will construct their line so that 100oreven 150 miles an hour will be no more risky tnan 50 to 60 miles an hour is on ordiuary rail- roads. The franchise has been granted and the wonderful railroad will be compled within a few months. The trains areto be run on ore r-il.

Mrs. Brown had aris- enand picked up the dough which she had made up yesterday evening for today’s bread. As she put her hand under the cloth covering the dough she felt something move and was horrified on examination to see a king snake coiled upin the dough. Her screams immediately attracted attertion of Mr. Brown. who 2des- patched the snake. It had crept under the cloth sometime during the night. _—_ a Bob Deal Frog and Gat Tale, Bob Deal stretches our credulity when he asks us to accept literally this frog and cat tail in a recent is- sue of the Wilkesboro Chronicle: “Did you ever hear of a frog outdo- ing acat inarat race?

The rat knew not the danger and ran in. The frog closed his mouth and the rat was safe. The cat caught the rat’s tail about the same time, but after a short tussel the cat left the frog alone in his glory, There are several eye wit- nesses to these facts.”’ —__»>___— A Naval Cadet Over 6 Feet and Weigbs Less Than 100 Pounds.

Within the next day or two a set ofrules will ve printed and issued from the Executive office, govern- ing applications to the Governor for pardons. These rules are now in the hands of the printer. The most important oneis that re- quiring the publication for two weeks of notice that application will be made to the Governor for a par- don, this notice to, be published in the columns of a paper in the county from which the conyict, for whom pardon is to be asked, was sentenced and in case no paper is published in the county, notice is tobe posted at the court honse and in other public places for two weeks. i The public notice which the appli- cant fora pardon must post shall not only announce that a pardon is ask- ed, but must state of what crime the applicaat was convicted, for how many years he was sentefced and how long he has already served. In fact the notice has to really amount to a coacise statement of-the case so that the people of the county may know exacly who wantsa pardon and on what ground it is asked. The object of this is that those op- posed to the granting of a pardon, if there isany reason why it should aot be granted, may have an equal op- portunity of being heard along with those who favor it. It is believed that in this way oaly those who de- servea pardon will secure it, aod if any are pardoned who are un- worthy. it will be due to the failure of those familiar with the facts to present them to the Governor. In other words, this rule turns the search light of publicity upon every pardon and every application for pardon. row Are Your Kidneys?

Wise, the widow of Goyernor Wise, whose campaign against the ‘‘Know Nothings’’ in 1854 was the most memorable ever known in Virginia or the country, died this evening at Ashland. Mrs. Wise was a Miss Mary Elizabeth Lyons, a daughter of Dr. Peter Lyons, a former physician. ‘Lhe de- ceased was eighty-three years old and in her youth was regarded as one of the most beautiful women in Virginia. She was Governor Wise’s third wife and is the step-mother of Hon. JohnS. Wise, of New York. In her youth Mrs. Wise, then Miss Lyons, frequently met Henry Clay, and when first presented to the great orator, the latter exclaimed: “Oh, that could be thrown into a den of such Lyons.”’ ent Foul Play is Suspected. Durham Sun, The tragic death of Charles C. Wilborn on the Southern railroad Sunday morning continues to bea topic of interest among his friends and acquaintances, and there, are apparently wellfounded reasons for believing that his death was not due to an accident but was cold blooded murder, the motive be- ing robbery. 2 He is said to have had about forty dollars when he Jeft Raleigh for Dur- ham with several companions, who were to accompany him to West Durham where he was to have been married Sunday afternoon, They all become more or less intoxicated and some of Wilborn’s friends be- heve that he was viven whiskey con- taining koock-out drops, which caused himto sink into a stupor, and that he was then robbed and laid across the railroad track in that condition tobe crushed to death by the car wheels. Others think that Wilborn was probably murdered outright and placed on the track to cover up the dark deed. It is said that his coat was folded up and placed on the railroad track as ifto be used for a pillow, and most any one would doubt thata man so drunk as not to realize the danger of sleeping on a railroad track would take the trouble to fold up acoat to lie upon. The youngmen who were with him last tell conflicting stories which is another suspicious circumstance. The contents of the partialiy filled whiskey flask are to be analyzed and some interesting developments may take place within a few days. preancesae eas The State Schools Books. Raleigh News ard Observer, ioth, In the State book adoption busi ness there has been a see-saw. For many weary days the Text-Book Commission kept the agents and book publishers waiting and now some of the book companies have the Commission in the same fix. The delay is caused by the failure of some of the companies to sign up the contracts and file their bonds, which isa necessary part of the adoption. Up to yesterday but two companies had been heard from these being the American Book Com- pany,D, C. Heath and Company. On yesterday the contract and bond of R. F. Johnson & Co., were received. This leaves three companies yet to be heard from, the University Pub lishing Company, Silyer, Burdett & Co., and Newsome & Co; This de- lay keeps the Governor from issuing his proclamation as to the books adopted, as it is not known whether the companies named are going to ‘“‘yback water’’ on their bids, and pre- fer to let the State keep ‘their for- feit money, or are going to abide by the figures they made in their bids.

Word came from Tennessee yes | terday to the foree here that he was | headed this way and to keep a sharp! lookout for him The police pro- ceeded to keep an eye open for him, although noone suspected his real identity, as his name Proctor, was not given. This morning Patrol- mean White saw @ man cross the square whom he had reason to sus- pect. He and Patrolman Taylor immediately began to follow him. Proctor went down South Main street and entered Mr. Noblitt’s siore. The officers watched ard when hecame out learned that he had beenin there to get a watch re- paired. They then followed :him and overtook him in front of Wil- liamsen’s store on Hatton avenue, where they began to question him, Mr. Taylor asked him where he was from and he said ‘Marion.” Then the officer asked to see *he watch, and Proctor said be took it to the store to have a crystal put in it, and when asked, said he had no other property. Previously, how- ever, Officer White had seen him leave a grip sack in Cook’s restau- rant, and after taking charge of Proctor thesatchel was found and gone through. : When the officers opened the sack they thougbt they had discovered a portable gold mine. It was com- pletely filled with watches, rings, pins and other articles of jewelry, many of them of great value. This finc completely identified Proctor as the man the Tennessee authori- ties wanted, as they said he had robbed a jewelry store there. Proctor was taken to the city prison where later his identity was discovered. Former Sheritf D. D. Shuttle and Capt. J. T. Gostic visit- ed himand there was mutual recog- nition, although they bad not seen him for 20 years. Proctor’s principal crimes are: Breaking into the county treasury at Shelby, breaking into a barroom used as asleeping room, and it is be- lieved that he is the man who broke into the Asheville Hardware Com- pany’s store two weeks ago and stole sixty revolvers. Later investigations show that Proctor is certainly the man who broke open a safe in the office of the Carolina Ceutral Railroad at Shelby several years ago. He has twice es- caped from the $tate penitentiary and has six years to serve on a bur- glary sentence. >< <a Railroad Wiped Oat by Flood. Raleigh News and Observer, roth. The May floodsin this State liter- ally washed away one railroad and the president of it writes the Corpo- ration Commission that he doesn’t kuow wken he'll ever be able to be- gin operations ayain. The road was a new one, about fifteen miles long, and the route lay along the Nolachucky river from the Tennessee line to Bakersville, N.C. It was intended to bea part of the new road that is to be built from Marion, N. C., to Tennessee, by way of Bakersville. But from information now before the Corpo- ration Commission, it seems that the flood in the Nolachucky left only the right of way and an occasional span of track to indicate that any road had ever ornamented its banks. This road, however, will be at once replaced and the Bakersville-Marion link built, connecting the South Carolina and Georgia Extension Railroad at Marion and the Ohio River and Charleston Railroad at the Tennessee line. These two roads are said to be under practically the same management and this link {avout fifty miles in length) will give them a system that will forma valuable property, running from Camden, S.C., where it connects with the Seaboard, to Johnson City, Tenn., where it connects with the Southern. Work will begin on the Marion- Bakersville link at once, and all.the convicts that can be obtained from the penitentiary, upto 600, will be employed. g The road, when completed, will open up one of the most valuable mineral and timber sections of the State, and will provide a uew and direct route east for the coal and iron of Tennessee and West Virginia. This has long been a cherished project of both the Seaboard and the Southern, and the great secrecy that is being maintained in regard to the new road has led many to be- lieve that the work is backed by one or the other of these systems. The most general impression,is that it is the Southern. —=- oe -oe A Confederate Negro. Raleigh Neweaud Observer. | “‘T had an unusual application for ‘a pension the other day,” said Mr. la. B.

When he left he took nearly all his wife’s money and a portion of her jewelry.

Halfan hour after the vuilding was leveled, fire broke,out in the great heap of de- oris and caused considerable dam- age before it was extinguished. The building was constructed in 1858 and had long been regarded as un- safe.

The best thing Governor Aycock has done since his inauguration is the adoption of a rule requiring no- tices of a1! applications for pardon to be published in a newspaper or to be posted at the court house door for two weeks in the county in which the applicant resided and at tbe nearest postoftice of the scene of the crime. ‘This rule will require pub- heity in every case that comes be- fore the Governor for pardon, and will give opportunity to any_and all parties to be heard upon any pend- ing application for pardon. If there is any reason why the pardon should not be granted, the neighbors will be adyised of the application and can make kaowa the reason to the Governor. Ex parte pardons are necessarily often improperly granted: The usual rule heretofore has been for the friends of the applicant to quiet- ly get a petition and letters from the judgg, solicitor, jurors and oth- er parties. Armed with this en dorsement of the application, an at- torney visits Raleigh and urges the Governor to grant the pardon. The Governor has nothing before him except the prison record and tke petitions and argument of the attor- ney for the petitioner, and after he has granted the pardon he may fiad that the people of the county know little or nothing about it and that if they had known of the application, good reasun against the executive clemency would have been present- ed. Hereafter they will have notice of the application and the Governor will have the benefit of the views of the advocates and opponents in ev ery case in which there is division of sentiment With reference to the pardon. The granting of a pardon is the Shighest function of the sdwereign It ought seidom to be granted io rule their findings and decrees, but a pardon may properly be granted upon evidence that came to light after the trial, or because of the il! health or for some other good rea son that appeals toclemency.

There was much criticism of Governor Vance for the liberal use of the pardon power and some thought Governor Scales pardoned too little. It is not possible forall to -agree with the Governor upon every decision on an application for pardon, but all will approve the new rule he has promulgated of publicity before the pardon is granted, and the carrying out of his rule, adopted upon his in- auguration, of giving to the press , when he can no longer support him- . self?” eyery pardon granted. correct courts or juries or to over | How to Get Rural Free Mali Delivery.

The patrons are expected to meet the Departmnet half way by afford- ing the carriers every facility for the performance of their duties. by keeping the roads clear after heavy snow falls, and using their influence to maintain the condition of the roads in all weather up to the stand- ard required by the Department. Rural carriers are permitted to deliver non-mailable packages pro- vided their doing so does not inter- fere with the prompt handling of the mails which must be made the first consideration. Rural carriers are required to take with them on their trips for the ac- commodation of their patrons a suf- ficient supply of stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards. Post- mastersmay, if they choose, giye credit to thecarrier for stamp sup- plies to the extent of $5. to be ac- counted for each day, aud the car- rier’s bond being responsible there- for. If the carriers find an uastamp- ed letter in acollection box, and the requistie amount of money also deposited, they are instructed to af- fix the necessary stamp.

Atlanta Constitution. The governor of- Mississippi can- not be too prompt in pursuing the persons guilty of iynching two Ital- ians in that State. This is a case of international character and can on- ly be met by unusual promptness. Some years ago there was a case similar to the present one in Louts- iana. Notwithstanding its interna- tional character, the governor of that State dilly-dallied and placed himself behind the shield of state rights, and the plea that tne courts were jogging along with their cus- tomary ease. I[f the Italian govern- ment had been strong enough we would have been embroiled in seri- ous complications, but fortunately for us that government was able to do little beyond making persistent appeals for justice. A repetition of such delay when the general govern- ment is held responsible to the one offended will but hasten an interfer- ence in State concerns, leading per- ‘haps much further. It is for this reason that State governments should find some means of expedit- jing process when the victims are | subjects of foreign governments. | Inthis way they could aid the gen- }eral government in giving a promot j answer after having ascertained the \truth.

At the ‘February term, 1899, of Iredell Su perior Court be was convicted of stealing $38 50 from Jim Gray, also ,colored. Both negroes lived at Mooresville. Walker was sentenced to the chain gang for four years, a little more than two of which he had served. Walker has consumption and had been in jail for some time, being brought there from the chain gang. The county commissioners, couaty attorneys and county physician all recommended his pardon, as his further detention endangered the health of other prisuners. Dr .Long, the county physician, said in his let- ter to the Governor: ‘‘This is to say that Joe Walker, colored, has tuberculosis (consumption) and is now in the county jail, brought there sick from the county chain gang. His disease is contagious, and he is, therefore, a menace to the health of the other prisoners. ”’ Se The Sase Ball Game Tuesday. The Newton and Statesville base- bali teams crossed bats on the Ath- letic Park grounds Tuesday after- noon. Newton won bya score of 2to0.

Nodamage resulted. Quiet was soon restored and they preceed- ed with Mr. C. W. Boshamer as um- pire. The work of Statesville’s battery, Rose and Spence, was good; but the work of the infielders was very “rocky.’’” Newton has a good team, much heavier than Statesville’s. Yount and Rowe beld the points for Newton, and while they did well, Statesville’s pony battery was their match at every point, Zeb Yount, Newton’s clever and Popular second baseman, got a fing- er hurt in the game, and Billie Lein- ster, of the Statesville .team, was painfully injured in the 8th. inning by a ball which he had batted strik ing and mashing one of his great toes. He had t9 retire from the game. gn Over Half a Mi-lion Increase.

The Washiagtoa Post last night telegraphed Admiral Schley that in an editorial it insisted that ne owed it to himself, as well as tohis friends, to begin proceedings against Mr. Maclay, the author of the history of the United States navy, to disprove the latter’s charges, adding: ‘Will you do this? Please wire statement. ”’ Today it received the following telegram: “Great Neck, L. I., July 23. “Editor Washington Post: I be- lieve the first step should be an in- vestigation of all matters byacourt, then acivil action afterwards. Iam preparing to take this course. “W.S. SCHLEY.” The Post, in the morning, as a re- sult of extensive inquiries based up- on the admiral’s dispatch will say in part: “Admiral Schley proposes to ask an investigation at the hands ofa naval court of inquiry aud then to sue Historian Maclay for libel. His action is the sequel to the develop- ments during the past week when the entire country has been stirred by the publication of the unexampled abuse poured out upon him in the third volumn of E. S. Maclay’s his- tory of the United States navy, in which publication Schley is said to haverunaway “‘in caitiff flight,”’ and is, in addition, denounced as a coward, a cur and a traitor. The Schley court of inquiry will undoubtedly be one of the most cele- brated cases in the naval or military history of the country. The high rank of the officers involved in the controversy and the intense public feeling which has been aroused will combine to give to the izvestigation adramatic ivterest. Nothing has occurred in Washingten for many years that will compare with it. The appointment of the court of inqury is expected to be made by Secretary Long, though it could be in the power of the President to make the seiec- tions if he chose. Thisis hardly likely to occur, however.jAdmiral Schley’s letterasking for the appointment of the court will be addressed to Secre- tary Long, who is his immediate chief. To address the communica- tion to the President, ignoring Sec- retary Long, would not only bea breach of naval eiiquette, but would de totally at variance with Schley’s careful observance of jpunctilious procedure. The court, therefore, will benamed by Secretary Long, unless he shall prefer to refer the matter to the President. Mr. Long has already stated that if Admiral Schley requested 3 court of inquiry he would grant the request, and has also expressed his willingness to personally select the court.”’ SCHLEY ASKS SECRETARY LONG POINT THE COURT. New York, July 23.—The Herald willsay tomorrow: ‘‘Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley has asked Secretary Long to appoint acourt of inquiry to determine the facts in regard to his course in the Saatiago campaign. While Rear Admiral Schley will not discuss his deter- | mination, or even admit that he has asked foran inquiry, since he could | not do so without a breach of naval | etiquette, Tae Herald is neverthe- | less in the position to announce that | the application has been made.”’ TO AP- GENERAL NEWS.

Chicago Dispatch, 23rd The advent at melrose Park to- morrow of 500 negro workingmen, 25 women 2nd three preachers. im- ported fru-n Mobile, Ala., by the Latrobe Steel and Coupler Works, is awaited with interest by the res- idents of that suburb and tke 600 workmen now employed in the plant. Threats of the workmen to strike forhigher wages are believed by many to hzve been the cause of the importation. This is denied by the officials of the cempany. They say that the only reason the negroes are brought here is that it has been im- possible to secure sufficient white help to do the work demanded from the Latrobe Company by the United States Steel Corporation. To the workmen still in the factory this reason is significant. All afternoon a parallel was drawn between the pending state of affairs in Melrose Park and the rumors of the importation of colored men to the Penns+)vania works of the Steel Corporation. “They are going to try iton the ‘dog out here first,’’ was the retuark made by one of the workmen. For the accommodation of the new workmen long wooden sheds have been erected in the La- trobe Comyany’s vards. There, it issaid, the men will sleep and be protected should there be any up rising against them. Ap impromptu mass meetiug was held tonigt! in front of the village hall. Residents of Haywood,: Mel- rose Purk and Bellwood gathered until full 3,000 persons were in at- tendance to protest against the im- portations While nodirect threats were made it was freely prophesied that troub!2 would follow the arri- valof the imported laborers.

In yesterday S Richmond Dispatch, Mr. J. H.

About attended his trial. the procession and was almost un- noticed as he took his seat near Lord Halsbury. ! Ymmediately beneath the dias sat the . judges in their georgeous robes, surrounded by 2 phalanx of lesser legal Juminaries. On either side of the judges were ranged five benehes filled with peers. whose rank was distinguished by the vary- ing number of rows of erine and gold Jace on their scarlet mantles. The benches reserved for peeres- ses were amply filled, while the space allotted to distinguished strangers was crowded with diplo mats and their families, including United States Ambassador Choate. Mollie Cooke, otherwise Mrs. Somerville, Earl- Russell’s present wife, entered the hall by ticket and sat facing the benches oecupied by members of the House of Commons. Among the witnesses who eutered the hall was Judge Koelher, of Ne- vada, who took a seat beside the clergymaa who married Earl Rus- sell to Mabel Scott, his first wife. The court was formally opened by aseries of quaint eeremonies and the exchange of stately phrase pre- ascribed in the ancient legal proceed ure. Beside Lord Halsbury, in his earl’s robes and a full-buttoned wig, stood General Sir Nichael Biddulph, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, and William Henry Weldon, Esquire, the Norroy King of Arms, in a re- splendent tunic. “Oar sovereign Lord and King,” shouted the Norrey Kivg of Arms, “charges asd commands all manner of persons to keep silenceon pain of imprisoument.”’ After further formalities Earl Russell was conducted to the bar. Be was dressed ina gray suit and woreared tie. Aclerk of Parlia- ment cried loudly:”’ “John Francis Stanly, Earl Rus sell, come forth surrender to ail or forfeit recognizances.”’ Black Rod, bedecked with medals and in uniform, approached the bar, which was raised asthe Earl drew near, and surrendered Earl Russell. Then the indictment was read by the clerk. His counsel objected to the indict- ment, on the groand that the allegad offense was committed outside of the dominions of His Majesty, King Bd- ward. After the reply of the prosecutioa to the argument of counsel for the defense, Harl Russell, in a voiee scarcely audible, pleaded guilty. His counsel then addressed the House in mitigation, pleading that the accused had acted upon the best legal advice obtainable in Nevada, that the offense was merely techuic- al, and that no harm had been done Mabel Cooke. Lord Russeli then addressed the House ip the samestrain, saying the. decree obtained in the United Mates gave social sanction to she sew mar- riage, Jarl Russeil said he propas- ed te remarry Mollie Cooke as early as possible.

The peers retired to consider, their High Steward announced that King Kdward had a right to legislate for his subjects all over the world. Lord Halsbury said while the crime would not be passed over, there were sev- eval mitigating circumstances. ——— eee Yacht Wrecked and Five Drowned. New Haven, Conn., Dispatch, roth.

The facts have been communicated to the Foreign Office at Rome and the Ital- jan embassy here has made repre sentations to the State Department. At the same time the Italian author- ities are pursuading an investiga- tion of their own through their con sul at New Orleans and their con- sular agent at Vicksburg Miss., which is not far from the scene of the alleged trouble. Thus far the reports received from these officials establish two es- sential points and is considered a rather serious condition of affairs. First, it reports positively that the Italians were killed by lysching and not through avy accident or chaace affray. Second, the Italian author- ities nearest to the scene of the trou- ble have established to their satis- faetion that the persons killed are Italian subjects in the full sense, not jhaving taken out pat uralization pa- pers. Thus far the case is in a state of inquiry, both on the part of the State Dapartment and tke Italian guthorities, bat there is every indi- cation that the facts will constitute an international incident, similar to that with Italy growing out of the killing of the Italians in Louisiana. The first report of the trouble at Erwin came ina brief press dispatch four or five days ago. At that time the Italian embassy knew nothing of the affair. Che next day an un official dispateh cast doudt upon the report, aud indicated that there had been no such killing. In the meaa- time, however, the Italian consular officers at New Orleans and Vicks burg made telegraphic reports aad these have been followed by several additional reports as fast as facts could be ascertained. The Italian charge d'affaires, Mr. Carignani, took prompt action in advising bis government and in laying the mat- ter before the State Department.

Irvin, of Baird, Tex., was in the city, baving in custody ed in Huntsville, this state, charged with the murder of a prominent citizen of Baird three years ago.

Stokes is very reticent about the affair and claims that he is not the man wanted. He says that donning of female attire was from choice, as he better succeeded in getting em- ployment as a female teacher. He had besome quite popularamong the people of Huntsville, who are loath to believe that he is not the woman he had represented himself to be. He was taken to Texas today. De- tective Irvin isquite positive that he has the right man. _ >> | World’s Racing Record Broken, d Detroit, Mich., Dispatch, 19th, Cresceus, the chestnut stallion, ownedand ridden by George H.

Young Wav J. Bryan Frightens Sum- mer Boarders. Boston Special to Philadelphia Record. William Jennings Bryan, Jr. who since he arrived here a faw days ago with his mother and sisters has been astonisbing the summer residents of the North Shore by his feats ix climbing ehimneys, telegraph poles and trees, today found a kindred spirit at Magnolia in Master Alden Washburn, son of the- president of the Bryan Club,and for a time it looked as if there might be funerals in beth families Socn after arriving at Manolia, Willie, with Master Washburn, made adash for the observatory, vear the top of the hill. This structure is 80 feet high. Disdaining the circular stairway they made a straight cut up the standards, and then dared each other to go band-over hand to ‘the end of the flagstaff‘on the plat- form, 70 feet above the water. Mr. Washburn caught them as they were just starting to climb the pole. Willie says he is going to be a sailor. “Then you don’t want to be Pres ident!”’ said a by stander. ‘Naw; there ain’t no fun being President.’’ said Master Bryan.

One nighi last week & mun | was in Mr. L, H. Youny’s residence. He cut through the shutter and raised the sash-and got on the inside, closed the shuttzrand put the sash down. He was discovered betore any damage way done. but made his escape throu_sh the back door. Last Monday night an attempt was made to drug the family which'came near being successful. Before the family retired the odor of the drug became very strong in the house and the family telephoned for Dr. Denning and Mr. R. B. L. Skinner, who went down to investigate the mater. They found on their arrival that some peculiar drug that produced sleep and weakness had been placed in the rooms, but were unable to tell just whatit was, however the effect was in evidence. It is not known how the thief managed to get the drug in the house. Later.—Last night several par- ties armed themselves and went down to Mr. Young’s residence to capture whoever might come. About 11:30 o'clock some one appeared at the window and the parties rushed on them firiug several shots but without effect. The parties ran off and soon Mr. J. J. Wilson arrived with his bloodhounds and witbout difficulty they struck the track and ran across a negroman and woman in Pope’s field, who were arrested and placed in the guard house. No bearing bas been viven and we are unable tosay what evidence willbe produced. A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie E.
