He was, ifour memory is not at fault, a Primitive Baptist preacher and a violent opponent of prohibi- tion. During a speech in a probibi- tion campaign he held aloft. a Bible, and said: ‘‘Fellow-citizens—within the lids of this blessed book we fre- quently find accounts of men calling for wise, but there is mention of only one man who called for water and he was inh—l, where he ought to be.”’ * * * Dr. D. B. McNeill, representative ip the Leyvislature from Bruuswick county, died last Thursday. He had three times represented his county —in ’85, 99 and 1901. He occupied his seat during the recent session only for a few weeks, when his fatal illness seized him. He is the first member of the General Assembly of 1901 to die. Dr. McNeill was Democrat, although he opposed the coastitutioral amendment and was elected asanindependent. Akindly but peculiar man, he was neverthe- less very popular ia his county. * * * The truest Democrats are never liked by Republicans, but whenever Democrats or Democratic papers get out of line with their party Re- pudlicans andRepublican papers be- gin to praise them. The self-styled “conservatives” of North Carolina are just now inhigh favor with the Republican press of the State. Some Republican papers openly boast that it will be only a very short time un- til this element of the Democrats joins their party, and the constant talk of independence in politics and eternal criticism of Democratic poli- ciesand leaders in which the self- styled ‘‘conservatives’’ indulge lead to the belief that there is some foun- dation for the Republican claim, for the way to the Republican party is a short one to the Democrat who con- stantly preaches independentism and whines at every thing done by his party. Look back over your experience, gentle reader, and deny this, if you can. ee ALovely Pair to Draw To.

Fire today destroyed five buildings and burned out six business houses with an aggregate loss of $67,500, insurance, $44,000. It started in the paint and oil department of the Dan Valley Hardware Company, at 3:30 p. m., and cleared out the en- tire corner bounded by that firm, whose stores on Main and. Unior streets join at the rear. The fire departments at Greensboro and Lyncbburg were called, but were not needed. Thick black smoke, lying like a palion the streets and in all the buildings made the de- partment’s work very difficult, but the firemen did excellent work.

Vance Pearson. an employe of the Laura Glenn cotton mills, was killed at seven o'clock this evening. He was workingin the race cleaning ; | out the water wheel when some one turnedon the water which hurled him against the wheel, causing , death instantly. The turning on of the water ona man under a wheel while at work seems tohave been a culpable piece of negligence. It is thought an operator of the electric light works did this.

Mecklenburg county’s average tax value of land is eight dollars and seventy cents, or one hundred per cent. greater than the average for the State, This enhanc- ed valuation is due to Mecklenburg’s good roads wore than to any other one cause. .

The smart women of Boston have taken to riding astride and the cus tom is causing no end of discussion. But it is by no means a new thing iu this part of the country. Not only is the custom practiced in the gay set at Aikenand Asheville, but some conservative and very sensible wo- men of Charleston have followed it for several years past at their summer homes in the mountains of North Carolina.

While you cannot help me and while T realize that all efforts to secure to mea commutation of my sentence have signally failed, I wish to do this much ia the interest of these innocent men, who, so faras I know, never committed a crime in their lives.

Hot words passed between the two, and the trageGy fullowed as related. A shot gun was the weapon used.

Raleigh News and Observer, 26th, The State Tax Commission, com- posed of the members of the Corpo- ration Commission, is now prepar- ing a pamphlet of instructions to the tax-listers of the State touching the performance of their duty. The Commission has been at work on these instructions for several days, but they are not yet completed. Under the new Machinery Act, section 6,it is provided thkt the Board of State Zax Commissioners shall have and exercise general su- pervision over the tax listersand as- sessing officers of this State, and take such measures as will secure the enforcement of the provisions of this act, “‘to the end that the prop- erties of this State liable to assess- ment for taxation shall be placed upon theassessment rolls and &s- sessed at their actual cash value.”’ This is the principai daty pre- scribed for the Commission, in fact its reason for being; and section 17 tells how this purpose of the law shall be carried out and the endaim- ed at attained. It is as follows: “Tt shall be the duty of the Tax Commissioners at least thirty days previous to the date fixed for listing taxes to prepare a pamphlet for the instruction of tax assessors. Said pamphlet shall. in as plain terms as possible, explain the proper working of the tax laws of the State, and shall cai] particular attention toany points in the administration of the laws which have seemed to be over- iooked or neglected. They shall ad- vise the assessors of the pradtical working of the laws, and explain any points which seem to be intricate and upon which assessors may differ particvlarly calling their attention to the requirement that all pronerty shall be assessed at its fair market value, and the penalties upon asses- sors for failure to observe ,this pro- vision. Copies? of _ said pamphlet shall be sent to the register of deeds of each county, whose duty it shall be to see that each assessor and tax- lister is furnished with a copy.” But the commissioners are not to stop with preparing and sending out this:pamph!et. They must visit every county in the State and this they will try to do between May Ist and June Ist. To do this, they will divide out the counties of the State, and beginning on May Ist each commissioner will visit one county-seat a day, if pos- sible, notice having first been given the tax-listers of the meeting. That thismay be done, the names of all the tax-listers in the State, by counties, has been obtained and is now on file. A regular schedule of these tax lister’s meetings will be made out this week before the com- missioners start upon their tour of the counties. Itis not yet known in just what counties they will start, or what counties will be apportioned to the Cifferent members of theCommission. —= GENERAL NEWS.

Richards alternate to either, and Elders H. C. Summers and J. J. Long. The aldermen of Greensboro have passed a law making ita misdemean- or, punishable by a fine of $5, to loiter around the church doors after services on Sundays, It is rather a rough wey to teach young men po- _liteness; but to glance at the lines of men and boys that stare at the ladies as they pass out of the churches here on Sundays,one would think that there were young gentle- | men in Statesyille whom the Greens- boro law would rob of their surplus cash. It should not be so. ——~» PERSONALS Maj R. R Cowlesarrived at home ‘yesterday. ; Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Overcash visit- | €d friends in Concord last week.

Deaton, of Mooresville, who was here yester- day, we leara that there will bea contest for the mayoralty of Moores- ville. Mr.John F. Davis, a Popu- list, is an independent candidate agsiust Mayor Voils, the Democratic nominee. There wre some Democrats in the independent movement, and a mixed ticket for commissioners and other officers will be put out. The Leygisla*ure authorized . the town authorities to order an election for bonds for electric lights, and water works and other improve- ments. As we uaderstand it, there is no intention to hold the election in the near future, but those opposed to the present town government al- lege that an election will be ordered for water worksif the Democratic tickets elected, and this is the issue in the municipal election. The Dem- ocratic ticket, printed in another ¢ lumn, will doubtless be elected. ee The sub committee oa text books has completed its work and made its report to the State Board of Educa- tion, which has the final adoption of the books. It is said the sub-com- mittee made a great many cbanges in the books recommended, but just what they areis not known as the report is secret.

In searching for some old records in the register of deeds’ cffice last week, Dr. L. Harrill came across a copy of the original deed to the land on which Statesville is situated. It is as follows: “Deed from Fergus S!van to John Nesbit, George Davidson, Jeremiah Nelson, Joseph Sharpe & Chris’r Huston [probabiy meant for Hous ton], commissioners appointed by act of General Assembly bearing date of November, 1789, for layiug out 2 town in said county [Iredell] by. the name of Statesville. “Consideration,: thirty pounds lawful money, conveying 68} acres more or less, and being a part of the land be now lives on and being in said county, as may more fully ap- pear from his deed for the same bearing date November 24th, 1753, being the original deed to John Oli- phant, and conveyed by said Oli- phant tothe said Sloan by deed dated March 15, 1755. ‘*‘Boundary. “Beginning at a black oak sapling on the northeast corner of Fourth Creek yvraveyard, running thence south 110 poles to a stake; thence east 100 poles to a post oak; thence north 110 poles to a post cak;thence to the bezinningy.

The meeting house spring used by old Fourth Creek church was quitea bold spring near where Young's blacksmith shop now stands. It issaid there were then two other springs near the present square, one about where the Ramsey tobacco factory stands and the other where Wallace Bros.’ root and herb store is. Sai aan Those Who Want the City Offices. There is no opposition to the Democratic candidates for mayor and aldermen, and there will doubt- less be none.

One of the bloodiest tragedies in the history of Portland in recent years,occurred this afteracormon the fourth ficor of the building occupied by the New England Telephone Com- pany. The principal actor in the affair was George H. Brainerd, a foremanelectrician who had been employed by the company almost 20 vears. For some unknown reason without the slightest proyocation. while chatting with his fellow-work- men, he whipped outa 38 calibre re- volver and opened fire on the party around him. He was evidently an expert marksman, for in a brief space of time he xilled one man out- right, fatally wounded another man and probably fatally wounded two others. Then he made an attempt to kill Marshal Pritch, when the officer tried toarresthim. The man who was killed outright was I. i H. Farnham, of Boston, the electricicil engineers of the New England Tele phone Company. Earl Buxson an- other victim, died in the hospital to- night. Elmer Zane and James Wads- worth. of Lewiston, are believed to be fatally injured. The only motive that can be as signed for the-crime is insanity, yet neither before nor since the tragedy did Brainerd exhibit any marked ev- idence of mental derangement. The men in the tragedy were employes of the telephone company and ex- cepting Mr. Farnham were eagaged in installing a new exchange s;stem on theupper floor of the building. There were 14 men in the room and Brainerd had charge of the work, Mr. Farnham having general over- sight. The entire force which was attached to the general officein Bos ton had been at work for three or four months. Mr. Farnham came down from Boston last night to look over the portion completed. This morning the men went to work as usual and nothing out of the ordi- nary occurred up to noon time. Just before 2 o’clock Mr. Farnham and Mr. Brainerd walked over to one cor- ner of the room where a carpenter wasat work. Brainerd gave the carpenter a few instructions and then he and Mr. Farnham walked a- way, talking in a friendly manner. They passed down by: the long switchboard to the end, where they stopped. Then the report of a re- volver rangout. The workmen saw Mr. Farnham fall to the floor with Brainerd standing over him with a smoking revolver in his hand. Brainerd did not remain inactive for a moment after shooting Farnham, but he immediately opened fire on the other werkmen. A panic followed and every man endeavored to get under cover to es- cape the bullets which were flying in every direction. Someattempted to escape through a hole in the floor, but they were unable to squeeze themselves through and were then obliged to take a chauce at dodging bullets. Some of the men dodged behind boxes and benches until they had a chance to escape but three of them were unable to reach a place of safety. When Brainerd shct Mr. Farnobam, Lane and Wadsworth were working together directly across the room and before they could make the slightest move Brainerd turned his revolver onthem and opened fire. Wadsworth fellto the floor, while Lane, who was not hit at this time, ! made adash foracloset. Buxton was standing at a bench near the head of the stairway and Brainerd, taking deliberate aim, sent a oullet straight through his body. Buxton fell to the floor, but remained partly con- scious. He saw Brainerd come over to the head of the stairway and re- toad the revolver and then start towards the closet in which Lane nad taken shelter. Brainerd went to that closet apparently with the de- liberate intention of killing Lane and although he did not kill him in- stantly, he inflicted wounds which the physicians believe will prove fa- tal. Lane madea game fight for life, but fell twice wounded, while! Buxton ran down stairs and was eared for. Braiaerd then was alone on tne fourth floor with his three victims but he immediately started down to the operating room shout- ing, ‘Send for the police!’’ Super- intendeat J. D. Stanford at tbis point ran into the hall and met Brainerd coming down the stairs re- vo yer in hand, frantically calling for -tbhe police. Mr. Stanford knew Brainerd’s revolver was loaded but he barred the door tothe crowded operating room and demanded that the man return up stairs. ‘“‘Goback; we will fix it with the police,’’ he said. And Brainerd went back. A telephone message had brought Deputy Frith and others from the station. The deputy at the fourth floor met Brainerd who, with self- control, greeted him pleasantly, shook hands and then turned as if to goup stairs. The deputy saw the revolver in Brainerd’s hand and de- terminedtooverpowerhim. As Mr. Frith attempted to seize the weapon ‘Brainerd turned and met the attack with the revolver leveled at the dep- uty. A struggle followed and the revolver was discharged, the bullet grazing the officer’s side. Then an- other officer clubbed Brainerd into submission and he was taken to the police station. He appeared exicted an ugly and was kept hand-cuffed. His clothing was saturated with blood and he paced restlessly up and down the cell. In the meantime the surgeons had cared for the wounded. Wadsworth had bullets through the left arm and the bowels. Lane was shot in thethroat and Buxton had received a bullet through the body. ‘The men were taken to the hospital and to-night Buxton died and Lane is barely alive. The police are mak- ing inquiry to determine if Brainerd had shown signs of insanity at any previous time. Eo Horse- Whipped a Drummer. Rock Hill, S.C., Herald. D.

His wife lives on the farm while he works in Kinston. Upon investigation Mr. Robinson found that Horner had left Kinston, yoing to Selma, from there shipping bis horse aud buggy to his brother- in law here. Saturday afternoon Horner re- turned to Kinston, and was seen late Saturday evening with a woman auswering the description of Mr. Robinson's daugbter. Sunday nigbt he took a trunk from the depot kere, but it could not be learned where he went. Yesterday afternoon he wert to tisfarm. Mrs. Robinson, the moth- erof the girl, learning of his pres- ence in the neighborhood, sought and met him near her home and begged him to bring ber daugbter back. He promised that be would do so within two days, as the girl was some distance from there and it would require two days’ time to get her home. Mr. Robipson learned this morn- ing that Horner told others that he expected to be many miles from Le- noir county by tonight. : It is not known whataction will be taken. It is a distressing affair.

Special to New York World, 26th. “Two women were publicly whip- ped with cowhides in the City Hall here today. Thisis the result of a crusade inaugurated against iow women by the police and civil au- thorities. Chief of PoliceJoha W. Ames laid the twenty stripes order upon Carrie Palmer and Calvina White. They were stripped to the waist and while they both gave evi- dences of pwin neither cried at the punishmert. Women of bad repute have been promenading the streets of the town for some time and hanging about sa- loons and other rough _ resorts. Prompted by the indignation of many citizens, the police determined to rid the town of all of them. The exaimples of today were arrest- ed under the city law, fined in court, and then given the opinioa of going to prisonor being whipped. They chose the former. A curious crowd looked on with- out making any signsof approval or Giseust. When the punishment was over the women were told to leave town at oace, with the warn- ing that they would receive fitty lashes if caught about the city again. They took the first train for Green- fields. The police and the magis- [rate declare that this example will idriveall the objectionable persons jout of Suffolk. 1 ———a Bryan Nota Candidate.

Manila Dispatch, 26th. Major Noble, adjutant general of the Departfhent of the Visayas, has received the surrender of Quentin Salas and three cf his officers. Ali the insurgents under Salas will sur- render soon. It is claimed this wi! terminate the insurrection in the island of Panay. One hundred and fifteen officers and 2,172 bolomen have surrendered and sworn allegiance to the United States at Narvacan, province of South Ilocos. The Americans are active throughout the archipelayro, acceterating surrenders. The commissary investigation is progressing. Several important witnesses in the Reed case have left Manila. Harry Baldwin, Thomas Harris,, Fred Maconder and A Schindler, prominent merchants who are supposed to possess information concerning money paid to commis sary Officers, are detained as wit nesses under $2,500 bail. The trial of Capt. James C. Reed has_ beer: temporarily postponed. It is estimated that there are 25, 000 lepers in the _ Philippines and it is planned to insolate them on one island.

Thecase of Major Martin. who stole copiovs!s from the S:a‘e« Treas- ury, havius ts +6 disposed of by tbe courts, the Majur baving been duly landed in the penitentizry and ap- propriately robed in stripes, public spirited cit. zens. are now iurning tkemselves to the tas! of finding out what he did with it. ae This is a problem of adsorbiog in- terest, more perplexing than any ever imagined by novelist or dream- ed by poet; as yet no Sherlock Holmes has arisen to solve i+ ln three years time the Major at- tached himself to something like $18,000 of State funds, taken from the penitentiary appropriation. In addition to this, he seems 19 bave collected many hundreds of dollars, principally from women, anc appro- priated the same to his own use. These collections (and itis said that there were quite a number) were made on the representation that he was the duly credited ayent ofa building and loan company in Vir yinia, Now what did Martin do wita all this money? He did not speculate. If so, no evidence of the fact can be found. He did not gamble, for gambling like murder will out, no matter whether a man toses his pileor wins the other follow’s. He did not look upon the when it was red, or live in luxury. The evidence upon the trial was that his habits were most exemplary and his home-life simple to frugality. That the love of women, which Byron calls “‘alovely and a fearful thioy,’’ played an important part in his career we know from the letters wine pleading in these letters fer even small sums of money, whick appezr to have been seldom given, seem to preclude the idea that any very great part of the stolen lucre disappeared in this manner. Itis true that for some three months considerable sums went in the direction of a so called ‘‘niece,’ but it is believed that $1,000 would cover the outlay. Then she disap- peared. This was in 1897. At this point in the investigation we have completed the circuit and are back up against our original probiem: What did the Major do with it? When first confronted with his shortage he confessed that it was $3,800 and said he had given it ‘‘to charity and the church,’’ Ofcourse no one believed he had so extrava- gantly cultivated his philasthropic sentiment, and now as they learn that the wad which was whirled in- to enternal.space was not $3,800 at all, but $17,600 they know that Mar- tin did not tel! truly the useto which he had put his stealage. What then has he done with it? None knoweth whither it has winged its trackless flight, but most folks think he has ‘‘salted it down.”’ It could not, they say, have gone ihrough the chatine!s of exchange without leaving some sign ofits pas- sage. Perhaps some day we shall know, and perhaps we shall not. In the meantime oneofex-Treaurer Worinh’s attoraeys says there is strong rea- son, and some evidence, to believe that Martin had a pal, and that this vein of inquiry is being worked for all it is worth. If this theory should prove cor- rect, some things now shrouded in mystery may be cleared up. oo ie Refused tobe Queen of Spain. Exchange. The remarkable romance cf Elise Rensler, the Boston girl, who mar- ried King Ferdinand of Portugal}, is recalled by Mabel Percy Heskell, in the March Ladies’ Home Journal. At her marriage Miss Hensler was created the Countess of Edla, and with her royal husband took up her home in the beautiful Palace of Cin- tra. ‘Had she wished it the Count- ess of Edjla might have been Queen of Spain ior King Ferdinand declin- ed the crown of Spain in 1869, soon after his marriage to the beautiful American girl.

Atlanta Constitution. : Perhaps the youngest telegraph messenger boy in the country is Marion Longino, the six-year-old son of Governor Longino, of Mis- sissippi. A few weeks ago the Goveraor’s son walked into the executive office at Jackson and informed his august father that “he was tired loafing and wanted tc mske some money for himself.’’ The governor, to humor him, told bim to go ahead and get 2 job if be could. Without another word Marion walked into the office of the Western Union telegraph office and demanded work. He was told that there was archaace for a boy, but he was too young and tco small This would have disappointed and disconcerted most six-year olds, but young Longinois made of different stuff. Hedemanded that job. He declared his purpose to have it on trial; and the upshot of the contro versy was that he got it.

Philadelphia Record. The prominent Northern men who areinterested in educational matters and who have been visiting Southern schools were particularly impressed by the conditions at the State Nor- mal and Industrial College for Young Women at Greensboro North Caro- lina. The Old North State appro- priates $40,000 a year for the sup- port of this school, and the training is as thorough as that in any nor- mal scheol in the country. Among the visitors were Bishop Doane, the Rev. Lyman Abbott and Dr. Pea body, of Harvard. At Greensboro the party visited the Avricultural and Mechanical Celleve for negroes, and later attended the Conference for Education intheSouth. Theen- thusiasm with which the people of the Southern States have entered in- to educational matters surprised the Northern men, especially in view of the fact that no men of wealth have donated millions to Southern white schools, as they have toinstitations in the North. —— —<—& « A New Use for Cotton.

Abovt 1,600,000 pounés of jute, it is stated, are annually used for the postal service, and the change would call for the useofaa equal amount of cotton.

SGROFULA AND ITS AWFUL HORRORS Johnston’s Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES.- A MOST WONDERFUL CURE. A Grand Old Lady Gives Her Experience. Mrs. Thankful Orilla Hurd lives in the beautiful Livingston Co., Mich. This venerable and highly Reape teeeaeen oon ' the year 1812, the year of the great war, in Hebron, Washington Co., New! York. She came to Michigan in 1840, the year of “Tippecanoe and "Tyles too.” All her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very re tentive memory, her mind is full of interesting reminiscences of her early life, of the early days of the State of Michigan and the interesting and re markable people she has met, and the stirring events of which she was a wit ness. But nothing in her varied and manifold recollections are more mar yelous and worthy of attention than are her experiences in the use of JOHNSTON S SARSAPARILLA. Mrs. Hurd inherited a tendency and pre disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood taint which has cursed and is cursing the lives of thousands and marking thousands more as vic tims of the death angel. Transmitted from generation to generation, It is found in neary every famfly m one form er another. It may make its ap pearance in dreadful running sores, in unsigbtly swellings in the neck or Sees an Shy a ee Attacking the mucous membrane, it OWD as catarr e head, 1 and oe a the prime cause of meee ae peaking of her case, Mrs. Hurd says: “I was trou | with a bad skin disease. My arms ang limts would eeneteni eestor anes discharging yellow matter. My neck,bezan to swell and became very = ghtly in appearance. My body was covered with scrofulous eruptions.. a = enc also greatly inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very we . My ace was in a very bad condition and my head ached severely at frequent intervals, and I had no appetite. I had sores also in my ears. I was in a miserable condition, I had tried every remedy that had been recom- meee and doctor after doctor had failed. One of-the best physicians in = ie oo me I must dle of scrofulous consumption, as internal abcesses Sc ginning to form. I at length was told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and a amous Sarsaparilla.

I took a great pany ottles. But I steadily improveg until I became entirely well. All the s healed up, all the bad symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health. and I have never been troubled with scrofula since. Of course an old lady of 88 years is not a young woman, but I have had remarkably good health since then, and I firmly believe that JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA is the erates peo purifier and the best medicine in the wide world, doth for Ben = ame as a spring medicine.” This remarkably interesting old lady did = ok to be more than sixty, and she repeated several times, “I believe my e was saved by JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA.” : MICHIGAN DRUG COMPANY, DETROLT, arrcH. tele by Stimson & anderson and Trylorsville Drug Co ‘ a meypring 3s Here and how about that new Spring Suit.

Jacksonville, Fla., Dispatch, 3rd. At 12:45 today Jacksonville ex perienced the most disastrous fire of her existence. The entire length of Beaver street from Davis. street to the creek on Liberty street, has been totally destroyed. This is 14 solid biceks of residences. For the same [distance Ashley and Church streets bave both been blotted out. When the fire reached Bridge street in its eastward course it enveloped ir flames three blocks, Duval, Monroe and the north side of Adams, burn- ing up that entire section of the city, and running 14 blocks tothe Duval street bridge. How much further in that direction the city is burned it is impossible to learn,-the street being impassable, but it is feared that St. Luke’s Hospital was burned, a report reaching the city that- the Presbyterian church in East Jacksonvilleis ablaze. If this ‘is correct, the fire must bave extend- ed five blocks further east. The conflagration has burned as far as is definitely known over a distance of two and one-half miles, by a half- mile wide. When the fire reached Julia street it was a roaring furnace without any prospect of being put under control. MILITARY KEEP BACK CROWDS. The local military companies were called out to keep back the crowds, and the tire department began to use dynamite to blow up the houses a block from the fire and thus prevent the fire from spreading. So fierce was the blaze, however, and so strong had become the wind that millions of sparks and flying, burn- ing shingles spread over five or six blocks, setting the roofs of the hous- es on fire in advance of the depart- ment. Soon Senator Taliaferro’s residence, then the adjoinizg houses on that block, were ablaze and in spite of allefforts to save the Wind sor and the St. James Hotels both buildings were quickly enveloped in flames. For about an hour the guests in the Windsor had been busily packing their trunks and went away loaded with trunks and grips, some, unfortunately, to the United States Hotel, but most to Riverside. BURNING OF THE ELKS’ HOME. Leaping madly across the street from the Windsor the fire attacked the Seilis House and then the Meth- odist parsonage, and in a few mo ments Trinity Methodist church was a mass of flames’ The opera houses olock followed,.and the Richards and Livingstone boarding houses. A desperate effort was made to save the Baldwin mansion, which was re- cently purchased by the Elks for $18,000. No earthly power could save this building, and that entire block and theone west was quickly a mass of flames. Once thefire got started on Main street, the closely adjoining buildings went one after another Paints with barrels of oil were plentiful in this district, and as they caught on fire one after the other the blaze rose hundreds of feet high and quickly set the other buil- dings across the street on fire. DYNAMITE AND POWDER EXPLODE. Then the Hubbard Hardware Store caught, and the people scattered when they saw what had happened. Hundreds of pounds of powder anda great deal of dynamite was stored in this building. Ten minutes passed when suddenly there-was a roar and the buildingcollapsed like an egy shell. The dynamite and powder bad exploaed. Here again there was much danger to the firemen. Cart ridges began to explode and bullets began to fly around, and theeffort to Gyzht the fire at this point had for a time to be abandoned. This was on- ly the start of the most intense part of the fire. The new Furchgott building was soon ablaze, and then quickiy the Gardiner building was alsoa mass of flames. Down the street the fire spread with rapidity and the entire section of Bay street from Market to Main street, and ex- tending for five blocks back, was bugning all at once. MAGNIFICENT BUILDINGS WIPED OUT. The city building went, the fire de- Ppartment building. thearmory, the county court house, the clerk’s of- fice, with the county records, the Criminal Court house, the city jail and the graded schools and the Cath- olic church and orphanage,St. John’s Episcopal church and the convent. The entire city of magnificent build- ings all burned up in less than four hours. The scene was one that beggars description. At 8:30 the of Lauraand Bay streets, where the Commercial Bank, which went up in flames, was located, the Western Union Telegaph office being just a- cross the street and not damaged. THREE HOTELS GONE. Among the prominent hotels burn- ed were the St. James, the. United States. the Placide and the Windsor. It is impossible at this hour to as- certain the losses, but it is said by insurance agents that it will be be- tween $8,000,000 and $9,000,000, Six lives are reported lost in the con- flagration. The mayor has called a meeting of the city council for to- morrow to consider ways and means for relieving the sufferers. SOME OF THE LOSSES. A partial list of estimated losses up to 1;30 o’clock this (Saturday) morning, are as follows:- Cleveland Manufacturing Company $25,000; First National Bank $15,000; Hub- -ibard blocks $50.000, Commercial Bank $50,000; Industrial, Savings and Trust Company $5,000; Windsor Hotel and annex $35,000; St. James Hotel $40,009; Hotel Placide $15,000; Mohawk block $50,000; (tradner building $200,000; Kohn Furchgott $25,000; Seminole Club $15,000; Elks Club $35,000; opera house $10 000; Herkimer block $25,000; Palmetto block $20,000; H. & W.

W Owens’ resi- dence $8,000. MR. CLEVELAND DROPS DEAD—NEGRO GOES CRAZY. Mr. W. W. Cleveland. in whose premises the fire originated and who was one-of the heaviest losers, drop- ped dead from excitement. A Stal- wart neyro, brinogivg a trunk on his head from’a burning building, went crazy from the horror of the situa tion. Herav around in a circle with the trunk on his bead until he sank exhausted and died. Women ran through the streets tearing their hair and clothes, and in several ina- stances had almost denuded them- selves when they were caugbt by friends and led to places of safety. Horses bitched te trunks could not be cut loose quickly enough and many of them ran wild through the demoralized throng. At night the military was ordered out to guard the household goods piled high in vacant lots. 130 BLOCKS BURNED. The fire began yesterday shortly after noon in a small factory, froma defective wire, according to the best belief. It burned -for nearly ten hours. In that timea property damage estimated from $10,000.000 to $15,060,000 was effected. Accord- ing to the city map, 130 blocks were burned, many oi them in the heart of the business and residence sec- tion. The estimate of houses to the block is ten, therefore 1,300 of them went up in smoke. Many of the finest public and private, were burn- ed. The casualties were several, among them was that of the fire chief, who sustained a bad fall. The mayor ordered all of the ‘saloons closed, and has impressed help to clear the wreckage. A SCENE OF DESOLATION. At la. m. thesituation is one ap- proaching desolation ina large sec- tion of the city. The burned dis trict reaches from Burbridge street, on the north, to St. John’s river, on the south, a distance of quite two miles. The width of the desolated area is 13 blocks. Within this space practically eyeryting is blackened ruins. On Bay street, the princi- pal centre of trade, the Western Union Telegraph building is the first going west. Everything east of Laura, on Bay street, is gone. At 10:15 p. m , the fire was under con- trol, having practically burned it- self out. The suburban settlements with the exception of La Villa. are intact. La Villa was badly hurt. The extent of the damage cannot be told until tomorrow. Thousands of persons are on the streets, tonight, homeless, with practically all of their worldly possessions upon their backs. The depots of the raiiroads, situated in the southeastern sectiqn, have been turned into temporary lodging houses and hospitals. Luck ily the weather is fine, so that there will be no suffering on that score. Meetings of the city council, the commercial bodies and the charita- ble institutions will he called Satur- day morning to devise ways and means for meeting the situation. It is not known yet whether an appeal for help will be issued though it is thought likely that the exigencies of the occasion will demand such action. It is hoped that an apveal will be avoided. Mayor Bowden this morn- ing says the property loss will ex- ceed $15,000,000. Ten thousand to 15,000 people are homeless. : pain Building at Stony Point.

The new superintendent of the penitentiary, Julian S. Manon, of Hyde county, is the right man in the riybt place. He was a member of thelast Legislature and also a member of the penitentiary board. He isa large farmer and a success- fy] business man, and he will make the institution pay itsown way if that can be done. While we would have been glad to see a western man elected to this office, no mistake was made when Jule Mann was selected. Governor Aycock has appointed J. Gordon Hackett, of Wilkes county, to the vacancy on the board caused by the resignation of Superinten- dent Mann, and thisis also a good appointment. Mr. Hackett is a good farmer and a successful young business man. The board is now composed of threeeastern and two wes tern Democrats: ro Gen. Wade Hampton Cannot be Bought, - Raleigh News and,Observer. Senator McLaurin, who is dis- tributingFederal patronage in South Carolina, is proceeding upon the theory that anybody will take an of- fice from this administration. Of course, acceptance of a paying office in South Carolina means that the recipientwill either actively work for MeLaurin or will fight the regular Democracy. Wade Hampton, the intrepid cav- alry leader,althrough out of politics, having no sympathy with either Tillman or McLaurin,. is the last public man to be offered a job under McKinley through McLaurin. A special friendof McLaurin went as ambassador to General Hampton to offer him the position of postmaster at Columbia. It was declined, and here is what General Hampton said: “The people of South Carolina sbould know by this time that I cannot be bought.”’ Contrast this with the little fel- lows who are hungry for the crumbs that fall from McKinley’s table, and after getting the crumbs, ‘pay for them by such repudiation of their past professions as to disgust honest men every where. —_— ——_ oe Coupled With a Slander. Raleigh News and Observer. The Charlotte Observer has a quarter of a column ‘“‘special’’ from Washington containing an interview with Gen.

The prospect for reconstruction is very hopeful. To acertain extent it is almost an absolute certainty. “¥ think Sonthern people would be quite right ia juining the Repub- lican party, for there is no doubt that the furtherance ot the protec- tive part of the organization is of great benefit tothe South. I donot wish to be understood, however, that I am in favor of the adoption of any measure or measures designed to sacrifice the rights of the colored voters. Jadvocate equal rights and denounce murderand fraud at the polls, and I know that men like Sen- ator McLaurin take an equally firm and unequivocal position on this question.” This is equivalent to charging the Democratic party in the South as now constituted with favoring‘‘mur- der and fraud at the polls.’’ which is aslanderthat any mano born in the South ought to be ashamed to utter. Gen. Hawley couples his en- dorsement of McLaurin with a slan- der of the South. ‘The prospect for reconstruction,”’ says Senator Hawley, “is very good.”’ That is what Hawley and the rest of his crowd want—another reign of Reconstruction and that is what will follow as the night follows day whenever the Democratic party loses its control in the South. Gen. Hawley repudiates the re- striction of negro suffrage by South Carolina and North Carolina, and would destroy both these amend- ments. and yet he expects Southern men who voted for them to help in a second “‘Reconstruction.’’ Will they doit?

President Venable, of the Uniyer- sity, came near being killed, recent- ly at University Station, the spot at which young Ben Long, of States- ville, was murdered last year. A short time ago the arm and leg of a negro were cut off there. There was a wretched miscarriage ofjustice in the result of the suit for damages in the case of young Long, but if the situ- ation at that place is not improved, & crime so much more flagrant than even thatagainst him, his family and society, will yet be committed there that no courtor jury can fail to take knowledge of it and-inflict heavy damages. This place is the portal of the University and is, by all accounts, a very death trap. Whena few other persons arecaught in it as young Ben Long was, the railroad company will perhaps do something toabate the danger that lurks there.

We s ple of the Democratic party that the Federal Government has no corsti-| ; tutional power to impose and collect And we demand of revenue only. of such taxes that the collection the the government when honestly administered.” : After adopting this tariff plank, forced upon Mr. Cleveland against the campaign and made tariff reform the paramount issue. The Demo- with Bryan an eloquent young tariff in the front as more important thar any other question. The Pop- ulists were trying to put the money} +545 enough to resist and over- question to the front but the Demo crats were able to prevent it, and the Democratic victory in 1892, which secured control of the govern- ment inall its branches except the judiciary, was an approval of the doctrine of low tariff eaunciated with straight-forwardness in tbe Na- tional platform. When Mr. Cleve- land was inaugurated, he was urged to call a special session of Congress to repeal the McKinley tariff law. ‘That was manifestly the duty with which be was charged. Instead oi doing this duty, he postponed it ip order to give financial legislation first place. It is not to tbe purpose to discuss the particular rock of fi nancial legislation upon which his administration went to pieces, whether good or bad. It is enough that after declaring in the campaign that tariff reform was the paramount aeed of the country, Mr. Cleveland deliberateiy put financial legislation forward as the paramount need of the country. It was a tactical blun der of the first magnitude, if nothing worse, for three-fourths of the Dem- ocratic members of Congress were committed by every honorable pledge to silver legislation when money legislation was under consideration. From the min ute Congress was convened in extra session in 1893 to repeal thepurchas- ing clayse of the Sherman act, the Democratic administration threw tariff reform aside and made legisla- tion paramount. When attempt was made to pass # tariff law in accord- ance with the party platform, the money question had already bees given leading place and there was no power then to close the discussion, and unite the party upon tariff re form. The attempt afterwards made resulted in the passage of a bill that Mr. Clevelandcalled ‘‘party perfidy and party dishonor” because it contained milder protection than Senator McLaurin sow advocates And yet, there are men who applaud McLaurin and say they stand for the old Democracy of 1892. The tariff ‘plank of 1892 was the best ever written. McLaurin repudiates it because he has espoused the Repub lican idea of protection which the 1892 platform called ‘“‘a fraud on the _labor of the great majority of the A een people for the benefit of the ew. But these papers that have come to advocate or santcion protection and ship-subsidies, tell us that the Damocratic party in the Chicagocon- vention turned its back on the Dem ocratic tariff doctrine when it rao off after free silver. Nothing is fur- ther from the truth. Every political party, every leader in every party in 1896 recognized that the money question was paramount. This wasas true of Mr. Cleveland and his school of thou@ht as wellas of Mr. Bryap and his school of thought. If the Chicago convention had simply de- clared, as it did, that ‘until the money question is settled we are op- posed to any agitation for further changes in our tariff laws, except such as are necessary to meet thé deficit in revenue caused by the ad- verse decision of the Supreme Court on the income tax”’—if it had said that and nothing more, it would not have been regarded as a repudiation of the party principles on the tariff, but as merely recognizing the issue which the people of all sections had forced to the front. But the Chica- go convention did not stop with that declaration. It went on to say: “We hold that tariff duties should be levied for purposes of revenue, such duties to be so adiusted as to operate equally throughout the coun- try, and not discriminate between class or section, and that taxation should be limited by the needs ofthe government, honestly and econom- ically administered. We denounce as disturbing to business the Repub- lican threat to restore the McKinley law which has twice been condemn- ed by the people in National elec- tions, and which, enacted under the false plea of protection to home in- dustry, proved a prolific breeder of trusts and monopolies, enriched the few at the expense of the many, re- stricted trade and deprived the pro- ducers of the great American stap- of access to their natural mark- ets.”’ At the National convention in Kansas City in 1900, the Chicago platform on the tariff was specifi- cally affirmed, and to it this plank was added: 7 “Tariff laws should be amended by putting the products of trusts upon the free list, to prevent monopoly under the plea of protection.”’ The declaration was a straight- forward, progressive and honest de- claration—the most specific and di- rect declaration to destroy the ini- quities of the tariff ever made by any political party. : The Democratic party has not at any time failed to declare the true position on the tariff—the principle that must prevail if the manufac- turers are to hase a permanent open er to impose and collect a tariff duty and high tariff speech ‘have ‘ xcept idea that oly.’ : ; see ce | Democratic doctrine, and the man pubiican party in the Bryan takes Senator Rechaur .

New York Tribune. A colonel of a British regiment 1n South Africa who was repairing @ railroad after one of Gen. DeWet’s many breakages discovered a fine empty house, which he proceeded to occupy as headquarters. When the news of the colonel’s comfortable quarters reached Bloem- fontein he received a telegram which read: “G., T. M. waats house.” The colonel was unable to make out what G. T. M. meant, and in- quired of officers. who: translated it “General Traffic Manager.” “All right,” said the colonel, ‘‘if he can use hierogly phics so can I.”’ So he wired back: “G. T. M. can G. T. H.” Iwo days later he received a dis- patch from Bloemfontein ordering him to attend a board of inquiry. On appearing ia due course he was asked what be meant by sending such an insulting message to a su- perior officer. “Tnsulting,’”’ repeated the colonel, innocently; “it was nothing of the kind.”’ “Bust what do youmean,’’ demand- ed his superior, ‘*by telling me I can G.T.

Asa result of that,iaspector found a mag- nificent emerald and diamond brace- let, 2 gentleman’s ring, two Angora shawls and three snuff boxes. Tbe Prince was not detained and is sup- possed to have gone to Washington, the destination mentioned in his declaration. “Three trunks and two valises made up ‘he Prinze’s luggage and these had been examined and passed by Inspector James Martin, and the Prince, thinking the ordeal with the inspectors at an end was in the act of taking his departure when McCort detained him and escorted him 1o the doctor’s cabin on board the Pots dam, where he was searched. If it is shown that the Priuce is merely on 2 visit to this country and had no intention of smuggling the articles, they will be returned to him, the customs men siid.”’ —_—$$—$—— + oe A Flashlight Upset things in the Chi- cago Dog Show.

He took a flashlight picture of the show where 2,000 doys are chained up,the aisles betweer the kennels being jammed with sightseers. Ten pounds of flashlight powder were used and the flash and fumes set every dog in the place frantic with excitement. They madeevery noise of which a practically insane dog is capable and many of them tugged wildiy at their chains in the attempt to get at thecrowd. Thedogs were so wild that it produced mucb ex- citement among the people and there was arush for thedoors. A number of women fainted but no person was injured The dogs continued in such an excited condition it was found necessary to close the doors for the night. —_———P> +4 ae Opening of Indian Eands in Okla- homa.

In this Mr. McLaurin goes too far. He, in away discredits his commission He puts a pitchfork in the bands of his enemy, which that enemy will hardly fail to use.

It is good to bury tbis ‘bloody shirt,”” andin its place to boist the, fair freeensign of the Re- public, the glorous stars and stripes that wave for all. But,.in doing so, let us keep our grip upon the money chest. Let us keep our eyé on the rogues. Let us never lose sight of the good rule that eternal vigilance is the price both of liberty and the public credit, and that Government was instituted to secure not a tariff originated to increase the profits of certain preferred classes, nor taxes imposed to raise funds to be distri buted by the politicians in payment of campaign obligations, but simply and solley, and before ail else, secure the greatest good to the greatest number.

A baby was unexpectedly added to the Bradley-Martio family this week. Mrs. Bradley- Martin, her daughter Lady Craven; her son in jaw, Lord Craven, and her grandchild, the 3-year-old Viscount Buffington; have been here for the past three weeks, and will remain until! the London season in June. Wednesdav the hit- tle Lord Buffington was bu-y making mud cakes in thepark, when hisaurse sent him to give some pennies toa famished-looking woman witha baby in ber arms and four others hanging to her skirts. : The 3.year-old English lord imme- diately took a great fancy to the suckling baby, b2¢ause “‘she smiled with him and chewed his finger.”’ The mother was compelled to sit on a bench so that the Viscount could admire the baby-all he wanted. When his nurse tried totske the hoy home Lord Buffington kicked, bit and rolied himself in the mud rather thao part from his new friend. “I want that baby,” he cried. Fearing the Viscount wvuld go in to convulsions his nurse asked tke pauper mother to accompan: her as faras the Elysees Palace Hotel. But there the youngster aysin made such a scene that hundreds of pass ers-by gathered. Finally Grandma Bardicy-Martin came down and immediate'y decided that Lord Buffington should have the playmate he wanted. Inquiry proved the mother to be worthy of interest. The busband and father was killed in a quarry and his numerous family left in ab- solute want. The pretty pauper is now dressed in the costliest finery and is the lit tle lord’s most precious toy She will be adopted by the Cravens and will be reared by the Vincount.

Mrs. Thankful Orilia Hurd lives in the beautiful village of Brighton Livingston Co., Mich. This venerable and highly respected lady was born is the year 1812, the year of the great war, in Hebron, Washington Co., New York. She came to Michigan in 1840, the year of “Tippecanoe and "Tyle too.” All her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very ne tentive memory, her mind is full of interesting reminiscences of her early life, of the early days of the State of Michigan and the interesting and re markable people she has met, and the stirring events of which she was a wit: ness. But nothing in her varied and manifold recollections are more mar velous and worthy of attention than are her experiences in the use of J OHNSTON S SARSAPARILLA. Mrs. Hurd inherited a tendency and pre disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood taint which bas cursed and is cursing the lives of thousands and marking thousands more as vie tims of the death angel. Transmitted from generation to generation, It is found in neary every familly m one form or another. It may make its ap pearance in dreadful running sores, in unsightly swellings in the neck or goitre, or in eruptions of varied forms.

My eyes were also greatly inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very much. My blood was in a very bad condition and my head ached severely at frequent intervals, and I had no appetite.

The Republicans wonin only two or three towns in the State in the municipal elections last week. In Kernersville they elected two negro commissioners. This is bringing negro officials home to our western peopie. When you bear talk of “‘in- deperdence in polities” from theself- siyled ‘‘conservatives,’” remember abut the Kernersville negro town commissioners elected by the Repub- licans, and abide in the old Demo- cratic ship An uvited Demccratic party is necessary to permanent white supremacy in cvery part of North Carolisa. * * * There is a hot fight going on for the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor of Virginia between Congress- man Swanson. Attorney General Montague and Mr. Echols. Con- gcessman Swanson, who represents the Danville district, has the back- ing of Senators Daniel and Martin an 1 what is known as the ‘‘machine.”’ I: looks to a man on the outside like he will win. Of fifty-nsine delegates ele-ted last week, Swanson got thir- ty-six, Montagne twelve and Echols eleven. Swanson and Montague are very able men. Echols’ record is not familiar to us. Attorney Gep- eral Montague wouldattract atten- tion in any assembly. His hair is the reddest of the red and his face is that of the strong, selfish, self-reli- autman. He is regarded as one of the ablest Virginians, but the clever Congressinan will doubtless defeat him for the Governorship of the “Old Dominion.”’ * * * It appears that President McKin- ley has turned over the Federal of- fices in South Carolina to Senator McLaurin, who wiil use them in his race for re-election to the Senate. McLaurin still claims tobe 2 Demo- crat, and to see a Republican Presi- dert turning over the Federal pat- renagein aState to a Democratic Senator isa sight for gods and men. We expect thereisa perfect under- standing between McKialey and McLaurin by whichthe Republican party willlose nothing by this gen- erosity on McKinley’s part, if Mc- Laurin can prevent it. Recently McLaurin undertook to secure Gen- eral Wade Hampton with the Colum- bia postoffice, but the old hero re- fused to be bought. Of course Sen- ator McLaurin will be able to fill the offices with former Democrats, just as Dr. Mottand Col. Cooper coulda always find Democrats in western North Carollna to take the revenue offices in the good old days, but Senator McLaurin wil! find that his otfice holders will not be able to save him. The moment ore of them takes office his influence with Demo- erats will be gone forever. Mc- Laurin is already dead politically— simply a corpse awaiting the burial whichthe Palmetto Democrats will provideat the next election. one A Bitte Who Ought tojPull Hemp. Maxton Scottish Chief. I A man by the name of Hammond, traveling from Marlboro S. C., was arrested here Sunday, by Deputy Sheriff T L. Smith. He has been traveling through this country and other parts of the State, sellicg secds tobacco and possibly other commodities. He has been identi- fied, by driving a grey horse follow- ed by a mule colt. He also carried adouble barrel gun (one barrel rifled.) In his travels he had often stopped ata Mr. Nance’s home just over in Bladen county. Mr. Nance’s home was blessed with abecu iful young girl of sixteen summers. She seem- ed to become the centre of Mr. Hammond’s eye of affection. He represented himself as a man of family ard means, and desirous of securing a voung lady as companion and company for his wife. The fancy price offered by him was suf ficient to induce the parents to allew h2rto accompany bim, supposedly to his home in South Carolina, but instead it is claimed he took the young lady through dark woods, and by ways, keeping her in the woods all night, during the darkness of which, and away in the lonely woods hecommitted that nameless crime for which men p2y with their iife, and that too, quite fre- quently without judge or jury. At his preliminary hearing Tuesday, he waived trial and examination and was committed to jail at Lumberton to await the action of the next jury. —_o-—--——- How the Slaves Came South. Indianapolis Sentinel, April, 25, 1862. The Boston Gazette, published in old Massachusetts, acd dated July, 17. 1758, contains the following ad- vertisement: “Just imported from Afric3,and to be sold on board the brig Jonney. William Ellery, commander, now lying at New Boston, a number of likely negro boys and girls. from twelve to fourteen years of age. In- quire of said Ellery on- board said brig, where constant attend- ance is given. Note—The above slaves have all had the smallpox. Treasurer’s notes and New England rum will be taken as pay.”’ There is a good text for a long ser- mon, but the subject requires but few words.

Govervor Aycock Says the Revenue Law Is Constitutional. Raleigh Letter, roth. Your correspondent to-day inter viewed Governor Aycock in revard to the revenue act, its alleged uncon- stitutionality, etc. The Goveraor said: ‘I have no doubt tke act is allright. My belief is that even though the facts be as stated the courts will sustain itas a valid law. If they do not then there never has been a valid law since that provis- ion went into+the constitution, that is since 1860. Section 23, article 2, of the constitution, says: *‘All bills and resolutions of a leglsiative na ture shallbe readibreezimes in each Louse before they pass into Jaws.’ Almost every bili is amended on its: second or third reading and the amendment is not read three times, and neyer has been so read. Accord- ing tothis constitution as to the reading of amendments no valid act by Congress regarding revenue has been passed. The constitution equaily requires that all bilis offwhat- eyer nature be read three several times, and there is scarcely a law on tne statute books which was not a- mended on second or third reading, in vital points. eral readings have to be had after the amendment then thereis hardly any law which isgproperly passed. If the decision-in the 126 N. C. Su- preme Court Reports is law then al- must no statutes have been properly passed. ”” went tothe; a neighbor, | revolves. | nbdomer: , | vas. | Hamp it tlone| the | If then these sev- | { | { HOKE VS.

During the past two years a large pum- ber of people well known from ocean to ocean, have in glowing word» of un- stinted praise made Peruna the most famous and justly celebrated catarrh remedy in the world. — Men high in our national councils, statesmen known the world over, dis- tinguished officers jn the army and navy; physicians, lawyers, preach- ers, and last but not least, an in- numerable company of people in the common walks of life, have all joined to place Peruna on the highest pedestal of honor that any remedy has ever reached in the history of medicine. There can be no further question that Peruna is the catarrh remedy ot the age. It has no rival. There are no substitutes.

Governor Ayeock, wko was to have made the address on Tuesday morning, was prevented by official pyusiness from attending. This was a grievous disappointment especially as it was not known untilit was too jate to get a substitute. Tuesday eveaing the entertain- ment for the benefit of the library was given by the school and it is the common verdict that it was the best one ever given by the school. The house was ayain full, abdtbhe best of attention was given the young per- formers—most of whom were little tots from the lower grades It is impossible to over-estimate the pa- tience and tireless work necessary to train so perfectly the boys who com- posed the brownie band of ‘‘Pilly- Willy-Wiok-tum-Wee-uns’, in which Was Osear Marvin and Marshall Smith bore the leading parts or the 10 little girls in ‘“Goin, to Meetin,’’, or the ‘Grand Display by an Indiaao Chief and 20 of his Braves.” The recitation by AmeliaHoffman, ‘Paradise and the Peri’’ and the pantomime accompaniment by 13 white-robed fairies was exceedingly well done. Among the boys the honors fell to Hurst Turner, the ex- pert judge in the ‘Grand Baby Show,” and Campbell McLain who impersonated Santa Claus in the “Courtship and Marriage of. the Widow Goose.’’ But. all did well and all deserved the hearty applause they received, and if space permitted all should be mentioned here.

Consumption and bron- chitis, which are the most danger- ous aud fatal diseases, have for their first indication a persistent cough, and if properly treated as soon as this cough appears are easily cured.

CAPITALISTS 1G HTING THEMSELVES. Mon7y Goes as High as 60 Per Ceut —Brokers Were Ruined in Fifteen Minutes. New Yors Dispatch, roth : Bitter stress developed in Wall street by the second hour of a on the stock exchange | tcday. The violence,of the commotion had co much of its force, at least for the time being. when the chairman S avel fell ae a ches iS ays proceedings. e $ be a creat and the field of battle was strewn with wreckage and m3y- be withdying. But of actual fatali- ties no news were recorded of im- portance during the day. During the height of the panic, rumors ofin insolvencies ‘were bandied about more quic’ly than they could be re ported. Butno confirmations could be had of the intimations of financial AMONG wreck. Tbose against whom the rumors pointed refused even to show any signof distress and pro- fessed themselves ready to meet all obligations. Jn more than one In- stance, the answer to these rumors vas fora representative of the house to go upon the stock exchange and place loans to a large amount as it- dicating the abundance of resources at hand, But notwithstandin,< these and similar devices for keeping up credit and contidence, the fact was too obvious from the crash of values on the exchange that credits and borrowing power were shrinking at too prodigous a rate not toleave the mind of the whole financial world in a condition of intense strain. But the indications at the close of the day were strong that the principal damage had oeen wrought upon the speculative class or upon holders of securities on margin for whatever purpose. MONEY GOES UP TO 60 PER CENT. The banks have been so well pro- tected by recent extensions of the margins exacted in the market value of collaterai over the amount of loans placed, that they had little to fear short of an absolute wiping out of market values. The shrinkage 0 collateral made it necessary for the banks in many cases to exact addi tional collateral during the day much to the distress for a time, in the financial form a pool and raise the money rate down to6 per cent on the stock exchange. The bid fo money had been run up cent. and was threatening to kee alive the panic. The dozen of bank quickly came to an raise $16,000,000 with sary. ing in some cases to $25,000,000 an $30,000,000, Through the early part of theday bankers exacted the mark- et rate for loans but with the grow- ing need to suppress the panic, they offered the rate down to 6 per cent. Old customers of the banks were not charged over 6 per cent. at any time, but when outsiders came in askin for new loans, the law of supply and demand was allowed to run its course. LOST ALL 1N FIFTEEN MINUTES. The estate of excitement was very apparent all through the field an during the period of the panic, but there were few sensational scenes. Now and then a white-faced woman would peer from a cab outside broker’s office and would be driven off in afainting condition after re- ceiving a message from the interior. Wherever any near approach could be made toa ticker, or to a board on which quotations were posted, there were great throngs of excited specu lators clamoring for a view -of the But the real stressof the occasion came upon men who were shut up either in their private offices or those of brokers, or who were struggling and even fighting on the floor of the exchange course of the market. The outside country could obtain li tle idea ot the actualj occurrances on the exchange as the brokers are re- mote from the public galleries in their temporary quarters in the produce exchange and are half shut off from view by the sixteen foot In the brokers’ offices sat many men who were reduced to ab- will. solute ruin as a resuit of 15 minute proceedings on the stock exchang JUST ONE MORE PLAY-—AND RUIN.

UNDER TREMENDOUS PRESSURE. Alt classes of employes in the stock exchange district were under tremendous pressure throughout the day. The impression produced by contract with these was due to their coolness and nerve under the most trying an exciting circumstance Brokers, messenger boys, telephone clerks, and the like, have learned during the last few weeks to waste little time in demonstrations. They do things in the quickest and shortest manner and so made things go smoothly today—a period when lack of coolness might have meant boys, disaster to many persons. EFFORTS 7? AVERT THE PANIC. There was a strong feeling th morning before the proceedings had commenced on the stock exchange that a panic could be averted only by the strongest measures and with the greatest difficulties. The fact was apparent that the corner i . Northern Pacific was still unbroken. The excited bidding last night to secure the stock for delivery toda was very apparent. but in late dealings the principal banks | district agreed to a fund to loan to 60 per} by the perpendicular drop in the agreement to implied will- ingness to increase the sum if neces- There were very heavy loans placed also by indiviual banks, rang- The first efforts to avert the panic were devoted to circulating reports that the confer- ences between the intending inter- ests in Northern Pacific, which con- tinued in one form or another, throughout the night, had resulted in a compromise, which wovld free the shorts in the stocks from their compromised position. These efforts . proved utterly ineffective in the face of the first quotations for Northern Pacific on the rape. THE COVERING OF THE SHORTS. * The price paid for the stock ran 9 up quicklv to $200 per then to #300, to $500, and even to! aims today, the one 3700 per share on regular transae | pyrintained the cont ® v The cash price paid meant that nu fortunate shorts who were unable to borrow the stcck last vight for de-} ivery to-day had to pay whateve eash price the engineers of the corn- er chose toask for it. The figures indicated in these Cpening trapsac- tions meant ruin fora very large outstanding short interest 10 the stock. The perception of this fact was the principal impelling cause i” producing the demoralization in the stock market. The concerted effort to support the market by buyirg all socks which might be offered which r of dissuading persons from selling, and which was undertaken. accord- ing to the current beliefin Wall street, by some of the most power- ful capitalists in the country, Was swept away like a whirlpvol under the deluge of offerings which came upon the market. As prices began to godown the disposition to buy de- creased and the determination to sell seemed to crow in geometrical ratio, as a falling body gainsin velocity the farther it falls. A GREAT UNLOADING. Such a shoveling out of stocks as oceurred during the second hour of today’s stock market was never seen before. After a sale had been meade ata fixed price, a broker would throw in an additional block ot any- where from 5 to10 points lower, without stopping to demand any in- termediate price for his offering. The extent of the decline during the half hour was as great in some cases as has taken weeks to attain on the advance, although all observers have agreed that the rate at which prices have been going up, has exceeded any previous experience. The fiy- ures alone suffice to indicate the proportions of the drop. In Dela- ware & Hudson, the extreme decline wes 39 points. Manhattan 38), Rock Island 353, Union Pacific 38, Atchi- son 39, Atchison preferred 283, St. {| Paul 303. Missouri Pacific 32, Sovth- ern Pacific 29%, United States Steel -| preferred 263, while a range of 5 to -| 30 points would cover the cc lapse in nearly every active stock ou the ex- change. THE DROP IN STANDARD OIL In the outside market the stress r|of the demand for funds was shown p| price of Standard Oil of 171 points siover night. The stock sold at 650 compared with 821 last night. The same urgent need was reflected in the bond market where all grades of bonds were offeredon a declining seale. The sacrifices there were a| naturally much less than in the stock department of the market. After theturnin the market came, which it did about noon, it was noticeable the selling of bonds still continued and this was explained as_ being due toa wish to secure funds to buy stocks at the attractive level of g | prices to which the market had fall- en. In fact, the bargain hunter was op hand and alert and even iu sucha disaster as that presented, there are those who reaped the benefit. The drop in prices carried stocks of y | many substantialproperties down to a/ jevel at which the current rate of dtvidends paid upon them and well assured, make them attractive in- vestments. NORTHERN PACIFIC CORNER BOTTOM OF IT. It wasa very notable fact that throughout the most acute period of today’s disturbance, there was noth- ing heard to indicate the doubt of the sound and prosperous conditions of industry avd business at large in the couatry. The stock market col- a AT THE over-speculatioa and an over exten sion of credits used in holding stocks which it was not designed to keep, but tosellata higher price.

A RESPITE OF ONE DAY. announcement regarding it upon the stock market. The upwa-4 shoot to $1,000 a share was the effec tive cause of the greatest demoraii zation in the stock market. The an. pnouncement later in the day of the measures fur the relief of the short the stock to 300, alluycd the demor- alization almost immediately. Ar rangements by J. P. Morgan & Co., = and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who respec- parties ia Northern Pacific, that the stock today, meant a respite of shorts in the stock. day Street & Norton announced that they also would not require deliver ies of the stock. LENIENT TOWARD HIS VICTIMS. This firm hasbeen credited with acting for Jas. R. Keene, and bough: about 200,000 shares of Northern Pacific.on Monday last, loaning 150,000 shares that night and calling in the greater part of it the next day, thus disclosing the corner io the stock. The theory that Mr Keene’s campaign had been directed towards a squeeze of the shorts was somewhat shaken by this leniency towards his victims. It was signi ficant also that although the parties to thecontest for control showed their willingness to relieve the shorts by remitting the requirement to deliver stock, they failed tocome to any mutual agreement tolend the stock, such as was proposed by one party last night.

All of these specific rumors emphatically denied on the direct authority of the parties affected. but so violent a coliapse in prices as oceurred today necessarily involves enormous losses somewhere. The extent of the decline was far in ex- cess cf the ordinary margin demand ed by brokers, which is 19 per cent., indicating that they Were unable to save themselves from con::derable losses in addition to those of their speculative customers. The situa- tion was still felt to be sufficiently serious after the closing of the day’s market to constitute the heaviest moral pressure upon the great finan- cial interests, whose conflict precip- itated the crisis, toadjust and com- promise their differences, and conti- dence in the futures is based upon a strony hope that some means of do- ing this will be found. SCHIFF SAYS THE CLC SE-OUT PRICE WILL BE $150. Jacob H. Schiff refused to see re- porters at his residence tonight con- cerning the stock market, but a se- ries of questions were written out and sent tohim with the request that he answer as wavy of them as is consistent with his interests. These questions covered the ground as to whether anv permanent plan of set- tlement, oran agreement between the opposing interests in Northera Pacific had been reached, and if he anticipated any change In the situa- tion when the steck exchange openu- ed to-morrow morning. Mr. Schiff’s written answers to the questions follow: ‘‘As far as the stocks coming to Kuhn, Loco & Co. are concerned, which the parties owing delivery have declared them- selves unable to procure from any other source, they have been notified that they can close their contracts at $150 per share.” HILL WAD NOTHING TO DO WITH Tt. James J. Hill, president of the Northern Pacific Railroad, took din- ner with his son at the Metropolitan Club thisevening. When seen con- eerning the struggle in the stock market he said: ‘*Whea I have spo- ken atall I have tried to make peo ple understand that I have had nothing at ali todo with these mar- ket transactions. I have been busy all day long buying locomotives for the roid. I haye not been in the street and I have neither bovght or sold share of Northern Pacific stock.”” ——— An Irish Paper Suppressed Fer an AC tack on King Edward. Dublin Dispatch, roth. The police of Cork, Limerick and other towns of Ireland seized copies of William O’Brien’s weekiy paper. The Irish People, found at the news- dealers, stands today. Thecffending article, it now appears, was an abusive attack on King Edward. It was aS follows: ; “Down upon his knees before an old bald headed roue lover of every woman of fair features who bas ap- peared in English society for 40 years, including titled dames and yetentitled actresses—the Hnglish gentleman perjurer of a historic divorce case,the polluted h. ro offone ofthe most malodorous scenes in Cola’s rotten novel, Nena,’ ihe cen- tre of ascore of the most disyraceful scandals of the most contemptible type—down in front of this English King, whose latest public perform- ance was tostigmatize on fis solemn oath the Cathclic world as supersti- tious idolators, knelt the Enylish- born cardinal Prince of the Church. with a document that mi:ht have been presented to a Lexree ona Southern plantation, 50 years ago, pat not by an Uncie Tom, poor but contented, -of Harriet Seecher Stowe’s great story, who would have seen hisblack skin stripped off inch by inch, rather than put b's mark to a document like.that signed wed pre sented by Gardinal Vaughan and the Duke of Norfolk on his solemn oath. We do not believe he attach- ed theslightest solemnity to per- formance. But the fact rematns— this old and wornourt decendant ofa race of scoundrels and practical professor of hideous immorality as- severated that most of tbe sacrea doctriues of the Catholic fai:h were idolatrous and superstitivus. He bas not yet recanted. He has not said a word to indicate he did not thoroughly approve of the terms of the oath framed in the days of Titus. The oath of a perjurer is no !ess vile than that of the reigning Kisg; but on bended knees the Prince of the Church knelt before this unutterably abominable person. Let us console ourselves with the fact that the presentees were English Catholics who are repudiated by the only real- ly Catholic nation now in existence. The Loyalists represented England only, and ifthe English Catholics chooseto acknowledge themselves superstitious idolators itis no fault of ours.”’ The police of London are suppress- ing copies of The Irish People for- warded before the office in Dublin was seized. & Monster Devil Fish.

Oo ----———— An Old Negro Preacher Dead. New London, Conn., Dispatch, 17th. Rev. Wm. H. Cornor; believed to have been the oldest negro preacher in the country, died at his home in this .city today, aged nearly 101 years, He was born in slavery iv Whitmarsh township, in what is now Baltimore county, Maryland. In 1829 he escaped and for years was employed in a hotel in New York. He came to New London in 1840. He began preaching before 1850 and though never ordained, was at the head of the negro religious society here and was affectionately known as Father Connor. His powers were remarkably preserved up to a short timeago. Gov, Aycock’s Use of Pardoning Pow- er. Morganton Herald. The papers are having too much to sav, we think, about the pardons issued by our Governor Aycock. This paper never intends to join in abuse of a man because he is merci- ful. As Bob Taylor told Sam Jones. but, for the mercy of God, we would all be lost., We never blamed Rus- sell for his pardons; we do not blame Aycock. We honor the man whose soul is touched with human pity, aud whose ear is open to a woman’s prayers. When a petition comes, signed by the judge, jury, solicitor, and good men of the vicinage, the governor ought to honor it; when a poor wife, mother or daughter sues at the goyernor’s feet for tbe free- dom of husband, son. or father, be ought to be excused for the exercise of that mercy which makes us kin with God. >_> Child Leftina Field Spartanburg, S. C., Dispatch, r7th. Great excitement was caused here to-day by a stranger wko drove upto Fair Forest and went out in Mr. Keller’s,cotton field and deposited a bundle on the ground. Several children saw it and when the man left they went out to see whatit was he had left. They founda live baby about a week old. The neighborhood was aroused and the man was followed to town but when they got here he ard a young woman had just left on the Asheville train. Chief Dean used the wires and had them arrested at Hendersonville. The man’s name is Gus Shaw. The woman’s name is not known. The couple will be prosecuted here to the full extent of the law,as it looks as if it was the intention to leave the babe to die in the field. A Wilkes Farmer Hangs Himeelf. Straw, Wilkes County, Special to Raleigh News and Observer. A shocking suicide occurred near Hunting Creek, in this county, Wilkes, yesterday morning. Mr P. C. Johnson, a well to do farmer, was found hanging in an old tenant house on his farm by one of his chil- dren, who was searching for hen's nests. The tragedy hasshocked the community. No motive can beim- agined for the deed as Mr. Johnson has always been a good citizen, a member of the church and respected by allwho knew him. His home life was pleasant so far as anvone kuew. He leavesa wife and eight children; the youngest only one week old. This tragedy occurred near the place where the Rev. J. O. Moore committed suicide about one year ago, and in the same communi- ty where Jas. Marlowe was killed last August by J. P. Lewis. A strange fatallity seems to hover over this locality. A Mr. Sproks, was found dead in his wagon in the same neighborhood in February last, a Engineer Scalped ina Wreck. Teachey’s Special to Raleigh News and Obser- ver, 16th, Early this morning, between 12 and 1 o’clock, there was a rear-end collision bere on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. It resulted ia the serious injury of the engineer, the complete wreck of his engine and the burning of twoexpress cars. The accident seems to have been due to the failure of the flagman on the first train to put out his lights. Both trains were composed cf empty cars, being hauled to the truckiny district for the use of ber- ry shippers.” They were running pretty close together. Tke front train, composed of express cars, stopped at Teachey’s and the train of refrigerator cars behind ran into it at aspeed of about twenty miles an hour, As nolights were. out, Engineer Pemberton, who was pulling the re- frigerator train, did not see the ex- press train until he was almost upon it. Then he called to the fireman to save himself, and the negro did so by running back upon the cars. Mr. Pemberton, however, was hurled with terrific force from his cab. His head struck the sharp end of a crosstie and his scalp was literally torn away, from his forehead to the back of his head. His breast was also injured, but it is hoped not se- riously. The scalp has been sewed back on and he is at the hotel resting as well as could be expected.

Morristown, Pa,, Dispatch, 17th, A strange case of premonition of death occurred in Bridyeport. Thos. Dillon, an aved resident, on arising in the morning, announced to his children that, while he was not feel- ing ill, he belieyed that he would not be with them long:in fact, he did not think he would see the light of another day He went to walk in the morning, returned for dinner, after which he took a bath and put on clean under- wear, saying that he wanted to die clean. Hethen went to bed, and though medical aid was summoned, all efforts to prevent the aged man’s prediction coming true were una- vailing. He peacefully passed away in a few hours. pee ne Society May Kill Mrs. Gage. Washington Dispatch, 17th. Doubts are entertained of the re- covery of Mrs. Lyman J. Gage, wife of the Secretary of the Treasury. She is suffering from rheumatic troubles, accompanied by low fever. Mrs, Gage, according to her phy- sician, is paying the penalty of too great devotion to her social duties. Last winter Mrs. Hay, wife of the Secretary of State, was in mourning for her mother, and Mrs. Gage bore the brunt of all official entertain- ments. She collapsed after the in- augural festivities. Mrs. Gage’s daughter and sister, from Evanston, Ill., are with her, but no visitors have been admitted to her sick room for nearly a month. een The Right Sort. Raleigh News and Observer, Referring to the remoyal of Mr. W. W. Mills from Carthage to Bis- coe, the Carthave Blade says: “In July, 1886, he began to work at 40 cents a day and is now worth $125,000, earned by energy and bus- iness capacity. Such a manis vaiu- able to a town, county and State.” Mr. Mills is the right sort. His success ought to be an inspiration to young men to put their shoulders to the wheel, to despise not tbe day of small things, but to use brain and industry to develop their State and secure their own advancement. Mr. Mills 1s a brother of Mr. J. A. Mills, of Raleigh, president of the wagon factory and the railroad from Ra leigh toFuquay. He, too, has been eminently successful, and is a worthy example to ambitious young men who are ready to begin at the bot- tom, work hard and use their wits. eS It Is Reciprocity. Raleigh News and Observer. Mr. Wm. E. Curtis, writing from Columbia, S. C., says that in Wash- ington, “‘whenever legislation vital to the Republican interests or strongly desired by the administra- tion was pending McLaurin habitu- ally voted with the President’s par- ty, which caused some comment. It was understood by the Republican leaders that his vote could be de- pended upon whenever it was necd- ed.and asa matter of reciprocity the President and the members of the Cabinet accepted his recommen- dations in appointments :to office and other official matters in South Carolina.”’ That’s it exactly. Me- Laurin gave his vote ‘“-whenever leg- islation vital to Republican interests or strongly desired by the adminis- tration was pending,’’ and as pay- ment he is distributing Federal offices to helpelect himself to the Senate. And that’s why all true Democrats can have no part nor lot with him. a Practical Education. We have received an interesting little handbook on this subject issu- ed by the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. A couple of quotations from it will in dicate its character: “The world is demanding men who can do, aswellas think. The best equippment for a young man today is technical skill, knowledge and power. ‘-A century ago education was for the few, and was designed to fit them for the learned professions; today education is for the many, and is in- tended to equipp them for life’s practical] work.”’ ee Any lad desiring to be an engi neer, manufacturer, electrician, chemist, machinest, mechanic, dai- ryn.an, farmer. or fruit s&rower should write for a copy of this book- let to President Winston.

Nine was sitting in his barn, with a hired msn, husking corn, when J. Wesley Beatty, the hus- band of Nine’s sister. came up with a shotgun and shot Nine dead, The men were both wealthy, about 63 vears old, and had been fast friends till Nine had Beatty's son fined for stealing cider. Beatty escaped, but 10 days later surrendered, was tried, and condemned to die. He is now at Moundsville awaiting execution. Friends of Beatty circulated a pe- titicn to the Governor to commute the sentence to life imprisonment. Friends of the dead man circulated a counter-petition, asking that the law take its course. Surprise was expressed when Mrs. Beatty refused to siza the first petition, but it was increased when she signed the sec- ond. Owing to criticism of her act, Mrs. Beatty yesterday gave out a public statement. She says her husband has always possessed a violent temper; that on more than one occasion he had struck her, and that but for his threats to murder her she would have separated from him twenty years ago. She says he had murder in his heart againstevery one who oftended him, and that death is his just desert. She says her brother, who was killed, was a kind-hearted, generous man, who had done much for Beatty, and but for him Beatty would have been in trouble long since. She has no regrets. In an interviewa few days ago Beatty said in his cell at Mounds- ville that his wife had expected bim to kill Nine and had driven him to do it, se * Child Left on the Doorstep. Columbia State 27th. ' Tuesday night about midnight the Rev. R. P. Pell, president of the Presbyterian College for Women, went downto close the front door before he retired. He heard a noise which he at first thought came from acat. He looked around <o run the animal away and was amazed to find that the noise was made by a little baby. . He reported to police headquarters and asked that an officer be sent out. Meanwhile the infant was cared for at the college. The waif is a little girl, about four or five weeks old, healthy and pretty. Her clothes are not of the finest material, but very nicely made. The baby’s fine condi- tion and the neatness of its clothes indicated anything else than pover- ty. MMe. Pell not being in pusitioa to care for the little one, turned it over to some good women who conduct the ‘Door of Hope.’’ There the lit- tle one is now, avd she is being well cared for. The child had not long been on the porch when Mr. Pell found it, for soae one had been on the porch not halfan hour before, and the waif was not there then. These facts were willingly given by Dr. Pell yesterday. It is probable that the bundle was brought intothe city on cne of the night trains and deposited on the porch of this inviting and homelike place. -__-~>_—_——_— Woman Shoots at a Nephew of Aim- bassador Choate. Denver, Colo., Dispatch, r7th. Mrs. Martha Ewart, who shot in- etfectively twice at Jos. K. Choate, president of the Denver Cotton Mills Company, and nephew of U- nited States Ambassador Choate, last night at the office of Wolcott & Vaile, was released on bord of $500 to-day. Information was filed in the Criminai Court to day, charging Mrs. Ewart with attempted murder. Mr. Choate’s attorney made a statement for publication as to the eveats that led up to the shooting.

The Ocean View Hotel, on Wright- ville beach, near Wilmington, was burned early tonight with the pa- vilion, bath houses and two or three small buildings adjoining. The ho- tel was unoccupied, but was fur nished and almost in readiness for thesummer season. It was owned by the Ocean view Company, S. A Schloss, president, and was valued at $7,500 with insurance for two- thirds the value. Mr. Schloss says the hotel wil! be rebuilt at once and on an enlarged scale. Itisnot known how the fire oc- curred. Theflames were first dis- covered on the roof. There are but few people on the beach this early in the season and little coald be done towards saving the hotel and near by buildings. Other property in danger, howev- er, was saved by hard work. A special train was sent from the city with firemen and apparatus of the Wilmington fire department. The Seashore Hotel, the various club houses and all the cottages escaped, although, as a hard wind was blow- ing, it was feared at one time that the fire wouldspread. > <i A 16-Year-Old Girl Abducted.

At noon yesterday the Lieutenant- Governor became the Chief Excecu- tive of State and will remain so un- til Tuesday at noon—four days. Governor Aycock has gone to New York, and under Article III, section 12, of the Constitution the Lieuten- ant-Governor is Governor in the ab- sence of that official from the State. Governor Aycock goes to New York to speak on Monday evening, May 20th, before the North Carolina Society at a banquet given at the Wa.dorf Astoria Hotel. ‘What North Carolina is doing to meet the changed conditions brought about by the war,’’is the toast to which he will respond. He will leave New York Monday night and stop at Greensboro to attend the commence- ment at the Norma! and Industrial College and deliver copies of the Constitution to the members of the graduating class. Before leaving the capitol yester- Gay moroing, Governor Aycock dic- tated a letter to Lieutenant-Govera- or Turner notifying bim of bis inten tion to leave the city and calling at- tention to the fact that he (Turner) would be the Chief Executive of the State until the Governor’s return. Though the Lieutenant-Governor is the Governor it will not be neces- sary for him to come to Raleigh and he will not, of course, assume the active conduct of the office unless some special emergency calling for his official action arises. - - —=- 2 «a _ In Fancy Hill Neighborhood.

He rose that morning and after speak- ing to several af the family started to the barn, as was his custom, to feed the hogs. When he was called to breakfast, he did not come and the family becomiug uneasy went to search forbim. He was found lying face downward at the foot of a small tree not more than 200 yards from his barn, <A poolof blood was found at the root of the tree. The coron- er, Mr. G. M. Foard, being summon- ed went down with Dr. R. A. Camp- bell to hold an inquest. A jury com- posed of J. M. Patterson, G. M. Young, W. H. Evans, P. H. Collins, F. Kk. Ostwalt and G. M. L. Cavin was secured and the examination made. When the deceased was turned over an ordinary one-bladed barlow knife was found clasped in his right hand. Inthe right side of his throat wasan ugly gash which had severed the jugular vein and penetrated the wind pipe, causing speedy death, and pointing conclu- sively to suicide. Mr. Kerr was a man who had been useful and loved in his community. His life had been open and clean and he won and kept the respect of his friends. For some time however disease had incapacitated him and sapped his strength, physically and mentally. Continued brooding over the illsof the flesh had rendered him melancholy and at last drove him to his tragic end. The deceased was about 57 years old his wife and six children, three sons and three daughters survive. He was burried Friday at Perth church, which he had loved and sup- ported. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Griffith. a Heavy Rains—-Immense Damage on the Catawba.

The-body of a man found late last nightin Ninth avenue, has been identified as that of Rev. Edward 5 Philips, of St. Gabriel’s church, Hazelton, Pa., who recently hada conference with J. Pierpont Morgan, in reference to the threatened strike in the iron and coal regions of Penn- sylvania. Kirk Stanley, a message operator, in whose rooms the body was found, is under arrest as a Sus: picious person. Decomposition had adyanced so far when the body was discovered that a cursory examina- tion was not sufficient to reveal the cause of death. Stanley has been subjected to a rigid examination and is said to have told conflicting stories. Mrs. Bernius, from whom Stanley leased four rooms, in one of which the body was found, says that her tenant claimed to be from San Francisco and called himself Dr. Stanley. He was accompanied by a young woman whom he iatroduced as his wife. The body was discover ed by Mrs. Bernius’ daughter, who went into Stanley’s apartments to remove some bedding which was hanging out of the window. : The police were immediately noti- fied and asearch of the body aisclos- ed a number of papers. Among them was a letter from John Mitch- ell, president of the United Mine Workers, and addressed to Rev. Dr. Edward S. Phillips, Hazelton, Pa. There were also. several tele- grams from Mitchell addressed to the priest, ahalf-fare railway coupon such as is issued to clergymen, and several receipts made out in Dr. Phillipps’ name, Stanley was ar- rested at midnight. The prisoner seemed to be suffering from the ef fects of drink or drugs. His manner was that ofa man who was badly dazed. Hesaid his name was Kirk Stanley, and that he had come to this city about a yearand a half ago. He said they called him ‘‘Doctor,”’ but he had no diploma. He was a message operator and intended to open an office here. | ‘Lhe body of Father Phillipps was | removed tothe morgue. Dr. A. F.

An old darkey who lives in the thickets across the river came to Memphis one day to get his pension check cashed. After receiving his money, which amounted to $11, the old ex-slave sauntered down Front street to a produce houseand bought three crates of cabbages. When they were delivered at the wharf late that afternoon the old man was there and received them with a mouth watering in anticipation of the good time ahead. “Whut ye gwirne ter do wid dem cabbages?”’ inquired the negro dray- man who delivered them. “Eat ‘em was the quick response. “f’ze bin free forty years, and dis is de first time I’ze had de money to buy “nuff cabbage.

He refused to make any state-! ment in court. Coroner Bauscb visited Stanley in his cell today and there, after at Lexington Cemetery this after- much persuasion, the prisoner told | the following remakable story to the coroner: ‘‘It is true I knew the | priest and this isthe way I became'| acquainted with him: I left my home about midnight May 8, and walked over to the corner of Ninth avenue and Fiftieth street. There 1}! saw standing on the corner the’ priest, talking with twogirls. He was somewhat intoxicated and so was I, for I had been drinkingin my rooms, The priest was in good hu- mor and so were the girls. They spoke tome asI approached them andI stopped. After a little con versation, I asked them to come withme to my rooms, where we would have some whiskey. They all | accepted the invitation and ina few minutes we were seated in my sit- | ting room drinking whiskey. The! swirls remained with us about two or | three hours and then left, saying! they had to go home. After they left Doth the priest and I were taken ill. Idon’tknow whether the girls had put anything in our drinks or not, but we were nauseated. The priest tooka small bottle of medi cine from his vest pocket and swal- lowed a little and then told me to do thesame. I didsoand in a little white we both felt better. “It was then the priest told me be was a Roman Catholic clergyman from Pennsylvania and offered to ficaccially back meinmy cure He did not tell me his name. *-As dawn was breaking, I told the priest Ithought I would take a little walk, as the air would do me good, and I asked him to accompany me, but he said he would rather rest where he was. I went out and re- turned, I should say, two hours la- ter. WhenI got back the priest was gcue. That was the last time I ever saw him. The dead man in the room which Captain Donoghue showed me, was not the priest I knew. The dead man looked like a negro. Stanley could not describe the two girls, nor would he admit having bad a woman there whom he called his wife. ’ eCv—w—wrer—S oS A Drunken Man Better Than a Fool Any Time. Middletown, N. Y, Dispatch, 17th, _A drunken man saved Conductor Murray’s train, on the Ontario & Western Railroad, while running south about dusk Sunday night,from probable destruction and loss of life to members of thecrew at a point called Pork Eddy, near Trout Brook. Engineer Val Powell was at the throttle when suddenly he saw a man gesticulating wildly and stag- gering up the middle of the track toward the engine. He stepped aside justintime to escape being struck, and as the engine passed the engineer heard him shout “rock” at the top ofof his voice. Powell put on theair brakes and the train was brought toa Standstillewithin a few feet of many tons of rock that had slid down on the track from the south side of the adjaceat mountain. The mountain is on_one side at this point and the river is on the other. It is certain that if the train had col- lided with the seyeral tons of ob- struction the cars would have been pilted up in the water, several hun- dred feet below. When the train had come to a standstill the individ ual who had stopped it came stag- gerlog up, and his first remark was: “A drunken man is better than a fool, any time.

OE Et gp Mrs. Swepson Dead. Raleigh Letter, 16th. Mrs. Virginia M. Swepson died at 3 o'clock this morning at her home here, after barely 12 hours illness, of apoplexy. Her death was preciseiy like that of her husband in 1884. Shedied while the physician was feeling her pulse and a few moments after she had talked so pleasantly as to make those at her bedside smile. She was 74 years of age anda daugk- ter cf Hon. Bartlett Yancey, one of the ablest men this State bas ever produced. Sbe was. born iu Caswell county, and then married Mr. Swepson, who was a native of Virginia, but who had made Caswel} his home. He made Raleigh his place of residence some36 years, and the home here, nearthe Confed erate monument, is well knownas one of the most attractive places in the city. He wasa large figure ia the exciting times between 1865 70. and a few years later shot and killed Adolphus W. Moore, who it was said had fairly besieged him in his own house. Mrs. Swepson was a devoted Baptist and a liberal giver. Her home, which was built by Rev Dr. T. E. Skinner of Raleigh, ad- joined the First Baptist church, of which he was for many years the pastor. It is the belief that in her will Mrs. Swepson has made libera! gifts to her denomination. She was remarkably like Queen Victoria in figure and face. says the resemblance was astonish ing, Rev.

Someone in thecrowd threw astone, but it went wide of its mark. Thecrowd was very noisy and there was muchconfusion. The car finally moved forward in to the next block and another stone was thrown at it. There wasa sharp command and as thecar slowed down four shots were fired from it. Leroy Smith lounged on the stens of his store. William Walsh, his business aeighbor from across the street, was his immediate companion and a small crowd hun, about them. It was into this crowd thet the guards men fired at a ranze of less than 20 feet. Smithand Walsh were both shot in the abdomen, and fell where they stood. A third man, William Rooney, was slightly burt by a glancing bullet. Some of the wuards stepped from the car and re loaded their pieces. The sturtled crowd fell back at the first shot ard 2 mo- ment later the guards sprany aboard the car and were rapidly wheeled from the scene.

New Orleans Times-Democrat. The University of North Garolina, whose representatives -won the championship in the athletic games of Saturday last onthe Tulane cam- pus, bas grown steadily in numbers and influence for good since its re- opening after the civil war. - During the earlier half of the century the graduates of the University, or of what was then known as ‘‘Chapel Hill,’’ took and maintained, wherev er they went, high rank in law, in politics, in medicine, in theology and in the profession of arms, and by their character and culture made no mean contribution to the eurich ment of the South and Southwest. Throughout the war, when 110,009 North Carolinians - the larges: number in proportion toits popula tion furnished by any Southern State—enlisted under tne Stars and Bars, the doors of the honored insti- tution were practically closed, and the University was ail but stripped of tLe means and equipment neces- sary to carry on its work. During the reconstruction period ‘Chapel Hill’s” history was not without a sombore coloring. Yet of recent years, and especially during the last decade, the University has so grown in power and popularity that it has won honorablerank among the uni- versities of the South. Though the institution is not heavily endowed, its high standard of scholarship and {| the ideals of right thinking and 5 right living it inculeates have at- tracted students in large numbers to its doors. The friends of educa- tion everywhere will be gratified to learn that the people of North Caro livna have at length recognized the constantly increasing usefulness of their University and that they have highly resolved that an ixstitution which is the distinct glory of the State shall ve liberally supported in the work it has thus far so nobly carried on. § Millions Given Away.

W. P. McGhee officiating. The church was artistically deco- rated with green foilage and pot flowers, und the bridal party as it stocd midst this refreshing scene in the shades of early twilight made the ocean one of sweet solemnity and admiration. The bridal party eniered the church at the first of the procession- almarch, which was rendered by Mrs. J. W. Kistler. The Ushers were Messrs. Arthur Harris. | A. Moretz, of Hickory, ¥. P. Rockett and J. W. Butler, of Mooresville. They preceeded the bride and the groonrend took their positions on either side of the chan- cel. The bride and ber maid of hon- or, Miss Maud Carter, dressed in pure white and carrying a magofi- ceut boquet, marched up the left aisie, whilethe groom attended by his best man, Mr. William Shell, of Hickory, came in on the right. The meeting at the altar was the signal for the solemnpization of matrimonial rites, which was brief but impres- sive. The couple received many congratulations at the church and station. They left on the evening train for Charlotte to spend a few days and will then retura to their home at Hickory. The bride received a number of handsome presents. A grand dinner was served at the home of th> bride’s mother, Mrs. A. C, Shoemaker, Wednesday afternoon to quite a number of invited friends. The out-of-town people present for the dining were Mrs, Carter and daugbter, Miss Maud, of Charlotte Miss Maggie Thompson, of Wood- leaf; Miss Cornelius and Mr. James N. Bell, of Charlotte: On account of the washouts and high waters, the groom and his at- tendants had quite a thrilling expe- rience in reaching Mooresville on time.

Among the babel of voices, pro- claiming this and that strange doe- trive and labelling it ‘*Democracy,”’ all men who believein the fundamen- tals will be glad to hear the voice of Governor Aycock, declaring the faith of Democracy yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever. Closing his patrioticand optimistic speech be- fore the North Carolina Society in New York last night he said: ‘We believe in expansion, but tae expansion in which we believe is the expansion founded upon the superi- ority of our work and the cheapness cf our goods. “Temporary prosperity .canpet divorce us from fidelity to the dzsc- trine of the fathers. ‘-We have not yet learned to be- lieve that the permanent prosperity of the whole people can be founded upon special favors to some. **We know that the world cannot trade with us unless we trade with them, and that no country can for any long time buy our goods and pay for therm in money. “There must be rc procity, aud the best reciprocity is a tariff for revenue only. ““We want easy access to the mar- kets of the world. We wait witb interest the canal which shali put us close to the East.” Herein six simple, direct sen- tences Gov. Aycock has answered— and answered fully and completely —tke sophistry and shallow prating of McLaurin and those who brought him to Nerth Carolina to give ut- terance to his Federalistic and mo- nopolistic dogmas. Upon these six principles laid down by the Gover- nor of North Carolina the pcople of this good State stand, and in de- fense of the sound policy he epitom- izes they are as immovabdie as the rock of Gibraltar.

Itis now valued by the parties who control it at haif a mil lion dollars. There seems tc be no doubt but this is a very rich mine. A labor union was organized at the Norwood Cotten Mills, Nor wood, Wednesday night.

To orm the Biggest Sank in the World New York Dispatch, 24th, The Mail and Express says: Pri- vate dispatches from Washington and elsewhere hint that J. Pierpont Morgan has in mind the establish- ment of “the largest bank in the world,’’ an institution which will in- volve the consolidation of several of the more important houses of this city, the object being the creation of a bank strony enough to actas a bulwark between the Treasmry De- partment and the financiai world in ease of need. Itis stated that Mr. Morgan has conferred with < fiicials at Washington as tothe feasibility of such a scheme and that while he has received no direct encouragement, the financial system of the country practically precluding such recogni tion, yet there are those high in power who have assured him that such an institution might be not on- ly useful but actually necessary. Balance of Power. Raleigh News and Observer The people of South Carolina have uot quitthe Democratic party be- cause they have a constitutional amendment. There are two reasons: 1: They are real Democrazs; 2. They knew that Democratic defeat would result in annulling the good of their amendment. In North Carolina there would be 2 third reason. ‘The number of negroes who can vote through education will increase every year. If they are factors in politics by reason of sharp divi- sions, enovgh will vote in a few years to constitute them the balance of power. The place to settle con- testsand prevent political stagnation in North Carolina is within the Democratic primaries or conven- tions. Any other way is brizging in a Trojan borse. The Constitutional Convention of 1875. by reason of providing for the county government and other like measures, saved the State from nc- gro rule twenty vears. If the Con- stituticnal Amerdment passed in 1900 wil! save the State for another twenty years. it will be as longas its friends dare expect. And then seme other expedient will have to be adopted.

Neal, of Scotland county, judge of the eighth judicial district aod Lee D. Robinson, of Auson-county, solicitor. These are splendid appointments in every Way. Judge Neal is alawyer of ability, a gentleman saxs puer et reproche and 3 Democrat in whom there is no guile. Solicitor Robinson has been a memberof two Legislatures, in- cluding the one recently adjourned, and ke is one of the strong young lawyers of the State.

Senator Tillman was recently elect- ed toa full term and had more than five years to serve. He has nerve and confidence in the people of his State. Both Senators will be can- didates before the primary for Till- man’s seat and the fight will be live- ly, but. in no way close. Tillman will win and should win, for he is a Democrat, while McLaurin favors almost every doctrine of the Repub- lican party and has bolted the Dem- ocratic caucus of the Senate. ———— In the appointment of a State Board of Elections Governor Aycock selected four western men and one fromthe east. The following com- pose the board: Wilson G. Lamb, of Martin county, chairman;}Robert T. Claywell, of Burke; R. A. Daughb- ten of Alleghany; A. B. Freeman, of Henderson, and Clarence Call, of Wilkes. Under the law “three Democrats were appointed and two Republicans. Governor Aycock fol- iowed the recommendations of Dem- ocratic State ‘Chairman Simmons and Republican Chairman Pritchard.

To quote the decision: _ “Weare of the opinion that the islacdof Porto Rico is a territory appurtenant and belonging to the United States, but not a part of the United States within the revenue clause of the constitution; that he Foraker act is constitutional so far as it imposes duties upon imports from such island and that the plain- tif cannot recover back the duties 2xacted {a this ease.” This decision {s far reaching ia its eoasequences. Under it the Demo- eratic slogan, **The constitution fol- lows the flag,’ is exploded. The United States can hold colonies like the governments of the Old World, and prescribe different laws for their government than those governing the States. This decision stamps with the approval of the highest court in the land the imperialistic acts and doctrines of the Republican President and Congress. > 2 ee A Fanatic in Madison County Causesa ;¥Young Methodist Preacher to go Crazy. A correspendent from Elon Col- lege writes that on a recent trip in western North Carolina he stopped in Madison county wherea man nam- ed McCanlees and his wife have been holding-meetings for several months past.From what I could gather they preach santifieation and miraculous performances that would put Crump- ler and others down East far be- hind. NcCanless struck camp some five or six weeks ago ten or twelve miles from Marshall, and his Baptist breth- r2n not taking kindly to his extreme views, he wormed himself into the good graces of Rev. Mr. Triplett, the young pastor of the Marshall circuit. Mr. Triplett had ibeen in poor health for several months, and be- cameinfatuated with the strange doctrines preached by McCanless— or was hynotized by him; many peo- ple in the neighborhood believe the latter, and McCanless would have Triplett remain at the church at night after the congregations was gone until 12 to2 o’clock, and one night they were at the church all night long praying for the santifica- tion of Mr. Triplett. Loss of sleep and nervous strain under which he was laboring, caused Mr. Triplett’s mind to become un- hinged; and he was taken to the Hos- pital at Morganton last week for treatment. Several others in the neighborhood are said to be on the verge of mental break-down asa result ofattending McCanless’ meet- ing. McCanless is unquestionably a hypnotist, and says the power is the workings of the Holy Spirit. Iwas credibly informed that he, on several occasions, prostrated himself on the floer, groaned and agonized for half an hour, and then jumped tohis feet and claimed to have been crucified just as Christ was and called on all to say “‘amen’’ who believed it. : He made Mr, Triplett believe that fire could not burn him, and as a re- Sult, Rev. Mr. Triplett is suffering véry much from 4 burned hand. A JUROR, IN THE LONG CASE Deaton at the noon recess oh Satur- day. Affiant told Ramsey he ought to get something out of this, and Ramsey said, “‘there is no trouble about that, I'}! take care of myself.” Affiant told Ramsey that affiant could not afford to take money, that revenge wouldsatisfy him. Affiant states that as soon as he separated from Ramsey he communicated the foregoing facts to plaintiff ’s attorn- eys, and that he acted a part to 1n- duce Ramsey to divulge his purpose. There were affidavits of W. Turner, J. A. Hartness, S. L. Parks and probably others stating that Ramsey and Deaton were together from the adjournment of court in the afternoon untilthe aight ses- sion convened. JUROR BROWN:AND LAW~AGENT GOR- £HAM. From the affidavits of Lee S. Over man, W.D. Turner P. D. Walker, C.B. Watson, J. A. Hartness, C. W. Boshamer, R. E. Arwifield, Leon Clarke,, J. F. Bowles, 8S. L. Parks, G. B. Nicholson, C. S. Tomlin and probably others, it was shown thet after Friday night’s session of court Juror J. H. Brown and Law Agent J. A. Gorham were seen talking to- gether for along time ia front of Liotel Iredell; that while they were talking together L. C. Caldwell came up and spoke to them; that Gorham got up and went into the hotel where he and Caldwell spoke to each other, that Caldwell then went down ta the St. Charles Hotel, where he sat down and talked for a short time be- fore going home; that Gorham left the hotel and walked up to the bank corner and that he came beck and resumed his conversation with Brown; that about 11 o’clock Brown cross.d the street from the hotel and stood for two or three minutes, while Gorham entered the hotel of- fice and started up the stairway; that Brown recrossed'to ike hotel and joined Gorham on the stairway; that they went together to Gorham’s room, No. 18, on the third floor, en- tered, closed the door and almost immediately blew out the light; that Lawyers Overman and Walker and Watson followed to the door of Gor- ham’s room, knocked and ‘received no answer; that shortly afterwards the knock was repeated and still no response; that John F. Bowles and George B. Nicholson secured room No, 16, immediately opposite Gor- ham’s room, where they remained all night without sleeping; that said Bowles and Nicholson saw Juror Brown go out of Gorbam’s room about 7 o'clock Saturday morning: that in a short time Gorham started outof bisroom, but when he saw Nicholson, he dodged back into his room, where he remained fora short time and then came out and went down stairs; that Brown did not register at the hotel, but told R. E. Armfield, the hotel clerk; that he would settle for the bed before leav- ing town; that Gorham reported to said Armfield that Brown had spent the nigbt inhis room and that he (Gorham) did not know that Brown was a juror until he (Brown) told him: The above is the substance of the affidavits of the witnesses named. ~ ANSWERS OF RESPONDENTS. Monday morning just after court convened the answers of respon- dents were read. L. C. Caldwell denied ever talking with apy member of jury about the ease. He stated that his conversa- tion with Ramsey, testified to inafii- davits of Grawley, Bowles and oth- ers, was in reference to a suit which be was defending fo* Ramsey for the recovery of real estate, and that the Long case was not mentioned. He denied in detailall of the allegations in theaffidavits of plaintiff’s wit- nesses touching any wrong doing or his part. He was corroborated in several particulars by affidavits of J. F. Gamble and Harry P. Grier Esqs. Affidavits of 25 or 30 of our good eitizens testifying to Caldwell’s good character were read. R. A. Ramsey admitted being with R. V. Brawley, but denied that he made any criminsting ad- missions to him. He corroborated Caldwell in that Caldwel} had not talked to him about the Long case, but that their conversation was entirely concerning Ramsey’s own ease which Caidwell was de- fending for him. He said that Brawley was drunk on Pridav night. Two other affidavits stated that Brawley was iutoxicated on that night. J. A..Gorhamadmittedth:' heand Juror Brown had been tove:ber for sometime infrontof thehvtel. He said that Brown said that be (Brown) was sick and tired and that be believ- ed would stay at the hotel that night instead of yoing to hisstopp- ing place, a mile away. Gorham then told Brown that he could stuy in his room, as there weretwo owls there. He said that Brown accepted the of fer and that they spent night together. Hestated that the Long case was not mentioned tetween them at any time duriag the night. Several gentlemen testified to Gor- ham’s good character. J. H. Brown also admitted talking with Gorham and spending the night with bim, but he c»rroborated Gor- bam fully ia that neither had men- tioned the Long case. _At the opening of court Monday morning plaintiff's attorneys stated that they would not ask for judg- ment againstJuror B. C. Deator, as there was no evidence that he had done anything wrong. SENSETION IN COURT. WITHDRAWN ANDJA;MISTRIAL HAD. A Rule forContemp’ Served on Five Persons—Tkree Found Guilty of Contempt and Two Discharged. When we went to press last week the case of B, F. Long, administra- tor, vs. the North Carolina Railroad and the State University Railroad for killing his son was on trial. The testimony was concluded Friday afternoon. At the conclusion of the testimony Judge Brown said that he was inclined to charge the jury that if they believed the evi- dence the railroad was guilty of negligence and that young Mr. Long was not guilty of contributory neg- ligence, leaving the oulv question to be argued to the jury the amount of damages, but that be would hear defendants’ counsel Saturday morn- ing. Friday afternoon Platt D. Walker, Esq., of Charlotte, opened the argument for plaintiff but did notconclude atthe afternoon session. A short session was held at night. Mr. Walker concluded bis argument Saturday morning. The counsel for defendants then argued against the proposed charge of the judge to the jury. At the conclusion of such argument Judge Brown annouaced that he would charge the jury as indicated theday before, and court adjourned for dinner, ANOTHER MISTRIAL. When court re-convened after the noon recess Saturday Judge Brown said from the bench that he was in- formed that J. H. Brown one of the jurors, had spent the night with J. A. Gorham, thelaw agent of the Southern Railway, in Gorbam’s room in Hote! Iredell, and that this was not denied by either Brown or Gorham. In view of this fact, Judge Brown stated he would withdraw a juror and make a mistrial as he would not suffer a ease to be determined in his court in which there was such a strong sus- picion of fraud. A RULE FOR CONTEMPT. Oa motion of plaintiff’s attorneys Judge Brown issued aruleon L C. Caldwell, Esq., one of the defendants” counsel; Law Agent J, A. Gorbam; R. A. Ramsey, and Jurors J. H. Brown and B.C. Deaton to appear before him atnine o'clock on Mon- day and show cause why they should not be attached for contempt of court. These persons were recog- nized to appear Monday. CALDWELL, RAMSEY AND DEATON. The rule was issued on Messrs. Caldwell, Ramsey and Deaton on the following allegations contained in alfidavits: Jobo F. Bowles testified that while argument was going on Friday afternoon Respondents Cald- welland Ramsey talked together in front of Schiller’s furniture store and at the foot of the stairs leading to Caldwell's office, that they finally left toge.her going towards the eourt house and affiants following them; that affiiant heard Caldwell say to Ramsey as they parted near the court house yard, ‘‘Now, Bob, be careful,’’ and they parted, Cald- well going in the direction of his bome and Ramsey stationing him- self near one of the exits from the court house yard; that the jurors were just coming outof the court house and that Ramsey joined Juror B. C. Deaton, when the two went off together to a barroom; that Ram- sey remained with Deaton walking about and talking with him until the night session of court; that affi- ant reported what he had seen in the afternoon to plaintiff’s attorneys; that 3 short while after the night session convened Ramsey came into the court room and tried to attract the attention of Attorney L. C. Cald- well, failing, went out in a short time. R. V. Brawley testified that Fri- day evening about sunset he was in- formed by counsel for plaintiff that R. A. Ramsey and B. ©. Deaton, one of the jury, had been in conversa- tion near Morrison’s beef market for some time, and that said counsel requested him to try to ascertain what Ramsey was doing, and as to whether he wes trying to tamper with the juror. Affiant was told by said counsel that it was the duty of a good citizen to Getectsuch miscon- duct if he could, and affiant felt that way himself. That he joined Ram- sey and Deaton, who were talking together, and asked them to go with him to a nearby barroom and get a drink. Deaton declined, saying he had just had one, but Ramsey and affiant went to the barroom where affiant tcok a very small drink and Ramsey adrink. They then rejoin- ed Deaton and Deaten and Ramsey commenced to talk about the war After talking a little while affiant proposed another drink, and he and Ramsey went to the barroom where afbant took ginver pop and Ramsey whiskey. They returned to Deaton, and Ramsey and Deaioa continuea their talk about the war. Whenaf fiant and Ramsey first ieft Deaton to go to the barroom, Ramsey turn ed back to Deaton and sa‘d, ‘‘Deat on, if you won't go don’t talk.’’ Af- terthe second drink affiant told Ramsey that Ben Long had prose cuted his brother and affiant would like to get even with him, and that Long ought to lose his ease. Ram sey slapped affiant on the shoulder the and said, “That’s all_right, and| The four other respondeuts denied that’s whatI am here for. [ have !in the strongest terms an, wrong no other business here except that. I told youl was talking war with Deaton when you came up, but I was not. We were talking about this case, and I think Deaton is all right, but you live here in town and you would have influence over him, and I know with your help that we can get him all right, and there’s thous- ands in it if we can do it.” Affiant saidtohim. ‘Thisis very danger- ous, and you remember what the judge said.”’ He said, ‘‘yes, but Deaton’s all right and there will be no danger.’’ Affiant then said he would like to kave counsel and asked Ramsey how would L. C. Caldwell doing, or proposed wrong doing. REPLICATION OF PROSECUTION. After the answers of respondents were read time was given the prose- cution toreply. There were several affidavits in replication. A large number of our best citizens testified to the good character of R. V. Braw- ley and stated that he was perfectly sober on Friday night. In fact, it appears that he wasin no way in- toxicated, but pretended to be in order to entrap Ramsey. Two afii- davits stated that Ramsey’s charac- ter was not good. D. <A. Miller,one of the jurors, testified that B. F. do?

That the said Brown went to Gor- bam’s room, and that it shou!d cost him nothing—Gorbam saying that it cost him nothing. 4th—That scoa after, within afew minutes, after the said parties went to said room, three of plaintitf’s at- torneys who had been advised of such preceedings, went to the said room, knocked upon the door twice and received no response. ‘That the next morning about 7 o'clock Juror Brown went down to the hotel clerk and stated that he had occupied a bed in room No. 18 and would pay forit before leaving court. That said Brown had not registered. That shortly after Brown left room 18, Gorbam opened the door to start down, and saw Geo. B. Nicholson, one of plaintiff’s counsel, standing inthe hallway, and dodyzed back That he shortly afterwards went down Stairs and told the hotel clerk that Brown head staid in tne night before but also said that he did not know he was:a juror till be (Brown) told him. Tne court finds as a fact that said Gorham and said Brown knew each other as juror and law agent, before avy of said couversations or actions took place. “6th—The court finds as a fact that the object and purpose of the said J. A. Gorham and J. H. Brown was to improperly and unlawfully influence the verdict of the said J. Hf. Grown in favor of the defendant in the said cause on trial. “Tth—As to Juror Deaton, by con- sent of all parties, the rule is dis charged. “Sth—As to L. C. Caldwell and as to his conversation with R. A. Ram- sey and Juror Brown and his con- nection with J. A. Gorham at the hotel the court is not able to find as afact that said L. C. Caldwell had any unlawiul or corrupt or wrong ful purpose and the rule as to him is therefore discharged. “Upon the foregoing facts itis ad- judged that J.-A. Gorham, J. H. Brown and R. A. Ramsey are zuilty of the gross contempt of this court and have attempted to pervert the course of justice and to obstruct the enforcement of the civilremedies and rights of the plaintiff in the civil action pending in this court, where- inB. F. ,Long. administrator, is plaintiff and the North Carolina Railroad Co. et. al. are defendants in the following particulars: ‘‘First—That the said respondent J. A.

Ostwalt Wednesday morning told TuE Mas cot of the discovery of an old Indian burying ground that the recent flood on the Catawba had uncovered on the banks of the river. Wednesday evening a representa- tive of this paper with five other young men visited the old grave yard which is on the lands of C. Kes- er and Mrs. Setzer about_ one half mile from Setzer’s fishery It lies within 100 feet ofeth2 river bank ard covers apparently a plat of ground about 150 feet by 250, part of this is still under water. Two or three feet of the top soil was washed off by the river, and some of the graves were discovered in this way. The graves appear tobe ia a circular form aud not more than three or four feet indiameter. Those which were examined had been filled with sand which is still several feet deep over the bonesof the good Indians. In almost every instance the bones are So badly decay as to crumble on ex- posure to heair. The bodies ap pear to have been interred with the face to the east and not at full length but but with the limbs drawn up over the body Tomahawks, Indian axes, pipes, beads and two complete clay vessels have been taken from the graves There isn’t even a tradition in the community asto this Indian grave yard. The land has been cultivated for years. _ In the river at this point is a large island—now torn to pieces by the freshet—that may have sheltered a village of the Catawbas in the hap py days before the pale faces came and drove them away; and across on the mainland these true Americans may have burried their dead. In some gruves more than one body is found, and judging from the bones, some of the skeletons were those of menand some of women, but their life story willever be oneof the un- written histories of ourland. ee ae = ~—— wee = sali pater ii Tic PERSONALS Mr. Jno, Sloop was in Davidson | yesterday.

A steady fall of nearly 48 hours, culminating yesterday afternoon ina cloud-burst. near Round Knob, wrought havoc along the Catawba valley: last night, when the flood broke all records. The Catawba river at Morganton was 31 feet a bove low water, t+feet higher than ever beforerecorded. Thetwohand- some steel bridges at McDowell’s ford and on the Lenoir road were sweptaway about 11 o'clock last night. These bridges cost about $15,000. ‘Lhe stone piers at the up- per oridge were demolished and the tubalar piers supporting the lower bridge toppled over, when the bridge went down. There was a heavy washout on the Souther Railway at Silver creek at Bridgewater and much damage 1s reported on the mountain division. Two houses at Bridgewater, one near Glen Alphine and one just be- low Morganton, were swept away. No passenger trains have reached Morganton to-day and telegraph and telephone communication to the westward is interrupted. No loss oflife is reported through details from the upper valley, where the heaviest rains fell, are wanting. All along the valley of the Catawba and its tributaries the wheat and corn fields are submerged and covered with mud and a conservative esti- mate of the damage wrought in Burke county alone is $100,000. CLIFFS HOTEL AFLOAT. Hickory Dispatch, 22nd. Thousands of dollars’ worth of damage have been done along the line of the Catawba river, which registered early this morning six feet higher than the highest water mark known by our oldest citizens. The greatest floods were on June 17th, 1876, aud in September. 1899. when the water wasup tothe flocr of the Catawba toll-bridge, which at that time it was thought would be carried away every moment but underwent the great pressure. This morning at 2o’clock, when the water had reached a depth of from two to three feet inside of the driye-way, the his- torical bridge known far and near as the ‘“‘Catawba toll-bridge,’’ was car- ried away by the great current, tak ing part of the piliars and the long anchors which had been imbedded in the great masonry of the bridge, whica was first built 54 years ago and burned during the late war, but re-built in 1897 at a cost of about $4,000. The property was owned by a syndicate, the loss of which is a- bout $2,500. The bridge was almost anecgessity, being located on the main thoroughfaie leading from the lower counties through the north- westerao part of the State into Ten- nessee. There has been for the last few years 2 great effort upon the part of the Catawbians and the citizeas of the lower port of Caldwell county to have this bridge bought by the two counties and made free, which would have met the approval of all good citizens. Now as the bridge has gone and the structure will have to be built entirely new our business men will at once go to work through the Hickory ooard of trade to have the counties through their board to make arrangements with the proper- ty owners of the site and have a free bridge erected as early as possible. One million brick in their raw state were destroyed at the Poovey brickyard near the river. The Cliffs Hotel, which had just been completed and partly furnish- ed, was carried from its site down the river a distance of one-quarter of a mile, the first and second stories being entirely separated and the damages to the structure 1s serious. The Carolina & Northwestern Railroad is badly damaged between here and Lenoir, owing to the nu- mercus washouts. The track and trestles along the line of the Cataw- ba river, a distance of twoor three miles, are badly damaged. It will take several days to repair them. It may be at least t wo or three days be- fore trains can pass over the tracks. The passenger train to-day was turned back from the point onsched- ule time.

On the Spartanburg road, beyond Jendersonville, the tracks are torn to pieces for long distances. Trains are rucning regularly between Sal- isbury and Statesville. It is hoped that by tomorrow afternoon the schedule from here to Hendersonville ean be resumed. At Lick Log cut. on the top of the Blue Ridge, there is a washout of several hundred feet and at several places down the mountain there are washouts fully as long. Slides at various places bave cov- ered the tracks for hundreds of fect. No. 11,due here Monday, is still vetween the slides, and it is not ex- pected that it can be cleared before fate tomorrow. Work trains are working towards them trom Bilt- more and will not quit the work un- til the train is reached. There is 3nother wasbout at Old Fort, about 300 feet long. Onsome cf the fills the dirt has been washed away so that the track has sagged 20 feet in the middle. Robert’s fill, on the Asheyille & Spartanburg, has beca washed out, Tae fill is80 feet deep and more than that ia length. There have been 200 men employed in track work, but a number of them were taken off this morning to work on the Catawba bridge on the main line. The damage generally is far worse thaa at frst reported, especially to the crops and the fields. Many fer- tile bottom lands were entirely de- nuded of the soil and are totally worthless. THE CALDWELL LUMBER CO.’S BIG LOSS. Lenoir Dispatch, 23rd. i i % ‘tated to, pletely wiped out. sengers have been necessita ee es Jeft this af-} It poured here Monday and Tues- day almost continuously day aud night. Lenoir has since Tuesday afternoon acd up to the present writing been entirely cut off from all communication with the outside world, ai} telezraph and telephone lines being down and no trains on account of loss cr damage to nine trestles andtwo or three miles of track on the Catawba river between here and Hickory. Weare also cut off from travel by dirt road from Morganton and Hickory by the loss of two iron bridges in Burke and the toll bridge on the Hickory road, Older citizens here say this latter vridge was built not less than 60 years ago and that this has been the heaviest freshet for 75 years. Perhaps the heaviest single loss locally isthat of the Caldwell Lani and Lumber Company, which lost many thousandsof logs by the break- ing of their boom on John’s river, near Collertsville. The lowest esti- mates place their losses from $20,- 600 to £30,000. Zhe damage to farming land, ete., in this county is beyond estimation. DESTRUCTION IN MCDOWELL. Marion Dispatch, 23rd. Thestorm of Tuesday was the worst one that has ever occurred in this section of the State. A conser- vative estimate of damage done to property and crops in this (McDow- ell) county is $200,000. All crops aloug the water courses are entirely destroyed. Some small farms have been left absolutely worthless Four or five cloud-bursts occurred on the mountain above here, washing away houses, barns and mills. So far as kuown no lives were lust. The iron bridge over Crooked creek was wash- ed away and one over Mudcy creek wes badly damaged.

The Tennessee river reached the height of 35 9 at this place this ef- ternoon at 3o0'clock and is slowly falling. Its tributaries in upper east Tennessee, where the greatest loss has resulted from the flood, have rapidly receded, revealing wreckage of houses and bridges and ruined crops. The loss of life thus far re- ported from all portions of the flood- ed district acgregates fourteen. At Knoxville the flood did no great amount of damage. Thelarg est vessel plying the Tennessee riv- er above Chattanooga was totally wrecked. Thesteamer was docked for repairs to her hull. The flood had nearly submerged the boat when a loosened raft of logs crushed her into kindling wood and sent the wreckage floating away. Traffic on the Southern Railway via Bristo! aud over the Norfolk & Westerr Railway is seriously interfered with. The Southern hopes to handie trains by Asheville and Spartanburg to and from the East tomorrow. 1,200 PEOPLE HOMELEssS, Elizabethtown, Teun., Dispatch, 23rd.

King Barely Escapes From the Wreck of Shamrock. Ihe Cowes, Eng., Dispatch, 24th. A sudden frrious squall partially wrecked Sir Thomas Lipton’s two yachts, Shamrock Land Il this aft- ernoon and placed in jeopardy the life of Great Britian’s monarca, King Edward VII. Full prepara- tions had been made for theday’s spin. King Edward came down from London on 2 special trainin the early morning. Hehad boarded atender at Southampton and had been carried out to the Challenger, and bad been placed on_ her deck. The weather was good, a fine racing wiod prevailed. and soon a¥‘ter the King’s arrival the two Shamrocks began manoeuverins about for a start. With little warning a terrific squall swooped down the Solent. lt struck both yachts with full force. For afew moments they withstood the storm’s fury, then the mains- mast of the Challenger broke below the gaff, carrying everything down to her deck ina heap. At the same moment Shamrock I's top saii blew away. near the steru. Wich others he dodged the falliag hamer ani escap- edinjury. There was tremendous excitement ashore when the vews of the accident and the Monarci’s dan- ger reached them. Docks were soon viack with peo- ple anxious for news of the King. Sir Thomas Lipton’s steam yacht Erin and seyeral other scam ves- sels rushed out to tke relief of the wrecked yachts. The boats were soon in tow and headed for the harbor. The news of the King’s sa‘ety was soon brought to the shere and he was received by the anxicus crowd with cheers. Shamrock Il drifired down the So- lent after the acrident, looking like a total wreck. Her sails and spars are apparently ruined through ber hull is probably uninjured. The gail is broken and the bowsprit wrenched. It will probably r: quire several weeks to make repairs. Shamrock I behaved much better than herrival, in the blow. Her spars and stays heid only the top sail blowing in the rivoons. The King, Sir Thomas Lipton and other guests aboard the Ckallenver re- turned to the Eriu after the <acci- Gent.

The party included John Weldon, 3 Maryland hunter, who withina few minutes after the discovery of the bodies, shot and killed the bsar in a neighboring thicket. The chil- dren were Mary, aged 3, Willie aged 5, and Henry, aged 7. Shortly aft- er aoon Sunday they left home to gather flowers in aclearing near their home. Nothing more is known dut it is supposed that they wander- ed into the wouds and becoming lost continuedopn their way until they were overtaken by the bear in the Gense forest three miles from their parent’s home. Tke bear feasted off all three of the bodies. The bones of the children had been crushed like straws and the flesh stripped off with teeth and claws. The party divided and be- gan a search, Within a few minutes Weldon discovered it in a thick clump of hemlock saplings neara small stream. A_ singleshot ended its life.

He was staying at a house ‘in the West country, near whicha narrow. winding lane Jed, between high, perpendicular banks, to the top ofasmall hill. The other guests in the house were young and aggres- ‘sive, and the old gentleman grew tired of the swaggering and reckless drinking and betting of young Eng- land.

The writer also has tidings to tell about afamous jockey who was,so the tale goes, entertained last year at many of the famous country houses whes2 owners had strong sporting proclivities. The jockey appreciated the henorand paid bigh for it. Betting was higb, among piayers who could alferd to lose. The jockey was determined to ride a winner and plunged absurdly. On one occasion he lost, during a week’s visit, £3,000, and ca his last visit to an Engtish country place, be parted with $17,000.- ‘‘The piav,’’ says the teller of this tale, ‘‘was strictly on the square, and if the loser had not been an idict he would not have tost more than a few hundred pounds.”’ _ Skin affections will readily disap- pear by using DeWitt’s Witch Salve.
