SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1891. A BLOODY MELEE. THE RESULT OF THE SCANDAL AT LINCOLNTON. The Betrayer of Miss Maggie Motz Attacked by Her Brothers—A Number of Pistol Shots Fired and One Man Killed. Special to the News and Observer. Lincolnton, N. C., July 11. A few weeks ago a sensation wv created here by a rumor connecting the name of Evangelist W. P Fife with that of a young lady of highly respectable name who had given birth to a child. The young lady, Miss Maggie Motz, of this place, had been converted under Evangelist Fife, aDd had also been at his meetings at other points afterwards. At the time the rumor came o«t, Mr. Fife was just opening a series of meetings in Greensboro. An investigation of the affair was held there by a committee, and the evidence so clearly exonerated Evangelist Fife that a committee adopted a resolution expressing their disbelief of the story and their con fidence in Mr. Fife’s Christian char acter. The young lady herself wrote a letter exonerating him. She subse quently charged the paternity of the child to Robert Michael, of this place, and to-day Michael was attacked by the three brothers of the woman,who demanded marriage or blood. A bloody tragedy ensued. Several shots were fired, and in the melee Samuel Motz, a cousin of the brothers and a prominent citizen of Lincoln ton, was killed, and also his brother, Charley Motz, was shot. Robert Michael, the betrayer, was wounded in the hand. Four men were en gaged in the trouble. Samuel Motz, who was a cousin of the three brotners, was shot accidentally. Charles, John and Caldwell Motz were ar rested for the killing of Sam Motz The Emperor. to the News and Observer. London, July 11.—The Emperor of Germany remained at the State ball, given at Buckingham Palace, until 3 o’clock this morning. At 8 o’clock he breakfasted. He attended to business with his secretaries. He afterwards reviewed the Yeomen of the guard. The Emperor and Empress and their suites at 3 o’clock left London by rail for Wimblßton, tb witness the big event of the day, the review of England’s Volunteer soldiers. From Wimbledon Station the route to the parade ground was lavishly decora ted with flags and flowers in almost endless profusion. Early in the morning the British Volunteer regi ments and regiment sos regulars de tailed to assist in the parade began to arrive at Wimbledon from all di rects is. Crowds of people from London and the country walked to wards Wiiroleton and the common and Creedmoor began to take up favorable positions from which to see the troops. The volunteer soldiers seemed to be c , etern> i ned to make as good a showing as they could before the Emperor, who had been reported to have remarked that he did not care to see “tradesmen masquerading as soldiers.” The weather was glorious. The detachments of life guards, horße guards, dragoons, lancers, hus sars and artillery arrived early in the day, and those picked cavalrymen were soon followed by the regular infantry of the line and after them came the Grenadier Guards, Cold Stream Guards and Scott’s Fusilier Guards. If these really fine troops were well received by the crowds which had by that time gathered in the Wimbledon Bward, it was as rothing to the applause with which the gallant highland regiments,Eng land’s bonnie Scotts, marched to the front with bag pipes playing. By 2:30 p. m. all the regulars, numbering from 6,000 to 7,000 men, were in the positions assigned them, though volunteers were still pouring in living streams upon the common. The entire body of troops was under the supreme command of his Royal Highness, the Duke of Cambridge, commander in chief of the British Army, and the troops were estimated at about 16,000 volunteers and about 7,000 regulars. This force was divided into two brig ades of infantry under the command of the Duke of Connaught and of Sir Evylyr Wood, K. C. 8., respectively. At 4 o’clock artillery thundered out a salvo and tbe German Imperial Standard was run up on the flig-staff at the reviewing stand in place of the British Standard, and almost imme diately afterwards the Emperor of Germany, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and Staff, in brilliant uni forms and followed by an escort of the Life Guards, dashed up to the saluting point and pro ceeded to inspect the British regu lars and volunteers. After this in spection, which seemed to impress the Emperor with a favorable opinion of the soldiers’ equipment, the ruler of Germany rode back to the starting point. As soon as the Empeior was seated in front of this point, with the Duke of Cambridge near him, and with their two staffs behind, the march past commenced and lasted an hour and a half.

The contractors on the new mam moth light house off Hatteras have about completed the foundation, which goes down seventy feet. Its erection is probably the greatest engineering feat in lighthouse con struction the world has ever known. In laying the foundation, which was ■ the most difficult part of the under taking, the builders have been very fortunate in having little heavy weather. The light stands out at sea nine miles and will cost about half a million dollars to complete it. News reached the city that the storm Wednesday night overturned the great caison inside of which the work was being carried on and swept away all the pumping machinery. The loss is thought to be about $75,- 000 and will necessitate the construc tion of another before further work can be done. Klee trie Hitters.

INCREDIBLE STORIES OF SAV AGE CRUELTY. Unfortunate Sailors Stranded off Cape Horn Meet With Terrible Experiences. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Phittsbuhg, Me., July 11.—Capt. Joseph Perry, of the barkentine Hustler, has just arrived home from a long sea vovage. The Hustler was launched in Baltimore last Novem ber, sailed for Philadelphia, thence for Seattle with a cargo of iron pipe. While going round the Cape of Good Horn bad weather was encountered, and the vessel was wrecked on a sunken rock in Nassau Bay, forty miles west of Decoit Island. The orew left on boats with nothing but what they stood in, rowed to an island ninety miles distant, on which there was a missionary station called Ushurvia, with several English mis sionaries and station for the relief of shipwrecked crews kept by the Argen tine Republic, which also sends its prisoners there. The Captain says five of the men who started across the country from Sandy Point bound for missionary station were captured by savages, bound to the trees and fires built around them, when one of the men managed to get his hands free and drawing a revolver, shot one of the Indians, which so frightened the rest of them that they ran and the men escaped. After having spent 25 days in this locality, they left for Buenos Ayres. Thence they went to Southampton, England, from there to New York, and thence home to Maine. GEORGE OR BARKSDALE. Close Heats Being- Run in the Mis sissippi Senatorial Race. Jackson, Mias., July 10.—The fight for the Mississippi Senatorship goes bravely od, and the opposing factions led on one side by Senator George, and on the other by Barks dale, are daily growing more bitter and vindictive. Such a campaign has not been experienced in Missis sippi since the war, unless it was in 1876, when this same Barksdale measured swords with the late, O. R. Singleton. In that contest the legislature balloted nine days, with Barksdale in the lead every ballot and lacking only half a dozen votes of success. At la3t, for the sake of harmony, he withdrew, and threw his support to Gen. George, who was nominated. These two are now stumping the State as leaders of opposing factions, George being indorsed by the towns and anti-sub treasury advocates, while Barksdale is supported by the Alliance, standing squarely on the Ocala platform. Two weeks since tu6 latter seemed to have the inside track, and the friends of Senator George became alarmed. The result was a more active canvass on their aide, so that during the past week most of the county conventions have indorsed Senator George. Os instructed votes Barksdale has to date only seven to thir y-four for George. mm Total Visible Supply of Cotton. By Telegraph to the News and Observer.

Oak wood Cemetery—A Chapel Needed. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Raleigh Ceme tery Association held on Friday, Jnne 10th, the following resolution was, after full discussion, unani* mously adopted. Resolved, That it is very desirable to have a neat chapel erected near the centre of Oakwood Cemetery for the purpose of occasional funerals and as a place of refuge in case of a storm at the time of a burial, &c., and that each lot holder bo ri ques ted to contribute for this end; and that public spirited citizens be ap pealed to to increase the fund by subscriptions for said purpone. While the resolution is a efficiently explicit in its terms, it was deemed proper for the President to call at tention to the importarce of its ob ject in a brief communication in the morning papers. When Oakwood Cemetery was first laid out, it was thought advisable that a chapel should be e r ected in it as soon as practicable and a suitable site was selected, which was designa ted, and is still known, as “chapel circle.” The association has never been able to build the chapel—all of its funds, ovei current expenses, being applied to the debt incurred for the purchase of the land. About the time the original debt was paid off, the association, with an eye to the needs of the fntnre, incurred another by purchasing additional land, and this it will take years to extinguish, even with the greatest economy; and nothing ciia be appro priated to the erection of the chapel. That such a building i s needed must be apparent to all. Bodies are frequently brought here from a dis tance for burial, and it would be a great convenience to have such a place for their deposit for a few hourr. Occasional funerals mig 't be held there; it would be a very converties t rofrge from storm 3 which some ime occur at time of funeral:; -md f k pt always opea during the d y it wouiu be an agreeable retreat for tin se vis iting the gi avea of their friends ar d needirg rest, It is thought that a b riding -ucl as is needed, for the pu > :e3 ind n ted, can be erected for about $2 000 It should, of course, be neat and tasteful—an ornament to the grounds Under one end nrght be prepar d a small basement room f >r the s orni of tools belongiEg to the Association,. &o. We owe to the memory of our be loved dead to make the place where their bodies sleep as attractive as we can. Oakwood Cemetery is still, and for years to come will continue to be the principal place of resort for those who need the recreation of an after noon walk or drive. Let all good citizens add to its attractiveness, by aiding according to their several abil ity in the building of this chapel. The Directors of the Association without the slightest pecuniary profit to themselves or the stockholders, present or prospective, give of their time and attention to me care and iimrovement of the cemetery, and they ask lot owners and others who would evince respect tor rbo dead, to contribute to the convenience of the living and make Oakwood an honor to oar little city, to help this praise worthy undertaking.
