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 Great Caison Destroyed.
Newberno Journal.
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.

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.

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

&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.
