Nashville, Tenn., July 14.—A *
lynching without any apparent ado- !

Central Railroad, Dacota county, ]
Miss. The victim was a negro named i
Samuel Gillepsie. Gillepsie was ar- 1
rested yesterday evening for rescuing
another negro charged with larceny 1
from an officer. Instead of taking
Gillespie to Hernando county seat,
and lodging him in jail, Deputy
Sheriff Eider, who had charge of
him, concluded to keep him confined
in the room at Love until this morn
ing. About midnight a mob of 1
maeked men forced an entrance to 1
the room, took charge of the negro, j
marched him to a tree a short £ dis- 1
tance away, tied him and shot him to 1
death. The corpse was found with 1
twenty-one bullet holes in different 1
parts of his body. The coroner held <
an inquest, the result of which was a 1
verdict that the deceased was shot 1

espie was regarded as a bad negro. 1
He had a fight with a white man 1

RALEIGH. N. C., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 15, 1891.
IN THE BUCKEYE STATE
THE CONVENTION TO BE
CALLED TO ORDER
TO-DAY.
Yesterday Devoted to Committee
Meettmrs and Outdoor Demon
strations—Gov. Campbell Will be
Given a Lively Contest.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Cleveland, 0., July 14.—Al
though the Democratic State Con
vention was announced to meet on
July 14 and continue in session two
davg, the programme provides that
today is to be devoted to committee
meetings and outdoor demonstra
tions; and that the convention is not
to commence in formal session until
tomorrow.
Chairman Norton, of the State
Central Committee, will then call
the Ohio Democrats to order and in
troduce Allan W. Thurman, son of
the Ohio leader, as the temporary
chairman of the convention.
The discussion of politicians is still
all directed to the Governor. While
Campbell’s nomination on the first
ballot is still as reasonably certain as
any future event, the Neal and Kline
factions have by no means given up
the contest. It is now evident that
the opposition intend to make it as {
lively as possible for Gov. Campbell
in the convention, whatever the result
may be, and many conservative party
leaders fear that such strife and ran- I
cor may be engendered as to imperil
the success of the ticket in the com
ing campaign. The discussion over
the platform still continues, and it
is evident that the silver free ooinage
men will only win after a brisk fight.
Ex-Congressman A. J. Warner, and
other prominent free coinage men
are on the ground, insisting that
party suocess can only be insured by
the Convention declaring for free
and unlimited coinage of silver; but
they are being vigorously opposed by
Congressman Harter, and other
equally prominent Democrats. Stren
uons attempts will be made to settle
all differences on the financial ques
tion in the committee on resolutions,
and prevent the subject from being
debated in the Convention. But this
probably can only be done by the
adoption of the free coinage plank;
as the indications are that the free
coinage men are largely in the ma
jority.

Denver, Col., July 14.—-A spe
cial to the Rocky Mountain News
from Flagstaff, Ariz , says: A sheep
herder arrived at this place last
night with information that the Na-
were gathering in vast
numbers and seemed to be greatly
excited and are preparing to resist
any attempt on the part of the gov
ernment to arrest the leaders in their
raids on cattle and sheep ranges in
this vicinity. They have warned
stockmen to leave their imaginary
territory to them, threatening their
lives if they do not do so; and it is
thought by the people that this is the
commencement of the expected out
break more
citizens left here last night to rein
force Sheriff Francis and his posse
of cowboys and telegrams have been
forwarded to the Governor asking
troops to be ready to come at once.
Tne sheriff issued warrants for the
arrest of the chief and others, but
it is believed that they will only suc
ceed in making trouble, as they are
only a handful to so many well
armed Indians.
A Large Failure.

Pittsburg, Pa., July 14.—A ru

at one million dollars. It was learned
that the firm had concluded to wind

an extension on its obligations to
prevent sacrifice. Their creditors
will not lose a dollar, as the assets
are nearly two dollars to one of the
liabilities. Nimiok’s other interests

KANSAS ALLIANCE.
About to Split on the Sub-Treasury
Bill.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Chicago, July 14 —A special from
Topeka, Kansas, says: Indications
are that the alliance will split on the
sub-treasury scheme. The action of
the Texas Convention is the general
topic of conversation and the views
of alliance leaders are very diverse.
President McGath of this State is
lukewarm on the sub-treasury plan
and in sympathy with the Missouri
Alliance and President U. S. Hall,
in his fight on Dr. McCune. Dr.
McLallin, editor of the Alliance Ad
vocate, declares that the Texas Con
vention does not represent the Al
liance in that State. The President
has revoked the commissions of
those leoturers who signed the call
for the convention. Dr. McLallin
declares that the Kansas Alliance is
practically a unit on the Bub-treas
ury plan, while others of the Alliance
leaders say that only one of the State
lecturers is making a fight for it.
MYSTERIOUS* SUICIDE IN
BOSTON.
A Woman Registers as Mrs. J.
Clifford, of Charleston, S. C.
Boston, July 13.—The death at
the Victoria Hotel last Saturday of
Mrs. J. Clifford, of Charleston, S.
0., is believed to have been a case of
snicide, because the keyholes and
window crevices of the room were
stopped up with towels and newspa
pers and two gas fixtures were left
open. The deceased is described as
being a beautiful blonde with a pre
possessing manner. She registered
on Wednesday afternoon, ami paid
the hotel charges in advance. Her
meals were^ served in her room, On
Thursday and Friday she sent out
for the New York newspapers, and
the bell-boy states that after eagerly
reading them she cist them aside
and wept hysterically. It is thought
that she did not register her real
name and address.
The woman left in her room a scrap
of paper containing the following:
“When we consider life, ’tis all a cheat,
But fooled by hope, men favor the deceit.”
Central Park—Ah ! how well for
them who die ere they are born.
Prospect Park—Dear Mr. R., if
you”
From thenames of these parks and
the fact that the lady sent out for
New York papers it ia believed that
she belonged in New York or B ook
lyn. Dispatches sent to Charleston
about her have not been answered.
Au Indian DisturDauce.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Chicago, J uly 14,—A special from
White Earth Minn., says: The situa
tion here is so Berions that it is feared
Gen. Merritt will have to send troops
to the reservation at White Earth
to prevent riot and possible mas
sacre.
The Chippewas have been in revolt
for several weeks. A delegation of
Leech Lake Indians arrived here
Saturday and joined in a wild dance
with the White Earth red men. The
police, alarmed at the threatening
outlook, and to stop the dance, tore
down the hall in which the orgies
were taking place.
The Indians, highly incensed, held
meetings with a view to revenge.
The dissatisfaction of the Indians
arises from the tardiness of the Chip
pewa commission in the matter of
allotment of land and the non-pay
ment by the government of several
hundred thousand dollars damage
occasioned by big overflows in the
construction of the Upper Mississippi
reservoirs.
Chief White Cloud is on the ground
trying to prevent an outbreak,though
he has written the Interior Depart
ment that his tribe will not submit
to the payment of anything except
money for their ruined rice fields.

TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIES.
Will the New Law Be Enforced?
A Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican writes: It is
stated at the Department of Justice
that the instructions given to United
States district attorneys since the de
cision of Judge Key in the Tenncs
se, case were given in the ordinary
course of department business and
without any special consultation in
the cabinet. The letters of instruc
tion were brief and merely directed
attention to Judge Key’s decision
for the information of the district
attorneys in prosecuting other cases.
The only other action taken in the
Tennessee cas9 was an injunction re
straining a combination for controll
ing the sale of coal from continuing
its operations in inter-State com
merce. The process waß a civil one,
and did not undertake to enforce the
criminal provisions of the anti-trust
act, imposing penalties and forfeiture
of goods. If the administration is
in earnest in carrying out the law
against trusts, which has lain dor
mant for a year, there will be many
novel legal q restions to be considered
and decided.
Tne field is a new one for Federal
legislation, and one of the first ne
cessities of the case will be the defi
nition of the various kind 3 of com
binations which are declared illegal.
The Attorney-General will probably
seek assistance in framing his defini
tions from the old English statutes
against forestalling, regrating and
engrossing. Each of these methods
of controlling trade was declared il
legal by the statute 5 and 6, Edward
VI, chapter 14, which remained in
force until the liberal teachings of
Adam Smith and his contemporaries
resulted in their modification. The
new anti-trust is sweeping enough to
cover forestalling and engrossing in
every form, if not regrating, which
was simply selling goods to a mid
dleman to be sold over again.
“Every contract, combination, in the
form of trust or otherwise, or con
spiracy, in restraint of trade or com
merce among the several States or
foreign nations, is hereby declared to
be illegal,”—thus runs the new law.
It is probable that the Attorney
General and the district attorneys
will rest upon the statute in their
prosecution of the trusts. They will
go to the common law and to the
English statutes for assistance in in
terpreting the statute, but they will
probably not appeal to common Jaw
principles to give strength to their
cases. The common law, even if
fully enforced in fedeial courts,
would not perhaps be of great assist
ance in putting down the trusts, for
the English statute was so long in
force that decisions against forestall
ing, regrating and engrossing were
generally rested by the English courts
upon the statute rather than the
principles of the common law. It
was generally held, moreover, in
cases which came under the common
law that the law went no further in
its application than to victuals,
which were the necessaries of exist
ence. The manifold* demands cf
modern life might justify the broad
ening of the principal a little, but
would hardly extend to ail the com
binations which have had such a lux
uriant growth under the fostering
care of centralized power and class
taxation.

Extra Expense of the New Death
Penalty to Tax-Payers.
New York Morning Advertiser.
It cost the State over $5,000 to kill
the four men who were electrocuted
at Sing Sing last Tuesday.
The greatest single item of expense
in the new method of killirg was for
the electrical apparatus. The ma
chines in use at Sing Sing were man
ufactured by the Westiughouse Com
pany. They were boug it at second
hand, and the exact amount paid for
them has never been made public
These machines are sold when new
for $2,000. The Wesiinghouse peo
pie do not think that the amount ac
tually paid was more than half that
sum. This would make the cost of
the two killing machines at Sing
Sing $2,000. It costs the State more
to pay its electrical expert who takes
charge of the killing machines and
proparly charges them with electric
ity at the time of an execution than
it did in the old days to pay the hang
man. People familiar with the sub
ject say that it must have cost at
least SBOO to pay the expert who pre
pared the death currents for the Sing
Sing executions.
On August 23, 1889, there was a
quadruple hanging at the Tombs.
The men executed were Carolin,
Nolan, Packenham and Lewis. Their
execution cost the county $1,735 21,
or $683.80 per man. Os this sum
Executioner Atkinson received $325,
and the sheriff, for his fees, his dep
uties’ fees, and the death watch,
$2,000. Seventy-eight dollars was
paid for the certificate of execution,
and $132.21 for clothing for the
men. For the four men executed at
Sing Sing the expenses for physi
cians’ services, car fare of the twen
ty-two witnesses, who came from all
parts of the State, and clotbi ig, ex
ceeded the amount paid by this
county for sheriff, deputies, and death
watch.
The exact items of Executioner
Brown’s bill of expenses have not
been filed yet with the Superinten
dent of Public Prisons. The amount
is paid out of the general appropria
tion for prisons, and is paid by the
Superintendent’s draft on the Comp
troller.
