Leader Coxey Turns up Again in
Iliinoia.
Chicago, ni., Feb. 3.—Plans were
formulateii today at a largely attend
ed meeting of the Internationa! Wel
fare Association to concentrate all
the unemployed men and women in
tiie United States in a movement to
take to Washington !\ petition to Con
gress demanding a legal remedy’ for
'ihe industrial conditions of unorgan
ized laiwr.
While Jacob S. Coxey, leader of the
“On to Washington” army of 1894,
was present at the meeting it was an
nounced that present plans did not
call for a march of unemployed laftn
on the national capital. The scheme
dscided on today calls for a more
formal arrangement, but it will not
preclude any spontaneous movement
to Washington that may arise with
unemployed persons, leaders said.
A call was drawn up, to be sent to
all cities in the country asking that
unempioyed men and women organ-

Court.
Wilmington, Feb. S.—In Superior
Court, which began a two weeks’ term
yesterday, the case of B. F. Penny
against ^e Atlantic Coast Lina is be
ing tried again. It has been to the
Supreme Court strand ttaM and re
turned on technicailties. The ptain-
tiff is suing for $20,000 alleged dam
ages for injuries received when he
was shot by a negro passenger at Ice
land, in Brunswick county. The ne
gro was shooting at the conductor
with whom he had had an altercation
and Mr. Penny, who was getting off
the train, was not connected with the
trouble. He has been awarded dam
ages two or three times and at the
last trial damages were given in the
sum of $5,000 with interest for abont
thirteen years, amounting, all-told, to
abont $11,000.

^homasville Has $10,000 Blaze.
Thomasvilic, Feb. 8.—The packing
room of the Queen C!>air Co., was
destroyed by fire this morning about
8:30 o’clock. The loss will amount
to about $10,000, partially covered
by insurance. 'Che £tre presumably
originated from a spark from the
smoke stack, which fell into tiie base
ment.
The heaviest part of the loss is noJ
the building itself, which was of ratii-
er light construction, but its contents.
For Mvwral days theire had baon no
shipment from the plant, aitd the
pjaMng room wu jammad ibll. of
chairs, it was the intontiAn: of the
Company to'begin hanlingr them out
today. Included in the loss were sup
plies stored in the buUdiitg to the
amount of about f2,000. G. It. Hoo-
v» is head of the concern.
Notorioua Tiger Is Sent to the Roads.
Durham, Feb. 8.—^In the trial of
the blind tiger cases this morning J.
W. Ferrell, Jr;, proprietor of the no
torious “fe^ store" on Parrish street,
which !s said to have made its owners
whiskey business^ etaotnst.veetaoiar
thousands of dollars in the illeit
whiskey business, was. found guilty
of retailing under two cbsrges and
sentenced' to eight months oh the
roads and fined $200 in the other case.
Ferrell gave notice of an appeal .and
his bond was ilxed at $400 in both
^»ses.
An interesting development fat the
trial of Fletcher Browning, »* 1
with retailing, was brought wt in
the recorder's court this momins'.
Browning employed a lawyer and
during the progress of the f»se it
was found necessary te produce evi
dence to stop the trial in order that
a search might be made of Brownin';
roonk When the case wm resumed
the man was not found in the coitrt.
T&e attorney, however, continued the
light for his Client, and finally I I
the- case. When the man was cailsd
up for sentence he w»b not to be
found in the court room. The judge
ordered that the man be called out.
Again today the county commis
sioners Were swamped with petitions
for roads. Great cro'vds of farmers
from various sections of the county
appeared before the board with
lengthy petitions asking for short cot
roads by their doors.
Peru Revolution May Mean More
Trouble.
Lima, Peru, Feb. 4.—The President
of the Republic of Peru, Goiliermo
Billinghurst, today was taken prison
er by militia revolutionists. The reb
els suddenly attacked the presiden
tial palace under the leadership of
Colonel Benavides.
General £nrique Varela, Premier
and Minister of War, was killad irt the
sharp fight which ensued. Dr. Au
gust? Lurand, a former revolutionary,
leader, who was sought by the poiice
yesterday, took possession of the pal
ace. It is generally believed tbst he
will organize a new Government.
President Billinghurst ws« plater
taken by teh rebels as a prisoner to
Callao, whence he will be sent into
exile.
Washington, Feb, 4.—The spectac
ular and successful revolution in Pern
finds the United States navy without
a single warship south of the equator.
The work of the revolutionists was
so completi^ however, that there is no
need of haste in dispatching a ves
sel to the scene.
Later it may become necessary for
the United States to have at hand
means of supporting any r^ipresenta-
tions that the State Deparment may
decide to make regarding the new
government to r^se on the ruins of
the BilHnghurst Administration. So
far, though, oi£ciais here have not
been able to frame any policy. News
came to the department late in the
day from the American Legation in
Lima of the arrest of President Bil-
linghurst, but the brief dispatch did
not indicate the plans of the revola-
tionists, and the Peruvian Legation
here had no news at all from the
Capital.
That some embarrassment may be
expected in adjusting the pronounced
views of the Administration regarding
revolution made governments to the
present sfate of affairs in Peru was
admitted in some quarters. But it
was painted out that, owing to the
peculiar conditions xmder which Pres
ident BlUinghurst came into office a
year ago with a cloud on his own ti
tle, it may not be necessary to raise
the (juesUon as to the status of his
successor. Some officials believe ex-
