New York, June 27. Harry K.
Thaw's first night in the tombs pris
on under the charge of murder was an
uneventful one. He retired early, slept
soundly and peacefully, and arose ap
parently rested and refreshed.
Thaw's whole appearance was

ment, but he let it be understood that
there had been no change in the plan to
put in a plea that Thaw Is insane.
Mr. Olicott said he had not see let
ters from White which Mrs. Thaw
turned over to Mr. Delafield yesterday,
but he knew their import, and believed !
they would aid the defense.
After this
conference Mrs. Thaw
went to the Tombs prison, where she
had a talk with her husband.

GREAT DAMAGE BY FLOODS.
The Matthews Section Visited
by a
Big Rain Monday Night.
Special to The News.
Matthews June 27. Not since the
days of Noah has the face of the
earth been so nearly covered with
water, at least in this section of the
country, as it was Monday evening
during 'the little flood that fell here
between seven and ten o'clock. The
rain was attended with a brilliant dis
play of electricity and, in some lo
calities with a terrific storm o4f wind.
The rain which began about 7:30,
poured down in torrents, filling up
all the ditches and sweeping across
the fields regardless of terraces or
any other obstructions. It is almost
impossible to estimate the damage
done to the farms in this section. In
many places the stubble fields, which
were freshly plowTed, were washed
away down to the sub-soil. Three or
four public bridges in Morning Star
township were either carried com
pletely away or rendered impassable.
The public roads too, are ruined in
several places, the road-bed-being
washed out. It was by far.' the heav
iest freshet here in many years, and
'phone messages, to day from differ
ent points in Union, state that it was
correspondingly heavy all through
that county, Nearly all the farmers
in this section sustained consider
able losses and, of course, are
i somewhat "blue" over the situation.
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Mecklenburg Will Endorse Blackburn
for State Chairman.
The Mecklenburg Republican con
vention will be held at the courthouse
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, at
which delegates will be elected and in
structed how to vote at the State con
vention which will be held at Greens
boro. The delegates to the county
convention were named at the primar
ies which were held in the county yes
terday. In addition to the naming of
the county delegates at the thirty-one
precincts, three men were named as
precinct executive committeemen.
Much interest is being taken in the
convention tomorrow. There seems
to be a strong sentiment and a great
deal of talk in the city today that
Blackburn will be endorsed for State
chairman of the Republican Execu
tive Committee, though there is some
chance for Adams. The county con
ventions of Stanly and Iredell both en
dorsed Blackburn vesterday and he
seems to be the favorite among Char
lotte Republicans.

Greensboro, June 27. The city is
making all needed preparations tor
the reception of the State Democratic
Convention which meets here next
Tuesday, July 3rtt. Local committees

arrangements for the proper enter
tainment and welcome of delegates.
It is expected that hundreds of
Democrats from all quarters of the
State will be here and no pains will
be spared by local Democrats in
furnishing them with excellent enter
tainment. By comparison 'with the
convention held here two years ago,
when a full State ticket was nomi
nated, the convention next week will
be a tame affair, but there will never
theless be interest sufficient to at
tract a large attendance. The conven
tion will be held in the Grand Opera
House and it is expected that the
business will be transacted in time
for final adjournament before supper
hour. The big celebration at Guilford
Battle Ground will take place on the

tion delegates will remain over for
the festivities, and those who do may
be assured of a great time.

The little episode of the restraining
order against the aerie of Eagles that

Merchants Are Optimistic.
A well-known merchant of Charlotte
said this morning, "We have been busy
all the year, and although the dull sea
son used to come in before this time
we haven't had anything to complain
of as yet." This verdict on business
conditions is almost universally given
by merchants and dealers everywhere.
A great portion of the business re
ferred to is from the country and so
long as the farmers keep the luck with
them that has been theis for a year
or over, business will continue to be
good. .

A BRIDGE AT
ROZZELLE'S FERRY
Col. Robert L. Abernathy, of River
Bend and Number of Delegates
to Appear Before County. Com
missioners. Thinks Time has
Come for the Bridge.
At the regular monthly meeting of
tne county commissioners at the court
house next Monday afternoon, the mat
ter of building a bridge over the Ca-
I tawba river at,Rozzelles ferry will be
Drought up. -
Col. Robt. L. Abernathy of River
Bend, writes to the editor of The News
and make a strong plea for a bridge,
which has been discussed oy the com
missioners of Mecklenburg people
for a number of years. He says our
people have taken action in regard to
this bridge time and time again, but
were turned as often by being told that
the time had not come to build the
bridge.
The site of the proposed bridge is
about two miles from Mount Holly.
It is on the old main road to the moun
tains which was used during the war
by; mountain people bringing their pro
ducts to the Charlotte market. The
piers of the old plank bridge which
many of the older Mecklenburg resi
dents will recall still remain, all ex
cept one being in perfect condition.
The piers were sold about six years
ago and were bought by Mecklenburg
county at a reasonable price with the
construction of a bridge in view.
Mr. J. H Weddington, ex-Chairman
of the county commissioners, who has
always been in favor of the bridge,
has been asked by the delegates com
ing here Monday to act as spokesman
for them, and he will probably act in
this capacity.
There is a strong sentiment all over
the county, and Charlotte, for this
bridce. anQ many agree with Col. Aber
nathy that the time has come to biuld
it. One citizen said this morning that
the county was building roads to the
borders in every direction and he
thought the county was entitled to this
bridge and two more wnicn wouia
be brought up in later years because
the city would be more accessible tc
be brought up in later years. He fur
ther expresses himself as saying , that
the cost of the bridge would be
brought back into the county in a very
few years, because the city would be
more accessible to western people.
Texas Crops.

his corn crop. -

TWO-THIRDS RETURNS IN.
Remainder Must Be in By Saturday
Mr. Duckworth Will Advertise De
linquents. The office of 'Squire Severs and U.
S. Commissioner Cobb is the scene of
busy activity from dawn to dark these
days, as files of people stand in wait
ing all day, to make their tax returns
for the new year.
"We have so far taken just about
two-thirds of the total returns of Meck
lenburg county," said Mr. Cobb this
morning, and that willleave one-third
to be taken in the. short space of three
days.
How the tax-listers will-attend to this
amount of business within the time
specified is . something they cannot
tell. If the remaining third of the tax
payers," many of whom are large land
owners or corporation officers, all show
up during the three days left for re
turns, it will be probably more than
the tax-listers will be able to do' to
handle so many returns in so short
space. However, they are all hard at
work and are having all they can do to
keep up with the constant stream of
people waiting in the little office for
their turn to come.
Mr. H. D. Duckworth, who is en
deavoring to wind up the last years
taxes, is getting things pretty well in
shape and has completed a full list of
all delinquents and these are being
notified of the amount that they are
due the State and county.
Mr. Duckworth states that according
to law he will have to begin advertis
ing the delinquents on the second Mon
day in August, and will divide the list
into four parts if necessary, inserting
one each on the last four Mondays in
the month of July.
A good many are coming, . however,
and making their settlements this
week, and the list will no doubt be con
siderably curtailed by the 9th of July,
when the first' list of delinquents will
be advertised.
