Nearly two years ago James Dun- jean, a young white man residing j near Warsaw, died quite suddenly and under suspicious circumstances. He had only two weeks before his death taken out a SlUUO jxilicy in the! l'enn. Life Insurance Company, ma king his wife the beneficiary. There were indications of poisoning mani fested during his brief illness and his body was exhumed for the pur pose of analyzing his stomach. This was done by an expert chemist, at Raleigh, who found strychnine in the stomach. Suspicion rested upon Duncan's wife and a man named Cullen Powell who was suspected of undue intima cy with Mrs. "Duncan. An unsuc cessful effort was made at the time to secure an indictment of the sus pected parties for murder. The in surance company, in the mean time, resisted the payment of the policy on the ground of foul play. Lately some additional evidence in the case has come to light and at last week s term of Duplin court the grand jury returned a true bill for murder against Powell and Mrs. Duncan. Mrs. Duncan was promptly arrested but Powell is yet at large. Habeas corpus iroceedinrs were heard in the case before Judge Roy- j kin in Clinton Saturday on behalf of : Mrs. Duncan, w ho is admitted to bail in the sum of $l(MMl. Arrested While l'lCiuliiiiir.

Chamblin is a mail carrier on the ! route from King's Mountain to All ! Healing. Lincoln Academy is a col- ! ored boarding school on this route ; with King's Mountain as its post of fice. Chamblin carried mail back and forth for the Academy in an ord inary sack without lock. The evidence goes to show that he extracted sundry postal notes and a check from letters in this pouch. One check for about .27 dollars drawn in favor of one of the teachers was cashed by the Ciastonia Manufactur ing Co., the endorsement being a forgery by a colored woman at the advice or instigation of Chamblin. The woman was discharged. Mr. I. N. Davis made the arrest Monday night at Philadelphia church, in uieveiaiiu couniv. naiiumu was ; preaching when the oiiicers rode up, but they were kind enough to allow him to close the service before mak ing known their business. Diabolical Attempt at Incendiarism. Lexington Dispntrh. Last Wednesday morning there was considerable excitement in town occasioned by a dastardly attempt at incendiarism that was committed during the night. About three o' clock the colored cook at the March House awoke and saw a bright flame Issuing from a corner of the kitchen in the rear of Rome Craver's resi dence. An alarm was raised and the blaze was quickly extinguished. An Investigation showed that a small box filled with pine chips cov ered with rosin and a quantity of ex celsior shavings, the whole saturated with kerosene, had been placed un der the house and ignited. When discovered, the box and its contents had been partly consumed and the house had caught fire. A few min utes later, the whole block, includ ing the March House, would have been in flames, and would have been totallv dostrovfd :is the town has ahsnh.tclc n -.w-tion no-ainst fire.

How a Chinese Tony Used Ui Iliieh Dortch and the Writer. f Kx tract from a letter t" tlie Morganton Herald by I. U. Avery, of the American Consulate ill China. J Shaking of the Chinese ponies re minds me of an experience that Hugh Dortch, one of the North Carolinians in the Consulate lu re, and I had with one. Kver since Dortch came lie has wanted to purchase or hire a 110113' for saddle purposes. A few days ago lie came to me and announced in a very joyful fashion that lie had hired a splendid pony and intended riding every morning from five until seven o'clock the only hours of the day that is sufficiently cool to take exer cise. The next morning the pony was sent around and Dortch took his ride. Afterwards, during the day, he seemed sad and thoughtful and spent most of his time reclining on a soft lounge; but whenever I said any thing about his pony he simply eu logized him and said he was the most magnificent little riding animal that he ever saw. Finally, he grew generous and in sisted upon my using the pony the next day just to feel mce more what it was to ride a hors? that was as easy, by Oeorge, as a rocking cradle. I had my suspicions and de- dined with thanks; but in the even- ing my Chinese servant informed me that Mr. Dortch had placed me 011 call for a ride at live o'clock and that his pony would be in readiness. I wasn't altogether pleased, but I didn't like to hurt Dortch s feelings by two refusals and so let the order stand. The next morning I was awaked at five o'clock and went out to mount Dortchs prize, a small white pony that had lots of points points on which I could hang my hat. He was being held hy a Chinese ser vant, or, to be more correct, he was dragging the Chinese over about half an acre of ground in his effervescence of gaiety. After making several frantic but futile efforts to get close enough to him to mount which called forth the applause of a mini her of horsemen and Chinamen who had collected, I went to Dortch s room to get advice from him as to how I should proceed. In stead of finding him in bed and asleep, as T expected, he was sitting in a window in his "pajamas" where lie could obtain a full view of the scene enacted by the pony and me and was : going on into one peal 01 laughter after another. When he could con- j trol his voice sufficiently to speak he j told me to make the boy put a hand-1 kerchief over the pony's eyes. This j was done, with the result that I was! at last able to mount much to my I subsequent sorrow. The stirrups had been lixed too short even for Dortcli, and as I am just seven inch es taller than he the natural conse quence was that my knees were al most on a level with the top of my head. Refore I had fairly grasped my reins my steed was off like the wind, swerved a corner, and as a starter ran full tilt into a lot of Chinamen, who were standing around a barrow filled with eggs and cabbage, knock ing them right and left. We did not stop to apologize, he pony and I; but with the gentle zephyrs wafting to our ears the cries of "foreign de vil" and "bad Melican" wo almost flew down the crowded street. I say we because 1 took as much exercise as the pony. I don't think there ever was a horse that had a rider to sit on many places on his back in :ls s . .. snace of time as t 11s rvmv had. My knees worked as a sort of leverage, and with an unintentional movement that was forceful enough to break the back of an ordinary horse I sat in quick succession from his tail to the base of the neck. Finally I was able to check his speed somewhat, hut he and I couldn't come to any terms. He was a firm believer in the Pall-Mall, rise-in-the-stirrup style of riding and preferred trotting as a gait, while I wanted to sit in my saddle closely and was an ardent advocate of a saddle-horse be ing a good walker, single footer or a pacer. As a compromise we loped awhile, but not for long. He took short, mincing steps like a guinea pig; and a cow would have been a de lightful riding animal by comparison. I had been told that he was the second best race horse in China and that he was very ambitious. T accept the first as a fact and would swear j so the truth of the latter. Yes, he was very ambitious. He was so am bitious, in fact, that I believe that he could have climbed a tree with ease or walked up the side of a . house. After riding nine miles in a little ! ovr M haur 1 turned to my hotel, and there it took the combined strength of three Chinamen and my self to cheek his burning aspirations to run away. And these davs Dortch and I do ' u' riding 111 a jinrickasha with very : soft, cushioned seats Ex-Governor Thomas M. Holt has given an order for a statue of Major Joseph Winston, to be erected 011 Guiiford Rattle Grounds.

Burlington News. There is 110 more dangerous ' an in dividual in any community than the church hypocrite. A vvorldl' hypocrite cannot ap proach where the man high in church goes and is consequently not so dan gerous, though he may be as despic able. A man who pretends to be too good to see anj'thing good in the world around him for fear of viola ting his conscience, and at the same time is a devil at heart and planning the ruin of some innocent victim, is ten times worse than the hellish lib ertine whom everybody knows and fears. Rut few men live strictly to the christian standard, and he who ac knowledges his shortcoming and con fesses his errors can be respected of all people; but a man who wears the livery of heaven, consecrated, sanc tified; yet inwardly carries all the habiliments of hell is a terror. Watch that one. Above is dedicated to W. E. Hay, Rurlington's escapade. Ei. Hkap- LKllIT. J f Used His Knife Too Freely. (irecnville Iteflector. On Saturday Mr. D. C. McCall, a South Carolinian, who was going through this section, selling county rights of some kind of a patent, painfully cut Mr. James Rrown, of this town. It seems an agreement had been made between the two as to Mr. Brown's becoming the pur chaser o the right for this county, and that later Mr. McCall sold it to another part'. Mr. Brown saw him about the matter to ascertain why the agreement with him was not car ried out, and during the conversa tion remarked that he "suppos ed lie was dealing wuli a gen tleman," McCall tcxik offense at this and drawing a large knife cut Rrown in two places, on the should er and on the breast. McCall was arrested, taken lie fore a Justice and ! hound over to court. He was also j fined by the Mayor for engaging in ! disorderly conduct in town. I Too Drunk to Know He was 011 Fire. i MonnH?

I One day last week one rA our fit i j zens who loves to talk politics and j abuse a Democratic administration an('(r;njc 'red eye," came to town and filled up 011 the "all joyful," in fact when he left town lie was so full j that he did not know nor care under j what kind of an administration he j was living. The citizen had not gone j far on his homeward journey' when i he fell out of his wagon, and in fall ! ing, ignited a box of matches which j he had in the breast pocket of his coat. He was in such a condition as I not to care for fire or any other ele ; meat and had not a gentleman ar- rived on the scene of the accident as ! soon as he did the unfortunate man would have soon been in such condi tion that politics and all other earth ly affairs would have been be'ond his ken, for he would have been burned to death in a very short while. Assaulted and Kohlied a Peddler. Weldon News. Particulars of a most brutal as sault for robbery, came to us Satur day morning from the upper section of Northampton county. From what we can gather a Russian Jew, plying as a peddler of small wares, left Thomas' store, itist ahovp flarvshurrr Friday evening, driving a one-horse wagon. There had been a mass meet ing and after this broke up, the ped dler left, going up the Gaston road. He was followed by a negro, who at a convenient time and place deliber ately knocked him off the wagon with a rock, and proceeded to finish him with a stick, and might have succeeded but for the timely arrival of John Morgan. Morgan came in time to save his lift;, but not his money, for the dastardly villain rob bed him of his purse and lied, and at this writing has not been caught. Twins All Around. tiiurlotte News. A very mixed up business is on Mr. Tom Stack's place, in the West ern part ot Union county, ile is a good farmer and has everything around him he wants and some things he does not want. Friday morning of last week he went to his barn and found in one of his stables twin mules. They were both healthy looking and doing well. On Satur day night one of his fine Jersey cows increased his personal property by twin calves. Mr. Stack began to think fortune was smiling upon him and that he was walking a golden road. He did not reach the full height of his glory, however, until Tuesday morning, when his wife pre sen ted him with twin boys. At last accounts all of the twins were doing well. When moving into our present home 1 found a iMittle of ClianilH-riaiu s Tain lialni left hy a former tenant. On the lahle I found the statement that it was good for cuts and hums.

Special Correspondence. Xew York, Aug. I'D, 1894. With the passage of the Tariff bill the last of the distressing factors which have operated against business has disappeared, and it is to be ex pected that from now on we will see a gradual revival in the trade of the country. Already it is noticeable that a better tne is apparent in dry goods circles and the iron trade, and bu3'ers are daity nocking into the market to secure at least what they need for their immediate consump tion, although as yet they have not begun to lay in any large stocks of goods. It is evident therefore that the question to determine the value of cotton for the coming year is the size of the crop, and not such extraneous circumstances as tariff or silver agi tation. The estimates which are now current regarding a large yield are so generally received and lxdieved, that it is thought the consumption will be less than the production by at least l,000.nnn bales, and that there fore the cotton trade will witness the same gradual recession in price which has marked the w heat market for the past twelve months. This belief is based entirely ujon present crop prospects, and it must be stated that should these prospects be realized, it is generally thought that the yield will at least reach 11,000,000 bales. Of course all estimates of the yield of the cotton crop in the month of August are absurd, as it depends en tirely ujxm the weather from now on whether the plant be well fruited, or whether it is destroyed by storms, or worms or man' other contingen cies, such as rust which assail the cotton crop at different times during its period of development. How ever, the trade are convinced that nothing will reduce the yield below the consumption, and basing their operations upon that belief it is very difficult to find any one who has a gtxxl word to say in favor of cotton, and everybly is st rough' of the be lief that we shall see a decline in cot ton below prices ever recorded in this market since the exchange was opened. Acting upon these reiorts which come from the South, the trade here is short of cotton, and the spinners though taking daily for immediate shipment from this market, do not buy any quantity of cotton from the shippers who are so eager to offer them fall shipments from Southern points. The amount of cotton which has been sold forward for delivery this year is variously estimated and it is difficult to give an approximate idea of what is believed to be the ex tent of this business which has for many years been profitable to those who have engaged in it, and this sea son is no exception to the general rule of large sales for forward de liveries, especially to Europe. The receipts of cotton for the lat ter part of August and possibly Sep tember will be light, as the plant ap pears to have been retarded in its development by the recent severe rains throughout the cotton country, and it is universally reported as be ing very large and not so well fruited as might be hoped for. However, the reports from Texas are assumed ! to be of such a nature as to point to a yield in that State largely exceed ing any crop brought to market there, and it is not at all unlikely that these rejtorts are substantially true. In fact, everything that comes to hand from the Texas markets is to the ef fect that the crop now points to a yield at least 500,000 bales larger than last year in that State. When that is considered as making this crop equal to 8.000.000 bales, and the increase in the Mississippi and Atlantic over last year is taken into account, it can be readily understood whj' the trade believes that the crop is 11,000,000 bales. Still, it is well always to recollect that the crop is not yet made and the accidents which the plant will encounter from now on may greatly reduce the present prospects, as was notably the case in 1S80. This crop now coming to mar ket does not seem likely to exceed 7,450,000 bales, instead of the larger estimates which were current in the Spring. Crop conditions, where they have changed at all during the week, have general' changed for the better. The outturn of wheat will evidently be much larger than that indicated by Government estimates. The curtail ment of the corn yield and low prices for wheat are unfavorable features of the business outlook; but other con ditions favor early and steady recov ery from the long depression in trade. Business failures in the United States and Canada during last week num bered 271, against 482 during the corresponding week last year.

KaleiKli N-itli I'; There is a lilliall. reat cry of hard times. and yet the number of excursions in this State this season has Ik-cu the greatest on record. It is said that money is scarce and hard to get and yet all the summer resorts had larg er crowds of visitors this season than they ever had lefore. We are told that times are hard, but there are now more bicycles, buggies, carts and fine clothes than ever lie fore. Hard times we hear on every hand, but jieople are chewing as much tobacco, drinking as much cof fee, swilling as much whiskey aud contracting as many bad debts as they ever did. Surely it is time to quit grumbling. . . - A Wolf in Sheep's Cletliin. Marion Kocord.
