Bloody Sequel to tbe Scandal With

Shooting A firm 7 In Which
one man Is shot Dead
Two Wounded.
Shelby, N. C, July II. Special.
Lincolnton, one of the oldest and
most aristocratic towns in this section
is widely excitedly oyer a terrible trag
edy that stains the good name of two
of her most prominent families.
To-day Samuel Motz, a popular young
man about 22 years old, was killed,
Robt. Michael, another prominent
young man, was dangerously wounded
in the thigh, arm and hand, and Char
ley Motz was wounded in the shoulder,
the result of the most Inhuman crime
man ova be guilty of the betrayal of
a young and confiding woman.
Until six weeks ago ' Mi s Maggie
Motz, a handsome brunette, was one of
the most popular and esteemed young
ladies in Lincolnton. At that time
mar1 am rumor began whispering that
she had departed from the paths of
virtue. Two different men were said
to be the author of her downfall. One
of them is Rey. Wm. P. Fife, the evan
gelist, who was exonerated after .an
investigation by interested part es and
upon the oath of the young lady herself
but Bob Michael, who had been paying
her marked attention for two years or
more, was believed to have been the
guilty party.
About-a month ago while Miss Motz
was walking near twn she was taken
suddenly ill and gave birth to a child
which only lived a short time. As
soon as possible she was taken to her
father's house and for some days she
was at the point of death. As soon as
her family became a ivare of her condi
tion they resolved to compel Michael
to marry his victim or suffer death.
Up to the present time Michael made
no effort to marry her, but continued to
remain around town. This afternoon
at 1 o'clock in company with Samuel
Motz, a cousin to Miss Maggie, young
Michael started in a buggy for Lin
colnton Lithia Springs, four miles from
Lincolnton. When about a mile from
town, while passing a dense piece of
woods they were fired upon with shot
guns by Caldwell, Charley and John
Motz, brothers to the injured girl.
Samuel Moiz, fell from the buggy, hav
ing been shot through his heart, and
Michael was hit three times in the
thigh, arm and hand.
As soon as they had fired, the Motz
brothers started to run. Although des
perately wounded, Michael drew his
pistol and fired at the retreating
brothers, hittinfe Charley in the shoul
der, the ball penetrating the lung.
The news of the tragedy quickly
spread over the town, and the Motz
brothers were placed under arrest
Samuel Motz was a first cousin to the
brothers.
The following was sent out by the
Associated Press:.
Raleigh. N. C, July 11. Grand
Sire Busbee of Gdd Fellows, is improv
ing, and hopes of his recovery are
entertained.
A special to the News and Observer
from Lincolnton says: A month ago a
respectably connected young woman,
Miss Maggie Motz, gave Dirtn to a
child. At first its paternity was charged
toEvangelistFife,butthe woman denied
that and to-day swore that Robert
Michael was the father. Her brothers,
Charles, John and Caldwell, demanded
that Michael should marry her. A row
ensued in which Snmuel Motz, a cous
in, was accidentally killed, and Chas.
Motz and Robert Micnaei v.ere wound
ed. - "
Charles. John and Caldwell Motz"
were arrested for the killing of Samuel

similar condition to that during the
dreadful fire of 1873, when hundreds of
people perished all through the north.

that St. Mary's river is navigated with

' In order to obtain a fulUnsight into
matters pertaining to the assessment
for taxation of the various roads in the
western part of the State, the members
of the railroad commission will leave
next Monday on a tour of inspection
covering several weeks.
Your correspondent has authority
for the statement that the Neves and
Observer will, in the near future, be
greatly improved in every respect. It
will be converted into an eight-page
paper with a complete outfit of new
type. It is pleasant-to record the pro
gress of this orthodox Democratic pa

Last night the finance committee of
the Board of Aldermen reported favor

adopted. ,
The matter of hotel accommodations
at the coming exposition' is receiving

be favorably reported upon. -

Mr. isiiyew, an extensive grape
grower, in this vicinity, informs your
correspondent, that at least one-fourth
of his crop has taken the rot. ' This is
specially the ca&e as to the Concord va
riety. It will be much more convenient for
parties who send claims for direct
taxes by mail, to direct them to Mr.
Phil H. Andrews, in this city, who has
entire control in the matter of verifi
cation. This will facilitate the pay

at tbe executive office have to be
turned over to Mr, Andrews, who. with

THEY ARE RED HOT,
A Split Impending In the Alliance
Convention at Fort Worth Over
the SubTreasnry Scheme'- An
Attack on Dr. McCune The
Kansas Alliance Alarmed.
FORT WORTH, Texas, July 11. The
principle feature of the State Alliance
Convention this morning was the
speech of U. S. Hall, president of the
Missouri Al'iance. Jde charges that
Dr. McCune had sold out for a money
consideration to the protectionists, and
in furtherance of that bargain, the
Third Party move was inaugurated In
the South to divert JJerrocratle votes.
He said that it was no disgrace for
such a dishonest man as McCune to
get into the Alliance, but it would be
come a disgrace if he was not turned
out. i
President Hall was loudly applauded.
Last night Harry Tracy, McCune's
chief apostle, in Texas, gave an open
challenge for debate on tbe sub-treas
ury scheme. Hall accepted and the
debate occurs to-night. Tracy claims
to have some unsavory facts about
Hall's career, newly discovered, which
he proposes to turn loose to-night. The
sub-treasuryites, of 1 whom a squad
walked out of the convention yester
day, are red hot. It is believed that
the outcome or tne convention will be a
split of the State Alliance into factions;
one representing tbe Third party and
the other the Democratic wing
Topeka, Kan., July 11. The Al
liance leaders in Kansas are greatly
chagrined and worried at tbe action of
certain leaders oi the Southern Alliance
in calling on the Fort Worth, Tex.,
convention to resolve against the sub-
treasury idea. They claim that it is a
scheme of the Southern Democrats' to
break up the Alliance and that promi
nent Democratic Congressmen are at
tho hnttnm nf it.. Thfi TCansns IpndpTd
fear this action (a but the beginning of
movement that will disrupt the or
ganization in Kansas, as thousands tf
Iepublicans who affiliated with tie
People s party last year would follow
the course of, their Southern brethren
and go back to their old party.
