Robert Berrier the slayer of Mrs. Herbert Wal ser, was taken out of jail to-night at seven thirty o'clock by a crowd of white men, numbering one hundred or more, and hanged to a tree on the outskirts of the town. The lynching was done in a quiet and orderly manner. t The sheriff and offi cials of the law did their duty as far as I know, but the crowd was so great that they could not protect the prisoners life. TUB PRELIMINARY HEARING. Ai Earlier Dispatch Says Berrier Waiv ed Examiaatioa Threats ef Lynching. Special to Thb Chrokiclb.) Lexington, Oct. 14. Robert Berrier who killed his mother-in-law, Mrs. H. Walser, was brought back from Greens boro on the noon train today, at d was arraigned before Esquire Moyer. His oounst'l, M. H. Pinnis and W. B. Glenn, waived an examination and the prisoner Robert Berrier was committed to the county juil to await the action of the grand jury. The excitement is still great, and the town is full of country people-, and threats of lynching are heard on every side. If tonight passes without his being lynched, I think his life will be spared and the law allowed to take its course Berrier was arrested near here Sun day and brought into town in the after noon. A great crowd of people from the country swarmed into town and it looked as if Berrier would be lynched then. Berrier was promptly corried before Esquire Moyer and committed to jail for ahearing attwo o'clock today. The crowd became so threatening that it was deemed best to get Berrier away ; and he was taken to Oraensboro on the 7:45 train last night, with the understanding that he should be brought here today on the 11 o'clock train for a hearing. Public opinion was divided as to lynching Berrier, and I thought the sober, second thought would prevail, and that the law would be allowed to take its course. The people in town as a unit, opposed his being lynched, and I thought, "if is done at all, it will be done by tbe people: in the neigh borhood where the cowardly crime was committed." The four months old child that he carried away, when he committed the terrible murder has been recov ered. It was found in a hollow tree, all sound and well, and has been re stored to its mother. The crime for which Berrier was hanged was given in Thb Chronicle at tbe time of the deed. Berrier married a grand-daughter of Henry Walser. He and his wife lived unhappily and final: ly separated, their ouly child, a young baby, being taken by its mother to her mothers home. One day last week. while Berrier s retder-ln law was at Morganton, where he had left his daughter in the asylum, Berrier went to bis mother-in law s house near Lexing ton to secure the child. Ue finally snatched the child away from the old lady, and as she followed nim and tried to reoover tbe child, Berrier pulled out a pistol and shot her dead. Berrier then fled with the child.

FIRE IX A STORE. An Are Light Dees Caasiderable Damage - ia V. A- Dixsa & Cs's, Stare. ? Yesterday morning about 4 o'clock offioer Irvine and Hoover discovered that chothisg was burning in the store of a A. Dixon & Co., on E. Trade St. Officer Irvine perceived an o'dor as of burning clothes, and after investigation in the vicinity and around the neigh boring stores, they located it at Dixon's. Officer Hunter whom they called was sent for Mr. Dixon, who hastened to open the store, when he discovered that a large quanttiy of men's clothing was slowly being consumed. By the help of the officers the fire was extinguished, the alarm no. being turned in. On one of the oounteis there was a mass of coals. The cloth ing that was burning was just beneath a large aro light, which was blackened, and at one plaoe, just above one of the round arms through which machinery runs, it bore the appearance of having melted. ' - Mr. Dixon says that a hundred and fifty suits were either consumed er damaged and the loss is estimated fit $1500, covered by insurance. Other ar ticles iu tbe store were injured by the smoke. The lamp has not been examined as yet by the Electric Light Company, and therefore a satisfactory explanation of matters cannot be given. Thn company's manager says the light was cut out Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, the car bons having probably burnt nearly out Iu the forepart of Sunday night Mr. Dixon went around to the Electric Light House and said that the lamp was burning, when he was told by the engin eer to "cut out" the lamp, there being a switch on the Outside of the store by means of which the current may be turned on oif at will. Mr. Dodge thinks that eomu person must have turned in the current after it was turned off. A lamp generally cuts itself out when the carbons burn out, and if one fails to do this it opens the circuit, preventing all the rest of the lamps from burning, whereupon the company make an investigation. 8AM JONES. He Will Come ts Charlotte if a Suitable Building is Provided. Sam Jones paaed through the city yesterday on his way to his home in Car tersville, Ga., having just closed his meeting at Durham. Hit looks as much like his pictures as Zeb Vanae resembles his. After finishing dinner, he stepped out in front of the dinning room and in answer to the questions a Chronicle re porter said: ' l,I expect to be here the last of April or the first of May, that in if a suitable building is provided, capable of seating the crown that will attund." "How many converts were there in Durham, as a result of the Meeting therei"",VVell we were talking about it at the dinner table, and came to the conclusion that the conversions and reclamations were between 600and 1000." '"Are you on your way home. now "I'm going home for about a day, heu I will go by way of Louisville, to Lynchburg to uoml uct a meeti ng there. 1 ' Just at this moment the engine bo'l rung and Mr. Jones as he moved olf t Imh car remarked, ''There goes my train: I'm aory I cun't talk to you longer.'' Mr. Jones was accompuuied as far as Charlotte by Memrs. C. P. Wheeler. M. C. Mayer. Joe Smith and E. M. An drews, who recently went to Durham to secure the services of the great preacher for conducting a meeting in this city and they guarantee that he shall have a building that will accoio modate as many as can attend.

THE INTER-STATE COMMERCE COM MISSION FAVOR THE SUIPPER. AN IMPORTANT RATE DECISION. The Case Decided ia Regarding Lasher Freight Charges. Washington, D. C. Oct 14. The In-, terstate Commerce Commission today rendered a decision in the cane of James & Abbott, lumber dealers, of John son City, Tenn., sgainst the East Tenn Va & Ga., and other roads. This is a complaint of the transporta tion charges on lumber carried from Johnson City Tenn., to Boston, Mass. The rate to which complaint is mads is tbirty-six eta., iter hundred pounds of lumber in the carload, for a distance of nine hundred and eleven miles though from the more distant point of Atlanta, Ga., twelve hundred and forty miles, a lower rate of thirty four cents is charged which is alleged to be in violation of the fourth section of the Act to regulate Commerce. From Macon Ua., to Bos ton the freight charge is the same as from Johnson City, four hundred and seventeen miles, the shorter distance, over the same line. The commission holds that combined rail and water competition at a longer distance point does not justify a greater charge for the shorter distance, while the shorter distance rate is maintained by the carrier at points where the com ixHition is of greater force, and more controlling than at the longer distance poiut. Such greater charge is not jus tified by the fact that local rates have been first paid on lumber to the longer distance points, nor by the fact that the freight is shipped in cars from the long er distance point, which brought ma chinery to those points, and for which profitable return-loads were not always to be had; nor by a difference in the bulk and value of the lumber when the published rate e'leeU put thn lumber in the snnio cl:ux, and at tbe same rati. While distance is not always a con trolling element in determining what is a reasonable rate, there is ordinarily no better measure of railroad service in carrying goods than the distance they are carried,and when the rate of freight charges over one line in sending freight carried from a neighboring territory to the same market, is considerably great er than over other lines for distances as long or longer, such greater rate is held to be excessive, and should be re duced. The rate on lumber from John son City to Boston should not exceed ikl cents per 100 pounds. (illY. KILL IN CUAKLOTl'K. He V.'ill Reach Here Today Aboat II O'rluck on a Special Train.

Washington, Oct. 14 There are SI cases among pension office employees and a number among -officials in other Executive Departments, that are almost identical with the Manderson case. Sen ator Manderson was re-rated for a pen sion without any knowledge on his part, and a certificate for the money is sued to him. Manderson doubted the validity of the action of the pension Office, and Secretary Noble held that Commissioner Tanner's action was with out warrant in law. Some of the offi cers in the pension bureau who were re rated like Senator Manderson, made ap plications therefor while others dla; but all of the 21 eases with deputy com missioner of pensions Smith at their head, accepted re ratitg, and the money which came with it- 1 - v ; . It is authoritatively stated that gov ernment employee whose pension have been illegally re-rated, and whose cases are covered in a general ' way by ' the Manderson decision, will be required to refund the money received as a result: of re-rating in case of refusal to refund the money, their regnlarpenaion money and salary will be withheld until the money is recovered.

P. Bennett Republican to the lower house, and Henry Blair, Republisan, is awarded the seat from Deer Lodge by a majority of 4. .. Both these seats have heretofore been counted for the Democrats. . The court in Silver Bow connty, of which Butte is the county seat, has been completed, but Republican counsel have protested against counting the returns, from the eighth and thirty-fourth precincts. Ar guments have been made before the board by counsel for both sides. If these precincts are thrown out, it will elect nearly all the county officials, and seat the Republican State senator and two representatives from this county. The Republican arguments were sup plemented by affidavits alleging fraud in the 84th precinct, objections to the returns from the 8th precinct are pure ly technical. Both precincts give Dem ocratic majorities, membership of the Legislature ia 71, and by the above cal culations the Republicans have 88 and probably 87.
