Memoiial Day.
The first strawberries of the season
made their appearance in this office yes
terday, from the garden of Mr. Henry
M. Meetze.
Roddick & Co., a Wilmington firm,
will open to-day with a general stock of
fancy goods in the building next to Elias
& Cohen on Tryon street. Their adver
tisement will be found in another place.
The Newton Enterprise says:
"Since the inauguration of the prohibi
tion campaign the price of liquor has
been falling every week. "We are told
that a load was taken to Charlotte last
week, and not rinding a purchaser at
any price was brought back home.
Mr. William Battley, a young man
who has been long afflicted with con
sumption, died in this city Sunday
evening about 7 o'clock. He was buried
yesterday afternoon, the funeral ser
vices taking place from Calvary Mis
sion Church.
The engine of the freight train go
ing towards Wilmington last night,
jumped the track at Mc Alpine's Creek
and rolled down the embankment. No
one was hurt. The engineer and fire
man made a miraculous escape. The
passenger train due here a little after
u o'clock, was delayed about 5 hours.
At a meeting of the fire department
last night, it was resolved to turn out
in full to-day to assist the memorial dis
play. It was also resolved to observe
the 20th of May with appropriate cere
monies, and among other things to pro
cure a speaker. The department will
turn out in full and in uniform in hon
or of the "Pirates of Penzance," on the
night of the 20th.
A gentleman residing in this city,
who is materially interested in the
success of the Keely motor, has just, re
turned from Philadelphia, where he,
with others, were treated to an exhibi
tion of its powers and progress. Im
mediately after the test, it is under
stood, the stock, -which has been stand
ing at $5 a share for a long time ad
vanced to $14. Keely asserts that he
will be ready for a public and final test
by the first of July.
memorial Orator
The ladies of ttre Memorial Associa
tion have been so fortunate as to se
cure Col. Thomas as the orator this af
ternoon. This greatly enhances the in
terest of the occasion, as Col. Thomas
is always a graceful and brilliant
speaker. The roll will be called by Mr.
Geo. E.Wilson.
A Challenge by Telegraph and a ITIeet
injr in Person
A "cussing out" over the wires comes
in such a round-about way, the words
fall in such a cold and spiritless manner
from the transmitter that the instance
is perhaps rare in which the insult
provokes a collision. An exception to
he rule, however, we have to record.
More than two years ago a well
known and popular telegraph operator,
stationed at this place, in an irritable
moment received an insult from a
brother operator in Greenville, S. C.
Generous and liberal in everything; else
he could not brook: a personal refleetlon
and the sting rankled in' his mind. For
two years whenever the two operators
have been in communication the words
have seemed curter, the letters cut
shorter, until the unfeeling instruments
themselves have seemed to espouse the
quarrel. Last Saturday they broke out
into angry bickering, hot words were
exchanged for hot words, faster and
more furious grew the war, the click
click of the instruments was deafening
when, suddenly, it reached a climax,
the deadly insult was given and re
ceived and the instruments resumed
their ordinary slow and business-like
tone.
"Will you meet me and give me satis
faction ?" was said in a cold and delib
erate manner.
"I will," was the answer, in a manner
equally cold and deliberate. :
"Where?" '
"On half way ground. The passenger
train meet at Gastonia. I will meet
you there to-night."
"O. K."
This wa3 all. The Charlotte operator
closed the instrument, obtained leave of
abseice, got into his coat and boarded
the train for Gastonia. One o'clock in
the morning, the moon shining bright,
Gastonia, and the other train in sight.
A few minutes interval and the antag
onists confronted each other. The
Charlotte man weighs about 130 pounds.
The Greenville man 170. The latter
had two friends with Mm evidently to
insure fair play. A hundred yards were
measured off, sufficient to take them
from the range of observation, a suita
ble spot was selected and the two men
laid off their coats.
. The Charlotte operator, quick and ac
tive, but otherwise at a : disadvantage,
made the onset and delivered several
well-directed blows upon r- the : face of
the other. The latter in hisrturn closed
with him and attempted to throw him.
The activity of the first again came to
l'is assistance and hetfccessfally got
the inturn on his enemy, but, in the
tail, unfortunately struck his head
against the corner of a ; fence, j His at
tention was totally absorbed in looking
at stars for tho nflxt tw Sftcnnds which
his antagonist took advantage of to in-

way. He sat ortopof the Charlotte
man and beat him till hi was too tired

. The Greenville (S. C.) News, yester
day m an extra gives an account of the
arrest m that city, of Wm
Henry Priester, the Barnwell patri
cide; the particulars of which, crime
appeared jn The Observer, of tU 6tK
Inst. We condense from the News;
Yesterday morning at about 5 o'clock
JJ.h88w inE' Edwards, Geo. G. Allen
and W. R. Parry returned to the city
,om, i .short triP in th direction of
Charlotte, coming in on the fast mail.
While coming down Washington street,
when nearly opposite . Westfield, a man
without baggage quietly boarded the
car and took a seat after a short in
different glance at the other occupants,
lie was immediately recognized by the
three gentlemen above named as
WILLIAM HENRY PRIESTER,
formerly a cadet at the Greenville Mili
tary Institute, who killed i his father,
Captain "Billie" Priester, at his home
in Allendale on the 28th of April, and
fled. The horrible circumstances of
the crime are too fresh in the public
memory to require repetition. The
three gentlemen exchanged glances,
butaaid nothing, and kept an apparent
ly sleepy silence. Priester deposited
nje cents in the box, and being remind
ed by the driver that more was requir
ed, drew a handful of silver money
from his pocket, to obtain the needed
amount; his hand trembling and jerk
ing nervously as he did so. That was
the only sign he gave of agitation. He
left the car at the Exchange Hotel, and
entered the office. Messrs. Edwards,
Allen and Parry supposing that he had
gone in to procure a room, rode down
to the city warehouse, hurried to the
guard house and notified Policeman
Carter of Priester's presence, after
which they returned to the Exchange
to watch him. There they learned, af
ter some enquiry, that he had gone to
Messrs. Hogan & Hillhouse's livery
stable, about a block above. Upon go
ing there they found him standing in
the office, waiting for a horse to be
hitched to a buggy that he had just or
dered. They walked quietly about the
stable, and posted themseives about it
so that he could not escape.
Policeman Carter arrived in a few
minutes, and walked into the office.
Priester glanced at him hurriedly,
reached around, and drew out a plug of
tobacco from which he bit off a piece
as he strolled off, apparently careless
and unconcerned. The policeman laid
his hand on Priester's back, and said :
"CONSIDER YOURSELF UNDER ARREST."
"What for?" demanded Priester ex
citedly, facing around and looking the
officer in the face.
"Por killing your father," was the re
ply. "You've got the wrong man," said
Priester. "I'm my brother's brother."
Mr. Carter turned to the gentlemen
who had given the information, and
after a moment's conference, was
advised by them' to make the ar
rest and keep the prisoner until his
identity could be established. This he
decided to do, and immediately started
toward the guard house, Priester walk
ing quietly with him, but betraying
agitation and excitement in the tones
of his voice. After having denied his
identity, he betrayed it before walking
half a block by saying that he "would
like to fix some way to see his wife."
Just at the door of the guard house he
again asJSed "what's this for," but a
repetition of the information was de
nied, thebnly reply being a request to
"come aleng. A few minutes after
entering: jthe guard house he asked, the
policemen if they knew whether his
father was dead. Upon their reply
that they thought he was, the prisoner
burst into a passion of weeping, and
from that moment seemed to lose all
control over himself. - -
He again asked if some way could
not be found to let him see his wife,
and amid his somewhat incoherent talk
he was heard to say more than once,
"I WISH I WAS DEAD,"
and that he would be ready to die if he
was half as cood as his wife, to whom
his mind seemed to turn constantly as
a source of comfort and hope. The
buggy that had been hitched un for
Priester, had meanwhile been taken by
two of the gentlemen who first recog
nized him, and they drove up to the
Military Institute and woke Captain1
Patrick, requesting him to come down
and identity the prisoner. His services
in that way were not required, how
ever, as before he arrived at the euard
house Priester had acknowledged his
identity fully. He seemed to "let
down completely, and wept and talked
at random, his constant cry to every
one of the several former acquaintances
Deing,
"ruAY for me!"
He looked at every one who ap
proached him imploringly and exclaim
ed piteously "pray for me." This' was
the burden of his cry. Rev. JGLIL-Hall
was sent tor, who came and prayed
with him. He. seemed to. have a dread
of being lynched-, and looked nervously
and suspiciously on every One who ap
proached him. Later in thetday he was
visited by-tbe Rev. Mr. Hudson, who
also prayed with him. and by Captain
x-HincK, nis proiessor wnne at tne
ureenvme institute.

Ili3 appearance certainly would not
stamp him as a murderer. He is about
5 feet 5 inches high and rather slen

walking erect and holding Inm3elf

being dark and apparently somewhat
sun burned. Yesterday he was dress
ed in the pantaloons and waistcoat of
a business suit, with checks of quiet
colors, apparently almost new, white
shirt and collar that had evidently been
worn soma daysv and no Cravat. His
eyes were inflamed and bloodshot from
weeping, and he trembled from weak
ness, until he leaned against the win
dow sill where the cool breeze could
reach him. He seemed to be somewhat
stronger after a while, but was appar
ently unable to collect his ideas at all.
After shakihg-hands-with the reporter,
he did net seem to understand his
name or business until it had been re
peated several times, -after which his
eyes lost their . Vacant . look, ceased to
wander about the; floor : and ceiling,

him, as if he had tried to remember,
and then relinquished the attempt.
. "Were you not at Bainbridge, Ga. ?
"Was it not therei yett- sold your horse
jnd buggy??, asked the reporter, add
ing, "a gentleman whom you met there
wrote that you had been there and sold
your horse.
"Bainsboro; yes," said Priester, a
light apparently breaking on him, "yes,
it was Bainsboro."
The place was Waynesboro and Pries
ter's confusion was probably added to
by the reporter's mistake.
"Where did you go from there?"
"I went straight through to Char
iotte," quickly and clearly.
."Where did you go then, did vou come
'oh here ?"
"Yes, sir; I went to Lincolnton, and
frem there came here."
" f ou got here this morning ?"
"Yes, sir."
"You were going to your wife's I
suppose?"
Again his hands pressed his forehead,
and again he hesitated, but he replied.
x es, sir : i wanted to get to my wife.
"Did you think you could lie there
until you could get off.
"I wanted to get to my wife sir;" was
again the response. "1 wanted to see
my wife.
"Have you heard anything from
home since you left?"
"No sir ; not a word."
'Have you seen anything of what has
been said in the papers?" he was
asked.
".No sir, not a thing," still slowly and
coniusedly, Dut more intelligently than
formerly. "I got hold of the Charlotte
paper of the sixth, but that had nothing
about after some hesitation, "about
me."
At the close of the interview with
the reporter, his counsel, Mr. Williams,
advised him to see no one but his spec
ial menus, and asked the sheriff not to
allow any one to disturb him, when
Priester imploringly begged the sheriff
not to let him be disturbed, the idea of
being lynched deeming t press upon
his mind. The sheriff assured him that
he should not be disturbed, which
seemed te relieve him.
SENDS FOR HIS WIFE.
Policeman Carter had been urged by
Priester to go for his wife, and did so.
Mrs. Priester received the intelligence
of the capture quietly, and said she
was not at all surprised by her hus
band having come here, as she had
heard from him and knew where he
was. although she had not written him.
She also said that it would have de
pended upon how he came to house
whether she would have been afraid
of him. If he had come in one of his
raving moods, she would have feared
for her life, but if he had come quietly,
she would not have been alarmed. She
come nromDtlv. and while on the wav
stated that young Priester's family had
known him to be
INSANE FOR THREE MONTHS,
but that family pride had kept them
from revealing it. She also said that
after he had killed his father he said
that there were two more he wanted
to kill, meaning herself and his twin
brother, and then he d kill himself. As
soon as young Priester saw his wife in
the hallway of the jail he burst into a
passion of tears and inarticulate ap
peals. With wonderful self-command
she soothed him with whispered words,
and and at his earnest request all of
those present withdrew except the
sheriff, who remained to make it cer
tain that Priester, if he is insane,
would do his wife no injury, although
he certainly gave no evidence of any
feeling but the most intense devotion
and earnest faith in her. At the con
clusion of this interview, he returned
to his cell and cast himself on the
couch, completely prostrated and ex
hausted. Mrs. Priester seems to be the
one to whom, above all others he re
lies for comfort and strength. His
conduct towards her is more like that
of a child seeking consolation from its
troubles from a stronger person, than a
grown man. If he has not the most
unbounded trust in and love oi ner, ne
is certainly a most consummate dis
sembler.
Public opinion as to his sanity is di
vided.. Some think that his coming to
a place where he was so well known is
evidence of insanity, while others re
gard, it as a well-matured plan to es
cape, which he would have effected
had he not been recognized on the
street car. Capt. Patrick, of the Green
ville Institute, when at the Institute,
regarded him as remarkably polite and
gentlemanly and a fine soldier, but
lacking in purpose and easily thrown
off balance. He says that the feeling
between him and his father was one of
marked affection, and that he must
have been laboring under mentalab
beration when he committed the crime
of parricide.
The reporter of. the Daily News, who
investigated this case, his, in the course
of his professional'life, seen many men
and women under the most trying cir
cumstancesstanding under the gal
lows, dying from other means, sudden
ly hurt, and bereaved of friends and
relatives but he has never seen a hu
man being as
UTTERLY BROKEN DOWN
as Priester was yesterday. Functions
of mind and body seemed to be entire
ly paralyzed from excitement, and his
moral and pnysical courage were en
tirely gone.,. Capt. Patrick says that
Priester "let down" completely while
he was in the Institute, when it was
thought that his brother was dying.
lie does not think that he lacks physi
cal courage, however.

A telegram was received last night
from the intendant of Allendale re
questing the officers to "hold on" to
Priester until officers and papers can
be sent up for him.

J. FEED. E PFINOKB,
President Rockbridge Alum SprtngsCo.
. After twelve rears' absence, I return to this post
of duty, it Is hardly necessary to dilate to the
Southern public upon the virtues and value of this
mineral water. It has in the last half century
made a record of cures In chronic diseases which
for variety and aggravation of the cases brought
under its Influence Is unitpproached by any known
mineral water In this country. The professional
testimony to this effect Is distinguished and unim
peachable. But It is of the preparations now being made by
the new proprietors tor the proper entertainment
of the public I would say a few words.
A great work of expurgation and renovation Is
now going on at the old Alum Springs, including
a thorough system of drainage, a new and abun
dant water supply of pure freestone from the
mountain, repainting and new roofing, a very large
Introduction of new furniture, and in general a
thorough overhauling of the entire premises.
The elegance of the new "Jordan Alum," Its
spacious and commodious "Grand Hotel" and cot
tages, and the beauty of Its grounds, are wisely
known to the springs-going public.
My aim and earnest effort shall be to keep this
now combined establishment In a manner to give
satisfaction to all reasonable guests.
An excellent livery is engaged, under a contract
Imposing a reasonable tariff of charges. All the
customary diversions are provided for, such as
band and ball room music, bowling and billiards,
and all that; but I do not "bank" much on these
things. My main efforts shall be directed, with
the aid of an efficient staff, to make the patrons
of the place comfortable and "at home," and re
gain. If possible, for this attractive summer resort
Its old popularity and prestige.
