.'The remarkable Interest in the Y.
k M. C. A. building fund on, tha part of
the, citlaeng of Charlotte, and - the
great enthuBiaarn of , the committees
having1 the canvass In charge has not
Abated, but .has considerably Increase
- M, The amount of; tne gifts yester
1 cay,, greatly pleased' those who have
the natter In charge.. .They expected
that after the first day or two the in
terest would begin to lag and; he fact
hashls Is not so argues that the move
ment has even a greater hold upon
the publlo than any had thought pos
sible. Few think that the' movement
, has been inaugurated but three days,
and when it is remembered that $19,
. 000 'has been-secured in this short
- tlmef in Addition to $20,000 by the di
rectors, and trustees it seems incred
, Itabla for a city of this size. Never
has Charlotte taken hold of a public
project with such great enthusiasm.
The size of the gifts, too, is remark
able. In addition to those mention
ed in yesterday's paper the following
gifts of $500 each should be made
note or:
Mr. D. H. Anderson, .
Mr. Willis Brown,
Messrs. Davidson & Wolfe,
Mr. Peter Gilchrist,

Mr. J. W. Pharr.
Truely this evidence of a new spirit
in old Charlotte Is most gratifying and
beyond a doubt the spirit of co-operation
on the part of the citizens of
all -classes will surely bring a great
er building than has ever been dream
ed possible for th. 'Young Men's
Christian Association.
The fact that men of large affairs
are giving practically all of their
lime to this work proves that they
nave the interest of their employes In
the city dr-'ply at heart and this spir
it on the part of the employer has
b.een met In the same spirit that it
is given by the younger men of the
city who are assuming their portion
of the burden of the campaign. It
surely is a remarkable sight to see
these men of large Interests at one
table and the younger business men
of the city at another, meeting, to
gether In the spirit of good fellow
ship. While there is not rivalry in
this great committee,, yet'of the sub
committees this is true. , In-the young
men's commltee especially there Is
keen rivalry to see which company
ehall secure the largest amount day
by day and the largest total for the
campaign.

pleasing and the ones by Mr. Mar

FORMER CONDUCTOR ARRESTED
Police Believe He Katows Something
of the Death of Dr. Townsend, Who
Was Mysteriously : Murdered "In
Staten Island, j"
New York, Jan. 28 Suspected of
knowing something about the death
of Dr. Charles W. Towfisend, of
Staten Island, who was mysteriously
murdered In his home Friday night,
the police last night arrested John
Bell, a former street car conductor,
at his home in Brooklyn. The sus
picions of the police were directed
toward Bell by discovery that .his
wife died about a year ago from an
operation attending childbirth. Dr.
Towhsend was attending the woman
and had charge of. the operation, as
sisted by other doctors. Bell Is re
ported to have. blamed Dr. Townsend
for his wife's death. He was taken
to police headquarters" and ques
tioned. He declared that Dr. Town
send was no friend of his, but that
he had nothing whatever to do with
the murder of the doctor. It is
probable Bell will be taken before
Mrs. Townsend for identification.
Inspector Schmittburger said to
day that his detectives say - they can
produce two witnesses who claim to
have seen, Bell In the vicinity of the
Townsend home and in other parts
of New. Brighton Friday night and

Special to The Observer. -
purham, Jan, 28. -There was
preaching In the county Jail yester
day, the devotional exercises being
held by Rev, E. M. Hoyle, pastor of
the Mangum Street .Methodist church,
This servlco was at $ o'clock in the
afternoon. " In addition, to the minis!
ter, there y ere with him several lay
men and-; two ladles, ; these' assisting
In the song service and other featuret
of the i devotional service. This
service . was' held especially for the ;
two men who are soon to die on the
gallows, John . Hodges, f; the wife-
murderer, and Freeman f Jones, col ;
ored, burglar, both of whom are un- !
der sentence of death ' to die In 12
days. V Incldenully, the servics was
for. the benefit of the others, not; a
very large number, now confined In
the jail awaiting trial at the .May
term of court. , f
' Both Hodges and Jones '.were In
terested listeners to the preaching
and other: features of the- devotional
exercises. - In addition to .the ser
mon, .there were special prayers ; for
Hodges, who Is confined on the sec
ond floor of the Jail, and for Jones;
on the first floor, .the preacher pray
ing, with them. Hodges retains his
steady nerve and said yesterday that
he was ready and even' anxious for
the end; that he had no reason why
ho should longer live and that he
was, ready to meet death and the
future. According to the manner in
which he expressed this,-and accord
ing to his former- declarations, he
seems to be exceedingly anxious for
It all to end.
Jones said yesterday that he was
ready and willing. He does' not say
much. All he says Is In answer to di
rect questions. He says he has given
up all hope of being saved from the
rope and he has no complaint to
make.
The sheriff's office has been bom
barded with a great many applica
tions for tickets to attend the hang
ing. The space In which the men
are to be hung Is a small one and it
is doubtful if the full number allowed
will be admitted. The scaffold Is
now piled in the rear of the court
house, between the Jail and the build
ing in which the two men heard the
death sentence passed. It Is all
ready to be put together and this
will require but very little work or
time. 1
Hodges, the murderer, has ex
pressed a desire to have his children
with him at a religious servloe be
tween now and the day of execution.
This will probably be granted next
Sunday, or any time that he may
