TIA. (
About 150 good citizens of Asheville,
spent last niigihit in" ithe county Jail.",
In and arouiKl the jail (the scene mks
quite suggestive of war's laiarums. Tit
gate leading into the premises was
chained amid locked, and! (whoever de
sired to pass that way. must first 'give
good) and satisfabtory reasons to two
sentinels posted there andi arined iwith
Springfield rifles. A ifew groups of men
stood in the danup, chill jail yard!, chat,
iting in. low tomes. A passing lantern
ifromi time to time (brought ouit a hun
4red high lights in ;the Iblaclc toned pic
ture ithe gileam of arms and accoutre
imients. The jail was crowded to over
flowing with men under arms. A room
of the jailor's thouise, ihardi lby, nvas filled!
with armed meis. ' lEverywhere tthe fblue
and buff of the United iStates army jos
tled the quiet garb of tciitizenshitp, and
convenient to every hand was a Spring
field or a Wincihaser. '
All this was for the protection of the
lives of four imiserable tcreatures of the
Ufndier world, iwho, securely locked! .in
their iron cage, listenied eagerly 166 every

. TROUBLE (RUMORIMD.
Ijate yesterday afterh'oon it was gen
erally rumored that an attempt would
be made during the aright to lynch the
men who participated in the fobbery a t
fEJmma postoffice UTriday night, in
which sSaml. Alexander received wounds
ffchat may result in his death. . There iwaa
undoubtedly this much truth in the ru
mor : a meeting was to be held in the
evening. Where, by whom, by how
.many these things are unknown
Whether thte meeting was actually held,
and df it was, with what result these
are also unknown.
About 5 o'clock Sheriff Xee telegfaph
edi Governor Aycock, informing him' of
the sltate of affairs, and asking that
local militia be ordered: out. He also
began) summoning a posse of citizens to
guard! the jail. .
iMULITIA ORDERED OUT.
iBy' 7 o'clock about 75 citizens were on
duty ait .ithe jail. Soon atfter a series ox
strokes soleminly "boomed out from1 the
re alarm Ibell . . . Tthey meaait : - 'Blu e

Pekin, . Feb. 11. The dowarger em
ipress is inclined to be argumentlve re
garding1 tthe infliction of capital pujnish.4
ment om guilty officials.. -. She teler
gnaphed 1A Hung (Chamtg " Uoday de
imandling to know! what the tfor eigner.9
meant by changing" the tertos of peacei
She eoys the terms demanded the
verest (punishment of leaders in JyroV
-portion to their crimes. . That wa$
what 'China agreed to inflict yetl no,J
aiies, each some 40 strong, turned out
and miarched to the jail1, where Cip
tains Young and Chedester . reported to
Sheriff Lee. ' All 'spent, the night in
guard duty, the citizens with, twelve and
the soldiers with fifteen reminds of car,
tridges leach. Crowding around the
fires, they made themselves as comfort
able as (passible, telling stories and! ex
changing jests. A box" of cigars and
one of cigarettes, sent down by John O'-
Donnell, helped out considerably.
Early in the evening all the prison
ers concerned in the affair were pl'acedj
in the iron cage tog'ether. The two;
wounded men, Johnson- and IToster, got"
uip and Carried their toeds into the cage.
None of them' seemed frightened.
About 6 : 30 the officers (had) information
that a mob of angry men, 400 strong,
were on itheir way from West Asheville.
But they came not.
The vigilance of the authorities Will
not toe relaxed today nor tonight. Should
any attempt be made upon the jail, the
general opinion is that it will be more
likely "to toe arnade tonight than it was
last nirht.
Public feeltog is igreatly divided in the.
(matter. There are many men in Ashe
ville who would iparticipate in lynching"
the men ; tout the fact that court is now
in session will lundoirbtedly go far to
ward restraining violence.
General. confidence is expressed in. the
disposition the presiding juds'e will
make of the case. . ;
TRUES BLL RETURNFEI .
The Oazelte is glad! to state that the
grand jury has returned a true toi'll for
burglary against (Frank (or Dudley)
Johnson alias'Frahk Smith: R.S. QaJtes;
Ben, IFtoster and Harry Mlills, and that
they will toe tocbought speedily to trial.
The penalty for tourglary in the first
degree in North Carolina is death. . To
constitute burglary in - the first degree
there must bie a forcible entrance, in
the night time, to a residence. There
are various modifications of the term1
"residence" as used' in this "connection.
Blackstone cites the "chambers of a
college, the inns of a court," and de
fines a residence, in general as a place
where anyone is 'accustomed ito sleep.
Thiere are also modifications of t "en
trance toy force.' Entrance 'by (fraud' is
construed, as forcible entrance, and has
been so held In North Carolina1.
.About 30 years ago, in .'Raleigh, there
was a case almost iparallel to this one.
Three men asked to (be allowed to come
into a store, saying they wished to look
at some meat. They overpowered the
proprieltor . and robbed the store . They
nm-ro irmvniptletdj and executed.
Solicitor Ferguson wil be assistel in
the iprosecution .by Martin & Webb.
Several lawyers yesterday 3tated the
opinion that the- men who entered the
srttore at Emmia can be conlcted, under
the indictment, of a capital affense.

PiNiESj
Washington, Feb. 11. For the; first
time this sessioni there was an out
burst of partisan rancor in the house!
today. A reference by Mahon (Pa.),
to .absorption "in expenses" of nearly!
all the money raised at the Boer re-
Lief meeting in Washington caused
Sulzer, who presided at the meetina1.
to consider it a reflection on him and
a revival of a caimpaign' ' k
story that he had- embezzled tha
money. He denounced it as a mali- '
dious falsehood. '
The incident occurred! in h ccnYse '
of a five minutes debate on the diplo
matic and consular' appropriation bill
and the friction was caused by the re-
fusal of Hitt, acting1 chafrman, tk ex
tend Sulzer's time and to enable him
to finish a pro-Boer speech. Sulzer de
clared the story originated with. Sec
retary Heath of" the national republi
can committee. , -
In the course of Ma speech oni the
Boer war Sulzer characterized It as
the .greatest crime of the nineteenth
century and the' anost outrageous war
in history. - . - ,
