Chedister. The state, in the absence of Solicitor Gudger, is represented toy; W. P. Brown. A large number of wit nesses are in attendance . Only one wit ness was examined when court took a recess after dark last night. This wit ness was Robert F. Whittemore, a son of the defendant, C. C. Whittemore. He was examined by Frank Carter for the defendants and cross-examined1 by W. P. Brown for the state. The further taking of testimony will be resumed this morning at 10 o'clock.

The question before the court is whether or not the defendants should be granted (bail. The inquiry will per haps ' consume a large portion of today. The defendants are still in the custody of the-sheriff. It seems that ihe affray began in Asheville. Greenwood and a number of his companions were here Saturday on business:. In the party were Lum Whit temore and his Itwo sons. A quarrel between the men started! up shortly af ter leaving town, and was kept up until the-party reached Democrat postoffice. just north of Weaverville, when the shooting was done.

MANY THOUSANDS OF STRIKERS IN PARADE MEN LOOKED PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY GOBINS ORDER CONDEMNED. Wilkesbarre, Pa,, Sept. l.The strik ing miners today paraded, turning out in thousands. The men looked pros perous, cheerful and confident. Among the mottoes were: "The Jews had a Pharoah, we have a Baer." "The modern god, G. F. Baer." "We won't be white slaves amy Ion- ger Mitchell we trust, Morgan can't bust us. At a mass meeting resolutions passed condemning General Gobin's shoot to kiill" order. No stock is taken here m Piatt's assertion that the strike will end in two weeks. SAMUEL NORMAN, THE - ACCUSED MURDORER. CAUUHI Samuel Norman, the young man who has for three years been wanted in. Waynesville for the alleged murder of Robert Warren, is again a prisoner. Policeman W. J. Watson of Waynes ville made the arrest . at Spartanburg, and the prisoner was brought here yes terday morning by the officer who was on his way to Waynesville. Norman has for some time had employment in a' Spartanburg cotton mill. It would convey the exact-truth to refer to him as a beardless youth. He had not reach ed his majority when he killed Warren nor does his appearance yet suggest the criminal. A glance at Norman gives-the impression that his conscience is as innocent of wrong doing as h3s face is of hair. Poiceman Watson also had in custody Will Roberts, colored, who is wanted in Waynesville to answer the charge of burglary. Smoke Exponfenta Clear Havana Ci gars, 5 inch Perfecto shape, 2 for Z5c.

S TAKEN BY "ENEMY Block Island, R. I., Sept. l.-After a bombardmentof two hours and a quar ter, Admiral Higginson today captured the signal and wireless telegraphy sta tions on Boston hill and is now hold ing the great Salt Pond harbor. The signal corps abandoned the station and escaped. ' The fleet under Admiral Hig ginson is anchored off the breakwaters. Wods Hole, Mass., Sept. 1. Of course the seizure and the destruction of teie praphic and cable facilities were figur ative, and It required the decision of an umpire to make plain whether or not the point attempted by Admiral Hig ginson had been won. As the landing was made, the telegraph and telephone oflices were entered by sufficient force to have destroyed the property, or at least the instruments and at the same time a boat's crew had located the ca bles with grappling hooks and had held them a sufficient period to have allow ed for the cutting of them, there seemed to have been no question that the move had been entirely successful.

Robert MoWilliams, aged 42, a Baptist, replies to the clergy man's divorce suit and makes astonish ing charges. He was very affectionate before the wedding but after the cere mony his manner changed. Upon en tering the house he ordered her to pre pare the bridal supper, which consisted of stale bread, cream of wheat and warm milk. The minister declared this was her future diet.- She was denied eggs, meat, coffee and tea. The girl bride became weak on this, which , be came nauseating to her.. At the same time the girl was the victim of the minister's licentious treatment. Once when she resisted he covered her face with a rag saturated with a drug caus ing unconsciousness. After five days of (brutal treatment the bride returned to her parents, a physical wreck. Mc Williama is wealthy . Alimony is asked.

Coxe suggested that Senator Pritchard should let his party friends throughout the state know the exact time of the presdent's visit as a telegram received from Rutherford cOunty indicated that a great many would be glad to come to Asheville. Mayor Miller, on being asked to pre side over the meetings said he presumed it would be well to open business by having an explanation of the object of themeeting from Senator Pritchard . The senator thereupon told of his recent visit to Oyster Bay and, of the Presi dent's expressed desire to make a stop at some point in tle Old North State, should he find it possible to visit Chat tanooga? The. president had permitted Senator-Pritchard to designate the point at Which the" stop should be made, knd as the senator had designated Asheville he hoped that the city would rise to the Occasiion and give the party a royal welcome.
