A Few Suggestions.
The sale of The Argus should
not affect its continued publica
tion and standing in the commun
ity or impair its value. Its daily
publication for the past ten years
and more marks the greatest
strides in the city's history as a
growing commercial and manu
facturing centre, and the people
of Goldsboro the business men
and other enterprising citizens
owe to it themselves to' see to it
that the value of the paper is not
underestimated at the sale, for
that of itself would be a great
drawback to the city as to its
standing in the great commercial
centres where newspapers are
esteemed the most influential and
unfailing factors in the upbuild
ing of trade and the maintenance
of prestige. Ten years is but a
brief span in the history of a
community or city, as time is
reckoned, but Goldsboro has
reason to be proud of her record
of achievements in the past ten
years. In that time the city has
more than quadrupled her man
ufacturing enterprises and thrib
led her volume of commerce, ac
quired electric lights and water
works and added other public
improvements of permanent na
ture and inestimable value and
along every avenue of progress
The Augus has taken the lead
and invited the footsteps of en
terprise, while the profits to
capital and the benefits to labor
resulting therefrqm have proved
the wisdom of its course and the
virtue of public spirit wisely di
rected. These things should not
be forgotten by the citizens of
Goldsboro in this crisis that
has come to their daily pa
per, but should be gravely con
sidered and magnanimously
met. Surely there are enough
sagacious business men of ample
means in Goldsboro to compre
hend the situation in all its bear
ings and realize just what a set
back it would be to the town for
its daily paper, after a record of
ten years of everv duty to the
community unfailingly done, to
go to pieces under a forced
sale, when the organization of a
stock company of a few thou
sand dollars capital could estab
lish the paper on a firmer basis
than ever before, save its pres
ent owners from loss and make
it a sure dividend paying enter
prise. It behooves our business
men to get together and consider
these suggestions.

Bradwtreet's Review of the Condition of
Trade.
New York, July 12. Brad
street's to-morrow will say: At
the close of the second week in
July the condition of trade gen
erally remains practically un
changed, although commercial
and industrial activity at many
points continues more conspicu
ous than usual at the mid-summer
season. Prices generally
continue strong, exceptions be
ing found among the cereals, hog
products, coffee and lead; while
as significant as anything, are
the exceptionally favorable out
look for trade in the fall, and the
encouraging promise for the
wheat and corn crops through
out the Central, Western and
Northwestern States.
Bessemer pig iron is higher
again, 14 being asked at Pitts
burg and 15 is expected in the
near tuture. fcsteel billets are
also higher, as are galvanized
and black sheets, hides and man
ufactured goods genera1 ly. The
heavy receipts of cattle and hogs,
good crop reports and reduced
purchases of wheat abroad will
explain reactions in the commod
ities referred to, while sugar,
print cloths and cotton have re
mained firm at last week's quo
tations. New business in dry
goods is quiet, but prices are
steady, and dress woollens firmer
on the higher price of raw wool.
Bank clearings throughout the
country this week present the
largest total since the period of
panic in 1893, ,146,000,000; 30
per cent. larger than the second
week of July, 1894, and 14 per

week in July, 1893-

There were 265 business fail

Among Eastern cities there is

Washington News.
Washington, D. C.'july 12.
The announcement that the
cruiser Uolumbia had been
placed in the dry dock at South
ampton to have her bottom
cleaned and to make ready for
her race across the ocean for a
warship record was confirmed
to-day by Secretary Herbert,
who it appears has given Capt.
Sumner permission to incur this
expense. This will materially
change the conditions under
which the Columbia will make
the race, placing her in better
condition as far as a clean hull
is concerned than most of the
trans-Atlantic passenger steam
ers when their records were
made and removes one of the
possible excuses should she
make a poor showing. It only
remains now to increase tne
force of firemen on the vessel to
make her the equal in all re
spects of other vessels of the
same coal capacity running be
tween New York and Europe.
Naval officers predict that the
Columbia will sight Sandy Hook
light in about seven days after
she leaves Southampton and that
it would be unfair to expect any
greater peiformance from her
for suoh a long voyage.

DISPENSARY MUDDLE.
An Ex-LiquorDesler Sentenced to ILight
Month's Imprisonment.
Columbia, S. C, July 12. A
few days ago the State authori
ties began to apply to ex-liquor
dealers, a section of the State
dispensary law which provides
that a Circuit J udge can enjoin
any man from selling liquor and
in case he violates it, permitting
him to be hauled up for contempt
of court, that the Judge can
then, on almost any kind of a
showing, declare him guilty and
sentence him to the penitentiary
doing away with the constitu
tional right of a trial, by jury,
which is guaranteed to every
man. In accordance with this
policy. Wm. Sheppard, an ex
liquor dealer, was jerked up here
yesterday before Circuit Judge
Townsend, His attorney made
a brilliant fight for the preserva
tion of the constitutional right.
This afternoon about 5 o'clock
the Judge rendered his opinion
overruling the objections of
Sheppard's attorney, adjudging
Sheppard guilty of contempt and
sentenced him to eight months
imprisonment in the State peni
tentiary and to pay a fine of
$200. Before the sun had set
pistols were cracking at a rapid
rate on one of the principal
streets of the city, Gervais street
and Sheppard was being carried
to the State prison like a mur
derer with blood streaming from
his garments, there being wounds
in his legs and neck. The war
rant for arrest and commitment
was placed in the hands of Li
quor Constable Speed for ser
vice. He got his force of men
out, and they finally surrounded
Sheppards place of business.
No one was in there but onep-
oard. Some fifteen or twenty
shots were fired, all together.
Civilian and city witnesses say
that Constable Jenkins started
the f usilade, firing in the store at
Sheppard three times befoie an
other report was heard. The
constables say that they called on
Sheppard to surrender, that he
refused to do so, whipped out
two pistols and began to fire at
Constable Speed. Speed's hand
and neck were grazed by bullets.
Constable Jenkins, who was us
ing two pistols, had his neck
grazed by a bullet. Chief of Po
lice Daly, who was close at hand,
had difficulty in getting Jenkins,
to stop firing, he says. Consta
ble Holloway fired four or five
shots into the store, too. Eight
bullets are imbedded in a par
tition in the store near which
Sheppard was standing in
side and Sheppard almost shot
him before he saw who he was.
Shepherd stated to him that he
would surrender to mm, out to
nobody else. He was taken out
into the street, placed in a wagon
and carried to the State peniteu
tiary, where his wounds were
dressed. The constables tell a
different story of the battle from
any of the other witnesses.
Speed said he went inside and
called on Sheppard to surrender.
Sheppard to id him he would not,
and pulled two pistols, firing at
him twice belore he could get nis
own pistols out. Then he says
Sheppard riodged behind a screen
and kept up his firing. J enuen
and the other fired in from this
outside. When Sheppard fell he
walked out and as he was going
out Sheppard fired again. Jen
kins tells a story agreeing witn
Speed is essential particulars.
Sheppard's two pistols, when
taken from mm, along witn a ra
zor, showed a total of four empty
chambers. Sheppard is an old
liquor dealer here, but the evi
dence adduced at the hearing
yesterday was to the effect that
he had given up the business as
soon as tne injunction was
passed upon him.
His brother was arrested to
day for violating the dispensary
law. Considerable excitement
was occssioned by the shooting.
Attorney-General Barber has
applied for a writ oi habeas corpus
before justice Fuller in the case
of La Far, one of the constables
jailed by Judge Simonton for

These Brightening Times.
The only industry that has
been paralyzed by the democratic
times is calamity wailing.
Encouraging reports come
from all over the country. Busi
ness is reviving more men are
being employed and the panic
is a thing of the past.
W ages go on being advanced;
times improving generally with
improved prices for all the sta
ples and all this in spite of the
McKinleyite howl that wages
could not be enlarged under the
new tariff.
The new fiscal year promises
to be a year of general prosper
ity, of large crops, profitable
business, universal employmeut
and good wages w ith a trade
large enough to justify all these
changes. 2 ' - -
The Biggest. Derrick in the World.
A piece of mechanicism, like
which there is none other in the
world, is the gigantic steel der
rick at the gigantic steel der
rick quarry, at Barre, Vt.. says
the New York World. The mast,
which is 99 feet high, f stands
higher than any similar one yet
erected. Both the mast and the
bcom are built of heavy steel
plates riveted together with hun
dreds of large bolts, and stiffen
ed with a number of trusses.
The mass is sustained by guys
lunning from the top to points
averaging about 700 feet distant,
and anchored to trees or great
rings set into the granite ledge.
The wire rope in the guys and
other rigging would make a con
tinuous line almost a mile in
length, and the weight of the
derrick, exclusive of rope, is
about 50.000 pounds.
The boom is 70 feet long, and
commands a lage amount of
working surface. None of the
Barre granite quarries are deep;
the tendency has always been to
extend operations laterally in
stead of going down into the
earth so that the advantage de
rived from the great length of
boom is apparent.
The machine is operated by
means of a powerful hoisting
engine and all the workings are
controlled by a single engineer.
There are steam derricks at all
the large quarries and granite
manufacturing plants in Barre,
but the power applies only to
the lifting; the booms with their
loads of stone in every instance
are swung around by hand
power. At the foot of the Tayn
tor derrick, heavily planked over
to protect it fron. flying stone
when blasting out refuse granite
is the turning gear connected
by a w're rope with the engine
house, where, by means of a
lever similar in its workings to
the reversing lever similar in its
on a locomotive, the engineer
alone is able to lift from the
bottom of the quarry, swing
around to the side track, and
place upon a f.at car a block of
granite weighing forty tons. The
largest single piece of stone ever
lifted from a quarry in America
by means of a derrick was taken
from this quarry, and weighed
fifty seven and one half tons.
The derrick has always been
found equal to any strain put
upon it, and has several times
broken chain links nearly two in
ches in diameter. The company
has an order for a granite shaft
fifty-five feet in length, which,
in the rough, will weigh nearly
100 Ions. It is already partly
quarried.
Under the British Flag.
New York, July 11. The
British steamer Ardandhu ar
rived at quarantine early this
morning from Cuban ports.
Capt. Walker says that while
the Ardandhu lay at Gibara, on
June 19th, Mr, Franc. R. F.
Woodward, claiming to be an
American citizen and a corres
pondent for the New York Morn
ing Journal, came on board his
vessel and placed himself under
the protection of the British
flag. He explained that he had
been in the mouncains with the
rebel army for the purpose of
obtaining information in the
pursuance of his duty as a news
paper correspondent. He was
twice captured by the Spanish
soldiers, but escaped. When he
attempted to leave the rebel
camp Gen. Maceo detained him
and endeavored to have him re
main as an officer. After sev
eral attempts he finally escaped
and made his way to the little
town of Banes. There he de
parted from his horse and took
passage in a Spanish steamer for
Gibara. He had been deprived
of all funds and papers. On the
arrival at Gibara he appealed to
the United consular agent, Jose
H, Beola, a Spanish merchant
and an officer in the Spanish
T 1 " "I 1 -,.
army, xie explained ms conai
tion and asked protection as an
American until he got a vessel to
New York, fearing immediate
imprisonment. The consular
agent refused to recognize him
as an American citizen. He de
clined to investigate Mr. Wood
ward's story by communicating
with Santiago de Cuba, where
Woodward stated his papers had
been nied with Uonsui Hyatt,
and insultingly declared that all
American reporters were hired
by the Cubans to writes lies. He
strongly recommended. Mr,
Woodward to give himself up to
the Spaniards, which would
have meant close confinement at
this time. Capt. Waleer says he
promised him protection under
the British flag in the face of all
obstacles and took him away.
Woodward, when seen this
morning morning at quarantine
said that the captain's statement
was true aud that he could add
nothing to it. He complained
bitterly of his treatment by the
United States consul at Gibara,
Jose H. Beola, who he claims
holds a commission in the Span
ish army.
Homeward Bound
Washington, July 11. Secre
tary Herbert received a cable
gram last night from Command
er Davis, of the cruiser Mont
gomery, which has been at Colon
since July 1st, announcing that
tne iNicaraguan canal commission
had completed its examination
or the Panama isthmus and that
the ship would sail in a few
hours for home via Key West.
Secretary Herbert thinks the
Montgomery will proceed toNew
York with the commission, as he
understands the board of health
at Key West will not allow the
party to land there. The quar
antine against Colon, which is
regarded as infected, being strin
gently enforced.
Treasury receipts and expendi
tures have both been running
heary so far this month. The
former have attained the aggre
gate of $10,979,000, or nearly $1,
250,000 a day, Sundays and holi
days excluded, and the expendi
tures foot up $23,318,000, making
the deficits $12,338,006. Since
July 1 st, the general treasury
balance, according to the printed
daily statement, has declined $2
000,000, standing at $191,518,000.
From this there is to be deduct
ed $6,527,616 for bonds and in
terest paid. The gold reserve
has declined from $107,557,000
to $1U7,21B,000 The amount of
Treasury notes and United States
notes redeemed in gold and re
issued amount to $533,189. It is
not believed that the deficit will
be very much increased for the
month over the figures it has now
reached and it may be reduced.
It was learned authoritively
to-day that no representations
had been made to the State De
partment by Senor Deputy de
Lome or anv other nerson to the.
effect tfiat Spain was displeased
with the alleged utterances of
Mr. Eustis, the United States
Ambassador to France, concern
ing Cuban affairs. Furthermore,
it is stated on the same author
ity that if Mr. Taylor, the Unit
ed States Minister to Madrid, has
denied to the Spanish Govern
ment that Eustis uttered the
statements attributed to him, he
did so without explicit instruc
tions from the State Depart
ment. Whatever Mr. Taylor did
in regard to the matter, if he did
anything at all, was, it is stated,
the result of private arrange
ments between Mr. Eustis and
himself. Such a course would
have been exceedingly irregular
and for that reason it is not be
lieved by the department to have
been pursued. It is belied that
if the Spanish Minister had been
instructed by his Government to
lay a complaint against Mr. Eus
tis before Secretary Olney, he
would have gone direct to Fal
mouth, where Mr. Olney is
spending the summer.
Spaniards Routed.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 11. A
cablegram to the Times-Union
from Key West, Fla., says: Late
advices to this city from Havana
state that a battle was fought
near Manzanillo on the 3rd, be
tween 500 fresh Spanish troops,

troops were completely routed.
The insurgents captured fifty
Spaniards.
The son of Martinez Campos
is reported very sick in a private
hospital in Havana with yellow
fever.
In the battle fought between
Amador Guerra and Bocres, the
Cuban leader was killed, being
the only one lost by the insur

almost annihilated, only two
officers and six soldiers- escap
ing. The report is confirmed that
Martinez Campos has issued
orders that all rebels captured
shall be immediately shot.

A Sad Case.
Cincinnati. Julv 12. "I ask
not for justice; I beg for mercy,"
was the pleading of Bessie
Johnson, in the Police Court

drunkenness. Judge Gregg had
warned her that on her next ap

habitual criminal act against her.
She was found Wednesday night
in a beastl v state of intoxication .
In the Police Court the records
of various arrests and sentences
were read. "You asked me t,n
do that the last time," replied
ms Honor, "and 1 did. Three
years and costs." Turning
around she cried, "I'll not serve
it. I'll kill myself." Reaching
the top of the stone steps lead

Mrs. Nobles Sentenced to be Hang
ed.
Atlanta, Ga., July 11 A speci
al to the Constitution from Jef
fersonville, Ga., states that Mrs.
William Nobles and Gus Fambles
were found guilty of murder to
day and sentenced to hang on
August 10th. Mary Fambles
was sentenced to life imprison
ment. Debbie Nobles was ac
quitted and was also Dalton
Joyner. a negro, who was accus
ed by Gus Fambles of having
assisted him in the murder.
Three other negroes who were
arrested two weeks ago on sus
picion were not indicted. The
jury was out only a few minutes
to-day. The State had brought
out every detail of the murder
from the beginning of the plot
to the accomplishment and the
burial of the body in the shallow
grave. It was shown that the
old man had rebuked his daugh
ter. Debbie, for immoral con
duct. She was defended by the
mother. From this the quarrel
resulted. The mother and
daughter turned upon the father.
Each of them promised to give
$10 to have the old man killed.
It was proyed that Mrs. Nobles
enticed her husband to the crib
to look for a thief and when he
stopped she struck him on the
head and Fambles finished him.
Mrs, Nobles, who is 60 years
old, tqok the verdict and sent
ences with the utmost indiffer
ence. Within a minute after the
sentence had been pronounced,
she and her daughter, Debbie,
were laughing at some trivial
mattei.
