ALL A CANARD,
A WILD STORY ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT'S BEING SHOT.
HI IIXAR8 Tni N1WB WITU MUCH SURPRISE.
Peospiot Houm, N Y., Sept. 11.
The most astonishing incident of a some
what uneventful day was the receipt of
several telegrams asking if President
Cleveland had really been shot and if
he was muoh hurt. ; Editor Butler, of
the Buffalo News, asked for an imme
diate answer. From the Western Union
offioe in New York oame an inquiry
about the President's condition and this
evening a similar dispatch was received
from Plattsburg, froraDr.Ward, who
had reaehed that point on his way home
at Albany. As Fresident Cleveland
was in the enjoyment :of perfect health
and no accident had: befallen him, of
course only one answer could be made.
.What puzzles people here is how suoh
a rumor was set afloat. It eould hardly
have had its origin in this vicinity, for
no such absurd statements were sent out
from the telegraph offioe at this inn and
no dispatch of such tenor was sent from
the only other telegraph office in the
neighborhood that at Paul Smith's

For some time efforts have been made
in; a quiet way to induce tne estaDiisn-
ment of a female oollege in Henderson.
A large, enthusiastic meeting was held
at the court-house Thursday night of
this week, to give direotion and effect to
the movement Col. Wm. H. 8. Bur
gwyn was made ehainnann, and Mr.
Thad. R. Manning secretary. Rev. J.
D Arnold announoed the purpose of the
meeting, and stated that a number of
the leading oitisens of this plaoe had
been in correspondence with itev. J. M.
Rhodes, president of Littleton female
oollege, proposing that he resign his
present field and take charge of this en
terprise. Mr. xvhodes then addressed
the meeting, and was followed by
Messrs D.Y.Cooper, S. Watkins and
J. R. Young. Four thousand dollars
was subscribed at onoe, and this has
been increased to $5,600. It is pro
posed to raise from the citizens of the
town $8,000. When this is done Mr.
Rhodes has agreed to take $7,000 ef
stock, and to furnish in addition $2,500
Worth of apparatus and furniture. The
oollege is to be non-sectarian and will
be governed by aboard of truf tees, who
will be elected on the evening
of September 20th. The build
ings will probably be located at
the oorner at Williams street and An
dre s avenue, fronting on Williams
street and the Raleigh & Gaston rail
road. Three committees aro soliciting
subscriptions, with good cuocess, viz..
Rev. M.V McDuffieandD Y Cooper;
Rev. A. Sprunt and Dr. F R. Harris;
Rev. J. D. Arnold and S. Dean.
Hi LP FOR THI DI8TRI 8?H.
Henderson has entered with warmth
into the distress of Charleston and Sum
merville. Twice destroyed by fire, she
has been purified by suffering. At the
call of mayor Cooper, there was a large
gathering of our best citizens, at the
court house last evening, to give expres
sion to their sympathy. Mayor Cooper
presided and Mr. Thad R Manning was
secretary. Air w it rienry explained
the call and moved the appointment of a
committee on resolutions, which was
done. Col W H S Burgwyn, Rev A
Sprunt and Mr Henry were the com
mittee. Addresses were made by Col
Burgwyn, Revs A Sprunt, J E Ingle,
M V McDuffie, J M Rhodes, J D Ar
nold and Mr J R Young. The follow
ing resolutions were presented by the
committee and adopted:
Resolved by the citizens of Hender
son, v ance county, n . J. , in mass
meeting assembled:
That in the unprecedented disaster
that has Detailed the oity of Charleston
her people have the deepest sympathy
of our community: that the fortitde of
her citizens in the face of such wide
spread destruction of property; their in
trepid spirit in the presence of impend
ing danger ; their couragous determina
tion not to despair, but to rebuild their
shattered homes, excite the admiration
of their fellow countrymen.
That as every cloud has its siver lin-
a. 1 ! 11
ing, let us nope in tne nome response
that haB come up from all parts of the
nation in the way of generous contribu
tions of money and warm expressions of
sympathy, the citizens of Charleston
and Hummer ville and of tne ooutn as
ell, recognise the fact that the people
gi wis great country nvvvr uw uun
UeW 'toward their fellow citizens
1 o
of this great country harbor no unkind
the South, but in the presence of suoh
an appalling oolamity, we all are actu
ated by one and the same sentiment, lova
for our fellowman, and an aotive sym
pathy with him in his misfortunes.
A oommittee of five, Rev J V Arnold,
Mr W S Clary, Rev J E Ingle, Dr W
T Cheatham and Rev M V McDuffie,
were appointed to solicit contributions.
Between one and two hundred dollars
have been collected and the contribution
will probably amout to $300 or $400.
A musioal ooncert will be given at
Burwell hall Monday night for the
benefit of this fund. There will be a
chorus of thirty voices and other attrac
tions. A VACANT PASTORATE.
Rev M V McDoffie, of the Baptist
churoh, and the senior pastor of the
town, has placed his resignation in the
hands of his deacons and it will be read
to the ohuioh tomorrow. This course
is made necessary by his determination
to accept a call lately tendered him by
the Remsen Avenue Baptist churoh, of
New Brunswick, N. J. This is a large
and prosperous churoh in a city of 20,-
000 inhabitants, about thirty or forty
miles from New York oity.
Mr. McDuffie entered the pastorate of
the Baptist ohuroh here (his first pas
torate) January 1, 1881, while a student
t Wake Farest oollege, where he gradu
ated in June of that year. His pastorate
here has been as active one. A new
brick ohuroh, now occupied, has been

church sixty-eight have been added
during his administration, In the line
of missionary work he has organized
a ohuroh at Middleberg and led in
the ereotion of a new "and comfortable
house of worship and also organized a
new churoh near Littleton, which is now
preparing to build. He has been pro
nounced in his views upon every ques
tion which oonoerned the moral inter
ests of the town and was the indomita
ble leader in the late successful prohi
bition movement here. He is one of
the ablest of the young men of this
State and hosts of friends will regret his
departure.
POLITICS
is a profession or calling with many ad
herents about here. There is a lively
oontest for the privilege of serving
the people. The greater number are
most anxious to serve asolerkof the
superior court. Mr Chas. Alston is
announced as a "People's" or "Work:
ingman's" candidate. Crowds seek the
republican nomination, but J R Young,
the present encumbent, a gentleman and
an efficient officer, will probably retain
the place. The republican townshii
meetings are being held today.
