Oa Saturday evening when some un
essiness was experienced at the deaf and
dumb asylum beesnse of the failure of
Bingham and Miss Turlington to re
turn. Mr. 0. D. Hesrtt, the chief o"
poliee and also a director of the instito
tion.lwas sent by Msj R. 8 Tucker, the
president of tbo board, to Durham , to.
make' an investigation and aeoertain the
whereabouts of the runaway eonple Un
receivtBg teiegrsm rrom nun teat
Bingham had taken the train at Durham
alone, Mr. Grimes the steward of the
institution was dispatched up the dirt
road to Durham early Sunday morning.
The . board of direoters had a meeting
8unday about 11 o'clock a m., but the
telegraph offiocs being shut up, no com
munication could be had with either
Mr. Grimes or Mr Heartt. The latter
had received the aid of the chief of polioe
at Durham, and coming towards Raleigh
had met Mr. Grimes on Sunday evening;
they,'-; having by that time dis
covered all the circumstances which
fixed the looation where Miss Turlington
had disappeared and where search was
to be made. Up to this time hopes had
boen . entertained that Miss Turlington
might still be alive. At the meeting
on 8unday morning the Board had re
solved that no money or means ehould
be Spared in the investigation, and early
Monday morning five horsemen were
snt out to join Mr. Grimes and Mr.
Heartt for the purpose of search. On
Tuesday morning another rquad of
horsemen was sent out by the board,
acd other citiiena joined in the search.
On Wednesday Msj. Tucker' the presi
dent cf the board, went, as well as quite
number from italeign, -among them,
the sheriff and his deputy King, polioe-
manU IT Osborne and Tobe Marshall,
Thomas A. Miller and John Blacknall,
of the Nxws avn OBuavix; Mr. D. 8.
Wait. Mr. Ward, Mr W. O. Holman,
Mr. Bay, Mr. 8ol. Allen, Messrs. Car-
J Lambeth, 8. D. Wait, Col. Fred.
Olds and other eitiiens, who joined, Mr.
Heartt and Mr. Grimes, the neighbors
from Mprriaville aad several: gentlemen
from. Durham, making in all a party of
over Tony men engaged in the search.
The three brothers of Miss Turling
ton were also alone with the party. Mai
Tucker at d others of the party returned
to toe city late last night quite broken
own by the fatirue of the search.
To understand the situation, it is to be
borne in mind that Crabtree V ereek
crosses the road just east of Morrisville,
inlrsr in a quartering direction. The
dirt road to Durham then keeps to the
left and south of the railroad for two
miles," or more. In that stretch there
are several obscure neighborhood roads
taming off to the left and south, and on
that tide is the old Taylor well. Search
bad been made on the north 'side before
Wednesdav. but attention beisfr di
rected to the old Taylor well on Tues
day, the water was partially drawn from
hat,. and by Wednesday forenoon it was
examined sufficiently to satisfy the par
ties ai work that the body was not there.
iriy the entire force, consisting of
some forty men, formed a line, one
bing in speaking distance of another,
and swung around over a spice of conn-
try about two and a half miles square,
e?mmg to the south as far as the Chapel
Hill toad, which leads into the Durham
road least of Morrisville. And parties ex
amined up that road for some distance.
The country examined on the : south
side is somewhat broken. Where there
are no clearings, the growth ia stunted
scrub oak and bid field pines The old
fieldf are grown up with old field pines,
and 1 there are jrulhes and shallow
branches crossing it. In the fields! where
it is ait all hilly the hills are badly wtshed
and there are deep jrulliec. All and
every part of this waa thoroughly exam
ined without avail.
After that, searoh was made on the north
side ere two neighborhood roads
lead jfrom the main Durham road and
bend back, making it possible for Bing
ham 1 to have come back and have
passed through Morrisville a second
time; This, according to reports circu
lated Wednesday afternoon, he may
hare done. An examination was made
On that side, but it being late when be
gun, it was not such a thorough searoh,
nor did it extend so far as that on the
south side. But the circuit was made
coming back east' of Morrisville. There
is aJso a low place in that direction, and
it was towards that section that Mr
Edwards on Wednesday evening said he
had beard some pistol shots on Friday
between 1 and 2 o'clock. For the spac?
of nearly two hours Bingham was off
the mam road, and he may have gone
somewhat farther than the search haa
yet extended. The search was being m vie
again yesterday. This morning the
R. & ii. R. R. will run a tra n
to Cajry to carry all who will go to make
further search, this oourtosy being ex
tended by the publio-spirited manage
ment o" that company.
Mij. R 8. Tuokcr ohairman of the
board of directors of the institute
have: offered a reward of $100 for the
recovery of the remains.
THB DBTAILS. '
' Chief of Polioe Heartt found that' the
horse and buggy wnion naa been sc
oured here from Mr. R E Parbam had
been lefc at the livery stables of Mr. A.
A. fears, in Durham about 4 o'clock
Fridav evening. Mr. Sears reported
J-that the horse had arrived, showing in
dications of having been driven very
hard wae reeking with perspiration
and very much fatigued. Eaquiries in
Durham elioitod the fast that Miss Tar- j
lington had not arrived there with
Bingham and was not in town. A deaf
mute lady living there a friend of Miss
Turlington had not seen her nor heard
of her. Capt. Heartt also loained that
Bingham had tried to purchase some
cartridges in the town. ;
Sunday morning he took the horso
and buggy, left there by Bingham tid
started out the road leading to Raleigh
to make irqiiries, accompanied by Mr.
Pomeroy, of Durham. About one mile
from the town they stopped at a bar
room kept by a man named Eliis, and
enquired if a gentleman and lady had
passed there Friday evening in
a buggy. Mr. Ellis replied that a
deaf and dumb man had stoppod
there Friday evening about 4 o'clock,
sad had taken a drink; that be w-s
driving the horse that Oapt. Heartt
then had. He saw nothing of a 1-dy.
Capt. Heartt then droTe on down
the roed and five miles from Durban?, at
a fork of the road, saw a hite man nod
a colored boy, who told them they iiad
seen a man pass them on Friday even
ing, and that he drove the team or ono
very much like the one that he (Heartt)
was then driving. About two miles
further down the road he stopped at a
house and enquired of . the family if they
had seen any one pass there Fridty
evening going toward Durham. A
little boy thought he had seen a gentle
man and lady going towards Durham at
that time, but oould give no particulars.
These replies gave rise to the report
that the oouple had been seen together
within eight miles of Durham, and that
Bingham had bon seen alone within
three miles. From this house Capt.
Heartt drove about one mile and met
Mr J G. B. Grimes, who had left Ra
leigh in the morning for Durham, going
through tho country. Mr. Grimes had
heard nothing of the missing girl except
from a man named Vernon, who had
seen two people who had attracted his
attention by working their fingers and
gesticulating, at a point one mile from
Morrisvillo, going toward the town.
Mr. Grimes and Capt. Heartt then
turned back towards Durham, and
searched along the road on both sides
between the point at which the little
boy reported having seen the gentleman
and lady, and Ellis' bar-room for sev
eral hours. They then came back down
the: road to Braesfield to make enquiries,
but did not ldarn anything. Thinking
thy bad located the point at which
Mies Turlington left the buggy, they
thought it best to return to Durnam and
procure help. They saw Mr. A. A;
Sears, who got together six gentlemen
ho had lived in the vicinity of Brass
field, but are bow living in Durham;
O a Monday morning Mr. Grimes and
Capt. Heartt with his party of Durham
gentlemen started for the locality. Upon
reaching a point five miles below
Durham, they decided it wo aid
be best to go down the road further
for the purpose of trying to find some
certain information, and then went back
towards the town. They came down the
road for a few miles to a house and saw
Mr. W. H. Bentley, formerly of Raleigb,
who said that Mr. Grimes asked
him Sunday as he passed, if he had seen
any one driving by on Friday. He told
him he had not, but since then remem
bered having seen a gentleman a'one
driving in the direction of Durham, F.i
day evening, and that he was driving
the horse that Capt. Heartt then had.
After that they saw no oie who had
seen or noticed any one until he reached
the house of Cspt. W. H. Morris, b i
tween Durham and Morrisville, about I
six miles from the latter place, where a
lady reoogn;sod tha horse and buggy as
the one she had seen pass by Friday
evening.
No farther information was gained
until they reached a cotton gin, two
miles from Morrisville, at which some
colored men were at work and
cf whom they made some, inqui
ries The eolored men told Capt Heartt
that en Friday evening they were work
ing the road; about two o'clock they
were repairing a bridge one and a half
miles frcm Morrisville, and that he had
seen a man pass driving the sime horse
hat he (Heartt) had then. They had
been working the road all day and did
not have it at dinner time. Haying
their lunehes with them they sat down
by the road at noon and ate dinner; .
Mr. Charles TJpehuroh, the road over
seer, and Mr. D. D. Edwardi, were at
tho bridge when the mtu passed. The
bridge was torn up and they reqiested
the man to stop for a few momenta while
they would arrange for him to pass.
He drove up near by, saw he oould not
drive across the bridge and turned off
to the left through the woods and passed
by them, coming back into the road and
driving off at full speed. He did not
speak or seem to notice anyone at the
bridge, and for this reason Messrs. Up
ohuroh and Edwards identify him as a
deaf mute. Ha appeared to be in a
very great hurry both approaching and
leaving the bridge. The road hands
saw him pass only once,
The party then came into Morrisville
and made inquiries. Here they heard
some reports that indioate that Bing
ham most have gone over the road lead
ing to Durham twioe Dr. A. T. Cot
ton says he saw a gentleman and lady
both entire strangers pass through the
town about noon, and noticed them more
olosely than njual. He thought that
the same horse that Capt. Heartt was
driving was the one driven by the cou
ple passing through Friday about noon.
Mr. J. H. Moring said the oouple pass
ed thaough the town about no in. Ha
noticed them olose closely and supposed
tho lady to be one who was expected to
visit Dr. W. T. Harndon, and walked
to the end of his poroh to sec if they
stopped there They drove on however
and he remarked that if they had far to
So they would get wet, as the weather
as threatening. Other oitiions remem
ber having seen a lady and gentleman
pass through the village but gave them
no notice. Other reports in conflict with
theso are given by some in the town,
who think they saw a man alone driving
the team Capt. Hartt had through the
place. Mrs. W. G. Clements,
who lives in the extreme end of
tho town from which the road
leads out to Durham says she saw a
man driving by her house Friday even
ing abou 2 o'olook and that no one was
iu the biii'gy with him. A pupil of the
school at that place reports having seen
the same thing In both instances the man
was driving very fast. Mr. Brinkley
Maynard, who resides in the town, says
that he was ia his barnyard, which is on
the road, preparing to go to a gin about
two miles up the Durham road, and
saw Bingham aad Miss Turlington pass,
going on in tho fivno direction. This
was about 12 o'elock in the day. After
having seen them ho went to the gin
and remained until about 2 o'olook, and
on his return he met Bingham in the
buggy alone. He did not pass Bing
ham on his way to the gin.
This was all that could be learned
along the line on which inquiries were
made; and the faot that Miss Turling
ton left the buggy somewhere between
Morrisville and the little road bridge
seemed to have been fully established-
Tho sr ootid appearance of Bingham
ia the village, if ho made it, is account
ed for by his having driven for a mile
up the main road, then turning to the
right into a by road leading to a dense
wood and then curving back and lead
ing to the town the whole distance
being between three and four miles. He
may have taken this road and come into
the town a acond time unexpectedly
and been forced to drive through it. Iu
the territory between these road some
shots were heard Friday evening be
tween 12 and 2 o'olook by Mr. D D.
Edwards, but he thought nothing of it,
as there are frequently some hunters in
that section. The party leaving the
city this morning will make a thorough
search of this looality today, and if the
body is there it must be found.
Prof. Bingham, of Davidson College,
a brother of Walter Bingham, came to
the city yesterday, and said he would
join the searching party today. His
theory, however, is that his brother and
Miss Turlington planned an' elopement
and that the two are now probably mar
riod and together somewhere. He fays
his brother and the lady hare been in
love with each other for ten years and
he cannot believe, as oertainly it seems
unnatural, that he should have doLe
violence to the woman he loved and had
loved so long. He pays Walter Bingham
was soma years ago struck by a railroad
train and severely injured. So much
so that he (the professor) and the other
members of the family advised him
about four years ago to give up the
idea of marrying, since he was not a
sound man. Reoently, however he had
a muoh better health than was expected',
so that the members of the family had
acquiesced in the match proposed for next
summer. It was in the accident re
ferred to tht Walter's nose was mash
ed. The professor does not think his
brother insane, though ha thinks be
may have threatened Mr. Goodwin after
talking with Miss Turlington about him.
he thinks it probable that Walter pur
chased a railroad ticket for Mies Tur
lington as well as lor himself and that
they went eff together, possibly in the
same train even the. same ooaoh. He
thinks that Walter may easily have had
Miss Turlington taken to the train
though he did not take her himself and
he holds that her going with him wil
lingly, and continuing to go along wil
lingly wherever the two were seen to
gether, with other facts he has gathered
here in Raleigh, bears out his theory.
Referring to Prof. Bingham's theory
above stated we would say tht Walter
Bingham, the eonduotor said, bought a
second-class ticket at Darham and went
into the second-class car and that no
lady got on the train at Darham.
A large force came down frcmDir
htm yesterday to aid in the searoh
around Morrisville, and will bether
today. A letter received last night at
10 o'olook from Mr. King, deputy
sheriff, states that nothiBg has boen de
veloped, but with a large force he confi
dently expects to find tho body today,

Lthohbco, Dec 23 The following
particulars of a most extraordinary oc
currence haro just been received. A
young girl named Taylor, fifteen years
of age, living near Grayson Sulphur
Springs, Grayson oounty, was engaged
to marry an Englishman named Rudd
stopping at the Springs. The time was
fixed for the marriage and all prepara
t:ons made, when the girl changed her
mind and refused to marry him. The
Englishman applied to '8quires Alley
and Frost for a warrant to arrest the
girl. They issued it and the girl was
brought before them to answer the
eharges preferred, whatever they were
She refused to comply, but the justices
insisted that she must keep her promise
or go to prison. The frightened girl
finally consented and the ceremony was
quickly performed. There is no doubt
whatever of the correctness cf the above
statement, and intense excitement

Aaataar Strike.
Nxw Yobx, Dec. 23. Eleven of the
branches of the Brooklyn City Railroid
tied up this morning. At 4 o'olook the
men went on strike. The cause of the
strike is. that the company refused to
agree to the demands of the men as set
forth in the agreement submitted for
signature to the company by a commit
tee of the men.
The cause of the trouble was that the
company would not recognise the
Knights of Labor or the Empire Protec
tive Association in its negotiations with
i s men.. The Knights claim that the men
are forced to work 16 hours and over
and some for as low as 29 cents. This,
president Lewis says, is an outrageous
untruth. Though the Knights violated
the agreement of last spring, the compa
ny has maintained good faith with its
men, and not a man on a straight run or
a tripper is worked more than 12 hours a
day, and regular men were also not pud
less than $2 a day, and trippers $1 50
About 8 o'clock twenty-fire of the old
drivers and conductors returned to work
without solicitation from the com
pany. They were at once assigned
to ears, and by nine o'olook
about twelve ears were running on the
various lines. Boon after a score of
now men were hired and sent out to the
stables. All the stables of the company
were put under polioe protection. About
5 o'clock no policemen were put on any
oars save those running out to east New
York, and then only from Bedford ave
nue on. In oast New York a car was
attaoked by five of the strikers, who un
hooked the team, but were prevented
from doing furthur damage by their
prompt arrest by the police. East New
York is the only place that president
Lewis expeets any trouble, and extra
precautions are being taken there.
It was evident at about noon that there
was likely to be serious trouble on the
lines of the Brooklyn City railroad and
the police was called upon to protect a
otr which the company desired to star':
out from tho depot at Greenwood, and
Capt. Bell aud several officers went to
the scene and mounting the platform
the oar waa started. It got only a block
oa its jjuruey when the mob took the
horses from the car and ran the ear baok l
into the depot.
The p )lioe were unble to resist the
men, and the ear at Halsey street and
Tompkins avenue was overturned and
the driver and eonduotor assaulted by
the mob.
The polioe attempted to interfere but
were overpowered and reserves were
oalled upon to aid them.
The oar was hoisted from the track at
Fulton and New York avenues, and the
police were oalled upon here alao. The
driver and conductor who were "scabs"
were assaulted.
The obstructions have been placed up
on the track and it looks as though
there would be even more serioaa
trouble if the oomnany persists in their
attempt to run ueir ears.

- The gossips who have been en
couraging the idea that there would be
danoing at the White House, and that
even germane were within the bound
of poevibilities, have been brought up
with a round turn by an intimation that
they were rtekoning without their hos
tess. Mrs. Cleveland has signified her
desire not to increase the duties of ber
position by adding any festivities to
those which arc customary in the rou'ine
of state dinners and receptions. These
include, of eourse, the informal evening
receptions of her friends, which consti
tute by far the most delightful failure
of life at the White House.:
