James Merrimon, Judge, called to thw sheriff to open the court. This was done in d ia form; and proper order by B. S Graves, Bheriff, who has served tin eople in this office in Caswell for ! or successive terms, and has been .ected as the nominee of both parti.;', and is still as popu lar and acceptable as he could wish. f-After the selection of the grand jiiry Hia Honor began a charge re plete with knowledge and instruc tion, aud iii uiAny respects' a depar ture from tho groove of the ordinary cha ge to grand juries. He compli hiented Caswell county upon the ab sence of crime in its borders, con taining a population of about seven teen thousand, a little over forty charges of citizens with violations of the criminal laws of North Carolina. This, he said, wa3 a "fine record of the peaceful condition reigning in Caswell." He impressed upon the grand jury that they were not a tmtlling committe andlhey could net maintain the high and exalted po sition the law intended them to occupy ft they, by any act of theirs, convert ed their Jbody into Buch; they were apt to regard anonymous letters nor papers slipped under the door of their room. He said we perpetrated agreat wrong upon any of our citiz ens who were free and entitled to en i iy liberty when upon Buspickui.they Were caused to be arrested, commi&ea to the common jail and after awailing the coming of"the court, and when brought in and tried upon the bill found there was a failure in convict ing. The charge W33 listened to by a very large concourse, and they were pleased and gratified at the interesting and "unique" charge. The attendance upon the court in ihe way of lawyers was augmented by the presence of R. P. Buxton, Esq , and Col J. T. Morehead, For- sythe and (jruuford, attorneys, mere beinc no cases of more than ususul interest on the docket, soma surprise and a little curiosity wa9 excited to ac count for the unusual attendance upon this court. The matter was settled in the reply of Wilson Carey of the .'archives of gravity celeonty, wnen aiked if he could account for the visit of these distinguished gentlemen to our county at this time, he says he Supposed they were instigated by patriotic aspirations in their breasts to reach Congressional honors." There is at present no chrystalization of sentiment in favor of any person for the nomination. Caswell will offer no candidate, bo the delegates will go to the convention untram melled. Some excitement was created in this town today at a report that about nine miles south, on the puplic high way near Fitch 8 Btore, a colored man was found dead, and, from appear ances, supposed to bae been mur dered. The coroner and a jur j, with a physician, held today -an inquest over the body, rue coiorea man s name was George Oliver, and the post mortem examination aeveiopea me f&cts that death was caused by vio lent blows and choking with the Hands. The blows were on the mouth, breaking in the upper and lower teeth and the lower jawbone, and on the side of the head, breaking the artery And temple bone. The verdict of the jury of inquest was "death caused by plows and choking by some person unknown to the jury." No c ue has been found as to the perpetrator of the assassination. This community was made sad by the death ol the beautiful ana ac complished Sliso Lmny Poleat, youngest daughter of Mr. James Pote&t, of this place, which occurred On the 8th at 2 p. m. This young lady was universally esteemed and loved by every one for her great moral worth and beautif ul.life. Just budding into a bright womanhood, the pet of fond parents and almost idolized by loving brothers taking an aciive part in all Christian work a living and shining example of pious devotion for one so young, she will be greatly missed. The place made void in the hearts of this people will long remain empty, and the re mem brance of her will long remain pre cious. Today the judge in open court was requested to-adjourn court bo that the many friends of the de ceased might attend the burial. The court adjourned at 3 o'clock, at which time the funeral took place at the Baptist church, Rev. Mr. Thomas con ducting the services. A very large number attended the funeral services N.

BROKEN THE DEiD LOCK IN THE HOUSE : AT AN END- i A MOTION tO ADJOURN CAHIUED BY A VOTE OF ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT TO OSE HtJN'DRED AND THIRTY SEV EN 4-Jl'BILAS r DcMOCRATS. . By Telegrapft fr Hie News ami Observer. Washington, April 12 Senate Mr. Kenna, on the committee c-.f commerc e, reported a till changing the boundaries of the fourth collec tion district of Yi-grnU.

Among the bills report d from com mittees usd placed ou tho rajandxr, (except a other wisa noted) were the fo'lowingl The Hout-o biil for the rtOi f of tho Agricultural and Mecbani college of Alabama. Th .-euate establishing a custom collet tioti trict in Florida to be know as collection; district of Tampa. Pas- . Among' the bills introduced! u i referred Were the following: By Mrv Call, to locato the Ind au in Florida on lands in eeveralty. By Mr. 1 Butler, to divide into six classcH the employees of the mail ser vice and to fix tho palanes of each class. Mr Call offered a resolution (which wai adopted) instructing the coru mittea on public laha to inquire into the titles of actini st-ttlera on the public lands in Fioriild, heretofore linprope It patented. The motion to ief?r tho P, esident's annual uifcssio w then taken up ai- and Senator Coko proceeded to drees the; i?1"1'- At the close of Mr. Cjke'a speech theSanat0 resumed the consideration of thei bill, to i provide for the admis sion of the. Stat) cf South Dakota and for the organization of tho Teni torv of North Dakota, aud waa ad dressed byMr. Turpie in opposition to the billot the majority of the com mittee and in' support of that of the minority.: The case, ha said, was one where the people of a portion of a Territory; had petitioned Congress for au admission of that portion, and, so far as historical precedenr and ex ample were concerned, it was one utterly without, right or authority. This was the first instanee in the his tory of our eountry ir which such action had occurred or in which such a claim had been presented or con sidered. South Dakota was not a Territory. It was not a division of the Union at all. It was merely a geographical expression. He denied the right of the peorle of the territory to establish a division of it, and said that the people of the whole Un on had a right to bo heard as to the policy and propriety of such a division. Mr. Cullom spoke in favor of the majority i bill. There mn3t be, he thought,; some explanation for the Democrat c opposition to the bill, and he was inclined to believe that a par agraph from the Washington Post, a Democratic organ, turn sted an indi cation of it. That paper, in an edi torial article of some time since, stated that for two or three years past the Republicans had been insist ing on the admission of Dakota as a btate, and that the Democrats had not agreed to it for va ious rea sons, One of ' which was that they had not thought it advisable to complicate the political situa tion until after the Presidential election 6f this year. He was strongly of opinion that if the Senator from south Carolina (Butler) who was now Emiling So beuignantly, was to stand up and tell the honest truth he would admit that the whole opposition to the 'admission of Dakota was based on the fact that' the Democrats did not want any further political com plications thrust upon the country until after the next Presidential elec tion. Mr. Butler said that he had voted steadily to admit the whole of Dakota as a Staite and would do bo now. "The Senate is always willing," said Mr. Cullom, "to do something that nobody else is for. I read from this same article "No new State will be ad mitted during the firs t session of the present; Congress, no matter what may be its political status. The figures ; of the electoral col lege will not be changed before 1802." ; "You do not propose," he continued, "to change the figures. You may prevent us changing the figures .; through the admission of South Dakota and giving us thereby a few additional electoral votes, but we intend to change the figures by an honest vote of the States already in when the election comes in Novem ber next." Mr. Butler (smilincr serenely ) "All right." Mr. Cullom "I am strengthened in that belief by another little inci dent. I am not at all in tho secrets of the Democratic party as represent ed in Congress, but I think I am war ranted in saying, from all that I have heard, that this bill La3 come to be the subject of a serious caucus con vention; by the Democrats of the two houses, and I suppose it has been de creed that no bill shall pass Congress admitting Dakota as a State till after the next Presidential election." Mr. Butler "I am sure my fiiend from Illinois will not require the votes of that Territory at the next election, for I understand he has been announced as a Republican candidate. I think he will have enough votes without those of Dakota." Mr. Cullom (Laughing) "I think so too, but still I would like to have them."' "Perhaps," Mr. Butler resumed, "our amiable friend from Iowa may nave somotning to say on iect."- the sub- But Mr. Allison inumated by a ques- tion that he had not. 'tThen perhaps the Senator from Vermont may have something to say on the subject," suggested Mr. Butler "I sha1! have something to say on that subject," was Mr. Edmunds' ie- sponse: in a graver tone than that ln which the rest of the colloquy was carriea on. Mr. Spooner obtained the floor to speak a favor of the bill, but the Senate proceeded to executive busi ness, and at 5 30 adjourned till Mon day. HOUSE. The House met at 11.45 this morn ing ib continuation of tbe session pf Wedi osday, the 4th of April. Mi' Reed, of Maine, instantly de manded the regular order. M r. Randall,, of Pennsylvania, naked unanimous consent to make a state rctnt, but was shut off by shouts fcr the r ;,'u!8r or.kr from .he Republi can side. Mr. Cox, of New York, moved to adjouri. At the demand of Mr. Reed the yeas and nays were ordered on th'.s motion. Although the vote was a party one (with the exception of Mr Sowden, of Pennsylvania, who voted in the ?: -pitn-ej ;i" motion was deff a'cd f : rays 1:13 Tho ar.iio.-:;:?- -.iii"!-' v v. received with loud che-1- fr- i i tut Republi cans, Tho roll call W1-, wa'chci v(ii,h in terest by gen;lew;u on both sides, many members having tally lists bo fore ttem and k(.-cpiug a record of the vote, and although it so-ti beea uo apparent that strict party hues W:it j to be drawn the strength of the two parties wero so equal that the lesult was in doubt from beginning to end. Mr. Sowdjn, of Pennsylvania, waa tLe Only Democrat who bolted the caucus decree and voted in the nega tive v.th the Pcpublicacs, and as ho stood in tho open space in front of the Sneaker's desk and in an emphatic voice voted "no" he was given a roun;! of applausa bj ths Republi cans. Just before ihe vote waa an nounced fbe Speaker directed that his name be called, and iu a clear tone he voted "yea." When the Speaker announced that the motion had been defeated by a vote of yeas 130, nays 131, the Re publicans rose to the r feet and fell to cheering and shouting. For some moments there was a wild confusion in the hall, tbe Speaker's gavel and the sergeant at-arms' mace bein alike powerless to prevent the Re publicans from giving expression to the r joy. Above the din was heard Mr. Reed demanding the regular Or der, and Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, moving for a call of the House 1 his motion having been put, the Speaker declared upon a vioa voce vote that the noes seemed to have it, which elicited another outbreak from the Re publicans. A division was demanded, but, as the motion was merely made in order that another motion to ad journ might be in order. It was voten down unanimously amid such jeering laughter and applause that the Speaker felt called upon to re mind the gentlemen that this was the House of Representatives of the United States, and not a public meet ing. .Mr. Randall again endeavored to make his statement, but his voice was drowned in the demands for the regular order. Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, re marked to the jubilant Republicans that "he laughs best who laughs last," but this remark only called forth louder laughter. Mr. Cox again made a motion to adiourn and the yeas and nays were ordeied. The vote resulted, yeas 148, nays 137. Then it was the op portunity of the Democrats and they were not backward in availing them selves of it. Cheer followed cheer in quick succession while Mr. Springer and Mr. Townsend in the exuberance of their joy leaped to their feet and waving copies of the Congressional Record cheered and taatfd their ad versaries- Jiiverybouy was in perfect good nature and the Republicans accepted their defeat smilingly, shouting back repartees to the humorous slings of the victors. It was three or four minutes before the confs'sion ceased, some triumphant, Democrats in the meantime securing a piece of crape, attaching it to a stick and planting it on the Republi can side of the main aisle. Tbe so long continued dead-lock was at last opened with the key of the caucus action and the legislative day of Wednesday, April 4th, came to a close on the calendar day of Thurs day, April 12th. The adjournment is till tomorrow (Friday) at noon. Mr. Randall's purpose in seeking the fioor was to present the following resolution : Jiesolvett, That Thuisday, Decem ber Gtb, Saturday, December 8th, and Tue&day, December 11th, 1888, im mediately after the reading of the journal, be and are hereby set aside for the consideration of the Senate bill 139 entitled "An act to credit and pay to tho several States and Territories and the District of Columbia all moneys collected under the direct-tax leiod by the act of Cocgress, approved August 5, 18G1", and at 4 p. m.

Washington, April 12. There was a good deal of speculation among the members of the House after adjourn ment toil ;y as to the probable course of business in the immediate future. Not a few members wore coDgratu latulatitig themselves on the fact that ithe ewiBpL'nd indemnity bill which was the special order for today had been sent back to a remote place on Ihe calendar. A strODg opposition had been worked up against this par ticular mtf sure and it was feared that an insistance upon its consideration would result in a repetition of the events of the past week. It was broadly hinted that the obstructive tactics Ostensibly aga nst the direct tax bill were really in a large part directed Against the swamp land bill. As it is, ths ppecial orders made by the House upon the recom mendation of the committee on rules covering the present and last week, have all been swept aside and al though iQiue of the chairmen of the committees thereby deprived of these days, express an intention; to mako renewed effor s to secure other as signments of special dates for the consideration of j!their bills, it is the general impression that few will succeed but that the appropriation bills and tariff bill will consume tho time of : the House for a long time to come Tbt Hlenmond Terminal. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. New York, April 12. A meeting of the Richmond Terminal directors was held today, but transacted only routine; business. No speciel meet ing of stockholders has been called, and tho directors sta'e that no re quest for a call has been received. It was reported after the meeting that there had been a split between John H. Inman and other members of the Georgia Central syndicate, and that Inman will be elected president in place of Gen. Alexander. Another rumor of the afternoon is that the secretary of the Richmond Terminal Company had carried off the stock trsfer ledger to prevent President buiiv Ironl eettinz the nddresses of the stockholders, as Sully intended to send the sthckholders a circular giving 'the status of the company's affair 8- Foretg-n. Londo, April 12. Goschen, Chan cellor f the Exchequer, informed the House commissioners this afternoon that holders of consols to the amount of 450,000,000 including holders of the new three per cents, had already given their assent to the conversion of the consols; the assent of the trus tees remaining would greatly increase the total. Mr. Parnell moved that the House adjourn in order that he might call attention to the outrageous conduct of the authorities at Enn's Sunday last in attacking the people. "If," he said, "Balfour wanted to have such powers as had been used on that oocasion, let him come to parliament and afck for them. What had been done at Ennis was practically the enforcement of martial law and went beyond the powers con veyed by the coercion act. If Bal four wished to declare t martial law let him do bo and i antry would know then what it to ex pect from the executivi ,nich ex ceeded a large scope for ne repres sion of people contained in'the coer cion act. Mr. 'Balfour, replying to Mr. Par nell, tail that the people had assembled to hold an illegal meeting. When Col. Turner and the police ap peared, showers of stones were hurled at them from the windows of the house; where the leaguers met. Col. Turner thereupon ordered the police to attack the house and to airest all persons concerned iu the disorder. Heaps of stones were afterwards found ready to b9 thrown at the po lice. Sunday's events showed that an oiganized attempt was made at seveial place to defy the law. Seeing how little injury had resulted, they must feel that the police and military acted with great self control. (Cries from Parnellites). Th responsibility for what Buffering had arisen rested with the agitators who had incited their countrymen to illegal actions. Annual Meeting of ths M.E. Church South.

By Telegraph to tbe News and Observer. Cnicuio, 111 , April 12. All union malsters and brewers in Chicago weut on a strike at 4 a m. today. Such a move has been imminent for some time, and had its origin in a circular issued by brewery proprietors which in substance announced their deter mination to refuse recognition of any brewers and malsters unions. Tbe immediate cause of the strike was ore non-union man employed in Ernest Bros", brewery. The union men employed there demanded the discharge of tfco intruder. This was refused, and a strike of Ernest's men followed. A meeting of the Brewers and Malsters Union sesolved to back up the Ernett men. Nogotiations were fruitless, and this morning 300 malste 8 and brewers quit work, stopping every brewery ia the city except Ernest Bros., and throwing out of employment probably 1,500 to 2,000 men. Krnest Bras, establish ment is working because the proprie tors some days ago secured a force of non union men. Another cause of the irritation is the determination of the employing brewers not to renew contracts for tho year with the men and not to recognize unions in deal ing wi;h workmi r. A similar stan'l has been taken by tbp Milwaukee employing brewers, and the circular before referred to has been distributed there The Chicago Brewers' and Malsters' Union is not in good financial condi tion. It has a o-ood many socialists in it and furnished the bulk of the money expended in defence of the Haytuarket riotc.-B. The union was organ iz'.-d by Oscar Neebe, one of the Liaymarket men, who is now serving a fifteen years sentence in the penitentiary for his share in that affair. The employ ing brewers do not intend to reduce the wages of their men nor to in crease the working hours, but they desire to free themselves from the dictation of the Brewers' Union.

At tbe Democratic House caucus; held Wednesday night, Mr. Holman made a speech in which lie declared that the present proceedings were of the most extraordinary character ever witnessed in a legislative body, ex habiting the spectacle of a great m& ority retreating before a small mi-; nonty. He called on Mr. Oates to state his position in the matter, r j Mr. Oates replied that he had cOme into the caucus with the expectation; of making some concessions. If he followed his own views he would consent to no measure that did not in volve the absolute defeat of the bilh But he was a Democrat, and if the caucus decided against him he would abide by its decision aid support U with his vo:e. The declaration was received with applause by the caucus; air. oates added that he favored the proposed postponement of the tai bill, but would regret to see the caucus agree to tne condition that a vote should be taken upon it at a fixed date.

Coltharp committed suicide by hang ing himself in his father's stable with a saddle rtirrup leather which he tied to a trough. He was a son of Mr. Josiah H. Coltharp and seventeen years of age. No cause dan be a-, signed for the act, though it is thought ho was laboring undei mental aberration. On the morning of this occurrence ho complained of feeling unwell and seem much depressed. By a letter received received frora Gold Hill, we learn the following par ticulars of the tragic affair: "HiB dead body was first seen by his brother,,Marcellus, whose screams, on discovering the dead body, alarmed the family. The news spread rapidly, and neighbors and friends were soon with the afflicted family, whose distress was heartrending. Every one was grief-stricken, for Brantley was a great favorite. Why Buch . deed was committed is a great mys tery. Enemies he had none, and no one would scarcely have dared to commit the dreadful crime of murder in open daylight in his father's stable, near the dwelling house. The verdict of the jury of inquest was that be came to his death by suicide; but why this promising young man, at the age of seventeen years, who apparently knew bo Utile of the bitterness pt this life, with no intemperate or othir bad habits, should so rashly end his Lfe, 13 a mystery unfathomable. 1 had a comfortable home, of 'which ard all its su:roundings he was ioud. Them can be but one theory, that pf insanity. On the fatal morning he complained of a pain in the chest and perhaps it affected the brain, render ing him irrational and irresponsible. The bereaved family have the sympa thy of the entire community in their deep affliction." I Hutson's is the place for good fur niture, cneap furniture and other .household necessities.
