Committed Suicide.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
New Orleans, Nov. 10. —A spe
cial from Jackson, Miss., to the
Associated Press says: Joe Jackson,
one of Rube Burrows’ gang, confined
in the penitentiary here for some
time awaiting trial for train robbery,
and whose trial was to have begun
this morning in the Federal Court,
suicided by jumping from the third
floor of the corridor of the court to
the ground, a distance of sixty feet.
His neck was broken by the fall.
Jackson had provided himself with a
large knife and when the officers un
locked his cell, he rushed out and
ascended to the upper floor, where
for some time he defied them.
Finally the officers closed in on the
prisoner, when suddenly he plunged
from his lofty perch to the brick floor
beneath to meet instant death. Rube
Smith, also an alleged train robber,
is now undergoing trial before the
U. S. Judge today.
Minister Lincoln Returns.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 11.—
Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, minister
from the United States to England,
reached the city this morning from
Chicago. He called on Secretary
Proctor at the War Department early
in the day and held quite a reception
among his old official friends. He
looks exceedingly well, being some
what stouter than he was while Sec
retary of War, and he appears to be
in the best of health. To an asso
ciated press reporter he said in the
most positive manner : “The stories
to the effect that I intend to resign
my post and that I shall remain
henceforth in America are absolutely
false. I came here on a leave of ab
sence and shall remain for abour,
forty or fifty days, after which I
shall go back to England and re
sume my work. Reports to the con
trary are without the least founda
tions.” He afterwards visitel the
State Department and made a brief
call on Secretary Blaine and Assist
ant Secretary Wharton.
A Drop in Stocks.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
New York, Nov. 10.—A flood of
alarming cablegrams from London
and Paris predicting disasters in
markets there this week, cause a
panicky feeling in the Stock Ex
change. Long before opening, the
brokers tried to make sales of stock,
but could not find buyers, and as soon
as the signal for beginning business
was given no offers were made, but ev
ery bid,no matter at what price, was at
ouce filled. This selling caused the
Manhattan Elevated to fall from 100
to 92, a decline of eight points;
Western Union fell. Other stocks,
with the exception of Vanderbilt’s,
fell 2to 6 per cent. There are no
buying orders in many of the spe

A Charge Brought in the Federal
Court Against Five White Men,
Alleging the Assassination of a
Northern Man.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 10.—Five citi
zens of Dodge county were arrested
Saturday by U. S. deputy marshals,
brought here and committed to jail
on a charge of conspiracy and mur
der of J. C. Forsyth at Normandale,
on the 7th of October. One of the
prisoners is Wright Lancaster,Sheriff
of Dodge county. Another is Luther
A. Hall, a Dodge county attorney
whose trial for perjury is now pend
ing m the Federal District court.
A white man named Andrew Reneau
was shot by a mob for the murder of
Forsyth the day after it occured, but
a later investigation by U. S. special
agents proved his innocence of the
crime. The men arrested are charged
with having conspired or aided and
abetted the assassination. A sen
sational feature is lent to the case
by the fact of the arrest being made by
the federal officers. Forsyth was a
Northern man and the case is brought
in the Federal court on the ground
that at the time of the murder he
was acting as the agent of Norman
W. Dodge, enjoying the rights which
had been guarateed by a decree of
the U, S. court.

Lynchers Foiled.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Annapolis, Md., Nov. 10.--Er
nest Farbes, the colored youth who
is under arrest on the charge of as
saulting Bertha Phipps, white, aged
15 years, was secretly removed last
night to Baltimore, where he will be
safe from the lynchers aud secure
from release. The intended lynchers
of Farbes reached Camp Parole, two
miles from Annapolis, last night,
but their advance guard could not
find a safe way to pass the troops,
which the Governor had collected
there to prevent the anticipated
lynching, and get into the city, to
say nothing of getting inside the
jail. The excitement was somewhat
allayed today when it became known
that Farbes was secretly carried to
Baltimore. A new grand jury will
be drawn in a few days, when Farbes
will be indicted and immediately
tried. A great deal of bad blood ex
ists between the whites and blacks.
The latter look on Farbes as a per
secuted person and hola him inno

Attacked and Kobbed.
Warrenton Gazette.
An outrage upon the good standing
and safety of our town was perpetra
ted last night. Mr. A. Plummer,
who lives near Middleburg, was
walking up Main street when he was
assaulted and robbed by a negro,who
turned out to be George James, who
has only been out of the penitentiary
a few mouths, aud arrived here from
Norfolk only two or three days ago.
Jones is a negro of bad character,
and a heavy weight of evidence
against him has been gathered. When
arrested this morning he had Plum
mer’s knife, pocket-book, and sev
eral other articles belonging to the
same on his person. The victim was
found stunned and bleeding, and
with part of his vest torn off. Jones
was suspected because he was seen
following Plummer and was a suspi
cious character. At the trial this
evening a good deal of evidence, cir
cumstantial and otherwise was put
in against him, and the probabilities
are that he will soon rest within the
precincts of his former abiding place,
the penitentiary, where he is likely
to rest for some time to come.

A I Hiring ’I rani Robber Captured.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 10. —Tonight
Postoffice Inspector Watkins will ar
rive here having in custody William
E. Newberry who is said to be the
leader of one of the most daring
train robberies of recent years: June
6th a Northern Pacific train was
stopped at New Salem, N. D., by
highwaymen. Two masked men
climbed upon the engine and com
pelled the engineer and fireman to
letach the engine from the train
md then to pull out. Having
aken the engine about twenty
•ods the engineer and fireman
vere taken back to the train
where they were ordered to batter
down the door of the express car.
With the first attack on the
car the express clerk escaped
from it, and saved the contents of
the safes, since he carried with him
their keys. Having entered the car
the two robbers compelled the en
gineer, fireman and postal clerk to
cut open the mail pouches and carry
first-class registered mail matter to
the robbers on horses. About 500
packages, containing 145,000 in cash
were secured. G. E. Bailey, one of
tho highwaymen, was subsequently
captured. He is now serving a term
in North Dakota penitentiary. A
search for Newberry has been carried
on by the postal authorities ever
since, and he was arrested at Plains,
Va., Satuiday. Newberry comes of
an excellent Virginia family.

Another Point Scored.
By Telegraph to the News am l Observer.
Chicago, Nov. 10.—An error has
been discovered in the footing up of
the returns of the second district and
it now appears that Kenney, demo
crat, for Representative, was elected
instead of Hopper, Republican, as
reported. Owing to the fact that
the two parties have been thought to
be a tie in tile legislature, this dis
covery is of considerable importance.
If the official count verifies the elec
tion of Kenney, the Democrats will
have 101 votes in the assembly and
the Republicans but 100, thus
making the election of John M.
Palmer to the United States Senate
the next thing to a certainty.

Mickel.
Charleston News and Courier.
Much has been said lately, said
Major E. Willis yesterday, in the
newspapers about the alleged dis
covery of nickel ore in Virginia. It
It is probable, however, that refer
ence is had to North Carolina, where
I am reliably informed nickel ores
are to be found equal to any in Lud
bury, Canada, and only excelled by
the New Caledonian deposits. The
North Carolina ore analyzes 11 to 32
per cent in metallic nickel. The de
posits are in Jackson county, N. C.,
near Webster, and four miles fiom
the Western North Carolina Rail
road. The mine is said to have an
almost inexhaustible deposit of chro
mic iron analyzing about 55 per cent
of chromic ore. There is no reason
why the United States supply of
nickel should not come from North
Carolina. The navy wants a million
pounds of nickel ore for arming the
new fleet and North Carolina can
furnish it.

THE CROP RETURNS.
THE COTTON AND GRAIN OF
THE SOUTH.
The Estimated Cotton Yields of
the States—The Grain Crop
Shows Up Below the Average.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Washington, Nov. 10.—The cot
ton returns for November to the De
partment of Agriculture are on the
county estimates of the yield per
acre. A consolidation of the arcus I
with the rates of yield, with corrcc ;
tions only of obvious errors, makes !
the average yield 187 pounds of lint !
per acre. It is about the same &e
the yield of last year and better tlur.
the returns of the yield of last No
vember, which were exceeded by the
results of a final investigation. So mo
of the returns report killing frosts !
which did not extend to the lnr'ye
area on the southern side of the c >t
ton belt. Much will therefore tic
pend on the weather of November
and December, not only in per. t
ing the growth, but in saving the
crop. Should the season continue
favorable, and the views of corre
spondents prove conservative, the re
sult may be slightly larger than here
indicated. The estimated yields by
States are as follows: Virginia, 168
pounds; North Carolina, 182 pounds;
South Carolina, 175 pounds; Georgia,
165 pounds; Florida, 108 pounds;
Alabama, 160 pounds; Mississippi,
200 pounds; Louisiana, 238 pounds;
Texas, 196 pounds; Arkansas, 225
pounds; Tennessee, 191 pounds.
The November returns to the
partment of Agriculture of the r -.cs
of yield per acre make the averse
for corn 19.9 bushels, potatoes s<.‘>
bushels, buckwheat 14.5 bush, ,
hay 1.20 tons, tobacco 7.18 pounds.
The oorn crop makes the sma
yield reported, excepting only tha*
of 1881, which was 18.6 bush
That of 1887 was 20.1 bushels. 1
indications of the recent return*
have been so uniform that the esti
mate for a permanent record will not
likely change this figure unless by a
slight fraction. The decline of the
last decade is not due to the impair
ment of fertility, but to unfavorable
meteorological influences. The
est rates are in New England a
usual. New York averages 25.3,
Pennsylvania 27.5, Ohio 20.7, Mid,
igan 26.7, Indiana 24.3, Illinois 25,
lowa 26, Missouri 25.8, Kansas 11.3,
Nebraska 20.3. The principal de
cline is in the corn surplus States.
The average rate of yield of pota
toes is 57.5 bushels. The condition
of the crop in October was lower
than in any ieported previous crop
except in 1887 being 61.7 again&t.
61.5, when the rate of yield was 56.9
bushels per acre. It imports scarcity
and warrants high prices. Low
rates of the principal States are
follows: New York62bushels, Pi-nn
sylvania 68, Michigan 58, Ohio 40,
Indiana 37, Illinois 30, lowa 18,
Missouri 39, Kansas 28, Nebraska

Prof. Koch’s Discovery for Consuwptiou.
Berlin, Nov. 9.—Prof. Berg
mann inoculated fifteen consump
tive patients on Thursday by Pic
fessor Koch’s process, and on the
following day exhibited one of the
patients before a number of physici
ans in order to show the change that
had resulted within twenty-icur
hours.
The Borsen Courtier says it has
authority for the statement that
Professor Coah’s remedy has proved
to be a success. A famous German
surgeon, it says, cured within five
days a case of lupus or necrotic
tupercular destruction of the tissues
of the face.
The Natonal Zeitung says that
Prof. Koch, although he has per
formed a number of cures, doe« not
yet consider the time come for t 0
publication of his research*? ,
Although the remedy has been ap
plied to patients in the Charity Hos
pital and in some private caseu He
composition remains a profound
secret.
The medical journals refer -
tiously to Professor Koch’s cu r
consumption. The Professor beg?
his medical friends to refrain frona
discussing the subject uutii Jus
investigations shall have given more
reliable results. The Pharinaco : ho
Zeitune confirms the statemen'
Professor Koch’s method is
lation with a weakeued cultivrn n
of tubercular bacilli. The 1-
zinische Woceenschatt declares „ it
the therapeutics of consumption are
on the eve of a new and victorious
epoch. Professor Koch declines to
state when he will be able topresent a
