Interest in th most sensational matter has nev er abated and is great all over the country, as the papers everywhere regard it as a sensation of the first order. The hearing in the case of Mrs. Rowland, who stands charged with being concerned in the pois onmg of her husband, C. R. Strange, is not to be held until Monday next. That hearing will be before Coroner and Magistrate bepark at Raleigh. Dr. Rowland has five lawyers. The State is represented uot only i rt' i .. . . .. . J uy me solicitor, but by addition al counsel. Members of the f ami- . . ly of Dr. Rowland's first wife are Baid to be very keenly interested in the matter and a verv nrnmi. . j t . nent man told your correspond ent last week, as has already been stated, that Rowland's brother- in-law, who is very well to do, is aiding the prosecution with his means. The Brotherhood of Lo comotive Engineers continue their interest in so far as Mrs. Row- lonn'a no uu a bags is concerned. It was through their influence she was arrested and that the grave charge ot poisoning Strange yet hangs over Dr. Rowland. Thev h j . w now dropped out of the case, the State taking charge of it, but they obligated themselves to pay for the analysis of Strange's stomach. An engineer said that in ano.h caBs it seemed that a guarantee had to be given that the expenses, which are said to be something like $200. will be met and that the Brotherhood of Engineers had stood for whatever was necessary. Of course, there are two beliefs here, as far apart as the polls, one being that Dr. and Mrs. Row land are absolutely innocent ; the other being that . they are guilty, that circumstantial evidence is overwhelmingly against them and that some subtle poison was ubed. Raleigh correspondence Char lotte Observer. Henderson, N. C, June 7, Prof. W. A. Withers, professor of chemistry at the. Agricultural and Mechanical College, Raleigh, whj examined the stomach of the dead boy, testified, that after the most careful analysis be had found no trace of any poison whatever. When this evidence was given the atmosphere of the crowded court room was tensewith suppressed emotion. Immediately Mr. Zolli coffer'sprang to his feet and in a few eloquent words expressed the relief and gratification of the prosecution and the community at this result and the removal of the awful sufpicion from the name uf the defendant. Magistr ate Gary informed Dr. Rowland that he was discharged, the announce ment being cheered by the large audience. Badly Mixed up. Abraham Brown, of Winterton, N.

Mr. Triplett and some of his folks were on his farm on Warrior creek when they noticed some thing high up in the air which resembled a corn stalk, and which was falling at a very rapid rate. The speed at which it descended caused them to regard it with more than ordinary curiosity and when it hit the ground they were soon at the place and to their great surprise found it to be an eel 22 inches long. It was badly stunned but was alive and when put into water it became very much alive. Two bruises were on its body. The supposition is that a crane or a hawk lost its dinner that day.
