Ac cording to a report by the State In spector, one tract which had been sold to the State eleven times had simply an imaginary existence. , Gen. Maltzeff, one of the richest men and one of the largest, but not the largest, land owners in Russia !who died recently, owned twenty nine mines, in which oo,UUU men were employed. A few men own about all the real estate and minera properties in that Empire, and the Czar, who is thrifty, heads the list. A St. Louis newspaper which col lected about $30,000 for the relief of the unemployed of that city, proposes to spend it in making an artificial lake in one of the public parks, thus giving employment to a good many men. This removes the impression entertained by some that the St. Louis newspaper man has a violent aversion to water. The latest crank who has come to the front is J. S. Coxey, of Massillon, Ohio, who proposes to march 100, 000 men to Washington, to compel the Government to issue $500,000, 000 of Treasury notes. He says they will carry the, white flag of peace first and if that fails raise Hades, or something of that sort. In other words be will make it hot. He hasn't yet given orders for the army to fall in line and forward march. The New York World Almanac for 1894 makes a book ot 480 pages crammed with an immense amount of useful information, political, historic financial, industrial &c, in this and in other countries, accom panied by statistical tables of great value, and conveniently arranged for reference. It would be difficult to imagine a work Of this kind more comprehensive or complete. Pub lished by the Press Publishing Com pany, Pulitzer Building, New York, price 25 cents.- It is reported that Minister Harry M. Smythe, who represents this Gov ernmeot in Hayti, has been telling the authorities there how they ought to run their government, and that he incidently gave Mr. Hippo lyte old Harry for running the ma chine as he does. There are not Americans enough in Hayti to revolutionize things: if there were he might follow the example of ex Minister Stevens at Honolulu, get up a racket and bounce Hippi as Lili was bounced. The Chinese in this country are at last beginning to comply with the re gistration law. The Chinese Consul at San Francisco first advised them to comply, but they paid no atten- tion to him; then the Six Companies advised them, but they paid little at tention to that; finally the Chinese Minister at Washington put his name to a paper sent over by his Govern mem, ana tnat sett lea the question. The Chinese in this country have a good deal more respect for the or ders of their Emperor than they have for the laws of this country, which is simply a pasture ground for them. F VOL. LIIL NO. 112.

Senator Hill once characterized the Senate as an "oligarchy of patron age mongers." We do not know what his opinion now is since he has become one of the oligarchs, but he seems to have dropped into line without much seducing. The much talked of "bulletproof cloth, of which the clothes of the German soldiers was to be made, is no go. It has been rejected, the principal reason being that the tests made didn't furnish satisfactory proof that it was bullet proof. The movement in Chicago to abolish the free lunch in saloons has proved a failure. It was a bad time to start it, in addition to which, if there is anything on the free list that the average Chicago man banks on it is the free lunch.

Continuation of Arguments of Counsel In the Case The Case Will Probably Go to . the-Jory To-Day. -. - Special Star Correspondence. Fayetteville, February 1, 1894. The Courr was opened at 10 o'clock this morning; and argument in the case of. E. F.; Fuller, charged with murder, was continued. - - SOLICITOR M'NEILL. Solicitor McNeill began his speech at 11 o'clock, at the conclusion of a' very able speech by Mr. John G. Shaw, of Cumberland. Solicitor: McNeill said the prisoner at the bar has nothing to complain of. The jury are gentlemen of his own selection, and the Judge has shown careful im partiality ia presiding over the proceed ings and in all of his rulings, and has manifested an earnest disposition to give each side a fair showing and to get at the true facts in the case, having in view always the ends ot justice. The 1 defendant in this case admits the killing of Parker. It is incumbent on him, according to law, to show the necessity of the killing, ibe crime of mur der having been divided into two degrees, it - is your duty, gentlemen of the jury, to consider the facts in the case and to determine the degree of the crime. According to the evidence in the case as viewed by us, we contend that be is guilty of murder in the first degree. If you are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant approached Parker with the intention to kill him, tben you must nnd that be is guilty of murder in the first degree. The Solicitor proceeded to dissect the evidence to prove that Fuller did lay in wait for Parker with the full purpose to kill him, and that be was fully prepared to do the work, it having been shown by evidence that lie had previously armed himself with the metal knucks and pistol The Solicitor called attention to the fact that Parker was unarmed, that be did not anticipate any trouble with Fuller, and that be did not apprehend any at tack from Fuller. In reply to Mr. Battle s quotation from Judge Pearson, "The barking dog is not the biting dog," he argued that that sort of talk would do before the doe bit some one, but that after the biting was done the argument would not do. That the argument that Fuller was only boasting and would shoot no one, he said that might have been be lieved prior to the killing of Parker, but tbat alter be bad Killed farker it was a remark tbat would not be believed. The Solicitor spoke for one hour and five minutes. His speech was an able and logical - recitation of the .evidence, impartially, and -feelingly delivered. showing that the speaker was deeply impressed with the gravity and solemnity of the duty to be performed by the jury, and witn a due appreciation ot the con sequences of their verdict. COL. C W. BROADFOOT. At 12 o'clock Col. C. W. Broadfoot, counsel for the defence, began his argu ment. tie started out by a reference to the case of the State vs. Ingold. upon hich the defence relies for verdict of excusable homicide, and ably and earnestly endeavored to prove the theory of the defence that in the killing of Par ker, Fuller acted only in obedience to the first law of nature, and did what he conceived it necessary to do in order to preserve his own life. He argued to the jury the great weight of responsibility upon them in making up their verdict reminding them that their verdict was the highest and last result; tbat their ac tion could not be reviewed or reversed; tbat His Honor s errors might be re viewed, but that their verdict must stand. Referring to the testimony of Miss Addie Chandler, counsel said he could not believe that she heard Fuller say that be intended to approach Parker, spit in his face, etc., and tben kill him. Because, said he, if she had beard that and had believed Fuller was in earnest, she would have made an out-cry to pre vent the meeting; and failing to do so, she was responsible for Parker s death He reminded the jury tbat the result of this trial hinged upon the testimony of Miss Chandler, and tbat therefore her testimony should be considered by them in comparison wltb the testimony of witnesses who had contradicted her, and whose characters were proved to be equally as good as ber own. At the request of the speaker a con tinuance of his speech was deferred until afternoon, and Court adjourned until 2.S0 o clock AFTERNOON SESSION Upon the re-asSembling of Court at 2.20 o'clock. Col. Broadfoot resumed his argument. Referring to the evidence of Miss Loula Steel when she said, "I begged htm not to go to him," be ar gued tbat tbat exclamation did not mean that she knew that be intended to commit wilful murder, as the State claims, but from the anguish'ot her soul she cried out, because she bad anticipat ed that bodily harm to her loved one would be the result. She meant she did not want him to go and ask for an apol ogy, lest some trouble between them might ensue. Counsel endeavored to impress upon the. jury that the bur den was on the State to prove beyond'a reasonable doubt the guilt of the pns oner, and that should they fail to do so the prisoner was entitled to a verdict of excusable homicide. From this point he very closely con nected and rehearsed the evidence. taking up the important testimony and deducing from the whole the conclus ion, according to decisions ot the Supe rior Court in similar cases, that the pris oner should not only not be convicted of murder in the first degree, or murder in the,second degree, or manslaughter; bat that the jury should" find a verdict of nothing more than justifiable, or ex cusable. homicide. Giving a definition of malice he said it must be shown that Fuller was afbad man, possessing a heart desperately wicked, bent on mischief. and argued that the contrary was proven; that be was not only a wit and a vain, idle boaster bat withal a man of good character. He also argued tbat there Is 2 1894. but slight evidence that Fuller is guilty i of even manslaughter-the only witness testifying to circumstances going to show manslaughter was the colored girl Emma Taylor, whose evidence, be continued, was not credible, she having neen proven to be a woman of bad char acter; and, further, that her presence on the street near the homicide that day was not discovered ' bv either ot nine witnesses, who were! near the scene at the time, and. that therefore her testi mony shovild not be accepted and con sidered. In conclusion Colonel Broad- toot asked a patient, unprejudiced and intelligent consideration of all the evi dence, and the law as expounded by His Honor, and expressed confidence that after so doing their verdict would be "Not Guilty." HON. GEO. M. ROSE, the silver-tongued orator and the able debater of Cumberland, - immediately succeeded Col. Broadf oot. He ' opened his speech with an expression of assur ance that the jury was disposed to do their lull duty, conscientiously, and with an eye single to the . vindication of justice, and the laws of the country. Death is a solemn thing, and before them (the jury) and the great Law-giver of the Heavens, stood a man who was on trial for his life, and there was -a fearful responsibility resting upon them. that could not be evaded, and argued tbat no innocent man should suffer at their hands. The public had the . in terest that truth and justice should pre vail here. He claimed tbat there had been unfatrneess on the part of the prosecution in this case, in that they had put upon the stand to condemn this prisoner, witnesses of known bad char acter, and in suppressing testimony that would have shown beyond all question the innocence ot the prisoner. The beginning of his speech was an ar raignment of the counsel for the prose cution for their unfairness and a repudi ation of the principal testimony relied upon by th; State. He, in an eloquent manner, referred to the mam facts in the case, going to show tbat in the execution of the deed resulting in the death of Mr Parker, Fuller simply acted in defence ot his own life, and tbat under all cases upon which the Supreme Court of North Carolina had rendered any decission de fining the character of murder in contra distinction to justifiable homicide, in all such cases where the evidence partook of the character of the evidence adduced here; the defendant was adjudged guilty ot nothing. Mr. Rose discussed at length the pre vious character of the prisoner, and the character and standing of the witnesses. who testified tbat he was a man to whom no suspicion was attached, and "in whom there was no guile," and making his character the basis of his argument, pro ceeded to deliver one of the most inter esting and eloquent speeches that has ever been delivered since the notable trial of Ann K. Simpson, when some of the ablest debaters and most eloouent orators whose names have ever graced the annals of history were the partici pants At this hour. 4.30 p. m., he is still speaking. Mr. Rose will probably con elude bis speech this afternoon, and fol lowing him Col. Argo will conclnde his argument in the case (whether to-night or to-morrow I cannot say.) a. EVE.

R WHOLE NO. 8.352 MERCHANTS MEETING To Consider the Pre j sot for a Horticultural "Pair to be Held Here In August It Meet With Favor From All. A meeting of merchants and other business men was held last night at The Orton; nearly every branch of business in the city was represented, both whole sale and retail. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, F, W. Kerchner, with Secretary P. Hinesbcrger, Jr., at his post. Col. Kerchner stated that it was hardly necessary to recite the object of the meeting, as most every one was familiar with it; that the fair was a State concern and not for a particular section. After explain ing fully the benefits to be derived, he had the secretary to read the letter, ask ing the citizens to guarsantee $500 to be given in premiums. He spoke of open ing new fields and the lesson it would learn our farmers, seeing what is done in other sections of the State. The plan is, for the Wilmington mer chants to subscribe a fund of one thous and dollars as a guarantee, so if the fair loses money a percentage to make up the deficit can be taken out of the fund and the balance returned to them, pro portionately. If the entrance fee and the privilege fees cover the expenses of the fair, it will cost the merchants nothing. If money is made out of the scheme then a dividend will be paid to subscrib ers. He said that Chicago merchants subscribed ten million dollars to the World's Fair as a guarantee, and every cent was returned to them, as the fair paid its own expenses. He thought the fair would be better than a Welcome Week festival as visitors came then for a frolic, and this would be for business and learning. Mr. J. H, Barnard said Wilmington should have attractions here, for the benefit of the community, and not creep and follow behind towns smaller than she is. The merchants should have more vim and push aud take hold with interest, and make our gala occasions success. This is the largest town in the State, and should have a fair and a bang up one one in ten years anyway. His talk was full of logic and was filled with good advice. Mr. P. Pearsall. of the firm of McNair and Pearsall, spoke in favor of the scheme and said it would be in August a good month for the wholesale mer chants and that his firm would do their part and he though the majority of wholesale dealers would come in. Col. E. D. Hall said that in 1883 a fair was held here which didn't cost the city a cent, as the entrance fees over-paid the costs, and now all tbat is asked is an as surance ior me prizes. He spoke o: having Gen. Jno. B. Gordon, of Georgia to deliver his address at the Opera House one night during the fair, which would attract a number of visitors. Mr. G. G. Lewis said he was glad to see the merchants so much in favor of this project, and knowing that the money needed would be returned, and facing the fact that nine out of ten fairs held in this State were successful and paid their own expenses, he thought the money could be raised easily. Mr. H. H. Kasprowitz said be was in favor of anything which would put some life in the town and benefit it. He said it was no use for the merchants to at tempt to live here with their eyes shut as if asleep, and his firm would subscribe $25. Many others subscribed the same amount, and will run the risk of receiv ing a dividend on their cash. Upon motion it was decided to have the fair, and a committee was appointed to call on the merchants to-day and report to the meeting to be held at The Orton Saturday night at 8 o'clock- The following is the Subscription Committee, who are earnestly requested to meet Col. Kerchner at The Orton to day at 10 o'clock: J. H. Barnard T. Pearsall, G.G. Lewis, Jno. M. Wright, Robt I. Katz. Roger Moore, P. Heins berger, S. Van Amringe, Geo, C. Souther land, S. A. Schloss, J.
