A FORGER CAUGHT And Sent to Jail in Default of Bail-He At. tempted to Fasa Bogus Cheek on Williams & Murch'.aon's Bank. Win. L. Johnson, a colored man about 88 years of age. was sent to jail from Jus tice J. M. McGowan's court yesterday, in default of $1,000 bail. Johnson is charged with forgery, and the evidence against him is sufficient to ensure his conviction when the case comes up for trial at the next term of the Criminal Court. Yesterday morning a colored boy entered the banking house of Messrs. Williams & Murchison and presented a check for "forty dollars" payable to ' cash." and signed "L. B. Sasser," the name of the well known druggist on Market street. With the request the boy gave the cashier a cote written on one of Mr. Sasser's prescription blanks, asking that the money be given the bearer, as be (Mr. Sasser) did not have time to come down to the bank. Mr. Grainger, the cashier, com pared the signature on the check with signatures of Mr. Sasser on o.her checks and found that they were dis similar. He questioned the boy, who said Mr. Sasser was at the postoffice, waiting for . him to bring the money. The cashier went to the postoffice with the boy, who pointed out Johnson as the man who gave him the check. Johnson accompanied Mr. Grainger to the bank and asked that Hie money be given him, and then went off to telephone Mr. Sasser, as he said. During his absence, - Mr. Grainger called up Mr. Sasser on the phone, who replied that he bad not sent the check. In the meantime. John son came back and told the cashier that Mr. Sasser said, "send the money imme diately." He did not get the money, however,and left the bank, but only to be arrested shortly afterwards on a war rant issued by justice McGowan and served by police officer White. Mr. Sasser testified at the examina tion before the magistrate that he did not fill out or sign the check, and that it was apparently torn from his check book. Johnson, he said, had been in nis employ a snort time and bad access to the place where his books and papers were kept. DIPHTHERIA AND CROUP. Dr. Chancellor's Report Upon Inoculation as a Remedy for These Dsseaaes. Washington, October 25. The new treatment by inoculation for diphtheria and croup, as practiced in France, is the subject of a special report to the Depart ment of State by United States Consul C. W. Chancellor at Havre. He says that by this method of treatment only one out of four diphtheria patients succumbs, whereas the figure is double for other methods of treatment heretotore em ployed. Consequently the Consul, who is a Baltimore physician of repute, says that it would seem very desirable that the anti-diphtheretic serum should be introduced and come into general use at the earliest period practicable in America, where many thousand children and and numerous physicians.students and nurses die annually from diphtheria and croup. 1 be consul gives in detail a history of the developement of the treatment by Dr. Pasteur and his assistant, Dr. Roux, who have been experimenting with it for five years, keeping it secret until they had satisfied themselves of its efficacy and had selected the animal (the horse) best adapted to transform tbe diphthe- retic poison into an anti-toxine. A trial of the new treatment at one of the larg est children's hospitals of Paris resulted in reducing tbe death rate from diphthe ria from 51 70 per cent, to 24.33 per cent. In addition, it is stated that chil dren vaccinated with tbe serum were protected from tbe disease, eyen while living in close contact with diphtheria patients. As the Pasteur Institute can not meet the great demands for the serum, movements are on foot in differ ent localities to establish auxiliary sta tions. In slight cases one injection of the serum is sufficient, while the ordi nary case yields to two. BY RIVER AND RAIL. Receipts of Naval Stores and Cotton Yesterday. Wilmington & Weldon R.

IN TRADE CIRCLES. The Industrial Revival Has Made Ea- oouraging Progress-Boots and Bhoea in the Lead. The Philadelphia Record, in its weekly review of trade, says: Business during the last week has shown well sustained activity in some departments, and less in others. The industrial rivival has made encouraging progress. The boot and shoe factories are crowded with orders, and of tbe cheaper grades.of goodsjroducttons are sold from one to three months ahead. Shipments from Eastern centers are larger than at tbe corresponding period in either of the two precedine fears. Production of textile fabrics and the output of iron and steel continue to in crease. The distribution of some lines of goods from first hands has fallen off a little, owing to tbe advanced stage of the season, and on account aisoof tbe retardation ot consumption by mild weather. The fall in cotton prices has unfavorably affected business and re stricted credits in some parts of the South, although most of the reports from that section take a hopeful view of the business situation. The backward season, low prices for agricultural products and the increasing political excitement in many btates lully account for the light shrinkage in the volume of business disclosed by the re turns of bank clearings. Railroad earn ings in October have decreased 3 8 per cent., but the decline is attributable to the fact that current comparisons are with the period last year, when the World's Fair passenger business was at its height. A MURDERER ACQUITTED. HcXisndos, the Tillman Spy, Acq.--.i-.ied by a Tillman Jnry at Darlington. Darlington, October 27 The long hours of the McLendon murder trial closed to-day, and the jury, at 11.30 to night, after deliberating on the case for about five hours, brought in a verdict of "not guilty." The only surprise is that the jurors, who are Tillmamtes, deliber ated at an. The last witness was examined about 10 o'clock this morning and the speeches for the defence lasted until the Court adjourned for the afternoon ses sion. Solicitor Johnson made the only speech for the prosecution.and those who heard his argument are of opinon that this was the effort of his life. He spoke tor three hours and held tne absorbed and undivided attention of the entire audience, his speech gaining in strength and vigor until its masterly and brilliant close. To-night this speech is the topic that is being most discussed. Judge Norton's charge to the jury, from what can be learned, was against the prisoner and was somewhat lengthy. Dispas sionate hearers of tbe testimony say that the evidence against McLendon could not have been stronger, and yet no one here has thought for a moment that a verdict of guilty would be brought against the murderer. As stated in the first of these dispatches tbe whole thing was worse than an empty mockery, and vet the farce had to be ponn throuah wun io oraer tnat tne usuai legal iorms should be observed. Btedman for Senator. The Washington Post has the follow ing concerning the Senatorial contest In this State i "Advices received here from North Carolina indicate that Maj. Charles M. Stedman will probably be elected to succeed the late Z. B. Vance in the Senate. Senator Jarvls might have bad the short, and perhaps, the long term from the western part of the State, but he preferred to cross swords with Sena tor Ransom in the eastern section, in the hope of forcing the latter into re tirement. While tbe struggle between Senators Ransom and Jarvis is being waged in the eastern district, the Sted man boom in the western district has grown to flourishing proportions. Maj, Stedman is a Democrat of the old school." Benatar Ransom. Senator Ransom, who delivered one of his great speeches at Greensboro, Sat urday, spent Sunday night in Wilming ron and went to Jacksonville yesterday, where he addressed a large meeting of Democrats and a considerable number of Populists. Although now in his 69th year. General Ransom is holding up well under the arduous work of the campaign. It is not un common fcr him to make two speeches a day. covering about five hours, and it is conceded that his speeches attract larger crowds and exert more influence than those of any other canvasser in the field. He speaks at Nashville, Nash county, to-day. POPS. ARE WITHDRAWING. They Couldn't Stand the Backet in Btokes County. Winston, N. C, October 27. Cheer ing Democratic news comes from Stokes county to-day. All but two of the Third party candidates have withdrawn in favor of the Democrats. The two left are candidates for the Legislature and countv treasurer. Both were formerly good Democrats. It is believed that they will pull out. Tbe candidates who came down say the Populist party was getting too close to the Republicans to snit them; that the Republicans only want to use the Third party as the tool to get in office.
