There has been a good deal of
lonbt about it but Mrs. Besant
clears it up when she explains: "Th'e
aura is a color effect resultant from
tbe vibration of waves of psyshic
ether, emanating from the soul of
the individual." As they say about
some of the inventions, this is so
simple the wonder is that somebody
didn t discover it long ago.
The Tennessee man who shot a
dog, shot )t he owner in explain

will probably take the precaution to
see that the gun is not loaded.
One of twelve boys, bitten by a

That Washington doctor who doesn't

some points by conferring with some
of these doctors.
The Des Moines, Iowa, Register
was probably trying to get the bulge

it said: "We have added $146,000,-

According to the New York Ad

sidered more elevating than that ot

WILMINGTON, N. C WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31,
SATURDAY NIGHT'S HOMICIDE.
Testimony Before Coronal' Vary Oon
olnded The Verdlot.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
coroner's jaryi which has been holding
an inquest over the body of Walter Pem
bleton, reassembled at the Court House
and resumed the hearing of the testi
mony in the case. After all the evi
dence was given tbe jury returned the
following verdict: That the deceased,
Walter Pembleton, came to his death
from a gunshot wound in the head at
the hands of Simon Prince or Henry
Sbepard.
Tbe first testimony considered yester
day morning was the report of Dr. J. C.
Sbepard, Superintendent of Health,
which was as follows :
Gentlemen of the fury of Inquest:
On yesterday, tbe 28th aay of March.
I examined the dead body of a colored
man in the city of Wilmington, whose
name I nnderstood to be Walter Pem
bleton. -1 found the cause of death to be
a gun shot wound in the bead, located in
tbe forehead above the left eye; the ball
was located six inches from the orifice of
the wound, having passed directly,
through the brain and lodging in the
back part of the same.
The first witness examined was Jose
phine Pigford, colored, who testified as
follows : Saturday night I was at my
house on Chadbourn Hill. Between 10
and 11 o'clock some one knocked at the
door of the house, which is rented by
Ellen Moseley. When we opened the
door Will Lord was standing outside.
Lord asked Ed. Mosely, who was inside,
to step . outside the house. Moseley
went out and Lord asked him to loan
him a hat. Moseley enquired of Lord
what was the matter, and Lord replied
that the "niggers were shooting and
raising the devil over at Mary Houston's
house." Moseley then asked him if
any body was hurt, and Lord said not
that he knew of, but that he didn't take
time to see. Later in the night, about
12 o'clock, Lee Blocker, colored, came
to my house, and I asked him what was
the matter, to which he replied that
there was nothing the matter. I asked
him if he had been on the hill, and he
replied that he had. I then asked him
it it was so about a man being killed,
and he said it was certainly so; it was
Walter Pembleton, who worked on the
section. I asked him where Pembleton
was shot and who shot him. He replied
that he (Pembleton) was shot over the left
eye, but he did not know who shot him.
He also stated that tbe house (where the
killing-cxurred) was full of people and
mentioned the names of Will Townsend,
fim Townsend and Flovd Cole. Sunday
night Will Townsend came over home
and 1 asked him if he was at Mary
Houston's Saturday night. He said be
was and when I asked him what he did
when the shooting took place, he said be
couldn't get out of the honse; that he
held tbe lamp until the man fell and
then he threw it in the fireplace and
jumped out of the window. Mary
Houston and Jim Whitley live
in the house where the killing occurred,
and I know the bouse is kept to gam
ble in. I was in the house a week ago
Saturday night, and gambled with Wal
ter Pembleton and Mary Houston in a
two-cent "skin" game. JimWhltley
was standing at a table cutting cards for
a ten and fifteen cent "skin" game.
Mary Houston was cnttipg the cards
in the game I was in. Geo. Acker and
Frank Hamer, both colored, were also
in the house. Acker was playing, with
Whitley, but Hamer was broke and
could not play.
Frank Hamer, colored, was the next
witness and he testified: 1 was at Jim
Whitley's house Saturday night a week
ago. I was doing nothing. I didn't have
any money to gamble with. Several peo
ple were at a table in the roomr but I
don't know who they were. I saw them
have a pack of cards and supposed they
were playing, but I didn't see any money.
Mary Houston, bimon Prince and Jim
Whitley were in the house. I have gam
bled in the house, but I don't know
whether the people there that night
were gambling. When employed I work
at Messrs. Powers & Gibbs' guano fac
tory. Wm. Lord, colored, who was in the
house when the altercation between
Prince and.Shepard commenced, was
next examined and gave in his testi.
mony as follows: I went to Jim Whitley's
house Saturday night about 7 o'clock
and found Simon Prince. Jim Whitley,
Walter Pembleton and Henry Shepard
there, all , sitting down and talking.
Prince said to Sbepard, "Why in. the
h I don't youpay me ?" and Shepard
replied. "I will never do it." Prince
said, "If you don't pay me. I will shoot
h 1 out of you!'' and Shepard answered,
"I can shoot as well as you," and
pulled a pistol out of his pocket. Prince
drew his pistol and the two men walked
towards each other. Prince again said
to Shepard, "Why in the b 1 don't
you pay me? I loaned you .e money
when yon needed it." Sbepard said, -'I
will never pav yo j until I get ready,"
and Prince then repeated, "If you don't
pay me I will shoot b 1 oat of you."
They once more commenced to walk to
wards each other and I said, "I believe
those d -n negroes are going to
Shoot," and I went out of tbe room.
When I rushed out the door two or
three people ran oat behind me. I
heard the firing of a pistol as I was
going out tbe door, and in my fi ght
dropped my hat. I started back after
it, bat hearing the firing I wouldn't go.
I went to Ed. Moseley's house and bor
rowed a hat. There was no gambling
going on ia the house Saturday night.
When the fusi commenced Prince was
sitting by tbe window and Sbepard by
the door. I have seen gambling going
on In tbe house and I have seen Walter
Pembleton gambling.

AND THE BERMUDA.

and Beoip tared by
the Cabana.
New York Journal
The Cuban Junta in New York re
ceived the news yesterday that three
filibustering expeditions bad landed ma
nitions of war in Cuba successfully.
it was the best news for tbe insurgent
cause that has been beard in months. It
means that there ! are now four million
cartridges in the hands of the patriots,
who have been sadly handicapped be
cause of a lack of ammunition.
LAURADA AND THREE FRIENDS.
The most important of the expeditions
were those of the Laurada and tbe
Three Friends. Both vessels bave been
having fun with the Spanish that will
add a humorous chapter to the history
of free Cuba when it is written. And of
all the Laurada s jokes on Weyler her
last one is the best.
She landed at Bane's wharf and that
is just opposite a fortress. The de
tails of how this was accomplished have
not been received, but New York Cu
nans oeueve uenerai Koion, who was
in command of the expedition, must
bave carried out some strategy that was
most remnrkable. i
The Laurada' s cargo consisted of
8.016 rifles. 126 cases of explosives. 4
guns and 3 000,000 cartridges. Her trip
was a bold one from the start. Early
in March she left her dock in Baltimore,
ostensibly for Pailadelphia. The Pink
ertons,were watching her. and when she
sailed the Philadelphia office of the de
tective bureau kept a lookout.
DETECTIVES OUTWITTED.
' They waited till the Laurada should
bave appeared and then sent tbe tug
Protector, with three detectives on
board, for the Cuban joker. They
sailed to the neighborhood off Bar-
negat. and after waiting a day located
the Laurada several miles off sbore.
Tney saw Captain Johnny O'Brien
Dynamite Johnny clamber on board
from a schooner, and it the Pinkertons
had been there long enough they might
have witnessed the transfer of tbe cargo
just landed in Cuoa from the barge
loseph H. and the schooner Donna
Drives to the deck of tbe Laurada.
By the time the detectives discovered
the Laurada' s strategy, however, she was
ready to sail. The big Protector came
to New York, telegrams were flashed to
Washington and the revenue cutter
Barnes at started out to see what mis
chief tbe Laurada was up to, but by that
time the fluouster was well on her wav.
The expedition of the Three Friends,
according to information received here,
was landed at Mananao by Perez Carbo.
LARGE AMOUNT OF SUPPLIES.
Tbe cargo consisted cf 6.000 rifles
and 600.000 cartridges There were in
addition a number of volunteers for the
Cuban cause.
The Three Friends sailed from one of
the keys of the Florida coast. The mu
nitions had been stored on Rodriguez
Key, a small island' ninety miles south
ot Cape Florida, to which they were
sent in small quantities in catboats that
were supposea to : oe on lisbmg tnpsrl
The Spanish spies were near v-iiand,
out never guessed that-tbe Three
Friends was playing another trick on tbe
Dons.
Atter the Three Friends departed, two
Government detectives and a special
agent pf the Treasury sailed tor tbe
Cape, but faited to get a trace ot the
filibuster or any who helped fit her out.
THE THIRD EXPEDITION.
The third expedition was landed by
Emtio Nunez on March 21st at Madrid.
It is thought that the vessel may be the
Bermuda, whose movements have been
a mystery since she left a Brooklyn dock
several months ago, ostensibly to go to
Halifax.
Rumors are current at Key West that
when tbe filibuster, landed at Mariel
she was attacked by a Span lab force,
which was lying in ambush. The report
has it that there was sharp firing on both
sides; that several Cubans were killed
and the munitions seized, but afterward
recaptured by tbe Cuban body that
came to' the aid of tbe filibusters. It
is stated tbat the Spanish then retreated,
but that two gunboats arrived in time to
fire several futile shots at the filibuster
as she sailed away.
CUBAN BONDS DEFRAYED EXPENSES.
Two tugs, believed to be the Samson
and Monarch, are said to, have aided the
filibusters.
The money with which the Junta fitted
out the Laurada and other recent ex
peditions was derived chiefly from the
sale of Cuban bonds, wbich have been
on the market now nearly a year. These
bonds are to-day selling at a higher rate
than Spanish bonds, and bankers as a
rule favor the Cuban securities.
The Cuban bond issuance of a year
ago has not all been disposed of by the
Junta. Two millionor tnereabouts still
remain unsold. Care is taken by tbe
Cubans to prevent the bonds falling
into the hands of a set or clique of
financiers, who might operate to the
disparagement of the securities. '
