Hannah Fonville, colored, was found guilty in Justice Fowler's court yesterday of larceny by trick " and bound over to the Circuit Criminal Court in the sum of $50. Hannah is an aged colored woman, but withal is a fluent talker and earns a livelihood by selling old garments on commission for white people. In this particular instance she sold a cloak to a woman living in "Brooklyn," accepted pari payment therefor and agreed to deliver the cloak at once, which she not only failed to do, but refused also to return the instalment of purchase money she had received. j Rose Lilly Addison, colored, for as sault and battery with a knife upon Sarah Ballard, also colored, trans ferred upon affidavit from the Mayor's Court, was bound oyer by Justice Mc Gowan to the Criminal Court in the sum of $25, which she gave, with Jas. Hi Anderson, colored, as surety. The assault was committed several nights ago at a negro dance at Lamb's hall. Sarah Ballard, in the same case, was found guilty of assault, but judgment was suspended on payment of cost. Harry Frei, formerly of Roanoke, Va., now of Knpxville, Tenn., has discovered, by reading the papers, his father and a fortune of $150,000.

Visit them for Bargains. t Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, April 19. The taking of testimony in the Dockery Bellamy contest began here to day be fore E. J. Best, notary public, i The following are witnesses: W. K Hen derson, of Indianapolis; J. R. Melton of Magnolia; L. H. Bryant, of Mag nolia; W. J. Harris, of Raleigh ; R. B. Russell, of Raleigh; J. T. Howef of Washington, and manager of the Caucasian. Congressman Bellamy and his attorney, C. M. Busbee, were present and Claudius Dockery repre sented the contestant. At the outset Mr. Busbee entered objection, on the ground that five days' notice had not been given. Mr. Betts, notary, ruled that he had no power to decide any question, but merely to take testi mony;. ! The first and only witness was R. B. Russell, colored, of Mazton. He is editor of the colored paper in this city. He testified that he was in Mazton on the day of election in November, 1898, and was chairman of the Republican Executive Committee; that there was considerable trouble in the Sixth' dis trict prior and up to the election. He received letters, as chairman of the district, from different counties, stating that it was impossible to organize as had been done in previous yearsJ In his immediate section there was fear among Republicans on account of th e Democratic press and intimidations. No speakings could be held. There was an organization in several coun ties known as "Red Shirts," and the purpose seemed to be to terrorize ; col ored voters. They made nightly raids just before the election, and shot through houses and warned voters not to go to the polls on election day. Two or three colored voters were whipped near Maxton. A'few nights before the election, in Maxton, the colored voters left their homes. There ; were not more than five who slept any night at their homes a week previous to the election. Those colored men who went to the polls before 12 o'clock were allowed to vote, but after that hour "Red Shirts" stood on the roads and drove every negro back. They were armed with Winchesters, and would discharge the same in the di rection of fleeing voters. Some few of the colored voters were slow in leaving the streets of Maxton, and they were severely punished. For several nights after the election the state of feeling among colored people produced by these events continued. Colored Republicans remained away from home at night, and on one occa sion witness counted fifteen or twenty coming 'from his barn early in the morning. He went to the mayor and asked if he could do something to re assure these people that no further harm would come to them. The mayor asked .him to act as committee of one to assure the colored people that he would do all in his power to protect thein. On cross-examination Russell de nied that he had received any Repub lican campaign funds directly to supj port his paper. Being pressed to name a single Democrat that he had known to resort to intimidation, the witness was -compelled to acknowledge that he knew none such. ' He accounted for the large increase in the Democratic vote from the fact that there was more work done. Some six hundred Croa tans voted, and heretofore only a small number of these had voted. Witness then stated, in reply to a question, that the Croatans before 1893 had usually voted the Fusion ticket. Taking of testimony will be resumed to-morrow morning. j Dispensary Ruling. State Treasurer Worth to-day ruled that "no liquor can be sold from a dispensary except to a 1 party holding a prescription from a practic ing physiciaV' This ruling, if sus tained by the courts, will have the effect of breaking up every dispensary in the State. He also rules that every baseball game, at which admission is charged, must pay a tax of $5.00. Paul Garden, a white man, 64 years old, committed suicide at Pilot Mills near here Sunday night by shooting himnnlf in the head with a pistol. He had been in an asylum about a year and was released only Friday, Owing to the fact that the ball entered the back of his head and came out at the MkhA91 and that the matter did not AVAWUWMWf - become known here until to-day, there is some suspicion of foul play. The body was buried yesterday. The. A. &M. College. The committee on examination and reorganization of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, which met here yesterday afternoon, completed work to-night and adjourned. j.i agreeu w make the following recommendations to the board of trustees at the annual meeting in June: 1.

Action with reference to calling off the election on the bond issue was taken by the Board of County Com missioners at the special meeting held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of considering this matter.1 . ( The Board met at 3 o'clock, all mem bers being present except Commis sioner Alexander, who was unable to get to the city on account of the weather.
