Attempted Suicide and Minister's Request Give Him Another Week. WILL HANG NEXT FRIDAY. Took Overdose of Morphine snd Later Tried to Cat His Throat With Knife. Condemned Mia Attempts to Excite Political Sympathy. Special Star Telegram. Clinton, N. C, Sept 7. Archie Kinsauls was not hanged to day be cause of an attempt to commit suicide by cutting his throat this morning with a pocket knife. He is now un conscious and pronounced by the phy sicians to be in a very critical condi tion and very likely to die from the wound. He passed a sleepless night, atd early this morning was violently sick with cholera morbus and ate no breakfast whatever. He has protested all along that he would not be hang ed, and even when the gallows was being built in the jail enclosure where he could see it he said he would not be hanged on it. Some took this to mean that he had suicidal intent, and others thought that it was because he had high hopes that the Governor would interfere. He cut his throat on both sides, but did not go quite deep enough to ' reach the jugular vein. A telegram was received by the sheriff from Governor Russell post poning the day of execution till Fri day, the 14th of September. The Star yesterday told in detail the story of Kinsaul's crime, his sub sequent arrest, liberation from jail by his friends, re-capture after being wounded by sheriff's posse, convic tion by the court, removal to New Hanover county jail for safe keeping and his final return to the Clinton prison for execution; all of which in cidents, with hundreds cf others of more or less moment, combine to make this the most interesting murder case probably ever known in Eastern North Carolina. The keenest interest in the appointed banging was mani fested by Wilmington people yester day, and inquiries at newspaper of fices were ftequent The condemned man was respited by the Governor as indicated above, it is learned, not alone for the reason that the circum stances of the hanging would be very revolting from the nature of the wounds and condition of the man, but also for the reason that local min isters of the gospel strenuously urged an extension of his time for ' the rea son that he was religiously not then prepared to die. A gentleman, who arrived in the city last night but who preferred that his name be not given, brought addi tional news of the attempt at suicide and the feeling about Clinton. He stated that from information gained at Warsaw from a gentleman who ar rived from Clinton about noon, he thought the Populists of Sampson were jubilant over the prospects of the hanging, though persons well ac quainted with the circumstances of the killing say there was no political sig nificance in it This statement is borne out by the fact that many Dem ocrats are the most urgent advocates of the execution. The Democrats, he says, appear to prefer that Kinsauls should die of the wounds inflicted by his own hands rather than be a victim of a hanging which is so revolting to him. At any rate from the informa tion given the Stab, it is not likely there will be the least trouble so far as regards the political parties, leaders on both sides disclaiming any motives other than those prompted by justice in the matter. The first attempt on the part of Kin sauls to end his life was early yester day morning, when after spending a sleepless night he feigned a violent attack of cholera morbus and took this occasion to swallow fifteen one-fourth grain tablets ot morphine, which he said afterwards he had brought with him from Wilmington. This attempt at his self-destruction was discovered by the death watch then on, and he was brought around all right by physi cians. Each tablet of the morphine taken is said to have contained a one hundreth part of atropia, which is said to have counteracted the effect of the morphine to some extent or his first attempt at suicide would have been successful. About 11 o'clock, just one hour be fore the appointed time for the execu tion, Kinsauls said he wanted to sleep until the hour for his death and the man on watch retired. Returning in about half an hour he was surprised to find the prisoner lying on the floor of his cell in an unconscious condition with two gashes evidently made down ward from each ear with a pocket knife drawn toward the throat A jack knife was found ntar and the wounded man had lost about three pints of blood from the gashes which fortunately, though perhaps not in tended, did not sever the jugular vein. It is unknown from what source he procured the knife. Drs. Lee and Lee and Dr. John Av Stevens ministered to Kinsauls' needs, though physicians are non committal as to the probable re sult of the injuries. Kinsauls upon ' every occasion has tried to inject the political feature in his case and is quoted as having said to the workmen building the scaffold in side the jail: "No d n Populist will ever hang me on that trap I" The fol lowing letter, receiyed by- Sheriff Mac Rae and Jailor Millis, is also signifi cant: To the Sheriff and Mr. Millis, and all other good Democrats: They say that they are going to hang me, or kill me one way or another, but I am not going to let any Third Party man hang me; lam too sharp for that They will let no Democrats come to see me. Neither wilj they allow my wife nor any of my people to come. "The Populists come in and worry me all they can. Before I will die at the hands of the Populists I will kill myself. The bastards are bragging about hanging one Democrat but God knows it is unjust They say that they want to show the Democrats that they can rule the county. I will be dead, but I hope you will not allow them to do as they please any longer. "I want you all to help my wife and baby, and don't let her go to her father, for he is a Populist. Please help her along and don't allow her to ask any Populists to help her. I have not time to write much now ; so, good-bye for this time. "F.om your friend, "Archie: Kinsauls." INJURY TO WILMINGTON LADY Mrs. Donald MacRae Thrown from a Batty at Linville Yesterday Morn lug Her Condition Serious. Numerous friends in Wilmington received yesterday with a shock the news that Mrs. Donald MacRae had been seriously injured in a runaway at Linville, a mountain Summer resort near Asheville, by being thrown to an embankment from a buggy in which she was riding yesterday morn ing. Particuld-s o IV: distressing oc currence are unknown to the family or friends .here, other than that the injuries are internal and very severe, but not necessarily fatal. The news came in a telegram from Mr. Hugh MacRae to Dr. George G. Thomas, inquiring if he could come at once in case his services were needed. The construction placed upon the telegram is that Mrs. MacRae is not so severely injured as is supposed by seme, or the message would have summoned Dr. Thomas to come at once and would have been ac companied by telegrams to members of the family here, had there been a probability of Mr. MacRae having been fatally injured. ' Particulars are expected to-day, as Linville is removed some distance from a telegraph station and any news per taining to the affair would have to be sent by stage to the railroad. There are with Mrs. MacRae her husband and three sisters, Mrs. M. F. H. Gouvernir, Mrs. Hugh MacKae and Mrs. George Rountree. Also, Mr. Hugh MacRae and possibly other members of the family. Mrs. Hugh MacRae has been quite ill with typhoid fever, but is somewhat improved. A trained nurse from Boston has been with her during her sickness and the nurse's presence in the accident to Mrs. Donald MacRae is very fortunate. THURSDAY WAS THE DIY. Mistake North Carolinians Made by Not Consnlting the State Law. It now appears that after all, Wilmington people and those of the whole State, for that matter, were a little premature in celebrating Labor Day last Monday and that, according to the North Carolina law, Thursday was the day which should have been celebrated. The Star several days ago, through the kind thoughtfulness of Dr. W. W. Harriss and Col. John L. Cantwell, called attention to the probable mis take but stated that as most other States observe Monday, there might have been a typographical error as to the day. Dr. Harriss has, however, removed all doubts as to a misprint and yester day received the following reply from an inquiry to the Secretary of State regarding the probability of an error in printing : "Raleigh, Sept 5, 1900. Replying to your letter of the 5th, I beg to say that Chapter 410, Public Laws of 1899, is a correct copy as printed of the manuscript on hie in this office." Asheville, N. C, was the only city in the State to observe the holiday at the right time the first Thursday in September and not the first Monday as in other States. Hanover Seaside CInb Dance. Hanover Seaside Club closed its sea son last night on Carolina Beach with an enjoyable dance. The occasion was most propitious in every respect and those who were present spent a delight ful evening. The club has enjoyed a most successful season and the formal close proved a very appropriate finale. The House Committee, composed of Messrs. Henry Gieschen (chairman), C. F. W. Rehder and E. P. H. Strunck, are to be congratulated upon the ad mirable manner in which all the social affairs of the club have been con ducted this Summer. Woman Adjudged Insane. Tlttie Morgan, colored, was arrest ed by a policeman Thursday night for trying to break into one of the show windows at Rehder's store to get a hat which she fancied. It was seen at once that her mind was unbalanced and she was sent yesterday to the Clerk of the Superior Court for exami nation. She was adjudged insane, and as she is from Camden, S. C , Col. Jno. D Taylor wrote Governor Mc--8weeney, of South Carolina, as to what disposition is to be made of her. CInb's Closing Function. The Atlantic Yacht Club's closing frolic for the season at Wrightsville beach last night was attended by a full measure of success and a delightful evening was spent by a large number of pleasure seekers. About thirty-five couples participated and there was a large gathering of spectators, in both classes being many members of Caro lina Yacht Club, who were invited for the occasion. The music by Prof. Miller's band was fair. There will be no dance at the Seashore Hotel tonight LOCAL DOTS. The charter for the Holmes Grocery Company was received yester day from the Secretary of State. "The schooner Lillie, 311 tons, has sailed from the Barbadoes for this port to take a cargo of lumber. ' The roof to the county jail is undergoing slight repairs. Deputy Sheriff Rowan is in charge of the work. The men's meeting at the Y. M. C. A. at 5.30 o'clock to-morrow after noon will be conducted by Rev. L. B. Boney. Maj. D. O'Connor offers for rent the store now occupied by the Singer Sewing Machine Company on Market street; also, sixteen rooms over the store suitable for boarding house. Joseph Jainer, colored, was tried before Justice Fowler yesterday on the charge of abandonment, and was bound over to Criminal Court un der a $50 bond, which he failed to give and was committed. The heavy smoke which hung over the city last night was caused by the burning of the woods about four miles from Wilmington along the Sea coast railroad. The fire's greatest dam age was to the timber. The Southern Railway excur sion returned to the up country last night, after two days spent in Wil mington. Many of the excursionists visited Wrightsville Beach yesterday, while quite a number remained in the city. A deed was filed at the court house yesterday conveying from F. A. Davis and Cora vl. Davis to Amanda M. Holland, a tract of propsrty 33x110 feet, on Fifth between Grace andChes nut streets, for the consideration of $2,500. MAXTON'S NEW BANK. Model Institution Just Opened to the Pub- ' lie In Robeson County. ' From announcement made by the officers and stockholders of the new bank at Maxton, N. C, which began business September 1st with a capital stock of $30,000, the following facts are gleaned, which go to prove that it is probably the most model small in stitution of its kind in the State: The building in which the bank is located is of brick with steel ceiling, thus ren dering it comparatively fire proof. An excellent vault of vitrified brick and Portland cement, is accessible by three doors weighing 2,000 pounds. On the inside of this is another vault of steel, with burglar proof appliances. In ad dition, the bank carries burglar insur ance covering all funds with the Fi delity & Casualty Co , of New York. The by-laws provide that the presi dent, cashier or any active officer is ineligible to endorse for any one for credit to the bank or engage in specu lation of any kind ; and that no officer can pass upon any loan in which he is directly or indirectly interested. All active officers have given a large trust company surety bond (no per sonal bonds being allowed). Mr. W. J. Edwards is president and Mr. Thomas O. Evans cashier of the new bank. MEETS AT CHADBOURN. It Has Been Decided to Have Wilmington Presbytery Assemble There. The Fall meeting of Wilmington Presbytery which was appointed to have been held with Sweet Home church, Shallotte, Brunswick county, on September 27th at 8 P. M., has been postponed until October 3rd at the same hour, when the meeting will be held with the Chadbourn Presbyterian church. The change from Sweet Home church was for the reason that during this season of the year there is much sickness in lower Brunswick county and it would not only be a hardship upon the people there in the event of sickness to entertain the Presbytery but also the health of the delegates themselves would be endangered. Clinton was a candidate for the place of meeting, when it was decided to chanee the location, but the decision was in favor of Chadbourn. The place and date was originally set by the ses sion of the Presbytery at Faison, N. O , April 4lh. PRISONERS TRIED TO ESCAPE From the Connty Jail Tnarsday Night by Catting Their Way Out. Some of the prisoners in the county jail made an unsuccessful attempt to regain their freedom Thursday night by cutting their way out Early yes terday morning Jailor Millis found a pile of crumbled mortar in one corner and upon further investigation saw through it alL With a nail or file or some other instrument of that charac ter, all the mortar had been removed from between several bricks, but as the wall is eighteen inches thick, the undertaking proved too much for them. C. B. Freeman, of Bladen county, who is charged with murder, is in the jail with several other pris oners, but Jailor Millis doesn't think that he had a hand in the attempted escape. Fast Time by Compton. The steamer Compton, which arrived last night from Little River, S. C, shortly before 12 o'clock, accomplished the remarkable fast time of less than six hours from Little River, 8. C, a distance of 70 miles, having left Little River at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, made one stop and arrived here at the time mentioned. Capt Sanders now has a handsome and a fast boat and the public is shrowing its appreciation of the service by a liberal patronage. A. C. Ll IMPROVEMENT The Quadtico-Charleston Link of Railway to Be Put in 1 Fine Shape, j IN THE VAN OF PROGRESS. New Freight and Passenger . Engines and Most Improved Coaches Are Being Added to Its Lines-Will Excel If With Flying Machines. Special, to the News & Courier. Florences. C, Sept 6. The At lantic Coast Line Company is making wonderful improvements -in its prop erties fron Quantico to Charleston, Augusta and Columbia. 'Within the past year it has completed its entire main line tracks with 90 pound steel rails. It has built many new freight and passenger depots. and has made large additions to its officers' head quarters. The several shops have been consolidated and the capacity of those in service tripled. Thousands' of dol lars have been put in new machinery in the shops. The system has decided that the old, dilapidated, dusty coaches and the little old wood-burner eDgines, so long in service, must be rele gated or shipped away to some little one horse tram road or for saw mill purposes and be replaced by the up-to-date, modern and comfortable vestibuled coaches, hand somely upholstered, lighted by elec tricity and heated by steam. The great monster locomotive of to day will replace the tiny wood burners that have been pulling a "shoo fly" passenger and a dozen box cars on a freight traia. . . . An order has been placed with the Richmond Locomotive Works for ten of the largQ modern freight engines, duplicates of those purchased by this system last year of the Baldwin Loco motive Works, of Philadelphia. These engines are monster machines and are known as "copper heads" or "10 -wheel jacks." They are fitted with 194 26 inch cylinders, 63-inch driving wheels, an immense boiler and fire box and the latest improvements, such . as in jectors, valves, lubricators, etc. The tanks are of 4,000 gallon capacity and will carry water enough' to run an engine pulling a heayy train for fifty miles and coal enough to run one hun dred and fifty miles. Each of them is neatly and handsomely' painted and conveniently arranged for oiling and repairing. Six of these monster locomotives have already been delivered to the Coast Line at their shops here and will be used forjhauling freight trains be tween Charleston, Augusta, Florence and Richmond. ' In addition to these the Coast Line Company has purchased of the Bald win Locomotive Works, of Philadel phia, two more of the larger passenger engines known as "trailers," and two immense "pushers" for drilling on the yards. The two trailers are duplicates of those now in use between Florence and Rocky iMount, N. C; They will be used on the "New York and Au gusta Flyer" between Florence and Augusta, which route is expected to procure the; "fast mail" appropriation. The Southern Railway now has the "plum," but the Coast Line people say they will have that appropriation if they have to get "flying machines." As to the passenger service, the Coast Line people are now having built at their own shops in Wilmington and in the Pullman Works, at Pullman, 111., twenty beautiful vestibuled coaches, that will replace all the old "shacks" now in service on the main lines. These coaches are built and fitted with a view to the comfort of 1 passengers, vestibuled,' elegantly upholstered, lavatories, -lighted with electricity and heated by steam. They will be painted a dark olive green on the outside, trimmed and lettered in old gold, while the interior is beautifully fitted in antique oak. These cars will be used on the local "shoo flyers," as well as on the through trains. POLL FAVORS BRYAN. New Yerk Herald: For the pur pose of obtaining an indication of the trend of political sentiment in this city a poll was taken of the Herald com posing room yesterday.

Beck with and E.- Chambers Smith for a thorough organization in all the States. For North Carolina the plan is for all the White Supremacy clubs of 1896 to be re organized as Bryan, and Steven son clubs.; The dates fixed are Sep tember 14th (at night) for clubs in the towns and cities and September 15th (day or night) for clubs in the county precincts.

Borne mann Thursday, was bound over to the November term of Criminal Court under a $35 bond which was given. According to Justice Bornemann's testimony, Watson threw a chair at him and later threw a half brick which struck him in the groin. Watson tes tified that he thought Judge Borne mann bad been around his house eavesdropping, and confessed to hav ing thrown the chair and the brick. Married In Burgaw. Mr. John Williams and Miss Lizzie Bell, daughter of Mr. McL. Bell, were united in marriage yesterday at Bur gaw. Application for a marriage license was made here, but on account of an uncertainty as to whether the young lady was thirteen or fourteen years of age, the license could not bs procured at the time. The couple then decided to go to Burgaw and make a trial. The bride was really fourteen years old and their trip to Pender county yesterday proved suc cessful.
