Speaker Cannon warns the Re publican managers that the Demo crats are making rapid gains in the middle West. The Saratoga, N.

In this election the people of . the United States will have an opportu nity to vote, against a "stand pat" protective policy that takes from the People and gives to the trusts, which, tnrn, use their protection to favor their foreign customers with lower prices than they give to their home customers.

The alarm of fire from box 53 early Sunday afternoon was on ac count of a small blaze caused by sparks from the chimney at the residence, of Mr. A. 8. Winstead, 107 North Eighth street. The damage was slight. Mr. W. 0. Jones, formerly of Wilmington, but now with headquar ters at Greensboro, is here and will be at The Orton several days.

Tnere was nothing wrong, however, about his admiration for the climate of Wil mington. The Florence Times says that for the past few weeks the transporta tion business of the A. O.

Committed to Jail Without Bond-Evl. dence, However, Only ef Stream stsntlsl Natare Polics vMsde Arrests Yesterday. As tbe result of an investigation of the circumstances of the death of the negro, Samuel Carver, Jr., who was shot to death in front of the Marine Hospital Saturday midnight, the in quiry having been instituted by Coro- ner Bell aoon after the murder, and concluded by the jury of inquest late yesterday afternoon, Chas. Herring and A. R. ("Repv) Herring, young white carpenters employed in the Coast Line shops, sons of Mr. Tom Herring, an estimable man who lives on the south-side of Red Cross, next to its southwest intersection with Second street, and Jordan Jones, a young electrician, who says he Is a native of Loulsburg, N. 0., and came here about a week ago from Charlotte, are In jail without the privilege of bond, charged with Implication in the deed, which appears - to have been cold blooded murder. The evidence against the young men, however, la only cir cumstantial and several who heard the testimony before the coroner's jury, while concurring in the verdict based only upon probable cause, expressed the opinion that the higher court would never convict All three of tbe defendants admitted having been in the vicinity of the commission of ther crime about midnight, but said they went straight home, young Jones bsing a boarder at the house of Mr. Herring on Bed Cross street. The story of the movements of each of the trio after they left Eighth and Castle streets about midnight, however, is slightly at variance and evidence was Introduced to show that they returned to Eighth and Castle streets after the crime was committed in face of their denial of that fact. Etch of the defendants made sepa rate voluntary statements of their movements to the coroner's jury yes terday afternoon. Chas. Herring dis played no sign of uneasiness on the stand. His brother was somewhat agitated and Jones was very nervous. Each of them presented a neat appear ance and talked very intelligently. Jones said he bad only yesterday se cured work with Mr. J. O. Brock, the well known electrical contractor. He was arrested yesterday about noon at the Herring house; one of the Her rings was arrested at the Coast Line shops at the dinner hour and the oth er was taken into custody at the box factory on the site of the old tobacco warehouse. The arrests were by Police Sergeant O. W. Woolard, Policemen ,0. E. Wood and J. R. Hardee. Chief Furlong did not wait for the verdict of the jury of inquest, but made the arrests on the strength of the private investi gation by the police. The prisoners, however, upon the verdict of the jury, were turned over to Coroner Bell and committed to jail at once without bond. It is hardly expected that the cases will come up for trial at the present term of court, but thev will certainly be reached at the term three weeks hence. The iurv emnannelled by Dr. Bell consisted of Mr. J. C. Walton, fore man; Mr. Jno. F. Garrell, Jr., secre tary, and Messrs. D. 8. Bender, A. 8. King, John W. Cappa and R. L. Rouse. The first session of the jury was held Bunday afternoon and the concluding one yesterday afternoon, the result of an autopsy by Dr. W. D. McMillan, superintendent of health, having been submitted at the latter hearing. The verdict of the jury was as follows: - We the undersigned coroner's jury dnlv summoned and sworn by Dr. O. D. Bell, coroner of New Hanover nnnntv. after hearlnz the evidence and considering all other circumstances in innnaetion with the death of Sam nrvAi Jr.. do find that the said Car ver came to his death as the result of a pistol shot wound and that the evi dence adduced at the Inquest is suffi- i.iAnttohold Chas. Herring, A. R. Herriner and Jordan Jones to await further investigation by the grand jury of New Hanover county, N. U The circumstances of the killing were told in Bunday's paper. The Herring boys and Jordan bad spent the night at Southerland's bar, near tbe scene of the shooting, and had left there in a somewhat intoxicated con dition about closing time and a few minutes before the killing. Jones wore a black slouch hat and square-cut coat; which one of the witnesses said was worn by one of the pursuers of the neirro. Carver was a blacksmith em ployed at Whitlock's machine shops, a negro of powerful physique but very aulet and deferential to white people. The result of the autopsy showed that ha vd hftan badlv beaten about the face and hands before he ran. Testimony of Witnesses. inATh Rick, watchman at the nfsvinn TTnanital and the only eye witness to tbe shooting, testified that he was standing at the gate to the hospital grounds and heard some men miilliii0 at Eichth and Church streets. Presently he saw three men pursuing the negro down Eightn street toward Nun. As they came opposite the hospital, one of them .vTontud . "Give it to him." Then the witness saw the flash of a pistol, heard the report and saw the man witnnnc ronldn't tell whether the men were white or colored. After the shooting, the pursuers ran on to wards Nun street and turned the cor riaii toward Seventh street. ; Witness afterwards heard one of them whistle. In a few minutes three men came from towards Ann street to where WILMINGTON, N. O;; TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 27, the man was ! foun. They weie singing and seemed r to . beujjrtoxl cated. ' They looked ar the - dead man and one of them fainted, It was aiterwards shown that the last three men referred to were Herbert Wil liams, Randall Craig and "Bud" Lan der, who had no connection with the affair, having been with Policeman Farrow andMlnshew at Eighth andCas tle Sts., when the shooting occurred. Policeman J. R. Mlnshew was at Eighth and Castle streets; heard the pistol shot; had seen three men walk off from Sutherland's and go in the di rection of Nun street, about five min utes before that time. Tbe officer didn't know any of them. John Odom was standing with the witness, Jfoltceman J. is. Farrow was also at Eighth and Castle streets and his tes timony was the same as that of Mr. Minshaw. He saw Williams, Craig and Lander coming up - Castle street from towards Ninth. He saw the three other men leave the saloon at Eighth and Castle streets. Prlscilla Barge and Ben Baree. esl- ored. who lived around the- corner from Eighth and Nnn. streets, heard tbe pistol shots ind saw two men run ning up an alley leading from Church to Nun street; a third man ran on the north side of the street toward Sev enth and turning toward Ann -street. Later they saw the same three men running from toward Seventh street. The one that went to ward Seventh street whistled and had a handkerchief to his face, blow ing as if he had been running. That man Had on a black hat and square cut coat. They were sure he was a white, man.. Ben Barge went back home to get on his clothes, and on re turning saw three men going toward the man that was shot. Witness thought that one of these men was the one who ran by his house and af terwards whistled. Chas. T. Herring, one of the defend ants, said he left down town ana went to Southerland's bar at corner of Eigth and Castle streets; had a bottle of beer with : a Mr. Breckenridge. Then with his brother and Jordan Jones, they, went down Eighth street to Church; then down Church to Sev enth; down Seventh to Market street. He didn't return to Eighth and Castle streets any more that night; didn't see uaom and Johnson who were later cut there. Knew nothing of the mat ter until Monday morning, when he heard it talked i in the shops. Oa the way home the three stopped at Madge Lambeth's and not being able to get In they left. . A. K. Herring, brother of Chas. Herring and another of the defendants. said that the three left Boutherland's store when it closed at 12 o'clock; went to Madge Lambeth's, on Eighth near Castle street; couldn't get in and went from there to Church street. down Church street to Seventh and Chesnut. There they met Mr. Charlie Clowe and another man and spoke. The witness heard no pistol fire. Was not positive whether he went to Gus sle Grier's or not. They 'didn't return to Boutherland's store that night. Jordan Jones, the third defendant, said, with tbe Herrings, they left Eighth and Castle about 12 o'clock and went from there to Gussie Grier's, but couldn't get in: went to other houses and also couldn't get In. He was a stranger and knew nothing of the names of the streets. He had been to Gusiie Grier's and was certain there was where they went straight from Southerlaud'a store. They had been drinking but were not drunk. He heard the nistol shot. D. IS. Costln, clerk in Boutherland s bsr, waited on three strange men Sat urdav night acd one of them got to scuffling with Eugene Harris. Wit ness separated them and told them to be quiet in the store. Justice Bornemann was also present and he testified that he commanded the peace. The men left the store about 12 o'clock and he didn't see them again until the patrol wagon came up to get Odom and Johnson, who were cut near Eighth and Castle streets a short time after tbe murder. Then the same three men came up in the crowd. He didn't know them personally, but Identified them while in the police station as tbe defendants charged. Eugene Harris corroborated Mr. Costin and Justice Bornemann as to the scuffle in the store and said the Herrings and Jones went down Eighth towards uhurch street. The Mayor en Hobby Horses "The hobby horses are a prolific source of disorder," observed Major Springer upon the completion of the police court ; docket yesterday. Sev eral Instances were cited where breaches of ! the peace had resulted from crowds congregating around the festive amusement whirl being oper ated by Mr.! J. K. Hefiinon Qaeen, between Seventh and Eighth streets. and peremptory orders were Issued to Chief Furlong to silence the music and cease the operation of the tiding gallery at once. Assistant City Clerk and Treasurer White was called Into the court room from the office adjoin insr. and it was ascertained that tbe "hobbies" bad paid no license tax for several days. The arrest of Mr. Hef lin later in the day for non-payment of licenss tax resulted, and Chief Far long gave orders that' the gtKery must cease Eonerations. The case of Mr. Heflin will be called in the police court to day Ipeskiof at Sontbport. Hon. R. N. Hackett, of Wilkesboro, one of tbe leadiee Democrats in the West, is a guest t The Orton.
