Woodward, who was bru talk horsewhipped here Thursday morning by A. S. Kelly, J. B. Latham W. J.- Crumpler and several others, returned to the city at noon. to-day for the purpose of establishing his innocence. He was accompanied by Judge V. R. Allen, of Goldsboro, and Mr. II. L. Stevens, of Warsaw, attorneys, and four friends from his home. There was a large crowd as sembled at the depot, and Mr. Wood ward was enthusiastically welcomed by his many friends here, who have believed him innocent from the very first. The assailants and the young lady, Miss Jane L. Burgess, had re tained able counsel. The lawyers of both sides got j together immediately after dinner, but a meeting was not arranged between Mis Burgess and Mr. Woodward until 7 o'clock; when they met at a lawyer's office.- The result "of this identification meeting was as expected the lady found she had made a terrible mistake, and ac knowledged it. She wrote the follow ing statement, wording it carefully, under counsel's advice, for it must be borne iu mind that she was placed in "the delicate position of having already identified Mr. Woodward as the man: "I was insulted upon the streets of Washington by a man who was a stranger to me. He approached me from behind, and spoke to me. I turned around ana saw him. ' I was, of course,,indignant and excited. At the depot next morning, when Mr. . Woodward was attacked. I had iden- twed him as the person who had ac costed me the day before, and I felt sure at the time that I was correct. .There was a large crowd present, arid the situation -and circumstances made me nervous and excited. This after noon I was brought face to face with C- Trr 1 1 1 -ur. wooawara, ana naa opportunity tO Mlmina Vo n. son carefully, while I was calm and collected. While he closely resembles the man who insulted" me, yet I do not feel I could swear to his identity. "Jane L. Burgess." ., Three of the assailants (there were eight arrested and tried before Mayor nauncey, and fined $5 each for dis orderly conduct), Messrs. Crumpler, Kelley and Latham, had the manhood to come forward after the final de nouement and implore pardon of Mr. Woodward, offering to make any re paration within their power for the irreparable wrongdone him. Mr. Woodward shook hands with them and forirave thm. Thev also, wrote And signed a statement for publica ; won, which follows: "We are relatives -and friends of Miss Janft- T.

Result of An Outrage On a White Woman' by a Negro Armed Negroes As v sembled to Prevent the Cap. v tore of the Ravlsher. -' ' ' By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Birmingham, Ala., J une 27. Three negroes are dead and ' one is not ex pected to live until morning, as a re sult of a riot between the white and negro miners at toe ore mines near Cardiff in Jefferson county. The two races came to a clash in the late afternoon in Glasgow -hollow, where the negroes had congregated. armed with Winchester rifles. A white man passing along the road was held up and besides being abused was roughly handled. This news soon spread and an armed body of white miners moved toward the hollow- It is supposed that they went around by a circuitous route in the mountains and came upon the negroes unex pectedly. Ed Ellis, the ringleader, armed with a rifle and Colt's revolver, fell at the first volley. A rifle bullet did the work. There was another volley and four of the other negroes fell. Jim Dill and Adam Samuels died in a few minutes. George Thomas was shot through the abdomen with a Winchester bullet. He is' not expec ted to recover. Rudolph Williams will live. The trouble started yesterday, when it was thought' that John Sheperd, who on last Wednesday afternoon as saulted Mrs. Monroe Jones near Co rona, was in that community. The negroes armed themselves to prevent his capture. Both sides. were aroused and only the timely arrival of a sheriff's posse prevented an outbreak. This morning the negro miners held a mass meeting and refused to go to work. They all belong to a secret or ganization known as the "Knights of Africa" or the "Mysterious Ten." They keep rifles and ammunition on hand at all times. It was in the afternoon that they gathered in Glasgoo hollow, although with what intention is not now known. Influential citizens say that the ring leaders are now out of the way and they hope to manage the other ne groes. Ed Ellis, the head of the band and holding the chief office in the se cret organization, made a speech to the negroes just before his death, tell ing them not to believe what the white officers had told them and swearing that he for one would get even with Sheriff O'Brien, who yesterday, at the point of a shot gun, ordered him to disperse his gang. Shortly after the riot Sheriff O'Brien left here with a hundred armed men. He now has the situation in hand for the time being, although late reports say the situation is extremely Critical, and that the negroes are talking of avenging the death of their leaders. Threatening Demonstration by Negroes. Sheriff O'Brien, who is now at Blossburg, has received a message from Adamsville, three miles from that place, asking for protection. An armed body of negroes is gathered in the mountains, threatening to make a descent upon the mining camp in the valley. He has dispatched all the deputies he could spare across the country. A telegram has just been re ceived here (Birmingham), asking for reinforcements of soldiers. Proposition from Gov.

The weekly crop bulletin ssued by the Weather Bureau to-day says: - "Over much the greater part of the country the weather conditions of the week ending June 26th were highly favorable, particularly in the middle Atlantic States, Central Valleys, and on the Northern Pacific coast. Local storms, however, have caused damage in portions of the lase regions ana Ohio valley, while drought continues in portions of New England and the South and Gulf States, and in central Tennessee. "Except over portions of Southern Texks.. Louisiana and Mississippi where cotton more particularly the late planted is suffering for rain, -this staple has made favorable progress, although reported small in Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia. As a whole the crop is well cultivated and is grow ing well. In Louisiana cotton that came up after the drought is reported dying. " - "Insects are causing injury to tobacco in South Carolina, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee and the crop continues to suffer from drought in the last named States. Elsewhere the reports respecting tobacco are favorable, ex cept in Virginia, where the stands are poor. Tobacco is being housed in South Carolina and Texas.

Washington. June 28. At the stance of Adjutant Corbin, Quarter master . General Ludington recently instituted an investigation of the pub lished report that the government was neglecting the graves of the Confed erate dead in the national cemetery at Arlington. The report of Major T. E. True, the depot quartermaster, who has charge of the Arlington cemetery, has just been filed at the War Depart ment. "There are," says Major True, "136 Confederate soldiers and civilian State, prisoners new interred at Arlington National cemetery. '- Of this number, 126 are known and ten are unknown. These dead are , buried with other honorable dead in the cemetery ; their graves are known and recorded, are marked with head-stones very similar to those marking the graves of Union soldiers; bearing the name, but not the regiment, company or State, as in the case of Union soldiers; are well sodded and cared for, according to regulations, precisely as the graves of all the other dead in that cemetery are cared for. In short, the Confederates are honorably interred and honorably cared for. It is hardly probable that they would be so well cared for in any other than a national cemetery.1' Active Operations to be Resumed When the Rainy Season Closes Spaniards - Leaving Manila A Small En : gsgement With Insurgents.

The Filipinos, in firing a final volley, killed a cavalry private. More Soldiers for Otis. Washington, June 28 -Secretary Alger, Adjutant General Corbin -and OelonelBird, assistant quartermaster general in charge of transportation, had and hour's consultation with the President to-day relative to the ques tion of reinforcements for General Otis. A definite decision has been reached to continue recruiting men at all the recruiting stations for service in the Philippines, and Secretary Alger said when he. left the White House, after the conference, that General Otis would have forty thousand men when the rainy season closed for a resump tion of active operations. There are seventy recruiting stations in the United States and enlistments are to be taken at all of these stations. The enlistments are to be for service in the regular army, and recruits are to be organized into regiments or as signed to regiments already formed after enlistment. No organizations, as such, are to be accepted, if suffi cient recruits can be obtained by j re gular enlistment. ; Enlistments for: Three Years. - . i - " . General Corbin said the enlistments would be for three rears, although the law for the creation of the provisional army of 35,000 in excess of the regular army of 65,000 "provides only for such a force until 1901. " Arrangements are to be made at once for increasing the transportation necessary to get these additional troops to the Philippines. The decision to reinforce General Otis by the end of the rainy season is interpreted to mean that aggressive campaigning will cease until the bad weather ends. Until that time our operations will probably be confined to occasional excursions to places in close vicinity to our lines where the insurgents, may have congregated in force. By remaining quiescent under good shelter during the rainy season, it is hoped the health of our troops will be conserved ; and, the danger from climatic fevers reduced to a minimum. ; 4 The Volunteer Troops. General Otis has cabled the War Department that he has skeleton organizations - of two or three regi ments which it is proposed to raise in the Philippines. At the War Depart ment this is said to mean that General Otis has the officers for these regiments selected and they are ready to be filled with enlisted meni - How many of these can be secured from the volun teer regiments now in the Philippines is not known. It is stated at the War Department that the! recruits now be ing enlisted at the rate of 1,000 a week cannot be used for the volunteer army provided for in the act of March 2, au thorizing 35,000 men, although it would be an easy matter to transfer these men with their own consent to the volunteer service if it should be determined to raise additional troops.

She was ar rested on the charge of murder. Her family is well connected. . -Richmond, June 28.

Griggs, attorney general of the United States, received the hon orary degree of 'LL. D., and Admiral Francis M. Bunce, U. S. N-. (retired), Hartford, Conn., and Captain W. C Wise, U. S. N., Norfolk, Va., received the degree of M. A. " Cambridge, MASS.i June 28. Among the honorary degrees conferred to, day by Harvard University were, those of Doctor of Laws upon Jules Cambon, French ambassador to the United States ; General Leonard Weod, United States Army,miUtary governor of San tiago, Cuba; Rear Admiral W. T. Sampson, United States Navvy and Arthur T. HadTeyT president-elect of Yale University. - ThA-Rstnarolina Real Estate Agency is prepared to give prompt and efficient service to all persons wishing to sell favma rT tnvrn -nrooertv. - Address R. G. Grady & Co., Burgaw, .N. C. t Later in the day it was definitely de cided to begin the enlistment . for the first volunteer service under the act of the last Congress. The - reports to the adjutant general based on the reports of the recruiting officers and on close estimates as to the number of soldiers in the Philippines.- and in each com mand in Cuba and Porto Rico show, that the regular army is up to its full authorized strength. The additional soldiers needed must be obtained under that section of the act of Congress authorizing the enlist ment of volunteers, j The only excep tion will be in the case of the few en listments that will be made from time to time to fill gaps m the regular army caused by casualties and by the expiration of enlistments. The offi cers scattered among " the principal cities of the country who have been enlisting regulars only, will be im mediately instructed to prepare to en list volunteers. The present indica tions are that about 10,000 Men" WiU Be Wanted. . Volunteers will not be accepted m organizations. Secretary Alger is de termined to adhere to the rule. Look ing over the act of Congress, he has concluded that ' the authoriza tion to raise these volunteer troops "at large," indicates a purpose on the , part of Congress to follow out the . plan successfully operated in the case of . the immune regiments. It is the present purpose to disregard State and local lines in securing the recruits ana weiaing them into organizations. Thus the regiments cannot be kmwn by State names, but simply under the designa tion of first, second, third, etc., volun teer United States infantry, or cavalry. No difficulty is anticipated in securing the men needed, for it is believed that the 1.000 men who are weekly offer ing themselves at the recruiting offices, will be even more willing to enter the army as two-year volunteers than as long term regulars, t - For officers for these volunteer regi ments the War Department intends to fill the commands in the first place by promoting officers now in the regular army: wno give .promise oi buuwiuk ability as organizers and managers of the raw "recruits, and in the second place by commissioning many of the Young Woman Killed by Her Paramour t Foster, Rhode Island. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Providence, R. L, June 28. Sadie B. Matthewson, 27 years old, was mur dered by her alleged paramour, Samuel R. Owens, 57 years old, at Foster, RL, yesterday. It is claimed that both were drunk and that Owens drove the woman into the yard, knocked her down and split her head open with an axe, stabbed her twice in the breast with a carving-knife, and then, pouring kerosene oil over her, set her on fire while she was still breathing. Her body was burned to a crisp. Owens was arrested. Why were 25,000 BOTTLES OF ROB ERTS' TASTELESS 25c. CHILL TONIC sold the first year of Its birth ?

By Telegraph to the Mornlnn Star. New York, June 28. Traders in cotton futures were naturally inclined to go slow in anticipation of the holi days, so near at hand, . and to-day's market was a narrow one, even the more active positions ;working within a range of eight points. The market was steady at 5ne-to two points ad vance ; early cables giving considera ble confidence, especially as to the ex cellent showing in 'the way of spot business at Liverpool, with prices indi cating a good foreign demand lor ac tual cotton, wanted for iarge orders ex tending well into the future for cloths and yarns. Soon after the call, how ever, the market weakened under late cables which indicated. a disposition to liquidate Jong interest in the Liverpool market under the bearish influence of fine crop prospects in this country, jt rices aecipieu iuur w eight points from the best figures obtained on the call, but the bear con tingent was not aggressive, the short interesrteing already extensive at low prices, while the possibility of a serious ohange in the crop outlook at this critical season was recognized. Bene-, ficial rains, were reported for Northern Texas and central sections of the cot ton belt with the temperature normal and favorable to a rapid and substan tial development of tne crop. On this account sentiment on 'Change was cautiously bearish. The market closed barely' steady, three i to six points lower. - '; : J .: - New York,1. June 28. Cotton quiet; middling uplands 6 l-16c.
