PECULIAR INSANITY CASE.
Young Man Unable to Overcome Madden,
"log Infatuation for Young Lady Is
Declared Insane.
Because be has a rather peculiar
and mad infatuation for - several
young ladies whom he has lately
met and insists upon imposing his
company upon them whether desired
or not, T. H. Bobbins, aged 35 years
and a sashmaker at the Fore & Foster
factory, was the principal in a rather
sensational investigation by a com
mission of lunacy in the office of Col.
Jno. D. Taylor yesterday afternoon.
The physicians in attendance were
Drs. D. W. Bulluck, Jos. C. Shepard
and O. D. Bell.
The proceedings grew outpf a dis
turbance which resulted from young
Bobbins approaching a young lady on
her return home from Grace Church
Sunday afternoon and insisting upon
accompanying her home, notwith
standing that she had company in the
person of her first cousin, Mr. James
Davis, and that the young lady was
not desirous of receiving attentions
from him. Bobbins insisted upon ac
companying the young lady and was
dealt a severe blow by Mr. Davis, who
had knowledge of Bobbins' persistency
in paying attention to the young lady
before.
The case originally came up , in the
police court yesterday morning and
Mayor Waddell sent the young man
over for the lunacy commission. He was
represented at the hearing by Marsden
Bellamy, Jr., Esq., and L. V. Grady,
Esq. appeared for the prosecution.
He was adjudged insane after hearing
a number of witnesses and the opinion
of the medical experts, who said that
he was perfectly conscious of wrong
doing but was powerless to prevent it.
Mr. Bellamy intimated that if there
was any further legal step to take to
save his client from the asylum, he
would do so as he is perfectly confi
dent that the young man is sane. He
has a brother and two sisters living in
the city and is regarded as one of the
most skillful and weil paid employes
at the sash factory.
Several years ago he is said to have
become so infatuated with a young
lady who scorned his attentions that
ne procured a marriage license, drove
to h,er home and demanded that she
marry him. The police interfered and
he had since dropped from public
notice until yesterday.
Tbe Brunswick Incendiaries.
A negro man named McMillan and
his wife have been arrested and jailed
at Southport on the charge, of setting
fire to the barn of Mr. A. B. Drew, the
Brunswick farmer, who has lately been
so harassed bzfirebugs. The negro
and his wife were detected and subse
quently identified by two of Mr. Drew's
daughters. A sensational preliminary
trial is expected, as it is conjectured
the negroes were influenced by more
prominent parties to commit the in
cendiarism. Car Shops Are Busy.
The Atlantic Coast Line shoos in
I Wilmington present a busy scene now
adays. Three . new vestibule dav
coaches, three new pattern express
cars and one hundred flat cars of max
imum capacity are among the recent
orders. The usual number of reeular
freight cars are also being turned out
of the shops here at the rate of one
ana a half a day.
The Cotton Season.
All the railroads entering Wilming
ton shared in the cotton receipts -vea-
terday, although they were not large
and reached only 271 bales, against
663 bales on the same dav last season.
The quotations remain unchanged on
I a basis of 8 cents for middling, against
10 cents on the same date last year.
A New Pay Car.
The old private coach of General
Manager John B. Kenly of the At-
1 a m -
lanuc uoast Lane, is being over
hauled and converted into a car for
the pay train, in the shops here. It
will be numbered "303," and wiH take
the place of the old pay car bearing
that number.

ANOTHER COURT OF INQUIRY
A Sensational Termination Serlons
Charges Against Col. Robt. L. Meade
of tbe U. S, Marine Corps.
By Telegraph to the Horning Btar.
Washington, September 11. The
longest court of inquiry in the history
of the navy, that held at the Brooklyn
navy yard 10 investigate trouble in
the marine corps, has come to a sensa
tional termination, bringing in
recommendation which may result in
very serious consequences for an
officer of high rank. Major C. H.
Lauchheimer and Colonel F. L. Denny
charged Colonel Bobert L Meade with
drunkennes on duty, while an inspec
tion was m progress at the Brooklyn
navy yard. Colonel f ceade replied by
charging Major Lauchheimer with
making a false report and Colonel
Denny with reporting against him
(Meade) in order to cover up irregu
larities with contractors on Denny's
part.
The court of inquiry acquitted
Major Liaucnheimer and Colonel Den
ny of Colonel Meade's charges. It
sustained tbe charge against Colone
Meade and in addition charged him
with violation of the naval regulations
in replying with a counter charge
when asked for a report, and also of
raise swearing on the witness stand
The court recommended that the col
onel be tried by court martial upon
tnese charges.
The court lasted four weeks, break
ing all naval records for-a court of in
quiry. In addition it was marked by
an extraordinary event in the fact that
on the 15th day of the trial Command
er west, a member of the court, was
challenged by Ma jor Lauchheimer and
required to withdraw from member
ship by his colleagues. Tbe reasons
for the challenge sent out by Major
Lauchheimer was that Commander
West was, by friendship for Colone!
Meade, unable to act impartially.

VESSELS IN COLLISION
Schooner Helen Q. Mosely Run Down and
Badly Damaged by a Steamer.
Bv Telegraph to the Horning Btar.
New York, Sept. 11. The coast
wise schooner Helen G. Mosely arriv
ed to-day from Fernandina with a full
cargo of lumber. She presented a dam
aged appearance coming into port,
having been in collision with the tter
man steamer ' Albano. bound from
this port for Newport News. Captain
Burch, of tbe mosely, said that the ac
cident occurred at 1:30 on the morning
of September 10th. . Tbe weather was
clear and the schooner's lights were
burning brightly when tbe steamer
came down on her, stove in her bow
and ripped her open down below the
water line. The bowsprit was cut out
of her, bringing down all the head
gear, and the foretopmast was broken
off above the foremast head and the
windlass was also broken. The steam
er stood by until daylieht. Captain
Burch asked the steamer for assistance
but the Albano steamed away to the
southward paying no further heed to
the schooner.
Bullfla-fctera Afraid of Cows.
It will probably not surprise our
readers to hear that most Spanish bull
fighters object to fighting cows. The
real reason may, however, astonish
them. A sportsmanlike objection to
persecuting a female animal has noth
ing, whatever to do with it The fact is
that -the average toreador is sincerely
afraid of a cow.
And he has good reason. The cows of
the half wild breed used for the arena
are much quicker in their movements
than are the bulls. Their horns are
more pointed' and more formidable.
They do not lower their heads to the
ground, shut their eyes and charge like
a locomotive upon the rails, but are
alert and ready to follow every move
ment of their persecutors. Their war
like tactics have been adapted not -to
blind, bovine frontal attacks, but to the
strategy of active and cunning beasts
of prey, of which the human bullfighter
is only a feeble mimic. If these cheap
idols of the Spanish populace would
face young and active wild cows which
had Just been robbed of their calves,
they might perhaps forestall the butch
er, but they would, at any rate, do
something to earn their laurels. Pear

Wadesboro, N. C, Sept. 11. The
Fall term of Anson. Superior Court,
with Judge Neal presiding, convened
on Monday. The cases of State vs.
Chas. Ellsworth and Geo. Traylor, the
alleged Morven safe crackers, is now
in progress. Three indictments are
pending against the defendants. The
evidence presented to this time traces
the defendants from. Clio, S. C, at
which place a safe was cracked, and
places them in Morven on the night
of the robbery at that place.
Two or three days will be consumed
in the trial of the cases. The prison
ers are well dressed and of handsome
appearance.
They are represented by Hon. Frank
I. Osborne, of Charlotte, and EL H.
McLendon, of Wadesboro. The State
is represented by Solictor Robinson,
Hon. Jas. A. Lockhart and Bennett &

Ellsworth and Traylor are thought to
have belonged to the band of "yeg
men" or semi-professional safe blow
ers who entered and robbed the Post
office at Red Springs, N. C, and the
Southern Express Company's office at
Raleigh, N. C, They were traced for
some time by Postoffice Inspector Jere
Connolly, of thisctty, who formed a
correct theory of the manipulations of
the robbers and gave an exposition in
the newspapers of their possible oper
ations in other sections of the State,
all of which came true. For some
time, it was sought to have the prison
ers transferred to Wilmington for safe
keeping, but the authorities at Wades
boro deemed the transfer unnecessary
and they were retained there.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Raging Last Night in Large Storage Ware,

By Telegraph to the Morning Btar.
New York, Sept 11. Fire late to
night in the Red Hood storage build
ing in Brooklyn, owned by the New
York 8torage Company, has already
done damage to the extent of $100,000
and property worth $150,000 more is
in danger of being destroyed before
the firemen master the flames. The
building is filled with cotton and this
may burn for hours. The structure is
divided by fire walls into three sec
tions, and at midnight the cotton in
one of these had been consumed or
ruined and it was feared the great
heat would overcome the strength of
the remaining walls. The ownership
of the cotton has not been ascertained
yet. Spontaneous combustion is given
as the cause of the fire.

varacity is unquestioned was telling
last week of a man in Alexander

circumstances which brought the
man's eating capacity to the test were
these: He was financially broke and
the owner of a load of melons wager

two days' work that he could not eat
the melon there and then. The hun

argue that he didn't weigh more after

EMMA GOLDMAN
ARRAIGNED IN COURT.
Remanded to Jail Without Bail to be Held
Until Friday, September 19tb,
for Examination.
By Telegraph to the Moraine Btar.
Chicago, September 11. Magistrate
Prindiville to-day decided that Emma
Goldman, tbe anarchistic lecturer un
der arrest here, should be held without -bail
until Friday, pending the decision
of similar cases in the Superior Court.
Miss Goldman appeared for a hear
ing before the magistrate during the
forenoon. She had not secured coun
sel, but in a determined voice declared
that she was ready to act as her own
attorney. The assistant city prosecutor,
however, obtained a continuance of
the hearing till September 19th, the
date set for the hearing of the other
anarchists in custody here. Mr. Owens,
the prosecutor, stated that the result
of an investigation at Buffalo was be
ing awaited.
The court postponed its decision in
the matter of,bail, which Miss Goldman
demanded the privilege oflfurnishinjj
until later in the day. While waiting.
Judge Chetlain, in the Superior Court'
neia ine otner anarcnists until Friday,
when, he said, he would hear argu
ments in the application for writs 01
habeas corpus. As the charge against
Miss Goldman, "conspiracy to murder
President McKinley," is the one lodged
against" the local anarchists, -who are
named as co-conspirators with Miss
Goldman, Magistrate Prindiville
thought it wise to await the decision of
the higher court. He said it would be
necessary for counsel .to apply for a
writ for Miss Goldman, as he would
deal, exactly with Miss Goldman ss
Judge Chetlain did with the other
prisoners.
- Miss Goldman appeared in court at
9.30 A. M. under escort of Matron
Keegan. She seemed surprised that
no lawyer was there to take up her
defence and glanced uneasily about tbo
room, full of uncouth prisoners and
curious spectators. She asked for
lawyers Saltiel and Brown, They
were not in court and Justice Prindi
ville said he would wait a reasonable
time for them to appear. Although -
me teiepnone was Kept Dusy, an nour.
elapsed and the lawyers were still ab-'
sent Chief of Detectives Colleran
men aemanoea mat tne hearing
should proceed. It took only a few
minutes and Miss Goldman was led
back to her room in the women's an
nex. She looked tired and nervous.
When Prosecutor Owens repeated thu
charge against her she flushed and
then smiled.
When the defendant was escorted
back to the court room Justice Prindi
ville said to her : "Your lawyers do
not seem to be inclined to come."
Miss Goldman "I learn that they
are very busy with the other cases, so
we will leave it. It does not matter.
I can take charge of the case myself."
Prosecutor Owens "I renew my
motion to continue the case antil the
19th and that she be held without
bail."
Miss Goldman demanded a hearing
and asked that she be admitted to bail.
The Court (to Mr. Owens) "Why
do you want a continuance?"
Owens "The absence of material
witnesses. I propose to show that
Emma Goldman conspired together
with the other nine defendants to as
sassinate President McKinley, and
until such time as we receive further
information from Buffalo I ask that
your honor continue the case until
the 19th, together with all the other
defendants. She is charged with con
spiracy to kill, and if President Mc-

before the fact and the principal, and
will be just as guilty as Czolgosz. It
-is a capital offence,, and I do not think
the offence is bailable under the cir
cumstances of tbe case."
The Court "Well, I will continue
it until the 19th. What have you to
say about the bail part of it, Miss
Goldman!"
Miss Goldman "I want to be put
under bail, as I asked, because I be
lieve the case is a trumped-up charge
and has no evidence whatsoever."
Owens "Your honor, all the other
defendants were committed without
bail, and if there is any guilt Emma
Goldman is the arch conspirator. She
is not entitled to any bail under the
circumstances."
After some further discussion the '
court continued the case and held the -question
of bail open until afternoon .
when bail was refused.
Other Anarchists.
Chicago, Sept. 11. Attorney Sal
tiel appeared before Judge Chetlain
just before noon to-day and asked per
mission to file a petition in habeas
corpus proceedings in behalf of the
Isaaks and other alleged anarchists
charged' with having conspired with -Czolgosz
for the murder of President
McKinley.
Emma Goldman was not named in
his petition.. Saltiel had failed to
notify Chief O'Neill, Sheriff Mager-
stadt and Justice Prindiville against
whom the writ was directed and
Judge Chetlain ordered him to do so
before proceedings could be taken.
Judge Chetlain decided to hold the
Isaaks and other anarchists without
bail until Friday when argument will
be heard on tbe habeas corpus pro
ceedings. OH EST EBB
