BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
THIRD DAY;
Reports from Home Missionaries.
(Reported especially for the
News
Dy its own Keporte
Fayetteville, Nov.
3th, 1872. j
The most of to-day has
en sDent in
hearing reports from the fvarious mis
sionaries, and devising plans for increase
of church extension. I
The reports from thevarf)us mission
ary neids were very encouraging to tie
denomination, there having? been about
seven thousand additions tolthe church,
and a large gain over any rjreviou3 year
of contributions to the oblecis of the
Convention, making in tile aggregate
over fifteen thousand dollars'.
There are now left but "very few Bap
tist Associations in the State that are
not co-operating with the Convention.
Thi3 has been accomplished by the
Corresponding Secretary, Rev. Jas. D.
Hutham, and Mr. J. H. Mijlls, Editor ol
the Biblical Recorder, both of whom
have traveled in every section " qf the
State during the past year, Assisting and
directing in the conducting of Associ
ations, and laying the "objects -of the
Convention before the pcojle. I
There have been several new houses
of worship erected, and it is v thought,
under the direction of the Church Ex
tension Board many more will be com
pleted during the coming year. :
Shaw Collegiate Institute, for the
education of colored ministers, located
at Raleigh, was very highly compli
mented in remarks by Rev. W. A.
Weaver to-day. I '
The subject of endowment of Wake
Forest College has been taken up and
will be determined upon to-morrow. I

THE J. BBlffTOS' SMITH MYSTERY.
J'erdict of the Coroner Jury.
MRS. SMITH AND DAUGHTER
COMMITTED TO JAIL.
Application to he made for a Writ
of Habeas Corpus to Secnre Bail.
The decision of the Coroner's Jury in
the case of the Rev. Dr. J. Brinton Smith
published in yesterday's issue ol the
News, though unofficial, was in the
main correct. The verdict (official)
reads as follows :
"That the deceased, J. Brinton Smith,
came to his death on the morning of
the 1st day of October, 1872, -f Irom the
effects of strychnine mixed in a dose of
CQ1 fill f T nrmrAf,f nlminint-nan V. T H
seidlitz powder, administered by Fran
ces L. Maun, and that Marv E. Smith
was the custodian of a key of a closet in
which was found a vial of said poison
ous drug."
As many that read this article may be
unacquainted with the case as pievious-
ly stated, we will state that on the
morning of the 1st of October, Rev. Dr,
J. Brinton Smith. President of St. Au
gustine College of this citv. and an
Episcopal clergyman of high standing,

uDeratms nearly a day, in which many
;f0f J
witnesses were summoned and exam
ined was shown that Dr. Smith drank
a Seildlitz powder, prepared by his
daughter, Mrs. Francis L. Mann, and
the sugar used in sweetening the draught
was, taken from a closet by Mrs. Smith,
his wife: that a few minutes falter
drinking the powder. Dr. Smith was
taken with convulsions and died in 17
minutes. "Whereupon the jury ordered
that the stomach and brains of Dr.
Smith be taken by the Coroner to Phil
adelphia and examined by Dv Genth,
of that city, and the iury adjourn until
his report is received.
On Monday the Coroner called the
jury together and submitted the report
and professional opinion. The iury
were in secret session for several hours,
and at 7 o'clock Monday night agreed
upon the verdict as above. !
The Coroner yesterday issued his
warrant tor the arrest of'Mrs. Francis
L. Mann and Mrs. Mary E. StnithJ
and 5 o'clock, p.m., tbey were ar
rested by Sheriff Lee and committed to
the common jail of Wake county. The
ladies were brought to the jail in a close
carriage, attended only by Sheriff Lee
and Hon. K. P. Battle, their counsel.
The Sheriff, after "being admitted to the
parlor, informed the; ladies of the un
pleasant duty the law required him to
perforin, but instead of the scene that
he anticipated, the prisoners expressed
their willingness to submit to the ma
jesty of the law, exhibiting no unusual
feelings of horror or distress, but only
asked an hour for preparationwhich was
of course granted by the Sheriff. j
We learn that application will" be
made by defendants counsel for a writ
of Ilaboas Corpus for the release of the
prisoners. j
We would be glad to publish the ex
amination before the Coroner; in full,
and also the report of Dr., Genth in ex
tensoy but owing to its great length we"
cannot conveniently do so, and moreover
it does not contain morelhan the facts
herein briefly stated.! j j
While the entire community deeply
sympathize with the unfortunate ladies,
charged with the commission of this
terrible crime, yet the general sentiment
ia regard to the guilt of, the parties is
divided.tbe affair being the only topic ot
street conversation yesterday.
The high social position of Dr.
Smith and family in the community,
and the nnfortunate sequel of his sud
den death, necessarily creates a great
deal of excitement in the city. .

Meeting of Sympathy -with Bos
ton. Last evening at 7 o'clock a
highly respectable assemblage of our
citizens took' place at Metropolitan Hall,
to offer sympathy and aid to the suffer
ers by the Boston disaster. Many of
Raleigh's best people j were present,
among whom were three of our city
clergymen to-wit : Rev, Dr. Smedes,
Rev. ' Dr. Mason and Rev. Father
McNamara. On the stand with the
Chairman, Dr, Blacknall, were Governor
Caldwell and Mayor Whi taker. The
meeting being called to order, a series
of resolutions were read and adopted, of
which the following is a copy : i L
"We citizens of Raleigh, N, C, hav
ing heard of the great calamity which
has befallen the city of j Boston, by the
destruction by fire of many of its prin
cipal buildings, embracing a space of
eighty acres, aod property amounting
to two hundred millions of dollars, do
Resolve, That we offer; to the citizens
of Boston our heartful sympathies in
this their day of affliction.
Resolved further, That we keenly
sympathise with those persons of Bos-:
ton, who by this sad calamity have been
rendered destitute of the comforts of

life. J I .iU- f I :'
j Resolved, That a Committee of five be
appointed by the Chairman of this
meeting to solicit donations from our
citizens, which donations, wken col

fering, as an offering of friendship from
the city of Raleigh, v i ,hj
Resolved, That ourMayor be requested
to transmit to the Mayor of Boston a
copy of these resolutions, and that our
city papers publish the same. ; 1
Several gentlemen made speeches ex
piessive of sympathy with the sufferers.
Sheriff Lee gave a view of what the
losses and sufferings of those must be
who are thrown out of employment, and
out of their homes, and as Mr., Lee was
so long an inhabitant of Boston, none
could more faithfully portray the con
dition of these poor people. I Col. S. T.
Carrow gave reasons 'why 1 we should
sympathise with Boston, arid said that
in lbb, that city sent to Kaleigh the
sum of $7,000 io aid our citizens in the
sufferings of that year. The record of
this munificent donation can be seen at
the Raleigh National Batk.
Hereupon, Dr. Blacknall, the Chair
man, called on Rev. Fathtr McNamara,
as one who lived long in Boston, to give
the meeting some sentiment? in connec
tion with this occasion, (This Rev.
gentleman rose and delivered a speech
which was well received by all present.
Rev. Dr. Smedes was nest called, and
made some very kind and touching re
marks, wherein he expressed a hope that
our citizens would come 1 cenerouslv
forward at this call of charity. 1
A Committee was then appointed to
solicit donations among our people.
he following gentlemen compose this
Committee; ' -
Rev. Dr. Mason, Col. S. T. Carrow,

It is sincerely hoped that the citizens
of Raleigh who know when true charity
calls, and who have hearts: capable, of

Although the city is dark and gloomy,
there being no gas, large crowds hover
in the vicinity of the ruins.! ; ;

The streets now are perfectly quiet.
Two hundred and fifty mounted soldiers

One man i who attempted to
enter a
store on Winter street, and who refused
to leave after being j repeatedly ordered

arrested, and was shot by the guard.
Extensive lines of ; hose are stretched
all over the ruins and engines, are
stationed at almost every hydrant ready
at a moment's notice to be worked if
occasion should require. Points where
persons are known to be buried in the
ruins are being cooled with water pre
paratory to digging out thje corpses of
the victims. Immense piles of coal at the
Russia wharf, about 500 tons,are still on
fire. The city has granted the ; dry
goods merchants the privilege of using
the Commons for i the rlepository of

saved and to erect shanties ancl other
structures for temporary use. ; , );
Three men were discovered attempt

reaching Isle of Wight
when felie be-
came unman.igeble and
jdrifted prapklly
towards the French coast. As Cher
bourgh.camc in sight, the anxiety of the
officers became very1 great, and they
were unable to regain control over the
steamer's movements, and were in dan
ger of being driven on shore. When
within ten mins of Cherbourglv they
threw up rockets and made other sig
nals of distress, but they were not no
ticed on the shore. ' ' ; ; I'll
!; Fortunately the wind changed ' and
thelsteamer began to run before it down
thej channel. The steamer Ethel came
to her assistance and while trying to
give her, a tow ran into the boat which
had beeri1 launched by Helvetia. The
boat was1 cruhed. to pieces, and one
man . killed and ;: two i injured.; The

! i The Bostou Fire in London.
'.'Ii , .-' . ;;. London, Nov! 12. ;
All the London morning pap .rs ex
press the deepest sympathy for :he suf
ferers by the conflagration in: Boston
They attribute great disaster to bad
management of the j fire ; department,
police and municipal authorities of that
city.; The Standard says the Boston
fire; is. a scandalous' outrage on civiliza
tion aud an evidence of most inefficient
city Government. By way, of showing
superiority in cases like that othe Bos
ton fire of small arid well organ zed fire
department over a large, but badly
managed one, it compares the email
London fire brigade and the narrow
crooked streets and alleys of this city,
where fire seldom gets beyond t le buil
dings wherein they originate to the
thousands of undisciplined firemen, to
the huge granite structures anl; open
places in Boston." It say the best por
tioh of. tho city was destroyed for want
of good management to! prevent the
progress j of the fiames whibjh: were
finally stopped by gun powder,; land this
wretched business wasj entrusted to
volunteer citizens, ; instead of skilled
operators. It is believed here that the
amount of insurance in London com
panies upon the property! in the j burnt
district of Boston is two I millibns and
five hundred thousand dollars, j A Com
missioner is to be sent to; Boston by the
London conipanies, to make an investi
tion of the facts in . relation to the ori
gin and progress of the conflitgratiori,
