DARING RECORD ENDED
ALABA'IV’S M<’ST NOTORIOUS
DESPERADO KILLED BY A
DEPUTY SHERIFF.
BUT HE WAS GAME TO THE LAST.
He Had B en in the Convict Mines
Twice an •II id E*caped nce»--A
Fric Had Hung Over His Head lor
a Long Time and Many Attempts had
Been v ade for Hi' Capture—lie Was
Finally K lled by a Deputy That he
Had Formerly Wounded.
Birmingham, Ala., March 22 —Jim
Morrison, the most notorious desperado
Alabama has produced since the j a my
days of Rube Burrows was killed yester
dav afternoon thirty miles from this city,
in the forks of Little and Big Warrior
rivers, by Deputy Sheriff Henry Cole.
Morrison has a record of deviltry and
daring, covering several years; has been
in the convict mines twice, the last time
breaking out and getting away after be
ing badly shot. A price has hung over
his head for a long time, and several in
effectual and one fatal attempt was made
to capture him.
On this attempt near Goetbite a posse
headed by Deputy Sheriff Dexter, of
Bibb county, got Morrison and a pal
named Davis in a close place and a des
perate duel resulted. Dexter was killed
and Davis wounded and captured.
Davis was with Morrison in the mines
and escaped with him. For a long time
Morrison had been living in disguise and
under cover, near the scene of his death
and Deputy Cole learning the exact loca
tion, determined, if possible, .to
capture him. With the assistance
of a Mr. Hubbard, Cole went to a
place where it was known Morrison
would come last night, and waited in
the woods for him. Morrison soon came
along and when thirty paces away was
ordered by Cole to ‘ Throw up your
hands.” Instead of doing this he "took
his Winchester from his shoulder, but
was not qu ck enough, Cole firing and
landing five buckshot in his body and
head from a double-barreled gun.
Morrison lived but a short time. He
was brought here to-day and identified
by two of nis brothers in jail under in
dictments and two other brothers.
HOW HE AIDED THE ROBBERY.
Pannill on Trial lor Helping: Rob the
Lynchburg Bunk.
Lynchburg, Va., March 22.—T0-day
in the United States District Court at
this place, Judge Paul presiding, R. H.
Pannill was put on trial charged with
aiding and abetting Walker G. Hamner.
ex-Cashier of the First National Bank
of Lynchburg, to rob that institution.
Hamner confessed his part of the
transaction a id was last week sentenced
to seven years imprisonment in the
Brooklyn penitentiary.
When HamniFs accounts were investi
gated there was found among them
$9,t00 of Pannell’s checks which Ham
ner had been earring as cash. These
cheeks were utterly worthless and Pan
till was arrested upon the charge of
collusion.
In the trial to-day it developed that
Pannill did a stupendous business at
siting checks through the bank with the
permission of Teller Hamner, but without
the sanction or knowledge of the other
bank officials. Frequently Panmll’s ac
count on the bank book would show a
balance to his credit, whereas in fact he
was at these various periods largely in
debted to the bank, his overdrafts being
concealed by the teller.
“It was also disclosed that Pannill
deposited some of these checks more
than eighty times in the course of three
or four months, and although a salaried
railroad clerk at seventy-five dollars per
month he did fifty seven thousand doi
Jars worth of fictitious business at the
bank during the month of January.
The attorneys for the defense are con
tending that Pannill was ignorant of
Hamner’s pilferings and was doing busi
ness in a legitimate way as he supposed
with the knowledge and consent of the
higher bank officials.
The testimony so adduced does not
tend to bear out this contention of the
defense. The case will last several days.
Cily Officer*lndicted ami Arrested.
Galveston, Tex., March 22.—A start
ling sensation was occasioned in this city
this afternoon when it became known
that the grand jury had found
bills against City Tax Collector
Thomas D. Gilbert and ex Audit >r R.H
Tiernan. The bills against Gilbert charge
misapplication of the city’s funds and
there are four counts against, him. Only
one indictment was found against Tier
nan, alleging alteration of his
books with intent, to defraud. Both were
arrested and gave bonds.

ORGANIZE A PEOPLES’ PARTY.
Its Platform will be an IIone»t Elec
tion and Fair Count.
Columbia, S. C m March 22.—For sere
ral years the effort to organize a Peoples
party m South Carolina has been con
fidently expected. A good deal of quiet
work has been done in the past few
years among real Populists, but they
have been biding their time.
Tomorrow Col. John J. Dargan, of
Sumter, an avowed Populist will make
the announcement that he will organize
the Peoples party as soon as the consti
tutional convention fight is over.
He says: ’The first end to be achieved
is a fiee ballot and an honest count. No
man is for the sake of any party, fac
tional or race triumph, willing to com
mit, or to encourage others to commit,
fraud or perjury, or resort to any elec
tion tricks of any kind, need expect
leadership in this party in this State—
not at least while I am above ground.”
MORE POLICE INDICTMENTS.

nary grand jury of the Oyer and Term
iner court came into court at 1:15 p. m.
and handed to Judge Ingraham a bunch
of indictments numbering, it is said,
eleven.
Nothing as to the nature of the in
dictments can be ascertained at this
juncture. There is a rumor that one of
the indictments is against Insnectcr Wil
liams but this is based upon the fact
that witnesses presumed to have evidence
against him have been before the grand
jury during the past week.
The grand jury informed the judge
that they had not yet finished their work
and asked to be allowed to retire, which
request the judge granted. At 1:30 p.
m. the grand jury adjourned until to
morrow.

Philadelphia, March 22. Ex-Con
gressman Richard Vaux died early this
morning from grip at his residence in
this city in the 89th year of his age. The
transition from life to death with him

ment at which the final dissolution took
place.

RALEIGH. N. C., SATURDAY. MARCH 23. 1895.
OUR FOREIGN AFFAIRS
CABINET MEETING YESTERDAY
DEVOTED MOSTLY TO THEIR
CONSIDERATION.
THURSTON IYIATTIIR POSTPONED.
But Official Advices Will be Received
in Regard to it Next Wednesday—
Spain Will Not Resist Our Demands
in the Alliancn Affair-She is Anxious,
on Account of Her Cuban Troubles
and HerCaliinet Crisis,to Kcniainou
Good Terms with the United Stales.
Washington, D. C., March 22.— The
Cabinet meeting to-day was devoted
mostly to a consideration of foreign af
fairs.
Secretary Gresham went over to the
White House early, with documents re
lating it is said to the Nicaraguan and
Venezuelan incidents.
The Thurston matter, it is understood,
will remain in abeyance until March
27th, when a steamer is due from Hono
lulu which will probably bring official
advices bearing on the subject of Mr.
Thurston’s recall.
It appears to be the beliet in the State
department circles that Spain is not dis
posed to make any decided stand against
the demands of this government in the
Allianca matter.
The situation in Cuba and the cabinet
crisis at Madrid are pointed to as rea
sons why the Spanish government is
anxious at this time to remain on good
terms with the United States, and it is
predicted that Spain will waive part of
what she believes to be her rights in the
questions at issue and meet this govern
ment half way. On the other band, it
is said that the Washington administra
tion is willing to pass by for the present
at least, any alleged utterancesjof Senor
Muruaga, the Spanish Minister, that
may be construed as uncomplimentary
to Secretary Gresham.
The meeting to day is said to have
been devoid of any definite results with
reference to the foreign situation in re
gard to Nicaragua and Venezuela mat
ters
The impression is given out that there
is little danger that Great Britain will
resort to harsh measures towards Nica
ragua.
THE NEW SPANISH MINISTRY.
Gen, Campos Wants the Offending
Journalists Tried by Court Martial.
Madrid, March 22.—Some days may
elapse before the new Spanish ministry
will be formed Meanwhile the Sagasta
ministry is stilLin office.
Gen. Mardnez Campos strongly favors
suspending the constitution and permit
ting the journalists who have attacked
the army and navy to lie tried by mili
tary court martial on the ground that
their offence is high treason, and ought
not,for that reason, to be brought before
the couris.
Just there the difficulty lies. If the
ministry should be formed on those lines
the consent of the chambers would be
necessary to suspend the constitution
and make special laws for the trial of
the offending journalises, iri these cir
cumstances the purpose of the new min
istry would be fully discussed and would
provoke sharp criticism trom such of the
deputies as are not favorable to so arbi
trary a proceeding
If the courts were not in session, it
would be comparatively easy to carry
out Gen. Campos’ views. When the new
ministry is formed Gen. Campos, it is
understood, will take the portfolio of
war rather than the premiership. He is
now the commander in chief of the Span
ish armies and the Governor General of
Madrid, and is more of a soldier than a
politician and he has the support of the
army and the full confidence of the
Queen.
Unable to Arrange a New Cabinet.
Madrid, March 22.—The Queen Re
gent received Honor Sagasta several times
to-day but was unable to arrange with
biru foi a new cabinet. She then sum
moned Canovas del Castillo.
HIS THOU RUES CRAZED HIM.
A Well-Know n Physician Shoots him
self Through the Heart.
Water bury, Conn., March 22. —Dr.
George C. Gay, 36 years old, a well
know a physician to day shot himself
through the heart on account, as be
lieved, of financial troubles.
He returned from New York early in
the afternoon, and tried to shoot him
self in his residence, but his wife
stopped him. He ran out to the tarn,
she following. The doctor aimed at his
temple, but she threw up his hands,
when he aimed at his heart and fired,
falling face downward in the hay.
After calling help his wife grabbed the
revolver and threatened to shoot persons
Hocking into the barn, but neighbors
took the pistol from her. She then
fainted.
A suit for debt was recently brought
against the doctor, and it is thought that
failure to raise the money caused de
spondency.
To Meet at Chick antauga.
Washington, I>. C., March 22.— Gen.
H. V. Boynton, Corresponding Secro
tary of the Society of the Army of the
Cumberland, has been authorized by
Gen. Rosecrans, President, to appoint
the next annual reunion of that Society
at Chickamauga, Ga., on September 18,
being the day before the dedication of
the National military park.
SALARIES FOR MEMBERS.
A Proposition to I’ny Members of Par
liament Passed by the Common- .
London, March 22. — William Allan,
Radical Commoner for Gateshead, moved
to-day in the House of Commons that the
members receive payment for their ser
vices. He reminded the House that a sim
ilar resolution passed in the session of
1893 with the government's approval,
although no subsequent action had been
taken. The country would not object,
he said, to the small additional taxation
necessary to cover members’ salaries.
Sir H. Stafford Northcote, Conserva
j tive for Exeter, offered an amendment
: to the effect that further burdens should
; not be imposed on the nation.
Sir William Hareourt, Chancellorof the
Exchequer, said the payment of mem
bers was the logical outcome of the ex
tension of the suffrage. The House was
now too much of one class. He repudi
ated the suggestion that the payment of
members would lead to corruption and
the election of unfit men. Democracy
might be trusted, he said, to prevent
such evils. The proposal was wise and
expedient and its execution would con
duce to the honor of the House. He
, promised to advance it in every way
| possible.
Mr. Gosehen opposed the motion. He
: was proud to be acquainted with the
! genuine labor members now in the
| House, he said, and he would welcome
j more, but the payment of members
j would lower the status of parliament
j and taint the purity of pnblie life with
j out increasing the number ot working
men in the Commons.
Sir H. Stafford Northcote’s amend
ment was lost and Mr. Allan's motion
i was passed by a vote of 176 to 158.

Vauxhan was sewing on her machine
this afternoon when a needle snapped
and a part of it stuck iri the table. She
put in a new needle and continued her
work.
About ten minutes latter she noticed
that her two year old daughter sat
rather quiet, on the floor and called to
her but received no answer. She picked
the child up aud found to her horror
that it was dead. A physician found
that the cause of death was a small part
of the needle had struck the eye and
penetrated the brain.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
THE IMPROVEMENT IN BUSI
NESS DAILY BECOMING MORE
MA RK ED.
THE RISE IN THE PRICE OF COTTON
The Volume of Domestic Trade is
Gainiuga Little and Money is in Much
lletter Demand—Treatened Sirike of
Coke Workers has Been Avoided aun
the Strike in Building Trades has
Ended hut Labor Troubles in Woollen
Factories Becoming More Frequent.
New York, March 22.—R. G. Dun A
Co’s weekly review of trade will say to
morrow: Indications of improvement in
business grow more distinct.
The most obtrusive of them, thespecu
lative advance in cotton and in stocks, is
the least reliable, nor can either of these
be said to reflect actual improvement in
business conditions.
Railroad earnings are scarcely better,
and the speculation is largely based on
expectation of mere effective monopoly
on coal and some other products. Lon
don was buying largely, but is as likely
to sell on any rise.
Cotton does not rise because there is
more demand for goods, but there is
more demand for goods because cotton
is dearer. More valuable indications are
that the volume of domestic trade gains
I a little; money is in much better legiti
j mate demand and the force of hands at
: work gradually increases in some indus
tries aud in others is restricted only by
strikes, which arepresumably temporary.
The threatened strike of coke workers
has been avoided by an advance of 15
percent, in wages, and the strike in
building trades here has ended, the men
returning to work
The rise in cotton to 6.31 c still seems
to have scarcely any contact with the
facts of demand and supply, but had a
: very substantial basis, nevertheless if,
! as some maintain, more cotton had been
i sold in this country for future delivery
than could be produced here until an
other crop comes.
American stocks were last Friday
1,345,028 bales, against 1,154,700 last
year, with the general expectation that
something over 700,000 bales wiil yet
come forward, while foreign stocks of
American are 670,000 bales greater than
at date after the great crop of 1891.
Receipts continue large, and the move-
I ment has really no other basis than be
fore; the next crop will be small.
The advance in wages of coke work
ers raises the cost of fuel for a large
propsrotion of the iron manufacturers,
but as yet does not all* ct prices of iron
or its products, as no increase in de
mand appears. Possibly it is hoped that
larger buying will soon be prompted by
the idea that pig and all products will be
rendered more costly, though the large
excess of production and producing ca
pacity stands in the way.
One sale of 10,000 tons steel rails, a
bridge and five building contractors ag
gregating nearly 5,000 tons, are reported
this week, but pig iron is weak without
change both at the East and at Pitts
burg. and no change of consequence is
noted in the demand for finished pro
ducts.
The rise in cotton has stimulated buy
ing of goods aud given confidence to
agents. Heavy transactions and some
advances in price appear in Southern
: coarse goods, but uot as yet in the finer.
S'rikes in textile mills grow more nu
merous, especially iu woolen mills, which
have orders enough to run full time, op
eratives apparently assuming that these
must be realizing profits, but margins
are so scanty that advance iu wages is
for most works impossible.
The volume of business through clear
ing houses gains a little, being 14.1 per
cent, larger than last year for the week,
but 22.1 per cent, less than in 1893.
Most of the increase is at New York, and
here and elsewhere partly due to active
speculation.
Bankers report a decided decrease iu
commercial paper offered, and Western
banks give evidence of larger demand
by reducing balances here. Failures
during the past week have been 278 in
the United States, against 244 last year,
and 35 iu Canada, against 50 last year.
Bradslreet’s Review.
New York, March 22.—Bradstreel’s
to-morrow will say:
Improvement in general trade is more
marked, but not generally. It is more
conspicuous at larger New England
points—notably Boston and Providence
—at New York, Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Louisville and other centers along the
Ohio river valley, to St. Louis, and as
far west as Kansas City.
Similar reports come from Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul, the first named
announcing that smaller quantities of
tour per cent, money are being offered,
the banks working steadily toward a tive
per cent, basis, demand lor loans con
tinuing to improve, and reserves being
lower than for a year past.
From other cities a feeling is reported,
based on the recently developed strength
in cotton, wheat and flour. The wide
spread prevalence of the inquiry whether
this upward movement is tne beginning
of a permanently recovery from the two
years of depression is of itself signifi
cant.
Wool remains unchanged, although
the volume of business is smaller because j
it is between seasons with dress goods j
mills, aud Australian wools are more
popular. No changes in quotations are !
noted for coffee, sugar or naval stores.
On the other hand cotton has jumped up
5 16d.
At Nashville, Memphis and Savannah
the week’s volume of business is reported
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
slightly in excess of a week ago, in
creased demand being noted in grocer
| ies, hardware, and agricultural iirrple
| ments. At no other prominent South
I ern cities are gains reported except at
i New Orleans, though trouble with the
dock freight handlers has resulted in a
loss of business. Charleston, Chatta
nooga, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Birming
ham and Galveston trade is of moderate
or fair volume, with collections slow.

SITUATION AT NEW ORLEANS.
The Committee W ill uo Longer Vote
Supplies lor the Militia.
Nf.w Orleans, March 22. — The gen
eral conference committee at their exec
utive session to day came to the conclu
sion not to vote further supplies for the
; maintenance of the militia now doing,
duty on the Levee. *»
The meeting was unanimous and tho
decision was arrived at without much
| doubt. It was the sense of the meeting
that the members of the commercial bod
-1 ies had done all they could be expected
j to do in the premises, but relied on Gov.
Foster being able to steer a clear course
j in. the difficulty.
The conclusions of the conference now
leave the entire matter in the hands of
the Governor. His Excellency’s move
ments will be watched with much anx
j iety by the public.
The general supposition is that Gov.
j Foster will advise with friends in the
matter, and endeavor in other ways to
1 raise the necessary means of sustaining
military protection.
No one believes for a moment that he
: will remove the soldiers until a settle
! ment has been made.
THREW LIME IN HIS FACE.
j The Impetuous Irishman Didu’t Like
that A. P. A. Flag.
Lowell, Mass, March 52. — Yesterday*
the children of Thomas Richardson, a.
section boss on the Boston and Maine
railroad, raised a white flag, inscribed
“A. P. A ,” in the yard of their resi
dence. This morning Patrick Conroy
threw* two haudsful of lirne into Rich
ardson’s face, saying “Now will you

Physicians think Richardson will lose
