Capt. Fisher has a wife, a son, aud a
daughter, who are greatly distressed at
his dea»h.

partmeut are ready for him. It is now

duty on Thursday.
Congressman Bower and wife are at
the National Hotel. David Bower still
sleeps with one eye open and seems glad
to return to Washington. They will
leave to morrow or Thursday for Lenoir.
It was thought np to to day that quite
a number of postoffiees in North Carolina
which at the present time are not money
order offices, would be given that privi
lege. It has, however, been found that
this would neceseitate new bonds to be
given by a number of postmasters who
even ha I trouble in getting up the bonds
which they have previously given.
An order ha'* Wen issued which makes
the route No 18910 from Lineolnton to
Hickory supply Crimsic six times a week.
Winthrop and Merrimon have b«en
given a >pecial star service from New
beru. The.-e places are supplied six times
a week.

eigh, left to night byway of the boat for
their home, accompanied by Mr-. Bur

Mrs. Burwell has been here for some
weeks aud is much improved.
Hon. Kerr Oraige, Third Assistant
Postmaster General, was busy to-day
signing collection drafts for the postof
fices in North Carolina. Each office
sends its rec> ipts to some larg» r office
until it is ail collected in some very im
portant office, and from here it is piid
out as directed by the orders of Mr.
Craige.
The Marine Band, fifty strong, under
the direction ot Fauciulli, has left mi its
Southern tour. This is the finest band
in the country, and the people of North
Carolina will three chances to hear
these accomplished musicians. They
will give concerts in Greensboro, Raleigh
and Wilmington.
The management of Georgetown U Di
versity baseball team have been trying
to arrange a date with the University of
.North Carolina for a match game here
in May It would hardly be expected
that Georgetown should desire another
drubbing like the Tar Heel foot ball
team gave them last fall.

THE ALABAMA WHITE CATS.
Their Case Taken up Yesterday in the
United States Supreme Court.
Washington, D. C., March 26 —The
noted white cap cases from Alabama
were under argument in the Supreme
Court to day after the Debs et. al. ha
beas corpus case had been taken under
consideration.
Rather an unusual condition of things
was presented in the record and by the
briefs filed. Wiley and William Pruett
were taken from their beds on the night
of March 4th, 1693, by a party of about
20 men, and severely whipped, each re
reiving about 75 lashes with large sticks
“until.” as the record says, “they were
I>l >ody from their shoulders to tbeir
knees, their backs being lacerated in
many places, the skin being cut in gash
es six or eight inches long.”
The night was inclement and aside
from the whipping, the Pruetts suffered
greatly from exposure. For this assault
J. W. Todd and twenty six others were
indicted in the United States court for
the northern district of Alabama, under
section 5406 (K. S), the indictment
charging that they “did combine, con
spire, and confederate together by force,
intimidation and threats, to injure Wiley
Pruett, who had therefore been witnesses,
and testified against Joe Arnold, Mil
ion Farmer and George Kelly upon
a charge of endeavoring to
intimidate, and impede witnesses iu a
court of the United States, in violation
•if the criminal laws of the United
States, tried preliminarily by and before
Robert Charlson, acting as a commis
>i oner of the Circuit Court of the United
States for said district in their person
and property on account of said witnes
ses above named having testified in said
cause in said court as aforesaid, and in
pursuance of such conspiracy, did beat
the Pruetts as stated.
On the trial of the cause, Todd and
thirteen others were convicted and sen
tenced to four years imprisonment each
and the payment of a fine of SSOO From
this judgment they appealed to the U. 8.
Supreme Court, being admitted to bail
pending the decision upon appeal.
The defense was that the indicted
parties were not guilty of inflicting
the whipping, and that if they
were, it was administered not
because the Pruetts had been witnesses
in a United States court against their
neigh hors, but because they deserved it
oa general f rinciples. The was ar
gued for the defendants by John C. Fay,
and for the goverment by Assistant At
torney General Whitney.
In concluding his brief the latter ap
parently conceded that the judgment of
conviction could only be maintained
with any assurance of certainty against
three of the defendants.

and the South African bush man, down
to the negro as he is in this country.
“Another interesting series of ethno
logical representations will be figures of
the Aboriginal Indians of the trib- s that
once roamed through the hills and for
ests of the South as the Cherokees, C’hick
asaws, Creeks, etc.
“Further on the right will be the ex
hibit of the patent office illustrating the
wonderful triumphs of American genius.

FOOTBALL PLAYER UE \ D.
He Received the Injuries Which Re
sulted in his Death Last November.
Washington, March 26. —Geo. D
Baheu, the football player of the George
town University of Washing who was
injured last Thanksgiving Day in a game
between the University and the Columbia
Athletic Club, died shortly before noou
to day at the Emergency Hospital, this
city, where he has been receiving medi
cal attendance since the accident.
Mr Bahen was born in Richmond,
where his parents reside. His father
and mother were at his bedside when he
died.
It was in the game between elevens
from the Georgetown University and the
Columbia Athletic Club on Thanksgiv
ing Day, November 29, last that young
Bahen received the injuries which re
sulted in his death. The play through
out was eharacteistic of rough and harsh
exchanges, and a number of men on
both sides were more or less injured and
bruised.
Young Bahen was plajing half back
for Georgetown, and he met with his
mishap in the middle of the first half.
Bahen’s play was to interfere with Lcet,
while Mahoney had the ball, aud this he
was doing to perfection. Bahen made a
rush and received a blow from a Colum
bia adherent which felled him to the
ground. Before he could recover and
regain his feet he was trampled upon by
the excited players and received the full
force of numerous kicks.
In the struggle Mahoney had an ankle
sprained, but be stuck manfully to his
post and was laid up for several days
afterwards. Bahen was carried from the
field to the University, whence he was
afterward removed to the Emergency
Hospital. On examination it was found
that the fourth vertebra was shattered
and as a result the entire body below
that joint became paralyzed. There
were several bruises on several parts of
his body, and his scalp was torn in
several places.
After being in the hospital for some
days the operation laminectomy was
performed with such success that the
paralysis was partly removed. Ever
since that memorable Thanksgiving the
student has been bedridden, but he with
stood his position with commendable
fortitude.# His splendid physical condi
tion served to prolong his life, but he
slowly faded away.
Everything that medical science could
suggest had been done for him up to the
very last, and together with the kind
offices of a loving mother, an indulgent
father and attentive nurses, the de
clining days of the unfortunate young
man were made as comfortable as the
circumstances would permit.
Deputy Coroner Glassback called at
the hospital as soon as the death was re
ported to him. The inquest will proba
bly be held to morrow.
ORANGE GROWING IN .f ‘ MAICA.
Fruit Raisers i** Florida Discouraged
by the Recent Cold Wave.
Washington, D. C.. March 26 —Our
Consul at Kingston, Jamaica, in a re
port to the State Department quotes
Governor Blake, of Jamaica, in his an
uual message as saying that he has re
ceived applications from Florida for in
formation as to the prospects of orange
growing in Jamaica. They come from
persons whose groves have been ruined
by the severe Lost, and who realize the
precarious nature of the fruit industry in
Florida on account of the periodical
cold waves from which it has suffered.
The Governor speaks of the excellence
of the Jama : ca orange, grown without
cultivation or care, and says that it is
evident that Jamaica could, with system
atic cultivation, produce enormous
crops of oraDges, lemons, grapefruit and
.shaddock equal in qualify to that of any
fruit in the American or European
markets.
*i. lie will welcome the introduction of a
regular cultivation that ought to be as
valuable and as stable as the cultivation
of sugar aud bananas, and ha-t directed
full information to be prepared aud for
warded to the parties iu Florida who
have asked information on the subject.

ral Meade’s Squadron.
Washington, March 26.—The cruiser
Kaleigh re-joined the Atlanta at Colon
yesterday after a week’s stay at Cartho
gena where she went for coal. As affairs
are now quiet on the Isthmus it is pro
bable she will join Admiral Meade’s
squadron at Kingston.
The fleet which left San Domingo on
Saturday should have reached Kingston
on Sunday, unless, as is believed at the
Navy Department, it cruised around the
Island of Hayti and through the Wind
ward Passage off Cape May, where the
Allianca incident occurred.
The Columbia should reach Kingston
about Friday when Admiral Meade will
be in command of the largest and finest
American fleet that has ever met in a
British port. The naval training Rhip
Essex arrived at St. Thomas, West
Indies, to-day, where she will remain

passage of the Suez canal this morning
on her way to Zanzibar to render assist

acquitted by the local court, but under
a peculiar provision of Portuguese
colonial law, an appeal to the throne
was made by t he prosecution for another
trial and in the meantime Mr. Hollis
has been on parole.
It is possible also that the Castine may
visit Madagascar, where ex-Consnl Wal

after leaving Zanzibar, but no instruc
tions to that effect have been sent her.

Governor’s visit.
11 is now arrange d for the Governor
to leave Columbus about the first of

to the free coinage of silver He would
hardly take a stand, they say, against
the unmistakable wishes of the people
among whom he iutendtd to go, in the
