Justice Jackson Being Pres ent—The Rehearing to Embrace the Whole Case—Five Hours Given Each Side lor Argument—Mr. Guthrie Speaks Against the Law, and Mr. Whitney in Support of It. Washington, D. C. May 6.— The re argument of the income tax cases began in the Supreme Court of the United States to-day in the presence of an as semblage of Law and Laity, that as on the occassion of the original argument, more than exhausted the accommoda tions of the small chamber in which it was heard. For the first time since last Nov. there was a full complement of Justices on the bench, and all nine of the large leather covered arm chairs behind the desk that separated the court from the spectators were occupied. Mr. Justice Jackson, the youngest member of the court save one, was at the extreme right of the Chief Justice, and was naturally the ob served cf all observers. He took an ac tive interest in the proceedings, and there was apparently nothing to warrant the expectation that he might not be able to undergo the fatigue of the hear ing. Among those present in the court room were the various counsel engaged in the case, Messrs. Joseph H. Choate, ex-Secretary B. H. Brestow, Clarence A. Seward, William D. Guthrie, David Wilcox, J. M. Wilson, Samuel Shellabur ger, Attorney General Olney and Assis tants Whitney, Dickinson and Conrad; Representative McMillan, the author of the income tax law; Senator Mitchell, of Oregon; Hon. John A. Kassen. of Iowa; ex-Speaker Crisp, who is in the city on his way home from a visit to New York; ex-Postmaster General D n M. Dickin son, Richard Watson Gilder, and many ladies who having first manifested an unusual interest in the case. The beginning of the argument was preceded by the announcement of opin ions in several cases, none of them with I ossibly one exception, of general interj est or importance. This occupied forty minutes, so that it was well on toward 1 o'clock when W. D. Guthrie opened the argument for the petitioners, Messrs. Hyde and Pollock, who seek to enjoin the directors of the Farmers’ Loan and Trust and Continental Trust Company, of New York, from paying the tax on the dividends declared on the stock of these corporations, and in so doing attack the constitutionality of the law. The Chief Justice said: ‘‘ln thase cases appellants made application for a re hearing as to those propositions upon which the court was equally divided, whereupon the Attorney-General pre sented a suggestion that if any re-hear ing were granted, -t should embrace the whole case. Treating this suggestion as amounting in itself to an application for a re-hearing and not desiring to restrict the scope of the argument, we set down both applications to be hear 1 to day be fore a full bench, which the anticipated presence of our brother Jackson, happily realized, enabled us to do. No further argument will be desired. We were obliged, however, to limit the number of counsel to two on each side, but as to the time we await the suggestions of counsel. Attorney General Olney turned to Mr. Choate, who said he believed five hours would be sufficient for their side of the case. The Chief Justice announced that the court would grant so much, counsel for the government of course, to occupy the same amount of time. J. M. Wilson, of counsel for John G. Moore, who sued in the courts of the District of Columbia for an injunction restraining internal Revenue Commis sioner Miller from executing the law, asked permission to file an additional brief in that case, which has not yet been decided by the Supreme Court. In submitting the petition for a re hearing Mr. Guthrie said appellants in vited and faced the criticism of many of the opponents of the income tax who say that in thei ropinion the decision is in favor, in part at least, of those who denied the legality of the act. Counsel felt that a great constitutional controversy ought not to be permitted to transform itself into a test of shrewdness. It was their duty to bring about as speedily as possible a final end to all these con troversies that must ensue if the decision continues to stand as that of a divided court. There was a doubt not so much as to whether Congress had the [lower to tax but as to its method of tax ation. Mr. Guthrie spoke two hours and ten minutes. He was followed by Assistant Attorney General E. B. Whitney in support of the law. After an apology to the court for the want of proper preparation for the presentation of the case because of the lack of necessary time, Mr. Whitney said the government would suggest nothing further on the subject of tax upon State and municipal bonds than had been set forth in the original argument. Mr. Whitney spoke an hour at which time the court rose and adjourned until to-morrow. SUN’S COTTON REPORT. Speculators Have Couie to a Pause ami are Awaiting Developments. New York, May 6. —Cotton fell 6 to 7 points, recovered this, and in some cases advanced I.point, closing steady, with some months 1 point up, others un changed and others 1 point lower than at the close Saturday. The sales were 124,600 bales. Liverpool declined l-32d on the spot, with sales of 10,000 bales: futures declined 3 to 3 1-2 points, closing quiet and steady. New Orleans declined 6 points but re covered this and advanced 1 to 2 points. Manchester cloths were quiet and yarn offers scarce. Spot cotton here was quiet and unchanged. St. Louis de clined 1-16 cent. Augusta and Savan nah were weak. New Orleans sold 2,000. The port receipts were 8,863, against 9,360 last week and 8,61)9 last year; thus far this week 15,414, against 18,807 thus far last week. The New Orleans re ceipts to morrow are estimated at 3,500 to 4,500, against 5,019 last Tuesday. To-Day’s Features. The transactions showed no signifi cance beyond that which attaches to those of a purely scalping market. The speculation has come to a pause, and the majority of operators are simply awaiting developments before embarking in extensive ventures either for a rise or for a decline. Early in the day there was some depression due to the menac ing aspect of the Itusse-Japanese ques tion, and so a decline in Liverpool not to mention the dullness of trade at Man chester. But on the decline, the market ran into quite a number of buying ord ers, largely for short account for opera tors who had become alarmed at the very heavy rainfall in Texas, though the reports that a compromise had been reached in the matter of the Chinese treaty, no doubt contributed in a meas ure, to the firmness noticeable in the later transactions to-day. It seems too, that some operators bought on an idea that the next bureau report to be published on the 10th in stant will be of a bullish character. But, as already intimated, it was a narrow market, and the business was mostly of a scalping nature, the great majority of operators either trading very lightly or else holding aloof altogether pending farther developments in the commercial political worlds of Europe and Asia.

Moore, Jas. G. Martin, Locke Craige, W. R. Whitson, W. H. Reed, C. E. Graham, J. E. Rankin, S. L. Rogers, J. P. Kerr, W. H. Penland and P. A. Cummings. Sketch of His Life. Melvil E. Carter was a descendant of the Virginia family of the same name, his ancestors having come to this State at the close of the Revolutionary war, Mr. Carter was born in Madison county February 27, 1843. He was ed ucated at the University under Gov. Swain and studied law under the late Judge Bailey. He was licensed to prac tice in 1867 and has continued ac tively in the practice of his profession at Asheville since that time. In State politics he always took an active interest. Though he never sought office he was three times elected to the Legislature. He was a member of the House of Representatives in 1876, 1878 and 1880, and served on some of the most important committees. While in the Legislature he took an active in terest in the completion of the Western North Carolina Railroad and aided in the passage of the bill to compromise the State debt. For the last fifteen years he has devoted all his time to his law practice, until 1894 when he was ap pointed, without any consideration on his part, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Western which position he held at the time of his death. Mr. Carter served in the Confederate army throughout the war. He was Cap tain of company A, of the 64th North Carolina Regiment, until that regiment was captured at Cumberland Gap in 1863. But Captain Carter escaped and raised another company, but was again captured in Tennessee while in service under Gen. J. C. Breckinridge, and car ried North. x\t Jersey City, however, he again escaped and found his way back to Washington, and then through Grant’s lines to Richmond. Mr. Carter married Miss Susie R. Rawls, daughter of Dr. B. F. Rawls, of South Carolina. They have seven chil dren. Deputy Rogers to take Charge. Washington, D. C., May 6.—Commis sioner Miller to-day designated Samuel L. Rogers Chief Deputy to take charge of the office of the Fifth North Carolina Internal Revenue District at Asheville, N. C., and act as collector until a suc cessor to Collector Melvin E. Carter, who died Sunday, shall have been appointed by the President. FROM FLORIDA IN FIFTEEN DAYS. That is the Record Made Through Rain and Mud by Two ’Cyclists Here Sun day. When George Dyson and George Ran dall, mechanics of Sandford, Florida, who are touring the country awheel to Boise City, lowa, reached the compara tively smooth streets of this city Sunday, they were happy indeed. Wheels re volving briskly they rode gaily in the sunshine to the Park Hotel, where they soon revelled in two luxuries they have learned to appreciate highly, a wash and a good dinner. As stated above, they are two me chanics of Sandford, a little Florida town. Both are expert wheelmen, and wanting a holiday and being friends, they concluded to take a pleasure trip. Expense was some considertipn to them and so they concluded to take a trip awheel. With another friend they started from home on April the 20th. As is seen two of them arrived here yesterday, just fif teen days after the start. They have thus far had a terrible trip, riding, walk ing up and down rough country roads and hills and struggling through deep, slushy mud and streams. At Ridgeway their companion, utterly tired out and sick, gave up the fight and turned back. But the other two pushed on. They say that in spite of the rough roads ana w T et weather they have made on an average forty miles a day. When they reach Virginia and Maryland, with the good roads they can reasonably expect, they will make as much as eighty miles per day. Both cyclists appeared fresh and strong after their rough, tiresome trip aud left yesterday afternoon for Weldon. PRICE FIVE CENTS. DEAD ON THE TRACK. Strange Case of a Negro Found Dead at Lexington. Special to the News and Observer. Lexington, N. 0., May 6. Last night four young negro women started down the railroad, and about a mile from here sat down on a sill-pile. They were followed by three white boys, aud later by some negro men. One of these negro men, it seems, had been paying close attention to one of the girls Joe Grant Miller. It is thought a hot fight took place at the sill-pile from the evidences left there. This morning at two, as the express came through, it passed over the body of Joe Miller. This morning at ten it was lying just as it was left, the body on the outside of the rail, and the head be tween 1 the tracks. The train was stopped, aud the con ductor hastened back to notify the agent, who went back with him to the body, which was found to be perfectly cold. This was Ihe basis of a theory that the woman was murdered and placed on the track, and this the ory is strengthened by the story of the engineer, who says the body was lying down when he saw it. Moreover, the severing of the neck is a clean cut, and on the dress are marks of blood as if from band-prints. The girl’s hat and part of her dress were found at the sill pile this morning, and another one of the women who disappeared has not yet been heard from. Sheriff Michael was awakened during the night, but has not yet fathomed the mystery. SMALL-POX IN VIRGINIA. One Death lias Occurred Near Staun ton From the Disease. Richmond, Va., May 6. A Staunton, Va., special says: For several days past rumors that there was small-pox in this section have been rife. To-day the board of health reported to Mayor Fultz as their opinion that the disease exists here. The cases have not developed every characteristic of small-pox, but the pa tieits have been treated for the disease, and last night the first death occurred in the person of James Maupin, a negro living on South Green Street. The ae - ceased was buried at once. MRS. CRAM GETS *! ,500. The Plaintiff In the Suit Against W. C. Cram Gets a Final Settlement and Departs. Judge Starbuck remained over until yesterday to hear and decide in Cham • bers the case of Mary C. Cram vs. W. C. Cram, of this city. Reference was made in Sunday’s News and Observer to a compromise by which Mrs. Cram was to get one-third of Mr. Cram's estate. Yesterday from onet&use or another, $1,500 was the amount set tled upon to clean up all the contentions of Mrs. Cram ad infinitum. If the true cause of the frequent perti nacity of Mrs. Mary Cram be rightly comprehended, the object of her visit or, more properly, visits to Raleigh have been for the purpose of ridding a scepti cal world of any unjust doubt of the en tire legitimacy of her son, Mr. Gordon L. Cram. Who on earth ever doubted the legitimacy of Mr. Gordon Cram ? Did anybody ever dare to doubt it? If so, who ? and if so, why ? But admitting, for the sake of argument, that New York and Canada had not come to a final decision upon this point, the unrest of those two sections may, now happily, be considered a closed incident; for Raleigh plus Judge Star buck plus W. C. Cram plus SISOO have resented the imputation; so that now young Mr. Cram having brought a past into this town, carries a future out of it. He carries away the four imprimaturs mentioned above of being the genuine and only Gordon L. Cram, and what does he leave? He leaves the happy vale , viveqtie. s of our beautiful little city, and (’twas almost forgotten) the father, also, gets left. It is said that Mrs. Cram, plus her son, will leave to-day for the North, where Mr. Cram will take a S7OO posi tion as teacher of modern languages, while Mr. W. C. Cram, minus $1,500, will remain where he has lived for twenty years as a highly esteemed citi zen. It were poor recompense for that score of years of good citizenship, were the News and Observer, which, pending the trial, has remained silent, not to ex press now its sympathy with this man through all his torture, which, it is safe to say, cannot be measured in money. Mrs. Cram and Mr. Gordon L. Cram seemingly came to North Carolina for business, went about their business, fin ished up their business, and leave promptly after they have no more busi ness. Business is gescha ft. Pauaill Admitted to Bail. Lynchburg, Va., May 6.- Robert H. Pannill, who lias been twice tried for aiding and abetting ex-teller Walker G. Hamnerin purloining money from the First National Bank, and whose third trial is set for the September term of the United States District Court, the two former trials having resulted in hung juries, was released from jail to day upon giving $6,000 bail. No More Prize-Fighting in Florida. Jacksonville, Fla., May 6.—A special from Tallahassee, Florida, says The Senate passed the anti-prize fight bill to day. It now goes to the House where it will pass without doubL
