FIGHT OVER A LOAD V ’nsKEY IN SOUTH i APOMNA, three cnYjauws shot One of Them Was Killed Instantly, Another Died of Loss of Blood-- The Dead and Wounded Men are From Polk County, N. C., Where They are Well Known —A Constable Was Severely Wounded and Has Little Chance of Recovery. Charleston, S. C., June 28 —Special from Spartanburg, S. 0., says: Last night a tight took place on the Howard Gap road, about five miles from here. The constables had heard that a load of whiskey was coming from the direction of Polk county. Constable Echel: erger sent out constables Pettigrew, of Fair field; Tolaud and Byars of this county and a man by the name of Stevens to in tercept the wagon. They met it in the road /.bout five miles from town, not far from the scene of the r.cent Pisgah fight. The con stables divided their forces and made the attack in front and rear. One of them in front ordered a and surrender, stating that they were State officers. Some one in the wagon said: “All right,” but before they had time to dis mount to deliver the wagon and contents a pistol was fired and Pettigrew fell. The fighting then became general. When the" smoke cleared away, it was ascertained that Jack Fisher and Bill Durham, of Tryon, N. G., were killed. Pettigrew was very severely wounded with little chance of recovery. Tolaud was shot iu the breast, but the ball ranged round and the wound is slight. It is also said that a youth by the name of Brown, a driver of the wagon, was wounded. One of the mules drawing the wagon was shot, and it is believed that he will die. Ste vens was left in charge of the wagon and whiskey. Toland came on to town last night. Mark Durham, a brother of Bill Durham, is in town this morning. He was in the neighborhood in a priva’e house. Fisher and Durham were shot in the wagon and fell back with their heads resting on a whiskey barrel. There they were allowed to remain until the coroner arrived The Fisher family is rather a prominent or rather a notorious one about Tryou. Physically they are fine specimens of mountain manhood. Durham was a relative, or special friend of the Fishers and they could always count on him when they needed help. They had two barrels of whiskey and perhaps more in the wagon. It is not known wbat the destination of the whiskey was. No ono from the city was mixed up with it in any way. It is said that Pettigrew can not live. The coroner held an inquest and the verdict was that Fisher and Durham came to their death by gunshot wounds at the hands of parties unknown to the jury. The constables refuse to give testi mony and their were uo other witnesses. It is believed that Fisher and Dur ham did not fire at all. Their guns were all loaded and the testimony was that they were shot while lying dowp in the wagon. It was a pitiful sight. Fisher was killed instantly but Durham lived six hours and died from loss of blood.. AWFUL CRIME NEAR AURORA. A Y« ung Girl Outraged by a Sunday School Superintendent. Special to the News and Observer. Washington, N. C., June 28. Mr. Walter Hooker, of Aurora, this county, who is a prominent church man of that village, succeeded in committing rape upon a Miss Midyette, the thirteen year old daughter of Mr. Benj Midyette, yesterday afternoon, about three miles from Aurora. He was apprehended and carried to idaha for trial, but on account of the precarious condition of Miss Midyette, the trial has been postponed. The doc t>rsit te her chance for recovery is slim. Hooker admits his crime, but gives no reason for the same. He is Superinten dent of 'the M. E. Sunday School, and a man who was locked upon with the high est respect by that section of Beaufort county. Great excitement prevails, and serious consequence are feared. NEBRASKA DEMOCRACY SPLIT. Separate State Conventions Will Be Held by the Contending Factions. Omaha, Neb , Judc 28. —The old Dem ocratic State Central Committee, which was overthrown at the State Convention last year, and which has kept up its or ganization. met to night and decided to issue a call for a State Convention to nominate a ticket at Lincoln, September 5. This committee claims to be the only regular Democratic committee, and is so recognized by Secretary Morton. Its chairman is Postmaster Euclid Martin, of this city, and it is composed chiefly of Federal office holders. This call means a divided party again this year, and that all chances of Demo cratic victory in this State are lost; for the regular committee, which is domi nated by the Bryan faction, will cal! a convention, and thus there will be two Democratic tickets in the field and no possible harmony. MARRIAGE BELLS AT SHELBY. The Wedding of Mr. Kim Weathers aud Miss Kittle Carroll. Special to the New's and Observer. Shelby, N. C., June 28. The Baptist church at this place was crowded to its utmost capacity yesterday afternoon to witness the marriage of Miss Kittle Carroll, the beautiful daugh ter of Mr. M. L.

Promptly at 5 o’clock the bridal party entered the church in the following or der: First came the ushers, Messrs. J. L Suttle, T. W. Keudrick, Walter Ramseur and C. E.

The Effects of the Panic Have Almost Entirely Disappeared and Business Grows Better and Better Though the Crop Outlook Is not Good-—Labor Troubles are Passing With the Ad vance in W ages—-Evidences.of Re vival of General Trade at the South. New York, June 28.— R. G. Dun & Co.’s trade review says: The half yearly report of failures next week will include about 6,900 against 7,039 for the first half of last year, aud liabilities of about $88,000,000 against $101,578,152 last year. But for the cordage concern, the aggregate would be nearly 23 per cent less than last year, and the manufacturing liabilities 26 per cent less, but including it the manufact uring liabilities will be about $40,000,- 000 against $41,376,102 last year and the trading $45,000,000 against $52,345,978 last year, while miscellaneous liabilities were only $2,700,000 against $7,856,072 last year. Failures for the past week have been 256 in the United States against 214 last year and 22 in Canada against 35 last year. Business is better, although the crop outlook, affecting prospects beyond the near future, is a little less distinct. Cotton has fallen three sixteenths to 7 cents, in spite of reports of serious in jury by rains in Texas and Louisiana. A little buying by Northern spinners surprises the market, for their takings have been more than enough for the years consumption, and British returns show a great decrease iu exports of cot ton goods The labor troubles are passing with frequent advances in the r.»te of wages paid. Iron still advances, Bessemer selling for sl2 90 at Pittsburg and Grey Forge at SIO.BO. A further advance in struc tural forms is expected. The Western demand for steel rails at the advance of $2 per ton is quite good. The rise in bar is maintained, aud plate and sheet mills are crowded so that it is difficult to place orders at current prices. The closing of its contract by the syn dicate raises the treasury reserve about $100,000,000 but the certainty that no more gold is to be imported by the bank ers makes foreign exchange stronger and if a large part of the bonds taken abroad have been resold to this country, deliv erable as soon as possible, as some be lieve, the heavy merchandise imports for June at New York. 48 per cent larger than last year, against exports about 2 per cent smaller, will render exports of gold altogether probable. Money still comes hither from the West in amounts averaging about $250,000 daily, and commercial loans are enlarging, particu larly on iron and other manufacturing paper. The vloume of business represented by exchanges through the principal clearing houses is for the past week 35 8 per cent larger than la3t year, a really surprising gain and only .7 of increase le»s than in 1892, while the average for the mouth is 28.8 per cent larger than last year aud 7.1 per cent less than in 1882. The return is highly encouraging in spite of the comparative mtgnitude of speculative operations. Brad street’s Review. New York, June 28.—Bradstreet’s to morrow, June 29th, will say: Dominating business conditions of the week are the continued large demand for and further increase in prices for iron and steel, which have surprised even the trade. The jump in rail prices, and scarcity of and higher quotations for plates and nails, have tended to pro duce temporary scarcity. With the further advances in prices of iron and steel should be coupled the gain of 1 cent per pound for wooi, which ap nareutly began its journey to a higher level about a fortnight ago. Better quo tations have also been made for cheaper grade wo den goods, 212 cent* per yard, for prints, Bessemer pig, billets, wheat, pork, lard, hogs, shoes and copper, while declines in prices are recorded for flour, corn, oats, coffee, cotton, naval stores and cattle. Sugar, coal and lumber are practically unchanged. Total bank clearings, $1,011,000,010, while smaller for all cities than a week ago by 6.5 percent, are 32 percent larger thin in the last week of June, 1894, 6 p reent larger than in that week in 1893, a month after the panic had gotten fully under way, but 2 percent smaller than in the corresponding week iu 1892. Business failures in the United States for'six months, as reported to .Brad street’s, show a marked falling off in the second quarter of the past six months, as was to be expected, but not so great a decline relatively as in the second quarter of 1894, which results in a total for six months of 6,597, or 1 per cent more than last year, 6 per cent more than in 1893, and 9 per cent more than in the first half of 1891, after Baring crash. But the total liabil ities have shrunk more than $3,000,000 from last year, and more than one half within two years, to the excess iu the number of failures being due rather to continued effects of the recent business disturbance on smaller enter prises than the new and unfavorable con ditions. At New York there is nearly the usual volume of mid summer trade in staple goods. At Philadelphia the improve ment in demand for staples and for iron SATURDAY, JUNE 29. 1895. and steel as well as at Pittsburg, is again conspicuous. There is relatively less gain at Buffalo, but at Baltimore the outlook for fall business is regarded as excellent. There are a few evidences of a revival of general trade at the South, but mer chants at almost all loading cities in that region report that the demand continues very moderate, and collections are slow. Cotton and fruit crops in the South At lantic States promise well, and the busi ness outlook is reported encouraging. Incessant rains in Texas have hurt the crops. Increased shipments of Galvas ton jobbers are reported due rather more to a railway freight rate war than to in creased demand. Iron to Be Further Advanced. Pittsburg, Pa., June 28. —A special from Youngstown, Ohio, says: An im portant meeting of the Bar Iron Manu facturers Association was held here this afternoon and before adjournment it was unanimously decided to advance the price of bar iron two dollars per ton. The ad vance goes into effect at once and is the second of the same amount in a short time. Another advance in a few days is probable, as all reports indicate an active demand. The Advance in the South. Birmingham, Ala., June 28.— The Age- Herald, will print the following to-mor row morning: Iron was advanced $1 a ton yesterday by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and R. R, Company which makes a total advance of $2.75 a ton since the 15th of March and the indications are that it is not do e rising yet. Prices ruling in the Birmingham iron market yesterday,were as follows: No. 1 fouadry $9.75; No. 2 foundry $9 25; No. 3 'oundry $9; No. 1 soft $9 25; No. 2 soft $9; Gray Forgesß.7s;Mottledsß.7s. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company sold a considerable lot of iron at the new price yesterday and the market is active and continues to strengthen day -by day. An Age- Herald reporter called on President Bax ter of the Tennessee Coal, Lon and R. R. Co., at his private residence yesterday, for the purpose of interviewing him. Mr. Baxter was in the best of spirits, and in response to the reporter's question, said : “We made the advance in iron because we were selling more iron at the former price than we were making, and on ac count of the activity and strength of the market, and also to put us on an equal footing with the Northern and Eastern market. “The advance to day of $1 a ton makes a total advance of $2 25, we have had on our iron since March 15th. The ad vance of Bessemer iron at the same time has been $3.50. “Under this price, coal miners work ing in the mines of the Tennessee Coal Iron and R. R. Co., in this district are entitled to an advance in their wages of 50 cents a ton for mining coal. So soon as we aunouneed the advance in iron, we immediately notified the miners that from and after July Ist they would receive 50 cents a ton more for mining than we have been paying them. Notices to i his effect have been posted to day at all our coal mines in Alabama.'’ Another Advance in Wages. Youngstown, Ohio, June 28.— Early this morning the conference committee* of the Amalgamated Association and the manufacturers agreed upon a wage scale for the coming year aud signed it, a committee being appointed to arrange the details. The scale is practically the same as the one in operation now, which expires August Ist m .king as 4 rate for puddling, ex cept that the card rate of iron on which wages is computed is made 11 10, in stead of 1 6 10. Mills are crowded with orders, aud this caused the manufactur ers to affirm the scale as presented. THE Nil EM WELL TRIAL. Accused Will Be Taken to Lexing ton To-day—Court Begins Monday. Special to the News and Observer. Lexington, N. C., June 28. The nearness of the special term of the Superior Court at which the already fa mous trial of Shemwell for killing Dr. Payne, will come on, has revived tire in terest and talk of the fatal shooting. Prominent lawyers from other parts of the State are looking into the case, tes timony, Ac. The prosecution will be represented by the Solicitor and 8. E. Williams and Perkir.s & Walser, of this place, Col. J. E. Boyd, of Greens boro, B. F. Long, former Solicitor of this district, and Judge W. J. Mont gomery, of Concord. For the defence are Robbins A Raper, of this place, C. B Wa'son, of Winston, Congressman-elect Linney and Judge Armfield, of Statesville. Truly, an array of very able counsel on both sides. Shemwell will be brought here Satur day by order of the court. Our town has the marble craze—near ly everybody is playing marbles. Law yers, doctors, merchants, bankers, gen tlemen of leisure, old and young, in fact all claeses and ages are at it, and they seem to enjoy the same immensely. The Lexington Furniture Factory will soon be r. ady to begin operation. The building is about completed, and the machinery ordered and expected every day. Harvest is about over. Wheat is turn ing out prelty well. One party made fifty-five bushds on about one acre of land. The Summer School Reception. Special to the News and Observer. Chapel Hill, N. C., June 28. The reception given by the Faculty of of the Summer School to all teachers and visitors cgi the Hill was quite a suc cess. The crowd was large and all seemed to spend the evening ’very pleasantly. Mimic was furnished by the newly formed orchestra of Chapel Hill. WAITING FOR MASSEY A GREAT C ROWD THRONG THE COURT ROOM TO HEAR HIS EVIDENCE. BUT THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED. The Business Manager of the Pilot was Kept on the Stand Most of the Day-- He Will be Examined Again To-day Declares That he Does not Know who was the Author of the Article Complained oi—Believes it was Ginn & Co.’s Agent. Norfolk, Va., June 28.—The people of Norfolk are taking the most intense interost in the Massey-Pilot libel suit, and today the largest crowd of the week thronged the court-room. While all of the evidence is of more than ordinary interest, it is safe to say that nearly all of these people are watching for Mr. Massey’s appearance on the stand. It was confi dently expected that he would be called to-day, but the plaintiff’s counsel sprung a big surprise by calling to the witness box Mr. W. W. Gibbs, business manager of the Pilot. Mr.Walke conducted the examination. Mr. Gibbs said that he was business manager of the Pilot and that Mr. Small was editor when the alleged libelous ar ticle appeared. Mr. Small was managing editor until April 4th. The witness said that the December 23d issue of the Pilot was 25,000 that 4,000 of the papers were sent to Mr. R. E. Byrd, of Winchester, but not as agent of Ginn A Co., the book publishers. Witness said he did not know who was the author of the article complained of; that he was told by Mr. Small that he had an article in preparation in refer ence to the American Book Company. In answer to questions, witness said he did not know Mr. Byrd prepared the article, but for himself, he believed he did. He did not know that Mr. Byrd wa* the agent of Ginn A Co., in fact did not know there was such a firm in the world until this matter came up; he, however, ftr himself, believed that Byrd was their agent. Mr. Gibbs said, after suit was entered, he (Gibbs) visited the various book publishers and asked them to bear part of the ex penses of the suit. He thought they would be the beneficiaries and should pay some of the money. He called on Ginn A to., and they refused to pay anything, and said that Byrd was not their agent. ~ In reply to Mr. Thom, witness said he did not claim that Ginn A Co., were re sponsible, but claimed that they should help us to fight this suit and they re fused. The company called on Mr. Byrd to furnish the facts. Had an interview with Mr. Byrd, and that gentleman did not deny that he was the author of the article. By Mr. Thom: “Did or did not the di rectors say that they would have to look out for themselves as individuals if Ginn A Co. would not defend the suit ?” Mr. Gibbs admitted that this was true. In reply to a question from Mr. Thom, witness said that he thought the article would produce a big sensation. When the court adjourned at 3 p. m. Mr. Gibbs was still on the stand and will likely be before the court a good part of to-morrow’s session. THE SAN FRANCISCO FIRE. One Life was Lost and $1,500,000 of Property Destroyed. San Francisco, Cal , June 28.—Fire which started at 6 o’clock last night de stroyed four blocks in the heart of the manufacturing district of the city, in volving a loss of $1,500,000 in property and sacrificing one life. It raged un checked for over four hours, feeding on a succession of wooden buildings and might have been beyond control for many hours longer but for lucky changes in the wind. The burned area is bounded by Town send, Bryant, Third and Fifth streets. The flames made occasional invasions outside these limits but only to the ex tent of a few houses. A Miss Gilroy was burned to death. This was the only fatality r< p jrted. Sle was attempting to save some of her be longings and was covered with burning oil. The people who lived in this district, inhabited the wooden houses scattered among the manufacting plants. They are mostly of the poorer classes. They worked heroically to save their house hold goods, but were successful in few instances. During the progress of the tire, a steam boiler exploded in a French laundry. The force of the explosion sent about half a ton of boiler flowing through the building. A piece lodged i in Shirley’s Hotel. So great was the shock that all the windows not destroyed by the heat were blown into the street. There was a thrilling scene while the 1 convent and parochial school attached to St. Rose’s Church were in flames. A few moments before the roof fell in a boy 1 was seen at one of the upper windows, i A cry of horror weut up from the crowd ] and firemen yelled to the boy to jump. A blanket was held out, but just then the flames and smoke enveloped the building aud the next moment the roof fell in with a crash. Every body thought the boy was lost, but he jumped into the < blanket held by the firemen and escaped uninjured. i PRICE FIVE CENTS. BASEBALL YESTERDAY.

F., June 28.—There i 3 serious trouble in the Whiteway (the government) party in the Legislature. The rank and file want the regular ses sion at pay and a bonus besides, because the session has been seven months long. The ministry refuse to sanction this, holding that they are in honor bound to carry out retrenchment. The unofficial members of the party retort that the cabinet officers are get ting their full salaries to the end of June and that the other members of the party are entitled to receive some con sideration. The ministry threaten to discharge the contingencies committee and repl/tce it with another committee composed of members of the executive alone.
