THE TRIAL BEGIH3 TOMORROW. Affidavits and Counter-Affidavits Read and Argued Before the Court-- The Judge Decides That the Burden •of Proof is on the Prosecution and Refuses to Allow the Removal— Shemwell Smiled When the Decision was Rendered—The Jury Drawn. Special to the News and Observer. Lexington, N. C., July 2. The affidavit which last night was handed over by the prosecution to the defence in the Shemwell case, setting forth that an impartial jury could not be obtained in Davidson county, was this morning answered by the defence. As was foreshadowed by Mr. Watson in his talk last night, a volley of counter affidavits was forthcoming this morning. These affidavits were read, and others gotten later were read by the prosecu tion to weaken their force. After the reading of such affidavits by both sides, arguments were made by Judge Mont gomery and Mr. Boyd for the prosecu tion, and Cy Watson for the defence, and the motion to remove the cause was denied. A special veni r e of 300 was asked for by Solicitor Holton and granted. The names were drawn and they were or dered summoned to appear Thursday morning at 10 o’clock until w’hich time the trial will not be resumed. Such was the bird’s eye story of the day. Against the allegations of the Solicitor's affidavits was read first, by- Mr. Buxton, the affidavits of ten citizens from dissent points of the county, saying that no undue influence had been used and that there would be not great trouble in getting an honest verdict. The names were Messrs Rich, Frazer, Grubb, Frank, Cole, Cecil, Cook, Pickel, Pickett. Then came the reading of affidavits from the thirteen men named in Hol ton's affidavits who it was alleged had been unduly active throughout the county in Shemwell’s behalf. Each one denied the allegation, all thirteen of them, as follows: M. W. Barbee, David Reid, Earl Mcßary, Ed. Yarborough, Jo. Thurston, Dr. Aston, Phillip Sowers, John Nave, Robert Conrad, Chades Sec rest, C. H. Bernheim, John T. Wason, and W. P. Redwin. Affidavits denying undue influence from Shemwell’s friends and belief that an impartial trial could be had were read from the following also : W. C. Harris, Geo. E. Hunt, T. E Mcßary, Baxter Shemwell, H. P. Wat son, C. H. Davis, L. C. Hanes, E. H. Boone, A. A. Hinkle, J. W. Mcßary, N. J. Leonard, J. R. Mcßary, Mrs. Baxter Shemwell. To counteract the effect of this answer from the defence Mr Long read an affi davit signed by 43 citizens from different points of the county alleging that nearly every man of good character had formed and expressed an opinion. The names were Messrs. Craven, Beck, Cook, Wike, Green, Crotts, Ford, Elliott, Hunt, Leon ard, Conrad, Davis, Carrick, Reid, Mich ael, Heitman, John 8. Mcßary, Dale, Z’mmfrman, Andrew, Sink, Kennedy, Nance, Hcge, Pickard, Evans, Koonts, Lohr,R. E Leonard, D. L Walser, Finch, Berrier. Wiley Leonard, Pickett, Ever hart, Varner, Loftin, Gray, Mclver, Ty singer, Hiram Berrier, Wade Berrier, Femmaa, Rea. Affidavits were also read by the prose cution from Mrs. Payne, widow of the deceased. Her information was that what was stated by the Solicitor was sub stantially true. Os counsel for the State it seems Walser alleged in an affi davit that he had quoted the sheriff as saying that he (the sheriff) had been threatened by Shemwell’s friends under oertain conditions. S. E. Williams, of counsel for the Stale, made affidavit that he had talked with Methodist preacher Boone here concerning a sermon on capital punishment which Boone is alleged to have preached soon after the killing; he had substantially rebuked Boone who,he said, replied, “now is the time to work,” having admitted that be was against capital punishment. Boone in his affidavit contradicted Wil liams by saying that he had never preach ed any sermon at any time on capital punishment and that he had never used any such expression as that attributed to him by Williams. Young Doctor Payne made affidavit that in a conversation with John Noo* 1 , who was in the employ of Shemwell, Nooe had said substantially that he did not propose to do any dirty work for the Shemwell’s. Nooe’s answer to this de nied any such conversation, saying that he had gone to Dr. Payne’s office drink ing at Payne's request and had told Payne that he loved Shemwell and would lose his life before he would do any dirty work for him (Payne). M. W. Barber denied having said in Salisbury, as stated in affidavit of the State, that the defence had a!l the meney they wanted and had the jury fixed. R. L. Holton believed that the majority of the people had ex pressed themselves. Mrs. Baxter Shemwell made affidavit that she, her father and two or three near relatives had borne the burden of preparation of the cas<* and beyond that had done nothing. Baxter Sbemw'ell, the prisoner, made affidavit that it was untrue that his connection was so large in the county that it could not be accu rately ascertained, aud that, therefore, an unfair trial would result; that he had in Davidson county five uncles, three of whom had only small children and two had three hoys about grown and five girls about grown, none of whom were married; also two uncles by mar riage, two of whom had seven grown children; two brothers both urn er age; three married and two unmarried sis ters; that he did not believe he had more than 75 relatives, near and remote, in the county. He denied the statement of Payne about Nooe. “Thus the clash of names outlined above about represents the clash of opin ion hereabouts and the problem involv ing this clash was what Judge Boykin took hold of when he announced his de cision. His first words were, “The motion is denied,” then he gave his rea sons, if no convincingly to the prosecution and those in sympathy with it, at least clearly, in sincere, fine spirit and with force. He decided in reference to the law of 1879, which allowed counter affidavits byway of answer and which said the judge must not remove the cause unless he was sat isfied that it could not be fairly tried, that the burden of proof to show this was on the prosecution making the motion; and that if he had doubts he yet could not be satisfied in the face of affidavits and auswer that had been sub mitted. Before dinner the three arguments spoken of above had been made. Judge Montgomery spoke in a matter of fact way, presenting his argument with co gency and closeness and appealing to the Judge alone. Mr. Boyd was more popu lar in his style. Mr. Watson made a speech of passionate and magnetic power. He was much aroused before he closed, saying shame on the whole transaction, refer ring to Dr. Payne having Nooe come to his office in order, as Mr. Watson said, that he might see if he, Nooe, while drinking, would not consent to work against one he loved who was in j nil Tnen he referred to Holmes as having come in voluntarily, as having jumped over a ten rail fence to get into the pasture of the prosecution. The effects of his words could be seen in the packed court room. Payne’s and Shemwell’s sympathizers eonld be easily noted by the streak of grave even vindictive faces, and the streak of smiling faces that followed one of his electric onslaughts. After the Judge’s decision a gentle smile went over the lips of Shemwell, the first that has appeared on his face since the trial. Little eight year-old Lacy Leonard drew the names from the twelve township drawers and the ease was adjourned to Thursday morning. Although Shem well has been brighter under the presence of his wife and sister who stay by his side his weakness ap pears as he walks out of the court room. He went with his wife holding one arm and he holding the arm of the jailor and even then there was a slight unsteadiness of walk. Now and then as he left the build ing he was greeted by a dozen or more scattered friends and more looked at him sympathizingly, for he has many friends, while many were silent and not prepared to give up their loyalty to the dead man who was so deeply loved here.

Buchanan, who was exe cuted yesterday at Sing Sing, was held at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

RALEIGH, N. 0.. WEDNESDAY, JULY 3. 1895. MASSEY-PILOT SUIT SOME SHADY BUSINESS TRANS ACTIONS OF THE PLAIN TIFF EXAMINED. THE LAND .COMPANY CASE AGAIN. Transfer of Property Between Mr. Massey and his Brother—Money De posited in the Charlottesville Bank to Mrs. Massey’s Credit, but Checked out by Mr. Massey, Using his Wife’s Name-Books ol the Planter’s National Bank in Evidence. Norfolk, Va., July 2.---When Judge Prentis rapped for order in the City Cir cuit Court at 10:30 o’clock this morning the usual large crowd was present to witness the proceedings in the Massey- Pilot suit. The court announced that that there wotald be no session of the court held on Thursday, July 4th. Mr. Neely, for the plaintiff, then arose and called attention to a report of yes terday’s proceedings appearing in the Pilot of to-day, which Mr, Neely said was seriously incorrect in what it reported witness Delee as saying about the repu tation of Messrs. Womack and Massey. The court said for the benefit of the reporters present that incorrect reports were contempt of court, and if it oc curred again it might be cause of action by the court. Capt. Wise then submitted documen tary evidence against Mr. Massey, in cluding the Land Company case (in which it was claimed that certain stock belonged to Mrs. Ma~sey) that went to the court of Appeals; the decision of the court of Appeals in said case; the transfer of property between Mr. Massey and his brother. The deposition B. C. Flannigan, of Charlottesville, was also introduced and was taken up and read, the court ruling out what Mr. Massey said at that time and also ruling out all letters and papers produced by Mr. Massey on that occa sion except those that were actually apart of Mr. Flannigan’s deposition. Mr. Flannigan testified that Mr. Massey had been a prosperous and thrifty man. The accounts of the hank in Charlottesville showed that Mrs. Massey deposited there in April, 1894, $5,000. Captain Wise said that in regard to the checks on this amount, he expects to prove that some of them are in the handwriting of Mr. Massey and that some of the signatures are in his writing. The deed from Payne to Massey for the house and lot in Charlottesville, sold for $5,100, was also introduced. Mr. Gosden, bookkeeper of the Plan ter’s National Bank of Richmond, was then called, and brought with him four massive books from that hank, in order to show Mr. Massey’s ac counts with it during 1890, ’9l, ’92, ’93 and ’94 These books showed that In 1890, Mr. Massey had a good account with that hank, the largest feature being a deposit of S3OO in currency In 1891 he only had eighty dollars in the bank. Iu 1892, '93 and ’94 he has fair sized accounts. A feature of the evid ence as to his certificates of deposit,—he kept two accounts, one “Individual” and the other “Cortifleates_of deposit”—was that while some of these certificates were as agent for Mrs. Massey, when were redeemed, the money was deposited to his individual account by the plaintiff. This was admitted by plaintiff’s side. Witness said that it was unusual for patrons of the bank to keep accounts in that way, not more than 3 per cent of depositors do it, the hank does not like it and only allows it as an accommodation to patrons. The decision of the Court of Appeals in the Yancey-Mawey case was then put in evidence. This was the ease in which it had been sought to garnishee the Massey stock in a laud company to satisfy defendants against Mr. Massey. It was claimed that the stock sought to be garnisheed had been transferred by Mr. Massey to his wife. The lower court decided against Massey on the point, and the case wont to the Court of Ap peals, when it again went against she Masseys. The defence followed the above with the documentary evidence from Alabama to show that Mrs. Massey had not. as much estate there as has been claimed. Before this Alabama evidence was con cluded, court adjourned until to morrow morning. MINERS ALMOST STARVING. The Situation in the Elkhorn KogioH Growing Very Desperate. Charleston, W.

Pay Afkid for 1,900 Rales ol Cotton Destroyed in Mexico. Special to the News and Observer. Winston, N. 0., July 2. W. A. Maury, special assistant to At torney General Harmon, was in Winston to-day taking the depositions of General W. R Boggs before United States Com missioner Bessent, in the case of Mrs. Alice Weil, widow, aud others, in which the plaintiffs claim that Mr. Weil had I, bales of cotton destroyed at Mat amoras, Mexico, by Confederate troops in September, 1865.

HE HAD REFUSED TO RESIGN. Prof. Harrington was Appointed Un der Harrison’s Administration by Secretary Rusk and now Claims That he has Been Made a Martyr to Polit ical Necessities—There has Been Friction Between Pro!. Harrington and Secretary Morton lor Sometime. Washington, D. C., July 2 —Professor Mark W. Harrington, Chief of the Weather Bureau, has been removed by the President. There has been friction between Prof. Harrington, who is a holding over offi cial of the Department and Secretary Morton, his^official chief, for some time. On the 19tli of last month, according to the statement which Mr. Harrington now for the first time makes public, the Pres ident requested his resignation “because of personal interests,” as Prof. Harring ton phrases it. He declined to resign and the President directed his removal, to take effect at the beginning of the new fiscal year, July 19. Prof. Harrington was appointed by Secretary Rusk in 1890 from Michigan because of his long acquaintance with meteorological matters. He was a mem ber of the faculty of Ann Harbor Uni versity, and had the influence of the Senators from that State. There was an investigation into alleged irregularities in the Weather Bureau administration a yeer or more ago, and considerable talk at that time that Mr. Harrington’s resignation would be acceptable but it died away. Prof. Harrington himself claims that he has been made a martyr to political necessities. He said one evening: “Among the public interests which I have had steadily in view were the pres ervation of the scientific corps and the protection of the Bureau from the spoils man. W r hen a scientific bureau descends to the four-year office-holding plane it at once loses prestige and ceases to be a de sirable post for competent men.” Major Dunwoody, of the Signal Ser vice, is most prominently mentioned as Prof. Harrington’s successor. But as the Weather Bureau has been transferred to the control of the Agricultural De partment the assignment of an army of ficer for this duty would require a spe cial order from the,Secretary of War and approval by the President. Secretary Morton, when asked about the removal of Prof. Harrington this evening, said: “That is a matter that belongs jro perly to the White House. Prof. Har rington’s commission bears the name of the President of the United States aud not of the Secretary of Agriculture and if there is anything to be stated in re gard to his position it must come from the White House. I have nothing what ever to say upon the subject. You wi have to see Mr. Pruden, the acting pri vate Secretary at the White House. Until some official announcement is made f the White House, I havt no commu * otn lion to Jf.ike. Mr Clock is acting under the law.” chief It is noticed that ihe Weekly Prop Bulletin issued to dry is signed “Jas. R. Cook, A* C. at of Weather Bu reau.” Mr. Oo i is Chief Olerk. Major H. H. C. Dunwoody, United States Army, has for some time t>eeu specifically as signed as Assistant Chief. When Executive Secretary Pruden was asked for the White House end of tho story, Ire said he had no authority to make any statement whatever, and that until he had some authorization from the Secretary of Agriculture or the President, he could not say auything whatever. He said, however, that he knew that no one had been appointed as Chief of the Weather Bureau to succeed Mr. Harrington. It was said to night that Maj Dun woody, under the law, eanuot be made Chief of the Weather Bureau, as such an appointment would jeopardize his com mission in the army. Should this prove to be the case, it is among the probabili ties that Maj. Dunwoody will ask to be relieved of his detail as Assistant Chief of the Bureau Prof. Harrington was appointed to the head of ihe Weather Bureau at the time it was separated from the Signal Service of the Army and made a bureau in the Agricultural Department in July, 18ftl, so that he served just four years. He came from Ann Arbor, Michigan, whe»e he was a member of the faculty of the University of Michigan. Prof. Harriug tou says he will probably spend the sum mer in Washington ami in tho fall re sume his educational work. Yellow FeVer iu Cuba. Washington, D. 0 , July 2.—A report from the Consul at Santiago de Cuba, just reoeived by the Marine Hospital Service through the State Department, says that in the preceding two weeks there have been nineteen deaths from yellow fever in that city.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 2.—James R. Garfield was nominated by the Repub licans for the State Senate at Warren to day.

A Convention in Denver to Consider the Financial Question. Denver, Col., July 2.— The Demo cratic State convention to consider the financial question met here this morn ing with an attendance of about 100 delegates. Gen. Samuel Brown was chosen chairman in the absence of Mr. Arbuckle, Chairman of the State Com mittee, who declined to attend regarding the calling of the convention now, as ill advised. Mr. Arbuckle is a Federal office-holder. A letter was read from National Com mitteeman Charles S. Thomas, the last Democratic candidate for Governor, sug gesting to the convention that it act wisely and temperately, pass no resolu tions scoring the administration but simply declare for the free coinage of silver. A committee was then appointed, headed by Hon. Caldwell Yeaman’s, and the convention adjourned till this after noon. PENSION AGENCIES SHAKEN UP All the Employe* Soon to he Flared Under Civil Service Rule*. Washington, D. C., July 2.--At the closing of the last fiscal year the em ployes of the pension agencies were classified and the working force adjusted with a view to placing them under the civil service rules which will take away the power of pension agents to appoint their own force. Just when the order bringing the agencies in the classified service will be signed by the President is not known but a prominent depart ment officer said today it would be at an early date. The shaking up in the agencies has re sulted in some dismissals and reductions in salaries with corresponding increases. There are eighteen pension agencies throughout the country, each employing from 10 to 40 clerks, whose aggregate salaries amount to $439,000 a year. BASEBALL YESTERDAY.
