Special to the News and Observer. • Salisbury, N. C., July 25. The condemned negroes, Whit Feiraud and Anderson Brown, who were in jail here awaiting the death penalty, were publicly executed shortly before noon to day. An immense crowd, estimated be tween five and ten thousand people, wit nessed the hanging. All the morning the streets were alive with living, moving, surging humanity. No such crowd has ever assembled iu Salisbury before as was here to day to see the two criminals thrown iuto eter nity. At about 10:30 o’clock Sheriff Monroe, left the jail with the prisoners. The {iroeession moved up Main street, fol owed by the hydra headed throng, a detachment of Col. Chas. F. Fisher Camp, No. 31, United Confederate Vet erans, acting as guard. Reaching the gallows, a mile and a quarter from the court house, near the Concord road at about 11:20 o’clock, the criminals were led upon the scaffold, making no demon stration and showing little or no fear. Both made brief talks, thanking Sheriff Monroe for the kindness shovru them while in jail, and bidding friends good bye. By invitation Sheriff Smith, of Meck lenburg; Sheriff White, of Iredell; Jehu A. Anderson, of the Charlotte News, j and several reporters ot the Daily Her aid were on the scaffold for a short while with the prisoners and bade them good bye. At 11:45 the drop fell and the bodies of the two men were swinging between heaven and eafth. The fall, five feet ten inches, broke their necks and death resulted with scarcely a struggle. In exactly eighteen and a half minutes the negroes were pronounced dead by at tending physicians. The bodies were turned over to rela tives for burial. Ferrand will be buried near his home in the upper part of this county, Brown near town. The crowd was orderly and quiet. It was the first doable hanging in Rowan since 1830. Both of them confessed their crimes. Anderson Brown’s Crime. On the night of March 2, 1895, Brown in a fit of jealousy entered the house of Callie Roberts, his mistress, and finding her in bed, put a pistol to her breast and fired the fatal shot, which caused her death in a few days. He quietly left the house and next morning when arrested by a policeman was at work. He said iu bis confession, “I aud the woman, who was 23 years old, had a fuss; it end ed in a shot of a pistol. Her sister urged her to do what she did. lam sorry it happened. I thought much of her. I asked her, though, to let me out and she would not. ‘‘l don't say that I should not be Sunishtd but I say this, it ought to have een known to everybody what the cause of the trouble was. The question was not asked how it camp on. I was asked if I wanted to say anything after I was sentenced but I did not say anything. No one seemed to want full particulars of the matter, so no one knows. A man should Lave known full particulars when he goes to have one killed on hearsay.” Anderson was placed in jail and at May term of Superior Court was tried, found guilty and sentenced by Judge Brown to be hanged to-day. While iu jail he was as gentle and quiet as a child, meekly awaiting the awful day Last Sunday he was baptized and received into the Methodist Church. He expressed his willingness to meet his God. Ferrand’s Bloody Deed. The crime of Ferrand was more sen sational. It was committed five months ago last Saturday, near Cleveland, in Rowan A warrant, chargiug several negroes with disturbing the neighbor hood. was issued. Deputy Sheriff H. C Owen deputized three men to find the negroes. Three of the men were arrested without trouble in their camp. Ferrand ran. One deputy took the three prisoners back to Cleveland and the others wtnt in search of Frrraud. Deputy Webb came upon him and Fer rand advanced as though to surrender, but, instead, jumped on Webb, wrenched bis gun from him and shot him in the wrist with a pistol. Webb was allowed to walk away, Ferrand keeping the gun and pistol. Some time afterwards two officers came upon Ferrand behind a tree. He snapped his gun at them and they ad vanced, firing at him. One load took effect in his face. Deputy Owen came up with another officer and stopped the firing. He called to Ferrand to surren der. This he refused to do, but he finally agreed to surrender aud said he would not shoot unless shot at. Owen ad vanced. Ferrand raised his gun and fired one barrel. The shot entered <) wen’s bi e&st. Lie placed bis hand on his breast but continued to advance towards Ferrand ami attempted to catch him with the other hand, but fell to tlie ground and expired immediately. As Owen fell Ferrand struck at him with the gun aud then jumped ou him. The other officers rushed up, pulled him off the dead man and tied him securely. There was talk of lynching, but the sheriff and his deputies kept off the frenzied men and saved the prisoner from h rra. He was taken in a round about way to Lexington and placed in jail. He Vas brought to Salisbury sev eral weeks afterwards. At May term of court he was sentenced to be hanged. AN EXECUTION IN RICHMOND. Phillip Norman Nicholas Hanged for a Double Murder. Richmond, Va., July 25.-—Phillip Nor man Nicholas, the murderer of James Mills and William J. Wilkerson, was hanged here this morning. The drop fell at 10:06 and his neck whs broken. Nicholas was confirmed as a member of the Catholic Church this morning at 6 o’clock in his cell by Bishop Van Dev yer, aud mass was celebrated there. He evidently took much comfort from this. He was attended on the scaffold by Fathei Wilbers but made no statement and was absolutely cool to the last with out any bravado. Very few persons witnessed the execution. Nicholas was an unmarried man and lived in a house occupied by James Mills, w r ith whose wife he had for some time been intimate, and in consequence there was much bad blood between the men. The crime was rather peculiar. Nich olas persuaded Mills aud Wilkerson to accompany him in a boat across James river to secure a bee tree. They de murred at first, as they could not swim. On their way over, the boat filled with water and sank, drowning Mills and Wilkerson. On examination it was found that there were two augur holes in the boat, where none had teen the day be fore, corresponding in size to an augur belonging to Nicholas. Later on two corn cobs were, found floating in the river which fitted the holes. Suspicion pointed strongly to Nicho las, who, on several occasions, told dif ferent tales, and it was remembered that he bad several nines threatened Mills’ life. On the 10th of December, 1892, be v/as arrested and lodged in the Henrico county jail, and subsequently convicted of the crime. The same scaffold was u:-ed upon which three negroes a short time ago were executed. MADISON’S NEW COTTON MILL. Fifteen Thousand Spindles Will Be Operated and 800 Hands Employed. Special to the News and Observer. Winston, N. C., July 25. The $300,000 cotton mill to be estab lished at Mayodan, near Madison, will be an immense enterprise. Col. F. H. Fries, President of the company, has gone North to purchase the machinery for the mill Timbers are being gotten out now for the large dam which will extend clear across the river. It will be made sufficient to develop the entire water power of the Dan at that point. The contract for the brick has been let, and they are now being made on the ground. The building will be 79 by 300 feet, and the mills will operate fifteen thousand spindles at first. The com pany will employ 800 hands, and the parties interested predict that ta less than one year’s time Mayodan will have a population of 1,200 people. Tenement houses are now being built for the em ployees. The Union Sunday School excursion of colored people, from Greensboro to Minston, on Monday, got into trouble on their return home. When the train reached Walnut Cove the Railroad Com pauy made a demand for payment of ex cess of passengers, the contract stipu lating that all passengers over sixty to a coach were to be paid for extra. This made the excess several dollars. After a time the train ran on to Summer field where it was again side-tracked until the excess money was paid. The North Wilkesboro Land Company sold $18,191 worth of lots at their sale yesterday. The managers lost sls on the excursion to Wilkes. The train cost $225. Two of Winston’s Methodist Sunday schools contemplate running an excur sion to the Guilford Battle Ground in August. A beautiful site has been purchased on Columoian Heights, east of Salem, for the new Slater Industrial Academy, to be built at once by colored people. It will be a $5,000 brick structuie. One of Winston’s well-knowu young men was trivd before Mayor Gray last evening on the charge of running a gambling house in the heart of the city. He was bound over to the Superior Court in a bond of SIOO, which he gave. Two other young men are to be tried for the same offence before the Mayor next Saturday. The revival meeting at Bioad Street Baptist church has closed. Rev. J. H. Lambeth, of Mt. Airy, returned home last night. The Winston-Salem delegates to the Christian Endeavor convention, at Bos ton, returned home yesterday. The sale of the Hotel Phoenix furni ture, which was announced to take place yesterday, was postponed until to morrow. Supreme Tribunal us the K. of P.

Scofield Returns. Washington, D. 0., July 25.—Gen. Vincent, acting Adjutant General, has received a telegram from Brigadier Gen eral Coppinger, saying he has ordered four troops of cavalry at Fort Robinson, Neb., to proceed at once to the scene of the disturbance at Jackson Hole, and that he will go there in person to inves tigate the situation and oondact the military operations. Fort Robinson is the nearest available cavalry station. Forts Russell and Washakie are gar risoned with infantry. As foot troops are not of great service in an Indian campaign, it is not believed that the latter will be called into action. Commissioner of Indian Affairs Browning has forwarded a dispatch to Agent Teter to Fort Hall Agency in structing him to order the Indians now on the war path to return to their reser vation quietly and peaceably before the military detachment ordered to the scene of the trouble reaches there, and the commissioner says he wants it un derstood that he advises the Indians as a friend, desirous of their test interest and welfare. Agent Teter sent a reply, stating that he had sent trustworthy Indians to de liver the message to the Bannocks in the field. Twenty While Men Killed. Chicago, July 25.—A special from Boise City. Idaho, says: A mail driver at Market Lane reports that a courier has arrived at Boxburg, Idaho, from Jackson Hole with a report that a fight occurred Tuesday evening and twenty white men were killed. If true, it is strange the courier has not yet appeared here, as the driver says he was bound for this point to telegraph for help. There is no way of verifying the rumor. Troops on the Way. Denver, Col., July 25. —A special from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: Governor Richards was advised to day by Adjutant General Stitzer, who is at Market Lake, that there are no new de velopments in the Indian situation at Jackson Hole. General Coppinger has requested Major Reynolds of the Eighth Infantry at Fort Russell, to accompany the expedition. Fifty-three pack mules and six packers will join the Fort Robin son troops who are expected to pass here to-night. Gen. Schofield Returns to Washington. Chicago, 111., July 25.—Lieutenant General Schofield returned to Washing ton this afternoon.

HAS HE GONE TO EUROPE? Miliken Ha* Disappeared and Detect ives are Trying to Find Him. Special to the News and Observer. Washington, D. G., July 25. A second warrant was to day issued for Benjamin H. Miliken for house breaking and assault upon Miss Gertrude Phillips. Judge Phillips says he will bring the man to trial at any cost and that there never has been any under standing .between himself and Miliken’s family that he would not urge prosecu tion. The authorities have sent out pho tographs aud descriptions of Miliken to every large city so as to have him arrest ed if he can be found. It was reported to day that Miliken sailed for Europe three days after the affair occurred, but his brother still says he will appear for trial when the time comes. Mr. Walter W.

Baltimore, Md., July 25.—Reports to the Manufacturers’ Record show a large increase in the traffic of southern rail ways, especially those in the coal and iron regions. The Alabama Car Asso ciation reports having handled nearly 21,000 cars in June, against 12,000 in June of last year. The improvement in railroad affairs is bringing to the front a large number of railroad extensions of existing systems, aud also quite a num ber of short lines, which are being orga nized in many parts of the South, every State being represented. The number of cotton mills organized for the week is even 'larger than usual, and includes two mills to cost $200,000 each at Greensboro, N. C., and two more being worked up at the same place, but not yet definitely assured; a $200,000 mill at Lumberton, N. C.; a SIOO,OOO mill at Tocea, Ga.; an increase in capi tal of over $200,000 for the enlargement of a Tennessee mill; a $60,000 mill com pany at Salisbury, N.

THE MASSEY-PILOT SUIT. People Crowd the Court Room to Hear Capt. John S. Wise. Norfolk, Va., July 25. —Capt. John S. Wise occupied nearly the entire time of the City Circuit Court to-day in argu ing the evidence in the Massey-Pilot libel suit. A tremendous crowd w T as out and it required the combined efforts of the en tire force of deputy sheriffs to keep the people from jambing each other to the point of Injury, and interfering with order and decorum ib their efforts to get iuto the building. Capt. Wise spoke for nearly five hours, beginning with an excoriation of the plaintiff, said by old attorneys to be the most scathing they ever heard to fall from human lips. He took the evidence up and argued it in detail, denouncing Mr. Massey’s statements as to his in comes as bare faced lies. The argument is pronounced by friend and foe of the parties to the suit to have been masterly. The peroration was a magnificent flight of oratory, the crowd finding it difficult to keep from applaud ing the orator’s tribute to Virginia and to Virginians. There is a suspicion that cannot be verified, that Mr. Massey will himself make his own argument. HAS BOUGHT ANOTHER ROAD. The Atlantic and Danville Passes into the Hands ot the Southern. Norfolk, Va., July 25.—1 t is reported here that at Old Point Thursday after noon a deal was consummated by which the Atlantic and Danville Railroad passed into the control cf the Sounthern Railway.

SILVER IN ENGLAND THE BIMETALLISTS ARE HAPPY OVER THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION. THE DELEGATES WERE PLEDGED. The Complexion of the New Parlia ment Shows Increased Friendship for the Views of the Bi-Metallists—Sir William Harcourt’s Course on the Financial Question the Cause ot the Liberal Defeat—The Cause of Silver Gaining Ground Rapidly. London, July 25. -The Times pub lishes a column letter from Mr. Bertram Curtis, President of the Gold Standard Defence Association, and a member of the firm of Glyn, Mills, Currie & Com pany, in reply to the statements made by Mr. Henry C. Gibbs, a director of the Bank of England, and President of the British Bi-Metallic League, in the Times of July 13, controverting the arguments made in the manifesto of the Gold De fence Association. Mr. Currie says in spite of time and labor spent in the controversy, the Bi-Metallic League is still silent as to any specific plan in which the bi-metallic theory is to be remedied, as to the pro posed ratio, as to the methods of en forcing the ratio, or as to the conse quences which would follow its estab lishment. Summing up the situation from this standpoint, Mr. Currie said: “The bi metallists are enthusiastic, ill advised agitators, instead of practical reform ers”. The Bi Metallic League has shown in creased activity during the past week. Its committee has been in constant ses sion since Monday. The league now oc cupies large offices in Cornhill, and its members are all delighted with the re sult of the general elections. The bi metallists had workers in every district and iu Wales. They circulated eight feet posters stating the nature of their propaganda, and especially pointing out the attitude of Sir William Vernon Har court, the ex Chancellor of Exchequer, on the question. All these posters were printed in Welsh. Secretary McNeill, talking over the situation with a representative of the Associated Press said that most of the Conservative delegates were pledged to bi-metallic principles before accepting the nomination. He added: “The com plexion of the new Parliament shows in creased friendship for our views. In Wales, they have hitherto not understood the difference between monometallism and bi-metallism and have been wont to accept Harcourt’s views as law and gospel. Let me tell yotCsir, William Ver non Harcourt is the individual who is responsible for the defeat of th9 Literals. His ideas were narrow and bigotted and it is generally conceded that he is not a financier. You may state as a fact that he has relied during his occupancy of the exchequer upon the financial views of a banker, Mr. Monta gue. When the cause was presented last February, Sir William Harcourt was its most determined enemy in the Cabinet. It is a significant fact that Mr. Shaw Lefevere, the late President of the local government board, publishes as the prin cipal reason for his defeat that many of the voters in his constituency withheld their support owing to his hostility to bi-metallism. “The cause is gaining great ground in England. We lost a few Liberal friends; but this has been more than equalled by great Tory gains.” How the Parties Stand. London, July 25. —At 4 o’clock this afternoon the various political parties had elected to Parliament the following numbers of representatives: Conserva tives, 330; Unionists, 62; Government Total, 302; Literals, 153; McOarthyites, 62; Parnellites, 10; Labor, 2. Opposition total, 227. Grand total, 619 Net Un ionist gams, 32. ADDRESS TO THE SILVERITEB. Restoration of the White Metal Can Only Come Through the Democrats. Denver, Col., July 25.—As a result of the recent Democratic State Convention, an address will bo issued by a committee appointed for the purpose of appealing to the Democrats to get together and re organize. The address asserts that a vast majority of the advocates of bi metallism are Democrats and that the restoration of silver can come only through the agency of the Democratic party. No Convention in Oregon. Portland, Ore., July 25.—The Demo cratic State Central Committee will not call a convention to take action on the silver question. Secretary H. Davis has received replies to his circular from the chairman of seventeen county commit tees who are opposed to such a course. This is a majority of the county commit tees. NEGROES SICK AND STARVING. Sickeuing and Fatal Destruction Among the Colony in Mexico. Denver, Col., July 25. — A special from El Paso, Texas, says: Parties from Mexico to-day report sickening fatal destitution among the negro colony near Mapimi. Os two hun dred, who escaped and scattered iu groups, all are but starved. Os 400 or 500 left in the colony, 100 have small pox. Fugutives are shunned by Mexi cans and driven from settlements. There is frightful mortality among them. PRICE FIVE CENTS. THE HOLMES CIIARNEL HOUSE. New Victims of this Fiend are Being Daily Discovered. Chicago, July 25.—The Holmes char nel house yielded new horrors to-day. Several more bones and a small piece of dress goods have teen found there. The discovery was made when the search was resumed in the basement of the Holmes’ premises this morning. One of the bones found was a shoulder blade, evidently that of an adult, while the other, a socket bone, was smaller and appeared to be that of a child. The police by the discovery to day, were confirmed iu their belief that the skeletons being uncovered are those of the missing, Mrs. Connor and her daughter Pearl. •* Mrs. Patrick Quinlan, wife of Holmes’ ex-janitor was found by the police and given a severe cross examination. She had teen reported as missing, but de clared that she had made no attempt to hide herself. What evidence she was able to give against Holmes, the police refused to say, and Mrs. Quinlan had evidently teen instructed by the detec tives to maintain strict silence regarding the case. The story that Quinlau’s 11 year-old daughter had teen murdered by Holmes was disposed of to-day when Mrs. W. L. Doyle called at the police headquarters and declared that the girl was with her father’s parents ten miles from South Ha ven, Mich. Mrs. Doyle said that her mother owned the house in Toronto in which the bodies of the Pietzel children were found. It is evident that through Mrs. Doyle the police have learned of another of Holmes’ alleged victims who had not heretofore teen heard of. In talking to a reporter, Mrs. Doyle said that one of the prettiest of the women who ever came under Holmes’ influence is also missing. “Her name was Miss Cigrand, and she was originally from Indiana,” said Mrs. Doyle, and she was on the point of giv ing further information when the police curtly ordered her to cease talking, and ended the interview. Holmes Wanted in Toronto. Toronto, Ont., July 25.-- The verdict of the coroner’s jury in the case of the Pietzel children, was laid before the At torney General to-day, and proceedings for the extradition of Holmes will be taken at once. Every effort will be made to have Holmes tried in this city. It i« thought here that Toronto’s claim will have precedence with Philadelphia au thorities over those of Chicago. OFFICIALS ARE NOT SURPRISED The Spanish Commander Did Right to Fire Into the Schooner Lane. Washington, D. C., July 25.—The re ported firing on the Carrie E. Lane, an American schooner, by the Spanish cruiser off the Cuban coast, h«s not yet been reported officially to the State De partment, and, in the absence of a defi nite statement of fact, the officials de cline to express an opinion on the sub ject. The important point to be established in this case is the exact location of the Lane when she was signalled to stop. The Captain’s statement is that this was off Cape Antonio, but he does not say whether or not he was within the three mile limit. If he was he could not claim exemption from reloading to a demand to establish his identity, as was contend ed by Secretary Gresham in the Alliancia case, for his was not a vessel following a regular route but one cruising from . port to port in the West Indes. In view of the fact that several filibus tering expeditions have succeeded in landing in Cuba from the coast of Ja maica, and other of the West Indian Is lands, officials here are not surprised that the Spanish commanders should ex ercise every precaution to make sure of the innocent purpose of any small sail ing craft seen hovering about the Cuban coasts, and it is felt that this particular commander acted within his rights if he fired a shot across the bow of the Lane, if she failed to stop when signalled in regular form. The small size and ap pearance of the schooner, it is said, was against her, aud calculated to excite sus picion as to her object. BASEBALL YESTERDAY. At Cleveland: it. h. k.
