ZIG-ZAG LINNEY TALKS
SAYS IF FUSION CONTINUES
NORTH CAROLINA IS SAFELY
REPUBLICAN.
TO PENSION EX-CONFEDERATES
Tom Settle Says He Has Twenty
Thousand Constituents who 'taut
an Office--Is Tom Biuffiog toTn.de
for Some Small Job?—Thinks Reed
Is Sure to Carr* the North C ro «na
Delegation—A Republican Caucus
will Probably be held Saturday.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—(Special.)
Hon. R. Z. Linney, of Taylorsville,
arrived in Washington yesterday. He
has s'eeured quarters at Metropolitan
Hotel, and will remain here for the
opening - of Congress. Mr. Linney was
in his room at the hotel all this morn
ing with ...r. Fortune, who is a candi
date for door-keeper of the House. Mr.
Linney says that he and the entire Re
publican delegation from North Caro
lina will support Mr. Fortune, and
thinks he has good chances of election.
In case Mr. Fortune is not elected Mr.
Linney says he is for the other South
ern candidate, Mr. Tipton, of Tennes
see.
“The people of Western North Car
olina have an abundant harvest, espe
cially of corn, but money is scarce,”
says Mr. Linney. “Nine tenths of the
people are for silver and believe that
this is the means for increasing the
currency,but they are not for free and
unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio
of 16 to 1. They are for silver, because
it is an American product. They be
lieve in utilizing American products
and nothing more. They are with the
Republican platform in regard to the
money question.” Mr. Linney will not
move his family to Washington. Mr.
Fortune assumed a don’t-eare-to-talk
attitude and was very unconsmnma
tive.
Mr. Linney said Congressman Pear
son would be in Washington to-night,
and a Republican caucus will proba
• u.y oe held Saturday night. Mr. Lin
ney classes himself as a Republican.
He says he thinks the Republican and
Populist coalition will hold together,
and adds, talking to a Post reporter:
“Then, again, the Populists in our
section are about as earnest believers
in the cause of protection as are the
Republicans. I will admit that we are
not so thoroughly united on the silver
issue, but on that question there is a
difference of sentiment even within
party lines. The greatest argument
la favor or a continued Repubilcan-
Populist alliance is to keep the Demo
crats from again getting control of the
election machinery and to prevent
them from carrying out plans of dis
franchisement, such as they have
adopted in Mississippi, in order to per
petuate themselves in power. We
i«t going to risk the enactment of
such a system if we can help it. if the
fusion is kept up, as I believe it will
be, North Carolina is about as certain
to give its electoral vote to the Repub
licans next year as Pennsylvania.”
The Salvstion Army is moving on,
and is getting on in the world. One
of the members of the new congress is
Cyrus A. SulloWay, of New Hamp
shire, who has been a Democrat, a
Green backer, and is now a Republican.
In Ins youth he was noted as a county
fair fighter and wrestler, but he gave
that up to practice law. Then he
joined the Salvation Army, married a
Salvation lassie who had the rank of
Captain. He is full of himself; will
uie if he cannot make himself heard,
and it is altogether probable that he
will make one or more speeches to the
gallery and then g}> into inoeuous
v esuetude.
Congressman Otey, of Lynchburg,
will introduce his much-talked of bill
to help the confederate soldiers as
soon us Congress meets. The bill pro
jxises that assistance be given to dis
abled ex-confederate soldiers out of
the restoration of property seized and
carried off or consumed by the armies
of the States during the prose
cution of t* and for which no re
turns have \ *%*qj made.
The bill * ’ v V*pit the war for
the preservation * : %pn resulted
in the destruction o. millions of
dollars worth of propei.. 2t the im
poverishment of the South,4n people,
ami among these people were left and
still remain many men who were dis
abled and rendered dependent; and
whereas the forces of the United States
captured from the people of the Con
federate States, non-combatants and
others, abandoned property, which
was sola arid covered into the treasury
of the United States, amounting to $27,-
000,000, and, if nterest were allowed,
prolrubly reaching $50,000,000. it is pro
po&ed that at least this $27,000,000
should be utilized for the relief of the
disabled and dependent Confederate
veterans.
To this end the enacting clause of
the bill declares that there should be
appropriated from the treasury of the
United States, out of any money not
appropriated, £i sum not to exceed 5
per centum per annum on $27,000,000,
which has been covered into the treas
ury as the proceeds of sales and profits
of what is known as captured and a
bandoned property, to be applied for
n,e lienetit of ihe disabled and depend
ent ex-Confederate soldiers in propor
tion as each State of the late Confed
erate States may appropriate and ex
pend for the same purpose.
After such appropriation shall have
been made, payment of the money is
to be regulated according to a state
ment w hich is to be made to the Treas
urer of the United States by the Gov
enor of each, or any of the late Con
federate States, setting forth that a
certain amount has been appropriated
and expended from the treasury of
said State, the year next preceding, for
soldiers’ homes and their support, arti
ficial limbs, and the maintenance and
support of disabled and dependent e\-
Confederate soldiers or their w idows,
accompanied with a sworn statement
of the proper disbursing officer, giving
the names of those to whom aid has
been furnished and the amount to each,
aim the amount expended on soldiers
homes and their support. Upon this
basis the Treasurer shall pay to such
Governor the amount shown to have
been so expended by the said State or
States, and these payments shall go
on from year to year so long as any
shell disabled and dependent Southern
soldiers shall survive, or any money ol
the appropriation shall remain.
“I have twenty thousand constitu
ents who want office under the organ
ization of the next house, and each
will hold me responsible for the fail
ure of the Republicans to recognize
the south.” Thus spoke Tom Settle
after going the rounds of the Head
quarters to set* if there was a chance
for a Southerner to get an office in the
reorganization of the House. State
Senator Fortune found out the South
wasn’t in it and returned home after
staying here a day or two.
He refused to listen to tin* argu
ments which proclaim Ren Russell, of
Missouri, as a Southern man. The
Southeast repudiates the old border
states, and moreover, as Tom Settle
says:
“Russell may get an office if his state
goes through, but then there may be a
new shuffle and a new slate formed
without any southern roan on it. Ken
tucky, Tennessee and North Carolina
ueserve recognition, but they will get
nothing. How can we hope to get
Georgia and Mississippi for the grand
ox! party, when their Confederate al
lies get nothing.”
“I am for Mr. Reed,” said Mr. Settle,
speaking of the Presidential race, “and
1 believe that my State will send a
solid Reed delegation to the next Na
tional Convention. Governor McKinley
has many friends in my State, but not
enough io prevent the election of Reed
delegates.”
Hon. ,7. Sterling Morton “has broke
loose again”, as a gentleman said yes
terday. Here is his latest: “Why
should President Cleveland be opposed
to a t-hl.nl term any more than a bank
president. This is not stating that
President Cleveland is a candidate for
a third term, for as to that, no one
knows but himself.
" The talk of a third term has been
confined only to newspapers, and there
is no one who can say he ever heard Mr.
Cleveland give an . expression on the
stit>jeet. f am not in a position to state
whether Mr. Cleveland will be a candi
date or not. There is one Hiiisg ! can
say, however, the management of the
government is a business, as - is the
management of a bank.
“In a bank, the business is entirely
confined to the management of the tin
■aices of many people. If a bank pres
proven himself competent
and faithful, he is re-elected, not only
once or twice, but dozens of times. The
business of a government is that of
managing and preserving the interests
of the jieople of a nation, and maintain*
ing life, liberty and property, and if a
bank president is elected many times,
why should it not oe so with the Pres
ident of the United States?”

KILLED BY A SHERIFF
A DESPERATE CONVICT BITES
THE DUST IN WAYNE
COUNTY.
A SUNDAY MORNING TRAGEDY
Sheriff' Scott Shoots Jesse Ituuii in
Self-defense— Bunn’s Son Assisted
Him in Escaping From Jail and He
Repeat* dly Defied the Officers of
the Low--When Shot He was Riding
A long the Road With Mis Wife—l he
Sheriff Fully Exonerated.
GOLDSBORO, N. C., Nov. 25.—(Spe
cial.)- At the September term of
Wayne County Superior Court Jesse
W. Bunn, a notorious white man, wide
ly known and feared throughout the
county, was convicted of a criminal of
fense of an incestuous nature, and sen
tenced to twelve months’ imprison
ment in the county jail. He was ac
cordingly duly imprisoned in the jail.
Soon afterwards his son, Joe Bunn,
visited him in the jail and surrepti
tiously conveyed to him a file, and
within a few days thereafter, and when
only about ten days of his sentence
had been served, Bunn filed his way out
and made good his escape at night,
carrying another prisoner with him.
Sheriff Scott made several attempts
to surround Bunn with a posse, but
without- effect.
But as the days rolled on Bunn grew
bolder, and finally the sheriff saw that
any attempt to surround him with a
posse would result in the death of
some of his men, and rather than jeop
ardize their lives he determined to
cope with him alone. And when this
conviction was formed in his mind,
brave man that he is. he went forth
Saturday night alone in his buggy to
the Bunn neighborhood, and with tin*
dawning of Sunday morning he began
reeonnoitering the approaches to
Bunn's house.
He spent aii Ihe morning driving the
roads in tin* vicinity, and about 12
o’clock he learned that his man had
recently passed a certain locality, and
giving rein to his horse he came into
the public road and discovered Butt
some distance ahead of him and fol
lowed by his son Joe and wife in a
cart. The sheriff drove rapidly for
ward and passed .foe Bunn, thus sand
wiching himself between father and
son. and bore down upon Jesse, but
the latter, turning, looked back ami
saw the sheriff and immediately drop
ped his* reins and grabbed his gun.
Sheriff Scott called to him to snr u.w—
--(b r. hut his only reply was a pgjmfbftcnt.
effort to get his gun levelled on the lat
ter, who, from his buggy, calmly
watched the gun of Bun.i as it came
*m and on round to a deadly aim. and
then the sheriff fired, liut not an in
stant too soon.
Bunn returned the Ire, and then
dropping his gun grabbed his pistol,
but fell back “lead before he could use
it. the pistol falling from his hand in
Hie road; some 30 or 70 feet from where
the gun fell. Bunn’s feet in falling
got caught in the springs of the road
‘•art and his body hung dangling head
downward.
The sheriff got out of his buggy and
running forward caught Bunn’s mule
and immediately said, “Mrs. Bunn did
I hit you?”
She replied, “No I am not hit.”
“ f’hank God for that.” said the brave
sheriff, and handing ner the reins he
extricated Bunn’s body and rolled it
over to the roadside-.
My this time Joe Bunn and his wife
had come up and Sheriff Scott walk
iug up to him and shaking his finger
gravely in his face said to him, “Joe
Bunn there lies your father dead. I
k-lled him. I had it to do, and von are
responsible for his death. If you had
not carried him that file and aided him
in breaking jail he would not now be
lying- dead here before yon.”
It was a tragic scene terrible in its
fearful reality and appalling truth and
Joe Bunn sank down under it and
wept bitterly.
Ihe news spread rapidly through
out the neighborhood and the quiet,
rural Sunday was changed into a day
of public gathering. In the meantime
.Sheriff Scott, having appointed guards
over the body and Bunn’s weapons,
came on to Goldsboro and gave himself
over to the coroner, Dr. Thos. Hill, re
porting what had occurred. Dr. Hill
immediately summoned a jury of in
quest and proceeded to the scene
where tin* jury were impanelled and
the body of Bunn examined. It wa -
found that but one ball struck him, a
38-calibre,, in tin* vicinity of tie* kid
neys. A number of loaded shells and
cartridges were found in Bunn’s pock
ets. The examination of witnesses was
then begun and was concluded in this
eify at noon to-dav, when the follow
ing verdict was rendered:
“We, tin* jury after hearing the evi
dence, agree to bring in the following
verdict: That. Jesse W. Bunn, an es
caped convict from th. county jail,
value to his death from a pistol shot
inflicted by Sheriff B. F. Scott, of
Wayne county, while attempting to
arrest the said Jesse W. Bunn and
while Bunn was resisting arrest, and
that it was in the proper execution of
his office in upholding the law of the
land and his necessary seif defense.
“(Signed.) Robt. Hicks, L. B. Bass,
Jno. 11. Hill, J. F. Norman, Jno. T,
Ginn, J. W. Lamb, jury.
“Certified to by the coroner.”
The entire law-loving public of the
county endorse Sheriff Scott’s action,
admire his bravery and applaud his
heroic purpose to do his duty or die.
Iu the hands of such a sheriff Wayne
county need have no further fear of
lawless men.
TERRIBLE TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
A Brooklyn Pugilist Kills his two
Children and Suicides.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2a. —Herman Hat
tenhaft, physical instructor, killed his
two children and himself in Brooklyn
yesterday. He lived in Greene avenue
with his w ife and two children, the lat
ter very young.
Hattenhaft went out in the town,
tali r the children with him. When
h** had not returned at midnight his
wife started out to look for the three.
The doors of flu* gymnasium where
Hattenhaft was employed were found
locked and ware battered in by tin*
police. They found father and child
ren lying dead. The two children had
been shot and killed by their father
who then shot himself.
The bodies were cold and Ike pre
sumption is that the triple tragedy oc
curred during the afternoon. Hatten
haft had been despondent for some
time, probably because of business
troubles.
Twelve years ago lie was a pugilist
and w as well-known in Brooklyn as an
athlete. He was at one time the in
structor in the Brooklyn Athletic
Club.
The bodies of the two children were
found in a closet used for vapor baths,
where the little ones had been playing
while* living, probably having been
first made insensible with chloroform.
Into the box a tube connecting with
the gas pipe was inserted. The child
ren had died of asphyxiation. The w ife
and mother is so prostrated with the
grief that it is feared that she cannot
recover.Mrs.Hattenhaft said that there
spebs. Mrs. Hattenhaft said that there
had been no domestic difficulty be
fcween herself and her husband and
that she thought he must have become
temporarily deranged over business
troubles, of which she had heard him
S|M*ak on several occasions. So far as
she knew, however, he had never
threatened to take his life, or do bodi
ly harm to any member of the family.
Hattenhaft, although an ex-pugilist,
bore a good name.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 24, via
Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 25. -From what
can be learned here it would seem that
the situation in Anatolia appears to be
much more tranquil than for some
time past and there is no doubt that
efforts are being made to maintain
order in the districts where distur
bances are threatened and t o suppress
disorders where outbreaks have oc
curred.
All danger is not passed, however,
even in Anatolia. The governor ol

the convent there and to set tire to the
barley fields in the vicinity has. ow ing
to the strong representations made to
the Porte on th** subject by Mr.Terreil.
been recalled and bis conduct will be
inquired into.
The members of the American colon;
as well as the other foreign resident:
of this city and vicinity join in prais
ing the energetic and effective action
of Mr. Terrell under very trying cir
cumstances. There seems to lie no
reason for doubting that his reps
sentations to the Porte have been tin
means ot saving American lives ;
protecting American property.
The quest ion now being discussed
between the Porte and the represent;:
fives of the powers is that of adding
four extra gunroships to the Id,
fleets in the Bosphorus, Great Brita <
Italy. France and Russia demanding
permission to puss through Die D. ,
dandles with an extra gunboat to

Although the demands were made o*
a week ago, on the ground that the ior
eign population of Constantino; i
needed this additional protection.’! h ■
Sultan still holds out in his refusal
grant the required permission.
From the highest authority 1
Associated Press is enabled to give G.<
view of the case taken by the 1 urk.;
government. It is as follows:
While admitting that the povv* »
I K>Bsess the treaty right to have t . ■
guard-ships in the Bosphorus, t>...
Porte considers that tin* proposed
crease of the number of foreign v;
vessels there, under the prsent condi
tion of things in tin* Turkish emp:
might excite the Mussulmans ami pro
duce an effect far from the one desir*
by t h powers.
In addition, the Porte points o
that, in view of the measures taken •
preserve order here, an increase in t ! -
number of guard-ships attached to tin
embassies is not required. The a!
sence of news from Zeitoun, which the
Armenians are still said to be holding
in strong force, and the failure of sev
eral days to furnish any information
regarding the concentration of Turk
ish troops at Marash for the advance
on Zeitoun, is causing some uneasi
ness.
Besides, no news is obtainable con
cerning the rising of the Druses
against Turkish rule, one of the rnosi
serious features of the whole situa
tion.
The financial situation continues to
hamper the government in its efforts
to restore order in Asiatic Turkey, and
there does not seem to be any prospect
of real relief in any direction.

—Saturday night at 8 o’clock on one of
principal streets here, about forty
yards from J. W. Chapin's gate,
and tin* same distance from his own,
some one shot down John B. Bonner,
killing him, it is supposed, instantly,

of going in after the family had retired *
and he w as supposed to he in bed until
called this morning. ll*> was shot in
tin* left siih*. the ball passing through
the body. The other shot was in the
forehead, making a wound as large as
a silver dollar. He was picked tip and
thrown over the fence in the weeds.
He is a man w ith a host of friends and
the shook to the community is great.
There is no suspicion on any one yet.
Blood-hounds have been sent for and
everything will be done to catch the *
guilty parlies. )
Tracks were found leading from the
body towards the creek, livery tiling
valuable was taken from the body
with the exception of a ring.
Mr. Bonner was engaged in the bank

vestryman in the Episcopal church. He
was worth considerable property, and
did much for the advancement* of his
part of the country. He leaves nine
children.
Mr. Bonner’s wife was a niece of 11

This is the second murder to occur
in that part of the country this year,
