C., Xov. 28 —(Special.) The investigation in the Bonner murder was closed Tuesday and the coroner’s jury said that the deceased came to his death by pistol balls fired by Dave Credit*, Uriah Bell, Sherrill I tell and Win. Brantly, Jr., or one of them. They were at once securely tied and hurried away to jail on one of the steamers which run from this point to Washington. It seemed at first that there was no clue, but on close examination the tracks of two of them were found where they crossed the field. The tracks showed that one was lame, and the other had on shoes, both for the same foot. Branth was known to be lame and Oredle was his chum, and upon a warrant sworn out by Moses Fowler, of Washington, a detective, they were arrested. The circumstances al! pointed io their guilt, and Tuesday Crcdie told all. implicating the Bell hoys. They had all been working in the woods, logging, and at night they organned themselves into a hand of robbers. They all took an oath i<> kill and rob and never tell. Credle says Uriah Bell was made captain and all had to obey his orders. A few weeks ago two stores were robbed here. Credle says Uriah Bell worked an hour on one ol the safes and couid not oj-eti it. and heard some riois * and ran away. They had four more on what they called their black list, with John Bonner at the head. They hail the life of Jesse Janies, which was to be their guide, and thev lniast of reading it through many times. Credle is the oldest, about 25, a native of Hyde county; Brantly is 22. a native and citizen of this com munity; Uriah Bell is :M; Sherrill Bell is about 16; both ire from llyde coun ty, but have been in tins comity sev eral years. They arc nephews of the Wahabs, of Hyde. All ure single men. except Brantly who has a wife. Credle says Brantly, Sherri 1 Bell and himself went down below Bonner's house and sat for him; that Uriah Bell was to follow behind Bonner whist ling, which was a sign; says they knocked him down a id threw him over the fence and then shot him, one of them keeping his mouth closed. Credle had no pistol. Brantly and young Bell shot him. Credle and Beil then took everything from his pockets. The Bell boys went back down tin street, w hile the other two crossed the field and went to Brantly s house, where they all met and divided the spoils. Credle savs his hands were bloody and he washed them at Blunt ly's house, Brantly V wife holding down the window curtain to keep any one from seeing. He also says she took the oath with them all. Uriah Bell has been at work for Bonner for a year or more, but was discharged some time ago. This all came am* «? fro it reading “Jesse James.” This closes up tbh terrible tragedy for the present and th«* people think they are blessed by lieing rid of such a gang.

JUDGE lUINSELL NI'EAKS !'lie Republican Hl* w-ont at Metro, politan flail Last Night, The Russellites, the Logites and ol h erites had a meeting last night. It was a cloudy gathering. The darkies had the front scats, Ihc middle seats and nearly all the real seats, and about every other scat was occupied. After some preliminaries tin* chair man introduced Judge Russell. The Gubernatorial aspirant seemed to feel that as a real genuine Russellitc Rally, the meeting was a sort of a fiasco, but made up his mind to make the most of it. He touched along at first what he doubtless thought was :• humorous vein, talking about funerals. But tin* darkies didn't catch the humor and dozens of them proceeded to drop off to sleep. He touched another cord and these that had remained awake proceeded to yell, which for a moment woke up the sleepers. This cord was what the speaker termed Democratic election frauds. The more he talked on this line tin louder the dusky crowd hollowed and when he referred to the Democratic “Drunken Bull pen Scoundrels,” there was not a Sleeping negro left in the hall, but many of them soon dozed off again and woke up only when tin speaker declared that if all the Demo cratic ballot stealers wen put in the |H*nitentiary their legs would Ik* hang ing out at the windows. “The fusion of 1894,” he declared "had saved the State, and as a result northern men and money was coming into the State. “They would not go to South Caro lina, a man that would go to South Carolina with himself or his money would he fool enough to rent a yard it hell for a summer resort.” x tie man who tells you that it is Populists who are disfranchising tin negro in South Carolina is a liar. “They are Democrats, and the man who opposes fusion in North Carolina, you may put him dow n as a hired con sistent Democrat. “Thank God for fusion.” (great yells.) A drummer said at tin* hotel in Ral eigh that he was a Republican, and 1 thunk, and 1 thunk, and 1 thunk.” That drummer a few years ago would no more have said in Raleigh that he was a Republican than he would have stuck his head in a fire.” “Thank God for fusion,”(moreyells.) Jeff Davis died and a woman in Washington draped her house in mourning. I like that woman. * If she wanted to make a fool of herself she had a right to do it. For freedom gives the right to make a fool of yourself if you want to.” “I worshipped Jeff Davis once and went into the army to fight against my country, then 1 made a fool of myself.” But still we are proud of the State ihat sent more soldiers, according to its population than any State in the Union.” We fusionists built that monument to their memory. “But 1 don’t , care w hat you sesesh Democrats say about me. I am glad we got whipped.” “1 have got to say something to get the Democratic papers to abusing me. W’e fusionists havn’t got any daily pa pers, and judging from the election returns we don’t need any. But I tell you I am not happy unless the Demo cratic papers are abusing me.” The speaker then went into the for eign policy of the Cleveland adminis tration, and declared tnat Cleveland had sent a little Bayard from that lit tle Peach orchard, Delaware, w ho goes up to that little she* thing, over there they call a queen, and tells her that he regrets that America has had a Protec tive |W)liey.” Our victory means that Bayard and such as him shall get out.” “Suppose we had a few more years of Cleveland?” “Why I see that Chatham county is earing formore lunatics than ever be fore in its history, who wonders at it. when Cleveland is President?” After Judge Russell concluded, Pat Stewart, J. J. Rogers and other Rad- Pops, ranted for an hour or so and the meeting broke up. Those persons who have been asked to contribute to the Christmas tree of Christ Church Sunday school will kindly send their donations to Miss Marion Haywood, as Mrs. Annie Par ker will be out. of town. Mr. Harvey 15. Jones, a well-known knight of the grip, spent Thanks giving in Raleigh. RALEIGH, N. C.. FR DAY, NOV. 29, 189 . A GREAT GATHERING WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA METHODIST CONFERENCE AT REUIBVILLE BISHOP W.W. DUNCAN PRESIDING The Little Town has Opened Its Hos pitable Hornes and W arm Hearts to the Followers of Wesley---Ilishop Duncan'* two Strong Sermons— Thanksgiving Services— Prcgre** ol Methodism in the Slate During the Past Year— Epworlh League W'oik. REIDSVILLE, X. C., Xov. 28. (Spe cial.) The conference convened at 9 o'clock a. in., November 27th, in the handsome new Methodist church. Reidsville Methodism shows signs of very vigorous life. The church here was organized not more than twenty years ago and now it has a large mem bership of active Christian workers. Their faith is spoken of throughout the bounds of the conference. They have recently completed a new church of beautiful architectual design, which speaks well for their piety and liber ality. The conference is holding its session in this church. Bishop Duncan conducted the open ing worship this morning. The Bishop appears to be in very fine health. He is one of the most forceful and effective men in all the ranks of Southern Methodism. He is an officer of rare executive ability. He looks after all tin* interests of the church. As a preacher he has greatly im pressed the church in North Carolina. He is very popular among North Car., linians Methodist preachers in their confer ence sessions are good singers. Rev. Frank 11. Wood led the singing and there was a volume of song that sound ed like the voice of many waters. The prayer by the Bishop was very comprehensive and full of tender ness. When he thanked the Lord that He had made the Methodists “as the stars of heaven for multitude,” there was a hearty “amen” that went up from the kneeling preachers. I’he Bishop read as a scripture lesson Luke 22: 1-38. His comments were exceedingly hap py and pointed. Among other things the Bishop said: “I thank God tluit 1 live in these times instead of in the former times. “There is a great deal of mean lies.- in the world to-day, and yet the world* is better than it ever was before. “One of the twelve disciples betrayed the Lord with a kiss, and there was a contention among the others as to who was the greatest of the eleven that were left.” “Brethren, Satan desires to have each one of us in his sifter, as hr* had Peter. Oh, how comforting it is to know that the Lord is praying for ns that our faith fail not.” ”1 dined at Saratoga last summer in ■i room where millions of dollars sat down at the table. “They were served by young men who are students at some of the lead ing colleges of America,trying to work their way to an education. Who were the greater, those aspiring young men >r those red-faced millionaires, fatten ing like oxen in the stalls? “If von had dumped the whole of those millionaires in a gully in New York the world would never have missed them.” “The men that are the most valuable to God in humanity are the men that ire serving. “I wish you till would send some of your old skeleton sermons to the bone yard or to a phosphate mill, if there is any fertilizing property in them. At the close of the Bishop’s remarks Dr. Craw ford, the pastor of the church, spoke a few fitting words of welcome. Dr. Crawford has done a fine year’s work in Reidsville, and he and his peo ple arc extending to the conference a very generous and delightful hospi tality. Dr. Morton, of the Church Extension Board, is here. Dr, Barbee, of the Publishing House. Dr. George Smith, of Georgia, and Dr. Law, of South Carolina, were all in troduced to the conference. The passage of character was taken up. All the presiding ciders made re ports of the work in their districts, and their characters were passed. From these reports it has liven a year of great prosperity to Methodism in this conference. The preachers are happy over the use the Lord has made of them in building up his cause. There have been a trout seven thousand conver sions under their ministry this year. This is remarkable success. The gospel as preached by the Meth odist pulpit is a gospel that appeals to the people. It is full of love for all men. It gives every man the offer of salvation. And it proclaims a broad* Christian fellowship among all be lievers in the Lord Jesus Christ. This is what the people like and this is what Christ comma tided his disciples to preach. At the church extension meeting Bishop Duncan said: "I believe that a man who builds a church or a parsonage is just as much doing the work of God as the man is who gets dow n in the straw and shouts “hallelujah” over the conversion of a sinner. “The work of the Church of Christ is a great unity. Building churches and parsonages and school houses and colleges and the salvation of souls are all one work. “I am sometimes afraid to give to the cause of Christ. It makes me feel so good that I am almost afraid 1 do it because it is such a luxury. “1 am not anxious to hear the sound of my gold and silver falling into my till; but I want to hear it sing in the happy voice of the orphan. I want to hear it speak in the comfort of the widow's home ; f want to hear it re joice in the Christian school; I want to hear it shout in the mission work of Japan and of the isles of the sea and echo back to me from the hills and val leys of all the continents of the earth.” Y EST ERDA Y’S S ESS ION. The Western North Carolina Confer ence convened in its second day's ses sion at 9 a. m. to-day. The opening worship was conducted by Rev. M. V. Sherrill. The preachers wore the face of happy men this morning. The bright skies, the invigorating atmosphere, the cor diality and comfort of the Reidsville homes, the richly laden tables make these hard-working and hard fighting soldiers of ( hrist feel comfortable and in love with all mankind. Many of them have fought upon hard fields this year. They have left all to follow Christ. They count not their own lives dear, that they may win Christ and be found iu Him at last. And the Lord has given them a victorious gospel. Thev wear flu* faces of men who come from fields where valor was demanded and where valor was abundantly furnished by them. They have learned what sac rifice for Christ is, and the churches have learned to love them and to re pose confidence in them. Under their labors the church has greatly prospered. It has been a year of surpassing revival interest. These men, and all like them, are pioneers of our Christian civilization and the con servators of all the best interests of the world. The members of this confer ence have well earned this short sea son of rest and of close fellowship one with another. Their reports have in them an echo of conflicts seen aud of trials passed, and also the suppressed shout of triumphant achievement. The morning session was taken up with the passage of character of a large number of the preachers. In pass ing the character of a young preacher, his presiding elder remarked that the only objection he had heard to him was that his sermons were too short. The bishop replied, “Never mind that. Tell his people that he will grow in grace in that respect.” At 11:30 a. nt. the conference went into Thanksgiving services. A great congregation filled the spacious house of God. Hymn No. 726 was sung. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Barbei and hymn “God Bless Our Native Land” was sung. Bishop Duncan read Psalm 104 and commented. The bishop took for his text the 100th Psalm, 4th and stli verses. “When 1 hear people in our republic lamenting the eondition ot affairs among us,” said the bishop, “I feel like saying to them that there are multiplied millions of people on th< earth who know nothing of the com forts that the poorest of us in America enjoy. God's gifts to us have been ex ceeding large and instead of complain ing we should be praying to God. Some of us. in traveling, complain if we can’t have a vestibule train to put us through the country at the rate ot sixty miles an hour. All this spirit of complaint is an abomination to God. Gratitude to God is the greatest sauce on the earth. It makes an Old pone of corn-bread as good as a plum pud ding.” The bishop told ofthe old sister who asked Bishop Early to dinner with her and set before him some fat meat and gravy and corn-bread and said to him: “Brother Early, this is the best I have. If you are a Christan it is good enough for you; if you are not, i tis too good for you.” He ate with gratitude. “A great deal of the dissatisfaction in the public mind is not because the mercies of God are not plentiful, but it is because one party is in and wants to stay in, and the other party is out, but does not want to stay out. “I think this country is greater than any party in it and it will stand. I wish that people would pray to the Lord for sense instead of praying for money. Give me understanding, Lord, is what you should pray. I never doubted that my mother loved me and yet some times she would wake me up at II o’clock at night to w hip me. So it makes no difference what God does to me, I know He is good and that He loves me. Brethren, thank God that after serving hard fields, if you have no money to leave your children, you can leave them God’s truth.” “When a man gets so low down as to insult me, I get so high up that he cannot do it.” “Instead of going around as an old Democrat, or an old Republican, or old Populist and abusing Grover Cleve land, go into your closet and pray for him and thank God that you have such a glorious country.” The Bishop’s sermon was pronounc ed bv the foremost men assembled here, a great sermon. It was full of thankfulness to God, full of hopeful ness for the future. As he preached you felt that a warm sun was shinning upon the earth and that God was reign ing over all the offices of this world. A collection was taken at the close for the Oxford Orphan’s home amount ing to about SIOO. At 7:30 a large and enthusiastic meeting in the interest of the Epworth League was held. Ist. How to conduct a league de votional meeting. Rev. F.F. Mann open ed with a good talk. 2nd. How to make the reading course a success. Mr. P. B. Crawford, a bright young layman and the son of Rev. L. W. Crawford, made the open ing speech under this head, a very fine ten-minutes talk. 3rd. How can we increase our league interest? A strong and thrilling ad dress was made by Dr. Dan Atkins. The closing address was made by Rev. Dr. .lames Atkins. He said many goods things and made a speech of great enthusiasm and power. ARE STILL CHAMPIONS DIE VIRGINIANS VICTORIOUS IN IN YESTERDAY’S FOOT HALL GAME. THE SCORE WAS SIX TO NOTHING White sad Blue Was Trailed in the Dust and Orange and Blue Waved Triumphant In the Breeze-—Seven Thousand People Witnessed the Con test-- The Tar Heels Kicked at Some of Umpire Beaumont’s Decisions-- Two Player* Dbqualiti*d. RICHMOND, Ya„ .Xov. 28. (Special) The day dawned with a clear sky aud a cool, brisk wind blew throughout the day, gathering a few clouds to break l lie sunlight just at the hour appoint ed for tiie game to be called. The Car olinians were in high spirits and all the morning the lobby of the Ex change Hotel rang with the cheer: *‘Hackie, hackie, hackie! Sis, boom, rah! Carolina, Carolina, rah, rah, rah! Rough, tough, we are the stuff; We play foot-ball and never get enough.” At the Jefferson the Virginians were quartered, and the orange and blue was the only tiling which the eye could see. The crowd began to gather on Broad street early, and fair Virginia ladies and the patriotic Carolina dames were wearing their favorite colors and en eouraging their chrysanthemum headed friends to victory. At 1 o’clock four thousand people were in West End Park, when full hack Butler kicked the ball off. Seven thousand people witnessed the play. The disorder on the grounds was a disgrace to the Virginia management and the police of Richmond. The for mer had not done their duty in getting a sufficient number of the latter, who were tossed about like kids without authority. Tin* Tar-heels out-played the boys of the Old Dominion in every particular, and handicapped as they were by the umpiring of Mr. Beaumont, of Penn sylvania, who to-morrow will be por trayed to the people of the country through the newspaper medium as a man without sufficient boldness and strength of character to withhold par tial decisions. Even the most ardent admirers of the Virginia boys declared him the most partial umpire ever on the gridiron. Jackson of Virginia and Merritt o1 North Carolina were disqualified foi “slugging,” and it is the regret ot many that Umpire Beaumont was not the recipient of the “pasters.” 11 was untrue that Merritt was engaged in slugging, and many at the time be lieved it was an attempt to weaken tin I’ar-heels’ best men. When Collier was ruled off for supposed slugging, the Carolinians refused to play because ii was openly stated in the face of ..tin umpire’s decision that Collier was in nocent. Whitaker, Merritt. Captain Gregory and Collier did the star playing sot North Carolina. Wright, who was con sidered the weakest man on the team, had, it seemed, an easy time with Cap tain Benton. At times the field was so crowded that the players could not be distin guished. It s thought that this will In* tin* lasi time the two teams will ever meet, at any rate on Virginia soil The team leaves at 2 o’clock in th* morning for Chapel Hill. The line-up of the two teams was as follows: University of Virginia: Jackson, left-end; Morris, left tackle; Davis, left guished. It is thought that this will guard; Benton (captain), right tackle; Cocke, right end; Hexton, quarter: Jones, left half; Lambert, right half: Lang, full hack.

C., Xov. 28.—(Spe cial) —The game of foot ball between the Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege and Guilford College this after noon was a very one sided game. The score standing 26 to nothing in favor of the A. and M. hoys. At the residence of the bride’s par ents on Edgeworth street at 11:30 this morning Mr. J. F. Jordan, a well known and popular tobacconist of this city, was united in marriage to Miss Mary W. Waddell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.' I). C. Waddell.

Congressman Linney, of this district, has appointed Spencer B. Blackburn, of Ashe county his private secretary. Thanksgiving was pretty generally observed here. Services were held at several churches. TIIA X KSGIVI NG SE R VIC ES. Yesterday morning at eleven o’clock every seat in the capacious of Edenton street Methodist church was filled to attend the joint Thanksgiving service of the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyter ian and Christian churches. Dr. Daniel. Dr. Carter and Mr. Tuttle were in the pulpit. After the voluntary. My Country ’Tis of Thee,” Mr. Tuttle read the 97th Psalm. Prayer was of fered by Dr. Carter. Dr. Daniel read the Governor’s proclamation. A solo by Mrs. Barbee and one by Mr. Charles Xewcombe delighted the large congre gation. i'he sermon was preached by Rev. 1). H. Tuttle, of Central M. E. Church, from Psalm, 78: 19, “Yea, they spake against God; they said, can God pun ish atable in the wilderness?” and Phil lipians, 4:19 “Blit my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” He started out with an opposite reference to the young preacher in “Beside the Bonny Brier Bush,” the popular novel by lan McClaren, who was turned aside from attempting a display of learning in his first sermon by his aunt who remind ed him of his mother’s last words, "Whenever you speak, speak for Jesus.” The preacher said he hoped to do likewise—speak for Christ. The lesson taught was that the Lord would provide a table anywhere, and that the object lessons of the orphan asylums, Soldiers’ Home, Rex Hospi tal proved the text. The same God who heard Hagar’s prayer for water for her son would hear and answer the prayer of the orphans and widows to day. Jt was an excellent sermon—one among the best Mr. Tuttle has preach ed during his residence in Raleigh. "1 wish every mail could have heard that sermon,” remarked a prominent citi zen as he came out. “It was truly ex cellent.” Dr. Daniel offered prayer, and after wards spoke of the needs of Oxford. I'homasville, and Barium Springs Or pbans, and made a direct and effective ippeal for a liberal contribution. A ■olleetion was taken up by Messrs. W. S. Primrose, W. X. Snelling, E. B. Thomas, W. H. Hughes, O. J. Carroll, and George Allen. I'HE NEWS AND OBSERVER'S BEST MAN. A few days ago Mr. Arehidald John son. editor of (Jiarity and Children, published in the interest of the Bap tist Orphanage, on a visit to Raleigh. Honored the News and Observer office with a call. In this week’s Charity and ‘hildren he said: “Mr. L. F. Alford, who received his training at the Thoinasville Orphan age and who afterwards held a posi tion in the Government Printing Office Washington, is manager of the famous Linotype machines in the News and )bsever office. Messrs. Samuel Bogas see and Walter O. Scott, foreman and assistant foreman in the office, are Oxford Asylum boys. “These men,” said Managing Editor Daniels, “are among our most faithful and efficient employees.” TA KING Til AN KSG 1V ING. We are quite sure that every reader of the News and Observer, after the inaniyioth Thanksgiving Cotton Mill edition, printed yesterday, would vote that editors, printers, pressmen, mail ing clerks and all deserved a day of rest, and the strain they have been on for more than three weeks would make a day of rest peculiarly acceptable, and it was at first determined, in obe dience to the time honored custom which has obtained in this office, to issue no paper at all to-day. But, up on reflection, this decision was revers ed. One of the staff has gone to the At lanta Exposition; another has gone to the great football match game in Rich mond; and this small paper is sent out so that our readers shall not lose the gists of the news of tin* world on Thanksgiving day.
