(Special to News and Observer.)
Winston-Salem, N. C.. Aug. 15.—Mr.
William Spillman, of Yadkin county, was
brought to the hospital here today with
his chin shot off, done by his own hands.
There is practically no hope for his
recovery. Attending physicians say if he
lives he will never be able to eat as the
chin is off and his jaws hang down.
Mr. Spillman went home intoxicated
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon and be
gan breaking up the crockery in the
house. After a short time spent in this
way he took his gun out, fired it, re
loaded the weapon and then went back
into the room, sat down in a chair and
placing the muzzle of the gun under his
chin again fired, taking off the entire
chin.
The instant it was done, wild with
pain, he ran screaming to the road and
back to the house, where those attracted
by his cries, found him lying on Hie
ground bleeding profusely.
His wife and child were in the house
at the time, but the mother took her
child and went out.
A paper found in the chimney corner
told where he desired to be buried, and
requested them all to do right. When
asked if he wanted a physician he nod
ded and when asked whom, wrote the
name “Harding" in his own blood on the
floor with his finger-nail.

(Special to News and Observer.)
t’harlotte, N. C., August 15. —James
Cathey plead guilty this morning in the
recorder s court to a charge, which if
proven, will land him upon the gallows.
Burglary, a capital offense in North

When his name was called he arose, said
simply “Guilty” and sat down. The re
corder apprised Cathey of the gravity of
the crime, but he declined to change his
plea and appeared unconcerned.
Harris Johnston, who swore out the
warrant, lives four miles from Charlotte.
Johnston found a window and door to his
house wide open when he awoke, and an
investigation disclosed the fact that sev
enty-five cents in money was missing
from his son’s trousers and several jugs
of wine from a closet. Cathey at-first
denied the offense, but the jugs were
found at his home and later he admitted
entering the house of Johnston. Cathey
will receive an immediate trial as Supe
rior court is now in session.

EVIDENCES OF GROWTH.
Foatoffice Receipts, no Empty Houses, Big To
bacco Breaks.
(Staff Correspondence.)
Rocky Mount, N. C., August 15—The
receipts of the postoffice here are stead
ily increasing every quarter. Sixty-four
new lock boxes and four lock drawers
have been ordered to accommodate the
increased demand.
Recently the National Directory Com
pany has numbered the buildings in
Rocky Mount. There are over 1,200 num
bers—residences and business houses.
Rocky Mount by a recent private census
show's a population in the incorporate
limits of somethiog over 5,000. 1 learn
that this, under the bill before Congress,
if passed, will entitle her to the city de
livery and, it is believed, that she will
have It in the near future.
The long distance Bell Telephone Com
pany has arranged to locate an office
here and soon one can talk from Rocky
Mount to all points North and South.
Building is going forward here more
than ever. Several handsome residences
are now in course of erection, others con
tracted for. The new, large, handsome
brick market house to be built on a
beautiful lot near the Bank of Rocky
Mount, will be one of the most complete,
convenient buildings of the kind in the
State. On the ground floor will be the
various compartments conveniently ar
ranged with refrigerators and all other
necessary equipments for the market
business: also the fire department. In
the basement will be the station house.
On the upper floor will be the mayor s
court room. Clerk's office, Superintend
ent of Public Instruction’s office, fire
men’s hall and police headquarters.
There was the largest break of tobacco
here today since the opening of the sea
son. It is estimated there were about
225,000 pounds sold at an average of from
10% to 11 cents, amounting to something
over $20,000 paid out today by the banks.
A man told me today that it was a hard
matter to find a house to rent in the town-
He had been trying to get one for some
months and had just succeeded. Ijfouses
are often rented by the time they are
started.
Reports from this vicinity are of fine
crops, which bespeaks for Rocky Mount
in the fall and winter months a good bus
iness and prosperous people.

1 BACK SEAT FOR
THE POWER SUIT
The Hearing Nominally on
Again Yesterday-
BUT IT WENT FAR AFIELD
How the Plaintiffs Were Provided in
Similar Actions.
AGAINST THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILROAD
•
Most of the Day Was Devoted to an Inqjiry In
to This Matter, and Some of Ihe Tes
timony Makes Interesting
Reading.
(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Aujr. 15.—The hearing be
fore Special Examiner Richard A, Mable.
in the suit of Peter Power against the
Northern Pacific Railroad directors to
prevent them from turning over the stock
of the company to the Northern Securi
ties Company, was continued today.
Little attention was paid to the Power
suit, however, the most of the day being
devoted to inquiry into the means where
by plaintiffs were provided in the similar
actions against the Great Northern Rail
road, one of the constituent companies
in the merger, which actions were based
on the holdings of Mrs. Ellsworth Ives
Chapman and Milton F. Bouden.
When the hearing was resumed today,
Herbert Limberger, counsel for H. Con
tent & Company, appeared with records
of transactions between that firm and
Camille Weidenfeld. Entries as to the
purchase of 100 shares of Northern Pa
cific stock by Weidenfeld on December
26, 1901, and of payments of cash on ac
count of Weidenfeld and Captain Stern
were put in evidence. The account of
Ellsworth I. Chapman was asked for, but
Limberger declined to produce it on the
ground that it was not pertinent.
Mr. Weidenfeld was recalled as a wit
ness. He desired to make some correc
tions of his previous testimony.
“I was asked,” he said, “if I bought
stock for Ellsworth Chapman or Mrs.
Sophie Chapman. I find that I bought
through Content & Company 100 shares
of Great Northern stock. The price was
189%. She paid by check on January 19,
$18,994.10. Delivery was made to Mr.
Chapman. I do not remember whose
check it was.
“In relation to the Bouden stock. In
the conference with Judge Lancaster it
was understood that suit could only be
brought by a stockholder. Governor
Van Sant said he would have nothing to
do with any ‘strike.’ He would not
touch the case unless it was understood
that the action would be carried to the
Supreme Court of the United States if
necessary. It was after that that Mr.
Bouden qualified and he authorized the
suit.”
“Did not Judge Lancaster send you
word he would have nothing to do with
the Great Northern suit if it was to be
a strike?’ ’’
1 “I understand he sent some message,”
said Mr. Weidenfeld.
"Then why did you go to Mr. Thomas
to procure a plaintiff instead of suing
yourself if you had any grievance or re
dress?” Queried Mr. Guthrie.
“I think Mr. Thomas had the stock. I
really cannot answer the question,” re
plied Mr. Weidenfeld.
Mr. Weidenfeld said he never heard
Peter Power’s name until after the suit
was filled, and he first learned of the
suit through the newspapers.
Milton F. Bouden, managing clerk for
Thomas & Thomas, brokers, was called
by Mr. Guthrie. He said that Mr.
Thomas called him into his office one day
last January and said:
“I have given you four hundred shares
of Great Northern Railroad Company
stock and a suit will be brought in your
name.”
Continuing, in reply to questions by
Mr. Guthrie, Mr. Bouden said the value
of the stock was about SBO,OOO and that
he still hold it. He had not paid for it.
“How much stock do you own now?”
asked Mr. Guthrie.
“Two hundred shares,” was the reply.
“When did you take possession of
them?”
“Today," said the witness.
“Is it not a fact that these shares
were given you today that you might
swear you owned the stock?” continued
Mr. Guthrie. *
“I took those shares from the safe be
cause the subpoena served upon me
called for their production here.”
“Do you know what perjury is and the
penalty for perjury is?” pursued the
questioner.
“I do,” returned Mr. Bouden.
“What became of the other two hun
dred shares?”
“They wore sold.”
The money, he said, was placed to his
account.
Mr. Bouden said he never saw the com
plaint filed in the suit and never au-
I thorized the action. He >ft ail that to
I Mr. Thomas, who told him when he gave
the stock that the suit was to be brought.
Mr. Thomas told him that Mr. Weiden
feld was interested in the suit.
Mr. Bouden identified a letter he wrote
to Mr. Lamb on August Ist asking him
to withdraw as his counsel in the suit
pending in St. Paul. He produced also
the letter in r°ply withdrawing from the
■ case and enclosing a bill for $2.509 for
professional services, etc., which lie sent
to Mr. Weidenfeld. Mr. Thomas promised
him that he should be put to no expense
in the suit and that Weidenfeld would
foot all the bills.
E. R. Thomas, formerly of the broker
age firm of Thomas & Post, but now se
nior member of the firm of E. R. & C. F.
Thomas, was the next witness.
“What did Mr. Weidenfeld say to you
about this suit?” he was asked by Mr.
Guthrie.
“He told me suits were brought
against the constituent companies to the
Northern Pacific merger and that Gover
nor Van Sant and Judge Lancaster ad
vised some big Northern holder should
be among the plaintiffs as a guarantee
that the suit was for principle and not
as a strike,” came the reply.
“What did you say?” was the next
question.
“Well. I told Mr. Weidenfeld that I
owned 400 shares of the stock and if a
principle was at stake I was willing to
help him. I told him I did not desire
my name mixed up in it and that I would
make over the stock to Bouden, in whom
I had full confidence. The suit was to
decide the validity of the merger. I
was interested as a broker in that ques
tion. Many people seemed to doubt the
validity of the merger and I, among
others, wanted it decided.”
“Do you not consider it an unusual
transaction to make a clerk a gift of so
large a sum of money that he might mas
querade as a plaintiff?” asked Mr. Guth
rie.
’I do not. It is a common enough prac
tice in Wall Street,” said Mr. Thomas.
Edwin Post, board member of the dis
solved firm of Thomas & Post, said ho
i first learned of Bouden’s connection with
the Northern Pacific suit when he read
lit in a newspaper. He spoke to Mr.
I Thomas and at his request Mr. Thomas
i went to J. P. Morgan & Company and
1 explained that the transaction was an in-
I dividual matter of his own and had noth-
I ing to do with the firm,
i By agreement adjournment was taken
' until Tuesday at 11 o’clock.
Mr. Lamb said he would produce Peter
Power at that time probably and by the
J following morning positively, when the
i proceedings for his disbarment are to be
; heard by Judge Lacornbe.
HILL BOOM BUSTED
But a Bare Half a Dozen at
Warrenton Meeting
Negro Convention Would Havj Nothing to do
With it and Cussed Out
Things.
(Special to News and Observer.)
Warrenton, N. C., August 15. —The at
tempt to have a convention or mass meet
ing of any kind here today to nominate
or endorse Judge T. N. Hill, of Halifax,
for Chief Justice against the Democratic
j nominee, Judge Walter Clark, was a
collossal failure. It fell fiat and every
body except the half dozen who partici
pated are laughing at it.
There were half a dozen people who
gathered in a private room in a con
clave.
Captain J. P. Leach, of
Littleton, came over and was
the ring leader. He had two or three
j unknown men with him. In the six were
S. L. Crowder, of Ridgeway, who was in
the State Treasurer's office while Treas
! urere Worth Avas in charge. Another
was O. H. Wycoff, of Ridgeway.
There was a negro convention here to
day, but it would not let Leach and his
few followers have anything to do with
them. One negro cussed out the aggre
gation in particularly blue words.
Loach and his confrers left here about
five o’clock and they were as discouraged
a set as ever drifted out of Warrenton.
The affair was simply a bust. The
Democrats of Warren are the straight
article and will have nothing to do with
such an aggregation.
j TO CABLE DEATHS FORTNIGHTLY.
' It Costs 91,50 to Wire an Officer’s Death, 930
to Wire a Private’s
(By the Associated Press.)
Oyster Bay, August 15. —The President
today gave orders that hereafter the
names of the enlisted men of the army
who died in the Philippines be cabled to
this country once in every two weeks.
When the volunteer army was in the
archipelago it was the custom to cable
the casualties, but on the withdrawal of
that army the practice was discontinued.
While it costs an average of $1.50 to
cable news to this country of the death
of an officer in the Philippines, it costs
about S3O for each enlisted man. This
difference is due to the fact that the
War Department has code numbers for
all its officers, while the names of the
enlisted men. together with their com
pany, regiment, etc., must be sent in
full.

THE EXPANSION OF
AUTUMN BUSINESS
In Full Career in the West
and Northwest.
THE OUTLOOK BRILLIANT
Handling of the Crops by the Bail*
roads a Problem.
GREAT STRENGTH IN IRON AND STEEL
The One Bad Feature in the Business Situation
is the Continuance of the Deadlock
in the Anthracite Coal
Region.
(By the Associated Press.)
New York, August 15.—Bradstreet’s
tomorrow will say:
“Weather conditions have been favor
able and the country is a week nearer to
realizing the largest harvest in its his
tory. Fall trade in the Northern and
Western sections has further expanded
and in the West and Northwest may be
said to be in full career, with every
sail drawing and nearly the best of out
looks, both as regards agricultural yields
and prices . The need of larger than us
ual quantities of money to move the
crops is appreciated and confidence in the
work of handling the crops with a min
imum of friction i 3 widely expressed,
though a further seasonable tightening
of the situation is looked for. The phy
sical handling of the crops by the rail
roads presents a problem which must
also be met and the possibility of a car
shortage looms up second only to the
necessary financing of the movement it
self.
“The favorable trade features noted
this week are the expansion in the fall
demand for dry goods, hardware, grocer
ies, shoes and millinery at leading mar
kets North, West, East and Northwest,
and more optimistic views expressed as
to the large size of the Southern cotton
crop and its effect on future business,
the strength of iron and steel, caused by
the curtailment of production in July as
a result of shortages in fuel supplies
due to the strikes and car shortages, the
firmness in lumber .mills being heavily
sold ahead and the continuance of the
improved export demand for cereals .par
ticularly wheat, with the steadiness in
prices of actual grain which is in active
request, while speculation is rather slow.
The less favorable features noted are the
restriction of trade in summer goods,
caused by the cool weather, the contin
uance of the deadlo'ck at the anthracite
coal mines, with the growing nervousness
as to supplies and prices if the strike
continues until cool weather, and the un
favorable figures of July export trade,
caused by the projection of last year's
conditions into the present season.
“Cotton retains all the strength noted
toward the close last week- Some cotton
goods are rather easy in tone. Print
cloths, while hold at Fall River at. throe
cents, are offered at 2%c at other mar
kets. Ginghams are, however, strong
and some advances arc announced.
“Business failures number 181 against
178 last year.”
THREE COWB POIBONED.
Believed to Have Been the Deed of a Negro
Boy.
(Special to News and Observer.)
Durham, N. C., Aug. 15. —At the resi
dence of Mr. W. R. Cooper, on Ramseur
street, at an early hour this morning or
sometime during last night, an unknown
party mixed some Paris green, salt and
meal together and placed the mixture in
a trough where Mr. Cooper’s three cows
could get it. They ate of the mixture
and have been deathly sick ever since.
The animals were drenched with anti
dotes today, and it is thought that two
of them may rcover. By inquiries at the
various drug stores, it is ascertained
that a negro boy bought some Paris
green at one place Thursday, telling the
druggist at the time that he wanted it
to put on cabbage to keep worms and
bugs off. The boy has not yet been
found.
