THfIILUFF A BLUNDER
1 he Boss Now Admits it, Said
a Republican*
Pretended Bouncing o f Negro and Endorsing of
Democrats has Done 1 linn More Harm
Tnan Good.
(Special to News and Observer.)
Greensboro, N. ‘Oct. 20. —There was
a great gathering of leading Republicans
here Saturday night and yesterday.
Chaiiman Pritchard was in constant con
sultation with different prominent candi
dates and members of the State Exeeti
ttve Committee. What new move in the
politieal field is on, can only be approxi
mated. A Republican this morning was
heard to declare that it had been ad
mitted by the boss of his party, that the
pretended bouncing of the colored voters,
the complete ignoring of the advice of
conscientious white Republicans, who
were not Federal officeholders, was a
great blunder. He said that the en
dorsing of Democrats for office and the
exclusion of old time Republicans from
even a participation in the party coun
cils, had caused more of them to be dis
gusted than it had won new voters. He
also said that some Democrats who had
displaced Republicans as candidates, had
been found, could not attract a single
Democrat voter, an illustration being
given of a son in one county, whose
father and three brothers were actively
canvassing against him.

Horrible Fate of Negro at
Forest City, Arkansas.
An Infu uted Mob Bre.ks into the Jail and
Drags Him from His Cell to Hellish
torture.
(By the Associated Press.)
Forest City, Ark., Oct. 20. —Charles
Young, me negro charged with assault
ing and afterward murdering Mrs. Ed
Lewis, white, was burned here tonight by
a mob of infuriated citizens of this coun
ty. Sheriff W. E. Williams, of this coun
ty, used every effort against this measure
and had telephoned Judge Hutton, of this
district, who promised to come tomorrow
and give immediate trial for the negro.
In view of which the leaders of the mob,
it is said, had given the sheriff positive
pledges that they would await trial and
take no violent measures. \
I-ater, however, more violent counsel
prevailed and, about 8:30 o’clock tonight
the mob marched to the county jail.
After having been refused the keys by
Deputy Sheriff Murphy, until Sheriff Wil
liams could be acquainted with their de
mands, the mob, not waiting for Sheriff
Williams’ arrival, forcibly took the cell
key from Murphy and, breaking in the
jail door with sledge hammers, took the
prisoner from his cell against the pro
test and pleadings of Sheriff Williams,
who had arrived in the meantime.
The mob took the negro to a point
about half a mile east of town, bound
him, piled wood around him, and set fire
to it. (The negro begged piteously for his
life, but the mob turned deaf ears to his
pleadings. In a short time the flames
reached him and he expired in the pres
ence of the several hundred men com
posing the mob. After Young had been
put to death, the mob started in quest of
another negro alleged to have been im
plicated in the killing of Mrs. Lewis. At
midnight he had not been found.
TAKING OF TESTIMONY BEGUN.
The Second Trial of Boland Molinenx Gets
Under Way
(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. 20. —The jury for the
trial of Roland B. Molineux, charged with
the murder of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams,
was completed today. Assistant District
Attorney Osborne, this afternoon, made
his opening address for the State, after
which the taking of evidence commenced.
The assistant district attorney, after ex
plaining the nature of different poisons,
was advancing a theory as to the efforts
at secrecy mad° by the alleged poisoner,
when the Court interrupted him again:
“You can tell the lury,” Justice Lam
bert said, “what you will prove, and not
the deductions you want them to draw.’’
“I expect to prove these facts your
honor," Mr. Osborne replied.
“Very well.” ruled the Court; “prove
them and let draw their own
deductions.”
At the conclusion of his address, which
had occupied an hour and a half, Mr.
Osborne asked for an adjournment until
tomorrow morning, which was denied.
He then called Dr. Edward F. Hitchcock,
the first physician to see Mrs. Adams
after she was taken ill. The doctor said
he saw,a “suspicious appearance’* in the
throat of the dying woman and admin
istered whiskey, but without effect. He
put about one-sixth of a grain of the
stuff from the bromo-seltzer bottle to
his tongue and detected hydrocyanic
acid. Traces of mercurial poisoning
were on Mrs. Adams’ lips. Dr. Hitch
cock identified a piece of paper as the
one that Cornish gave him as the wrap
per that enclosed the bottle and holder
when it reached him at the Knickerbocker
Athletic Club. It was admitted in evi
dence. The bottle holder and bottle were
also admitted after the witness said he
saw them on the dining table in Mrs.
Adams’ flat. The witness said he was
sure one of the cyanides caused the death
of Mrs. Adams.
Dr. Hitchcock said he gave Cornish no
antidote for the poison, but nitrate of
bismuth to relieve the stomach irritation
complained of. Cornish was sick until
he reached the street, the air reviving
him.
Harry F. Cornish told of the receipt of
the poisoned package at the club house
on December 24, 1899. It was put on his
desk by one o fthe clerks. He tore off
the wrapper and threw it away. Later,
at someone’s suggestion, he picked the
paper up and wrapped it around the pack
age again. Then he told of speaking of
the anonymous gift at dinner that even
ing, and said Mrs. Rogers suggested that
he bring it home and give her the holder,
the description of which seemed to match
the silver on her toilet table. The trial
was adjourned until tomorrow.

THE GREAT MERGER BUIf.
I Day Oiven up to Hearing Testimony by James
i J. Hill.
(By the Associated Press.)
St. Paul, Oct. 20.—The adjourned hear
ing of the government suit against the
so-called railway merger, was called to
order by Special Examiner Ingersoll at
the Circuit court in this city today, and
the entire day was given to the direct
| testimony of James J. Hill for the de
fendants, the cross-examination having
just begun when the hearing adjourned
for the day.
; Mr. Hill described at great length the
' conditions of traffic on the Great North-
I ern and Northern Pacific lines, maintain
ing rates wore kept down in order to ob
tain business.
Cotton and machinery showed remark
able increases in Oriental traffic within
the last year, while oil and some other
commodities decreased. The year ending
June, 1902, showed about double the
. Oriental shipments of the previous year.
At the afternoon session, Mr. Hill went
, into the question of merger. Mr. Hill
said the purpose, after the purchase of
the Burlington company and of the large |
blocks of Northern Pacific stock in the
j formation of the Northern Securities |
‘ Company was to put the stock “where it
could not again be raided, as it had been.
J It was preferably not a railroad com
j pany.’’ Railroad charters almost always
do not provide for buying other companies
and the organization of a separate hold
ing company would be free from the
| possibility of “raids" intended to destroy
or hamper the company. Any other sort
jof plan for controlling great Oriental
I traffic would result in loss and possibly
I wreck the whole enterprise. He was
taken again over the ground of competi
! tion with transportation companies of
( the whole earth on the high seas, and
then, recurring to the holding company,
be reiterated that the whole intent and
purpose was to protect the companies ■
interested, and “there was absolutely no :
intent or thought of restricting trade. On ,
j the contrary it was looked on as the
most effective way of developing the
great Oriental trade.”
j There was, so far as he knew, never
any intention or purpose of destroying
competition between the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern railway com
j panics by the organization of the North-
J ern Securities Company. He believed the
competition was as free and full as at
any time in twenty years.

BERVDE4 AT FRESHYTERIaN CHURCH
♦
! Rev R. L. Leyburn, of Durham, Delive r ed
Two Strong Sermons
Services were conducted Sunday niorn
ing and evening at the Presbyterian
church by Rev. R. L. Leyburn, of Dur
! ham, and these were much enjoyed by at
tentive congregations. The text for the
morning was Revelation 21:25: “There
shall be no night there.” The minister
drew vivid word-pictures of the glories
and beauties of heaven, its eternal dav
j and everlasting sunshine, God himself
I being its light. He contrasted the sor
rows, tribulations and Ills of this world
j with the supreme happiness of the world
| beyond, and developed his theme along
1 these lines in a strong sermon.
In the evening he preached an excellent
| sermon from the text, Gen 7:1, “and the
I Lord said unto Noah, Come thou with all
thv house into the ark.” Taking up the
theme of God's determination to destroy
the earth he showed that Oc ark was
typical of Jesus Christ, and how in this
latter day it was to him that the people
should flee as an ark of salvation and
safety.
In both sermons he made strong points,
and presented the gospel to his hearers
most practically and most beautifully.

PAINE’SCELERY
COHPOUND
FOR CLEANSING AND PURI
FYING THE BLOOD.
It Removts the Germs of
of Disease, Invigorates
and Rejuvenates.
Thousands of men and women who
have neglected the work of physical re
cuperation in the summer months, are
now carrying a burden of disease. In
the majority of cases, impure am] pois
oned blood and a sluggish circulation
are the direct causes of suffering and
misery. Are you. dear reader, one of the
unhappy victims? If so, the life stream
must be made pure, the health-wrecking
laxity of the blood vessels must be cor
rected, the nerves and tissues must lie
nourished. Paine’s Celery Compannd is
the medicine that physicians recommend
for the increase of pure blood in the
arteries, and for arousing the purifying
organs to cast off the impurities that
give rise to disease. Mr. Jas. F. Hudson.
Spring Itidge, La., was a terrible sufferer
from impure blood; no tolls how he ban
ished his troubles:
“From some cruse my blood became im
pure and resulted in boils and pim
ples. At one time I suffered from 27
boils. No one can imagine what I suf
fered. 1 tried sulphur, sarsaparillas and
other remedies, but no relief came. Mr.
Sebastian, a merchant whom I used to
clerk for, handed me one of your circu
lars and insisted that I should use
Paine’s Celery Compound. After using
two or three bottles the boils were not
so numerous nor as large. After using
the fifth bottle, I was entirely cured, and
have been myself ever since.”

BETTERMENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Work That can be Done by Women in
This Direction.
For some time the papers of the State
have been full of accounts of woman's
work for the betterment of the rural pub
lic school houses. Women have come to
a realization of the fact that it is their
work, and they have most nobly re
sponded to the call.
Associations for this purpose are being
formed throughout the State.
Although we know that the schools of
Wake county are far superior to those
of many other counties, and that our
Board of Education works faithfully and
enthusiastically, yet we feel there is
room for woman’s help in improving the
condition of the school houses.
Since the greater part of a child’s life
is spent in the school room, it should be
made as pleasant and comfortable as
possible.
Proper sanitary conditions is the first
and by far the most important need of
our schools. No child should be allowed
to breathe impure air, or be allowed to
remain for hours where his health is en
dangered. The floor and windows of
every school room should be clean. There
should be pictures on the wall and every
possible effort made to render the whole
room bright and attractive for the little
ones entrusted to the teachers’ care.
A library is a vital necessity in every
school ro^>m.
A builder is not expected to erect a
beautiful building without proper ma
terial and tools; neither should we ex
pect to produce great men without pro
viding proper training; nor should we
expect ideal teaching where the school
is not properly equipped.
The necessary appliances for training
are not possessed by most of the public
schools of our State.
The assistance of every woman is most
earnestly sought by those engaged in this
work for the betterment of the public
schools of Wake county.

11 WAS ENJOYED.
Lord Strathmore is a Play That is Worth
Seeing Presented.
The audience which gathered at the
Academy last night, to witness the pre
sentation of “Lord Strathmore,” while
not great in numbers, was enthusiastic
in praise of the splendid play.
As Marion, the Marchioness, Miss
Virginia Drew Trescott superbly pre
sented the character and Mr. Alexander
Frank as '“Lord Strathmore," deserves
much praise. The other members of the
caste aid in making the play a success,
but are in such strong company that it
is hard to measure up to the demands
made by Miss Trescott and Mr. Frank.
The stage setting and J,he costumes are
to be commended. Taken as an entirety
they play is well presented. The plot and
the action keep one’s interest aroused,
and the audience last night was highly
satisfied. It is a play that the public
will enjoy and it is worth going to see.
Oxford Seminal y Prosperous.
(Special to News and Observer.)
Oxford* N. C., Oct. 20.—Your corre
spondent is informed by President Hob
good that the Oxford Seminary is enjoy
ing unprecedented prosperity. On account
of the large increase of boarding stu
dents it became necessary to convert the
old studio into dormitories and to build
for the art school a studio. This studio,
which is ideal in all its appointments,
has been completed and the art class has
moved into it.
This increase of students made neces
sary also the organization of another
literary society, the one society, the Oal
liopean, having become so large that it
could not do efficient work. The new
society bears the name Uranian.
In a few days a system of water-works
will be installed.
