Stale Chronicle,
j. C. Meekins, Jr., Esq1- sheriff
b£ Tyrrell county, arrived in the
city yesterday aftenoon. He gives
• the Chronicle the strangest, and
inbst sensational occurrence in Tyr
; "ieH OOiinty that was ever recorded
in these columns.-. -It isn’t exactly
h ease of Enoch Arden, but it is
tjuite-as odd, and the element of
erime makes it all the more won

to great excitement:
"DILLON INSURED HIS LIFE AND TRIED
‘V TO DROWN HIMSELF, f
About twelve months ago a man
named James Dillon, of Tyrrell
County, insured his life for $3,000 in
the Connecticut Mutual Life Insur
ance Co. About four mouths after
he had taken the insurance he fell
off a boat, feigned that he could
not swim, and hod to be pulled out
of Alligator river to prevent his
drowning.
ANOTHER FEIST AT DROWNING.
. The Bsexfc' day, he turned a boat
over half a mile from shore, and
.yelled for help to Mr. Sawyer, a
■ gentleman who was a quarter of a
milOtkway. The gentleman respond

and the case stood for. trial at Fay

A week., before court, Diilpn’s
; body was found on the place where
Mr. Sawyer saw him sink" in the
water. The body was identified, by
twenty-five people as that of James
Dillon, by the shape of his skull,
color of his hair, from his bald head,
because two teeth were out,' and
‘ ftom his elothiug and their con
tents. Dillon’s papers and pocket
knifq were in the dead’man’s pock
ets. ■ ■
At court, counsel for the widow
took a non suit because the body had
been found and could be identified.
It was supposed the company would
pay atones. The evidence of health
and identification was forwarded to
the company who wrote that they*'
. Would do as advised by Pruden &
iVaun, their attorneys at Edenton.
There is no doubt, with this evidence
that the company would have paid
the money if nothing had occurred
THE DEAD ALIVE.
On last Friday, to the surprise of
all, Dillon returned safe and sound,
“limb, wind and weather.*' There
is "no doubt but that Dillon, hearing
of the hon-suit at court thought it
was an end to his claims, and there
Would be no hope of collecting the
tnoney, and so believing returned
DILLON MAKES A STATEMENT,
liillon’s statement is that he swam
ashore the day that he turned the
boat over, put hie hat in the boat,
and left the boat half full of water.
Then he concealed himself in the
bushes and waited for Sawyer to
Come up. He was convinced that
-Sawyer thought he was drowned,
and determined to stay in the Woods
00 his wife could get the insurance
money. Five months later he claims
to have found a drowned man float*
v ing in Alligator river. He removed
the hair from his head so as to make
it bald,and also his whiskers, 'and
taking his own hair and' whiskers
stuck it ip'the decomposing flesh of
theVorpse. Then he knocked out
two of the front teeth of the dead
man,-and removing the clothing
from the corpse dressed it in the
clothes he had worn on the day of
his disappearance. He then, at
night conveyed it to the placo where
Hhe Was supposed to have been drown
ed, which place is one of the most
desolate and barren wastes in the
lowlands of the eastern North Caro
lina, seven miles from any inhabi
tant, and by the-solemn glimmer of
his lantern came to the conclusion
that the corpse presented a striking
likeness-to himself. The sequel
shows that he was right, for twenty
five people ■ were willing to swear
tlittt the body was that of James
Dillon-.
WHO POUND THE BODY.
The body was found by Cupt. Jos.
Etheridge; who expected to get $200
which had been offered for the body
of Dillon.
DILMIf JHBIMOT AT HIS DECEIT. ,;
Dillon is very jubilant overdeceiv
ing the people. The people of his
neighborhood lire very charitable
and whenever one loses a horse, they
All chip in and buy another; and
when one gets sick they work his
crop; or one’s house is burned, they
build him another. Thinking Dill
on was dead, out of charity for his
widow, they had planted his farm
and on last Tuesday thirteen of
them were in Dillon’s field working
his crop, while lie (Dillon) was in
the bushes looking at them. He says
that he was glad. to see his work
progressing so finely in his absence
and would have been perfectly satis
fied could he have told them howhe
wanted the crop cultivated. —
GUEAT EXCITEMENT.
The news of his, return created
quite an excitement, and threats of
lynching, and tar and feathers were
freely indulged in. Friday, the day
of his return, will long be remember-,
ed in the usually quiet little village
of Columbia as “Black Friday.”
Added to this excitement was the
assignment of one of the prominent
merchants of the town, and two
lights by four prominent citizens,—
making a record for the day.:

Differences Between New England
ers and Southerners.
The New York Evening Post ■ in
reviewing the work of Henry Ad
ams on President Jefferson’s Second
Terra, says: Mr. Adams has no
where essayed a philosophical expla
nation of what seems to us among
the most striking phenomena in our
political history—to wit, how it
came that what was originally a so
cial Democracy in Neve England
became the foundation of the most
inveterate form of aristocratic pol
itics ever exhibited in our annals;
and how it was that a social feuu
jdalism in the South, built on an in
stitute so anti-deinocratic as predial
slavery, because the seed-plot of a
popular political philosophy which
degenerated at length into the so
called “vulgarity” of the Jacksonian
era. This inquiry is not one which
lies outside of Mr. Adam’s purview
as an historian, for it is one which
enlisted the curiosity of speculative
politicians at the very beginning of
Jefferson’s second term, when the
dividing of the ways in our nation
al politics had become, sufficiently
pronounced to indicate that the dif
ferention was not casual, but
followed the trend of diverge
uient tendenmes hidden in our so
cial strata.
Less than two months after Jef
ferson’s second inauguration the
Causes of this separation in the po
lities of New England were made a
topic of formal discussion in the of
ficial journal of the Administration,
the National Intelligencer, and
these causes, as then and there an
alyzed (we abbrevite their sub
stance in our own terms), were
reduced under the following heads:
The origual religious separatism to
which the New England colonies
owed their origin; the clanishness
and pride of Opinion engendered by
a sense of superior education; the
gie&ter compactness of the popula
tion, leading itself to easier assimi
lation of opinion; better interior ar
rangements for the dissemination si
ideas from ^ central poiut; the weld
ing process of the Revolutionary
England people' averse to the
independent and bupolio politics of
Virginia. Such were, in substance,
the Views held by partisans of Jef
ferson when, at that early date,
they undertook to account for the
New England stratification in our
national politics. It would have
been instructive to see these con
stant elements of our party forma
tion surveyed by Mr. Adams from
that higher point of view which we
have reached to-day. Bryce makes
only a passing allusion to the sub
ject; • . ■ „ -’n .'

boy wrote Sam Jones while in Dan

his letter a dime. Mr; Jones sent
his photograph and returned the

THE RADICAL PLOT MAY FAIL.
Reed and Company are not Progress
j ing Well.
XaHonal Tbnmocrut. ^ v
' There i° a good deal of talk about
the Capitol that the proposed feder
al election law is destined to fail of
passage, no less than HcCtsmas bill;
and-the -WeiL known willingness
.of both Ilarrisou.and-Iieed to have
nothing whatever done about silver
promises to make the present sess
ion much more barren of results
than the Republican- leaders have
boasted that it would be.
It is stated to us, on the author
ity of a prominent Republican Sen
ator, that Mr. Harrison has iuforjm
ed his friends in Congress that 'he
will sign a bill for the free coinage
Of silver. He wants the Windom
certificate bill or nothing. But
the Western Republicans are no
less than the Democrats opposed to
the whole idea of warehousing sil
ver bullion, and will not vote it. , It
uttnuuL pass.
The present outlook is that noth
ing at all will be done about silver.
The Democrats are advised by Mr.
Man toil Marble, who was so closely
in the confidence of the late Secret
tary Manning, that it is useless to
wait longer for the European na
tions to join us in a silver union,
and that the best plan is to go
ahead and make silver free. This
is a very important suggestion.
But one thing is certain: If the;
Republicans do nothing and at all
they will find their record on
this question a burden in the
coming campaign.
The case in regard to the election
law seems to be that the Republican
Sectors do Hot want it and are av
erse to attempting any gag rule in
their body in order to put it
through. There are also some
members of the -House who are
against it. On Saturday last the
caucus "committee of Republican
members which has it in charge
held a long session, and by a vote
of six to five declared in favor of
the Lodge bill for a_ national elec
tion law in preference to the Rowell
bill for an extension of the super
visors. Messrs. Lodge, McComas]
of Maryland; Henderson, of Iowa;
Houk, of Tennessee; Sm)rser, of
Ohio, and Browdeu, of Virginia
were in the majority and Messrs.
Rowell, pf Illinois; Stewart, of Ver
mont; Payne, of New York; Frank,
of Missouri, and Haugen, of Wis
consin, were in the minority will
carry the matter into the Caucus
and made a stubborn fight against
the Lodge programme. Mr. Lodge’s
bill, as now drajvn makes no provis
ions for the Australian system of
voting except where that is the sys
tem of the States. It provides for
federal election machinery, federal
pviuii^ jnuiicn, xuuisliu cuunung
and ‘ federal certification in
every district of the Un
ion. States authority in Massachu
setts and Ohio, as well as in South
Carolina and Mississippi, is to be
superceded by separate officials and
separate polling places under na
tional control. Mr. Lodge esti
mates that it will cost $5,000,000 to
carry liis scheme out. Other mem
bers of the committee say . that it
will take $10,000,000. They believe
and will argue in the caucus that
the system will cause friction and
indignation in the Northern States
and will <cause a revolt against the
Republican party which will lose it
more votes than it can posibly gain
in the South. They believe tb»t
even if the measure gets a majority
vote in a thinly-attended caucus the
majority will not dare force the
matter to an issue in the House.
It will* be a ridiculous outcome of
all Reed’s high-handed proceedings
if none of the political legislation
he so much desires gets through.
Of (purse, ho has succeeded in pass
ing a tariff bill, but this is merely a
a measure that is certain to be
wholly changed in the Senate.
Already Mr. Dawes has washed
lus hands of the McKinley abomina
tion, declaring in, ther Senate on
Monday that he did not wish to'
promote or oppose; it. Mr. Allison,
of fowa, would very much like to be
relieved of the same responsibility
and will be compelled to vote for
many modification of the bill.
It is by no means certain that the
Fifty first .Congress will, finally pass1
any tariff bill at nil, or do anything
farther of importance.
W hat* record- of -that_would be.
No tariff law! no silver law !no elec
tion law! —t— . ; .
We wonder what Mr. Speaker
Reed thinks he has accomplished- so
far. » .
DEATH OF DR. I. E. MANN.
An Able Norti£Carblina Minister fa
ken Off by Typhoid Fever in 'St.
Louis.
Rev. Dr. J. E. Mann, pastor of
the Methodist Church of New
Berne, died Friday night of typhoid
fever in St. Louis, Mo. lie was at
tending General Conference. He
will be taken to Winston for burial.
He was due of the most prominent
members of the North Carolina Con
iereuee.
. Dr. Mann left North Carolina for
the General Conference in good
health, and he was a man of unusu
ally fjne and healthy physique.
The Raleigh News and Observer
says of him: He was 58 years qf
age and was bofh and reared in
Chatham county. He entered the
ministry at a very early age and
joined the.North Carolina Confer
ence in 1853. From the beginnig
of his career in the Conference he
took a prominent part and has al
ways continued to do so tilling
many of the most important ap
pointments in-the Conference, in
cluding the pastorate of the church
at Fayetteville, Grace church at
Wilmington, St. Paul’s church at
Goldsboro, the churches of Winston
Greensboro, and New Berne, where
he was • located at the time of
his death. He- was also presiding
elder for fourteen years, having
charge of the Warrenton, Wash
ington and New Berne districts.
Four years ago he was elected to
the General Conference at Rich
mond and again to the present Gen
eral Conference at St. Louis, was
a prominent member of both and
was spoken of and voted for Bishop
at the latter. He was taken ill
while at work at St. Louis and died
in the harness.. When the war be
gan he organized a company at'
Winston, which was afterwards
Company D of the 57th Regiment.
He married Miss Miller, of Win
ston. His wife and a large family
survive him.
An Important Discovery.
Charlotte Chronicle.
It is claimed that another proper
ty of steam has been discovered, and,
if the discovery stands the test of
experience, it may prove’ valuable
both in applying the power of steam
and in preventing accidents.
The new discovery was exhibited
several days ago, in Bridgeport,
Conn., before a society of engineers,
during an address by F. G. Fowler.
of that city. He asserted that the
newly discovered pi op ;rty of steam
would, under some circumstances,
cause an instantaneous doubling of
boiler pressure without the applica
tion of more heat. His claims were
demonstrated by a small boiler, iu
which the pressure was raised to 40
pounds, andi after being removed
from the Are suddenly thrown to
80 pounds. In another experiment
the pressure was raised in an' in- '
slant from 80 pounds to 160. It
was claimed that this property acr
counted for many so-called mysteri
ous boiler explosions, or those
which withstood the inspector’s test
and then exploded at lower pressure.
It was shown how his property
could be readily removed from the
boiler, and the same was demonstrat
ed'by suceessful experiments.
-Governor Fowle has accepted the
invitation to deliver the address at
Princeton college, June 10, at the
laying of the corer stone of the new
building.

A CARO.
To my friends and Supporters in
the late Congressional Conven
tion at Clinton:
GentlemfN:—1 would be dercliet
to you and to myself, did" I not try
to express the thanks I feel for your
:ordial,'generous unswerving sup
port throughout an almost coutinu
Jus session of nineteen hours on
last Wednesday and Thursday In
my own behalf and in the name of
the People, whose wish you were
voicing, I thank you as best I may
For this unprecedented devotion.
Going in with 198 votes out of a
possible 341, and maintaining it al
most absolutely intact through the
534 consecutive ballots ensuing and
extending through the entire night,
is an instance of resolution and
pnysicai endurance, rareiy 11 ever
jqualed in tiny similar body.
Friendly predilection for myself
will not alone account for it. •
It liad to be sustained by sense of
luty and popular demand.
You feel that a majority of over
fifty against “the Field” on the first
ballot, and which was kept Op with
ilmost unbroken regularity to the
last proof conclusive of popular
preference, even had had there been
no question of the regularity of op
posing delegations.
But when realized, as all fair
minded men did, that two great
counties had been arbitrarily de
frauded of their legitimate repre
sentation, and packed delegations
substituted by summary process of
tricksters, for the ostensible ..and
avowed purpose of nsnring my de
Eoat under the two-thirds rule, pop
ular verdict, as expected, made you
more steadfast in your resoulution.
It is needless to say, my friends, I
am proud of the support which
followed. Rather, a thousand
times rather, defeat with such fol
lowing than success achieved by the
substitution or the lordly will,, and
pleasure of a little town cliqui? of
little men for the recognized' meth
ods of party organization, the pri
mary and county convention.
The one I have, the other I scorn,
as I do the schemers who wrought
the wrong. My brief political ca
reer is in all probabity ended,
whether through inclination or
compulsion matters little. Since it
began unsolicited, my constant en
deavor has been, knowing the un
certainty of tenure; to guard
against becoming infatuatnd with
official position. Unless I flatter
myself the effort has proved some
thing of a success.
Barring the gratification incident
to successful knavery and falsehood
(partially sucessful), which my de
feat insures that class, I venture to
say that the result is less of a dis
appointment to me: than to some
others of “the dark hourse” persua
sion who. aspired to take' my place,
and hoped by which to achieve it.
Pardon a word of parting injunc
tion, pot so much to your own as
to other counties in the District and
throughout the State.. Next to the
light of Heaven and the light of
Reason, Constitutional Government
is the greatest boon ever conferred
on mortal man, or rather achieved
by man, for the unworthy never at
tain, it. We have it. How shall we
preserve it? tJpon the Primary
Election hingeth answer much or
more than any other agency.'
“The Primary" is the cradle of
Party, and if our party be as we be
lieve, the mainstay and ultimate re
liance of free institutions, then the
Primary is the ministry of Liberty.
Make it respected of the people—-it
is not enough so. But especially
make it respected by the small-fry
politician, who would dare set it
aside for bias or grudge or selfish
and. Hold to the Primary; insist
upon it and with my dying breath I
would add fight for it, and if needs
bQ die for it. It is already the ter
ror of Knaves and would be party
usurpers. Elevate it and make it
more so. Relegate the vaulting
manipulator who disregards ‘ its
claims to bo heard or its voice when
heard, to the inglorious, obscurity
from which ho should never emerge.
Respect the Primary. One other
word, my friends, and ,1 have done.
It is in the main superfluous. 'Stick
to and suport your nominees, one
and all, under any and all cir- I
cumstances. Subordinate personal i
preference or private grievance, I
real or imaginary, to party .claim
and party fealty. Aye, stick to j
your nominees, now and always,
from the highest to tire lowest on i
the list. , i
The worthy gentleman, Major j
Gha3. VV. MeClammy, who has been j
designated as my successor, gained i
the goal without any underhand I

not grucjgiugly, but with a will. (
lie will never falsify your confidence i

THESUB-THEASURY BILL.
A Moore County Farmer Defends it. j
Kjrpt'rnsf Correspond c tic,a. 1
Vv. !{. Davie, as quoted in the ]
Exprkss clearly shows liis prejudice 1
against “The Sub-Treasury Bill ' as- 1
well as a good deal of ignorance of ,
the plan; indeed, misrepresentation, j
ridicule and .hold iissai tions without !
arguments or facts to sustain them,
seems to be' the plan of attack from
all purlins opposed lo it.
The authors of the -bill have nev
er claimed the bill to be perfect, but
expected it to go through the cru
cial test applied by the wisdom of
both Houses of Congress..-' No.!; a
bill in a thousand passes through
Congress in the shape first intro
duced. We admit it may need per
fecting. But, deny that it is very
generous in dealing out Uncle Sam’s
millions. It is estimated that it will
take less than 50 millions to build
the necessary elevators and ware
houses. There is deposited in cer
tain National banks without a cent
of interest more than that amount.
There are millions loaned to whis
key men on whiskey in bonded ware
houses. Millions of money and
land have been given to certain rail
roads. Then pray why is it so very
generous to spend that and to build
government ware houses for the
benefit of the great agricultural in
terests of the country on which all
its prosperity is based? If it is right
to loan hundreds" of millions to a
corporation of hankers to speculate
on the necessities of the masses,
why is it not right to loan its cred
it for a less amount directly to farm
ers? But it is useless to argue this,
every unbiassed man must admit
its truth and fairness. But our
enemies want to divide us by pre
judice. You have ignored the agri
cultural department, Mr. D. says
and g'ven the Sect, of the Treasury
all the power. Will he tell us how
the Sect, of agriculture could issue
Treasury notes? But you Southern
men may want to buy corn, &c, there
fore you should keep the pricodown,
the Northern, man need^ cotton,
therefore he should want cotton low.
Then all of you cannot place in
bond everything produced, such as
garden truck, &c., therefore you
should oppose it. Oh! yes that is
the scheme, divide them, let them
like the set of fools they are, go to
fighting each other, and we will walk
off with the profits'.
Brother farmers, I hope you will
avoid that little trap, stand firm ns a
unit, and work for the emancipation
of all the brotherhood of the toiling
masses. You know that fair remu
nerative prices all around-will bene
fit every man among us. Cheap
money for the grain section means
cheap money for the cotton then and
that mebns better prices and easier
times. Beware of the wolf in sheep's
clothing. Think, judge and act for
yourselves and your own gGod.'
But the great objection of Mr. D.
seems to bo the immense amount
of patronage, unlimited money, &e.,
given the beet, of the-Treasury. This
all falls to the ground from the fact ,
that the njnnagers in. every county
are to be elected by the people, and
if it should go into operation . in
North Carolina, it would duty re- :
quire upon an average about one or
wo men to the county, while there
3 now at least 50 Federal Postmas
ers and Deputies in Moore county;1
Phis shows that any amount of sim
ile assertion proves nothing.
But it will cause a great grain and
:otton “trust’! by withdrawing from
narket enough of the products to.
mt up the price.. This will raise the
•rice of Western grain that you
nay need, but will eventually lower
he price of cotton. How will this
ledone? Why the spinner will
vait and smile, -knowing-that it wHl -
orne at last-and H cheaper the next
ear. Can the millions invested in
otton Viiijls whit and smile twelve
nonths, when there is scarcely 8
■ear’s supply of cotton in the worlds
lid they do that during the __war
vhfen cotton went up a dollar and
i half per pound in a year or twoP,
Ie argues that it will form a great
trust’" by withdrawing products
rom the markets, and closes by say
ug, it will lower prices very likely
nore than 20 per cent, below the
narket price, and the government
ie a loser. _jv.'
1 will confess that is a patent
louble action revolving way of do
ng business that I do not realy
nidcrstand. But I deny that, the '
ilan will withdraw products from
uarket or is intended to do so for
my such purpose. Products of the
arm will be safer stored in good
government ware houses and nearer
in the. market, being on the railroad
iiies, than they would be in the
iani9*£cattered over the country.
A man has a hundred bushels of
pain in an elevator on the railroad,
le also has a hundred bushels in his
jam 15 miles away from the rail
oad, which is nearest to market and
nost likely to be taken first? The
;ertificates will be always on the
market just as much if not more so
ihan the grain in the barns at home.
Mr. D. and many others cry out.
preposterous! Every little lawyer
who is asked about it generally says
unconstitutional!! Editors generally
say impracticable!!! Politicians
raise their hands and exclaim pater-,
nhlism!!!! Mr. Editor if I am not
mistaken you have pronounced it
impracticable. I would like to ask
you and the rest how this plan of
Lhe government issuing cheap mon
::y to its people based on products of
value can be impracticable, when it
lias beeu in operation at different
times in different countries for 150
years or more and always with the
happiest results. Almost identical
