The Buncombe county republican con vention for the selection of delegates to the state, judicial, senatorial and con gressional conventions, was called to or der in the court house this afternoon at 1 o'clock, by V. S. Lusk, chairman of the county executive committee. The at tendance was considerably larger tlmn tbat of yesterday's convention. In call ing the meeting to order, Cul. Lusk said that the slate convention would decide whether it was best to put out a state ticket. The third party might do away with the necessity of putting out a state ticket. All republicans present from precincts not regularly represented were admitted as delegates, on motion of W.I1. Deavcr. On roll call it was lound that ten pre cincts of the county were represented.

No Money lo Run. gone Braucbc-a ol the Government Adjourns Out of Respect to tne Memory" of Representative Cralir. Washington, July 30. There was no sign of relief from the present situation in the house this morning. Many weary looking members were present at the opening, but it was plain to be seen that the attendance is diminishing and the dreaded announcement of no quorum may come at any time. The fair men propose lo drum up enough members here within 24. hours to make a quorum, but they do not yet sec how that would help them. In the absence of any special rule a half dozen filibustered can protract the session in definitely and prevent the transaction ol any business by simply alternating in motions to adjourn, to fixed the dales and to take a recess. Today the joint resolution extending the appropriations expires and it will be necessary for congress to pass the standing civil appropriation bill, or an other extension resolution, or else some of the most important branches or the government service will come to a stand still. These include the life saving ser vice nnd the light house service and their cessation might prove to be a most dis astrous inlliclion upon the commerce ol the country. 1 he house immediately upon meeting entered upon filibustering on the World's fair amendment to the sundry civil ap propriation bill and there was no pros pect of a cessation of hostilities. The situation is becoming a dangerous one. iilcss the sitnilrv civil bill passes todav or a resolution extending the appropria tions of last vcar be agreed to, the work at the Government printing office must cease at 12 o'clock tonight. liven the Record cannot be issued. Mr. Ilolman of Indiana offered a resolution extending the appropriations carried by the sundry civil lull ol last vcar until August 1-. Mr. Hopkins of Illinois ob jected to its consideration. The speaker said that the resolution wus in the na ture of an appropriation bill, but the pending business was also an nppropria tion bill and he didn't think the resolu tion had any priority. But as the ques tion was a most important one he would inquire into it further. The house then ndiourncd, out ol re spect to the memory of Representative Craig, hut not bclorc a protest had been made bv Reed, who thought that the house should, in its present stage ol busi ness, remain in session. 1 he attendance of senators today is below the quorum point, but attention was not called to the tact and routine business was proceeded with. The joint resolution appropriating $300,000 for printing the agricultural re ports of 1802 passed. The house bill for the proper representation of the ter ritory of Utah nt the World's Columbian exposition (appointing a commission of tiltecn citizens ol that territory ana ap propriating $50,000 out ot its treasury,) was reported and its passage asked by unanimous consent. Objccliou being made, the bill was placed on the calen dar. FOR CENTENNIAL WEEK. So Bar the Jury History of Que ol Ibe Host Remarkable Cases ol Its Klud Known In Ine Annals of crime Mail mis, Tcnu., July 30. The verdict of the jury in the Alice Mitchell case is as follows: "We, the jury, find the defend ants insane. We believe it would be dan gerous to the community to set her at liberty." Prcda Ward wus a wel! formed young woman, 18 years old. She had brown eyes, and in appearance resembled that type of charming young southern girls who live in the plantation districts of the Mississippi Valley. Accompanied by a sister and anotner young wo man, she was sauntering down the levee of Memphis on the afternoon of January Smoke was rolling from the stacks of the trim Ora Lee, the packet on which the Misses Ward were to return to their home at Gold Dust, Tcnn. As thev turned from the custom house walk, there was the rustling of a woman's dress behind them, and in a moment, Alice Mitchell, with a razor in her hand, thrcw herself upon Predu Ward. Miss Ward's sister sought to beat her off with n parasol, and the infuriated girl paused for a moment to slash her with the keen blade. The steel laid the flesh open on Miss Jo's white throat, and the blood spurted out, but the wound was not serious, Preda was reserved for the slaughter. Again and again was the razor whipped across Freda's throat. Scarcely a dozen minutes did the ill- fated girl live after the assault. The murderess clambered up the levee, leaped into a buggy, where Lillie Johnson was waiting, and then drove directly to her home in the aristocratic portion of Union street. "Oh, Allie, what have you done?" asked her frightened companion. "There is blood on your hands and face." Yes, it's Freda's blood. Don't you wiiic it off. Oh, I love her so." The police arrested Miss Mitchell ut her home that evening, and on the next day Miss lohnson was arrested asan ac cessory. Three hours after the deed, when taken bclore the duel ot ponce Alice was as composed as a woman in the midst of her home circle. She even smiled from beneath her veilasthccrowd of officials gatercd about. This indiffer ence deserted her but few times on the trial which lasted over a week and dur- ine which she described in detail the murder and said she did it because she did not want nnybodv else to marry Miss Ward. She testified that she did not recrct the act. and showed plainly that she was insane on the question of her relations with Miss Ward. A CORRECT DECISION. tbe A NOVEL IDEA.

Me said that there had been a hot fight by the anti- convention party who wanted to fuse Willi 1 ne 1 niro party, uui nun ineiaci was clear that the committee favored a state ticket, und that this was another vindication ol his course.
