The hearing in the habeas corpus case of "Bud" Whitternore was to begin at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. At that hour, however, Deputy Sheriff Morgan had not returned with two important wit nesses, and the State, represented by Messrs. T. R. Ransom and Jocke Craig, objected to proceeding. Attorney Ran som called Judge Carter's attention to the fact that the day was nearly gone; "and," said he, "the most of us cat about 6 or 7 o'clock." "Yes, we cat too much, too," was the response of Jas. H. Merriroon, counsel fortc defence, and J udgi.- Carter then adjourned the hearing until 10 o'clock tbis morning. When the hearing was begun this morning J. M. Whitternore, a cousin of the defendant, was sworn, anil testified that he saw Doc Roberts and Ilensley walking very fast (Roberts with his right hand in coat pocket) toward Wbittemorc's store; stumbled against J. L. Ray into store and in two or three minutes shooting began. C. R. Whitternore, a cousin and partner of defendant Defendant was behiud counter near scales. Roberts walked to Bud and said "What's that talk ?" Before Bud could reply Doc's pistol was partly out and Bud pulled his pistol and told Doc "If you raise your hand I'll shoot you." Witness left immediately, and was outside when shots began. Bud and Doc came out and scuttled and L5ud took Doc's pistol away from him. Heard "Big Jim" say, "Boy's don'tdo that, "and in a few minutes Jim started out exclaiming, "I'm killed." Heard talk that Roberts was a dangerous man. D. A. McMahan After the words passed, Roberts with a quick motion brought his pistol to a level with his waist and fired at Bud, who then fired at Roberts. Big Jim Whitternore was considered a dangerous man. When Roberts was excited be was considered a dangerous man. Robt. Whitternore was in store. After words passed Roberts pushed Bud's pis tol aside and fired at him. After fight went to mountains with Itud. Bud was behind the counter when Doc. came in, with his hands down. J. M. Whitternore Saw Roberts come in store and heard conversation between him and Bud, saw pistols pulled and then stepped up stairs. For the State John G. Anders was the first witness. Anders saw Roberts and Heusley go in Whittemore's store, fol lowed by Big Jim, who caught Hensley and pulled him back. Heard words be tween the men, then shots and directlv Big Jim came out with blood on his face, saying 1 m killed. A. Dllllcult Tank to Allot AmouK the Senators. Washington, March 8. The Demo cratic caucus committee on committees met promptly at half past ten o'clock this morning in Senator Ransom's com mittee room. There were present, Gor man. Blackburn, Ransom, Cockertll, Harris and Brice and White of Louisi ana. They entered at once upon the im mediate work in hand, which is the as signment of the majority places upon the Senate committees. In view of the magnitude of the task and the many del icate points to be settled in connection with the conflicting claims of veteran Democratic Senators to desirable chair manships, it would not be surprising if sevei al days were consumed in this work. It is expected a number of presidential nominations will be transmitted to the Senate when it reassembles tomorrow. These nominations will be referred to various committees for examination and report and the Democrats feel that it is essential that they shall be passed upon by friendlv committees, instead of being treated by committees at a present con stituted with Republican majorities. For this reason, if for no other, the caucus committee feels boucd to hasten the progress of its work, for even when a list of the majority membership of the committee is completed it must be sub mitted to a Republican caucus committee in order that the remaining places may be filled.

An Outline of the Work Done hi tlie Legislature for I lie W-Ht A Do if I.i-w Willi a Striate to It. State Senator John M. Campbell re turned last evening from Raleigh, where he had been during the session of the Legislature. Senater Campbell today gave Tiik CinziiN an outline of the work of the Legislature affecting Western North Carolina and Buncombe county. A resolution was passed requesting the State's representatives in Congress to endeavor to secure a national park for the western part of the State. The resolution originally named Grandfather mountain as the location, but this por tion was stricken out. An appropriation of $110,000 was se- ured lor the State hospital at Morgan- ton, and one of $1,500 for the normal trailing school in Jackson conntv. A dog law lor Buncombe county (the first dog law ever enacted in the State) was passed. This was in accordance with the bill as drawn up by the Bun combe county Farmers' alliance, with an amendment inserted by Senator Campbell. The amendment provides that before the provisions snail take ef fect a petition from a township desiring the law shall be presented to the county commissioners at their June meeting. This petition must be signed by two- thirds of the qualified votersof the town ship, and the commissioners must then call an election in tbe petitioning town ship. At the election if a majority of votes cast be "Against Dog tbe law will liccome operative in that township, A charter lor the town ol Biltmorc was procured. 1 he Watson bill, relating to tobacco warehouses, and aimed at the American Tobacco company and all trusts, died for lack ol a quorum, on Monday, tbe dav of adjournment. Senator Camp bell was a strong advocate of tbe. bill and made a speech ot an hour and a hall in favor of it on Saturday night. He says there were several hundred lodbv- ists In Raleigh working against the bill. but feels sure it would have passed, if it id come to a final vote. The bill providing for the issuing of 250,000 of bonds by the county of Buncombe lor the purpose of building macadamized roads throughout the county, was made a law. The bill pro vides that the countv commissioners shall call an election upon the petition ot one fourth of the voters ot the county and a majority of the qualified voters of the countv must vote for th issuing ot the bonds before it is done. The bill also provides for the construction of five ines ol macadam roads, beginning at the corporate limits ot Asheville. 1 lie bonds will be issued in $50,000 lots, and no additional bonds can be issued so long as $10,000 remains unexpended.

I'orter, who was charged with violating tbe law tor tnc prevention ot cruelty to ani mals, in shooting live pigeons from traps, has been received bv Criminal Court Clerk . R. Patterson. The opinion is given by Justice Burwell, and alter quot ing from tlie statute says: "By the special verdict it is found that the suffering and death for the permis sion or infliction of which the defendant is indicted, were so inflicted tor 'amusement and sport.' Man's desire for amusement and sport is no just ification for the infliction of suffer ing or death upon any of the creatures protected by the statue now under con sideration. It was enacted to protect the public morals, which the commission of cruel and barbarous acts tends to cor rupt. Since its enactment it has been unlawful in this State for man to gratify his angry passions or his love for amuse ment and sport at the cost of wounds and death to any useful creature over which he has control. Knowing that men of intelligence and refinement often differ as to what constitutes cruelty in one's treatment of dumb creatures, the Legislature has seen tit to define that word, and also the words, torture and torment, and has thus made its intent very plain." The decision affirms the judgment of the lower court. The fine was $5 and costs. The higher court's costs are $20.20. Worse Hrltftit and ICarl v. Washington, March S. When the clerks employed iu the Interior Depart ment reached their offices at 9 o'clock tbis morning they learned, to their aa tonishment. that their etiet, the new Secretary, had been hard at work nearly three tiuartcrs of an hour. The Sccie tary's office was crowded all the morn ing by Senators and Representatives who called to pay their respects to bee retarv Smith or to present for his con sideration the name of some candidate for official position. It is stated by those in position to know that the secretary has not definitely decided upon the ap pointment of any one lur tbe assistant secretaryships or other vacant places in his department. He fullv realizes that much of the success of his udministra tion will depend upon his official advis ors and therefore it is his purpose not to make appointments hurriedly or unail visedly. Secretary Herbert made 110 effort to transact business during tbe forenoon but devoted his time to the reception visitors. HOl'TIILKN GOVKKNOaS. HUNT'S PHARMACY.

At Iotig Island City the shock was especially severe, in many instances shaking pictures from the walls, and creating havoc among the chinawarc and bric-a-brac. At several points persons lied frisrhtcned from their houses to the street in their nightrobes, supposing the houses settling or falling. Most of these persons say a dull boom and strongly marked simultaneous trembling of the earth were perceptible. The seismic disturbances lasted several seconds, and then passed away in a southerly direction. THIS V. m. c A.
