Keuce lu BookkeeplaK,
In the Glover case yesterday afternoon
Dr. K. II. Rccyes was on tlic stand to
prove the charge of embezzlement. lie
was closely cross-examined by VV. W.
Jones. Capt. W. A. Dills was examined
as to tbc sale for $2,500 of a tract of
land to tbc Asheville Kaolin company.
He testified that he was paid $1,000 in
cash and that Mr. Glover guvc him a
note for $1,500; that he afterwards
credited $500 on this note, though thai
amount had not been paid hint; that be
was induced so to do l;y Mr. Glover's
reprcsentatins that n factory would be
erected on the land Dills sold to Glover,
thereby enhancing the value of Dills'
other land, aud also out of good will for
Mr. Glover whom he, Dills, considered
had befriended him.
Under Attorney Cobb's.cross-cxamiua-tion
of Dills, which was a poem in the
beguiling wav it led Mr. Dills on, Mr.
Dills swore that he endorsed this pay
ment of $500 on the note as paid, solely
on Mr. Glover's personal account, nnd
not as any return to the company, which
he bad not known in the transaction.

rested. Judge Armfield at once stated
that no case of embezzlement had been
made out by the State. Attorney J. S.
Adams struggled heroically against this
view, putting the opposite with proba
bly all the force there was in it and ask
ing time to gather authorities in support
of bia position. Judge Armtield said that
it would take an overwhelming list of
authorities to change his mind, and the
State dropicd the subject. Later Judge
Armtield directed the jury to find a ver
dict ol not guilty, on the ground that
according to the State's own showing,
if any offense were committed at all it
was not embezzlement, the one charged
in the bill.
The ease ot State against Glover for
obtaining $U.500 from A. . Lyman by
means of false representations was then
taken up and after the testimony of Mr.
Lyman had been heard Judge Arm field
said the State could not sustain the
charge aud had failed to make out any
case, and directed that a verdict of not
guilty lie entered. Judge Armtield added
that he was convinced that t lie State s
attorneys had been misled by their
clients.
At the meeting 4i the court this morn
ing Mr. Adams, tor the prosecution,
asked that the court bind Glover to the
next term of Criminal court, so that a
new bill might be sent against him for the
Dills transaction, presenting it as false
pretense instead ol embezzlement. This
Judge Armtield declined to do, stating
that he had heard nothing of the case
TfsAAT i I T M T TTTl Y R I except what had come from the proscen
ia W VV XjJjJj CX. 01 llX-.tV tion and thnt while he had heard noth
ing of defendant's side, yet from the
State's testimony heard he could not sec
that a crime had been shown, and there
fore would not hold the defendant to
bail. The ludge stated further that the
evidence for the State showed negligence
in bookkeeping, but at the same tunc it
might have been inadvertence upon the
part of defendant, and tlieie was no
I evidence of criminality.

Horicautoii District Conference In
Session at Marlon.
Garden City, N. C, Aug. 17. The
gentle rain has come again, this being
sufficient to mature all field crops. The
farmers arc glad and the merchant
smiles. The good wheat crop and scarcity
of money has made corn worth some
more this season than wheat.
The McDowell court convenes in
Marion next Monday with Judge Boykin
in the chair. Some interesting and im
portant cases will come up In this court.
The Morganton District conference,
composed of about ten counties, opened
in Marion today with liishop W. V.
Duncan of Spartanburg, S. C, presiding.
A large attendance and much interest is
expected at the conference. This is the
first time a bishop has presided here.
Mr. Gillespie, who was so severely
scfOded in the blowing up of Rev. M. L.
Kaj lor's saw mill boiler, has almost re
covered from his painful injuries.
Mr. Tom Finlcy, who was accidentally
shot on last Sunday, is now recovering.
The second McDowell county Sunday
school convention was closed in Marion
on the 6th. The attendance was not ns
large as the last one, but the good ac
complished in the county is highly en
couraging. Twice as many children at
tend Sunday school in the county as did
a year ago. This was bronght about
by the instrumentality of our re potts in
last year's county convention. Then we
appointed a committee of three, each of
a different denomination, to travel over
the cntirccounty, lecturing in the interest
of a revival of the Sabbath schools. The
result thus attained is that a much
greater interest is manifested in this part
of the church's work. Ours is a union
work of all denominations for the good
that may be done. At the convention
Mr. V. G. Hunter was elected president.
The secretary, Kcv. Wm. II. White, and
Kev. John C. Urown were elected dele
gates to the State Sunday school con
vention, which meets in Greensboro on
the 22-24 of this month.
Speaking with all due respect, the
Congressional mill is grinding, but the
grist comes down slowly. When, in
what manner nnd how much money will
they put in circulation for the great
relief needed ? The interest of the country
first. Senator Vorhee's bill, with Sec
retary Carlisle's recommendation to put
$10,000,000 in circulation is eminently
to the point. Let us have it soon. But

But Repeals T tie sneruiau Act
Unconditionally.
Washington, Aug. 13. The silver de
bate opened promptly the morning in the
House witb a speech by Sibley (Demo
crat) Pennsylvania, in favor of bi-metal-isms
ami the Johnson interconvertible
bond proposition.
The Senate finance committee this
morning- agreed upon and later reported
to the Senate a bill for the repeal of the
urcbasing clause of the Sherman act ,
accompanied by a declaration in favor of
bimctalistn. The bill comes as an origi
nal measure, not as a report upon any
ill previously presented.
Mr. Harris, president pro ton, pre
sided over the Senate today in the ab
sence of the vicc-Prcsidcut. A motion to
adjourn over until Monday was made
n the Democratic side, resisted on the
ground of the necessity of action on
uancial measures, and finally with
drawn on Voorhccs announcing that be
would ask the Senate to proceed with
the consideration of the National bank
circulation bill. He then reported from
the finance committee a bill to suspend
he purchase of silver bullion under the
Sherman act, with a declaration in the
bill that it is the policy of the United
States to continue the use of both gold
and silver as standard money and to
coin both gold and silver into money of
equal intrinsic and exchangeable value.
A substitute for the bill was rcoorted
from the minority of the committee, Har
ris, Vance, Tones, Arkansas, Jones, Ne
vada and Vest, fixing the number ot
grains of silver in United States coins at
4G4 3-10 grains of pure silver per dollar
and proportionately for minor silver
coins.
The bill and the substitute were order
ed printed and placed on the calandar,
and Voorbees gave notice that he would
call them up next Tuesday.
lue bank circulation bill was then
taken up.

A Csr Load Condemned lv the
Board of HealtU aud Cut l'i.
The Asheville Board of Health has
manifested its existence and alertness in
no uncertain way to the watermelon
traders.
For several days past the members of
the Board have had their eyes on tbc
melons offered for sale under the trees in
Tcutville and in the store adjoining A.
Whitlock on South Main street. This
morning the Board, with toe exception
of the sick member, Alderman II. L.
Gudgcr, visited these places in a body.
After an examination the entire
batch was condemned as endangering
the health ot the city.
I here was a car load or more ot the
melons thus condemned, aud they be
longed to Carrington & Duckworth.
Some of the melons, it is said, had been
on hand nearly two weeks. District
Health Officers Noland and Rogers were
placed in charge of the condemned mel
ons, and had them hauled in wagons to
t IVarson s bridge on the trench Broad,
where they were cut up and dumped into
the river.
The Board of Health will keep a strict
watch over all of the melons kept on this
market.
Also a Ule-Hearled Major aud a
Barbecue.
Alexander, N. C, Aug. 1G. Ou Tues.
day last the completion of the new road
from Alexander to Itlackwcll's Springs
was celebrated by Major Blackwcll in
the presence of many gutsts from the
hotel and several visitors from Asheville.
A barbecue with all the required accom
paniments was provided for the convict
workmen by the Maior.
Wlule the detail of cooks and workmen
was busied with preparations for the
table the remainder indulged in singing
accompanied: Dy instrumental music.
The convicts enjoyed, certainly for the
first and perhaps it will prove the only
time, contact with kindness and sympa-
thv among those who have been bene
nted by their labors. Not sympathy
with the cause of their present condition.
but a hearty desire to exhibit in the
most ellective manner the generous
character of a true life, prompted the
great hearted Major to give them such
an acceptable day of feasting.
There is much credit due to the skillful
engineering ability of Capt. White, who
has supervised the construction of the
entire road, a remarkable piece of buiid
ing tat will bear favorable comparison
with almost any other in this part of the
country. if.

New Yokk, Aug. 18. Acrowd of more
than 5,000 men out of work forced tbc
doors of Walballa hall on Orchard street
because admittance was denied them.
The police succeeded in partly dislodging
the crowd. Those forming the crowd
were mostly Hebrews and represented
principally the clothing trade.
Oa almost all of the cast side street
coi ncrs stood groups of unemployed men
with angry looks and determined faces.
They said that hunger has made tbcm

We have hearts," said one man, "and
when we bear our children crying for
food we feel it. Wc love our children as
well as the rich man likes his."
The police found it a difficult task to

to arrest seven more ot the disorderly
crowd. .

Manitau, Col., Aug. 1G. Governor
William T. Stone, of Missouri, arrived
here today on a tour of recreation.
Speaking of the President's message h
said : "Mr. Cleveland has taken a false
position, I tlijnk. lie has not, to my
mind, taken hold of the real cause of the
trouble at all. The Sherman act has
had almost nothing to do with it. VV
are suffering from a stringency in the
money market. There is too little cas
to do our business. To me its 'ems that
our political doctors will be about
sensible if they entirely demonetize silver
as those old lime barber surgeons wuo
used to bleed a man on principle, no
matter what ailment he had.
"I'm a Democrat, a free trader, and a
free silver man. I am also inclined to lie
optimistic. I am confident that if the
Senate agrees to repeal the Sherman act
it will only be because it will at tbc same
time pass a far preferable substitute.
The 1 'resident's message necden't frighten
our people to death. He is President,
but he is not Congress. It is not what
he wants, but what he proves, that
counts. In my opinion he has proved
nothing.'
