THE KICKER WAS ON VIEW THE CRANK TURNED BY PORTLY GENTLEMAN. Is S. O. Wilson Good or Bad?-The Governor in Two Minds About It Can't Oust the Commissioners Shy on Provisions. RALEIGH, N. C, Sept. 3. It is the Republicans who are repudiating Gov ernor Russell. Of course they know there is no use talking about impeach ment. A Republican said: "He has no friends and no following in our party. It is practically unanimous against him." It is said on all sides that the tkvernor has been made a catsaw, to satisfy some private grudges, and that he knows he has made a great mis take. When the railway commissioners en tered their ofllcc yesterday they found a picture representing a portly gentle man in his shirtsleeves, turning a crank, which moves a kicking machine, whieh has six feet, each with a big ooot. J. lie w heel as it revolves puts eacn ooot with great force where it "does the most good." Two of these ooots near tne name of a Senator, two of a judge, and two of an editor. The picture is framed and on view. Thert is no name on the portly gentleman, but no such identification is needed. Is Otho Wilson a good man or a bad one.' It is ouite a Chinese nuzzle. Km instance last week he received a docu ment from the Governor commission ing him as a delegate to represent the State at the Rate Convention at Oma ha September 2, the document express ing complete confidence in his integri ty, good sense and loyalty to the people of North Carolina. 15ut next day Otho received from the governor a notifica tion to appear before him September 1 to show cause why he should not be suspended for high crimes and some misdemeanors. Again, Otho Wilson is made the proxy, the official representative, of the railway commission at the hearing be fore Judge Simonton at Wilmington of the injunction matter as regards the reduction of rates on Western Union telegrams. He thought they would have the Attorney General on hand to aid him in representing the State. Now he says he learns that the Governor has. without consultation with him, em ployed four attorneys in the case. The Governor is notable for lawsuits and attorneys. The prevalent opinion here all along has been that it was the Governor's purpose to oust two of the commission ers, liut he can't do it. Figuratively speaking, they snap their fingers at him. and expect to stay just where they are. Rev. Dr. 1. R. Randall, colored, suc ceeds Rev. Dr. T. W. Jtabh as pastor to the convicts at the Caledonia peniten tiary farm on the Roanoke. If Otho Wilson's Hayseeder does ap pear again it will give some racy read ing. Some of Otho's frienas are say ing he will skin Senator Rutler and nail his hide against the side of . the house. He is rertainlv thoroutrhlv mad ' and disgusted with the Senator about this railway commission bbusiness. New Hanover's report to the State board of tax equalization gives 78.627 acres of land, average value Jb.4a; town lots, average value $loS5.!8. The people there appear to he, to use a sporting phrase, very "shy on provis ions, as only $obu is reported on hand. It appears that there came very near being trouble at Henderson during and after the execution of Hrodie. There was a lot of talk by negroes against the death penalty for rape, and it saui negro women were vehement in their language and were the' inciting force. The police made several arrest and stopped incipient rows. Director Smith of Bessemer City, of the N. C. R. R., says Father Worth's son Hiram is secretary to the treasu rer, Mr. Walton. Director Smith says the men who signed the treasurer': bond did exactly right to make a Wil mington bunk a depository. The State keeps in the arsenel a sup ply of camp equipage and blankets for the State Guard. As to overcoats they have been in the possession of compa nies. Rut so gross is the carelessness regarding them that they are all order ed in and will be kept at the arsenal and issued when needed, just as blank ets are. Many changes in the arrangement of the State museum began yesterday. The natural history collection is to ie placed in the room now devoted to minerals, the latter going to the long room where the woods and timber have been show n. The woods are be inir removed to the lower room in the annex recently completed. An upper loom of the annex will be devoted to geological specimens, building stones. etc. The natural history room will be devoted to ethnology. FOR THE LIBRARY.

"TIME WILL TELL." What Collector Harkins Says of His Appointing Power. Collector Harkins now has his mind made up, if he has not had it made up some time, as to his powers of appoint mem in certain instances in the reve nue department. He holds that he has this power under section 3148 of the 1 lev ised Statutes, which reads: 'Each collector shall be authorized to appoint, by an instrument in writing, under his hand, as many deputies as he may think proper, to be by him compensated for their services; to re voKe any sucn appointment, snvine sucn notice tnereot as the Commission r of Internal Revenue may prescribe: aim 10 require ana accept bonds or ther securities from such deputies Each such deputy shall have the like luthority, in every respect, to collect the taxes, levied or assessed w ithin the portion of the district assigned to him. which is by law vested in the collector himself; but each collector shall, in ev- ;ry resiiect, be responsible both to the I nited States and to individuals, as the case may be, for all moneys col lected, and for every act done or neir- lecttct to be done by any of his depu ties while acting as such. The Collector holds that these depu ties should be appointed by him, as he alone is responsible to government and individual for the acts of these officers. who are his agents. He has already ap pointed eight out or 13 deputy collec tors, and said today that he had not exercised his authority to make all the appointments immediately because of certain conditions that make it to the service's interest not to do so. This district, he said. Is the most difficult in the United States to operate, and he did not think it wise to make all the appointments at once, preferring to go about it gradually to avoid any hitch in the administration of the affairs of the district. "But time will tell," he added, significantly. The clerkships in the Collector's of fice are deputy collectorships, with the exception of the othce held by li. v Williams, and according ..to the Collec tor are under his appointing power.

UHGERTS WIFE S RINGS Found in the Vat and Identi fied by Woman Friends. ENGAGED TWO DETECTIVES VISIT TO NEW YORK TO GET TRACK OF MRS. LUETGERT. Want to Prove One Crotty a Per jurer Two Stories About Detec tives. CHICAGO, Sept. 3. At the Luetgert murder trial today the cross examina tion of Police Captain Sehuetler was resumed. Attorney Vincent, for the de fence, asked to have stricken from the case the captain's statement that he did not go to New York to find out whether Mrs. Luetgert had been seen there alive, but to look up the reputa tion of Crotty, a man who said he had met her on Broadway. Vincent said the statement was prejudicial. The court refused to sustain the mo tion, and Captain Sehuetler told of his trip to New York and his investigation of Grotty's reputation. He said the state wanted to be prepared to prove he was a perjurer im he appeared in the case. Police Lieutenant George Hutchinson corroborated the testimony of Sehuet ler as to the visit made by him and Sehuetler May 8 to Luetgert at the lat ter s home to secure frum him a state ment regarding the disappearance of his wife. He said Luetgert stated he had hired no detective to look for his wife, although he had previously told Bicknese he had engaged two nrivate detectives. Officer Walter S. Dean of Sheffield station introduced the subject of the rings found in the vat in the sausage factory. It was officer Dean who found two gold rings in the vat, in which it is charged Mrs. Luetgert's body was dissolved in caustic potash. The of ficer told of the examination of the vat and the discovery of trinkets in the same manner as it has been related by oiner witnesses. He was followed by Mrs. Ida Harris who was the first of a series of wit nesses who identified the rings as hav ing been worn by Mrs. Luetgert. Mrs. bopnie Tuohne testified tha.t she had a conversation with Luetgert May 8 regarding the disaDDeara.net- of his wife. He told her he had paid J20 to two- private detectives and told her there was more money for them if thev neeeded it. Mckinley at a fair. The President and Mark Hanng Out for a Time.
