Blacknall-Wells Filling-A Safe With a History Green Peas RALEIGH, N. C, Nov. 12. The fun eral of Dr. George W. Blacknall was held here yesterday afternoon, .ms daughter, Mrs. Clowes, arrived several days ago, and his two sons, George and John, came yesterday. W. W. Fuller of New York, Frank Fuller of Dur ham, Julian S. Carr and H. A. Reani alio came to attend the funeral. Dr. Blacknall's mother lives near Kittrell, and is almost 90 years of age. Ex-Senator Ransom, who was a great friend of Dr. Biacknall, expected to attend the funeral, but missed the "train at Garys burg yesterday m.rning and telegraph ed his regrets. Prof. Masey writes this letter to the commissioners of agriculture: "Think ing further on the subject of the 'brier wood,' which is evidently the root ot our native kalmia laftifolia (or laurel) it i ccurs to me to say that I cannot understand how this wood can be im ported, since the kalmia is .a genu: which belongs exclusively to North America. Can it be possible that the rough wood is exported and returned here in the .shape of pipe blocks? 1 know of ni country where It grows outside of Nortih America, if we ex cept a single genius which is found In Cuba The blocks used may be im ported from Canada, and if this is the case it is time for the mountain coun try if North" Carolina to put a stop to this trade. We have mills all through the mountain section which are making telegraph insulator pins out of 'the na tive locust and these mills could as easily -make pipe blocks if not turn out the pipes complete." Sp rtsmtin report wild turkeys to be plentiful, and some have been killed within three miles of Raleigh. In fact it is a good year for game generally. The slaughter of partridges is rapid. Market hunters are numerous and two killed 80 one day "this week. Wells and springs which have been dry are filling very slowly. Streams are again filling. The deficiency in rain fall here this year aggregates over 18 Inches ine trucKers an una .Newbern are shipping the second crop of green peas. There is a fine second civp of Irish po tatoes. It is expected that about 1000 bushels of these will be shipped and prices are high Shipments of green peas have continued for three weeks J ne cotton growers as a rule must have by this time begun to realize that 'they p'jinted more cotton this year than . ni'.v could pick, some of them yet speak i f cotton as a "money crop." There is no money in it. Cornelius B. Edwards, well known as a capital shot at partridges, shows a rare English work on hunting which tells of a sow which for over 10 years point- I and retrieved partridges in a better style than any dog in England. At her master's death she was bought for $31 She then weighed 700 pounds, bu: up to the very day she was killed did her wonderful work in the field These statements regarding her are authenti cated. Dogs were reluctant ti hum with her. as she put them to shame very frequently. In a corner of Brockwell's repair shops here stand a safe with a history. It is the. one which the notorious Mil ton L.

Joseph S. Adams, of Counsel for the Bank Officials, Speaks of State ment Made Concerning tha First National Case. Of the statements brought out by the anonymous letter received by Judge Dick Monday, none was of so deep In terest to the creditors of the First Na tional bank as was that by District Attorney Holton, when he said refer ring to the suggestion of a continuance to -the "May term of the case against Messrs. Breese, Penland and Dicker-son: "This was made by the comptrol ler upon a suggestion from these bank officers that they would make whole the depositors." In order to learn what ground there was for Mr. Holton's statement. The Citizen sought Joseph S. Adams ,one ot he counsel of the bank officers. In re ply to queries Mr. Adams said: 'There has never been any sugges tion of making the depositors whole, nor is there any hope of ever making them whole. Certainly no one was ever authorized by the defendants to make any such suggestion. Judge Moore, one of their counsel, in a conversation wit the comptroller did suggest that the friends and relatives of the defend-, ants might be willing to help them if t would do any good. Inquiry was also made of the comptroller whether. f these men could show to his satis faction even if it should turn out that they had violated the law it was not done for the purpose of improving their fortunes, tout in the hopes of saving the bank, and they could further show they had saved nothing from the wreck. here would be a possibility of settling these cases. 'While the comptroller did not com mit himself, he as a humane man was bound to say these .things would be considered. It was then suggested by Judge Moore that it would be impossi ble to even hnd out what could be done before the November term that the cases were not in condition to try In any event, and that he hoped the gov ernment would not press for trial at this term. "All the talk about paying off all the lepositors grew out of this conversa tion with the comptroller. The defend ants, in the event of the cases beine settled, would be willing to surrender tneir homesteads, which is all they have left.

SAN QUENTIN, Cal., Nov. 12. At torney Eugene Deuprey of counsel fot Durrant has arrived here from Sacra mento, having crossed the bay in a steam launch. The purpose of this trip was to make personal service on Warden Hale of the certified copy ot the order probable cause issued by the Supreme court at Sacramento de laying the execution. The precaution of this personal ser vice was that there might be no pre text for hanging Durrant. Warden, Hate had stated early that he was in. doubt as 'to what course to pursue. However, he finally decidea to act upon the following dispatch re ceived from Prison Director Devlin of Sacramento: "Supreme court made an order and has stayed all proceedings until further order of court. Accordingly you will postpone the execution." After reading this Warden Hale said that there would he ni hinging to day. The postponement was brought about in this way: Attorney Duprey went to Sacramento and applied to the State Supreme court for a writ of probable cause for the purpose of staying the proceedings against his client upon the grounds that no official knowledge of the action' of the Supreme court lof the United (States in the matter of Dur rani's appealing from ithe decision of the Federal court had yet been re ceived; that the Superior court toad acted too hastily in sentencing Durrant to be hanged Friday. a the law re quired that he be given laTIeast 60 days grace; and, thirdly, that the pendency or an appeal in the Supreme court af fecting the condemned was "of itself sufficient cause for a stay of execution. The matter was cartiallv arcned In chambers and later argued before the tun court and taken under advisement bnortly afterwards the aourt an nounced its decision granting the writ applied for, in which all the lus-tices oonturrea.

WICHITA, Kan., Nov. 10. A Jury composed of full-blooded Cherokees, who were selected to try M M. Rowe, a half breed, for the murder of How ling Wolf, an Indian, inaugurated a new system of Jury precedure by hold ing a meeting in the woods several days previous to the trial. During the trial at the SaLine Dis trict court house at Pryor Creek, I T., yesterday, the jury sat in the jury box with looks of stolid indifference, and paid no attention to the evidence. When the case wus given to them and they filed into the Jury roijm, the fire man drew two lines, and instructed those w?ho believed the man guilty to place a small stick on one of the lines, and those who .believed him innocent to ornament the cther line in a similar manner. In accordance with their pre arranged verdict all placed the sticks on the line signifying guilty. The court then sentenced Rowe to be hanged on December 24. The govern ment will abohish these Indian courts on. January 1, as they are honey combed with corruption and have no conception of the value of human life. N. Y.
