KINSTON INCENDIARISMS.
THREE NEGROES IN JAIL
CHRGEL) WITH THIS CRIME
rROFE DEVELOPING
AGAINST THEM.
The Kinstou people, we are
glad to say, seem at last to be
getting some developments rela
tive to the fire bugs who have
caused such destruction and are
keeping the town in dread of
further calamity by their evil
hands.
Three negro men have been
arrested and one Isiah Hill was
examined Friday. Alex. Rouse
who has been in jail longer than
any of the others being put upon
the stand, testified that Hill at
one time confessed to him that
he and another negro named
Hill Dove, wdio also is in jail has
set one of the big fires.
Hill was detected one night,
the early part of the week, in a
citizen's yard. He escaped but
was tracked to his home by a
policeman. This led to his ar
rest. He has been suspected be
fore. The general impression is that
the right ones are caught and it
can readily be imagined that the
fact is very gratifying to the
Kinston people. It is to be hoped
that the crime will be fastened to
all concerned in it beyond the
shadow of a doubt, and that they
may get the fullest penalty of the
law. Ncto Berne Journal
Th? New Woman.
In Michigan a woman deserts
her husband, gets a divorce and
marries another fellow to keep
him from filling a drunkard's
grave. She fails and will now
preach his funeral. This must
be "the new woman M you read
of in newspapers and magazines.
A world of such creatures would
be not far behind pandemonium
perhaps. Wil. Messenger.
Rev. Mr. Talmage Denounced.
The Rev. DeWitt Talmage,
who is engaged to lecture at Clear
Lake next Sunday, and for which
Sunday excursions are advertised
to run on all railroads centreing
at Mason City, Iowa, was round

and other pulpits of that city
Sunday. Mr. Talmage was se
verely censured for allowing
himself, for a monetary consider
ation, to be the causing of many
to desecrate the Sabbath.

REFORMATORY NEEDED.
an Example furnished in cuaven
county superior col'rt.
The New Berne Journal says :
The need for a reformatory for
youthful criminals, was again
exemplified in the Superior
court ol Craven county on Tues
day the 1 1 th .instant. Michael
Sykes, colored, who is sent up to
the penitentiary for three years,
is but a small street gamin, ap
parently about thirteen years of
age, but young as he is he is an
incorrigible little reprobate. It
seems about as natural lor him
to steal as to eat, and he has
been giving the authorities per-,
plexing annoyance for about half
his life, and if loose he would 110
doubt be stealing again within a
week.
When he would be caught it
was hard to tell what to do with
him because he was considered
too small to send to the peniten
tiary and there was no other
house of correction to receive
him, but something at last had
to be done, and to the peniten
tiary he goes. .
lie will stand as good chance
there of reforming as he would
running at large pursuing his
present course, and perhaps bet
ter, for he will have no opportu
nity to carry out his evil propen
sity and may perhaps be in
clined to do differently when he
again breathes the air of freedom.
Judge Bryan in sentencing him
spoke good words of advice to
him along this line.
Still it would be better if there
were a place where offenders like
him could be placed apart from
the old, hardened criminals, and
direct effort towards their recla
mation be made.
A bill for this purpose was in
troduced in the last legislature

We hope to see it

The Journal
and nearly all other papers of

establishment of such an institu

of time before we will have one
and we hope the time will be
short.

There he will meet the few

A Girl Hangs Herself.
Fifteen-year-old Kate McCoy,
rear of 1307 Laurence street,
committed suicide last night by
hanging herself in a third-story
bed room at her home. The sui
cide, her father, two brothers and
a sister live with a married sister
named Baker in a humble but
clean home. A few davs aT
Kate asked her unmarried sister
to buy her a new dress lor sum
mer wear. Her reouest was re
fused, so the sister says, for finan
cial reasons. Kate became an-.
gry, but subsequently she seemed
to be cheerful and it was thought
she had got over her disappoint
ment, bhe was last seen alive
about half-past 8 last Tuesday
evening. At that time she was
in a merry mood. About 9

TWO LIVES SAVED.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, 111, was told by her doctors she
had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles Dr.
Kings New Discovery completely cured
her, and she says it saved her life,
llr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St, San
Prancisco, suffered from a dreadful
cold, approaching Consumption, tried
without result everything else then
bought one bottle of Dr. King's New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured.
He is naturally thankful. It is such
results, of which these are samples,
that prove the wonderful efficacy of
this medicine in Coughs and Colds.

The Southern Railway has
bought the Atlanta & Florida
Railroad. The lin- is 104 miles
long and extends from Atlanta
to Fort Valley, in Use heart of
the peach section. At the price
paid about $275,000, the South
ern gets the road for about one
tenth of what it cost. The South
ern bu s it from theCentral Trust
Company of New York.
This deal nips several possible
railway extension schemes in the
bud. It keeps the Seaboard Air
Line out of Florida and the Plant
system out of Atlanta.
Samuel Spencer, President of
the Southern knilv.-.iv
nouuees that his company will
build a handsome and common
dious union station in Atlanta.
He invites all the other roads to
co-operate.
NEW ORLEANS.
According to the New Orleans
States, there is not a city in the
South that is making greater
progress at the present time than
the Crescent City. It says that
the finest electric system in the
country has just been completed
there, that work on the new
sewerage system is being pushed
actively, a new drainage system
has been planned and work will
shortly be commenced on it, and
that New York capitalists will
soon build a 1 ail road thirty miles
in length to a new shipping
point on the Mississippi, where
they will erect a grain elevator
and two large cotton compresses,
the railroad and improvements
to cost a million and a half dol
lars.
Open Mouthed Children.
If a child has a habit of sleeps
ing with its mouth open, in or
der to breathe, attend to the mat
ter at once, before that most
loathsome of all diseases, chron
ic catarrh, sets in. Any child
that breathes through its month
habitually certainly has some
thing the matter with its nasal
organs, and early treatment will
probably correct it, but it will
take patience and unwearied ap
plication to accomplish it.
Baptist University.
The Publical Recorder says: "It
would be worth a trip to Raleigh
to see the enlarged picture of the
Baptist Female University and
then go to the grounds and sec
the work going on. It has pro
ceeded just far enough to give
one an idea of the size and shape
of the building. We do hope it
will be finished without inter
ruption, and we beg the breth
ren to help Bro. Stringficld raise
the amount for the first payment
which will come due shortly.
Must Stay or go.
Secretary Carlisle has refused
to reverse his decision as to de
porting three Chinamen clerks
who are now at San Francisco.
These Chinamen left New Or
leans several months ago for
Bluefields with the intention of
settling there. They changed
their minds and returned to New
Orleans. Admission to the Uni
ted States was denied them and
they were ordered deported to
China. They have arrived at
San Francisco en route and the
Chinese consul there interested
himself in their behalfs claiming
they had a right to return to the
United States and that their de
portation is in violation of the
Chinese treaties. The treasury
department made an exhaustive
investigation into their case
when they were arrested at New
Orleans, aud Secretary Carlisle
sees no reason to change the de
cision then reached.
