DECLARES THAT HE WOULD JOIN A
CHURCH LIKE ONE HE VISITED
IN MICHIGAN.
Kvcn if Bob Ingersoll was not
converted by the prayers of the
Christian Endeavors, it looks as
if he was weakening and might
soon adopt a diluted form of
Christian doctrine. Bob lec
tured at Kalamazoo, Mich., on
Friday last and during the after
noon friends took him to the
People's Church, of which Rev.
Caroline J. Bartlett is pastor.
This Church is run on tne in

Th is.-ill oleased Bob so much
that during his lecture he step
ped entirely aside from the sub
ject and declared that the Church
was the grandest thing in the
United States. He said:
If there was a similar church
at my home I would join it, if
permitted."
No part of Iugersoll's lecture
was as earnest as his indorse
ment of this Church, and after
the lecture was over some one
asked him if he really meant
what he said. He replied: "I
certainly do."
The folly of prejudice is frequently
shown by people- who prefer to suffer
for vears rather than try an advertised
remedy. The millions who have no
such notions, take' Aycr's Sarsaparilla

II CASE OP INFANTICIDE.
A Sequel to the Graveyard
Insurance Cases.
THE WIFE'S CONFESSION.
Sam Williams and Wife, of Beau
fort, Charged With The Mur
der of Their Newly
Born Child.
The town of Beaufort, N. C,
is stirred with excitement by the
rinding by two boys of a dead in
fant
in
the river. Suspicion
pointed to Sam Williams, one of
the defendants in the recent in
surance trials.
Williams, who was a widower
until a few days since, brought
home his blushing bride on
Tuesday the 7th iust., and but a
day or two afterward, Bessie, his
oldest child by his first wife
whom the insurance companies
accused him of getting rid of in
order to secure the insurance
moiu.y on her life, reported that
a baby had made its appearance
in the happy home of the newly
wedded counle. Friends who
, ...... r
hastened 10 congratulate tne ior
tunatc pair were met with a poss
itivc denial of the hirth of the
child, notwithstanding the fact
that Williams had informed
Mrs. Russell, the midwife to
whom he had gone, that his wife
was sick.
When the baby was found sus
picion at once pointed to the
Williams home, and parties who
went thither to investigate found
Bessie with a bruised face, which
she said her father had given
her for telling that there was a
baby about the house. She also
stated that she had been violent
ly beaten by him for telling it.
A coroner's jury has been sit
ting upon the case and brought
in a verdict that the infant was
born at the Williams' house, of
the body of Annie, Willliams'
wife; that the post mortem heli
bv Drs. Cook and Davis revealed
the fact that it was alive when
born and that it came to its
death either by violence or neg-.
lect at the hands of the aforesaid
Sam Williams or his wife, and
recommended that both be com
mitted to jail to await the action
- 1 . 1 j
or the errand YW ai nie next
term of Carteret county court.
Whereupon the coroner order
ed Williams to jail and put a
guard over the fair young bride
of two days until she could get
well enough to be moved to the
prison, and so .the young couple
will spend their honeymoon to
gether in a dungeon with the
awful clou 1 of approaching fate
casting its shadow across their
lives.
Lvi'Eii: Mrs. Williams, the
iS year old wife of the child
murderer, has mad? a confession,
which is as follows:
"I w a s taken Wednesday
morning at about 4 o'clock. I
called my husband and told him
that he had better go after a
doctor. He ret used, but finally
consented to go for Mrs. Russell.
He was gone about a half an
hour when he came back and
said that Mrs. Russell would not
come, and that it would be all
right as he had some experience
himself. The child was born
about 5:30 o'clock. He did not
dress the child, but allowed it to
stay in bed with me until Bess,
Sam's little girl, told the neigh
bors that I had given birth to a
child. He then took the baby
away from me, and carried it up
stairs. He said that he wasn't
going to have the child around
him, and that he was going to
dispose of it I pleaded with
him, and asked him for God's
sake not to kill my child. I told
him that if he would spare it,
and let me stay in the house un
til I was able to more that I
would leave him and take it to
my mother's, and that my moth
er would care for tis. He re
fused to listen to me. Sam left
home Wednesday night about 1
o'clock wiih a white bundle in
his arms. I asked him what he
had in that. He told me to keep
my mouth shut. He came back
home in half an hour and told
me that he had thrown the baby
in the river and that the wind
and tide was just right for tak
ing it out to sea. He told me
that he did not want to hear
another word about the matter;
if he did he would throw me
overboard. I was married last
Sunday. I told him of rny con
dition previous to marriage, and
that I didn't think that I would
be doing him justice it I married
him. I told him that Bill Guth
rie was the father. The child
cried aftei it was born, and was
alive when Sam carried it up
stairs.

In The Beginning
Of a new year, when the winter season
ofcloe confinement is only half gone,
many find that their health begins to
brek. down, that the least exposure
threatens sickness. It is then ae well
as at all other times, and with people
even in good health, that the following
facts should be remembered, uamelyr
that Hood's Sarsaparilla leaTls every
thing in the way of medicines; that it
accomplishes the greatest cure in the
world; has the largest sale In the world,
and requires the largegt building in the
-.vorld devoted exclusively to the prep
aration cf the proprietary medicine.
Does not this exclusively prove, if you
are sick, that Hood' Sanaparilla is
the medicine for yon to lake?
BQNNEH MURDER TRIAL.
Developments in the Trial of the
Men Accused of Murdering
J. B. Bonner.
Jury Selected
Able Counsel on Both Sides.
160 Witnesses in the Case.
On December 23, 1895, John
B. Bonner, one of the best and
most useful citizens of Beaufort
qounty, was foully murdered at
his home in Aurora, N. C.
Suspicion rested upon two
young white men named David
Cradle and W.H. Brantley. They
wt-re arrested and Cradle con
fessed the crime, but implicated
no others at first. Later he made
a sweeping confession and im
plicated two other young men
with Brantley as accomplices iu
the crime, namely: Uriah Bell
and Sherrell Bell. These were
also arrested and all were lodged
in the county jail at Washington.
The Bell boys and Brantley were
placed in the same cell together,
but Cradle was placed iu a cell
in another part of the jail, from
which there could be no possible
communication with the others.
A special court was set for
their trial last week, and Judge
R. F. Hoke was appointed to
hold the court. When the case
was calltd at the opening of the
court the counsel for the defense
put iu a plea of abatement. This
was overruled bv the court. A
special venire of 350 names was huterfere with me again. He

drawn from the jury box and the
case was then set for Monday,
January 13th, to give time for
getting all the jurors in court.
Monday morning when court
was opened all the jurors were
present. The work of selecting
the jury commenced and it was
8 o'clock at night when the jury
was completed. There are two
seperate bills of indictment one
against Cradle alone and the
other against the Bell boys and
Brantley.
The following compose the
jury, as selected: James T. Boyd,
John L. Peele, Joseph Robinson,
A. P. Lewis, E. S. Norfleet, F.

Weary, so weary of the burdens of life:
Weary of toiling and weary of strife;
Weary of parting and weary of night;
Weary, so weary, and longing for light
Wcarv, ?o weary of waiting alone ;
Weary of asking receiving a stone ;
Weary of watching weary 01 jeers;
Weary, so weary, of taunts and sneers.
Weary, so weary, but sometime I'll rest

No more to sorrow, no iore to weep;
Only to lie down and quietly sleep.
A PLUCKY LITTLE WOMAN.
SHOT THE MAN DEAD WHO AT
TEMPTED TO TAKE LIBER
TIES WITH HER-
Saturday Mrs. Mattie V. An
glier, wife of Frank Anglier. a
" J
cigar dealer and pool room pro
prietor, shot Charles H. Parker,
thirty-three years old, agent for
the Leavitt Machine Company,
of Athol, Mass., in her husband's
store at 1,431 North Charles
street, Baltimore, Md.
Parker i as taken to the city
hospital where he died at 2
o'clock. He had two bullet
wounds in the back of his head
and another in his left breast.
Mrs. Anglier, who is locked
up iu a cell at the Central Police
station, is a frail little woman
thirty years old.
To the police officer who ar
rested her she made the follows
ing statement:
"This man came into our place
several days ago and attempted
to take liberties with me. My
husband was not well and he
knew it. He grabbed me about
the waist, and after freeing my
self I told him if he attempted
such a thing again I would mur
der him. I was afraid oi hirn
and put a revolver in my pocket
to defend myself with, should he
came into the store to-day and
approached me again. When he
got near me he attempted to
catch hold of me. I then drew
the revolver and shot him. I
don't regret it, because I did it in
self-defence. He should have
let me alone and I would not
have shot him. He had no
right to enter our store."
The Angeliers are Italians and
have lived at Baltimore for some
time. They are known as re
respectable and thrifcy people
and have several small children.
Anti-Flirting Law a Fail
ure.
The effort to prevent by legis-
ative enactment flirtation witn
school girls seems to have been
unsuccessful. About two years
ago a law was passed in Virginia
making it a misdemeanor, pun-
shable upon conviction o a
fine, for any man to loiter about
a female school. The President
of a prominent Richmond female
college was tne nrst to attempt
a prosecution unoer un
1 ... ...
Later a similar attempt wa
made in one of the border cities
to convict a young man of ogling
the girls. His counsel, however,
1 . . . 1 . 1.
promptly gave notice mat ne
would subpoena all of the lady
teachers aud many ol tne gins
and biing them into court as
witnesses. Rather than subject
the ladies to this humiliation the
principal abandoned the prose
cution. This line of defence in
dicates the futility of convicting
flirters under the law, aud it will
be repealed.

SLEPT SEVEN YEARS.
A CALEPTIC SLEEP FROM WHICH
MEDICAL SC'ENCE COULD NOT
AH0USE HI W
William Depuc, a prominent
citizen of Bushkill, Pipe county,
whose mind for seven years has
boon a blank, has suddenly up
turned to consciousness. Mr.
Depue is very averse to discuss
ing the particulars oi" his unpa
railed case. Seven vears ao.
while at work. Mr. Dquic he'
came ill. Doctors were sum
moned, but they could rind no
possible ailment. The sick
man sank into a calcptic sleep,
from which medical science
could not arouse him. At no
time during the long period did
he recognize any one, and food
was given him through a tube
inserted in his mouth. He lost
no flesh and was apparently as
healthy as any man. Although
the best medical men in the
country were called to his bid
side, his case bathed them all.
Upon recovering his senses he
set about his usual labors as if
he had been asleep but the ordi
nary time. He remembers noth
ing that has taken place during
his seven years' trance. The
only result is that he is almost
blind, otherwise his physical
health is perfect.
