Sanderlin, for many years a prominent figure in the religious and public life of North Carolina, died Monday morning at 5 o'clock at a sani tarium in Baltimore, where he has been under treatment for more thau a year. His remains were taken to Raleigh, N. C, and interred in Oakwood cemetery. Dursng his early life he de voted himself to the ministry, and he was among the foremost pulpit orators in the Baptist de nomination. Declining health forced him to give up his chosen labor After returning to his farm in Wayne county he was honored by the people of his State, who elected him Auditor of the State in 1888. In 1892 he came near receiving the nom ination for Governor on the Democratic ticket. He made a brilliant campaign, and was af terwards appointed auditor in the department of the interior by President Cleveland. After his retirement in 1896 from this position Dr. Sanderlin's health began to tail. He continued his residence in Washington un til the time of his death. The deceased was one of the State's mo.ct honored citizens. He was brilliant in intellect, cultured, modest and brave. He was held in warm affection by the people of his State. George W. Sanderlin, LL. D., was born in Camden county, February, 1843. His father was Maxey Sanderlin, Esq., of Scot tish descent, a highly respected and honored planter. Dr. San derlin was oue of thirteen chil dren, his mother being Martha Sanderson, of Currituck county. After attending the schools in Elizabeth City Dr. Sanderlin entered Wake Forest College, which he left in August, 1861, to enter the Confederate army. However, after the war he was recognized as a graduate of the college and given a diploma crediting him in the class of 1862. Dr. Sanderlin enlisted as a private in Company E, Thirty third Regiment, North Carolina Volunteers, under Col. C. M. Avery. He was rapidly pro moted and soon became cap tain. On several occasions he commanded the regiment. For gallantry at New Berne he was promoted to third lieutenant On the third day of the battle of Gettysburg Lieutenant Sander lin led his company in a charge on the enemy's breastworks. For this be was made captain. Captain Sanderlin participated in many important battles. Among others were New Berne, Hanover Court House. Seven Days Fight around Richmond, Cedar Run, Warrenton Springs, Second Bull Run, Second Manas sas, Chantilly, Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg, Antietam, Freder- icksburg, Wilderness, Chancell orsville, Gettysburg, Hagerss town. Falling Waters, Snicker's Gap, Mine Run, Spottsylvania Court House, Petersburg, Fus sel's Mill, Burgess' Mill, Bed 5eld and Hare's Hill. He com manded 300 sharpshooters at Petersburg, repelling with this force 3,000 Federal troops at Jones' Farm. At Appomattox Captain Sanderlin was with his regiment fighting when General Custer rode up and announced the surrender of General Lee. Captain Sanderlin was at the side of General Maxey Gegg, of South Carolina, when he fell at Fredericksburg, and he was also in a few steps of Geu. L. O B. Branch and Stonewall Jackson when those gallant heroes fell. Mr. Sanderlin was three times wounded. He served four years participated in forty battles, was only once in the hospital, was never taken prisoner, was given one brief furlough, aud missed scarcely a skirmish, fight or march in which the Army of Northern Virginia participated. General Hoke has said of Caps tain Sanderlin : "I know his war record thoroughly. I know that he was always present for duty." At the close of the war Cap tain Sanderlin settled in Eliza beth City, but feeling called to the ministry be entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Greenville, S. C, and graduated with honor in 18- 97. During his academical and collegiate course he graduated in seven languages, and as a classi cal and scientific scholar he had a wiae reputation. After leaving the seminary he did general Sabbath School work for one year in North Carolina. In 1868 he was ordained to preach in Wake Forest chapel. Subse quently he assumed charge of the church at Goldsboro, but resigned after three years to make a tour of Egypt and Palestine with Dr. John A. Broadus, who was waiting in Rome, but miss ing the steamer Dr. Sanderlin had to abandon the trip. About this time, while in Baltimore, he preached in Franklin Square Baptist church with such power that when Rev. Dr. J. B. Haw thorne resigned Dr. Sanderlin was unanimously called. lie en tered upon his charge in 1871, and resigned in 1876, his ardus ous work having so undermined his health that he was compelled to retire from the active minis try. Dr. Sanderlin then settled at Goldsboro and turned his atten tion to agriculture and writing for various publications on agri cultural lines. He became v; ide ly known throughout the State, and in i?88 he accepted the nom ination for State Auditor from the Democratic party. He won a great reputation as an able, effective speaker and campaign er, and in Tanuary, 1889, entered upon his duties as State Auditor. The deceased was a prominent candidate for the nomination for Governor in 1892 when Gov ernor Elias Carr was named. He participated brilliantly in the campaign, and in 1893 was ap pointed by President Cleveland fourth Auditor of the Treasury. Dr. Sanderlin then removed to Washington, where he has since resided. He resigned his posit ion in the Treasury Department after the inauguration of Presi dent McKinley, but he and his family continued to make Wash ington their home. The deceased was a man of the highest sense of honor and as sympathetic and tender as a woman. He was always deeply interested in church work and in education. He was vice-president of the Baptist State Con vention and a trustee of Wake Forest College. The degree of LL. D. was conferred on him by both Wake Forest and Judson Colleges. He was also an Odd Fellow and a member of the Knights of Pythias. Dr. Sanderlin married Miss Eliza W. Wooten, daughter of Colonel Wooten of Lenoir county, and they had six child ren, four of whom are living. He has numerous relatives throughout the State. He leaves a wife aud four daughters, Misses Eeulah, Georgia, Pattie and Rosalie. CONFESSES ARSON, UP. PAYS Adam Keener, Converted at Re vival, Restores Money. i . , ' ' ' 1 York, Pa., November 3.

Not finding it, he thought of suicide and actually made an attempt to end his life by hang ing, but his courage oozed out as the rope began to choke, and then he returned to the solace of repertence and ultimate confess ion. "If there are any of my friends here," he cried, "they will do me a favor by going to Mr. Spangler, the insurance agent, aud telling him I did this and will pay back the money. And if there are any firemen here who served at the fire and did not get paid for it I will pay them if my means hold out." Keener told also how he bought three candles while on an excursion to Tolchester, Md., and experimented with them up on his return home in order to carry out his subsequent effect ual attempt to burn the build-s ing. He confessed to saturating the walls and lumber with oil and to placing a gallon of gaso line in each of the rooms. After the services he went to George Spangler, the agent with whom he had insured, and call ing him to the door made a vers bal confession, which was after ward put in writing. Mr. Spang ler made a report to his compan ies, and as Keener made full financial reparation to-day they waived the privilege of prosecut- TUESDAY'S ELECTION. Elect ion Held In States. Twelve ing him.
