Another Pistol
Shooter Fined
FRANK REYNOLDS SAID HE WAS
SHOOTING AT SOMEBODY IN
HIS YARD SUNDAY NIGHT
WHEN HE DISTURBED WHOLE
SECTION OF CITY.
A negro named Frank Reynolds was
up before Mayor Leigh this morning
on the charge of disturbing the peace
by firing a pistol Sunday, night at. his
home near White street, In that sec
tion of the city known as the Race
Track. He was released on the pay
ment of costs of court, which amount
ed to (1.95. His fusilade was among
the many shots heard that night In
different parts of the town, and owing
to good work on the part of the police,
he Is the second who has been arrest
ed on the charge.
In stating his case this morning be
fore Mayor Leigh, Reynolds said at
eleven o'clock he heard somebody
moving around in his yard and he at
once got his pistol and commenced
shooting at the noise. The shots caus
ed some little excitement and it was
comparatively easy for Chief Bell to
trace the disturbance to him. Under
the conditions, "however, which were
rather extenuating, he was not re
quired to pay a fine.
There are a number of persons, and
it Is evidently the same crowd, who
make a practice of shooting pistols on
the streets for no other purpose than
to disturb the peace and the officers
have made many fruitless attempts to
detect them. During the past few
days they have been more successful
than ever before and the public hopes
that the extent of the law will be used
in each case.
Not much stock was apparently tak
en in the "man in the yard" story of
Reynolds. In the present crusade, the
police hope to break up the disturb
ances, and no matter whether the
shots are fired on the street or in the
yard they will have to answer for IT

The Baby's Life
A small child, not more than eigh
teen months old, created considerable
notice last night on Main street, and
it is very probable that its life was
saved by Mr. R. H. Raper. The tot was
first seen nearly opposite the govern
ment lot, paddling along by itself,
It kept on Up the street and attracted
general attention when it passed the
corner of Main and Poindexter, on
which a crowd was standing. The child
continued to walk towards the wharf
and seeing this, Mr.- Raper followed
and when it had nearly reached the
water front, he took It In charge much
to the dissatisfaction of the child who
resisted and screamed the whole way
as it was brought back up the street.
When the corner was reached again,
the child was taken In charge by its
father, Mr. H. H. Lavensteiu, who had
been searching for it some time.
CONSTABLE TOSSED
" BY ENRAGED BULL.
St. Louis, Oct. 16. Deputy Constable
"William Egan, of Justice Spauldlng's
court, Is wearing a new suit of clothes,
the suit he formerly wore having been
destroyed by an infuriated bull while
he was serving a writ ot replevin.
The Jersey bull strayed away from
his owner, George Wright, some time
ago. He was picked up by Benedict
Kunekler. Kunekler advertised the
finding of the animal and Wright went
to Kunekler's place and claimed him.
The men disagreed aa to the amount
of compensation to be pafd for the
keeping of the bull and Wright
brought suit
fe sent a man with the constable
9 ,ng the bull home. The bull ob-
0el. Egan ran for a fence, but the
,-1l was upon him before the fence
was reached. The bull attempted to
gather the constable on his horns and
give him an upward toss. Fortunate
ly for the constable, the horns went
no farther than his clothing, which
was badly torn.
Messrs. Qirinn and Company, a well
known business firm of Kington, are
now negotiating to establish a big fur
nlture store In this city. They have
a representative here today and he
has already secured the store room In
the Hughes building on Water street,
directly opposite the Arlington hotel.
The store will be renovated thorough
ly and all changes made in the interior
to make it a convenient place for the
handling of a large stock of all varie
ties of furniture. As soon as the store
has been fitted, the stock will com
mence to arrive and within probably
another month, Elizabeth City will
have added another large, up-to-date
mercantile establishment to. Her al
ready long list.
At the present time it is not known
whether they will move their busi
ness from Kinston or whether this
will be a branch store, but the repre
sentative of the firm said their stock
would be ns large as any carried by
the present dealers, which means that
it will be among the largest in the
Stat.
COLUMBIA HISSES DIXON.
Columbia, S. C, Oct. 16 Probably
because the scene of the play is laid
at Piedmont, this State, one of the
largest audiences in recent years saw
Thomas Dixon's "ClaDsman" here last
night. That the play was not unani
mously approved was shown by the
hissing during the performance. Dur
ing the third act, after numerous calls,
the author appeared before the cur
tain. For several minutes Dixon stood
lacing the hissing, which was more
marked than at any other time before
he could speak. After some pleasant
references, he said:
"God ordained the Southern white
man to teach the lessons of Ayrian su
premacy."
In concluding, he said that he had
always observed there are two divlS'
ions in the South those who would
hiss and those who would applaud
those who are trying to portray the
true evils of the South,
There were scalawags then and
there are scalawags now," he concltid
ed.
After the performance, a party of
young men called at Dixon's hotel and
asked to see him. Aa if anticipating
hostility, Dixon declined their re
quest.. A note was then drawn up, in
which the young men expressed their
opinion of the play, and sent to the
author's room.
A prominent negro educator who
witnessed, the performance by Invita
tion, afterward declared that it would
hurt Southern prosperity more than
any other one thing. - He said it would
incite feeling between the races. He
termed Dixon's profits "blood" money.

Sioux City, Iowa, Oct. 16. While
driving in a hack from a hotel lo a
railroad station this afternoon, E. H.
Darrow, sixty years old, shot and kill
ed his son's wife Lillian Darrow, and
then Bhot himself dead in the Baine
place, the right temple.
The hack driver, without stopping
to Investigate, drove to a police sta
tion. Both occupants of the carriage
were found sitting upright on opposite
seats, dead.
The cause of the murder and sui
cide has not developed. E. H. Darrow
and his daughter-in-law came to the
Arcade Hotel on October 10, register
ing as "E. H. Darrow and wife." They
went away, but returned again Satur
day, and this afternoon started for the
railroad station, ostensibly to take a
train for Sioux Falls, the home of Mr.
Darrow'8 son. - . ' ! ,. ' '
' Letters were found on the, woman's
body, unsigned but apparently from
her husbands-indicating that they had
had trouble. The writer of the letters
protested undying love for the woman,
and said that he was dying of a broken
heart
Federal court convened yesterday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and the num
ber of spectators to find seats in the
court room exceeded that of the morn
ing session. Numerous criminal cases
were called as they appeared on the
docket but owing to different reasons,
not one of them was heard through to
a verdict, some being dismissed and
some continued. On the civil docket
one case was called and tried that of
H. T. Greenleaf against the Suffolk
Lumber Company. This commanded
a good deal of attention and the attor
neys for both sides made strong
speeches.
Cases Rapidly Disposed of.
Directly after court had convened
the case of United States -vs. L. H.
Griffin, of Martin county, was called.
The charge was removing and conceal
ing spirituous liquors. This was one
of the host known cases on the docket
and the spectators were all attention
when it was called. It was of short
duration however, being quickly nol
prossed with leave.
The next was United States vs. R.
E. Sample; the young man who re
mained in Jail here for several months,
being under arrest for using the mails
for fraudulent purposes. This case
against him was continued on account
of the fact that he, is now serving a
sentence in the penitentiary. . His
home is in Washington county..
The next appearing on the docket
was that of United States vs. John
Skinner, colored, of Perquimans coun
ty. Against him was the charge of re
tailing spirituous liquors, but It will
have to be called again, as John was
not present; In fact, he has not been
seen at all since shortly after he was
confronted with the charge.
The following case was exactly aim
ilar. only the defendant, who was Wll
Ham Halsey, was from Pasquotank
county. Halsey has not been fouad
since It became known to the officers
that he was retailing booze, and his
case was continued.
De Cormls Case Continued.
The next was the case of United
States vs. C. C. De Cormis, of Gum
Neck, In Tyrrell county, a case well-
known and mutfh discussed through
out the district since his arrest by
the government officers. The charge
against him was retailing liquor with
out license. On account of the ab
sence of a number of the defendant's
witnesses, the case was continued un
til next term, the defendant being re
quired to furnish ball in the same
sum he did before.
worked up the case expressed confl
dence that they could get sufficient
evidence to convict htm.
The next case was United States vs
Frank Rhodes, of Norfolk, for embez
zlement. Rhodes Is the young man
who, it is charged, opened mall pouch
es on the Norfolk and Southern train
and removed therefrom a large num
ber of stamps. The case was prompt
ly continued, the defendant being ab
sent. The next case to be called was that
of H. T. Greenleaf, Sr., against Messrs.
W. H. Bosley, of Baltimore, and T.
G. Skinner, of Hertford, or generally
known as the Suffolk Lumber Com
pany. Mr. Greenleaf brought suit to secure
an Injunction restraining the cutting
of timber from the vast tract of land
known as the Terry tract, which is
within a few miles of this city. The
injunction was dissolved and the re
moval of timber will continue.
This Is a case of long standing and
was started In Raleigh. While the
final settlement of the suit was pend
ing the lumber company continued to
cut timber and the suit yesterday was
merely to stop this. It will be finally
settled at Raleigh sometime in the
near future.
In the case yesterday able counsel
was employed by both sides and strona
speeches were made before the court.
Norfolk Couple
Married Here
MISS ESSIE- ALBRITTON BECAME
MRS. A. H.TUTTLE JUST BEFORE
NOON AT HOME OF SISTER,
MRS. F. W. ANDREWS THE FAR
NORTH THEIR FUTURE HOME.
An unusually beautiful home wed
ding was solemnized today Just before
noon at the residence of Mrs. F. W.
Andrews, on Walnut street, when Miss
Essie Albritton, of Bethel, Pitt county'
became the bride of Mr. A. H. Tuttle,
of Michigan, a travelling salesman
who visits this section at regular inter
vah1.
The parlors of the home had been
tastefully decorated in handsome
floral designs and when the party ha
assembled, each wearing becoming
costumes, the scene was one of great
beauty. The ceremony had been pre
arranged in every particular and at
the improvised altar the couple me
the Rev. II. M North, of City Roud
church, who performed his respective
part in a most Impressive manner.
After a delicious repast at the res!
dence of Mrs. Andrews, Mr. and Mrs
Tuttle were driven to the Norfolk and
Southern depot, where amidst a show'
er of rice and the congratulations of
many friends, they took the north
bound train en route to Boston, New
York and various other points of n-
terst, one of which places will be their
future home.
The bride is a sister of Mrs. F. W,
Andrews and an aunt of Misses Lela
and Mary Andrews, of this city, and
having visited here on several occa
sions, is quite well known.
CULLOM TO FIGHT TO INCREASE
POWER OF THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. William Oliver Breeden and
Misg Grade M. Trawer, are the names
of the well known and popular young
Norfolk couple who were married In
this city yesteday. Immediately after
arriving they went to the court house
and secured the necessary paper from
Register of Deeds J. C. Spence, their
names not appearing on the little list
Mr. Spence keeps in the back of the
book, to whom he has been requested
not to Issue license. From there they
sought Rev. A. P. Tyer at the Metho
dist parsonage, in the parlor of w'-'
they were made man and wife in a
most Impressive manner by the men
tioned minister.
They left on the la3t train in the
evening for Norfolk where they will
continue to reside.
This marriage was not in the form
of an elopement, as they generally are
when Virginia couples visit the city,
but was a simple case of taking advan
tage of the many conveniences thus
afforded. This was the second license
Issued here during the month.
Washington, Oct. 1G. Closely fol
lowing the criticism made by Dean
Rogers, of the Yale Law School that
the President of the United States is
possessed of too much power, It the
contention tonight by Senator Cullom,
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, .that the President
hould be given even greater power
in dealing with foreign nations.
The Illinois Senator proposes to
busy himself at his committee room
from now until Congress meets, and
he will have his hands full of "un
finished business," he says. More pow
er for the President is a very impor
tant part, of the unfinished business.
Attention of the country was first
brought to this country at the time
the President agreed with many for
eign countries on special treaties of
arbitration.
These treaties were rejected by the
Senate for the reason that Senators
thought they gave the President the
right to act In certain circumstances
without the "advice and consent of t
Senate." The treaties were beaten,
largely because at that time the Pres
ident was freely and harshly criticis
ed for hs acts n Panama, and especial
ly in San Domingo, in the latter case
he having been charged with desiring
to put into effect an agreement with
a foreign nation without the consent
of the Senate. ""
Senator Cullom Is a close friend of
the President. He proposes to follow
his chief in the matter of rate legisla
tion, and there is little question that
he will revive the arbitration treaties
in question.
