UOVD.OF OMIW ASX MIUUTIA TO rmE AT CONEV ISLAND New York, May 26. — A big fire, entailing a loss that will exceed >o,000,C^, started at Coney Is land at 2 o’clock this morning and was not under control until 8. Dreamland, fronting the ocean, ,va^ completely wrecked. Cap- :ain Ferraris’ animal show, the oiggest in the country, was also destroyed, most of the animals being shot to prevent their es cape into the crowds. T eltman’s roller coaster was bunied to the ground. It is thought that the fire itartsd from either crossed eiec^ :ric wires or a cigarette stump inside one of the shows. The riremen bravely risked their lives in effort to control the fierce blaze. The fire beats from Man hattan and Brooklyn pumped ions of water from the oeean be- "ore the lire was extinguished. The care-takers lost their heads and opened the cages containing 'ions, tigers, baboons, leopards and other wild beasts, which charged the crowds and gave bat- endangering lie to the firemen, many lives. Six incubator babies were sav ed at the imminent risk of losing his own life by Police J. J. Krink, All the babies will live. SOOTH CAKOLINA DEMOCRAT APPOINTED DISTRICT JilDfiE THE SUPREME COURT Washington, May 25.—Preoi- dent Taft iate yesterday announc ed the appointment of Henry A. Smith, of Charleston, S. C., as district judge of South Carolina. Mr. Smith is a Democrat. The appointment of Judge Smith was made upon the recom mendation of Senator Smith, of South Carolina. He will succeed Judge Brawley, who retired re cently on attaining his 70th birth day. Judge Smith is about 57 years of age, a lawyer of great learning and ability, and has practiced law for over 35 years. According to a statement given out at the White House the new judge comes of a splendid family; is a man of the most exemplary personal character and is closely associated with the best of his tory of South Carolina. “His circumstances are such that the emoluments of the office have no attraction for him," says the statement, “but at the sug gestion of the President, he has consented to accept the appoint ment, Lincoln. Neb..^ May 25.-Wil- liam J. Bryan, in today issue of his Commoner, editorially casti gate the Supreme Court decision in the Standard Oil case an^ the court itself. Bryan says; ' “The decision will prove dis appointing to the country. The real meat in the decision is to be found in the amendment of the anti- trust law to meet the de mands of. the trusts. “The decision explains why Justice White was made chief justice instead of Justice Harlan. Second, it explains why Govern or Hughes was made a justice. Third, it explains the discrimina ting care exercised by the Presi dent in selecting Democrats who would help the Republicans out of a hole by making the Demo cratic party bear some of the odium of a decision that builds a bulwark around the predatory ccrporations. Fourth, it explains why “Wall Street went over to Mr. Taft in March or Appril of 1908 and then coerced their em ployes and the business public into the support of the Republi can candidate in November.” MES THniNITi STATES T1 mOP TIE PyiUPPItlES STANDARD OIL DECISION CODim'DIED LAST WEEI FOUND BOOZE MILL UNDER THE HOUSE Of THEIR HOST Nashville, Tenn., May 26.— Judge John W. Judd, who was sent to Porto Rico to investigate the laws and conditions in the Is lands by the vs^ar department, made a sensational speech before the Tennessee Bar association to day, in which he urged that this nation drop the Philippine and beware of the Monroe doctrine as it is now understood. A prepared paper on “Porto Rico and the Porto Ricans” was to have been read to the conven tion by Judge Judd, but he stated that he could not read it, as the authorities at Washington had asked him not to give it to the public, asserting it would cause embarrassing diplomatic rela tions with other countries. Judge Judd expressed the opin ion that if the Monroe doctrine was adhered to -as construed by President Roosevelt, it would eventually briisg the United States into trouble not dreamed of taday. SECRET m'aRRIAG^ REFT FOR FOURTEEN IWNrUS Hickory, May 22.—Reveniie officers Kanipe and Sams return ed this afternoon from the South Mountain section of Burke coun ty, where they report having had a very unique experience. For two years reports have been com ing to the officers that a certain man in that section was making joy juice without the consent or permission of Uncle Sam, and yesterday they decided to make a thorough investigation. Arriv ing at South Mountain, they climbed one of its highest peaks in a vain hunt for the booze plant Returning to the foot of the mountain they proceeded to the home of LaFayette Chapman, where they hoped to get lodging for the night. On arriving there they found the home deserted save for some small children, who informed the officers that the father and mother had gone acr(^s the river for some tomato plants. The officers sent a small boy for his father and sat down in the yard to await his return. Soon they discovered a stream of wa ter flowing under the house and an investigation disclosed a com plete distillery jjn full blast not more than three feet from the chimney. Thus they turned what looked to be an unsuccessful raid into a successful one and a supposed host into a prisoner. It must be great to be skinny in this hot weather. Greensboro, May 28. — A secret marriage of 14 months’ standing has just been announced by the happy couple in the following note given out for publication yesterday: ‘ ‘Edv/ard E. Turner, formerly of Hillsboro, but now living in Burlin^on, and Miss Edith Belle Sneed, of South Bos ton, Va., were msrried at the res idence of Miss Patty Mangum, in Durham, April 3, 1910. Imme diately after their wedding Mrs. Turner left for the west without telling her friends of her mar riage. On account of fortunate conditions and the faithfulness of those who were present at the ceremony and acted a« witnesses, but few suspected until this an nouncement that the young couple were man and wife.” Mr. Turner met Mrs. Turner yesterday in Danville and arrived in this city on train No. 7. From here the young people left for Hillsboro to spend today with Mr. Turner’s parents. They ex pect to leave for Burlington Mon day, where they will make their home in the future. Their many friends will wish for them a long and happy married life. [Mr. Turner came here about a month ago, having purchased the Stephenson Grocery Company from Mr. E, L. Stephenson. He and Mrs. Turner are boarding with Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson at present.] ■—: m >9^' Mrs. Geo. Crutchfield of Wins ton-Salem and sister Miss Mattie Bradshaw of the southern part of the couaty spent part of the past week the guest of their broth er Gep. W. Bradshaw^and family. Washington, May 25. —Still as opposed to the majority opinion of the Supreme Court in the Standard Oil case, as he was oh the day that opinion was announ ced, Associate Justice Harlan to day filed in court his fo>rmal dis senting opinion in that suit. His oral attack on the court for holding that only unreasonable pr undue restraints on traide are m violation of the law furnishes the outline for today’s (broadside against the opinion. He went further, ho’v^'ever, a^d criticised the court for modifying the decree of the lower court so as to permit the subsidiary com panies to enter into agreenS^fets among themselves, and express ed a conviction that instead of the opinion giving quiet and rest to the business of the country, it would throw business into confu sion and invite widely-extended and harassing litigation, the in jurious effects of which will be felt for many years to come. Ever since the case was decid ed on May 15, Justice Harlan has been preparing his dissenting opinion and it was not complete until today. One of the last changes made, it is said, was to insert a quotation from the deci sion of Judge Taft, now Presi dent Taft, in the Addyston Pi]^ case, in which Judge Taft said that according to the decision of the Suyreme Court, all restrains, whether reasonable or unr^son- able under the common law, we^e forbidden by the statute. coLOHETimiii BURNS IN RA Raleigh, May 26.-^Du^n; very severe rain, ^ectii ^tid storm that swS§pif‘this dty and section this evening light ning struck the wires in a special shaft in St. Agnes hospital through vv^hich the wires passed to the different floors and set the shaft on fire, panic spread through the hospital in which were eigh teen negi’O patients. These were gotten out without any serious results that have yet developed. Damage by fire and water was probably .$500, Five years ago a frame hospit al was burned and the present structure is of stone, three sto ries. It is a part of the plant of St Augustine school ‘Episcopal. ’ The wind reached a velocity of 42 miles an hour. A rain stoi*m followed, the total fall being .59 inches. The weather bureau re ports this as the hottest day of the year here, the teraperature reaching 92.5 de^ees. Part of the city was left in darkness, the electric wires being pjit out of commission. Many trees were blown down. QH At his home in Chapel Hill Captain Thonjas F. Lloyd, known as the wealthiest, citizen of Or- ange county, died Wednesday af ternoon at 5 o’clock, after a lii?- gering illness of more than two months fronqi diopsy. Captain Lloyd was aged 70 years. Simple and plain, but honest, tells of a character that was lov ed by every man and wOman not only in Chapel Hill, but through out the county in which he resid ed. With but little schooling and less cash^ Captain Lloyd laid the foundation for his fortune years ago by square dealing and zeal ous labor. Loyalty was the key note of his success, and no man, potjr or rich, ever knew the captain to be unloyal in any busi ness or personal matter. ~^He is survived by his wife and five brothers—Henry of Chapel Hill; Albert, Morris, Jack and Pink, of Orange county. His on ly child, Green Lloyd, widely known and unusually 'popular with the students; at the univer sity, died in November, 1907, and^ the death of his son cast a gloom over tht captain which he was unable to withstand. The funeral services were held this afternoon at 3 o’clock at Bethel church, near Chapel Hill, and were largely attended, many citizens going from Durham. Captain Lloyd for years was a Mason, and was laid to rest with Masonic honors. The interment was made in the cemetery near the church.—Durham Sun, 25th.

He was heading for a swamp, about a mile from Duhhi ;whei| the re quest for the nlalitm came. Adjutant General Leinster di rected that the sheriff order out ^e Dunn company if he deemed^ it advisable, and the authorities were urged from the Governor's office to use every precaution to prevent a lynching in the event the fugitive was captured. Ad vices late tonight from Dunn are that Deputy Jefhigah is barely alive and,|,hat Aiken is still at large. TOBAIXQ TRUST UCt LISTEN TO ANY COMPROMISE TRAIN CREW POISONED FROM BUTTER MILK Spencer, May 25.—A wholesale poisoning took place near New Lphdon, Stanley, county, yester day afternoon, when a whole train 6rew partook of buttermilk causing ptomaine poison.

Sigman, Fireman Frank Conrad, Brake- man R. J. Williams, and Brake- man W. C. Melton. The only member of the p^y to escape was conductor C. A. Surratt, who did not partake of the milk.

They are unwilling to lis ten to anycompiomise, believing | their claini is a just ohip.^ ‘“The only point we made was that the boai€ should get down to work Quickly and submit its plan for a settlement vnthout de lay," said Mr. Teat tonight Mr. Finley agreed there should be no delay, so far as he was winpprnpd Continuing Mr. Teat said: “The Southern Railway is fully able to pay the increased amount we are asking. We nOw receive from 20 to 40 per cent less than the firemen bn the 'Frisco lines, Illi nois Cento^l, Baltimore & Ohio and the Pennsylvania. President Fin-ley compares bur wages to those paid by the Seabo^ Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line. That is not a fair comfN^son, and besides, the former road is just out of the hy»hds6f a receiv er, We believe oiir demand is a just one, and it is that or strike. ” JUDGE BOYD CONFIHMS SALE OF NAOMI FAILS COMPANY Greensboro, May 26.—In the matter of the Naomi Falls Manu facturing Company of Randle- man, Judge Boyd, in the United States district court si^ed a[n order confirming the sale of the property and plaiit to J.

He also takes about $15, - 000 worth of cotton bought by the mill, so that the total price to be paid by Mr. Gilmer is not far from $90,000.
