Fayetteville, Special. At Hope Mills In Cumberland county, a heavy pack age of machinery fell on Barney Autry, a wagon driver, crushing in his skull, killing him almost instantly. A good (leal has been said recently about the attitude cf the Internal Rev enue Department with reference to the operation of the Watts law, and the Impression has obtained in some in stances that conflict might result be tween the State and Federal authori ties a3 a result of the operation of the new law. The Federal government has no desire or disposition to interefere witb the operation of the Watts hm. The man who violates its provisions will receive no comfort from that source. It was explained today thai the Federal government does not license saloons and distilleries. The State exercises that function and au thorizes them to do business. The Federal government goes no further than to levy a tax on such institutions. The State does the licensing In the lit eral sense of the word The commissioners of Columbia county have nsked Governor Aycock to call a special term of court to be held at Whiteville July 27th for the trial of the Registers, charged with murder, and the several other prison ers held on grave charges.

It was shown that there are 6,000 indus trial plants in North Carolina, the an nur.l output being worth $90,000,000. The only question in the minds of the F.fntlemen who attended this confer ence with the Governor is whether 250 manufacturers shall be asked to give $1.00 each and also make exhibits or whether 100 shall be asked to give $200 each and also make exhibits or whether 100 shall be asked to give $500 each and Liake exhibits. It was decided to put an agent in the field to canvass the FUatc and raise the $50,000 needed.

Mauney, of Gold Hill, a mining man of many years' experience and one of the leading citizen of the community In which he lives, said regarding the rich strike recently made by the Whitney Reduction Company at the Barringer mine, that he believed it to be by far the greatest ever made in a Southern State. He was convinced that large bodies of the ore are worth as high aa $50,000 a ton and that half a million dollars Is now immediately in sight. Mr. Mauney would not hazard an opin ion as to the continued yield of the vein beyond this point, but said that it might be Immense. He was greatly impressed by the presence in the ore of masses of nearly pure gold larger than a man's fist. Especially because the Whitney people do not court pub licity or care about issuing statements. Wednesday afternoon the two-foot vein which yields this extremly rich ore was struck by a second level from the paralel shaft at a depth of slightly more than 100 feet, all the Indications for a much greater depth continuing good. The vein was first struck at a depth of 35 feet. A Destructive Fire. Raleigh, Special. Greenville. N. C. s on fire.

POPE LEO IS DYING Bead of Catholic Cbcrch Neariajj Bis Final Reward LAST SACRAMENT ADMINISTERED His Holiness Rallies Slightly at Times and His Physicians Say He May Live For Some Time. Rome, By Cable. "God's will be done. Would you have believed it. when only ten days ago I was presiding over a public consistory?" murmered feebly Pope Leo, as he felt himself late Sun day evening sinking into a sleep which lasted about three hours, until excruci ating pain brought the dying Pontiff back to consciousness. He groaned and complained of pains on both sides of the throax. Tenderly Dr. Lapponi, as sisted by Pope Leo'a valet, Pio Ceutra. and the physician's second, Dc Castro, lifted the frail form and, changing the position, succeeded in giving the pa tient some relief. Though hovering on the brink of death, the life of the Pon tiff la still prolonged by means of strong stimulants and concentrated nourishment, and while he is still alive, his wonderful vitality many again re sist and conquer the attack of this ill ness. Later in the evening, after the ex citement of the ceremony of the last Sacrament was over, the Pope seemed less restless, partly soother by the re ligous service and partly by a dose of chloral which was given to him in con siderable quantity. The Pontiff is lying on a small bed drawn up to a window overlooking the piazza of St. Peter's. The only picture in the room is an an tique Madonna, and the sole ornament a great ivory crucifix. The inferior of the Vatican during the early hours of the morning testifies to the convocation that the passing of Pope Leo is very near. The court yard of St. Damaso is filled with the carriages of the car dinals. Cardinal Satolli drove to Rome from Frascati, the beautiful carriage breeS covered With dust and perspira tion. In the cortile are drawn up the carriages of the cardinals and of many notables. Servants and messengers hur ry across the court with bundles jof huge wax tapers and with the robes fof the ecclesiastical dignitaries who are waiting within the palace. The ante chambeds of the palace were all through the night thronged with the princes of the Church, high noblemen and members of the diplomatic corps. Telegrams of inquiry have been re ceived from several of the monarchs of Europe. All kinds of speculation are already In circulation a3 to the probable suc cessor to the throne of St. Peter. Opin ions are much divided owing to the many interests which vrill be affected according to the choice made by the bacred college. The first questions the cardinals will have to solve will be whether the conclave shall be held in Rome or outside of Italy. It Is believed that the supporters of the idea of aban doning Rome will be even fewer than in the conclave held after the death of Pius IX, when 32 out of 37 cardinals voted in favor of Rome. The second question will be whether the next Pope must be an Italian or a foreigner. It is generally believed that he will be an Italian, because in view of the struggle between the Church and the State since the fall of the temporal power and the constitution of united. Italy, all the clergy, as well as the clerical party and even foreigners thlnk that an Italian Pope can protect better than a stranger the advance of the religious and political Interests of the Church. The candidates chiefly spoken of are Cardinal Rampolla and Cardinal Seraflno Vannutelli. They are both representatives of the conserva tive policy, but are bitter antagonists of each- other. Cardinal Rampolla is a very warm Francophile, while Cardinal Vannutelli is averse to the policy in augurated by the present pontifical Secretary of State of assuming the power to which he has adhered for fif teen years. The most probable liberal candidates are Cardinal Bichop Agll ardi and Cardinal Priest Satolli, whise breadth of views and love of modern laeas have been strengthened durine nis stay in America. The most prob able religious candidates are Cardinal Prest Cotti, who would carefully avoid mixing up in politics and Cardinal Priest Angelo Di Pietro, who also has the very desirable requisite old age, be- n rr -i j ma io jcaib ui.u. Will Be Sentenced. Key West, Fla., Special. Fred Ewart was convicted of murder in the first degree and will be sentenced to hang. Ewart was tried for the murder of Frank Whitaker. He made a full confession of the crime, claiming that he had invited WThitaker to go on board the New Venice to get some clams; that while there Whitaker curs ed nim, and that while enraged he (Ewart) "picked up an axe and struck Whitaker with it. He did not remem ber striking him more than cnoe, but admitted that he might have done so Stabbed His Wife. Atlantic City, Special. Thomas De Paul, of Nw York, came here and. finding his wife registered a lodg ing house with another man, drew large pen inife and stabbed her in the neck. She is in the hospital in a dying condition. DePaul was arrested and held pending the result of her injuries. The wife alleges that she had to leave him because of abuse. He came here and Insisted on her returning to New i oris, wun mm- LYNCHING IN UNION Orderly Body of Citizens Hasted Seif-CoBfeed Brute John Osborne, tho nro who as- taultcd Mrs. Lizzie Wentz. of Union county. Sunday night, waa taken rrum two constables Thursday night and hanged to a tree. Jut before his death ho confessed his guilt. The evidence against Osborne ti entirely circumstantial, bot it was o comphte in its entirety as to leave no room for doubt as to his guilt. Though Osborne worked for Mr. Joe Riggers, who lived ten miles away from where Mra. Went lived, near In dian Trail, he was the first man and the only man upon whim suspicion fell; and within 48 hours after the crime was committed this suspicion came to be a belief in the minds of all people white and colored who lived in the neighborhood of where the crime was committed. He had a bad character generally speaking and a few years ago had been charged with attempting to assault another white woman, a Mrs. Hargett. but. apart from his previous bad record, the evi dence connecting him with the assault on Mr.-. Wentz became insistently cumulative and vividly strong. STRONG CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVI DENCE. It was proven that on the nigat the crime was committed Osborne had ridden a mule within a quarter of a ndle of Mrs. Wentz's home, and he was tracked from whero he had hitched the mule to the home of his victim. In his Sunday vest pocket was fcund a small piece of string that Mrs Wentz recognized as the same bit of twine that she had kept in a match box in her house. She remembered that in looking for money the negro had struck a number of matches. Arid n the pockets of Osborne was foi'rtd too, money that it was alleged he Eiust have taken from Mrs. Wentz In the preliminary trial that was liven Cijborne at the home of Mrs entz Thursday evening more thaa 20 witnesses testified, and the testi mony, linked together, left the colored -'tnesses standing up in the sha 'v grove and de'.iarinv that the prisoner was puiltv. THE OPINION OF A MOTHER. Even Osborne's own mother, wtio came to the scene, yelled aloud: 'John, you know you are guilty. Good-bye. There ain't nothin' for you to do but pray." When the prosecution, which was lepresented by Mr. Plummer Stewart, of this city, a nephew of Mrs. Wentz, had finished, there was a muttered sentiment in the outskirts of the crowd that boded ill for the prisoner. The manner of the deed had been such as to arouse to anger the most ctnservative people In the audience. Mrs. Wentz is 64 years old; a feeble, timid woman, who Uvea alone sav ing the presence or an aged negro wo man, who lives in a hut in the yard. It was the voice of this negresg that Osborne had Imitated, crying that he wa3 ill to let him in the house. When the door had been opened he had clutched Mrs. Wentz by the throat, and had become a fiend In violence and horrid language. Such l!ttle money as he could find less tnan a dollar in all he had taken with him. A NERVOUS COLLAPSE. Before his accusers the criminal al most collapsed In his excessive fright. He was young only 24 years old and black as the pure Ethiopian type, but his politeness, his eager desire to propitiate everyone who came near him would have been pitiable If it had not been ghastly. Just before he was arrested he had come trembling like a reed in the wind to Mr. Plummer Stewart and had begged to be allowed to shake hands. Fawning like a whip ped cur he maintained until death this attitude of extreme humility and courtesy. THE LYNCHING. After the conclusion of the evidence, 'Souire Broom, the magistrate who conducted the investigation, ordered that Osborne be committed to jail In Union countv to await trial at the next term of the Superior Court. Constables Frank Kesiah and Luke Horton put Osborne in a Duggy De- tween. them, intending to go to In dian Trail and take the train from there to Monroe. Before the officers had proceeded two miles they were surrounded by a party of several hun dred men. including a number of ne groes. The constables resisted when ordered to surrender their prisoner, but were overpowered, Kesiah being pinned to the earth in the clutches of two members of the mob. At this time several pistol shots were fired by men in the mob. Terrorized, pleading, weeping, penl tent, Osborne was dragged from the buggy to an oak tree that stands by the side of the thoroughfare. .One end of the rope was tied around his neck. The other end was taken by s man who climbed the tree and lowered the rope over a limb. In a moment the hands of the mob had caught the loose end of the rope and Osborne was swinging in the air. So far there is no indication that an effort will be made to prosecute the lynchers. Four Killed By Electricity. Pittsburg, Special. During the pro gress of a terrible rain-storm Sunday four persons were killed at the eornc. of Forbes street and Oakland avenue in an accident of most unusual cbaxac ter. The dead are: Joseph Wis?, aged 40, residence unknown; Guisseppi Renda, aged 21 years; Mrs. A. W. Stratti, aged 54; Guisseppi Stattl, her f on, aged 22. MADE A GOOD TALK Bcoker Washington Sau Ljocbia; is iot Sectional SPtECH BEFORE MGIO IDITORS Noted Negro liducator Addresses An Immense Audience and Counsels His People to Patience. Louisville, Spec ial. H-fvre an im mense audience Hooker 7. Washing ton, head of tho Tuskevge- Institute. Thursday night delivered an address. He said that recent regrettable events In connection with the race question went to show that lynch law is not confined to any one section of the country. Those events, he said, lead to sympathy with the race problem by making it national. He appealed to the negro to be calm and exercise self-control. Among tho other speakers was W, H. Ixiwis, assistant district attorney of Massachusetts, who was appointed several mor.'hs agrj by President Roosevelt. Principal Washington paid in part: "In lh present Reason of anxiety and almost of despair which possesses an clement of the race there are two things I wish to say as strongly as I may: "First, let no man of tho race be come discouraged or hopeless. There are in this country. North and South, men who m'an to see that justice is meted cut to the race. Such a man is Judge Jones, of Alabama, to whom more credit should be given for blot ting out the infamous system of peon age than to any other man. "Second, let us keep before ns the fact that, almost without exception every raco or nation that has ever got upon its feet has done so through struggle and trial and persecution. "No one should seek to close his eyes to the fact that the race is pass ing through a very serious and trying period of its development, a period that calls for the use of our ripest thought and sober judgment. 'Let nothing lead U3 into extremes of utterance or action. It is in the long run the race or the individual that exercises the most patience, for bearance and self-control in tho midst of trying conditions that wins its cause. Let nothing induce us to de scend to the level cf the mob. In ad vocating this policy I am net asking that the negro act the coward: we are not cowards. The part we have played in defending the flag of our country i3 sufficient evidence of our courage. 'The outbreak of the mob em phasizes two lessons, one for our race and one for the other citizens of our country. South and Korth; for it is to be noted that the work of the lyncher Is not confined to one section of the country. Tho lesaon for U3 is that we should see to It that so far as the Influence of parent, school or pul pit is concerned, no effort be spared to Impress on our own people that Idleness and crime should cease. We should let the world know on all proper occasions that we consider no legal punishment too severe for the wretch of any raco who attempts to outrage a woman. "The lesson for the other portion of tho nation to learn ia that both in the making and in the execution tho same laws should be made to apply to tne negro as the white man. "There should be meted out equal justice to tho black man and the white man. Whenever the nation for gets, or Is tempted to forget. Ra basic principle, the whole fabric of govern ment for both the white man and the blaek man Is threatened with destruc tion. This is truo whether It relates to conditions in Texas, Indiana or Delaware. It is with a nation as with an individual; whatever we sow, that Bhall we also reap. If we sow crime we shall reap lawlessness." Arreigned For Trial. Washington. Special. August W. Machen, against whom three indict ments have been found for accepting a srlbe In connection with government contracts for letter box fasteners, wa uraigned before Justice Prltchard in Criminal Court No. 1. He waived the formal reading of the indictment, pleaded not guilty and was glvwn until July 20 to file a demurrer, should Le wish to do so. The Groff Brothers. wno were indicted with Machen. ap peared in court and pleaded guilty.
