Hls Skull Crushed.
' A Shelby special of the 19th to the
Observer, says: A terrible tragedy
was enacted eight miles north of Shel
by early this morning. U. 1). Jones,
a prominent young farmer and magis
trate, was foully murdered by Law-
son Howell, a negro. Particulars are
meagre, but it seems that Mr. Jones
had gone to the house of Mr. Jerome
Cline fpr the purpose of identifying a
ealf that had been impounded by Air
Cline. He met Mr. Cline on the road
who told him to go and get the ealf
that his driver, Howell, would deliver
it.
The particulars of the killing came
from the hps of the slayer, Howell,
who, after he bad crushed the skull of
the deceased with a large club, left,
but met Dr. Gold about one hundred
yards from the scene of the tragedy.
He told the doctor that "he and
Jones had had a terrible fight,'' and
he was afraid he had killed him.
When the physician reached the
side of the stricken man, he was dieing
and in a few minutes was dead.
A large party of enraged citiiena
are scouring the woods in search of
Howell, and if captured summary pun
ishment will be inflicted. Mr. Jones
was an exceedingly popular man and
of a quiet and peaceful disposition.

It Breaks oat in Charity Hospital Where
There are Afcout SOO Patient. Twelve
Cases Reported.
A New Toak dispatch of the 1 8th
says: Smallpox has broken out in
the Charity Hospital, and the big in
stitution with iu 800 and odd patients
has been quarantined shut off from
the outer world. No person will be
allowed to leave it without the con
sent of the health department, and no
visitor must enter it. All the mis
chief was caused by the admission of
a patient named Smith, who died in
the hospital last week, and whose ill
ness was not recognised by the doc
tors until the post mortem revealed it
was smallpox. Then every precau
tion was taken, but too late.
Among the victims is the warden,
Robert Roberts, who was to day taken
to the smallpox hospital at North
Brother Island, and his apartments
at the Charity Hospital were fumiga
ted. Mr. Roberts is -58 )cars aid and
has been the warden of Charity Hos
pital for several years. This is the
twelfth case of smallpox which has
been reported from that institution
within the last few days.
Small Pox in Wadesbore.
Dr'. J. C. Montgomery Monday
received a telegram from Dr. Bennett
of Wadesboro, saying: "Send me
some vaccine virus. I Smallpox." It
has since been learned through par
ties from Wadesboro that there is a
genuine case of small p x there, and
while the people are much excited, it
is hoped the spread of the disease will
be prevented.
An Attempted Lynching.
A Charleston, S. C, dispatch of
the 24th says: The first riot caused
by the attempt to enforce the new dis
pensary law occurred to night. A
body of 500 angry citixens proceeded
to the lodging house where the spies
boarded, with intention to lynoh
them. The police, however, got wind
of the affair and the spies got out of
the way. There was a fusilade of
pistol shots and much excitement.
A citizen named Wallie Bellaneeau
was wi aided in the neck but not fa
tally, and the crowd then slowly dis
persed after finding that the spies
were not at home. The feeling here
is very intense.

The Wilson Bill Under Consideration.
Some Amendments to it. Senator Mor
gan Scores Ex -Minister Stevens. That
Bond Issne is not Popular.
Washington, Jan. 22. Chairman
Wilson has surprised some people by
the adroitness he has displayed in
piloting his tariff bill through the
amendment rocks He has run aground
but once when the House voted down
an amendment endorsed by the Ways
and Means, proposing to postpone
until next fall the time for tha free
wool clause of the bill to take tffect,
and adopted one making that clause
go into effect upon the passage of the
bill. This week-the hardest fighting
will be done. An attempt will be
made to drop the sugar boanty, sub
stituting a tax on sugar; also to drop
the bounty, leaving Bugur free. At
tempts will also be made to put iron
and coal on the dutiable l:st, and to
make the income tax an amendment
to the tariff bill. All of these chan
ges are opposed by the Ways and
Means committee, and chairman Wil
son is confident that none of them will
be made, although several of his col
leagues on the committee are in doubt
as to toe sugar elause and tbo income
tax amendment. It is understood
that the republican vote will be
oast solidly for the income tax amend
ment, not because they favor it, but
because they believe its adoption will
Weaken the entire bill in the Senate.
The republicans in the House are not
voting on their convictions just now,
but to develop democratic dissection.
Senator Morgan gave ex-Minister
Stevens, who aiNast found time be
tween bis alleged bad health and his
lecture engagements to appear before
the Senate committee on Foreign Re
lation and give his testimony, a most
rigid cross-examination concerning
his conduct while U. S. Minister to
Hawaii, and brought out the-acknowledgment
that Mr. Stevens was from
the first a rabid annextionist, and tkat
he wrote those much talked about let
ters to Mr. Blaine, asking instruc
tions in case of the overthrow of tbe
queen, with the full expectaion that
an event would take place during his
term of office, just as Mr. Blount's
report changed him with having done.
Under ordinary circumstances the im
pudent and insulting letters written
by President Dole of the provisional
government to Minister Willis would
arouse great public indignation, but
what could be expected when publica
tions in prominent United States pa
pers are "considered.
Any sort of misrepresentation seems
to go down with the anti-administra
tion papers. For instance, Mr. Halt
ing, who was in charge of the Hawa
iian legation here during Minister
Thurston's absence, was not invited
to the State dinner given by Presi
dent and Mrs. Cleveland to the diplo- 1
matic corps, and straightway the anti
administration papers made it the
basis for a lot of silly stories alleging
chat the invitation was withheld be
cause the administration was unfriend
ly to the present Hawaiian govern
ment. An inquiry at the State De
partment, through which these invi
tations are always sent, woald have
shown the concoctors of these stories
that Hastings did not fill an official
position which entitled him to an in
vitation, but sensations, not facts, are
what these papers want.
That Mrs. Cleveland has not lost
any of her immense popularity with
the people was shown by the large
attendance at her first public recep
tion, held at the White House Satur
day afternoon. There were more peo
ple who desired to ptj their respects
to her than attended the crushes at
the publio reoeptions held by her
when she was a bride, and she receiv
ed them just as graciously as 6he did
when- the whole tiresome business was
an enjoyable n ivelty to her.
A member of the cabinet "who was
asked what he thought of the adverse
criticism publioly made by democrats
in Congress of the proposed, bond
issue, said: I grant the right of free
speec which I drm-nd fjr'myself, to
every man, but I must Bay that these
criticisms would have come with bet
ter grace bad the men who indulge in
them shown any real disposition to
prevent the issue of bonds in i-'thn only
practical manner by ,; providing the.
money that they knew as well as Sec
retary Carlisle did the Treasury must
have if it would escape defaulting in
the payment of its obligations in some
other way. The administration did
not wish to issue bonds, and only
decided to do so when it became ap
parent that Congrtss would not afford
immediate relief, and after becoming
fully satisfied of its legal right to do
so under the law of 1875. It is not
believed here that either of the sever
al resolutions that have been intro
duced in the Senate concerning this
issue of bonds will be passed, or that
the passage of either ot them or Rep
resentative Bailey's resolution by the
House would affect the matter - in
either way The offers for the 050,
000,000 bonis to be issued have gone
away up in the hundreds of millions
and the premiums offered will make
the interest equivalent to 2 1-2 per
eent or lower.
Much regret is felt in the Senate
at Senator Walthclls resignation, and
the hope is expressed on all sides that
his health will improve sufficiently
for him to resume his seat &t the be.
ginning of the next term, to which he
has already been elected.
The Piendent sent another poser to
the senators from New York Monday,

of Wheeler H. Feckbam, of .New

Two Prisoners at Koibaro Commit the
Crime and Make their Escape.
A Special of the 22od from Rox
boro to the Raleigh Chronicle says:
The peaceful little town of Rox
boro was wild with excitement Sun
day morning. The jailor, Mr. Willis
Royster, accompinied by Pete a little
negro boy about eight years old,
went into the jail to feed the .prison
ers. Mr. Royster opened the cell
door to hand in a broom for the pris
oners to sweep out the oell with and
when he unlocked the door the two
prisoners, Logan Meadows and Jas
per Robertson rushed out an jumped
on him, and after shoving or knock
ing him down, choked him to death.
Then they told Pete if he made any
fuss they would kill him, after which
they locked him up with the body of
the jailer and made their escape.
About 9 o'clook some three quarters
of an hour afterwards Peter succeed
ed in mading himself heard, and the
news spread like wild-firo all over the
town, and in a very few minutes more
than 100 men, armed wicli shotguns,
rifles and pistols, some on horseback,
some in buggies, and a large number
on foot, started in pursuit of the fug
itives, and succeeded in capturing
both by 1 o'olock. They bad only
gone about two and a half, bat were
completely broken down. They were
lodged in jail, and for several hours
loud threats of lynching were heard
on all sides, a large crowd from the
country having gathered in who seem
in the mood for such a frolic. At 1
o'clock at night the court house bell
was rung violently, but contrary to
all expectations the prisoners were not
disturbed and it is hoped now that
that feeling has subsided. The coro
ner's jury rendered a verdict otVwill
ful murder against them both. Mr.
Royster, the jailer, was a quiet peace
able old gentleman. His indulgence
to the prisoners eost him bis life, as
it was negligence on his part in open
ing the outer cell before seeing that
the prisoners had gone into their cage
and the door locked, as there is pro
vision made for doing all this from
the outside before opening any of the
door?.

BUT FATAL
SHOT.
Some folks advertise one kind of a sale
and another some call it "cost" for a
day only, and repeat the mammoth sham
every.few days; otherscall theirs a "spec
ial sale," but how many and who of them
advertise prices that convince you or any
body of the truth of their ad. Aul friends
they leave off the crucial test 'twould
spoil the sham, you see. We ge at it
thus, and we defy the whole family of de
ceptive advertisers to join battle in the
open field or away from cover. How do
these prices strike you?
