A Fiend Attempts ltape t'ion niaNUcC and Then Tries to Murder llpi His tiullt Evident Hor Life Despaired of. George Mills, a white man of not vety savory reputation is accused of crirninally assaulting and attempting ta murder his niece, Miss Iana VVim berly near Apex, last week. Mills is about 45 years of age, and is of a low order of intelligence. His character is not good. Some years ago he was charged with an outrageous assault upou a white woman, bi cousin, then married, and the proof of her bad character alone saved him. It is al leged that he has made several at tempts of the kind at various times. Hills stayed a good deal at the home of his niece. Miss Iana Wimberly. who was a stoutly built and attractive young woman, 17 years old. They left the plaje, which is a little over four miles from Apex, about sunset Wednesday afternoon to go to the house of Mr. John Jenks, a mile or so distant, after some flowers. Mills was next heard of about 2 o'clock that night when he appeared at Mr. Wim berly's house He aroused the fami ly and jhis is in substance the tale he told: He said that as he anl Miss Wim berly went along they came near the old Vuaghan house, now vaca"t, and she proposed to go to the door and look in: that as thev stood at the door, he on one side, she on the other, she was struck on the head by some person in the bouse and knocked into the house; both of thein at the time standing outside the door; that he sprang back and some person said, "Leave or I'll kill you." Another voice was then heard repeating the threat. He then ran and became lost in the woods; so it was late before he reached the girl's home. He said fuither that as he left the deserted house he heard Iana cry out "O, Lord, have mercy! Don't kill me!' He says it was then dusk and that he wandered about for hours. He told the Wimberlys he reckoned Iana was at the Vaughan house, dead; that somebody had certainly knocked her in the head. . The Wimberlys armed their neigh bors and a party of eight went to the old Vaughan house. They found it in a freshly ploughed fivld, and there were plainly visible the footprints of a man and a woman leading to the door, where only the tracks of a man were found leading away from the hoase. About two feet inside the door lay Miss Wimberly. To all ap pearances she was dead. Her bead was literally beaten to pieces. Her temples were cru-hed in and there was a ghastly hole in the side of her head. The entire rear of thetkullwas crush ed, and the brain was? vbible. There were evidences of a struggle. On the floor were found the prints of five nails made by a footstep. It was found that Mills' shoe made just such an iuiprcssion, having the five nails. Just inside the door was found the instrument with which the poor youDg woman had been struck. It was a dogwood stick, forked, and on it was fresh blood. Drs. Moore, of Apex, ai d A. T. Cotten, of Morrisville, were at once summoned. They removed fome bone from the side of the skull She ncv- er spoke, but occasionally moaned. It was also clear that an attempt had been made to outrage her, but the physicians are of the opinion that it did not succeed. Mills was taken before Justices L D. Ballcom and John Burns and given a full hearing. He went on the stand and his evidence was about what he told the girl's family, as above narrat ed. His altogether improbable story gained no belief The belief in his ,guilt was deeply fixed. The excite ment against him was deep from the beginning of the hearing and the offi cers saw the only way to preveDt a lynching was to carry hhn to Raleigh quietly. Blood was found on his clothing, particularly at the pocket where were his hand prints. The bloody clothing will be used as evi dence against him. All tht evidence 1 is terrible in its directness. ! Mr. Tillett Not Wanting Offli . ; There has been quite a good deal of talk of C. W. Tillett being the next Senator from this county. He was seen Tuesday and in reply to the question if he was a candidate, said: I hope my name will not be men tioned in that connection, as I ceuld not and would not accept tha place, even if there were a chance of my being nominated. Statesville l'.oad Transferred. The directors of the Atlantic, Ten-ne.-see Sl Ohio Railroad met here Tuesday morning, the object being to make a formal transfer of the s'ojk to the Southern ltailway Company. A resolution was passed conveying the stock. It was necessary that this be -I gone through with in order to perfect the reorganization agreed on. - A Kunairij Match. 1 A rather suspicions marriage took placo in this city this week. The couple arrived hereon the north train. The groom gave two different names and said he was from Virginia, and afterwards gave Wisconsin as his home. The bride was presumably a Jfiss Whitescarver of Virginia. Squire D. G. Jixwell tied the knot aad they went on their way rejoicing. Charlotte Defeated Greenville: Three games of base ball were played by the Charlotte and Greeu ville teams in this city last week. Charlotte won the first week and third ly scores of 5 to 4, and 7 to 4, and lost the second bv 4 to 8. In Ashe - rf ville this week the Charlotte team was overwhelmingly defeated. H. B.

Hill's Bitter Fight Agralnot the Inretne Tax The Tariff Fight About Kndet! ThellAlch AuU-Optlon Bill rsp the Uouse Other Washington New. W AsiiiNorojc, Jane 25. Senator Hill's fight against the income tax was a futile one, aad he did not get even the support of all those he bad counted upon. Whether it was that fact or something else he conducted the fight with such bitterness that he has made enemies among the Demo cratic Senators who will never forgive him for the language he used and fot the manner in which he used it. The end of the fight against the income tax is the end of the legitimate fight against the tariff bill, and un less there is some Republican trickery the bill will pass the Senate and be in the hands of the conference com mittee before the close of this week. Such Republican Senators as Aldrich. Sherman and Teller, will do nothing to prevent a vote being reachud, the legitimate debate being over, but there is a gang of guerillas on the Republican side of the Senate (men like ''little Biiiy" Chandler, of N. II.) which may attempt to filibus ter against a vote, not with any ex pectation of defeating the bill but just because of their "pure cussed ness." Public interest, recognizing the early passage of the bill, is now centered upon the changes that will be made in it by the conference com mittee. That there will be a number of changes is regarded as certain, and it is fair to presume that they will all lean towards the original Wilson bill as ie was passed by the House, al though probably in few, if any, in stances going all the way. The sugar schedule is regarded as one of the certain changes to be made, bat it will hardly go as fat as free sugar, bfciuse of the opinion that some reve nue must be raised from ugar. The Hatch anti-option bill, which, passed the House by a vot5 of 150 to 87, has been before Congress in one or another shape for the last five years. ' It was shown by the manner in which party lines were disregarded when the vote was taken for the bill, Democrats 03, Republicans 47, and Populists 10; against, Democrats 61, Republicans 2G that politics did not influence the members to any marked extent. The anti-option bill was originally iutrodoeed in the Fifty first Congress by Representative Funston, of Kans., who was chairman of the House committee on Agriculture at that time, and it was introduced in the present aud in the Fifty-second Congresses by Representative Hatch, of Mo., dos at the bead of the com mittee on Agriculture. Speaker Crisp, who was confined to his room nearly all of last week by a troublesome attack of indigestion, is again presidiag over the House, which is once more pegging away at tha : egular appropriation bills and will probably continue at it until tbey are all disposed of, with the exception of the tinie that it may bo necessary to give to reports from the Represen tatives of the House on the Tar.ff Conference committee. Vice-President Stevenson certified the cases of Messrs. Havemeyer and. Seade, of the surrar trust, to the U. S. District Attorney for presentment to the Grand Jury, on Saturday, in accordance with the majority report of the investigatigg committee. The general opinion is that Senator Gray and Lindsay, the Democratic mem bers of the committee, took the cor rect view when they stated in a mi nority report that the committee hid no authority to compel Havemeyer and Searle to tell how much money they had cooLributed to state organ izations, they having stated that they had made no contributions to tbe National organizations. It was mere ly to gain a little partisan capital that the two Republican members of the committee joined Senator Allen in ordering that Havemeyer and Searle be eertifiedto the District At torney as recalitrant witnesses. The committee is now working upon "its report of the entire investigation, but it cannot be positively stated when it will be ready. The socalled industrial armies three of which re now in the vicinity of Washington, are rapidly going to pieces, the men finding that the peo ple of .this country are not quite si'lj enough to work for monsy and then contribute it to keep several hundred men lying around in idle ness. Senator Jarvis has been several times called upon by the Vice-President to preside over the deliberations ot the Senate, and the ease and grace with which he wields the gavel have attracted much attention. Senator Jarvis understands the art, and is per fectly at home in the chair. Mr. Hill's amendment was agreed to, without opposition, and so the sal ary of the President is exempted from tho iucome tax. Flrtt Kale or Cotton A Houston, Texas, dispatch of the 27th says: The first bale of cotton of this season's crop was the earliest bale ever raised in the United States.

Seaator Jarvis made the following remarks on the income tal iu the Senate last Friday. They show that his Democracy is pare, and that he hus the interests of the people at heart. Mr. Jarvis said: Mr. President, I dislike at this late hour of tho evening to partic pate in this discussion, yet I shall ask tbe in dulgence of the Senate for a few mo ments while I express some thoughts in favor of tbiit system of tsxition. I believe, sir, since the days of Horace to the present, iu poetry and prose, by male and female, it has been sung that "It is sweet to die for one's country." Panegyrics have been proaounced upon those who have died for their country; monuments have been erected to them, and their memory held sacred; but I hive never yet heard it Baid by anybody that it is sweet to be taxed for one's country. That seems to be a duty that men and sections feel at liberty to evada if possible. Men will go to war at their country's call, and risk and sacrifice their lives; but when it comes to meeting this duty and obligation of national taxation they and their prop erty are ready to hide away. The question that we are now dis cussing is simply and purely a ques tion of taxation. There is, as every Senator knows, a certain amount of money to be raised fur the support of the National Government, and I be lieve each year, as time rolls on, the amount to be raised increases rather than diminishes. Where and how shall that money be raised is the question. The Senator from Ohio says put the burden on sugar. The Senator from New England say put it cn manufac tured good. The Senator frein New York, I believe, would say put at least a reasonable portion of it upon the cuffs and collars that the poor people wear. Mr. President, my idea is that, in imposing these burdens of taxation, the heaviest burdens should be put upon those best able to bear them, and the least burdens upon those least able to bear them. If you arc going to make any distinction in imposing these burdens upon any class of our people, those who strive and toil in the shop and in the field, the 80 per cent of paople who, the Senator from New York says, own neither real nor personal property I say if any class of our people are to be favored in our system of taxation, it does seem to me that they ought to be the favored elas, beoauee of their inability to bear the burdens. Then they ought to be the favored class, because I believe it is this 80 cent of people in this country, who have been delving in the mine and working in the shop and in the field, on tbe farm and in the factory, who are creating the wealth of the coun try. I know when the honor of our country is threatened it is from this 80 par cent of people without property that the soldiery will come which is to defend the honor and glory of the country. So, I say, if any class of our fellow citiz.-ns are to be favored, it does seem to me that they ought to be the favored class. But we arc told that this proposi tion to tax incomes is a sectional prop osition. I will admit that it has been made sectional, and it has been made sectional by one little section of oar common country. It is from one sec tion of our country from which we see this opposition come, and I can properly describe that section by say ing that it lie? east of the Alleghany Mountains and north of the Potomac River. I do not mean to say that ev ery man in that territory is opposed to this proposition to tax incomes, nor do I mean to say that everybody outside of that territory is favoring this proposition; but I say that the advocates of that proposition living within that territory are few, and the opposition, so far ai 1 know, of peo ple living uutslde of that territory is feeble. All the great newspapers in that territory are thundering against it. The Senator from Now York, as the mouthpiece of that acntimen',, oc cupied hours of the time of this Sen ate thundering against it. That section of the country. President, occupies a unique and culiar position. It embraces, I lieve. only about tj per oent of Mr pe be our entire territory, and yet it contains 35 per cent of all the wealth of this entire oountry. It embraces 47 per cent of all the banking capital of this country; and I heard the Senator from Massachusetts tell U3 that in hn own State even the laborers, the common laboring people, had in tho savings banks hundreds of millions of dollars How comes it that this little section of our country, embraciog only about 6 per cent of the area of our country, has within it so much of the wealth and so much of the capital of this country. I waut to give the people living in that territory credit for being intelli gent, economical, industrious, full of energy, full of perseverance, and set ting up a helpful and proper exampli to the balance of the country in these respects. Yet they are no more in dustrious and hard-working than the people of other sections. But it comes about, in my opinion, because they have enjoyed in a peculiar degree the advantages of class legislation. With a great tariff wall behind them, they have sent their manufactured products out over all this great country of ours, all the merchants of tho coun try have been instrumental in gather ing np here and there, little by littl it may be, but for thirty years unde this legislation they have been gather ine and bringing this wealth home into their territory. Mr. President, iu the section of country from which I come not only the laborers have no bank account, but if the farmers at the end of the year can possibly get both ends to gether they are peculiarly fortunate; yet on every proposition whieh has been made h-. re during the progress of this bill to take some of the bur dens from those people of North Caro lina and the other agricultural States who have no bank account, and to leave in their pockets a little of the money which has been gathered up year by year, aud month by month, and day by day, and which has been carried into the banks of New En gland, tho Senator has stood here with all his might and energy and fought. Mr. President, it has been my fort une to stand upon the deok of a great ship as it ascended the great Amazon River. When we entered that river, looking far to the south, no land cou'd be seen, looking far to tbe north no land could be seen; yet if you pursued it 3,000 miles up you came to the source of that great river. AH along for 3,000 miles on the eastern slope of the Andes, in Peru and Bra zii and Bolivir, little streams were coming up from the mountain sides and from the earth, that flowed on and on, each converging xnd direct ing its course to the other, until by and by they united in the waters ot that great river and formed a great sea upon which the navies of the civ ilized world might meet, maneuver, and fight out their battles and have room to spare. So, for twenty-five years, North Carolina and South Carolina and all the Southern States and all the Wes tern States have been flowing their money steadily for the purchase of manufactured goods from this favored territory. Oa md on the stream has flowed, until we see in this little cor ner of our great country, having only about (J per cent of its area, nearly one-half of the accumulated wealth of the country. VV hen we come and a8k our friends in that sretioa to tear down, or at leaift to lower this wall of protection, so that the people living in other sec tions may have their goods cheaper, they say "my;" when we come and a.sk them to unloose the tight strings of the money purse, they eay "nay;" when we come and ask them to shoul der a lair proportion ot tbe burdens of taxation, they say "nay;" when we come and ask the Senators repre senting that section to take from the farmer and laborer somo of the bur dens of taxation and put it upon the 1 accumulated wealth of the country, the Senator from New York rises in his place and says that is an iniqui tous proposition; it is an inquisitorial prop ?itii n. Mr. President, it may be inquisito rial, or it may not. I undertake to say that it will never be inquisitorial to those who honestly comply with the law. If there is any inquisition instituted, it will only be for those who seek to evade the law; and I sub mit that they are not entitled to the sympathies of tbe Senate Ah! but says ihe Senator from New York, this is undemocratic, and he warns us that we are incorporating into the pending bill a provision which will sound the death knell of the Democratic party. Mr. Presi dent, after fifty-eight years of life in that party, and after thirty years of faithful service in that party, I un dertake to say that if it has no higher mission than to bow at tha footstool and worship at the shrine of the accu mulated wealth of this country, the sooner it dies the better. Applause in the galleries Mr. Presideut, as I understand Democracy it means sympathy with the struggling people of this country; as I understand Democracy it under takes to protect the property of the I country; but at the same time it goes out into the highways and into the byways, anl puts its great arms around the laboring people, who cre ate the wealth of the country, and undertakes to lift them up into a high er and a better life. I thank God, for one, that the Democratic party today is in the hands of those who have the courage to take some of the burdens from the people and put them upon the accu mulated wealth of the country, and instead of this bill sounding the death kuell of the Democratic party, I bc- icveithbut the first step onward to a higher prosperity and a more glorious career. If it shall only have tho cour. ie to move farther on the ine which has been selected. I be ieve, instead of our Republican riends in 18'J7 seeing a Republican President inaugurated, that the stan dard of Democracy will be advanced still higher, and that our banners will again i.jat over toe House ot rvepre sentativcH. the Senate, and the White House when tho next President shall bo inaugurated.

President Carnot Is Afortallr Stabbel oa the Streets or Lyons The Assassin Cmp tared. A Paris dispttch of the 25th say: Paris was completely horrified by the terrible news which reached the gay city toward 11 o'clock last night. President Carn-ot was at Lyons visiting the Exhibition. While he was going away from tbe Chamber of Commerce, where a barquet was held, to the Grand Theatre at 8:15 p. m . , a young man jumped out from the immense throng, sprang cn the footstep of the carriage, and Flatbed the President in the abdomen. Tie President fell back senseless and was taken immediately to the Prefecture. Eminent doctors were summoned It was impossible to stop the hemor rhage. While the doctors were dressing the wound, the President said: "Is it not all over? I am suffering intense- Tbe doctors' tkill was unavailing. President Carnot d;ed shortly after 10:30 o'olock this morning. The murderer of Carnot is an Italian Anarchist, 21 yeiri old, named Casire Giovanni Sm'o. He refused to talk aSout his deii to the Poliee Magi trate, and declared that he wou'd only speak before a jury. The wildest excitement prevails. Every attempt was made to lynch the assassin.
