AN ANALYSIS OF THE STOMACH SHOWS ARSENIC SUSPICION POINTS TO KOONTZ'S DAUGHTER AN AR BEST WILL BE HADE On the 27th of May Standard readers will remember the sudden death of Rev. D. J. Koontz, col., president of the North Carolina Alpha Synod of Colored Lutherans. On that date about 12:30 Rev. Koontz, never before sick and a per fect picture of health, was suddenly and violently taken sick. About sun-down he passed away. A post mortem examination was made, but nothing was specially revealed. In the presence of the coroner's jury the stomach was bottled and eealed securely. An analysis of the stom ach would have been made but the county commissioners, not believing there was any foul play, dismissed the matter. In not a few minds there was sus picion of foul play, many having said so in a public manner. The bottled stomach was placed away and during last week Dr. L. M. . 1 1 A- A' - ?A Arcney naa occasion io nonce iu He was surprised to find it in a state of such perfect preservation. This aroused suspicion in the Doctor's mind. So last Friday, Dr. Archey called in Rev. Mr. Campbell, who is well informed on chemical analysis, and they made an analysis of a small quantity of the liquid drawn from the stomach. The result was the reveal ing of arsenic. The glass tube was shown to Capt. A. Thies, of the Phoenix mine, who in a moment, without a knowledge of what the gentleman had been doing, pro nounced the substance on the glass to be arsenic. On Saturday, by another method, the gentleman did not succeed in an analysis as an explosion occurred. This morning the analysis was re peated. The results show, beyond a posibility of a doubt, a considerable quantity of arsenic. A reporter saw on a porcelain saucer 15 spots of genuine arsenic substance secured from a tea-spoon full of the liquid drawn from the bottle containing the stomach. WHAT DOES IT MEAN ? Every body, who knew Rev. Knootz, knows that he was a robust, h.'althy man. That he took sick and died so suddenly, led to suspic ion. The house was examined. The only thing of a poisonous nature found was a box of "Rough on Rats." The family had eaten before Koantz came in, and tnere was evidence tnat they had eaten of the principal dish greens. Rev. fioontz began eat- i i i ing greens and suddenly ne was taken sick. Many were disposed to lelieve that he died from heart di sease, while others thought different- HIS DAUGHTER SUSPECTED. It M as learned at the time that the old man had' corrected his daughter for some conduct and that she was not nleaset!. At the death of her father, she was not very much exercised, but took the affair quite calmly. That she ate of the greens before her father came in from his work and experienced no disa greeable results, and that af terwardb ner tamer took so violently sick irm eating the greens or from some other cause, was enougn io cause parties to suspect some foul play. That arsenic has been found in his stom ach, the authorities thought that the circumstances m the case justified the arrest of Koontz's daughter. As we go to press we learn that a war. rant has been issued for ner arrest A fall investigation will doubtless be had at an early day. The New Prmm at Wrk.

But before the gates were opened there was oreaK in tne clouds, and invigor ated by the warm sunshine, many people left their homes to attend the lair. They were disappointed in not getting to see the balloon go up, but when it was learned that Zeb Vance was in town and would speak to them, the crowd thought they were more than repaid. Several fine specimens of manhood carried a billy and had pinned on their coat a rib bon with the words "City Police" on it. Perfect order prevailed through out the day, and these men did not have an opportunity to cover them. selves with glory. At about eleven o'clock a large crowd assembled in the grove in the j . i i i- xair grounas to near a speecn irom awiiu uaiviiuas xaiuiiic sum, kJCIA- ator Z. B. Vance. The speech was one of the happiest of his life. He discussed things in a plain way, spoke candidly on everything, and all the way through showed the honesty of the great Statesman.

The judges were too much interested in the ox race to give us particulars. as near as we stands as follows: could it First race: Pullman, entered Daly, Grey Ben, entered by E. bv T. iiost; won by 1'ullman.

Rippy took the pouch and weut off to the Caro- ina Central depot to meet the train. The train makes no stop at Moors . boro and a mail rack is used so that the route agent may catch the pouch as the train goes by. Between the Post Office and the depot, Rippy cut open tne poucn and took out tne money. He then arranged the mail so it could not be caught by the route agent and came back to town, .Parties, during the day, passed by and found the pouch cut open and v;ntrnn th frrmind TV, nutWi- C ties were notified and developments resulted in the arrest of Rippy on the 25th. When arrested Marshal McFalls made a diligent search all over the negro's person in hope that the sev enty dollars would be found. While tne scarcn was come on, me nesro held the money in his hand, and the marshal failed to find it. Sheriff Hamrick also failed to discover the money, until his young son call ed his attention to someth:ng in the nesrro s hand, it proved to be a small purse containing the stolen currency. When arranged the negro contess ed and said no one was imphwted with him in the robbery. At first, it was thought there might be some others connected with the affair, but Inspector wayiand and ur, uiiDert, after a thorough search, have decid- ed that the negro Rippy is the only guilty party.

It was a biar success, the third annual exhi bition by the Cabarrus A. & M. F. Association. The success was beyond the expectations of the most enthu siastic. The management is resting easy on its oars, bince everything has rocked back into usual and regular channels, the true condition of affairs can" be seen. Monday was a desper ately gloomy day; Tuesday was playing on the same trump, and Wednesday was but little better. But in spite of the inclemency of the weather a large crowd came in ; so it was on Thursday. Eriday was a gem, and the attendance as lage as expected. Too much praise cannot be given to the management. Like the true men they are, they gave in a measure their efforts for the success and en couragement of the Fair. The receipts are large euough to pay all expenses, the premiums, and to cut a great hole into the debt that is held against the Association. This means that the Fair is a fix ture a dead certainty hereafter. The county did its part; so did the town.

Kinston Free Press: A whale was entangled in a large fish net off Moredead City last Friday night. The net would not pull in, and the fishermen didn't know what to make of it. After awhile the net became 6lack, and they pulled a lot of it in, until they saw what at first they thought was a log; then they thought it was an immense shark. When it got near, all of a sudden it raised up above the water about eight feet and they saw it was a whale, lhe fish ermen were badly frightened, and a rope, connected with tne net, be came fastened around the ankie of Mr. Walter Guthrie. He caugnt hold of the boat, and the rope slip ped off, only taking off the skin from his ankle. It was a close snave. The whale went off to sea, taking along part of the net. It is supposed the whale was enclosed in the large net while asleep. Greensboro Patriot About one o'clock Friday W. L. Frazier one of Messrs.

Just as Mr. Irazier turned from the shelves, Mr. Bell, another salesman, spoke to him from the head of the stairs in regard to some business. Mr. Frazier as he turned to answer, struck a match to light his cigar, throwing the match down. The next instant there was a loud explosion, the front windows of the store were shivered to atoms, the cast iron and heavy glass of which the maohme was composed was shattered and sent with terrific force in all directions. One piece of iron struck Mr. Frazier in the left side bruising him badly. One side of his face and neck were badly burned. He ran rapidly around the counter and staggered against some boxes of merchandise, pressing his hand to his side he complained of great pain. Dr. Wakefield at once took him in charge and attended him home. The Dr. thinks Mr. Frazier's injuries, while they are painful, are not serious. His eyes miraculously es caped serious injury.
