About. 10:80 o'clock this in?rning Peter Mo Geoch,. who.-iirfel opposite the National Soldier Home in an ele gant mansion, ordered bis carriage ta goto the city, and then went uo ' staifsyjlo was not seen a!ive after that, vAs Le did not appear, the ser . vants became alarmed and instituted a search for him, Hiss A'-iie Beese, who, has been a servant in the house for about a year, looked through the keyhole of the bath-room door, which was locked, aid saw Mc Geoch lying on the floor with a re volver in his hand. Be had shot himself through the mouth and death was presumably instantane . ous. The servants immediately ifctified Major W W Rowley, quar- termaste r of the Soldiers' Home, an intimate acquintince of Mr, Mc Geoch, who immediately sent for Mr, MeGeoch's son. Arthur, who re sith?sSn the city. When found Mr, McGeoch had on his business suit and was apparently ready to Btart for the city. The servants noticed nothing peculiar about his actions before the t'mt. Mr. MeGeoch's suicide is taken to be the mult ol divorce procctdirg begun last Holiday by Mrs. Mc Geoch cn the ground of incompati bility of temperament. Mrs. McGeoch was Mrs. Libbey, of Kenwood, a suburb of Chicago, when she met Mr. McGeoch. They were married about eight years ago at the Leland Hotel. Chicago. Since their maniage they have lived at the .National avenue homestead of Mr- McGecch, Mr. McGeoch had three children, a sen and two daughters, who after his marriage occupied a bouso oa Grand avenue wltfoh their father provided.

Two- very important f acts in con nection with tha.. new era of maga zines as illustrated in the December Cosmopolitan. Its fiction is by Stevenson, the last story written be fore his death, V"0mda," 3irah Grand, Zingwill, and the liegiuning of James Lne Allen's new Ken tucky realistic story, "Butterflies." Probably'no stronger arraj of fiction has ever bees presented in any maga- . - zine money could not buy better. Nor has any magazine eyer had a larger number of really distinguish ed artists engaged upon the illustra tion of a single number. The realer might be puzzled to know how such a number ran be made at the price of ten cent But the nvigaztue it self affords tbe solution. It contains 139 pages of advertising, which, as the publishers aauounc, is from $4000 to $8000 more net eaeh art vertising than was ever before print ed in in any magazine, of any kicd, and ,'.n any country. It breaks the world's record in tb'i publishing business. Moreoyer, the cost of the artists and authors who appear in this number ie divided amocgit 400, 000 copies, br.ngin tl e cost per copy proportionately low. The Cosmopolitan minks that tbe ten cent magazine, bringing, as it docs the best iu art an. literature into all chases, is an educational movement second in importance only to that of public schools. T lie Cause of the Commotion. Corncracker in the Katherfordton Democrat says that when he wa3 iu Atlanta taking in the Exposition last week he herd a great commo tion in the Negro building and a mighty weeping . and wailing and gnashing of teeth. He drew near to see what the trouble was and dis covered that it was a member oi the late North Carolina Legislature - weeping at the sight . of a buat of - Frederic. Douglass. His wail was: "-. ' 'Great was Ceaaar, great, was Alex nder, great was - Diana of tbe Ephesian?, but greater , wert thou Oh, Douglass ?" ;The pict'urfe of' the North Carolina- prophet ot .disaster - - lamenting oyer his fallen god was even more affecting than that of Alexander the Gieat when he leaned afciinat a telegraph ' pole and wept Decause mere were no mora wonas to conqu8rf'l&cte Enquirer. - -. .1. ii .

The case of Jarndyce ys. Jarndyce, alias Sherrill vs. the Western Union Telegraph. Company, has been finally disposed of. - Someyears ago Mr. H Z Sherrill, of Indiana, who was on a visit to re latives in Iredell, and while here his wife sent him a telegram notifying him of the death of their child. The telegram came to Statesville but Mr. Sherrill being unknown in town never received it. He sued the company for damages on tin ground that it did not use proper diligence in delivering the message. The case went the rounds of the courts, It had about eight hearings and went to the Supreme court three times. The third time was the charm. At the August term of Iredell Superior court the case was tried and resulted in a verdict of $1,100 damages for the plaintiff, The defendant company appealed and the Supreme court has just handed down a decision affirming the judgment of the court below. Mr. Sherrill will now get his $1,100 minus his attorney's fees. States yille Landmark, The Result of It. T J VV Brown ("Doc" everybody cal's him) is in the insurance busi ness now. Last week Doc was ply ing his trade in the country when he met H L M Agner, the teacher at Fricks school house, and tried to sell him a policy. Agner questioned the bent fib of holding one and chal lenged Doc to a public discussion of the following question: "Does it pay every man to carry insurance ?" And last night the battle came off. I'he judges were John F Ludwig, John Peeler -.nd J A ltitchie, and the decision was unauimoualy in favor of the affirmatiye. Agner is not satisGed and another round will be "pulled off" at the Mulberry Academy at an early date. Salis bury World. Tbe Landmark Kotcs the Colonel's Heath.

Another Csernl Man Has Fallen On the morning of the 25th, juat fifteen minutes past twelve o'clock, onr beloved neighbor and dear friend, Mr. John O Corriher, of this place, calmly passed away if ter an illress of only nine days. He was about forty -six years of age, leaving a wife and two children to mourn their 1038. In his death not only his church (which he was very devoted to) sustained an irrepairable loss but also our town and surround ing country. In his death I have lost one of my best friends, though I have known him only a little over two years- Tbe words that now fall from the lips of nearly every one who knew him is: "He was my best friend." He will be badly missed ii our lit tle town and especially by the poor as he was always most thoughtful of them. It is bard to giye up such a friend but we feel that he is now at rest iu that beautiful land "Just over the river,'' free from all the cares and turmoils of this earthly existence. Though fond of life and its pleasure?, he never forgot the woes of others, and always carried sunshine with him wherever he went, scattering many seeds of kind ness along the dull, weary pathway of endless toil and futile hopes, the poor and suffering knew only too well. When the grim shadows of death were stealing over him he had no fear, only desiring to live to train his children for usefulness in church and state, but conscious to the last, he manifested the same perfect faith and Christian fortitude that had characterized his beantif ol life, and thus he passed away in the full assuranc3 of a blissful rest in the realms of Immortality.

Raleigh, Nov. 25, The Farmers' Alliance today purchased from the estate of the late Mr, Paul C Came eron the old military academy at Hillsboro with five buildings and 140 acres of land, the price paid be ing $3,500. The investment is said to be "a good one, though some would have preferred Caryas aloca" tion. Work begins at once, fitting the building for use as a tannery and shoe factory, and also for Alb ance headquarters. The buildings are all of brick save one. The main building is 26x215, three statics high; the chapel and mees hall 215x30; and there are other build ings of convenient size. For twenty years these have been unoccupied. A prominent AUianceman said today that it is the purpose of the order to make all the articles that farmers use. He says that application will be made for a postoifice at the new factory and that a manufacturing town will be built there. Mr. J W Denmark give3 me some interesting .figures regarding the shoe industry. There are 2,082 fac tories in this country with $95,000, 000 cspitol, and an output $220,049,- 358; the profits being 26,000,000;and the percentage of profit on capital invested .27.55.

A LCboreh Incendiary. The Goldsboro Argus tells of the burnirg of a newly built church at Indian Springs, about six miles from Seven Springs, which bad been built jointly by the Methodists and Baptists of that place in common. It was an incendiary fire and the church was burned only a week be fore it was to have been dedicated. A remarkable thing connected with the affair is that each congre gation formerly had its own sepa rate house of worship and they were both destroyed by incendiaries, and as soon as this one was built to take the place of both it was likewise burned. The people are justly in dignant and anxious to detect the criminal. It makes a total of $3," 000 worth of church property de stroyed there within a few months This is no small item for a country neighborhood. Doctor Thompsonism .is getting in its work.
