JUDGE SCHENCK AGAIN.
Will Tell All, Though Be be Assas
sinated "Asin"I'rivate Cars-States
that lie Alas a Grievance and tbcn
Proceeds to Air It-Directed by
Animosity.
Judge Scbenck'a second article in
opposition to the confirmation of the
lease of the North Carolina Kailroad
wijjjaispear ia this week's Caucasian
Judge Schenck heads his article
"The Law is Stronger than the Cor
porations and the people make the
Law The Pen is mightier that the
Sword."
The Judge star's off by saying
that his former article stirred np the
Southern Railway considerably and
its friends came to its assistance by
personal abase of him instead of re
plying to his arguments. Quoting
his language, "I have been a Btudent
of corporation law for 14 years and
am yam enough to think that I know
something about it.
He stales that the Southern em-
plpjfia him for 14 years; that he
went day and night, destroying bis
health; that he went into the em
ploy of the road reluctantly and only
by fair promise; lht instead of re
munerating for l.ia hard services
after disabling bis health or exercis
ing any feeling of humanity or
charity toward him in his helpless
condition, the "soul ess corporation'
cooly turned him out withct pre
fernog any charges against hiin.
'It thought I was dead aid treated
me as it won id a dead dog, by abol
ishing my office."
Judge Schenck says that he has
taken no cases p.gaiust the Southern
Railway free of charge, nor was he
a disappoiu'ed candidate for director
of the North Carolina Railroad; that
he will have his sy though he be a?
saBsinated and la'.cnds to take all
th4w$3se8 he can get against the
Southern and will be greatful toanj
one who employs b:m; says he knows
its weak points and is not afiaid to
meet the railroad in the courts,
He says that by holding a charter
out of the 5iate casi.8 can be remov
ed to the Federal courts, and that
this is done in instances where
amounts exceeding $2,000 are
claimed. It is fun her alleged that
tho railroad claims it can cot get
justice in theBe caees in order to
baye them remove 1. The J ndge
predicts that the next Legislature
will enact laws to prevent this if the
bills are not purloined.
He holds that the .State has the
right to tax foreign corporations;
that foreign corporations can be ex
cluded from the State, or a tax im
posed on ita shares or sioc';.
The ex-Judge plainly st.te3in the
beginning that (like the Irishman)
he is ft man with a grievance, tie
heaps abuse on railroad officials and
grows eloquent on "luxurious cars"
in which the officials, Le states, roll
along throught the State in gorges
pus splendor. It is further stated
that liveried servants await the tap
of an electric bell in Col. Andrews'
private car.
Ye gods and little fishes! Dan
Polk in livery. And the Judge
farther says it would be more con
sistent, too, with a Republican form
of government, if these nabobs
would not display their wealth be
fore the eves of the Bufleriug poor
around the depots. It stated that
other States have compelled rail
roads to take oat charters.
Judge Schenck a3aerts that the
Southern is now stretching out is
octopus bauds to gather in the C. F.
& Y. V, Kiilro d, and mat the Gov.
ought, if necessary, call the Legisla
ture together to prevent the consuv
mation of this cnin, or the Balti
more syndicate ought to postpone a
sale nntil the next Legislature meets
in order to take actiou. He further
says that the Southern is trjing to
destroy all the branches of this road.
The Judge praises the Railroad
Commission. Uaya that it has le
duced accidents to life and limb one
half by compelling railroads to ketp
their tracks and other property in
repair. He gives the Farmers' Al
liance credit for .creating the com
mission.
The Judge states that the next
Legislature should raise a joint com
mittee on railroad reform, and let it
formulate a code.
Judge Schenck announces that be
will come again, and closes by statu
ing that "with free silyer,' free
speech and freedom from the power
of foreign corporations written on
its banner, the Alliance will win
against all comers."

MR. JNO. H.ROYSTER KILLED
A lelesram Came Testerday to nr.
Tlrtruvlus Royster That His Broth
er Had Been Kan Over by a Train
In Atlanta.
Yesterday afternoon about half
past three o'clock, while Mr. Virtru
vi u s fioystei, Assistant Clerk of the
United States Court, was busy at
his desk during the trial of the cases
before the court, a telegram cs
handed to him.
It announced simply that hia
brother had been run oyer by a train
in Atlanta and killed.
The elegram came from Ex-GoV'
erner Northern, of whom the young
man was a private secretary. His
name was John H Royster and he
was thirty.three years old.
Mr. Royster left Raleigh about
twelve months ago, took a good
posit io , married, and now leaves a
young wife and infant.
Tnis fact would alone neeni to
have given a deep enough pathos to
the shock of his death, but a more
cruel touch was yet to come: yester
day morning his mo her and sister
left on the 5:30 train to visit their
son and brother. They arrived yes
terday afternoon in Atlanta, about
the lime of the frightful happening,
and found the body a corpse in the
depot.
Mr. Royster was seen last night
by a reporter of the News and Ob
seryer. He had telegraphed imme
diately to Atlanta, but had perfected
no arrangements that he cared to
give out. Moreover, he was so dazvd
at the suddennesi of it all, that he
wa3 not in condition to talk of the
matter. Raleigh News and Ob

Those Who ba!l fail to ray.
An "out" iu our report of the or-
Jer by the commissioners in regard
to the settling of taxes put a false
light to its mraniug. The words
"fail lo" were left out. Following
8 the correct order.
Upon moiion it was ordered that
he sheriff give to the clerk of the
boaid a list of all persons who failed
to make a return for taxation for the
year 1835, and who bhall fail to pay
on or before January 1, 1896
ail taxes assessed against them and
that said clerk hand said list to the
olicitor for this district and a copy
therof to the foreman of the next
grand jury and that sucn persons
may be prosecuted.

That the evangelist cioze is being

becoming known more and more day
afterjday, we may expectall our
people to soon return to the good,
old, licensed minister, who besides
being amcninble to some ecclesiastic
body, does not have lo be a drunk
ard, a scum, a thief and a gambler a
r uoiber of years before he becomes
Ctujd for the high office' of preach
ivg the gospel. It is said that
Bishop .Duncan spoke, at Reidsvilie,
in no uncertain tones. This comes
out frorn'Raleish :
It appears, according to people
who were at the Methodist Confer
ence at Reidsville last Sunday, that
Bishop Duncan rather rubbed it on
evai.gelists, icspecially Jones and
Fife. No names were mentioned,
but the allusions were extremely
pointed. A large number of the
church people appear to bear no
love for the evangelists.

Only Petty Thift, anil not Proven.
Columbia, S. O., Dc. 5. The
details of an ugly lynching which
occurred in this Stata last A:onday
night cime to light io-nicLt. It
took place down in Colleton county
near the Barnwell and IIai?uC3n
lines. The dead bodies of two of
the Victims, stripped of their cioth
ing, were found, one being an old
woman. They h.id been bearm to
death with ne buggy traces, the
man's offense being that he was sus.
pected of having stolen j Bible and
some furniture from a church and
the woman's effense being that she
was supposed to know something of
it. Liquor seems to be the only ex
cuse for the deed, if excuse there
can be.
A young negro, Isom Kears?, who
was Buspected ot stealing the Bible
from St, Nicholas church, wag taken
by four or eix Barnwell county men
and tied behind their buggy. They
drove so fast the negro sometimes
lo3t his footing and was dragged
along.
On th"i way two of the party were
sent bacK to get the negro's aged
mother "Old Mauma Hannah," and
his young wife, a girl about 17 years
of age, who has a five months old
infant. At the ferry the party held
up. When the women arrived cone
of the three would or could tell any
thing about the church'property.
Upon their refusal they were ail
three stripped naked and beaten
with a new buggy trace, which it is
auid was almost worn out. Tiie
man wa3 given about 150 lusher
and fell insensiole, his body being in
in a terrible condition; the women
were likewise severely beaten. The
man several tini23 pleaded with his
tormeaters to ehcot him. The old
woman broke away ar.d dashed into
the woods. The younsc worn in did
likewise, going in a different direc
tion The men built a lire near the insen
sible negro, threw his old coat over
him and left. On Wednesday morn-.
ing his bodywas found where it was
I At, cold in death. I; had been
there one n: ?ht and cue day. About
100 y.irds away in the swamp, Ijicg
in a. pool of water aboatknee deep,
wa3 found the old woman's tcdj,
cold and stiff. She bad fallen face
downward with her hands exUnJed
The jyoung woman managed to
Cud her way home, and4is tail to be
in a critical condition.
The coroner's jury ha3 rendered a
verdict charging directly four
prominent men, one a physician,
with the crime. Others, who tried
to prevent the deed, gave the infor
mation. Lost Her Bonnet, But Didn't Know It
It is a very common occurrence
for a man to lose or misplace his
hat but a very singular thing for a
woman to lose her bonnet, especially
from her head A' lady recently
eilied at a certain parsonage upon
the sick wife of the minister, but
did not tarry long, as she was on
her way to church, which was a
mile from the minister's hou3e.
Between the house and the church
the bonnet became detached from
the lady's head and was lo.t, the
discoyery not beicg made until
a'ter seryices, when soma gentleman
remarked that it was a new "fangle"
ftir women to go entirely without a
bonner, although one variety of
style is Jalmost invisible. This
happened in a little village not more
that 15 miles from this city, and is
told by a preacher.

At one o'clock thu morning two

The accideet occurred 300 yards

trains involved were No. 45, south
bound, Engineer T H Hammond
and Conductor K L Gilmer; and the
fourth section of Ho. 42, Charlotte
bound, Engineer George A Link
and Conductor T B Sumner.
At railroad beadqnarters, it is
said that the blame for the collision
rests on the Charlotte bound train,
which was over twelve hours late.
The rule governing the running of
train's is that when a train becomes
over twelve hours late, it lcees all
right to run aat? is what is termed
es a dead train. It cin move only ou
orders. Ic is supposed that the
conductor and ecginjc-r of -42 over
looked the fact that they wera oyer
12 hours lute, and continued to run
oa the former orders, when they
should have remained "dead," and
got in the way of 4S. The collision
was a terrific one, the engines com--ing
together with great force. En
gineer Hammond was injured by
leaping from his engine. Engineer
