When Criminal Conrt convened at

the walla of the court bouse enclosed
within a carious crowd of eager lis
tenera who had swarmed into the
murky room to bear Hia Honor
J idge L L Greene pass sentence
upon Frank Howard, who had been
found gut ty' by a jury ot twelve
men, of araon, the penalty for which
is death. Woeti His Honor asked
tho priaoner to arise, a Btillnees peri
vailed the court room that would
oiake the heart of the moat hard
hearted quiike, but the doomed crim
inal arose with a steadiness that
showed no sign of emotion. Ha waa
told to Bit down, and immediately
the j idge presented in a few words
the penalty for the awful crime of
ipplymg tha torch, referring to
evidence in whhvli the criminal a ltd:
"I meant to bum everything' on the
premises, Gdlon and nil bis family."
The Judge 8aid:
"Frank Howard, the jury has
found yon gttiKy cf nreon, the pen
alty of whieh ia death. The court
lasigned you counsel that did all
that could bo done for you, hut the
facts were so plain that a good, able,
intelligent jury and able counsel
csould only liod you guilty. The
law Bays a man guilty of so heinous
i crime ia not fit; to live in a civil
ized community. You will be re
marded to the county jail till Fri
day, the 2S.h day of August, be
tween the hours of 10 a. m , and 2
p, ui. when the sheriff of Cabarrus
eonnty will tuke you to a place
prepared for execution, when he
ahull hang you by the neck nntil
yon are dead. And nnyy God bave
mercy ot, your soul. Ia the mean
time 1 advict" you to solicit thr aid
)f Christian people to look after
your spiritual welfare." The man
mt f.ic;ng the j-idge, wa'ching as
the words that sealed hia doom fell
from Ilia Honor'a lip brazmly, and
when the sentence had been con
cluded, the negro made a sickly
grin and turned hia bead away
Not once did ho wince.
Judge Green congra'inUted How
ard aud spake in high praise of tbe
oomoiunity in which the foal deed
waa done that the people allowed
him a fair and impartial trial in-
jtead of wreaking the vongeance of
an enraged people.

own fault and the possibilities of
its effects with a recegnitlon of the'
fact that it is essential that the
railroad service should be strict in
its demands, Mr. Tbom promptly
tendered his resignation.
It is to be hoped that this seem

Saturday eight when car No. 4,
Conductor Williams and Motorman
Fraley, which was making' tbe 10 30
trip id, reached a point on the
Lookout mountain division a short
distance south of the first trestle in
Woolsey, the wheels began flying
iron nd m if possessed of some
strange illusion, while the car
started back down the heavy
incline.
The earnr-n were for a while at a
losa to find tbe cause of the car's
queer action, but a close investiga
tion disclosed tbe fact that some
person of eyil inclination had
placed soap on both rails of the
track for a distance of about 30
rarda, beginning at tbe second
ourve beyond the city limits. It
looked as though several bars of
ioivp had been used.
By a liberal use of sand and a
oleaning cf tbe track tbe car was
brought ever the hill, after an
nonr'a work or more.
It was fortunate that tbe first car
over the line after the soaping waa
innthbound. Hid it been going in
he opposite direction the result
might haye been disastrous. Ashe
