TIIUEE CRIMES
Committed In Surry ConnlT MirK
lary, lu : ilcr and traoii.
The Elkin correspondent to the
Cuarlotto Observer says :
Mrs. Uans, the widow lady
who was murdered and then
burned in her house, in tbia coun
ty, on Saturday night, the 18th
inst., seems to have had a consid
erable sum of money, and it was
to secure this that caused the toul
deed. One Jack Mays was sus
pected and placid under arrest.
The evidence nguinst him was so
strong that he mudo a confession,
in part, and endeavored to impli
cate another party as an accessory,
but fuiled. lie was sent to juil to
day to await the action of the
court, in September, provided
Judge Lynch does not call him to
accouDt before that time. Ha gave
instructions at home for them to
Lave his clothes ready, and asked
his brother to have a Collin pre
pared, a he would need it soon.
He fully expects to be lynched,
but it is hoped that the better
judgment of the people will pre
vail aid allow the law to tuke its
course. The crime was the mat
inhuman deed ever committed in
this part ot the State. Three
crimes iu one were committtd, for
either one of which the penally is
death burplurv, mnrdtr and ar
son. The only remains of the poor
old woman found among the ashes
were a part of one thigh bone and
her heart.

" The seductive power 6t opium

man who has not been a victim to
the drug can faintly comprehend
its fearful fa-cir,ation,"faid Mr L W

A NEW COMMAND.
How Cant, keoit Uut HI Men Out ef
the Way of a t nr.
A good one is told on Copt,
b'cott, of the Qnckstep-, who id
tended to leave with h 8 men for
Fort Macon yesterday. The itory
goes that as the captain was putting
the company through the mih'ary
sprouts on tbe march down Fatton
avenue, he sw a trolly cirap

co'liaion he s'udiid for i lis proper
command, but as it did not come to
him instantly he fang out "3oatier,

This command, while probably
not in the army tuc'ics, will be
found in (he latiet edition of

"Scat' et" will prove a useful com

The Crowd Uld Not Go.
A large crowd of our people in
tended to go to Salisbury Friday
nif;ht to attend an opera entitled
the "Pied i'iper of Hameliu" a
part of the proceeds of which
went to Company L, but on ac
count of the word received only a
while before the train arrived tbat
our people could not be brought
back that night. Very many
that were even at the depot
did not go. Mr. Tillinhast, thr
manier of the play, had promised
tliat tho people could be brought

A crowd of about a doz n went
however and attended the opera,
which was Fp'.etdid A large

in the play, from the little child

thi Raleigh police. They could not
arrest on Ihe rrder of a civilian,
and wired to the chief of police at
Concord for instructions.,but did not
receive any before tbe train arrived
here, so the "coons" were not mo

A crowd similar to the one tbat
is seen at the depot when the stu

turning home, was at the depot
last Thursday morning to see the
colored men under the command of
Captain Hood board tbe traiu for
Fort Macon to join tbe arm,;.
About thiity-two men were taken
from this place, and the remainder
of tbe men will be taken on at Sal
isbury. The soldiers were quartered
in Caton's hall the night before,
leaving and were at the depot tbe
next morning at an early hour.
AU of tbe boys were very anxious
to go, with but a few exceptions.
Several of them were seen to shed a
tear as they ga ye their final fare
well. As this command will be joined
with another, they had no officer
except their acting captain. Slade,
who was to have been their Lieu
tenant, decided tbat Fort Macon
was not tbe place for him. Proba

his foot, and after about a week
took lockjiw from it. Since that

time.

having the latter affection 0 ye days.
This is ratber a singular case and of
course brings special sadness to the
people of tbe community thereebout.
Worn Than Nmall Pox.
A very deplorable sensation
exists at Mooreevilleand Statesville.
It is worse than tbe small pox. Dr.
II L Lowrance, a dentist, of Moores
is charged with a I einous crime on
Miss Lillie Jones, of Coddle Creek
neighborhood in Iredell county,
while under the influence of an
anaestbetio. Tbe doctor haa bad a
hearing and has been committed to
jail in Statesville to await trial in
the Superior court. The doctor pro
duced no testimony save his stren-
urus denial. It seems that both
parties are so faverably regarded as
to require a thorough trial before
there can be any decision in the
minds of the public.
At Home and Mnrh Improved.
Miss Elizabeth Gibson, daughter
of Mr. Jas. C. Gibson, has arrived
at home from Richmond from the
hospital, where she has been for
treatment for several months, tier
mother, who has been with her
there, also returned. She seems to
be very much improved.
It will be a sourca of much grati
fication on the part of her many
friends to know tbat her physician
says tbat her disease is now cured
and she only neods tn recuperate.

"Henry Bruton, Sam Davis and

Wednesday for Concord to join the

The enlisting iflicer then induced
them to join the company. All of

called to Concord in the past

" be following letter fiom a lady
at Jtlowing Rock has been received
which we take tbe liberty to publish:
"Tbe season at this most delight.

Miss Annie Williams, of lieidsvil'e,
and Miss M FetzT of Concord, are
among the guests here. Rev. H

The following statement in Mon
day's Standard is as unfortunate
as it is untimely : "But as he is
dead we should pass over his follies
lightly and remember tbat in hie
lifetime he gave evidences of a very
advanced goatship." What follies
did Bill commit ?
Bill, it will be remembered, was
tbat daring "Hircus ic;agrus," the
cool- martyr of the Sabbath fire,
About 4 o'clock, ere the strolling
time of man began, famous Bill
was pensively strolling Zionward
But those quick peals of the fright
ened bell, the fast strikes of neat
leather on the hard pavements, the
dark smoke of burning home, the
pitiful braying of a kindred tribe,
and the soul-stirring cry of his
master for help, told conscious Bill
to come. Loyal, brave and true, he
gamboled not with time, but un
stripped the fleetest. l ire on both
sides and but one narrow channel
ytt brave and heroio he faltered
not. Hearing the famishing cry of
his kindred for liberty, Bill entered
the dangerous channel and sank
himself near the harbor. Truly he
was a Hobson on the Merrimac. 1
think the ''Rev.'' was happy in as.
sociating Bill with Dawey, Hobson
and Blue. If Dewey, Hobson or
Blue bad fallen in tbe crisis, they
would live in poetry and song, per
petuated by a national monument
written high upon its base in mar
ble white the words : '' The Heroes
of Cuban Liberty."
Then why in the name of com
mon justice should "Folly" be
written on Bill's slab? Though be
is dead and has but few mourners
(as advanced goatship is never ap
preciated in tbe age in which it
lives) yet we hope tbe day may
oome when the Editor will see .that
the "folly" is his and not Bill's.
