C, July 2 Governor Carr passes upon the proceedings of the court martial which convicted Lieut, Frank Wilnes, of ttib Charlotte division of Naval Reserves, and says that while it is evident he displayed great negli gence and carelessness in official corre spondence, reports and details of i th service, yet it does hot clearly show thai; his actions were prompted by insubordi nate or improper motives; that the court, though fair, attached too much impor tance to technicalities;! that in time of peace it is not contemplated or required that for slight infractions of duty, where no evil intent is shown, a soldier should 'be subjected to loss cf social or business standing by too harsh or too literal an interpretation of the letter of military law. The Governor was greatly aided by the able review of Judge, Advocate ".General f Strange.

This check is "for institutes in North Carolina." Dr. Curry adds to the j bottom of his letter: j "Let me have your opinion of the ; amendtdj school law. It seems to me tliat the abolition of county superiatend ency is a long step ! backward. What appropriation j was made, for normal schools and institutes?" Mr. Scarboro says that by the present fusion law there are no "institute' ap propriations and that, therefore, none will be held. The 1,000, therefore, will be disjded between the colored normal schools at Fayetteville, Franklinton, Elizabeth City, Plymouth, Salisbury and Goldsboro. There is another $1,000 to go to thee schools by regular appropria- on. The colored normal school that as started conditionally at Winston ill receive $1,000 from the State to eet expensesjup to that amount.

This work has been principally done by Mr. J . W. Jenkins, who for sonie time past has been devoting his time to it. j! At Asbury yesterday afternoon as the southbound Seaboard Air Line train was passing, a 3-year-old son of Mr. T.

Ex-Governor Jones, of Alabama, was a caller at the Executive office on Satur day afternoon. He then left for Haw River, where he is a guest of ex-Governor Thomas Holt. I Rev. Dr. Pittinger yesterday from the pulpit suggested to his congregation that he would bike their support in holding a short service on the morning of July 4th. He spoke earnestly of how appro priate he thought such a service would be, and it is hoped his idea will be carried out Some years ago there used to be an early morning service held by the Baptists, Methodists j and Presbyterians jointly, but with. that has been done away The News and Observer has prepared a statement of figures quite elaborate, but which goes to! show 1 that at the end of 7896 there will be a dehcit of fD,uuu in tlie treasury.

Rev. Dr. Carter in his sermon in tM?e First Baptist church of this city on SunJ day gave a most touching eulogy to the memory of the late Mr. R. S. Pullen, whose open-handed generosity baa en deared his memory to the people of this city, irrespective of race or denomina tion. The remains of Miss Montague, a sister of Mr. B. F. Montague, of this city, were brought here last night. She died in New ork, and her funeral was to have been held yesterday afternoon, but the Seaboard Air Line train was four hours late, so it had to be postponed un til this morning. , A Gretna Green sensation occurred a few days ago at New Hill out in this county. Dr. Battle, a man well read in his profession, ran away with the 13-year-old daughter of Mr. Cary Bright. Drt Battle is 30 years old. The commu nity were shocked at his action.

'!' ! . ! I The county commissioners were in session yesterday. There is a tremendous falling off in property valuation, gen erally, but an increase! in three of the townships. Mr. W. C; Stronach, chair man of the board, when asked how this falling off would affect the financial affairs of the county, said that there would be money enough to . defray the county expenses during the coming year, but that there was no ctiance to pay any thing on the floating debt of the county, which has been accumulating from year to year. He says they have been making too small a levy, een where the valu ation of real estate was high. j The civil service commission has or dered that an examination be held in this city August 3rd for the grades of clerks, storekeepers, gangers, and store keeper gangers age for clerk applicants not under 18 vears: other grades not under 21 years. .

The Proaressive Farmer of to-day says that $1,700, of the proposed $4,500 for the Alliance shoe factory to be erected at Carv. is in hand, and urges upon the members of the Alliance the need of pushing the matter vigorously. The an nual meeting of the State Alliance on August 8th will, bv special invitation, be held in the town of Cary. Mr. W. E. Christian, on account of his splendid "write up" of the Shemweil- Payne tragedy in Lexington last winter, has been subpoenaed to appear as a wit ness in the trial of Shemwell. which is in progress now. The last Legislature passed a law re quiring each druggist that sold liquor to pay a $50 license tax. The Populists ex pected $50,000 from this law. But so far onlv fourteen have paid this tax, and the $700 paid in looks very small com pared to the 150,000 anticipated. There is very grave complaint made here against the officials of the street car company. It is said that they are, witn a few exceptions, gruff and uncourteous, and a few nights ago a difficulty 00 curred between Conductor Bunch and Mr. Guion Dewey; finally blows passed and a regular fight jfollowed. Both were fined $10 by the Mlayor, but if such trouble is continued the company cannot expect the patronage of the public. I Mai. Guthrie's reply to Treasurer Worth regarding the legality of the con tinuance of the Arrington committee is published in full in the Progressive Farmer of this date. He says that his interpretation of the affair is "that when the General Assembly i adiourned, this committee, like all other legislative com mittees. where it is not otherwise especi ally provided for, became functus officio, except as to making a formal report to the Supreme court instead of the assem bly." He further says , if any expense has been incurred since the legislative adiournment that there is no authority for it: therefore, the 'council's expense is unlawful as well as the per diem, etc., of the members of ithe committee. Nevertheless the council has his $40 and Cafnpbell his $99.40.

Youne Lady Throuch Grief Over a Broken Engagement Commits Suicide in tbe Sunday School j lloom of a Hicbmond, Vs., f Church While Her For i mer Fiance is Slnkr- 1 iDg the Closing; Hymn of the Evening Service. i ! Ricnmond Dispatch .j Miss Minnie B. Wilkiason committed suicide in the infant-class room of the Second Presbyterian church Sunday af ternoon by shooting herself through the heart. The tragedy which was distressing in every particular, and one of the most sensational in Richmond's history, oc curred near the close of the 6 o'ciock service,. Next to the last stanza o: the closing hymn, "Awake, My Soul, Stretch Every Nerve," was being siing, when somtt of those in the .church heard what was found later to have been! the fatal pistol shot. ,The report was not a loud one, and fell some of those upon whose ears it thought it j was only a rock thrown against a window. Many, perhaps half of the congregation, had withdrawn from the church, and were oh their way home before they knew what! had hap pened. The sad affair created great ex citement among those who were advised of it before leaving, but therb were no scenes. ; ! ? , From what can be learned there seems to be no doubt that Miss Wilkinson took heir life to end the intense grief that she had experienced as a result iof the en gagement that had long existed between her and Mr. Hi. 5. Marquess naving Deen broken some time ago. ! j Miss Wilkinson was a member of Dr. Hoge's church, and attended jquite regu larlv. She was present at the morning service, and after the congregation had been dismissed chatted with her menus, and seemed to be in her usual spirits. When she left home for the afternoon service she had, without the knowledge of the family, taken a pistol from the room of her brother-in-law,! and evi dently concealed it under her clothing. It was with thi3 that she enaea ner ex istence. ' ! I She did not, as far as is known, enter the main body of the church at all, but went through the side way into tne lec ture room, where she wa3 seen before the service commenced, eazing stead fastly at a portrait of Dr. Hoge. She met the nanitor. Joshua, greeted mm cheerily, and asked whether or not he intended makine: anv change in tne ar rangements of the infant class room, end upon receiving the assurance mat he did not intend doing so, tnanted mm. Joshua then left her to go to the loft to pump the organ, and she closed the shutters. She then emerged into the hallway immediately behind the pulpit and between the church proper and the infant class room. Several! times she was seen walking to and fro in front of the door leading into the church, and although she acted somewhat queerly nothing was thought of her behavior until it was recalled afterward by the shooting. During the sermon she re mained near the door of the church and apparently listened attentively to all Dr. Hoge had to say. When he concluded his discourse she returned to! the infant class room, where she went deliberately to work making preparations to kill her self. She carefully folded her gloves and laid them, together with her parasol, on the ledge of a bookcase in the room, and the presumption is that she th0n drew the pistol from her clothing, where she must have concealed it, and placing the. muz zle against her left breast fired the shot which terminated her existence. The ball penetrated the breastbone through the centre and pierced the heart slightly to the right, causing almost instantane ous death. The unfortunate laoy ieii just behind the door and) between a ench and the bookcase, on which she had laid her gloves and parasol, under a window. ! Several of the officers of the church remained behind to investigate the noise they had heard. Mr. S. H. Hawes was the first to leaye the sanctuary through the rear door, and he was! closely fol lowed by Capt, Maxwell IjT. Clarke. When these gentlemen reached the hall Mr. Hawes smelled the fume of powder, and called Mr. Clarke's attention to it. Mr. Hawes pushed open the door of the infant department, which was partially closed, and there, lying behind the door he discovered M133 Wilkinson's body. The lady was yet alive, but I! just as the gentlemen reached her she breathed her last. The lace on her corsage was aflame, having probably ignited from the flash of the pistol, so close did the suicide place the muzzle to liher bosom. Mr. Hawes quickly extinguished this, and an' alarm was raised. j Messengers were quickly dispatched fori doctors and several physicians promptly! responded, but all too late to do any go0d, as the un fortunate woman had long since de parted this life. " ! In the mean time Dr. Hoge, following his usual custom, retired through the rear door of the church, and, noticing that something unusual ha!d happened, hastened into the infant-class room, where he was greatly shocked when he beheld Miss Wilkinson's dead body. Hi3 grief was most poignant, and be wept bitterly. Dr. Hoge is said to have loved the deceased as though she Were one of his children, and, therefore, the shock to him was even greater than it would or- dinarily have been. He was gotten out of the room as quickly as possible, and, with Mr. James Lyons, Jr.,! hastened to the home of Miss Wilkinson's parents, where the sad intelligence was imparted to the bereaved parents. When life was pronounced f-xtincft by i the doctors who wen I summoned, Core- ner Taylor was notified . and arri vi-d on the scene al most immediately. He made a part a I exiammauoni and decided tnat death was jthe result of suicide, tjbere fore deeming an inquest unnecessary. Miss Wilkinson was in her 34th year, and for more than fifteen years had; been the bethrothed of Mr.Ernest B. MaroWss, a nephew f Dr. Hoge.- Recently Mr. Marquees cancelled the engagement be tween himself and the dt-ceastd, and tnis is thought to have preyed on her mind until she became thoroughly crazed 1 and took her life. It had been understood fox years, both by the members of the con gregation and by the friends 'of the couple.that the two were engaged, and it was thousrht at one time that thev Would U . i. - m have been married two years ago. Mr. juarquess is saia, nowever, to nave post poned the event untu finally he mtofmd Miss W ukinson that they could nevpr be married. The rea?on that he is believed to have givpn for this was that hl felt it to be his duty to give his life to! the Lord's service, and that ho had deter mined to e iter into evangelistic j work. This was some months ago, but thejj two continued to go together until rec fitly. Since then Miss Wilkinson has I t-liown signs of melancholia. This was remarked upon by her friends, and the cause wa3 soon noiseijl about. j " Mr. Marquess possesses a fine voice, 3nd sings in the choir of Dr. Hoge's church. He was in his accustomed pi ice in the choir loft Sunday afternoon, when the traged occurred, but left the church without knowing anything of it. While the unhapW lady was seen standing at the rear door. during the service, it was noticed by some that she gazd intently into the chbir 16ft, presumably at her former afiianced: indeed, htkr last act be fore going into the room from whii h she never emerged alive was to look into the choir loft. I El At the suggestion of Dr. Ho20 the I .1!! body was taktn into his home to bei pre pared for burial, and was then takofi by Undertaker Christian to the home df the father.
