C, Oct. 28, 1889. f Friday night Judge Fred. Phillips went up to Lexington, at the Governor's request, to investigate matters regard ing the lynching and to try such of the lynchers as might be brought before him. Solicitor B. F. Long has been there a couple of days. There was no time lost evidently. It was learned this morning that about twenty ot the lynchers had been arrested and were under a strong guard. They were held by the Judge under afRdavite made by the Solicitor. Ff if teen special depu ties had been sworn, in addition to the sheriff and his deputies. It is said that some of the ringleaders of the mob have fled. It is learned that the trial of the lynchers began to-day. There will probably be more arrests. It is said there were about seventy-five in the actual lynching party. This is a very important matter. Heretofore lynchers have gone right on. One year they disposed of fourteen people. But there is a new departure, now. One thing is very notable the sympathy with lynchers shown by so many people. It is a bad sign. It was said at the time of the lynching of Berrier at Lexington "that the townspeople bit terly opposed and condemned it. It would be interesting to know whether they now adhere to their first faith, j If a atop can be put to Iynchings there will bea great step forward The Governor should, have full power to order special terms of court to try cap ital cases. The judges should be in vested with power todeny appeals. So many of the latter are frivolous as to greatly retard justice. In fact nine out of every ten of them are taken for that special purpose. The result of the matter is that not a few people have come to look upon trials, as long-delayed affairs, designed to defeat justice and uot to punish criminals. That is a plain statement of a plain fact. Your correspondent was chatting yesterday with a veteran newspaper man. The latter said: "The North Carolina Press Association was formed in 1650, at what point I do not know. It met at Tarboro in 1859. In 1S68 it was reorganized. It was called to meet at Raleigh that year by Capt. William Biggs, the very able, and influential editor of the Tarboro Southerner. The next year it met at New Bern. I re member that I attended that meeting. Since 1868 there has been a meeting each year. The press of the State ought'tb erect a monument to the mem ory of Capt. Biggs, who did so much to advance journalistic interests in North Carolina.. Mr. E. A. Oldham, . now of the Durham Globe, was the founder oL amateur; journalism in the State, and of the first association of that charac ter." I - a " Night before last burglars went to the house of Mrs. Edwards, in the southeastern part of N the city. They entered through a window, having taken an'axe from the yard and placed it where it would be ready for use in case they were crowded. Mrs. Edwards was awakened by a 1 ttle noise ard saw a burglar going through a bureau drawer in a few feet of her bed. She cried out, and the burglar saying "hush, wait a minute," at once fled. He got nothing, and left a $10 Confed erate bill on the floor near the window he had entered. He had evidently dropped the bill, as there was no money of that kind in the house. Not many people know that there is a large factory here which manufac tures trousers and trousers only and which turns out 200,000 pairs yearly. These garments are sold in twelve States as far South as Texas. The Boyle case is again brought be fore the public by the appeal which Col. T. C. Fuller, of counsel for the ex- priest, has made in Pennsylvania for money to pay the costs of the case, counsel fees, etc. The Roman Catho lics here have given nothing .and will give nothing. They have cut loose from Boyle entirely, it is said. Of course he has disgraced them and their little church, which has for years strug gled so hard to get a foothold. There has for sometime obeen a rumor, for which your correspondent does not at all vouch, that Roman Ca&holies else where were being called upon to con tribute money to the 44 Boyle fund," and that the Church " could not al low Boyle to be hanged. It is said that several ptotestants in Boyle's native county (Luzern) in Pennsylvania, have made answers to Col. Fuller's appeal, which he makes as Boyle s chief coun sel.

Chicago, Oct. 28. A local paper says the State has struck a new lead in the Cronin case against Martin Burke, through a young woman who was em ployed as telegraph operator at Han cock, Mich., last May. The State's Attorney has learned the identity of the tenders of the telegrams, which Burke received from that point. One of these telegrams, It is snd, was ad dressed to Burke at Joliet, telling him to get out quickly; another was ad dressed to Cooney at Chicago, telliog him to take some money to Burke at Joliet to assist the latter's flight; other telegrams were addressed to well known men in various Western towns along the route which Burke took on h's way to Canada. It was through a gak somewhere of these dispatches that Martin Burke's journey was in terrupted. In addition to the corres pondence between Burke and the Han cock parties, it is alleged that other communications passed, which serious ly compromise one or more of the men recently indicted on the charge of at tempted jury bribing on account of their attempt to defeat justice in an other direction. J Chicago, Oct. 28. At the opening of the Cronin trial this morning the State called for Mr. Cronin, brother of Dr. Cronin, but that gentleman was not in the room at that time and Napier Moreland, an employe of Patrick Di nan, liveryman, was called instead. He testified as to the facts of thie hiring of a white horse on the evening of the 4th of May when Dr. Cronin was killed. His evidence did not differ materially from that given by Dinan himself on Saturday either as to the taking out f the horse or his description of tb;e man. a now point was reached how ever when he described the condition of the horse when returned to the sta ble about 9:30 o'clock that night, after having been out a little over two hours. The witness said: He was in the con dition of a horse that had been drove n Very fast for the length of time he was out; his "nostrils were blowing at the time he came in and the buggy was covered with sand and boulevard mud." Mrs. Conklin, at whose house Cronin last lived, was the next witness. After numerous questions as to location of rcons in the flat, Mrs. Conklin pro ceeded to tell the story of how the Doctor was called away from her house on the night of May 4th. She said that at 7:20 o'clock p. m. a stranger, who seemed nervous and excited, rang the door bell and when she opened the; door inquired for Dr. Cronin. Hat seomed very reluctant to enter, but didj so when told the Doctor was engaged with other patients. The stranger then took a se-it in the waiting room. Whet, Dr. Cronin came out of his office ther man advanced and said: 44Doctor Cronin you are wanted to attend a man who has been hurt at Sullivan's Ice Company; the Doctor made a remark which I did not hear. At that moment th- -man rew a card from hi p0Cket and handed itr to the doctor. Dr. Cronin took the card ana said, 4'Oh yes; what is the nature of the accident V" He said t "The man has been run over by a wagon." The Doc tor said, "I will be with you soon,77 or something to that effect. The man sat down again on the edge of his chair and the Doctor turned, laying the card on the mantlepiece. The man said O'Sullivan was out of townand left word that Cronin was to attend his. men. Dr. Cronin ran to his private room and gathered tosrether some bandages and cotton bat tin He brought it out with his surgical case and case of splints. Then drawing on his coat as quickly as possible, he leu, running out and carrying the things and case in his arms. The two went hurriedly out of the house as fast as they could and did not even shut the door. I heard them running dc wn the stairs." The witness continued her testimony saying that she then went to the win dow overlooking the street and saw the bJggy with a white horse fat tache'd standing before the door. Dr. Cronin and the man who called for him grot into the buggy, which was then driven Northward. The man seemed anxious to eret awav. She srave a de scription of the man- who came for the Doctor: told the story of the proeeed- insrs of the day after Cronin's disap: neirance. and was cross-examined at great length by Mr. Forrest.

Seaator Ransom's Address Es President Iart Portrtt-Sa!m Academy T--ftsts Doad Aeeptaaces Senator Bar bour Is Con Ud rut of DetasrrsUe oe Mahene and Clarksoa tn Conference 4 Contract for CruUers Awarded. Washington, Oct. Special. I understand that Senator Ransom se cured the promise of the. President that the Marine Band should go to Fayetteville. The Secretary of the Navy was therefore, perhaps as much surprised as anybody else when he found out the band was to go. General Ransom is a host in himself when be determines to accomplish anything and I will guarantee no other town the size of Fayetteville in this country ever secured this splendid band for any oc casion of similar importance. The Marine Band, led by Prof. Sousa, splendidly uniformed as it is, will prove quite an attraction to our people. This is one more evidence of the supe rior tact and great influence of our dis tinguished senior Senator, whose silver-tongued oratory will charm even more on that notable occasion than the combined harmonies of - the famous band, whose services he has secured. He has been preparing his speech sev eral weeks, and he told me recently that there was much in the colonial history of our State which he weuld endeavor to memorialize on that day. He spoke, in this connection, in high terms of the recent work of Col. Wm. L. Saunders in this direction, as of others who had endeavored to save from oblivion the brave acts of our forefathers. The speech will be a masterpiece, and neither the presence of Hon. Jefferson Davis, nor the blare of trumpets, will lessen the delight his well rounded sentences, his words of wisdom and learning, his splendid presence, his rich, deep voice will srive the audience who know and love him for all he has done for his and their native State. Speaking of Mr. Davis, I saw a very fine portrait of him, in the ante-room of Secretary Proctor last week. It was painted, I presume, when he was Sec retary of War, and was one of those of the many distinguished men who have' held that portfolio since the foundation of the republic. Near Mr; Davis's por trait was one of Mr. Staunton. A party of young ladies from the Salem Academy are coming northward on a sight-seeing tour next week. They will arrive in this city Monday eve ning and will visit the capitol, the Smithsonian and National Museum, the Art Gallery and Botanical "Gardens, before, leaving Washington. Reyv-'J. W. Cle well, the young President of the old academy, was here recently. He is a man of progressive Ideas and be lieves innewmethoas. He is pushing the school in every way. He has the reputation of being a very accomplish ed gentleman. .uiong recent callers at the wmu? House was Col. William Johnston, of, Charlotte, who was introduced by Mr. S. F. Phillips. Washington, Oct. 28. Bond accep tances to-day amounted to $87,250. Senator John S. Barbour furnishes for publication a statement emphatic ally denying that he complainea of Chairman Brice, of the Democratic National Committee, with reference to the Virginia campaign; and be adds, concerning other published rumors: 44It is also untrue that I have expressed apprehension as to the result of the Virginia election on the contrary, I have never known the Democratic party to be better organized and equip ped for a hght and I am confident that, with an honest delivery of votes, the result will be a decisive victory for the Democrats." Washington, Oct. 28. Secretary Tracy this afternoon awarded the con tract for building two of the 2,000 ton cruisers, proposals lor which were opened Saturday, to the Columbian Iron V orks and Dry Dock Company, of Baltimore, for the sum of $1,255,000. The contract for the third one will be awarded to either Harrison Loring, of Boston, or N. F. Palmer & Company, .of New York, each of whom bid $674,- 000. , Washington, Oct. 2S. General Mahone and Judge Waddill made a fly injr visit to Washington to-day. They were joined by General Dudley and assistant Postmaster General Clarkson with whom they held a conference.

Haley and McCoy are natives of Ken tucky, and are allied to the McCoy fac tion of outlaws whoso murderous feud with the Hatfield is geuerally familiar to the public. McCov was enVarod in a shooting scrape with Parts Brum- field, of Lincoln county, about a year f ago, and about a month ago he, in com pany with Haley, ambushed and at tempted to murder Al Brumfield and his wife. This shooting occurred on a Sunday night, and both tho victims were badly wounded, Mrs. Brumfield being shot in the bxvast and her hus band in the leg. For a time it ;was thought the woman would die, butho finally recovered. McCoy and Haley escaped to Ken tucky, but not until therw had been two more attempts at assassination in the county, in one of which a man named Adkins, a friend of the Brumfiejda, was wounded.

Chicago, Oct. 23. A dispatch from Port Huron, Mich., says that not less than 75.000 Michigan farmers have ioined the Patrons of Husbandry since last May and the number is increasing every week. They threaten to become the controlling power iu the politics of the State and then to spread over the entire country. Tho Patrons claim to have been, forced into being by monop olies and trusts, and they propose to organize a combination that will strike terror, to the hearts of their enemies. At present tho Patrons are devotiug themselves exclusively to Hhe mer chants, and, in every town whero thy have a foothold, they enter into an iron clad contract with one dealer in each lino of trade to purchase only from him, exacting a pledge that they shall-.not be charged to exceed "12 per cent, advance on wholesale prices. The Patrons have lodges in forty-seven counties, Kent leading with a member ship of more-than 5,000. Their general otllces.aro located in this city and Rev. F. W. Verbercan, an old time Pre&by terian preacher, is supreme president. In February the State Convention will be held at Flint; the." year following there will bo a jgatbering f rom all over the country at Lansing.

The people were all asleep and the fire had gained great headway before It was discovered. . When the fire alarm was finally sounded and engines had responded, the water plugs for some time did not furnish sufficient pressure to reach the highestpoints where the fire was raging. A brisk wind was blowing and the flames spread with great rapidity. In a short while the entire block was in flames. The fire was communicated to Gill's Hotel which was filled with cruests at the time. By great exertion the guest were aroused wline the building was in flames and ajl fortunately made their escape, some barely getting out in safe ty in their night clothes.
