C Their 8aecessors Appointed and Instruct ed to Bring Salt for the QjBlces Case to go to FederalSupreme Court "Surprise of Qof the Appointees The Parties Inters viewed (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, . N. C, September 23. Late this afternoon Governor Russell sent the following letter to Chairman James W. Wilson, of the railway commission: "Take notice that after due investi gation and consideration, I am con vinced you have violated the railway commission law in some of the partic ulars mentioned in my letter to you" of August 24th, and that you have not only violated the said act in the specl-r fications set out, but that you have otherwise," within its meaning and igs teht and words, become disqualified to j act. '. ' - - . , - "Now, therefore, in obedience to the duty imposed upon me byid act, I do hereby suspend you from the office of railway commissioner and chairman of said commissioners,' such suspen sion to continue until the question of your removal or restoration shall- 'be determined by a vote of 'the legislature in joint session. The fact of your sus pension together with reasons therefor and evidence, documents and informa tion, connected therewith will be re ported to the next legislature. You will further take notice that under, and 'by virtue of the power conferred and duties imposed upon the chief execu tive, I have appointed L. C. Caldwell, of Iredell, to fili the vacancy caused by your suspension. Inasmuch as you are understood to deny the power of the executive to suspend you from office, as provided by statute, I have request ed Mr. Caldwell to make 'demand oh you for possession of the office, and upon your refusal, to bring action therefor to the end that the title. to the office may be judicially determined." A letter similar to this was sent Com missioner Otho Wilson," informing him of his suspension and of the appoint ment of John H. Pearson, of Morgan- ton. The latter is a democrat' and as a . member of legislature at its last session he-, vehemently opposed the ninety-nine year lease of the North Carolina railway. Caldwell is a Butler populist and it is easy to see the hand of Senator Butler in hie appointment. The matter now goes into the courts, the present commissioners J. W. Wil son, Otho Wilson and Dr. D. H. Abbott meanwhile continuing in office. Tonight John H, Pearson was inter viewed. He said: "James C' McRae is my attorney. Tomorrow morning I will take the .oath before Judge Mont gomery and will then make. formal de mand on Otho Wilson for the office. I will bring suit in Wake superior court beginning October 24th. There will, of course be an appeal to the supreme court, and the latter will advance the case. This position came to me entire ly unsolicited. I think the interests of the state' can be served without op pressing railway corporations in the least." L. C. Caldwell left tonight for States ville and will tomorrow take the oath before Judge Furches,. then he will to Morganton and make, demand on Major Wilson for the office. . Otho Wilson was interviewed tonight. He said: "J. C. L". Harris is my attor ney. I have sent Mr. Pearson my con gratulations and will give him wel come when he comes tomorrow. I feel that so far as I am concerned I'have done nothing I am afraid for the world to" know, and I have no fears. There are legal tribunals to appeal to and I have no doubt as to the result. When ever my integrity is . attacked - from whatever source or motives, 'I shall de fend - if. There is no question as ; to our having all the powers and rights of a court until the courts decide: against us. Not only a state question, but a federal constitutional one is involved, and hence there is a right of appeal to the United States supreme court undjr the fourteenth amendment." Commissioner Abbott was with Otho Wilson. He was asked Ills-view of the matter and replied with a placid smile: "I have not a word .to say. You said enough today -about my position." Then he added with -another smile: "There is working ahead for some body', j It is Uearned that W. W. Clark, of New Bern; is Abbott's attorney, and advised him to pay no heed to the gov ernor's effort to suspend Commissionr ers Wilson. L. C- Caldwell was interviewed and said; "This office is as. unexpected to me as to anybody "else. The governor had not spoken a word about it until he sent for me day before yesterday. Tw w .ks ttern he anoke about the enmmla- ti k and also about the North Carolina railway lease, I am opposed to that lease In its present condition, but T am no enemy to railways, ' in the proper sens I have not yet investigated the matter as to whether I can get in as a commissioner. I will look into that jyhen I get home. Pearson came here on the same train with me. Neither ot us knew what was going to nappen. I expected John Graham to be appointed, atl was he populist caucus nominee. Such things as my being commissioner never entered my head- Our 'commisr sions were.

" Last spring nearly every governor of this republic, at our request, backed by the legisla ture of his state,! spoke for Cuban in dependence. Many hundreds of thou-sands-of citizens, (responding to the ap peal of this league, have made It mani fest that public opinion is on the side of the Cuban insurgents and hostile to their oppressors, j Now the hour of emancipation : foj" Cuba is at hand. The commanding; voice of the nation has a,t last reached the executive. Though the delay has been much too long, still the retribution at hand will excuse past delinquency. Our minister in Spain, with a patriotic president be hind him, will do ithat which shall end the- murder, plunder and medieval ty ranny in Cuba, allowing its entry into" a sovereign state.! The nation is ready with guns if necessary. Every member of this league should be alert to uphold the president in such policy.

Public Printing Tangle Gets Worse Two Terrible Crimea lynchers Indicted Pen tentiary Too Much for the Republicans , - Messenger Bureau, Park Hotel, Raleigh, N.. C, September 23. Superintendent j Smith, of the peni tentiary, says ln jhis statement of ac counts, that he lias borrowed. $15,000 from the state to meet expenses. The last legislature made no appropriation contingent or otherwise, for the peni tentiary. Now the questioruis, how he got the money. I The state treasurer says it was advanced to him on his crop. The treasurer added that the act allows advances to be made to the amount of $25,000, and that the super intendent got first $10,000 and later $5,000 more. ' he- auditor's office 'it was said no warrant had. been Issued to Superintendent Smith- and that if any money had been drawn it was by Treasurer Worth Sunder the act of 1891. But there is no act of 1897 making any appropriation. Mr. Tyson, of Knoxville, is here to settle some important questions as to the boundary between this state and Tennessee, which involves 150,000 acres of land owned by , the Beldings, of Cin cinnati. ' ; Dr. R. H. Lewis, secretary of the state board of health, writes Governor Russell that in his opinion it would be extremely unwise to throw open the mountain plateau of western Norfh Carolina to yellow fever refugees; the trouble being that it would be practK cally impossible to detain refugees there long enough to prove they were not infected and hence be a distinct risk of going to certain localities sus ceptable to the disease,, notably Wil mington. It is safe to say the moun tains will not be thrown open as Dr. John Hey WiHiams, of Asheville, sug gested, -j-,. ' j! W. N. Hall, a clerk in the office of the bureau .of labor statistics, says he will sue Dr. John McBrayer, a leading re publican, of Shelby, for $10,000 for libel, this growing-out of the great quarrel about the Shelby postoffice. Renewed efforts are now being made to get an army post located here. Offi cers say that with proper ; effort one would already be here. 1.

The organ of the Methodist Episcopal church hits the 'jdivine healer" who is now with Evangelist Bill Fife, quite a rap. f Rain, so long wished for, fell here last night and today; and the six weeks' drought is broken. It was a Pritchard republican who gave out the news -here that Charles A, Cook was sure to get the United StaTea district attorneyship. . The colored Baptist State Sunday School Association at Louisburg' is very largely attended. St. Mary's school here opened today, under the auspices of the three Epis copal dioceses. ; The number of students actually present at the university is now 450, This breaks even the ante-bellum rec ord. ? The republicans find they cannot manage the penitentiary and so they are resorting to ; the cowardly tactics of trying to say that the late democrat ic administration! did not make jit self supporting; -but ex-Superintendent Lea zar proved that fact. North Carolina republicans are join ing anti-civil service clubs At the same time they are crowding into civil service examinations. M. J. Edwardsj of Raleigh gets $7, 000 damages from Dr. J. J.

Stafford,. who played on the Wake Forest and Oak Ridge base b,ll teams, is now first baseman of the St. Louis team, ; . A letter from'-;Hendersonvme says that the grand jury has found true bills against many of the lynchers of Bob. Brackett in Buncombe. The names are, by order of Judge Ewart, kept secret until papers are served. It is said there is much excitement, and that some Buncombe people have fled the state. Among today's arrivals here was John S. Armstrong, of Wilmington, who had a talk with Governor Russell. The state is in a nice fix, so far as the ex-public printers, Stewart Bros., are concerned. The latter claim they are still the public printers. They ev idently intend to sue the state. The latter has already sued them. It is, as a rule, hard to get populists or republi cans to say much against ieach other, but yet the officials say ' the case against the Stewarts is a bad one. The Stewarts refuse to give up the state pa perat least $5,000 worth, the auditor says. The relations between them and the populists are clearly greatly strained. Georgia Is to have a penal colony for the old and the young convicts and the wonien on one of the sea islands. North Carolina's convicts are yei a problem.

Viewed from various standpoints, today's proceed ings in the Luetgert murder trial were the most remarkable that have occur red within three weeks, j ,In the face 'of -the sensational circumstantial evi dence which goes to prove that Mrs. Louise Luetgert met death in her hus band's sausage factory on May 1st, three witnesses testified . today that they saw the woman alive on May 3rd and 4th. One of these witnesses talk ed to her and believed from a descrip tion and a photograph of Mrs. Luetgert that the woman he saw, was Mrs. Luetgert This witness was Matt. J. Sholey, a barkeeper at the Hotel Ma ple, Kenosha, Wis. He said he saw a strange woman at the hotel on the evr enlng of May 3rd. He talked with her nearly ten minutes. She asked to be directed to the farm of I one Mueller, in the ' neighborhood, but as no one seemed to know of such person, the woman left. On the following day Sho-lejc- again saw the woman. He de scribed her general appearance and clothing and identified a photograph of Mrs. Luetgert as the woman he saw. On cross examination by State's At torney Deneen, Witness Sholey at first fixed the weight of the woman he saw at 130 or 140 pounds. Then he hesitated said he had got mixed tip and re marked that the woman weighed 115 to 118 pounds, which was about Mrs. Luetgert's weight. This hesitation and correction was made much of by the prosecution which intimated that "it indicated that Sholey had forgotten the weight that 'had been probably told him at first. " x Policeman Henry Feldshaw, of Ken osha, Wis., testified that he sawn a strange woman In the police station of his town on May 3rd. Thq witness said he afterwards saw the woman at the Hotel Maple and the following day at the railway station. He described the woman as a blonde and paid she wore a sailor hat and slippers.' One of the slippers she had worn was found in the police station after she had left. The witness Identified the picture of Mrs. Luetgert as closely resembling J me wuuian ne saw. William J. Grunsten, a I clerk in the Grant hotel, Kenosha, identified the photograph as the picture of a woman he saw in his hotel on May 3rd. He said she came into the hotel and re mained ten minutes. He described the woman and corroborated the evidence of the other witnesses. North Carolina I A special to, The Sun from Raleigh yesterday ; gave some interesting fig ures touching the industrial and other development in that state.j The figures are i instructive, avd show a growth which' will at once be surprising and gratifying to the friends of progress in the south. The fact that North Car olina is one of the leading cotton' man ufacturing states in -the south is gen erally Known, but it is not so well known that it is rapidly forging ahead In the shipment of lumber, and that the eastern section of the state is be coming a vast trucking region, from which excellent results are obtained. Western North Carolina is now the largest producer of tobacco used in the manufacture of the highest grades of chewing and smoking tobacco. In his recent address In Winchester Va., Rev. Mr.. Avirett showed how grandly North Carolina showed up in the num ber and courage of its soldiers during the late civil war. The Sun's i " correspondent shows that in peace, as in war. the motto of the Old North State is "Forward," with results which promise to make her a prosperous and wealthy state.
