SUPPRESSING INFORMATION.
Key West, March 2 The fact is be
coming evident as the days pass that
information - direct from members of
the United -States cour of inquiry into
the loss of the Maine from those ap-
pearing before it is guarded with un
usual closeness. Practically b infor
mation presented to the court has been
disclosed. The restrictions are so se
vere that communications between naval
men who have been before the court
are also most guarded. Naval officers
not connected with the court express
the view the very little testimony has
been, heard tending to show that the
explosion was the result of a con
spiracy or even to indicate the exact
cause of the disaster '
A STATEMENT IN COURT.
Judge Robinson Explains a Misunder
standing of Yesterday.
. When court opened this morning
Judge Robinson said he wished to make
a statement in reference to the misun
derstanding 6n yesterday between Maj.
Stedman and himself; that he could not
and would not allow any misunder
standing between Maj.' Stedman and
himself; that he never intendetkto be
discourteous to any membef of the bar
and certainly he would not be to Maj.
Stedman, who has been a friend to him
from his boyhood; that his view of the
matter was that after- he had made a
ruling it was the province of the oth
er, side to except and decide the matter
in the supreme court, but that no mis
understanding could or should exist
betweea Maj. Stedman and himself.
Maj. Stedman said he had always
endeavored to uphold JudgeRobinson,
as. he would learn from those with whom
he associated intimately Mr. King
Mr. Scott, Judge Schenck, Mr. Bar
ringer and others that he considered
that the attorneys of the Southern
railway company had mede an unjust
and unfair attack upon his client and
that he had a -legal right in reply to
criticise thejnethods of that company;
that he considered the manner and
words of His Honor discourteous at the
time to him personally ,-and that he
could not quietly acquiesce in it, and
that besides, he thought it had a tend
ency lo injure his" client; that he ac-
cepteii the statement .ot-the court in the
spirit in which it was tendered.
This was offered in -reference to an
incident yesterday when the judge pre-
oiVHnrr VnTannfilv ordered .Mai. Sted-
DlUlUg 1 m - - ' - -
man to desist from arguing a "point
rartinent to the trial in progress. Maj.

JOHN H. FERREE DEAD.
He Was One ot Randolph County's
Leading Citizens.
One of the most-prominent and pub
lic spirited citizens, of this section bi
North Carolina, John H. Ferree, died
at his home in Randleman, -yesterday
afternoon at four o'clock-The funeral
services will be conducted Co-morrow
morning at 11 o'clock from, the; Ran
dleman Methodist Church, of which he
was the leading member. Frm the
News and Observer's special in regard
to-the death of Mr. Ferree we clipthe
following t " " ""
Mr. Ferree was a native xf. Morgan
ton, Burke county, and moved to Ran
dleman in 1872. He formed a partner
ship with the late John H. Randleman.
Their combined capital at that time
-.a uui exceed 110,000." They bought
the old Union Mills, Organized the
Randleman Manufacturing Company,
and it is said that this ten -thousand
dollars is the only original money in
vested in Randleman cotton factories.
The five cotton" mills now running
fthere, with a combined capitalization.
of $400,000 are the result of this
original investment.
Mr. Ferree continued to be secretary
and treasurer of tEe Randleman Manu
facturing Company up to the time of
his death. But it was only one of five.
factories-with which he was connected.
He was president and a leading stock
holder of the Naomi Mills, Plaid ville
Mills, Powhatan and Mary Antoinette
Mills. He was a careful and indust
rious business man and a success in
all his business ventures.
Mr. Ferree wa9 an active memberof
the Methodist. Church. . He was the
chief contributor to the building of the
handsome brick Methodist Church at
this place, one of the half dozen rich
Methodists who purchased Greensboro
Female College some years ago, and" a
trustee of Trinity College.
Randleman is in mourning for the
loss of its leading citizen.
PENITENTIARY FLOUR MILL.

By Wire to The Telegram.
Albany, March 2 The establishment
of a flour .mill in Auburn penitentiary
wherein can be madeihe hundred thous
and barrels of flour consumed annual-
J4? by 016 state institutions, is recom
mended in the report today submitted
by the senate committee on penal insti
tutions. This committee was authorized by
the last senate to investigate the oper
ation of the new prison labor system
whereby a Hifcles" needed by the state
departments and institutions and by
the civil divisions of the state are now

Butler Flies His Charges.
Washington, Mar. 1 Senator But
ler, of North Carolina Joday filed the
charges formulated by him against H.
G. Ewart, who has been nominated by
the President for the office of district
judge of the western North Carolina
district. It is understood that Mr.
Butler charges that Mr. Ewart is un
fitted for a judicial office, because of a
lack of legal attainments, and is of
wrong temperament. The committee
on the judiciary will make a thorough
investigation, and to this end will
probably summon several witnesses
from North Carolina.
Long on the Situation.
After the cabinet meeting yesterday
Secretary Long said unofficially tothe
representatives of the press:
"The main thfhgs we talked about
in the cabinet were the outrages onthe
postmasters, one white man in Georgia
and one a colored man in South Car
lina. In regard to the Cuban question, we
think things are growing quieter every
day and as far as my judgment went
I was inclined to think that any offi
cial participation on the part of the
Spanish government in the disaster
was now practically eliminated."

A STRAN6E CRlflE.,
An Old Man and His Son Found Dead
In a Cave.
A Morganton special to the Char
lotte Observer says:
Considerable excitement was caused
here today by a report that an old
man and a boy were found hanged in
a cave in the mountains near Table
Rock, twelve miles west of here. About
three weeks ago an old man and a
small boy moved inter the settlement
near Table Rock, and occupied a
small cabin at the foot of the moun
tain. ' On being questioned by some of
the mountain people the old man said
that he had married an Indian squaw
in the western part of the State, and
that the boy with him was the product
of that union. He had some trouble
with the Indians, and -was driven out
of the Indian nation, and bringing the
boy with him, settled here in Burke.
This is practically all that is known
of them.
Yesterday morning a mountaineer
named Branch found the bodies of the
old man and the child in a cave near
their cabin, dead, with ropes about
their neck9, evidently having died
from the effects of strangulation.
Whether it is murder or suicide, is not
known.
James Is Satisfied.

Jim Young spoke freely . as to the
cause of the suspension of the paper
to a Post reporter yesterday. He said:
"I have sunk $1,000 of my own

WHEN A PARSON CALLS EARLY.
Finds Women Looking Stale Because
They Had Played Cards.
New Brunswick. March 1. The
members of the Pitman Methodist Ep
iscopal Church, which is one of the
most active socially in town, are in a
state of mind because their pastor, the
Rev. George H. Neal, in a sermon last
evening told his people that card play
ing is inconsistent with spiritual life
&nd those who engage in it are not
fit to be active church workers. Mr.
Neal said: "I have called at houses
in the' morning where . the women had
an awfully stale look on their faces.
When I inquired if they were ill, they
replied that they had only been play
ing cards. until 2 A.M. " My experience
in four -churches has taught me that
progressive euchre is a dissipation.
Cards have a' past that is black
with evil, and Christian people ought
to wash their' hands of things to be
found in the low gambling dens,
brothels, gilded saloons, and other
places of vice.
"According to the statistics of Ant
hony Comstock, in the year 1890, 128
people had been shot or stabbed over
the gambling table, six had attempted
suicide, and 60 had been murdered as
the result of he influence of cards.
Cards had also caused the defalcation
of $2,900,372 dnring the same year."
Slain With a Hat Pin.
Chicago, March 1 A woman's hat
pin was the weapon with which Barth
olomew Brant Brander, the Parisian
drummer, who died at the Palmer
House, was mysteriously murdered.
The autopsy shows not only concus
sion of the brain, but a small punct
ure which began hear the corner of
the left eye and extended far into the
interior of the skull. It was not of
greater diameter than the lead in a
pencil.
In a rational interview shortly be
fore he died Brander told the doctor
that he had entered a saloon and had
taken adrink and remembered noth
ing more.
The detectives are following sever
al clues that may help solve the mys
tery.
Silver Purchases and Silver Coinage.
Washington, ijarch 2. In' response

London, March .1. The Globe, of

situation, says: 1 "Nothing could be
more promising that the present rela

Woodford's words 'Peace for
ever,' are hailed with delight. Senor
Sagasta the cabinet ministers and
General Woodford all make such ex
plicitly peaceful statements that peace
may be regarded as assured. This" is
all the more satisfactory, since the late
events 11 pointed to a different issue."
