THE FIRE THIS"? MORNINQ.
Two Houses In East Greensboro De
stroyed. $345 Burned.
Two houses in East Greensboro, be
longing to a colored man ware destroy
ed bv tire between 4 and 5 o'clock thi9
morn'ng. The better of the two houses
was occupied by Murphy's family and
the smaller was rented. When the
ire was discovered this morning both
houses which almost joined together,
were on fire and Murphy says his fam
ily barely escaped with their lives. He
says he had three hundred and forty
five dollars ($345) in bills burned and
all his furniture except a few pieces
in the room where he slept.
Oni of the night policemen saw the
blaze and turned in the alarm from
box 42, at least a mile from the fire.
This confused the firemen, but they
were soon started in the right direction.
The whole department, except the en
gine res onded to the alarm at once.
The houses were situated far from the
nearest water plug however and the
firemen could only sit on their wagon
and look at the tire from a distance.
Murphy runs a store on East Mar
ket street and owns his store-house.
He is an industrious and prosperous
negro and saves what he makes. His
store was broken into last night and
several dollars worth of meat, lard,
coffee and other groceries taken. In
gress was made from a rear window
which the thief, or thieves, brokejopen.
Murphy says his loss is fully nine hun
dred dollars, with but three hundred
dollars insurance on one dwelling.
A coop of chickens near the house
were burned.
Murphy is the man who was charged
with burning the store of a colored
man named Jones, on East Market
street, some months ago. but came out
clear in the trial.
ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Charlie Roberson and Leslie Allen
Forge Robt. Allen's Name.
Charlie Roberson and Leslie Allen
are in jail today charged with forgery.
Yesterday while drinking they forged
the name of Leslie's father. Robert
Allen to a check for the amount oj five
dollars and had the check cashed at
J. W. Scott & Co';. Soon after
Messrs. Scott & Co. got the check they
discovered that it was bogus and in
formed the police of the matter. The
night police searched all night for the
forgers and during the night Otlieer
Scott landed Roberson in jail. Mr.
Scott remained on duty this morning
and assisted by Officers Jordan and
Jeffries of the day force found Allen
about 7:30 o'clock. Allen went into
Coble's bar on the corner of South
Elm and Fayetteville streets and tli
cer Jordon guarded the place until the
other two officers came up, when Officer
Scott went in and d Allen.
Roberson is a man of bad reputa
tion and has been arrested several
times before on different charges.
Allen is a young man about twenty
years old and though his character
was not considered good haJjieve!

Not So Bad As Expected.
A pool of blood was found near the
Southern railroadiraek. near the Lind
say street crossing, and those who saw
it feared that some one had been killed
by a train during the night. Officer
Weatherly followed a trail of blood
up the track, thinking the unfortunate
had been carried off on the cowcatcher.
He had gone about a mile when he was
told by the section master that the de
ceased was a little pup, and that he
had carried him out of town on his
car, leaving the trail of blood on the
track. The dog had been killed by
the early vestibule from the north,
which has a way of not stopping for
small matters.
High Point Speaking Postponed.
We are requested to state that on
account of a .previously arranged flag
raising by the graded schools of High
Point the appointment which was

probably the only opportunity our
High Point'friends would have had to
hiar this most fervent, eloquent and
logical speaker.

THE FUSIONISTS GIVE UP
All Attempts to Carry the State
On the Issues
RESORT TO PURE FABRICATION
Trying to Deceive the People By At
tributing Lying Statements to
Simmons, Aycock and Jarvls.
Chairman Simrrons said to a repor
ter yesterday evening that Colonel
Olds had just handed bim a secret cir
cular sent out, he presumed, by the
fusionists, for it is not signed by any
one, charging that he, Chairman Sim
mons, said in a speech at the congres
sional convention in Wilkesboro,
August 18th : "The democrats favor
the passage of an election law similar
to the one in Mississippi and South
Carolina, and would pass it if they se
cured the legislature."
Mr. Simmons said he had never seen
or heard of the circular before yester
day, and that the charge that he made
any such statement as that attributed
to him in the circular was in every re
spect and particular false and without
the slighest foundation in fact. He
said he not only did not make any such
statement in his speech at WilkesborO
on the 18th of August, but that he did
not in that speech even mention the
subject of suffrage or in any wise men
tion or discuss the election laws of

North Carolina, Mississippi or South .
Carolina, present, past or contempla- ,
ted, and that the 400 people who heard
him on that occasion, with the possi- 1
ble exception of a few republicans sent
there for the purpose of misrepresent- I
ing him and to report him as saying ;
what he did not say, for political pur-
poses, would contirm and corroborate
his statement. The charge that he
made sach a statement was, he said, a
miserable bald faced falsehood.
Continuing, he said this same circu
lar charges that Jarvis, Aycock, Wat- :
son , Overman, Pou, Craig, Kitchin,
and several other democrats had said
in their speeches at the democratic ral
lies on the 3d of August, substantially ;
the same thing. He is charged in the i
circular with having said this at j
Wilkesboro, and the circular says that
they were so reported in democratic
newspapers on August 4th.
Mr. Simmons said this statement was
also utterly false and without founda- I
tion in fact. That these distinguished
gentlemen had made no such statement
in their speeches on the 3rd of August
or at any other time, nor had they
been reported in democratic newspa
pers as having made any such state
ments on the 3rd day of August or any
other time.
Mr. Simmons further said that the
fusionists seening themselves beatenj
on the issues before the people and un
able to answer to an outraged and in
dignant public for their short-comings
and misdeeds, corruption and incom
petence and mal administration had,
in the vain hope of deceiving the peo
ple and diverting attention from their
shameful record, resorted to the most
unscrupulous and consciousless false
hoods, slanders and mis-r2presenta-tion
known in the annals of political
campaigning. Emphatically , said Mr.
Simmons, the people will put the seal
of their disapprobation upon these
wretched methods of the fusionists by
an overwhelming vote of rebuke in
November. Verily, said he, these
people seem to think they can carry
the state by falsification. News and
