FUNERAL OF MR. TROY.
A Good flan Laid to Rest Attests,
tlons of Esteem.
Yesterday afternoon at five o'clock
another sad funeral occasion was par
ticipated In at West Market street
church, the funeral of Rev. R. P.
Troy, whose death was noticed in
these columns Saturday aftenoon.
The attendance was estimated at about
a thousand, showing the high esteem
in which deceased was held.
Tbfuneral services were conducted
bythe Pastor, Rev. Dr. Howe, assisted
by Rev. Dr. L. W. Crawford, Rev.
T. A, Smoot, Rev. Dr. E. W. Smith
of the Presbyterian chnrch, Rev. J.
R. Jones of the Friends church, all of
these ministers, representing four
denominations, taking part. Dr.
Rowe read as a text "For he was a
good man." These words were es
pecially appropriate in Mr. Troy's
case. The words "he was a good
man" were the most natural that fell
from the lips of any who knew him
when they learned of his death.
Rev. J. R. Jones made a few appro
priate and touching remarks, telling
of his helpful association with Mr.
Troy, and their agreement made some
years ago that on the death of either
of them the other should attend his
funeral.
Rev. R. P. Troy was a brave cap
tain in the Confederate army. After
the war he engaged in teaching .as a
profession, and many of his old stu
dents were present at his funeral In
883 he joined the conference, having
been a local minister for some years.
He went from the pastorate of Little
ton circuit to the presidency of Mur-
reesboro Female college, which
position, he held until the college was
destroyed by fire. He wa particular-
y powerful in protracted meetings
and under his ministry "much people
was added unto the Lord."
Two or three years ago he was
Btricken with paralysis and since that
time has not been able to engage in
active work though the fire still burn
ed in his heart, and he has preached
number of tines His wife was Miss
Ella Bumpass, daughter of the sainted
Aunt F. M. Bumpass, and a sister of
Rev. R. F. Bumpass, presidt- g elder of
the -WlTmlngton district. Six child
ren and his devoted wife survive him,
one son, Melville P. Troy, being now
nCuba, in the army service.
Mr. Troy was one of a family of
ten children, seven of whom are liv-
ng and all were at the funeral except
ODe brother living in Tennessee.
We might write columns about Mr.
Troy's many beautiful and shining
virtues, and not tell half. His friends
already krow them better than our
feble pen can describe them.
"He was a good man."
No higher or more deserved tribute
can be paid to any mm.
In Greene Hill cemetery his tired
body will rest until the final morn in
the time of the resurrection, and lov
ing eyes will watch hisjjrave and tire
less hands will keep it green while the
memory of his holy and consecrated
life will live to bless thousands who
have known him and who will never,
perhaps, see his last resting place.
Peace to' his precious ashes.
Death of nr. N. A. Jeffries.
The death of Mr. N. A Jeffries oc
curred at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing at his home, corner Walker ave
nue and Mendenhall street. Mr. Jef
fries had been suffering for several
weeks with acute dysentery, growing
gradually weaker from day to day.
tie was 09 years old and a nignly re
spected citizen. He was the father of
ten children, among whom are Police
man Jeffries, and MS. Jeffries and
Mrs. J. C. Montgomery.
The funeral services were conducted
at 4 o'clock this afternoon from the
late home and the remains interred in
Green Hill cemetery.

THOSE "SERIOUS CHARGES.'
Source of Information en .Which
Publication Was ilade.
In the itemih" this paper last Satur
day with reference to charges being
brought against Mr.S. L. Trogdon,
should have appeared that the in
formation was taken f om a Winston-
Salem special to the Raleigh Morning
Post. From the item referred to it
might be inferred that an investiga
tion was going on in Greensboro,
when ihe fact is there is .nothing of
the sort, and itOappears that there is
no foundation in fact for what has
been said. The last paragraph in
aid item was written by a reporter,
not from an interview with Mr. Trog
don, but from a statement made by
him in conversation with others. It is
useless to say that the Telegram had
no thought of doing Mr. Trogdon an
injustice or of publishing anything
that would in any way reflect on him
either in his official capacity or as a
private citizen, without giving the
source Of the information, and it is for
this reason that we refer to the matter.
n this issue.
It seems that the report comes from
Wilkes ceunty that certain notices
have been sent out by him in cases
that had been settled or nol prossed.
The report bears a lie on the face of
it when it says that "two women were
required to travel fifteen miles on a
capias charging that they failed to at
tend the last court," etc., when, as a
matter of fact, a capias is never is
sued for a witness. The editor of the
Telegram called 6n Mr. Trogdon to
day, and from the books it appears
that there are no female defendants in
cases from Wilkes in which capiases
have been issued. There is absolutely
nothing on the books to show that
Mr. Trogdon has been guilty of any
thing to warrant the publication of
such charges. Mr. Trogdon bears a
character among those who know him
best that is above the slightest suspi
cion, ard the Telegram believes there
is a grievous error here somewhere,
and thai w hen the matter has been in
vestigated it will be shown that he has
done nothing which was not in the line
of his duty and that was not fully
warranted. Again, we regret that
this paper should have given publicity
to the report without an emphatic
statement at the time that we believed
him entirely innocent of the charges
made against him.
THE ELM BEETLE
Appearing In Alarming Numbers
and
Devastating Trees.
The elm beetle, the insect mentioned
n the Telegram some time ago as
destroying a number of fine elm trees
n the city, continues its work of
devastation with an ever increasing
fury. The insects have laid bare the
imbs of a number of the most beauti
ful English elms in the northwestern
part of the city and have now taken
to the native elms and some of these
have also been stripped Of their
leaves.
Property owners who have these
desirable shade trees around their
residences, are becoming much wor
ried over the appearance of the pest
and it improbable tbat the board of
aldermen, at its next meeting, will be
petitioned to take some action to ex
terminate it.
The beetle increases in numbers
rapidly and unless stopped it is feared
that all elm trees in the city will be
ruined.
Crash, Bang, Zip.
The zip was when the fly stiUng the
horse, the bang was when the horse
fired back at the dash board and lit
straddle the pole, the crash when the
horse after balancing himself on the
pole for a moment took a header and
went rolling over on his back in the
dust.
The above took place on the road to
the Battle Ground yesterday while
four young men were out driving, but
the fact that three of the younger ones
were dressed in new comfortable crash
suits, the casualties stopped with the
horse. Rankin, Chisholm, Stroud &
Rees handle the kind of crash that
these young folks were wearing. See
their ad today.
Mr. Sneed To Leave.
Mr. J. B. Sneed, special agent ior
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company of Newark,' N. J., laaves
tomorrow for Richmond, Va , which
place will in the future be his head
quarters. Mr. Sneed has been in
Greensboro for the past six years,
during which time he has been em
inently successful and has made many
friends, who regret exceedingly to see
him leave. His departure is made
necessary by the refusal of his com
pany to domesticate, in compliance
with the Oraig law passed by the last
legislature.

Carpenters are still at work in the
Greensboro dispensary and the place
is being fitted up very attractively.

THE GOOD ROADS FUND.
Subscriptions Should Not Stop The
Scheme Popular.
Tho good roads scheme - devised by
our progressive townman, Hj. f.
Wharton, seems to meet with favor
everywhere it is read. But are - the
people of Greensboro and Guildford
county working as they should to put
the scheme into practice.
Business man, citizen, farmer, you
should not neglect this as every
man in Guilford county will be bene
fitted by the making of good roads.
The Asheville Gazette of Saturday
contains the following :
Guilford county is going to have
good roads. Citizens and business
firms are joining the good roads club
organized at Greeensboro and signing
the following: ' We, the undersidned,
agree to subscribe the amount oppo
site our names fon each mile of road
to be macadamized outside of the city
limits in the coun;y of Guilford for
the first forty miles to be built, to be
paid to the c unty commission
ers as the work progresses.' The sub
scriptions at 15 a share for each mile
each share thus costing $200 now
lmounts to $6,600.
TROOPS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Manv Yet Remain Awaiting Trans
portation to the Philippines.
Washington, July 1 The war de
partment was advised today by Gen
eral Shafter that th3re were a number
of troops remaining in San Francisco
after the depart re of the Pennsylva
nia. General Shafter says there will
remain awaiting transportation to
Manilla headquarters and four com
panies of the Tweffty-fourth infantry,
consisting of foueen officers and 512
men; troops D andH, Fourth Cavalry,
consisting of five officers and 156 men,
and 2,891 recruits, with thirty-two offi
cers. The City of Para will take the
Twenty-fourth infantry and Fourth
cavalrv in addition to an engineer
company from New York. Re
garding the recruits General Shafter
reported 1,000 of the 2,891 are well
prepared for service. The balance, he
thinks should be kept for a short time
yet for drill and target practice to
make them more efficient for service in
the Philippines.
Strike at Homestead.
Pittsburg-. July 1 As a result of the
discharge of members of the Amalg a
mated Association by the Carnegie
Company, another strike was begun
today at the Homestead Steel Works
About 500 skilled workmen are out,
and both sides are playing a waiting
game. The town is quiet. The Car
Steel Comoanv furnished the
O - A "
following statement: " -
"With reference to a reported strike
last night at the Homestead Steel
Wnrks. it was stated in the office of
the Carnegie Steel Company this
morning that the mills we e running
full during the night and were run-
ninr nil this morning, and that none
of the employes left the works during
the night as was reported. A number
of workmen have been discharged, in-
nlndlnor a .committee which waited
upon Superintendent Corry yesterday
to request reinstatement of men pre
viously discharged for cause. The

TARS WILL CELEBRATE.
The Brooklyn to Remain Until After
Schley Victory Day Anniversary.
New York, July 1 Owing to the
amount ef publicity given to the re
port that the navy department would
order the Brooklyn to sea to forestall
the celebration of Schley day in
Brooklyn the department will allow
the cruiser to remain and the celebra
tion will take place. There was great
rejoicing among the men when it be
came known that there was to be , no
interference with the program for the
pcelebration, to which the tars have
subscribed several dollars each. There
is little doubtj however, that but for
the clamor that was made in Wash
ington over the reported order con
cerning the Brooklyn, the innocent
celebration by the tars would have
been prevented. No information is
being given out in the navy yard as to
the invitations received or declined. A
special from Washington says:
The official order promulgated today
at the instance of Secretary Long dis
poses finally of the plan conceived by
the enemies of Admiral Schley to pre
vent the third of July celebration of
the Brooklyn's crew, at which Admiral
Schley is to be guest of honor.
It is admitted today that orders
were prepared by Crowninshield di
recting the Brooklyn to jail for New
port July 2. As soon as the attention
of Secretary Long was directed to the
matter he cancelled the orders.
