Concord, N. C., May murder case of horrible details was reported in Concord this morning, having oc curred at the Miami mines, nine miles from here. Early last night, when Jack White, colored, murdered his five year-old child and came near killing his wife. White began his murderous assault on his wife, using a knife and slashing her fearfully about the head and neck. She ran to the home of her brother, and returning later,, found her little child dead, its throat having been slashed from ear to ear. 1 it has been thought for some time that White .was crazy and his people have been warned against leaving him free. Only a few days ago an officer passing through that community advis ed his people to have him locked up.

Fight Made by Anti- Saloon League Lost Columbus, 0., May 25.—The anti saloon league yesterday lost its fight against the report of the permanent temperance committee of the Presby terian Church because that body fa vored the Church temperance federa tion when the Pre ' vterian General Assembly without 'Renting voice, adopted the report "at committee. The leaeue, howevt "ired a com mendation and the Rt. ' \ R. Wor rell, of Pennsylvania, wno presented the report, declared that the Church had need of the league and had room for it and should divide money in the propagation of its work, but that the Church should be an entirely separate organization. The anti-saloon league opposed the permanent temperance committee and the Church temperance federa tion which is to follow, because they t claimed that these organizations were unnecessary and encroached on their work. They desired that the Church 1 send to them official representatives and make the anti-saloon league the voice of the Church thus having a power and influence in a moral way, while they would continue their ef forts in legislative manner. The Pres byterian Assembly, however, sets its foot upon an ecclesiastical representa tion in non-ecclesiastical bodies and will continue along its line of temper ance reform. The league, the Church declared, can do what it can legisla tively and the Church will do all in its power to aid it, but the Church will not ally itself to any non-ecclesiastical organization or to any political body. The Assembly decided to hold the next meeting in Kansas City, Mo. Western North Carolina Strong for Lock Craig tion of North Carolina was sounded in regard to its preference for the Governorships when Hon. W. T. Craw ford gave following interview to a News and C'iesrver representative ■ in Raleigh a few days ago: "The west is solid for Craig for Gov . ernor 'and proposes to do all that is possible to him nominated, for our people feel that the section is en titled to the nomination anfc that Craig is the man who should receive it. Mr. Craig has done more work for the party than has been done by any other man who has not received rec ognition for it. In every campaign he ( has answered the call of the party for service and he has done this in a vigrorous and earnest manner that has borne fruit, for he is a worker who never tires when he is doing things for the Democratic party and for North Carolina. "The solid west is behind him in the campaign and the people believe that now is the time to give him the honor which his services deserve. Mr. Craig is one of the ablest and most eloquent men in the State, and I feel certain that no man could make a more telling canvass for the party or more successfully present itf principles before the people. He is a man of wisdom and stands high in the regard of the people of all sections of the State. He would make a Governor who would measure up to the best chief executives that the State has ever had and I look forward to his triumphant nomination and election to the office of Governor. In honoring him the Democratic party will make no mistake and the west as a solid body asks that he be given the nomi nation that he deserves."

Noted Loving Case Richmond, Va., May 27. —The case of ex-Judge William G. Loving, charg ed with the murder of Theodore Estes, whom Judge Lovinfg accused of having j drugged and wronged hisyoung daugh- I ter, Elizabeth, while out driving, will becalled before the term of the Circuit j Court to convene in Nelson county to day.' Owing to the fact that the en tire county has been deeply stirred |by the sensational case it is likely ! that a change of venue will be asked • for, and if granted the trjal will proba bly be transferred to Petersburg or to this city. If current stories amount to anything the trial will prove one of j the biggest sensations ever recorded in 1 the judicial annals of Virginia. All of Nelson county appears to have arrayed itself on the one side or 1 the other of the famous case. Many openly uphold Judge Loving in carry ing out the unwritaen law, while oth-j ers are inclined to think he acted too hastily and blame him for not giving his victim a chance to explain, if any explanation were possible. It is reported that the trial will bring to light many startling things heretofore unknown and bearing di rectly upon the tragedy, among others that it will be shown that Estes, on at least two previous occasions, had made similar attempts to drug girls with li qucr. On one of these occasions, it is' said, the intended victim threatened to inform her father if Estes did not de sist in his prosecution, which threat had the desired effect. This young la dy, it is stated, will be placed on the witness stand by the defense. It is held that the production of evidence that Estes had on previous occasions offered these girls liquor, coupled with the fact that Judge Loving waited un til the day after the alleged occurrence and after both he and his wife had talked with their daughter before hunt ing for and killing Estes, will have weight in favor of the former jurist. The Estes family, on the other hand, are firm in their belief in the innocence of young Estes of the alleged wrong doing and are preparing to make a vigorous effort to convict Judge Lov ing«of the murder. The family has en gaged Daniel Harmon, of Charlottes ville, one of the ablest lawyers of the State, to assist in the prosecution. Judge Loving likewise has engaged em inent counsel in the persons of John L. Lee, cf Lynchburg, and R. Walton Moore, of Fairfax, who will assist Au brey E. Strode, the personal counsel of Judge Loving. Trial of "Black Hand" Has Sudden Termination New York, May 25. —The trial of the three alleged "Black Hand" men on a charge of murder in the first degree was abruptly terminated in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn yesterday. Rooco Pr.uagiro, cne cf the men, took the case, so far as he was concerned, frotn the earthly tribunal by com mitting suicide at the Raymond street pail by hanging. Immediately after the opening of court, Genaro Es posito, another of the trio, withdraw his plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty to murder in the second de gree. Then, upon the recommenda tions of District Attorney Clark, Francesco Como. who had been on trial jointly with the other two, was discharged from custody. The dis trict atorney said there was no evi dence to show that Como was di rectly concerned in the murder. ' The three men were charged with having killed Galtano Costa, a butcher, who was found shot and stabbed to death in his shop last Oc tober. Shortly before his death, Costa had received several letters demanding money and threatening death unless immediate payment was made.
