A Sad Story.
Colon nopuhllcaa.
Home time ago the Mercury pub
lished a true story of bow a well
dressed old lady drove to an old
negro woman's house in Greens
boro, leaving a female infant a week
old, plenty of clothing, (100 in
money, and telling the old negro to
care for it. The mystery has been
solved. The mother of the child is
a fourteen year-old girl in Kaleigh
of a good family. The young moth
er did not want to give it np but
her parents aud friends could not
bear the thought of her keeping it
and the public learning of it. 80
clothing for it was prepared and
some oue to take it sought for. A
rich lady in 8011th Carolina, some
how, heard of it and went to Kal
eigh to see about it. As soon as
she saw It, she fell deeply in love
with it, and signed np the papers
and took it. Ou the way she wireXl
her husband, who was ignorant of
what was going on, that she had
adopted the child. At the hotel in
Greensboro was a telegram await
ing her from her husband saying,
' 'Choose liet ween me and t he ch 1 Id. "
It was heartrending to the old lady.
80 she decided to give up the child
rather than her husband, and hired
a turnout and drove out to the old
negro woman's house and left it as
at first published. But the names
of the parties have not been reveal
ed. It is sad for the child, sadder
for its mother, and saddest for its
grandparents who would not keep
and care for it.

had the great misfortune to lose his
barn, together with all its contents,
by fire Saturday night A good
mule perished iu the flames, aud a
buggy, wagon, harness, etc., were
all burned. The fire was discov
ered about 2 o'clock in the night
and was too well under way to save
anything. He estimates his loss at
about KH) dollars, with no insur
ance. The fire ia believed aud
that not without good reasons to
have been the work of an incendi

weeks since his brother, Mr. Fulton
Helms, lost bis dwelling and all its
contents in a similar way.
From what the Enterprise is able
to learn, not a great many voters
in this part of the county are going
to be favorable to holding the Dem
ocratic primary so early in the
veer as the month of May. farm
ers are entirely bio busy during
the spring and early summer to
give the candidates much thought
or attention. And then, too, it
takes a candidate about as long to
raise a crop of voters as it does a
farmer to raise a crop of cotton.

I nder arrest, charged with niur-
deriug his father, Kobe L. Trays
ham, while being taken to Lynch
burg to avoid danger of lynching
here, died on the train aa the re
sult of the intense excitement upon
a weakened heart.
A piece of twine tied around a
blood stained copy of the w ash
ington I'ost of February 14, fonnd
beside tbe body of ex City Hergt.
J. B. Traynham, who was murder
ed Sunday night a week ago at his
rooms here, furnished the clew
which the police followed np to the
arrest of the murdered man s son
this morning.
The twine was of a peculiar kind,
used only by one merchant here,
and tbe police discovered from him
that he had sold a hatchet to
Traynham's son a few days pre
vious to the murder. It also was
discovered that the son carried the
hatchet concealed in his overcoat
Saturday and Sunday previous to
the murder.
Last night Chief Dyer derided
that be had the chain of circom
stantial evidence strong enough to
warrant au arrest. He called in
Commonwealth's Attorney Perkins
and others and laid the evidence
before them. They agreed that the
chain was about as complete as it
could be, and that it was tbe hand
of Robert Traynham that murdered
his father.
The chief considerately wished
to spare Mrs. Traynham the shock
of the arrest of her husband, and
Detective Griffin was sent with
others to the home, No, 375 Thir
teenth avenue southwest. Other
officers were posted about the bouse,
and iK'tective Griffin went to the
door, accompanied by Officer Over
street Mr. Traynham was told
that Chief Dyer wished to see him,
and be accompauied the officers.
After leaving the borne, Traynham
was informed that he was nnder
arrest The officers quietly took
the prisoner to the depot and board
ed the train for Lynchburg.
While he was en route to Lynch
burg he scarcely spoke except to
beg for water, several draughts of
which he ravenously drank during
the fifty-mile ride. On the arrival
of the train at Lynchburg, when
oidered by the officers to get up,
he exclaimed, "Ob, my knees,"
and began foaming at the mouth,
and before he could be removed on
a stretcher to the baggage-room he
expired.
From tbe first suspicion pointed
to the son. For tbe past two years
his life has been anything but ex
emplary. Before that he held a
positiou of importance in the rail
road shops, but forsook it for the
more alluring card table. For
eighteen mouths his wife had be
lieved bun to be connected with
the shos, and he accounted for his
absence by stating that he had to
go out of the city for the Norfolk
aud Western. It also waa known
that he was in financial trouble.
Traynham played cards Sunday
night up to 8 o'clock, but nothing
in regard to his movements could
he found after that honr, and when
interviewed by Chief Dyer be could
not account for the time after that.
It was noticed that he bad astratch
on his face aud slight cuts on bis
hands. Those with whom be played
cards on Saturday say that he had
no scratch ou bis face and there
were no cots on his hands.
Every
Two Minutes
Physicians tell us that all
the blood in a healthy
human body passes through
the heart once in every two
minutes. If this action be
comes irregular the whole
body suffers. Poor health
follows poor blood 5 Scott's
Emulsion makes the blood
pure. One reason why
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
is such a great aid is because
it passes so quickly into
the blood. It is partly di
gested before it enters the
stomach ; a double advan
tage in this. Less work
for the stomach; quicker
and more direct benefits.
To get the greatest amount
of good with the least pos
sible effort is the desire of
everyone in poor health.
Scott's Emulsion does just
that A change for the
better takes place even be

Little Boy in Chesterfield Shoots
His Sister.
Oa1.rf.rld advettlve.
A sad affair occurred in the
home of Mr. Philip Hurst, who
lives ia the Hhiloh rhnrrh section,
late last Monday afternoon. It seems
that Mr. Hurst had his gun, prob
ably shootiug a bird near the house,
and gave it to one of his little boys
to carry iuto the house. After the
little fellow, who was about 7 years
old, bad been in the house a short
while, his sister, nearly 14 yearsold,
started in tbe house to see what the
little fellow waa doing, and as she
got to the door the gun fired and
the whole load of shot struck her
on the iop of the head, tearing
away all of the hair on a place
measuring two or three inches and
breaking the skull, causing pieces
of it to enter the brain. Dr. Teal,
being on his way to that section,
was gotteu to her in aliout one-half
hour after tbe shooting. After re
lieving the pressure on the brain
by torn of the broken pieces of
the sknll, tbe girl went iuto spasms
and die in about thirty in mutes.
The load did not euterthe skull,
but seeded to strike aud glance
after breaking it This is indeed
a sore trial lor the family, air,
and Mrs. Hurst certainly have the
sympathy of every one.

Elsewhere in our news columns
will be found a brief story of an old
negro who died in Stokes county a
few days ago and confessed ou his
death bed to the murder of a white
man committed many years pre
vious, in which be cut his victim's
heart out aud roasted it in the fire.
lhe remarkable thing about it is
that tbe old uegro, after con leaning
it remarked that he was going
straight to hell for bis sin. We
dou't know about that aud wouldn't
offer au opinion, but it ia refresh
ing to know that some murderers
still look u ion bell as a finul rest
ing place, it is getting quite com
mon for every murderer and rapist
in the country to anuoiince before
departing that they are going the
most direct route from this world
to heaveu, without any stops or
lay-overs. Of course, it is possible
for murderers aud rapUs to reiieut
of their sins and be forgiveu by a
God who is ever compassionate, but
but ws were never favorably im
pressed with the gallows as a start
ing point for glory, and it varies
the monotony of things to hear of
one murderer who is really iu fear
of hell aud is impressed with its
awful reality.
Beautiful Woman With Heart of a
Fiend.
Tiffin, O., lil'patrh, 32nd ult.
Mrs. Cora Carpenter was anested
here today accused of wrecking a
Pennsylvania freight train a week
ago Wednesday night, and attempt
ing to wreck a fast passenger train
on that night and the night follow
ing. Mrs. Carpenter is a incmbcr
of a prominent family of this coun
ty and is a beautiful woman, high
ly educated and apparently refined.
She is supposed to have a mania
for causing and witnessing wrecks.
The authorities declare it was a
miracle that a fast train, crowded
with passengers, was not wrecked
on the first and second attempts to
ditch it.
Grover Bachman, aged 20, who
was arrested yesterday, today con
fessed that be and Mrs. Carpenter
wrecked a freight train last week,
but that its unexpected arrival pre
vented the loss of as many lives as
they expected.
Tbe plot, as outlined by Bach-
man, was that together they would
wreck tbe train and that when the
horror of the catastrophe had
caused a large reward to be offered,
Mrs. Carpenter would tell on bim.
He was willing to serve a year or
so in the penitentiary, he says, and
after that was over the two had
planned a life of ease.
How the Mob Does Negroes in Ohio.
Charlnttr observer.
The difference between mob vio
lence in Ohio and the South as re
gards crimes by negroes is again
emphasized by the news of the riot
in Springfield Tuesday night Be
cause of tne ratal Bnooting ot a
white man by two negroes, a mob
which defied the police set fire to
houses in the negro quarter of the
town and a number were destroyed
In short the crowd made war on
all negroes because of the crime of
two of their number. A Southern
mob might have lynched the of
fenders, but it would uot have mo
lested innocent parties. An occur
rence similar to this outbreak oc
curred in Springfield some two or
three years ago.
For three nights the mob raged
against tbe negroes and were sup
pressed only by n.achine guns in

Secret Passage Foils Hunters of

According to a statement made
yesterday in the olhe of lawxer
Henry Wolliuan, who ri-pn-wiits
Mi.tiouri in lt suit to take awsv
the charter of the Standard Oil
Company, the pmce nt-rvera who
are hunting for John D. Itis-kefellrr
have just made w hat is to them
most disagreeable discovery. They
have learned, to their aMonudiuient
aud chagrin, that there is a private
or secret uudt;eaar between the
home of the oil king at No. i est
rilty fourth street aud the rest
dence of his son in-law, K. I'arnm
lee Prentice, at So. 5 West Fifty
third street.
For weeks and weeks the sleuths
have lieen wondering why they
could not catch the elder Ihs-kefc
ler. They have had hi in, as they
tielieved, neatly sMtted ' on sev
eral occasions at his big town house.
Then thev waled themselves pa
tiently iu front of the browustoue
mansion and is-ekcd calmly and
triumphantly through the iron rail
ings. "We've got him this time," they
said.
After they had waited for several
hours thev would get word that Mr.
Rockefeller had left his house and
was ou his wav to his gabled retreat
at 1'ocaiitico Hills, np iu estches

Henry Wolliuan, counsel for the
State of Missouri in its suit against
the Standard till Company, said
yesterday: 'If we had cIO.imkj we
could hire fifty process servers, and
then, I supiMise, we could get our
hands on Mr. liockcfcllcr somehow,
some time. But our preseut force
has seen bullied by the passageway
between his home and that of his
son in law, and by the multitudi
nous passageways in the .Standard
Oil building, No. I'll Broadway.
Mr. Wollmau said he had receiv
ed several tiis to theelVeet that the
oil king was not iu l'uroie, or in
the South, but was in reality vilirat
iug between his home in this city
and his estate at Pocautico Hill.
The process servers have also
been bullied in their search for oth
er big Standard Oil men, notably
Chas. M. Pratt, Walter Jennings,
Henry M. Till'ord, Wesley II. Til
ford, Chas. T. White, Koht. H. Mc
Nail, Jan. It. Taylor and Michael
M. Van Beiircu.
Pratt is a red headed man. aud
the sleuths thought he would bean
easy mark. But they soon found
to their dismay that the Standard
Oil headquarters ut No. 2ii Broad
way was full of red headed men,
many of whom looked more or less
like Pratt Pratt lives in Brook
lyn, in a row of mansions all in
habited by Prutts, all of whom are
red headed.

Henry H. Rogers to answer the
questions which he refused to an
