A special letter to News and Ob-j server from Morehead City June 15th, says: Last night about 11 o'clock, near the scene where E. W. Weeks was murdered last week, Lewis Patrick, colored who had been tak en from Beaufort jail the previous night, was killed. Seventy-five shots were fired and his body was riddled with bullets. The people heard the firing but nobody was seen. It is supposed that when the mob found on Wednesday morning that they were followed they hid Pat rick on-Dog Island and kept him there during daylight. Last night thev took him out and ended his life. It is reported that in order to 6ave his neck the negro implicated other parties, but the lynching par ty thought he was lying and gave no weieht to hi words. The news reached Beaufort this afternoon, and there was universal regret at the occurrence. Sensational Developments In Wilmington Counterfeit Cases. There were some sensational de velopments in the trial of the Wil mington counterfeiters last week. Nicholas Politz, contrary to the advice of his counsel, took the wit ness stand and made a full confes sion, and very strongly implicated A. J. Marshall, the Wilmington lawyer, who had been arressed on the same charge, and gave the de tails of the "money making busi ness" they had been carry ing'on. Politz was sentenced to a term of six years ut hard labor and a fine of $500. Walter Slivey was sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor for a year and a day and a fine of f 100. Lawyer Marshall waived pre liminary examination before Uni ted States Commissioner and was admitted to bail for appearance at next term of court in the sum of 15,000, which he gaVe. The bond was first made $10,000, but was finally reduced after stretinous ob jection by counsel. Marshall asserts his innocence and his confidence in his ability to prove it. Wilmington Meant Business. When the citizens of Wilming ton last fall ordered certain obnox ious persons to leave the city, it seems that they mcrnt business. They didn't mean for them to stay away till after the election as cer tain Populists suggested, the negro Manly should do Their edict was for all time. Air Bryant, a dis turbing character of color who was banished last fall, returned a few days ago. A crowd of 100 citi zens organized and weut to the house where Bryant was staying, but he heard, of their coming and made his escape. If he had been caught he would have been given such a thrashing with a cat-o'-nine tails as would have been sufficient warning to him never to return. ' G. Z. French also made a flying visit to Wilmington about two weeks ago. He arrived and left in the same day. It is now said that if he had not left as soon as he did he would have made his exit under more unpleasant circum stances.. It seems that the citizens of Wilmington are determined to never again allow these negro or" ganizers to return to their city. Postoffices Advanced Rockingham Re duced. Washington, June 15.

A West Virginia judge finds himself in the same judicial puzzle thf.t Solomon did on one occasion when he had to decide the materni ty of a child.

There was an explosion in the Caledonia coal mines, North Sid ney, B. C, last Friday, nearly a mile underground, which shook the surrounding country like an earth quake. Only about fifty opera tives were in the mine at the time, and half of these made -their es cape by a slooe. Eleven dead bodies have so far been recovered from the mine. 'Silver Dick" Bland Dead. Congressman Richard Parks Bland died at his home near Leba non, Mo., last Thursday morning He fell asleep two days before death and remained in that con dition till the end came. He has for many years been a prominent figure in American politics, esteem ed by all for his sterling integrity. and for a good part of his long term in Congress was chairman of the finance committee. He won the title of "Silver Dick," by which he was popularly known, by reason of his persistent and con sistent advocacy of the cause of the white metal, which he did dur ing his long term in Congress, whether its triends were many or few. He was a popular candidate for the nomination for the Presi dency by the last Democratic con vention, but when the "Boy Ora tor of the Platte" captured the cenvention by his eloquence, none rendered more cheerful support than Silver Dick Bland, Notwithstanding his long term in Congress he died a poor man. What a eulogy in this day when positions of influence are-, often used in fortune building. Faithful even unto death.

Philippine Situation Serious The In creased Prices of Trust Products. (From our regular correspondent.) Washington, June 19, 1899. At last, VarJ)epaitment officials admit the truth as tp.ihe situation in.the Phiiippinep; that more fight ing find lots of it is ahead of, our trpops; that the alleged Pence Com" mUsioners, pulled the wool o?er our men's eyes and not only got the time they wished to prepare fo more fighting, but gath'ered valua ble information which they have Deenable to put to good use in ag gressive .fighting. There is no more talk of volunteer surrender on the pari of Aguinaldo. It js now admitted that he hag got to be whipped into submission, and1 that jt will not be an easy job, by any means, unless a much larger army than thirty-five thousand men now being provided for is placed under the command of Gen. Otis. There is a rumor afloat that Mr, John R. McLtan, of Ohio who also has a home in Washington, intends to establish a .daily paper at the Nalionul Capital, which will sup port Col. Bryau for president and advocate free silver; also that Air McLean would like to run on tht ticket with Col. Bryan. It is not surprising that the ad ministration should have quietly overlooked the break made by Prof. Baupt. a member of. the pies ent end of the last Canal Commit sion, in confirming the general ia. pression that influences strong enough to thwart the almost unani mous wish of , the people of this country, had been successfully used to prevent the building of the Nic aragua canal, and even to prevent the publishing of the report made by the last commission, which it- said to contain a scathing exposure of some of lhe,se influences. The subject is chuck full of political dynamite, and the administration was afraid of it. Therefore, instead of calling Prof. Haupt down for his loo truthful exposure of a National scandal and firing him from the new Commission, the admiuistra "ot him to wiite a letter saving he had been misquoted by the newspa per that printed the exposure, and was glad to let it go at that. The new commission met last week, au thorized thu appointment of Com mittees, and adjourned to meet again, in Washington; July Gth. There isn't the slightest doubt about the. position of Repreenta-s live Lentz, of Ohio, on national is ues. He said of the National look out: '"The only thing that can keep AJr. Bryan froni being President of tfe U: S., is for the Hanna demo-, crats and the Hanna republicans to pre Vent . l)i! .nomination. They ;re now scheming t- b ng about that consummation, hut they will hardly succtnl- I am for Bryan in 120J. iii.d a lepetition of Chicago platform, . u ith home addition?. J favor the election l U.

One of the trost valuable witness es who has testified before the In dustrial, Com roision, since it tackled the trust?, was Mr' P. "R. DnwR. Prps. ident of the Commercial TrnveiftrV National League. He' presented some startling figures. He said the formation of trust throw 35 000 drummers out of work and reduce tae pay of 25,000 who would, keep, their iobs. which would mean loss to the men in 8,lnrwW ftfiOOOOOOO. a loss to the railroads of the countrv of $21,000,000, and to the hotels of 828.000.000.
