The jury in the Thorn murifcr trial returned a verdict this aftermn of , guilty in the first degree for murder of Wm. Guldeu suppe. The jury retired at 2:24, return ing at 5:02. The excitement was in tense. When the jury' was' brought in the jurors' , faces were ashly pale, and foreman Thomas Morsi trembled as with an ague. Thorn, white faced, and outwardly calm, wet his dry lips often, but did not look at the jury. His lawyer glanced at the jury and turned'! away, convinced tha they had convicted Thorn. jThe silence in the court-room was oppressive. Thorn's efforts to smile were pitible. . When Foreman Morse said: "guifty" Thorn failed to show any effect -the verdict had on him. The court postponed sentence until Decem ber 3d, when it will condemn Thorn to die in the electric chair. .. : The jury took. only seven ballots to convict. It stood 11 for conviction and 1 for acquittal; then the last man voted guilty. Counsel fear that further ef forts to save Thorn from, the chair will be futile. Mrs. Nack will next be placed on trial if arrangements are not made by her counsel for her to plead guilty and In;' sentenced to life impris onment. Mrs. Nack wept when the verdict was announced to her. "I'm sorry for Thorn," 'she sobbed, "but my conscience as-lear." It is reported that when Thorn was lev back, to jail ho said to the keeper: "I'm glad 'tis over, every word Mrs. Nack said is true. I killed Guldensuppe and cut the body tip."

The negroes never appeared to better advan tage than to-day during the ceremonies connected with the opening of the Fall session of the Normal and Industrial In stitute, of which Booker Washington is the president. The best of feeling pre-' vailed and the race took"genuine pride in the progress of the sons of the late slave population. There were, present Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and Governor Johnston (who declared that of all the institutions maintained by State ; work none gave him more satisfaction than the industrial col lege), ex-Governor Northen, of Georgia, and almost all State officers of two neighboring States. The speech of Mr. J ohnston dealt especially on the gener ous character of rivalary which existed between those who worked to develop talents "which God gave them' rather than foi( meritorious rewards of social or political mastery. The black farmer, equally with the hite was the source of wealth to tqe State an element of good citizenship and preserver of peace. Secretary Wilson jsaid j the negro was born a. farmer, whose instincts led him into industry, and if he could fill to satisfaction the industrial wants in the community in which he lived, he could afford to ignore mere fleeting things. The students assembled presented a pleasing picture of sterling manhood. The absence of colored poli ticians of the State was noticeable, but in their place there were a large number of colored f armers,who have com in their cibs and cotton yet unsold. Patriotic songs Were snng. Mr. Washington read lettere of regret from President McKin- ley, Chief Justice Fuller, Bishop C. B. Galloway, Bishop Potter and many oth ers. The college halls were tastefully decorated and the grounds arranged to show the handiwork of the students. Secretary Wilson promised to make spe cial report to President McKinley of the favorable impression made upon him. WINCE ASSEMBLES TODAY.

Dr. Yates Last Night. The Edenton Street M. E. Church was filled last night with a large and appreci ative audience, which had gathered at the regular annual meeting of the North Carolina Methodist Historical Society to listen to the address of Rev. E. A. V.lno Tt Tk ProoM Vlo. of Dolainh rr: t 1 "f ; V , , District, upon the "Life and Labors of the Lte Rev. Dr. Wm. Closs. The society was called to order by the President, Rev. G. A. Oglesby. The ex ercises were opened by devotional exer cises, wThich were! conducted by Rev. F. A. Bishop. After the religious exercises, the roll was called by Rev. T. N. Ivey, the sec retary, and a large majority of the mem bers responded to their names. On motion, it was ordered that all new members present their names to the secretary after adjournment. After other routine business of minor importance,: President Oglesby, in a few t . i. .1 l- -7- 1 the audience. Dr. Yates opened his remarks by stating that his address would be wholly upon his personal recollection of Dr Closs' life and not upon any data that he had saved . from time to time. The doctor then proceeded, in a talk of One hour and two minutes, to give his hear ers an intellectual feast that has never been .surpassed, we dare say, in the city of Raleigh. It was one of the most brilliant and interesting talks we have ever listened to, and his audience was delighted in rwhiat he had to say from the very first. The speaker knew Dr. Closs well for many years, served under him as a. young preacher and was afterward his associate in the bishops' cabinet. He therefore spoke from a thorough knowledge 'of the man whose greatness he presented to the audience Dr. Closs was perhaps the greatest man Methodism of the last half century has produced, and Dr. Yates vefy Miy paid a glowing tribute to hid life, character and labors; He referred to Dr Gloss's early and successfni labors for the Upbuilding of Methodism id North Carolina, his love for his Cllureli, Ills iong and Conse crated service td God, "and numerous other characteristics of this great 'and good man. At the close of Dr Yates' address, the audience by unanimous vote extend ed its thanks to the. doctor for his very able and intesting talk. Rev. it. A. lioodchua had pre pared" "'paper on "History of North Carolina Methodism, which was to have been read before the soci ety, but owing to' the lateness of the hour it was thought .best not to present it, so on motion, it was ordered that1 it be published, in the Society , Annual along' with Dr. Yates"addres8. The society was. instructed to commu nicate with the family of the late Rev. H. T. Hudson, D. D., and see if they could not furnish the society with the material Dr. Hudson' had prepared for a History of North Carolina Methodism. The following officers of the society were elecf ed for thei ensuing year : ' President G. A. Oglesby. First Vice-President L. L. Nash Second Vice-President N. M. Jour ney. Third Vice-President B. R.

ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE Issued by the Democratic State Executive Committee Chicago Platform Real firmed and Republican Adminls tratton InN. C. Condemned. The Yarboro looked its old self to-day with such a number of stalwart Demo- krats congregated and bunchMjn lbbby, the scene of so manyTpolitical gatherings. (j JThe.occasiqn of this gathering was the meeting of the Democratic State Execu tive Committee, which was had in rooms 40 and 41, on the second floor." The' meeting was called to order at 8 p. IU. uy viiauuiau jsiauiy, auu me Ult tendance of such a large number of members in an off-year politically was noticeable. There was a full and free discussion of political matters without reservation by members of the committee. At the conclusion of these remarks the follow ing address was issued to Ike people of North 'Carolina. The address was prepared and submitted to the commit tee by Mr. Francis D. Winston: The representatives of the Democratic party in North Carolina 'congratulate the Democrats of her sister States, who with a firm rtand for the principles em bodied in the Chicago platform, have won gplended victories for the people. In rejoicing at the success, of the Democratic party in the late elections we remind the ;people that Democratic majorities were' largest, and Republican majorities were smallest, in those States where that platform was the issue. It is a significant fact that Democracy was defeated in the States where local con cerns were allowed to overshadow . the principle of the party. Democracy is for all the people. The recent utter ances of the people are plain and Ide cided. "They have expressed their faith m the Chicago platform, their belief in . s v f f J: ' a J: bimetallism,their disgust and disapproval of Republican creeds and practices, and, above all, their hatred of the tyrannous gold standard. They show that they will a longer submit to the robbery of trusts, the domination of bosses and the oppression of the money power." v The condemnation of the hypocrisy and falsehood of the Republican party is crushing. It is equally pronounced, whether we hear it, loud and free, in the wheat fields of Ohio and Iowa, or struggling for ut- terance in the wealth congested center of "Greater New York," "where the can- , . 'n rv.fiived 80 000 nlnral- J . ity a candidate whose only campaign utterance was "Fam afDomocrat,' who wa heart and soul for the Chieairo nlat- form, and the candidates who stowl on it . . -vt . i .. it . : .. . i f ... ii.... il... iio less Hgiiiuisui is iiitrtvi me people oi uie cmuc ui hc iihh elected by 70,000 majority as Chief Jus- tice of the Court of Appeals a states- man, who sought support by announ- cing that he "had voted for Hon. Wm. J. Bryan last year." And with this glorious news of Demo- cratic success we rejoice that "sham in- ternational' bimetallism" has been ex- posed. There is now no room for Re- publican dodging. - , , We reaffirm bur belief in the pnnci - pies of the Chicago and State platforms of the Democratic party, as adopted in their entirety, and we wpTstill support those principles until they are written in our laws. - We would be untrue ,to the firm and loyal allegiance the Democrats of North Carolinia bear to our greatest leader, Hon.
