C. C. JONES TRAILED BY : POSTOFFICE INSPECTORS Detectives Believe They Have a Clue That he Disposed of Stamps Secured by Safe Blowers from Postoff ices . Evidence has -been "secured by United States detectives which, they believe, will connect Charles C. Jones, formerly of Goldsboro, and once possessor of the noy famous Jonesboto bonds, with dis posing of booty from the robbery of the. post nfljce at. La Grange and per haps other towns in the state where post office safes have been blown open. "Last year several post office robberies were committed in this state. La Grange and Apex being among the number. The detectives have never - ceased . working on the cases and last night one of their findings came to light. After the discovery that Charles C. Jones, the young man who ran a pool room in Goldsboro, was the party hod fn il3 noRsesslon. the bonds stolen from the safe of Mr. J L. God frey In Jonesboro, until their return to the owner was negotiated, the fed eral -officers have been striving to ttnd out if Jones had any stamps or ptfrer property taken from the robbed 'ff rtfflre. 'I. .i The dectectives, secured some infor mation unknown to the public, then MURDER TRIAL TO BEGIN THURSDAY Court Opens in Wilson With Judge Fred Moore on the Bench Wilson, N. C, Feb. 8. Special. Wil Bon superior court convened this morn ing at 10 o'clock, with His Honor Judge Fred Moore upon the bench. 'A grand jury was soon drawn, when Judge Moore delivered an able and elaborate and comprehensive charge, which cov ered the whole "field of criminal law. He has a fine, mellow voice and a good delivery, and as his charge was couch ed in pure and ornate language.it was listened to with great delight and in- terest, and won the highest commenda- M. Kerschner, tendered his resigna tion: JUdge Moore has already madejtlon. which was accepted to take ef a fine impression upon our people, for ! 'ect immediately. The action of the they see in him not only one who is 1 ' deeply learned in the law. but a fair and upright and high-toned and in corruptible jurist, holding the scales fairly and impartially thus giving to the bench that respect and veneration which the majesty of the law demands. Solicitor Daniels, bold, fearless, and aggressive, is representing the state with his accustomed zeal and fidelity, making breakers of the peace realize that the ArguS eyes of the law are upon them, and will surely make them suffer for Its violation. At the afternoon session, the prison ers, John Plttman, J. T. Bass, W. H. Rich, G. W. Whitley, Gill Ward and John Allen, charged -with the murder of Percy Jones, were brought into court and arraigned for trial; Pittman for murder In the first degree, and the others for murder in the second degree. A venire of 300 was ordered, returnable Thursday morning at 10" o'clock when this now famous and celebrated case will again come up for trial. Several mandamus cases will be heard tonight before Judge Moore, whether or not the county commission- Black Creek, Boyett and Saratoga. These cases have excited a great deal of attention and comment. The decis ion of the judge will be awaited with great interest. DEATH PLUCKS AN OPENING FLOWER Wilson, N. C, Feb. 8. Special. Miss Kate Snakenburg, a very lovely and most estimable young lady, passed Into the great beyond this morning at 9 o'clock- Death, is sad under any circumstances, for it taking from view a lovedxme upon whom the eyes will never rest again, even though It be the old and Infirm and. tottering, and one ' who is prepared for the glories of the eternal dawning, or be it the young infant, without one taint of sin, -'melting away like a snow flake upon the current of a river before one stain , of earth had touched and soiled its purity yea death is sad even when Its shadows fall upon lives like these. But, to the young maiden in the rosy flush of the very morning of existence, when the flowers of hope are blooming in richest beauty and fragrance, when the birds of fond dreams , are . singing their sweetest carollings; and the dew drops of bright cheer are glistening For Breakfast, Luncheon, or Supper, the Unequalled Beverage m . i A . Will OQ asked to see the stock of stamps on hand. They found a quantity of two and five cent and special delivery stamps which were used to supply the demand of the patrons of the hotel. The detective asked the proprietor, so the report states, where he secured so many, stamps and he replied that he purchased them from Chas. C. Jones. The detectives then got him to give an affidavit to this fact. The officials evidently regard this evidence as highly important and it was by accident that It leaked out last night. They probably had other sus pions or facts to their knowing or they would not have made the open move of ascertaining where the stamps In the Goldsboro hotel came from. The whereabouts of Jones is un known, though his attorneys here ex press the opinion that he will appeai in Raleigh next Monday for the hear 'ing in the Jonesboro bond case. Be - fere leaving Goldsboro he Is said to have drawn $7,000 from one bank and $5,000 from another. ln richest brilliancy yea, when death summons such a one into its . noiseless palace of eternal repose, finite voices can offer no words of consolation, and we can only bow. the head In voiceless anguish, for there is no solace in hu man tongue for a grief like this. God, alone, who giveth His beloved sleep can ease the sting, and make them cease to weep. The best physic.

At the morn ing service of the Spencer Presbyterian church yesterday the pastor, Rev. L. pastor was a great surprise to many, X- .... v. : 4. i i . r though it has been known by a few that he had such intentions. The con gregation is now in the midst of a building movement, the new edifice being about one-half completed. The pastor has been the leader in the movement and has accomplished a great deal for ". the church. Mr. Ker schner Is also pastor of the Chestnut Hill Presbyterian-, church, near Salis bury, which pastorate he has not re signed. It is learned that he will con tinue to reside in Spencer. HARVEY IS SORRY He Shot His Pistol for Fun and Wounded a Man in tha Kn6a Greensboro, N. C... Feb. 8. Special. Saturday night about 10 o'clock a man named Wray who works in the express office here was going home some distance out North Elm street. Just this side of the finishing mills he met eight or ten men and spoke to them as he passed. : When perhaps forty or fifty feet from him one man In the crowd turned and fired a pis tol, the ball taking effect in Wray's knee, though it is said the wound is not as bad as - would be expected. There had been no words at all mere ly a salutation as the men passed and it was some time before it could be explained. It is .said the shot was fired by a man named Harvey, but why he fired he says he doesn't know; he says he "just shot . for fun" and is of course very sorry. Debater Seitcted Chapel Hill, N. C, Feb. 8. Special. Mr. J. C. Wright has ! been selected from the Philanthropic Society as one of the representatives of the Univer sity on the debate with the University of Georgia. The contest in which Mr. Wright won this place was held in the hall , of the society last Friday evening. Mr. A. H. Johnson, the otlier representative " of the University in this debate, was selected some days ago by the Dialective- Society. . Policemen Suspended Asbeville, N. C, Feb. 8. Special. The board of aldermen, as committee ot the whole to investigate the charges against patrolman Page, who last week was suspended from duty, today went 10 ine noiei jvenyuu, y (the theme boarded, in Goldsboro and. It Is said,; p. found the patrolman guilty of insubor dination and ordered that he be sus pended for 15 days. 'The charge that the officer ; had harbored a woman, Mrs. "Wbodard, was disproven. . Dr, Moment's Talk Rev. Dr. A. H. Moment made a most instructive and. helful talk last evening before the Epworth League of : the Edenton Street Methodist t church on Be ye workers together with Christ." Rev. , Marvin Culbreth led the meeting. The music was espe cially, enjoyable and Mrs. E. .E Kep hart and Miss Nina Green sang solos. Brute Pursued Ladies Two ladle were badly frightened about 6A& last evening as they WerC crossing Moore square- by a man fol lowing them. They observed .him and quickened their pace. He immediately did the same and one of them ran., The brute caught up with the other,, lady and addressed . some remark to her .which she did not understand. As other persons were approaching he fled. The police secured a description of him and are using every effort to locate the man. Register's Fate ; ', Governor Aycock will today" hear 'those who are opposed to executive in- terference with the death sentence of Jabel Register, the white man, to be i hanged at Whiteville for murder and arson. A delegation : consisting of Messrs. J. A. Brown, N. A. Thompson, J. B. Schulken and S. J. Lewis from Columbus arrived last night to appear before the governor in the matter. ; -. PHILOSOPHY OF THE TOWN - f Every man In every calling in New York has his own private philosophy of life, and bits of it crop out in the most unexpected places. ' There is a ticket chopper on a Sixth avenue elevated station who was heard to remark: "Me job Is jist like the President's. He has to shake , hands at least forty times a day. but . it's forty t'ousan times- a night that I have to shake hands with this damn pump handle. Be Jabers, me Job's the hardest of the two. . . - r. ; A cheerful and optimistic philoso pher this, with a slight tendency to ward exaggeration or hyperbole. The utilitarian philosophy of a truck driver was voiced in the vituperation which he heaped upon the. head of a second driver, who had won in a race to a horse ' fountain! . "Yer fink yfr de whole cheese," he shouted, "because yer horse"1: gets de foist drink yer nine-doUar-a-week manl" A mercenary and materialistic phil osophy this, with a touch of the priJe and arrogance of 'wealth. But perhaps the driver's mind turned to his own SlO'a week, ; because he had a wife and family to support.. ' A cynical phase of police philosophy is Illustrated by the following obser vation, of which a huge roundsman was heard to deliver himself: "A "man who believes everything he reads in' the newspapers will soon go crazrr" v Even the poolroom keepers are not without a higher philosophy outside their business. One of the most noto rious . in the city. The Allen, was heard to remark: 'I don't believe that I have an ene my In the world, and I thank God for it." A soulful bit of philosophy which will doubtless jiTDeal to his official enemies, the police. The philosophy of downtown street car conductors is not so altruistic. "I wish - they'd stop paying people down here," one growled the other day. "Saturday is bad enough when all the weekly men draw their salaries and we get nothing--but . biff monev and run i short of change, but when the first of the month comes we. all have several bust-ups regularly." : . ' A deficiency of small change seems hardly an adequate reason-for stop ping the payment of interest on all bonds and, deDrivinr the whole of Wall street of its salary. This is an egotistical narrow, selfish philosophy. An even narrower mental vision is denoted by the remark of a "chenan go," which he evidently considered an epitome of occupation and recreation. A "chenango," according to the police, is a man who works when he wants a drink. The word , is' in "reality a gen eric term for roust-abouts who work along the river - fronts f rom ' dock to dock, with no regular employment at any one. . ,." ' , 7 The, "chenango" in' question was lead ing a blind brother by the hand. "It's awful hard on him," , he said, with a jerk of; his head toward his charge. "When you can see and you're sick you can play : cards or or play cards to pass the time."' ' What a narrow philosophy and re stricted mental vision is that which can devise no i other way of , passing the "time than card playing 'and gives up the hopeless search for an alterha- A; ghastly philosophy of life Was that indicated by a remark of the East Side mother of, a large family when she was told that her husband ' had . com mitted suicide in a Turkish bath: "Oh, oh, what shall I do? That man always was spending money!" . The shocking quality of this type of philosophy decreases perhaps in direct ratio to tho size of Jfhe family which the bereaved woman has left on her hands. , r "A man who can debts has friends," remarked an artist,' and: . "A man who has friends has debts," rejoined a dyspeptic whose chief char acteristic is unrequited affection for cucumbers. , . - "Oh! my." shrieked the' young- wife I as she read from- the paper, "I will 1 not live with him another day." "What's the matter, dear?" asked her mother. ' . "I see by the pawner that Georee fell down a flight of step whll carrying: his typewriter upstairs in his arms.'

Gates has returned from the southwest, ful of energy and bull enthusiasrruHe rfa-ys that one can not travel through the west and southwest without being impressed by " the wealth apparenCpn all sides. He says: "I am more hopeful in regard to the business outlook of this country than I have been for 15 moriths. Stocks are too cheap. People were buying stocks in 1902 on a 3 1-2 "to 4 per cent, basis, while today the same stocks can be bought on a 5 to 7 per cent, basis. The difference is too great, all things con sidered. . "Our country is too rich to warrant pessimism. Money is abundant, and yet our trade i3 enormous. Our exports are at the highest mark in our his tory. Our Internal commerce is on a sound basis. The farming communi ties are rich, and the -prices of agricul tural products are giving the farmer increasing profits. I. look for better markets and growing optimism." (From the New1 York Commercial.) A leading floor trader, who has ac cumulated a fortune out of the stock market, says: ' "I do not expect anything like a bull market during 1904. For over a year we have been going . through a . slow panic, due to the over-issue of securi ties; and this is a condition which it takes time to overcome. The people who made the bull markets of the past; few years have been the millionaires ,' of New York, Pittsburg, Chicago, Phil- Many of. them became millionaires through the liberal issue of securities by industrial .corporations. On paper many of them were fabulously rich, and they speculated in the stock mar ket in the most reckless manner. When the market . started , to decline, how-; ever, they found ' that they could not dispose of their stocks. The result of enforced liquidation has so crippled many of them that .they are no longer in a position to become market factorsj and, with a .vast amount of undigested securities pressing for sale, I fail to see who is going to make a bull mar ket that Is, the kind of bull market we were accustomed to several years ago. General conditions, however, have undergone a wonderful, improvement; and, what is of equal importance, sen timent is -more . cheerful than it has been in over a year. I expect a grad ual improvement in prices, but no bull market for at least a year." War Believed to Be Near at Hand I Washington, Feb. 5. Only little bits! of news concerning- the far eastern sit- j uation reached the state department j loaay, ana while none or these was of great importance in itself, collectively they were significant, in all pointing: to the idea that war ,1s at hand. The most interesting information came from Mr. Allen, United States minister to Corea, who telegraphed that ' Japanese sub jects had been called In from the Yaluj is - I battle ground of the expected struggle Mr. Allen said that; active steps were being taken by irim to protect Ameri can citliens In the interior, but he did not say what these steps were. - The department also" got a cdnQrma tion of the hews thact the Russian l.eet under .Admiral Stark had returned to Port Arthur and that cable companies would accept telegrams for Corea and Manchuria only-at the- sender's risk. Officers of thes diplomatic corps and the administration freely confess that they are entirely, in the dark as to fc-hat is going. on at St. Petersburg, but the opinion. Is general .that Japan will either make an immediate hostile move or : send- "an, : ultimatum: demanding, :a final response frc r H'tsa. Those, who profess to belie .-jt there will .be no war form a sir.:-. . ;o:ity. , .' While the . e-:p iriwent .is not willing to make nry oScial statement in regard to the dispa'sition that may be made of the United States 'nr. val force in. the far east' should hostilitie? be" begun, it is evident that It intends to keep the "battleship and craler equaxlfons' at' Cavite 'or the near by Sublg Bay, and will send no war ves sels to the vicinity of the Talu, or to Japan or . Corea. The gunboat Vlcks burg, which was sent to Chemulpo, Coreat to look out for American inter ests during, the prevalence of the anti foreign feeling among the Coreans, will remain, there indefinitely, at the dispo sition "of Mr. Allen, the United States minister. . : - This Lawsuit t Years Old (American Legal News.) The famous case of Thomas E. Sub lette against the Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad Company for In jury to; a bull, which has been in all the courts of Missouri since its insti tution, 'over twenty years "ago, came up again at Clayton. It was presented to Judge McBlhinney of the circuit court in the form of documentary evidence,- and was taken under advise ment by him. - Twenty-one years and' one "month ago Mr. Sublette obtained Judgment in ' a justice of . the peace court in Adair county for $75. The suit was brought to recover damages to a young bull belonging to the plaintiff, which was struck by an " engine of the rail road. ' : ' ' . "'. . The railroad company took an appeal to the circuit court of Adair county, where the. suit was dismissed. After the dismissal from the circuit court in ,1883 Mr. , Sublette took it to the supreme court of - Missouri,- which transferred it to the Kansas City Court of Appeals. This body sent the case back to the Adair county circuit, where a new procedure was begun to recover the amount of judgment given by the Justice of the peace court. In 1894 the case was transferred from Adair county to St. Louis county, and from Clayton it went' to the St. Louis Court of Appeals. It was sent back for reversal of judgment. " ' ' 'An execution was issued, art Injunc tion was taken but to 'stay the execu tion, which -was also taken the court of appeals, and which was sustained. A new suit was then brought on ?th original judgment, - was mistried- once and .wag brought, back into court again by Judge McElhiiney granting a new trial. - . - .; The matter of granting a new trial was also taken to the higher courts and sustained. ' This was the proceed ing which brought it up to October 30. The bull has long since died, and many of the ' witnesses have passed away, out of reach of the courts. The suit was originally for $120. - , . I , . ..
