JOHN MORGAN BOUND OVER.
A Deep Trial Before Justice Roberta
- V . Tula Morning.
Before Justice Roberts this morning
the trial of John Morgsn for an
aaaault with a deadly weapon on the
old : colored ' man Eaton came up.
Morgan waa bound over to the Sep
tember term of court la the sum of
$200. It waa about a month ago that
Eaton was out, r It appears from the
evidence that Baton went into Sorrell's
store and asked the crowd standing
la the door to let him by. Morgan
replied that any one who said he was
in the way told a lie. E-tou made no
response but attended to .i business
and started from the storewhen Mor
gan stepped on his foot. Angry
words of a f rofane character followed
between the two men and a fight
ensued. Etoa knocked Morgan down
and then kicked him. The latter
walked away and Eston soon became
faint and fell to the groand; his neck
was cut almost from ear to ear. and
bis coat was also cat. Iu his testimony
teday Baton swore that Morgan struck
him before he kuockod him down.
The trial proper vsa oue of interest
from the side-lights of argument and
examination that Hushed all through
the proceedings. J. C. L. Harris,
Esq., represented the IState and Moses
A. Bltdsoe, Esq., the defendant.
Much stress was laid on the five points
ol evidence, the hsngiag of a lamp
and the direction of it's rays, etc
After Judge Roberts had drawn a
very comprehensive map of the store
and surrounding streets, he gave
judgment as above.
A PARIS GHEEV SCARE.
Put on a Cabbage Plant 11
Will
Likely do Damage.
A good many of our readers are
very much interested in the dispatch
we received several -days ago to the
effect that persons had died from
eating cabbage on which was Peris
green, A number of people who ha
heretofore eaten this dish with the
greatest relish, strongly aver that
that tbey will never eat any more
cabbag" unless they know whxre they
were grown,
It is well known that many people
use Paris green on the plants to kill
worms and insects. Mr. John 1.
MaoRae, a few days ago, refused to
aell the mixture to a eountry man
who wanted it for the purpose of
placing it on his cabbage.
A well known physioian told us this
morning that he would purchase no
more cabbage until he was assured
that Paris green ad never been used
on them. He aaid that the effects of
snoh a mixture would remain during
the existence of the plant even though
put on when quite young.
Truckers and gardners should be
careful and use their judgment.

AN IWffll MEETING.
Board to Decide on Holding
a Bond Election.
CAN ONLY BE $50,000.
Chicago Syndicate Anxious to Se
cure Them Means Mneh For
Italelg
At the meeting of the Board of
t Aldermen to night, tha matter oj
aumg aa election for the purpose
of issuing bonds will likely come up.
It is a subject in whioh every oitizen
should be interested. It means the
immediate change of some of Ral
eigh's roads often called streets
into handsome paved and macada
mized thoroughfares; or it means
that they will oontinue along just
abont in the same old "rickerty"
condition.
The aldermen have a responsibility
before them, and they no doubt will
be equal to the emergency. The
street committee at the last meeting
recommended the issuance of bonds.
There has been a good deal of talk
aj to the amount of bonds that
should be issued. Sums all the way
from $200,000 to 150,000 have been
suggested. Tha faot is that only
$50,000 worth of bonds can be issued
according to an act of the Legisla
ture. The charter does not oonfliot
with this act in any way. This faot
was only recently learned.
It will be 850,000 or nothing.
Some Northern gentlemen and
especially a Chicago syndicate is
anxious to secure the bonds. They
have heard that the city intended to .
issue these bonds, and they have
written several time to the City
Clerk to learn how they will be sold,
whether at private or publio sale.
All this speaks volumes for Ral
eigh.
