Pulled from Under a House He , Takes to Plight Marshal Brad - ley's Steady Eye. William MoLain, who sought to make a living by selling both "shorts"- and "longs"- of Harnett ooanty corn, without the formality of obtaining a license, has found to his sorrow that it is unwise to flee from r deputy marshal with a steady hand and a straight eye. This is the story. - v . Deputy -Marshal Bradley, who happened in Harnett county, dis covered the neat money-making machine of Molain and immediately started a searon ior tne retailer. When he finally ran him down and found his man tremblingly ensconced in the darkest corner of "under the house," he anticipated no trouble. "Oh, oome out 'a that," remarked the deputy, accustomed to obedience. MoLain made no reply, and after repeated commands the deputy sug gested in fun that burning the house might have a salutary effeot. Then came tne sound of wicked back soraping on the low sills; suddenly a scraggy head popped from beneath Che house and the awaiting deputy thought his game secure. Onoe on his feet, MoLain deter mined on a bold plan of action. Rush ing full at- the officer, he staggered him with his rush, and turning away at an angle, sought safety in the swiftness of feet. Halt !" 'called the deputy; but the thunder of lawless brSgans sounded down on the ground. Then the offi cer pulled bis weapon. A moment's aim, with a steady eye glancing along the barrel, and the report came. When the puff of smoke cleared away, Mr. Bradley saw his man on bis knees. Investigation showed that the bullet had gone true with one leg hors de combat IT. 8, Commissioner Pnrnell this morning sent McLain on to the next term of the Federal Court The Ideal Steam Laundry Makes Improvement.

NEGROES IN SESSION About Eighty, Delegates in Attendance, h Jiuja Young and Fusion Denoamced Many Speakers Participate John Wllljamaon Talks. The much heralded and talked of negro convention met thla morning in Metropolitan hall oa schedule time. The meeting was not secret as was first given out- There were about ninety delegates in attendanee and they are far above the Average in good appearance and intelligence. Jim Young's effort to stampede the delegates and disrupt the convention seems to have failed. . Jim's, mug waa eonsploious by its aDseaee, though his associate, Mitchell waa -onhand and occupied a box. There have been all kinds of rumors as to the real object of the convention and as to why it was called. Some of the negroes say that the Domoorats brought them here, but it generally takes a rampant fasionists to make this statement The convention was called to order by J. D. La'ta, the original signer of the call. Latta made an appropriate address In a few words. D. P. Berry, of Iredell county, was appointed chairman of the committee on permanent organization. Speech- making was indulged in while the committee retired. fiev. B. U. W.Jjeak, the preacher- politician, was on haud with his frock tail coat and made a stirring speech. Which smells the worse in Leak's nos trils, Senator Bntler or Jim Young, it is hard to say, but it must have been Senator Butler today. Leak in stating his hia beliefs, etc., said that he was for oo-operation, but if Butler and fillman had to ran it, he was dead against it. Mr. Leak is dead against it, and as Senator Butler has a six years' term of life, it is likely that he will stay oat for that many years at least. Rev. O. A. King, of Guilford, said that any man who would print such a eircular as the one Jim Young scat tered about yesterday was not true to his raoe. L. P. Berry, of Iredell, stated that he had spent his own money to come here and that any one who said the Democrats paid his way, lied. He furthermore aald that he had talked with a kinsman of W. F. Young and he believed that the circular accredited to him, and printed by the Gaxette, waa gotten np right here in Balelgh. John Williamson waa the next speaker on the floor. John was at tired almost faultlessly. A white vest and a white rose on the lapel of his coat were very conspicuous. He spoke in his nsual style. He also paid hia respects to fusion, Jim Young and D. H. Young, John discoursed mostly oft D. H. Young's failure to put a negro in his offloe. He said that he had promised Jim Young that he would. Said-Williamson, "if you were to ask Dan Young about it, he would call you a liar, aint dat true nigger f Honest to Lord or don't yon won't go to Heaven." This brought a bow from an old darkey to whom John had ad dressed his remarks. Jim stigmatised the colored fasion ists present as rascal fusion niggers." Ha said a number of things which were catchy and witty. This afternoon, the Convention will get down to work. . The mass meeting occurs tonight. - - TUK SCHOOL BOARD MEETS, Mrs. Barbee's Successor New Books to be JJsed. Yesterday afternoon the public school board of this ci)y met la gen eral session. . . - ,.

AH Three Parties, I.oge Harris and Fifty "Niggers" Will be at the Silver Convention. The Free Silver Convention which is to meet in this city on the 35th of September is just now receiving a push from iil parties and all classes. If any mora calls are put out, it may be necessary to build an amphitheatre or sometjng of the kind to hold the hosts whieh will assemble here. The Democrats first put out their oall ten days ago with leading Demo crats signing it. Senator Bu'ler and B. F. Keith, Jr., who attended the Memphis Silver Convention, have is sued their call, and it will appear in this week's Caucasion. W. H. Worth, J. J. Mott, Harry Skinner, J. M. Moody, A. a. dhuford, V. S. Lusk and W. F. Stroud will also have a card in the Cauoasion calling on all siiverites to attend. But wait, you have not heard it ail.

The Caucasion will in, its next .issue advise the Populists to attend. , It will be seen that the convention. whioh so far is non-partisan will occomplish one thing which has hith erto been an impossibility, the gather ing together of leaders from all three political parties to discuss a political question on whioh they are all a nnit.
