AN INHUMAN CRIME.
Outraged and Then Murdered a
Nine-Year-Old Girl-Tracked
.. by a Detective. "
News has been received at the Gov
ernor's office of. the arrest at Winston
of L. 1. Poe, a fugitive from Virginia,
on the charge 'of outraging aad mur
dering an unknown aine-year-old girl.
The crime was one full of horrible de
tail. The alleged murderer was com
mitted by Jastioe J: C. Bissett, and the
warrant was sworn out by a detective
named Carter.
The story of the erime is as follows:
Some cix months ago Poe was tramp-
lag through Virginia; with him was a
girl," possibly nine years old. Her
asms has never been found out. Poe
claimed that she was a daughter. The
eonple staid for some time near a lit
tle place in Washington county.
Finally the man left, but the girl did
not go with him. Some days after
her remains were found in a barn by
residents of the county. The body
had been horribly maltreated, and
finger marks were on the throat. Il
was evident that she had been mur
dered, and that tbe murderer had first
outraged its victim. Tbesi are the
facts, as I heard in' rumors today.
Full particulars are meagre.
It is strange that under the circum
stances a deteetive should have been
engaged, but such is the case. For
months he has been on the trail of the
murderer. Ac the message to the
Governor shows, he nabbed him yes
terday. Governor Carr will notify the Gov
ernor of Virginia of Poe's arrest, end
he will soon be sent there.

Win. Cody and Congress of Bough
Riders Own tbe Town.
Tbousanda of people lined the
streets thia morning to witness Buffalo
Bill's Calvalcade and aa hie colossal
aggregation of rough riders, gathered
from all quarters of the globe. Such
an irresistable attraction could not
fail to attract the people. Early thia
morning "country" began to roll in
and long before the honr of the
parade the principal streets were
blocked by the thousands of people
LMPXoPY
'PUPF-ALP bill
waitiog toeatch the first glimpse of the
triumphant line of Mr. Cody and his
Wild West.
The crowd has been variously esti
mated from five to fifteen thousand
poople. Possibly ten or twelve would
come nearer being exact.
The parade was a revelation and an
education to the people who witnessed
it. It excited 'heir cariosity sod ad
miration to the highest degree. Con
tingents from each of the various
nationalities passed by on review
eliciting as much applause and ad
miration as if they were the direct
representatives of their respective
governments.
The parade was a grand success. It
was spectacular; it was gorgeous; it
was brilliant. A mounted charger in
advance of Buffalo Bill announced the
approach of the cavalcade. Buffalo
Bill, in a phateon which waa drawn by
two beautifully perfect horses, oame
next. Mist Annie Oakley, the dex
trous shot, was a conspicuous feature
in the prrade. Probably the Congress
of Rough Riders selected from all
quarters of the earth attracted the
most attention. The American Cow
boy, the Roving Ranchero, the Bron
cho Buck Rider, United States Caval
rymen, the French Chasseur, the Eng
lish-Irish Lanoers, Oerman Cuiras
siers, the Hungarian, Magni, Bedouin
Arab, the Russian Cossack, South
American Gaucho, the Tartar of Asia,
the Mexioan Roalie, the Native Ameri
can Redekln, and the Afro-American
Jockey, all followed each other in di
visions.
One of the most noteworthy inci
dents of the day wds the salute given
Major Hayes and bis gnest, Adjutant
General Cameron, by Mr. Cody nnd
the detachment of United 8tats Cav
alrymen. Maj. Hayes was attired in
hia military uniform. The Cavalry
halted in front of the Yarborongh and
about-faced, giving the salute, which,
in turn, was acknowledged by Major
Hayea and General Cameron. It was
a pretty spectacle, indeed
Great crowds witnessed the after
noon performance, whieh is in pro
gress aa we go to press. The verdict
ia that the attraction suipasses all
previi ua attempts at amusement ever
given in the oity.
A party of invited guests viewed
the performance from a private box
tendered by Col. Cody, through Maj
Hays. In the party were Gov Carr,
Hon. R. M. Fnrman, Attorney General
