Oar adviees from Liverpool todsy
were exseediagly disappointing in
tbelr eharseter, and we are surprised
view of the msny ballisb adviees
which have eome to hand from Men-
shester daring the past week, that the
advance of this morning, though
smaller tbso anticipated, was not
maintained. It would appear that
speculation is as dormant abroad as
here, and the effect of the buresa re
port was to create an impression that
the erop was larger than the estimate
gives by the department, simply for
ths reason that for many years the
department always uuder-estlmates
the erop. Again the bureau should
base its figures upon its own yield of
the last season, which was exceeded
by 600,000 bales by the commercial
erop, was another fact wuleo con
tributed to the weakness abroad.
Locally tbe covering of the short
interests yesterday left the market
without support, unless the outside
Interest bought freely. This they
failed to do, in fact, showed more
aniiety to sell, and under their offer
ings, coupled with the local holding,
caused a decline of 13 to 18 points
from last evening's closing prices.

Unjust, Slanderous Charges
Against Marshal Carroll
TO CASHIER WHITAKER
The Witnesses were bed by "Run
ners" with Tickets Against Poor
Uncle Sam Discount Balm.
All yesterday afternoon there was
exoitement at the News and Observer
office. Wild and unoouth rustics
clustered around tbe door and stood
stood jammed up against the railing
in the Cashier's offlee. Inside, Clerk
Whitaker hustled about engaged In a
business which wss far removed from
any newspaper work, bat was on
doubtedly much more productive of
money-making. Every now and then
his band dived down into the money
drawer, a relieved rrstio banded over
a slip of paper and walked out with
its money equivi lent minus twenty
per cent.
The papers were witness tickets
from Marshal Carrol), and Mr. White
ker was sashing them in at the above
named discount, it is easily seen, in
view of the faet that tbe government,
whioh is now dead broke, will pay la
sixty or ninety days, bow big a prolt
there waa In each transaction.
Dp in the court rooms lynx eyed lit
tle negro boys waited around the
doors. Every time a sad eyed rustic
marched oat with a ticket, but no oash,
a boy stepped up: "Youse ean git
some money ef youae eomes wid m,"
was the usual salutation. And thus
it was that ail yesterday afternoon tbe
witnesses marched down in a stream
to the News and Observer office; snd
many wondered tt the activity of the
little "nigger" boys.
Then there came harsh criticisms of
Marshall Carroll. The report became
current that he was famishing the
money to cash in the tickets snd
that he snd his aon-in-lw, Whitaker,
were working "cahoot." Other grave
eharges were mads: that there was in
reality plenty of witness money, bat
that Mr. Carroll was thus making a
profit ont of tbe witnesses; that be
hired tbe "runners."
The Puisa-VieiTOH this moruing
made a careful examination, which
completely clears Marshal Carroll. It
is doubtful if mm was ever before so
slandered. The only foundation for
the story was the family relation of
Mr. Whitaker and Mr. Carroll. The
reporter, after some investigation and
an interesting interview with the Mar
shal, found the banker who employed
Mr. Whitaker, and who, either dlreot-
ly or indirectly, furnished him the
funds. Tbe cashing of tickets has
been practised here by reputable busi
ness men for years; Msjor Tucker one
year discounted nearly all of them.
Marshal Carroll siys he has within the
past sixty days redeemed a thousand
dollars worth of tickets held by Mr.
Leo Heartt, of Durham.
Marshal Carroll was seen at the court
room by a reporter this morning
"I am glad you same," he said, "for
I want to set myself right before the
people. Before the opening of the fell
courts ths marshals are required to
pat in a requisition for funds to run
the courts.I sent in a reqaisition.whieh
was honored, for $10,000, thinking it
would be sufficient to ran the Newborn,
Wilmington and Baleigh courts. When
the Wilmington court adjourned there
was left of this money only $3,800,
which amount I knew would not be
sufficient for this oourt. Therefore in
the interior I pat in another requisi
tion for $5,000 and here is the letter
I got from Attorney General Har
mon." Marshal Carroll thea showed the re
porter the letter, dated December Srd,
aad stating that the fands fur witness
fees were short and aad oaly $1,400
wss available. This made the witness
money for this court amount to $4,-
800, which as turns out was not nearly
sufficient.
"I then wired that I wonld have to
adjourn coart in a week, if there was
ao mora money forth-coming. . This is
tbe telegram I r solved: (Hers the
reporter was shown the following tele
gram) ' Witness money exhausted
Letter follows. Jadsoa 0. Harmra.
The letter simply reiterated that the
funds were completely exhausted.
, "Before taking say aetioa I weat to
see Jadge Beymur aad asked ' kiss
what to do. He advised me that it
wonld aever do to sdjoura court. I
thea told the witnesses that there was
o say for them to get tber money
exiept by potting tbir llckrts on tbe
market. People all owr town bav
been buying tbein. Luiher Whit
jourymaa, bai been cashing; them
right up her.'
Mr. Carroll said that be understooi
that a certain promiuent Raleigh
banker wished to discount the tickets
As the bank slcsed Just when the
nesses got their tickets, this gentle
man employed Mi. Whitaker and fur
nishsd him the money to take them up
that be knew nothing of this 'till last
evening; that as soon as be found
out he wrote Mr. Whitaker a letter,
saying, that in view of tbelr relations,
he must stop taking the tickets.
When asked when was it probable
that tbe tickets would be cashed by
the Government, Mr. Carroll showed a
letter from bis attorney at Washing
ton, stating that thj Attorney General
would recommend to Congress aa ap
propriation for tbe urgency deficiency
bill for tb payment of witness fees.
Mr. Csrroll denied emphatically that
he knew anything about tbe hiring of
runners" to pilot witnesses to Mr,
Whitaker until the .reporter told him
thefaot. He stated S second time that
he nad advised the witnesses only to
borrow money enough for immediate
use on their tickets.
The banker who employed Mr. Whit
aker stated to a reporter that so fsr
aa be knew, Mr. Carroll did not know
of Mr. Whltaker's connection with the
matter; that he eertainly had nothing
to do with his employment.
Mr W. D. Matthews, of Ascend,
Chatham county, came into Ibis office
this af ernoon and ststed that he re
ceived a ticket yesterday and was told
by Mr. Hannah, clerk in Mr. Carroll's
ce, to go to the News snd Observer
office where he could Ket " cashed. He
stated that be went tber and that a
gentleman whose name he afterwards
ascertained to be Whitaker, offered
him 80 cents on tbe dollar for his
ticket. Mr. Matthews refused tbe
ofier as did also Mr. J. T. Gill, who
accompanied him. Mr. Gill also em
phasised his refusal by saying that be
would see the gentleman iu a climate
that is warmer than A is before woulJ
take 80 eeote on te dollar for bis
ticket. Mr. Matthews also said that
there were two e ilored men acting as
runners or pilots to steer people hold
ing these ticke t to and from the
News and Observer office. He slso
ssid that bs was glad to be able to
state that be bad a little money and
did not have to shave bis ticket at 20
per cent to get enough funds to pay
bis hotel bill and get back home. He
also made some remarks about a
scheme to rob the people and aaid that
he was responsible for all he said, sod
he looked to be a man of bis word

THE KENTUCKY WAY.
North Carolina Treated Mormons
With More Politeness.
Bv Telesraph to the Press-Visitor.
Ihbz, Ky., Deo 11 Two Mormon
preachers arrived last week and be
gan secretly to establish a ohuroh,
They olalmed to be from Utah,and
believed a ohuroh could be formed
in the mountains, news of whioh
could be kept secret. Their secret
was soon ont and Indignations meet
ings followed. The Mormons were
notified they would be tarred and
feathered, if they remained. They
immediately crossed into West Vir
ginia with several converts.

TJie Owner of Pamlico Gets
Judgment for $7,700.
A KRKACH OF CONTRACT
Mr. Plurumer Batchelor Won From
the Spurre in a Kentucky Court
An Appeal Taken by Them.
Mr. Plummer Batchelor of this
oity should be a happy man He is
bajk from a trip to Kentucky where
he won a battle in tbe courts of that
newly converted Republican state
which will add to his bank account
the snug sum of $7,700
Everybody in North Carolina has
heard of tbe mighty Pamlico and
everybody who knos anything
about well bred horse Hash is aware
of tbe faot that tbe game 'it, tie stal
lion was one of the greatest horses
that ever sped the turf..
Mr. Bitohelor is a goad judge of a
horse and no one doubts' it. A man
who could pick out Pamlico when a
oolt tor tbe purchase price of $500, and
dispose of a half interest in him f jur
years later for $10,000, would be ac
credited to a position in class A at a
horse show. This is what the owner
of the onoe great Fmlioo did. He
bad some dim julty la seonriQ? that
$10,000, the half prion of the horse,
but the way seems dear bow.
Messrs. R. J. and E D. Spurr of
Kentucky bought a half interest in
the horse, only making a part piy
ment. The balance, which was the
amount contended for last week in
the Circuit Court of Kentucky was
never paid. When the Messrs
Spurr bargained f or tbe horse, they
took charge of bis oampaiga tour.
Pamlico was worked in nearly every
race that he was eligible to and by
his continuous efforts was ranked as
the gamest horse in the country.
His djath at Boston is well remen
bered. "Poisened," was the report
that was first sent out and the
demise of this ttttre "favorite was
generally mourned.
Mr. Batchelor says that the horde
was worked to death by the Spurrs
in their greed for purses. Pamlico
wa9 always willing and did not kaow
such a thing as give up
The Spurrs thought they raw a
chance to escape payment of the bal
ance due on the animal. Tbe lame
tale was put up as a defense that the
horse was not sound when sold to
them by Mr. Batohelor. It failed to
work, for twelve good men of old
Kentucky have said otherwise,
awarding Mr. Batchelor judgment
for all that he olaimed, tbe amnut of
$7,700.
Mr. Baouoior waa seen by a re
porter this morning.
"Yes," said Mr. Batchelor, "I won
my suit. The sentiment of the peo
ple, generally speaking, is against a
person from a distant State in a oase
like thie, but outside of the parties of
the opposite side, I was treated in
the cleverest manner. The people of
Lexington, the jury and the court
aoted by me as well as I could have
desired."
An appeal has been taken by the
Spurrs to the Supreme Court, but I
have little doubt but that I will
finally win my oase. Tbe judgment
is a good one and I will secure the
amount due me."
The result of the trial was consid
ered remarkable by many Kentucky
people who thought that the sympa
thy of the jury would influence them
in favor of the Spurrs on account of
their being Kentuckians.
Congratulations are in order to
Mr. Batchelor and there are many.

Erratic End ol a Mad Dog With
Peculiar Fascination.
There was a mad dog scare is tl
western portion of the elty yesterday
but tbe blood-thirsty, hydrophobia
dealing animal was exterminated b
fore any considerable damag i
done.
The doggie seeme 1 to have a pa i
liar fascination for tbe Messrs. Roylan
Sunday night the animal made a lung
for Mr. James Boylan as he waa cuter
ing his gate on returning from church
Mr. Boylan waa almost tbn wo from
hia feet, but escaped to bis house with
out receiving any impress from tbe
aggressors molars. The same uigbt
the infurialed dog pissed Mr. William
Boylan, snapping his teeth at him, but
the geatlentan brushed him away and
passed on.
ifsterday the dog made a return
visit, going to Mr. Wro. Boylan's resi
denes first. Down in the cellar a dar
key vas shovelling coal. Tbe snapping
of the dog attracted his attention and
a pair of rolling, green, glossy eyes
met his gaze. Self-defense was the first
thought that flitted through the ne
gro s over sou re Drain ana out came
hia gun. .
Two shots, and there the dug stood
uninjured and all amanition gone.
The scared victim seixed a crowbar
lylig couvientiy by and rushed to
wards ths dog, who became thor
oughly frightened at the determined
and on-rushing foe. Tbe darkey was
close behind with up lifted crowbar
A marsh the neirro slid several feet,
turned a sommersauit and landed with
his crainum baried in the mud, and
this is no joke.
Mr. Boylan had heard the racket
and wa close behind tbe pursued and
the persuer. The dog oaught tbe lead
from both barrells of Mr. Boylan's
guu while the negro was revolving his
few remaining thoughts with his bead
ouried in the mud Another mad dog
