Captured A Her Many Desperate Situations Shot State Officer Perry In the Arm. J. 3. Lyda, who stands 6 feet in his socks, weighs 180 pounds, a mar derer, escaped onviot and outlaw was brought to the Penitentiary this mornlrJK by Capt. Corpeningof Hen derson. Lyda will bs pat in irons, so that an eeoape In the future is not probable. Lyda was sentenced to the Peni tentiary in '88 for a term of ten years for manslaughter. He served 3 1-9 years and effected an eEoape, going directly to his mountain home where he has been living in open dtfianoe of the law ever since. It has been a currant remark in Henderson county that John Lyda boasted that he oould not be taken alive. He has made two orops and worked in his field with a Winches ter swung to his shoulder withcut molestation. Tbe Sheriff of the county was aware of the fact, but made no effort to arrest the man. Special Agent Perry.Capt. Cor pen- ing and three other men started Sun day morning to Lydi's home, 16 miles from a settlement, with -the avowed purpose of takiog the des perado, dead or alive. Sunday night they felt for their positions and early Monday morning these Ave deputies of tbe law surrounded Lyda's house, a one story struoture, by ' concealing them selves in the bushes. Lyda emerged from the house early in the morning, bat did not get far beyond bis threshold. One of Lyda's broth ers came upon the sceca at the timeand espied the officers. As the brother approached Lyda, tbe officers rushed out, bat the outlaw was in the house before ho could be intercepted. Officer Perry ran up to a window and was peeping in, when he was shot in the left shoulder by Lyda. The bone was shattered. Perry waa not seri ously wounded and showed remark able nerve by keeping his head and directing the capture. Capt Corpening says as soon aa Perry was shot, 15 or 20 relative of Lyda, most of them being brothers and sister?, gathered apsn the eoene. Two stalwarts made a dash for the house, bat the c doers halted them and relieved them of their arms. Capt Corpening warned them if they made any further attempt to enter the house they would he fired upon. About this time, Mrs Lyda ap peared from the oornor of the house with a gun levelled at the offioers. The situation was desperate, for there were five men surrounded by desperate mountaineers. 'Drop that gun cried," Capt. Corpening. "You drop yours" hollered tbe woman. She wished toattraotthe attention of all cfttoers from the other party, but this did not "go" and she soon let her gun down. Capt Corpening then stated to Mrs. Lyda that if her husband did not surrender, the house would be fired and Lyda shot if he attempted flight - A brief consultation on the inside and Lyda stepped from the front door with his hands high up in the air. He soon began to ory and all the women folks gathered around and followed suit The off! sera were very careful, lor they did not know what move L J da's friends would make to effect his esoape.Lyda was handcuffed and hustled off to Hendersonville 15 miles distant His wife, children and neioea went along to bid him goodbye. r Thli Is Capt Corpenings seoond visit to Raleigh, When he was here before It waa In 'M; then he was 16 wears old and a member of the 1st N.

The Faithful City Employee Dies in Bed orifeart Disease The people of this oity will see no more the familiar face of old Tom Wiggins, the deaf mute colored man who for nearly thirty years his been employed by the oity, in some 0 tpa city. For, although he worked bard on the streets all d ty yesterday, be is dead this morning. About fonr o'olook some member of the old fellow's lamily beard him call out, and ran to his bedside. He straggled freely for a moment, gave s asp or two and waa dead. So to morrow there will be a little funeral; and no more will be beard of a man, who, though- humble and of an in ferior raoe, is yet entitled to honor in that he did his lowly duties well and faithfully and, in spite of his af fliotian, so earned tbe confidence of the city authorities that for nearly thirty years he haa had constant employment as a oily emyloyee There is something me'ancboly to Southern people in tbe death of an old slave; with the passing of these respectful old darkies there comes 1 the thought that not only the inoi-' dents, but the aotors in the Soutb's bittle for liberty will have passed into history.

The first official news of the "big hunting" came to band last night in the form of a telegram and today, in a letter, both of whioh communica tions were from Col. Frederick Olds. Following is the telegram, dated th12th: "We came up this after noon from South port aDd expect to leave tomorrow morning for New River, Onslow county on special train, on hunt. All well" The Pbsss-Visitob learn i that the game thus far bagged by the party consists of two ducks, two coons and a hawk. This Information the Colo nol wrote back. Judge MaoRae, when he was told that the party was bound for New River, said : "Ah, that is indeed a beautiful country- I have traveled pretty much all over the State, but I have seen nothing to compare with that view of a stretoh of water fifteen miles wide, at a kind of estuary on (bat river. The water view is lovely, and all around from the water the dark woods rise up, iu hills al most This makes retting of beauty that cannot be equaled anywhere. In the fall, the waters are often covered with wild fowl," All of which would Indicate that that the party of distinguished hunt er la fated to have better sport, if the powder keeps dry and eyes straight and nerves steady. v ' ...

Lines of Wards and Townships Must Nol be Disregarded. There has been a good deal of fric tion and misunderstanding rela'ive to the eifablishuunt of election pre cincts as required by an a -t of tbe last Legislature, and the Caucteian in the current issu- presents views taken by ei Judge Spier Whitakrr, which were coincided with by members of tbe Supreme Court sod others as to the intent of the set. The clerks of the Supreme Court, who have th- mat ter of locating tbe precincts seem to be non plnssed, aa very few agree as to the meaning of the law. The matter H one whieh affects the entire voting population of North Carolina. These places of election must be es tablishsd by the Clerk of tbe Court by the 8th of March '96, one year from the ratification of the act of tbe Gen eral Assembly. Judge Whitiker and the other law- yers, in elucidating tbe law, state there ahould not be more than 350 electors in each precinct; that clerks should not be guided by voting books. but by registration books, fur a voter is an elector, but an elector may never have voted. In establishing voting precincts. sob divisions of oounties into town ships, citiee, villages, wards, etc , must be considered. It is held that voting prsclnct cannot, nnder the aw, be ao established as to include a pert of a town and a part of the conn- ry, a part of one ward and a part of another ward, a part in uue township and a part in another township; but each precinct must be entirely in the country, oity, tnn or incorporated village or ward. In o'.her words, boundary lines of wards and precincts eannot be disre garded. If there are 450 voters in one ward and 250 in another, a part of the 450 voters can not be added to the 250. The 250 voters remain, but tbe 450 voters sre divided into two pre cincts. Clerks are advised to attend to this matter wlthont further delay, so as to prevent undue haste and confusion RAILROADS SLASH KATKH Round Trips to Atlanta Only One Half Regular Kale One Way.

At the Union depot yesterday aUerti03n a reporter ran against Mr Templeton, aspirant for Post Offl )a honors at Cary. "It is not a oontest between Miss Wa'do and myself, but between my self and pjpulists. Mrs. Howland is a populist, and so is Miss Waldo.' Mr. Templeton went on to cite several little incidents, whioh shows that politics wag the world even down to Cary and it post-office . Along in this oonneotion a reporter was told an interesting little tid-bit of fact this morning in regard to post-masters. Yesterday's article referied to a past mistress.
