Will Manly Met a Horrible
Death on the Railroad.
WAS IT FOUL PLAY ?
Supposition Is that Manly Stepped off the
Seaboard Track and Was Caught by
The Southern's Shifting Engine- - .
Oeonrred Near Penitentiary.
Willatn Manly, a mulatto 26 years
of age, met death early this morning
oh the track of the Southern Rail
way Company at a point beyond the
penitentiary and about 800 feet west
of the. 89, milp post. ' -
Whether young Manly, a paper
hanger by trade, was foully dealt
with and his body thrown on the
railroad track for the purpose of
having it appear thatthe train killed
him, or whether he was killed out
right by the train is a matter of
some speculation. The first theory
1s not generally accepted.
At any rate the body of the negro
is most horribly mutilated and dis
figured, and as it lay in the ware
bouse of the Southern railway this
morning on a truck, presented a most
frightful and repulsive appearance.
The head which was entirely severed-
from tha body, lay . near the
feet, in an upright position. The
wheel of the engine passed over the
poor main's mouh, leaving the lower
part of the jaw and chin clinging to
the neck. The head was bruised and
indented and on the right side there
was a hole below the ear. The right
foot was badly mashed and cut.
It was about 2:45- this morning
when engineer R. Y. Mebane, who
runs the Southern railway shifting
'engine, felt his engine passing over
some object. He had ' just
helped a heavy freight off to
wards Greensboro and was returning
. to the city. When he felt the jar
he stopped his engine. To his sur
prise he found the body of the dead
man.. The bead had .rolled off the
track down the embankment soma
little distance and the body was ly
ing in the middle of the track. Mr.
Mebane, Mr. G. W. Currie the con
ductor' and Jeff Mitchell tho fire
man, all failed to see arty object
ahead of the engine.
The body and the severed head
were taken aboard the train and
brought to the city.
As the Southern engine ran over
the negro, the Seaboard vestibule'
coming in an opposite direction
passed by the Southern train. The
natural supposition would be that
Manly was walking on the Seaboard
track and seeing a Seaboard train
approaching, stepped on the South
erns track, possibly directly in front
of the tatter's engine, and was run
over. The idea has also been ad
vanced that Manly might have been
knocked on the Southern's track by
the Seaboad vestibule.
It has been developed that Manly
drank at times and when he was
ran over this morning had a pint of
whiskey on his person. The bottle
was broken in ' the accident and
when the train crew picked up the
body, the clothes were .saturated
with whiskey. '
. . Manly was in Woodard s saloon at
10 o'clock- Mr. Woodard says that
Madly was not drunk then and he
.does not remember whether he sold
him liquor or not. Thos. Burns, a
cplored man, says he left Manly, at
twelve o'clock, "and that he was
very drunk then.- He says Manly
told him where he was going and He.
advised him, to , go the county road
and not the railroad. , This be pro
mised to do. -
Manly 'told Burns that he was
going to Fannie- Roger's house.
Fannie, is a married woman and lives
on the railroad near, the fairgrounds.
- On Manlv'a person a note was found
addressed to him by the Rogers wo.
man.- It was written in a rather
illegible band on a dirty piece of
note paper and' read as follows:
"Mr Manlie if you please send. me
one 12 of oranges and 12 apples and
banners and a pound of candle and
- - something stronger eatber-some bear
or one, -- ;
"Mrbv Fahmib Rogers,
' - - "West Raleigh."
, . Fannie denies, .writing the note,
Her suspicious husband does not
jMhk the land writing is that of bis
wife. .- . .
On Manly 's person the oranges,
.Doles, bananas and whiskey,' which
Fannie bad asked for, were all
found.
The question of foul play entered
' into the traced v this evening. Levi
Pope, a colored man, says be saw
-Martin and another man standing at
the point where the train ran over
mm. ne says martin ana tne per
son with him were quarreling'. Did
Martin's -lonesome' companion slay
him and then throw his body on the
track?
' The question has been - asked
where was Fannie Rogers' husband?
' Tho railroad turned the body over
to the county. Manly lived at the
corner of Martin and ' East streets
with his mother, Phoebe Manly. He
worked for Mr. F. a. Watson and
was an expert paper hanger. Re
worked regularly.

DIED AT ASHEVILLE
Mark Henna's Mother Passed Away this
Morning.

Cleveland, April 16. A telegram
was received tnis morning irom
Asheville. N. C, stating, that the
mother of Senator Hanna died of
pneumonia at tho age of eighty-four.
The McAdoo at Greensboro Closed.
The Greensboro Record of yester
day says'
The McAdoo House was closed to
day by Capt.- Fisher, who leased it
little over two years ago. The
stipulation was made in the contract
that this might be done whenever it
was demonstrated that' it could not.
be run without loss,' but the closing
of the house does not release the
Captain from the payment of the
rental. To an outsider it looks very
much as if one W. D. McAdoo has
ihe big end of the whiffle tree in the
bout. The sura of $2800 a year just
to keep his house closed up, while
be gets all the ground rentals, seems
like a pretty goo's sum. However,
no one in this country enjoys it
more than this gentleman. Having
leased the beautiful . Kjrkpatrick
residence on Asheboro street, he
will now retire on a competency, al
though it . will no doubt be a great
temptatipn to him to sell a mule oc
casionally. Greece Apologliedi

Judge Adams; Decides the
Asylum Cages Today,
AN APPEAL TAKEN
The- Complaint of the Defendants Over
ruled- and Ruaaeir Directors Get a
Temporary Set Hack John K.
Smith Loses One of ills Ueada.
The old directors of three Insane
Asylums at Raleigh, Morgan ton and
Goldsboro won a deoided victory to
day urirl'the-indications are that the
present exceedingly efficient set of
officials of thesa institutions, who
have the care of the unfortunate in
sane, will continue to manage.
Judge Spencer B.Adams today
r.edered. a decision setting aside the
complaint of the new trustees ap
pointed by Governor Russell, and
taxed them with tho costs.
The plantiffs, through their coun
sel Mr. J. C. L. Harris, immediately
made an appeal to the Supreme
court, .
It will be interesting to observe
that Judge Adams, who is a repub
lican, gives a decision in favor of
the democratic boards as against re
publican-populist boards
There were three decisions, there
being three distinct cases.
The cases were entitled: State on
relation of Dr. P. John and others
vs. J 0 Bellamy and others; V S
Lusk vs. J P Sawyer: Rufus Ham
vs J FSoutherlahd.
The following decision was ren
dered in each of the cases:
'This cause coming on to be heard
upon an agreed statemjut of facts
and the complaint and answer, and
theucourt being of opinion against
the right of the rolatoi'.i or any of
them to recover, and so holding, it
is tnereupon considered and ad
judged that this action be dismissed,
and that the defendants go without
day and recover their cost to be
taxed by the clerk."
In the Eastern asylum case it is
further considered aud adjudged
that the defendant, John R. Smith,
by accepting the office of superin
tendent ot the state prison has va
cated the ofl'ce of trustee or director
of the state insane asylum near Ral
eigh. Dr. J. W- Long Returns to North Carolina.
Dr.. J W Long who went to Rich
mond years ago froai Randleman, N
j., to take the chair of Gynecology
n'the Medical college of Virginia,
has been prevailed upon by his
friends in North Carolina to return
to his native state, for the purpose
of establishing a hospital at High
Point and engaging in a general
surgery practice throughout the
stato, Speaking -of his return Rev
E L Pell, editor of the Richmond
Bible Reader writes: ' No man who
has settled in this city within my
knowledge has risen more rapidly
than Dr Long, and bis remarkable
success in his specialty (the diseases
of women and children) has won lor
him a multitude of friends, includ-
ng our best physicians, throughout
the Old Dominion, many of whom
have protested earnestly against his
leaving. 1 was one of the protest-
ants, but now that the matter is
settled my only concern is to see
him cordially welcomed on his re
turn. I regard Dr. Long as one of
the biggest of all tho North Carolina
boys' that have -made -a name for
themselves abroad, Richmond has
not been slow to recognize his abili- J
ties' " '
Pardon Granted.
Governor Russell today granted a

are fortunate. We have over here
two or three little factories of some
kind, and each one is one is sup
plied with a screcchingarrangement
called a steam whistle. About 5:30
o'dock-a. m..the whistles begin to
lefc-us know by a prolonged screech
that tbejr are getting ready for busi
ness and must wake up their hands.
Acother lengthy screech at C, again
at 6:15, at 0:30 and 7 o'c'ock. By
this tinle they have.brokenthe restof

which should not be tolerated any
