THE PRE TISITOR -, NUMBER 8510 FA1EICH, V. C. WEDKESI'Al ETINlJiG, MAECF 1818 $4.00 PER YEAR A FUSILLADE AT A FUNERAL. The Deceased Had Never Been Under Water and a Disousskn of the Probable Destination tf His Soul Resulted In a Lively Shooting Scrap. From the Gastonla Gasette. The case of the State against Miles Washington and Frank Cathey at Dal las court this week looked simple enough on the docet, but there I . more things often In a court case than the docket ever dreams of until they are brought out. The case above mention ed resulted from an affray and shooting scrap at a colored church near Belmont not long ago. A colored brother, who wna a Metho dist, died and was buried. A large con course of friends and relatives from far near attended the obsequies to pay their last tribute of respect to the dead. The teams and wagons were on hand as at the regular church services. The ofhYe of quasi funeral orator was solemnly borne by a Baptist neighbor. Miles Washington. The grave had been filled and the mound mude, and the sad hour for the departure of the living had arrived. IJy way of consolation to the bereaved fam ily Washington gave It as his deliber ate satisfactory opinion that the soul of the deceased had "shore gone to heben." And here the trouble began. Frank Cathey, a deacon in Washington's church, in whose wool the dye was a lit tle more firmly set than it was in the orator's openly remonstrated against such rank heresy. Says he, "Hoi' on Rrer Washington: you're sayln too much; dat man was never put under de water." It required but a few more words to array the riiends of the de ceased Methodist brother and the parti sans of the Baptist orator on one side and the followers of Catey and defend ers of the faith upon the other. They Boon mixed up and pistols and rocks were brought quickly Into requisition. In the fusillade the orator was, of course, disposed to make peace if pos sible, for it was no proper occasion for a deadly conflict. Hut Washington may tell his ow n stury : "I tole 'em ft was no proper Yasion for such a fusr, and I didn't want noth ln' to do wld It: but I didn't keer noth ln' about deir shootin' a little ontwell dey got to shootin' todes my mule. Den I hoops out my pistol, fer dey. was shootin' right todes my mule: Dat uz when dey come i n me and killed me twice dead twice dead didn't kno-.v nothln'! Fust time I wuz ever knocked down In my life. Den when I come to I wuz 'saulted four times four times. See dat, and dat. and dat showing knots on his head and face: and look er here turning his upper lip like a bologna sausage against his nnre and dey preslng his hands dejectedly against his tuminy hit me a turrlble here." Meanwheile the fuslllnde kept vigor ously on. Ab bullets and other missiles went (lying hither and thither, the spectators and combatants did likewise. Some dodged behind trees, or teams, or wagons, and others found shelter be hind tombstones: while no denial has yet come to hand that some of the dusky warriors lay behind the more re cently made grave mound and, thus protected, delivered battle to their op ponents across these strange bieast works. The tumult and the shouting dies. The noise of battle Is hushed, the war riors are now departed, und white winged peace hovers over the lately dls tuihed city of the dead. Washington and Cathey have been hauled Into court and have received their respective sen ences: but where the soul of the de ceased Is that is st III a disputed point. WOMAN BURGLAR. She Enters a Dwelling and Carries Away a Trunk. An usual burglary has Just occurred In this county, says the Goldsboro Ar gus. One Rachel Smith, a colored wo man of this city, was for a time em ployed at the above Institution, during which time she made the acquaintance of the family of James Mclver. an In dustrious old colored man of the neigh borhood. Rachel made occasional vis Its to Mclver's family since she left the asylum's employ, one of these visits be ing made last Friday. Friday night some one entered Mclver's home, while he and family were asleep, and stole therefrom his trunk, containing $126, and a new axe. In the field near by the trunk was found next morning smashed and the money gone. This morning at the home of Rachel Smith In this city, the missing axe was found and J65 dol lars In money, which answers In de nominations to that lost by Mclver. Rachel Smith had a hearing before Justice Hugh Humphrey and Is now In Jail to await a hearing at 10 o'clock to morrow on the double charge of bur glary and larceny, the former being a capital offense. WOMAN ORATOR. Follows Demosthenes' Example but Used Pins Instead of Pebbles. 'I am very much troubled," said John 8. Wise, of Virginia, to a Washington Post reporter, as he walked across the rotunda of the capltol yesterday after noon. "I attended a session of the Daugh ters of the Revolution," continued Mr. Wise, "and only one of the ladles who made an address had the several sheets which contained her remarks carefully pinned together. As she proceeded with her speech she would detach a sheet and put the pin her mouth. Then she would detach another sheet and put ftnother pin n her mouth She kept this up for several minutes, and yet he continued talking: all the time. I want to know what ibecame of those pins. She certainly did not swallow them, and she did not remove them from her mouth. The thing was a mys- tery to me at the time, and It im a mystery yet" FUNERAL TOMORROW MlUIl VictilllS 0 be Buried Willi Honors (OUUTOF INQUIRY Congress May ('ensure Sccretnry l.oiifi for His Kec-nt ( ttcrauces-Sherman and ttcHlnlev also Indiff- nant over the Matter. j By Telejrraph tn (he Press-Visitor. j Key West.

A special to the Charlote Observer from Morganton says: Considerable excitement was caused here today by a report that an old man and a boy were found hanged in a cave in the miles west of here. About three wWks ago an old man and a small boy moved into the settlement near Table Rock, and occupied a small cabin at the foot of the mountain. On being questioned by some of the mountain people the old man said that he had married an Indian Wiuaw in the western part of the State, and that the boy with him was the product of that union. He had some trouble with the Indians, and was driven out of the Indian nation, and bringing the boy w ith him, settled here in liurke. This is practically all that is known of them. Yesterday morning a mountaineer named Itranch found the bodies of the old man and the child In a cave near their cabin, dead, with ropes about their necks, evidently having died from the effects of strangulation. Whether it is murder or suicide is not known. MARRIED. .Mr. S'th Jimfs Takes LTnto Himself a Uride. l.;ist nislit about 8:30 Rev. Dr. A. M. Si in ins pronounced Mr. Seth A.
