Marshal Jordan Fired on from Ambush ACT OF MOONSHINERS Jordan Wont i Servo Old Warrant Pound His Man at a Ulockade SI ill, Prom Which He Ran, Hut Returned With a Shotgun Offi cers to Raid the Neighborhood. Deputy United States Marshal J. 1!. Jordan was painfully but not dan gerously shot late yesterday af ternoon about five miles oast, of Youngsvillo while out looking for a man for whom he had a warrant charging him with operating a block ade distillery seveVal months ago. While looking for the man lie wanted to arrest the officer came upon him at work in another illicit distillery the exisience of which was not generally known. The man ran :::!!'. .Ionian and his companion, Will .Moore, son of Sheriff Moore of the county, proceeded o seize the still, j They had loaded it on the buggy and turned back into the mam road when someone lired from ambush twice in quick succession. When the second shot was tired the man showed him self and the deputy marshal recog nized him as the man for whom he had the warrant and who had just ran away from the still. One of the shots took effect in Jordan's face. -The load was iNo. ti shot, about squirrel size, and nine of them were buried in the officer's face. One just back of the ear pene trated about an inch and a half and together with three others have not been removed. One which entered close by the nose came out later through the nostril. The man re loaded his shotgun and lired three more shots as he ran away. Fortu nately none of the others took ef fect. Jordan drove to his home at Cary hist night and had his wounds dressed and came on to Raleigh this morning to report the affair at the office of the United States marshal mid the United States commissioner. A posse of revenue officers and dep uty marshals, including Deputy Jor dan, will go this afternoon or tomor row morning in search of a number of parties who are believed to be implicated in that blockading and others offences which have led to the shooting of Jordan. WOMEN BOUND OVER TO COURT. (By the Associated Tress.) London. Oct. 24. Woman suf fragists who were arrested yesterday for rioting in the precincts of the house of 'commons were arraigned in a police court today and bound over to keep the peace for six months. Such a commonplace outcome of the affair did not meet the views of the suffragists, who apparently desired tc assume the roles of martyrs by being committed to jail, and when the magistrate announced his de cision a great uproar broke out in the court-room and ultimately the women had to be removed by force. Some of thefli were literally thrown out among the crowds waiting out side the building. The shrieking woin.cn continued to make a demonstration outside the pn liee Court until Miss Pnnkhurst, who took a prominent part In the distur bances in the ladies gallery ill the house cif commons In April, was again arrested. Some of the women who had been temporarily locked In an ante room by the police had a momentary revenge. They managed to secure a key and re leased themselves but were again lock ed in by their jailor who walked off with the key. When the disturbances had some what subsided the police reassembled the defendants who were then Inform ed by, the magistrate that they must immediately find sureties for their good brhavior or be imprisoned for two months. The whole ten women refused to enter Into recognizances and M ere removed in custody. JEWS PLEASED WITH STRAUSS. (By the Asociated Press.) New York, Oct. 24. "President Roosevelt's proposed appointment of Mr. Strauss to a place in his cabinet is most gratifying," said Jacob H. Scliiff today. "It Is a singular and very agreeable coincidence that, the announcement comes almost simul taneously with that of the appoint ment of General Picquart, who cham pioned Dreyfus, to the portfolio of war in the new French cabinet. "I take it that Mr. Strauss' ap pointment is not only a well deserved compliment to the man and his quali fications, but at the same time a de sire on the part of the president to recognize the good citizenship of the Jews of the United States."

AT CO. HEADQUARTERS Millard Mial Talks of the Canvass, Crowds Better, He Thinks, in This Kind of Weather Than on Fair Days Secretary Leach Speaks of Increased Interest in the Registra tion Cotton Crops. Mr. Millard Mial, democratic can didate for the house of representa tives from this county, was at county headquarters this morning, and said that so far as he could see things were very satisfactory politically throughout the county; that all the meetings he had attended were per fectly harmonious. He added that he believed the crowds were better dur ing this rainy weather than in fair weather, for the reason that on good days many of the farmers would stay at home to attend to their crops. At, Wendell yesterday the crowd was pretty good. Mr. Mial said. To day the candidates are at Leesville and tonight at Cary. Tomorrow they will be at Auburn and tomorrow night, at Garner. Secretary Leach said today that there had been more interest in the last few days in the registration, and he considered this very encouraging for the size of the vote. Speaking of the cotton situation, Mr. Mial said lie considered the situ ation very serious for the crop. What late crop the frost caught will be a total loss from rot, and what is in tiie field now is very inferior. Mr. Mial said he had never seen the con ditions as they are now. When the cotton is picked in many instances the hull and all comes with it, the hull having rotted from the constant rains. Then, too, in many of the partially opened bolls the seed are sprouting. Things like this happen often at the far south, but are very rare in this part of the country. GIRL LOST IN II (By lh' Associated Press.) ninghatn. Ala., Oct. 24. Mis.

Chose Death Rather Than Desert His Schannnr HIS FATE NOW IN DOUBT When Help Was at Hand He De clined to Desert, and ftnv Stuck bjr Him Floating off the Florida Const Trying to Reach Cuba Wal lowing ill the Deep Seas. (By the New York c out in the Associated Press.) , Oct. 24. Sbmewher Atlantic, off the Florid coast, half a the roof of dozen men perched or. the after-housf of the Sirocco Hid sea waterlogged British sehoner are struggling against wind to reach a Cuban port with their almost, helpless charge. The plight of the men is due in part to the heroic devotion of their captain, who. when help was at hand, chose to face death rather than abandon his ship and her cargo of lumber. He de clined an offer of assistance from the steamer Parlma. which ran down to him last Sunday when she was wal lowing in the seas six hundred miles east of Florida. The captain asked only that he he given supplies to re place those which were ruined when his ship tilled with water. When this request was granted, the captain and his crew settled down in their pre carious quarters on the roof of the after-house and announced their de termination to sail the Sirocco to Cuba. The Sirocco sailed from St. John, N. B., September 27, with a cargo of lumber for Cardenas. All went well until October 5,. when off tha coast of Maryland she ran into a fear ful hurricane. Pounded and battered by wind and sea, the Sirocco- was thrown about like a cork, some of her seams were ripped open, and she be gan to fill. Before the storm had abated, her hull was filled, her decks awash and the deck houses were floated. All the stores f8r the voyage which were in the hoitscjwere ruined by sea water and the men were in a sad plight when the Parima hove in sight, with the aid ot the provis ions supplied by the Parima, how ever, they expressed a hope to bt able to reach Cuba in safety. The Sirocco is owned by Troop & Son of St. John, N. B. GAS EXPLOSION AT BEAUFORT (Special to the Evening Times) New Bern, N. C, Oct. 24.

TIMES STORY CORRECT Car Line Elusion Depends Upon the People .Mr. Caw, '(.'en ColTO-lllC'S TtacsX: i Course, For rii Manager, Admits ;:' Article in Evening Responsible, of Headlines. -Mr. Carr, general manager of the street car system, when asked by a representative of The Evening Times today in regard to the local article in the morning paper, admitted that he had stated in was published in conversation what l'he Evening Times Carr, however, as on Monday. AI r most people know. was in no way re- sponsible for the headlines. That article was as follows: When asked how soon the pro posed belt line and extension of the street car and electric light systems would he completed, one of the of ficers of the company said today: "I cannot loll. In making our plans for the extension of the sys fcem, we did not calculate upon hav ing to meet the municipal ownership question. Of course it would be folly for us to go on and spend a lot of money on the system if the city is to force us to sell out at a ruinous price, or force such a re duction of rates as to make its opera tion a losing business. Matters are in such shape at present that 1 can not say what or when extension, will be made, if at all. We are able to put these things through if the atti tude of the people of Raleigh is such as to justify it, hut what is finally done will depend entirely upon them." KNITTING MILL FOR ZEBULON.

CAROLINA TEAM READY FOR GAME Great Battle of Year to be Fought Saturday TAR HEELS CONFIDENT Struggle On Gridiron At Richmond Saturday Takes Place of Virginia Carolina Game Klevens Finely Matched and Chapel Hill Predicts a Triumph How They Played Heretofore. (Special to The Evening Times.) Chapel Hill, N. C Oct. 24. The University of North Carolina recog nizes the match with V. P. I., in Richmond, Saturday, as taking the place, to an extent of the annual contest wiih Virginia, and in prepa ration for the death struggle that is inevitable, the squad is training this week as it has not trained before this season. The Tar Heels do not ex pect a walk-over, nor even a liberal score, but they are confident of bringing home the honors. Coach Kienholtz has surmounted a number of discouraging obstacles in putting out this year's team. One of the principal of these as Is finite generally known was the ab sence of old players. Of the eleven who suffered defeat at the hands of the plucky Virginians last year, only two will be in the game Saturday. Practically all of the players are new lo the game but they are a gritty, determined, hard-playing lot. This was made apparent in the game with the Pennsylvanians, whom they forced to light, for every inch of dis tance in the Philadelphia game. Since there will be no Virginia Carolina game, quite a number of students will follow the team to Richmond Saturday to do their part on the side lines. The team will probably line-up as follows: Centre, Rogers, weight 150 pounds; right guard, Morrow, 220; left guard, K. A. Thompson, 170; right tackle, J. M. Thompson, 170; left tackle, Songletary, 160; right end, Pittman, 150; left end, Davis, 155; right half back, McNeill, 162; left half back, Uunlap , 163; full back. Story, ISO; quarter back, Mann, LIU. When the lightness of the men and (he hard games recently are consid ered it is a cause of some wonder that the team is in splendid condi tion. Captain Story has made an excel lent record this year by his goal kicking, tine defensive work and line-plunging. Mann has used good judgment for a new player in hand ling the team, and on the defense, las always protected his goal from ill who leaked through the line or escaped the ends. McNeill's strength lies in his ability to make distance around the ends. He has made sev eral brilliant runs this season. Dun lap, who is gritty enough and a hard worker, has played in bad luck. Davis makes a specialty of wonder ful tackles and uses his head to good tdvantage in anticipating the other's sides plays. Singletary is swift, liiick and hard-worker. Morrow's weight is enough to make htm an invincible guard. 10. A. Thompson, though a new man, plays an ever ready and determined game, J. M. Thompson, one of the old men, is in all-around player, who has been found formidable by many an oppon nt. Rogers and Pittman have been denied the chance to do any bril liant playing, are expected to take advantage of I he ttrst opportunity. The score of V. P. I. and Carolina since they Hist played against each other in 1895 are as follows: 1S95- V. P. L, 5; Carolina, 22. 1N!6 V. I'. 1., 0; Carolina. 0. 1897 V. P. I., 4; Carolina, 0. 1S98 V. P.
