The reports nave Deen aggravaicu somewhat but there has been a good deal of worry over the unexplained viistation. There is no fear of a spread. The Durham Traction Company has begun this week a free perform ance of the park players and the ca sino both nights has been crowded. The largest crowds that ever went to the park were those of Monday night, when the first performance was given. There were 1,500 people there. Up to the present, the down town attractions have run off with the park theatricals. All the electric theatres have shut down for the sum mer with the exception of the Arcade and it is now bucking the Lakewood free performance. They cost the same, the Lakewood plays costing the price of car tickets and the mov ing pictures and vaudeville t'n cents. The war" between the two will be of interest. The Hobgood's shoe store stock was sold yesterday afternoon and Mr. A. W. Woods became the pur chaser at $1,900. Mr. Woods is really a Granvillian but lives in 'Lyons, Durham county. he takes over a business that has had ! hard luck for want of capital and will J put collection in their proper plncr.

Mr. Hobgood will be con-! nected with him in the sales depart ment. The Sun has a city man in the per son of Mr. Irving Cheek, formerly with The Times. He began his ser vice Monday afternoon and is doing good work. The East Durham cotton mills will most likely begin work again today after an enforced idleness of several days, Inspector J. J. McCurry came yes terday and looked over the new boil ers that had bulged in a way to make the owners uneasy. They were afraid to proceed with their work until the inspector came along and declared them all right. He worked upon them yesterday and the trouble was soon adjusted. Dr. A. Cheatham has received from the Granville commissioners quite a boost in his good, roads movement, the main object of the physician be ing to get a string of good roads con necting neighboring counties and in cidentally land upon the national highway between Washington and Atlanta. ' The Granville commissioners will get five miles of that county in good shape and Durham will have nine teen mils one way and about thirty one another for any . course that comes any reasonable way Durham wards. Dr. Cheatham thinks Dur ham has the best route for the na tional turnpike, declaring that the line by this city to Apex through Ox ford would make th? best possible route to Atlanta. President Tufts, of1 the commission, likes Durham and! has said so publicly. Had Been Making Daily Trips and tbe Xcvtsimper Men Lay in Wait for Him Last Night and Witnessed a Flight of the Machine Then Pol lowed the Inventor- to a Farm House uud Sliced (led in Getting an Interview He is Ralph T. Jenkins, a Cai'iK'nter of New York Guards His Invention Closely and Would Not Allow Anyone Within Twenty rive Feet of it. Tortured on a Horse. "For ten years I couldn't ride a horse without being in torture from piles," writes L. S. Napier, of Ruglesa, Ky., ' when all doctors and other remedies failed, Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured me."

Y., July 14 Another successful but modest aero planist has been run down by local newspaper men. For more than a month it had been reported that a Hying machine was making almost daily trips on the opposite side of the Hudson river, about a miia or two above this village. Armed with a telescope, two re porters lay in wait last night and af ter witnessing a flight of the machine, succeeded in locating it and its in ventor at a farm house. The nicjn were much wrought up when the newspaper men's automobile stopped, ordering the strangers to 'go on about their business." After some persuas ion, however, the inventor said he was Ralph T. Jenkins and that he lived in New York. He is a carpen ter and his brother a machinist. The flying machine is syventy-five feet long and consists of two box-like parts twenty feet square and covered with canvas. In each of these is held a large bag which is filled with com pressed air. Connecting with two boxes is a channel covered with can vas, and here the motors are located. In this compartment also the oper ators ride. Two large fans looiting exactly like electric fans, only having arms measuring about seven feet in length and three feet wide, ara fas tened at the extreme ends of the de vice, but are arranged to work op posite to vach other. One of the fans, said Mr. Jenkins, drives the machine ahead .and t he other is used to reverse it. A similar fan wheel under the car When court began this morning at i) : :i 0 a few minor cases were disposed of and the case of State vs. Courtney Jeffreys .assault with intent to com mit rape, was taken up. The trial of the case took up about one hour. Miss Marie Curtice, the sixteen- year-old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Cooper Curtice, the victim of the as sault, was the first witness for the state. Miss Curtice showed great self-possession on the witness stand and told the story in a simple, straightforward way. She said that she was going through the woods be yond Cameron's field when she and her brother encountered the negro. He picked her up in his arms and carried her screaming into the woods. Her little brother, aged eleven, ran for help and when the negro heard men coming he turned her loose and ran. She said that the negro wore a cap, a blue shirt and tan shoes and swbre that the prisoner was the man who attacked her. Little Sauger Curtice, eleven years old, told his story in quite a manly way. He was not at all nervous and made a good witness. Esquire A. H. Yearby was put on the stand to explain an elaborate map of the scene of the crime and tell of the circumstances which led to the anvst of Jeffreys. The other wit nesses were colored people and their evidence was such that there was no escaping the conclusion that Jeffreys was the guilty man. They told of s eing Jeffreys enter the woods a lit tle while before the commission of the crime and then told of seeing him leaving the woods hurriedly after the crinia was committed. Xo evidence was introduced by the defendant and no attack was made on tiie testimony of the state's wit nesses. The case was submitted without argument, Col. J. C. L. Har ris entering the plea that, while his client was guilty of an assault, tht intent to commit rape had not been s.iown. Judge Allen delivered a fair and impartial charge to the jury and it retired, returning after a. few min utes' absence, with a verdict of guilty as charged in the bill of indictment Before sentence was passed Solici tor Jones called Judge Allen's atten tion to the fact that Jeffreys was con victed of a similar offense in the same woods six years ago and because of his youth was let off with one year on the roads. Judge Allen then gave Jeffreys the limit, sending him to the penitentiary for fifteen years. Lewis Crawford, charged with sell ing whiskey, pleaded guilty but told the judge a story about buying the whiskey for his friends from a stran ger. Judge Allen told him that he would not pass sentence on him now hut would give him a chance to find the man he got the whiskey from and required a $100 bond for his ap pearance in court from day to day. In the Olive blind tiger case the jury came in before noon and re ported that there was no change In their position. Eleven were on one side and one obstinately holding out for the opposite view of the matter. It is rumored that eleven were for conviction and one against, but this report could not be verified. John Battle and Ben Sharp were tried for an affray. Battle was con victed and given three months on the roads. Bryant Freeman pleaded guilty of assault with a deadly weapon and was fined $10 and costs. Murphy Atwater, Charley Cham blee and Johnny Norwood, negro boys, were found guilty of stealing brasses and lead from residences. Judgment was reserved. Cicero Shearin pleaded guilty to the charge of perjury in swearing to the age of a girl in securing mar riage license. Judgment was reserved.

It was agreed not to meet again until Friday, when another adjournment will be taken until Monday, wh-n it is expected that the conferees on the tariff toil I will be able to submit a report. The tariff conferees were in session again this morning and continued their work, taking up the amend ments in order as they appear in the various schedules. Practically all of the, minor amendments have been disposed of, and the conferees will soon reach the point where the im portant differences between the two houses occurred. Members of the conference commit tee are keeping in close touch with the president and consulting with him on questions of importance in order to reach an agreement which will be satisfactory to the chief executive. Senator Aldrich has had prepared a comparative statement showing the reduction made in the pending bill from the existing law by which he seeks to show that the revision has been in accordance with the pledges of the republican party. Senator La follette in the senate today asked and obtained permission to have printed in the documents another compara tive statement which he claims will demonstrate the contrary of what Senator Aldrich asserls.

They had received infor mation that she had brought into this country at ' various times jewels worth more than $80,000 upon which there was no record of duty paid, and began an investigation. Mrs. Abbott said that she had brought about $87,- O00 in jewelry to tills country from Europe. She made three trips, land ing In Baltimore in 1893, at New York in 1897, and at San Francisco in 1901.
