In the course of a long editorial
on the South Mr. Bryan says in his
paper: "As time goes on the ani
mosities aroused between '61 and '65
are disappearing, and the people,
north and south, are able to recog
nize what they did not recog
nize immediately, namely, that the
soldiers on both sides fought with
equal bravery in defense of convic
tions equally honest and sincere."
This ought to silence papers like the
Charlotte Observer which repeated
ly charge Mr. Bryan with being an
enemy to Confederate soldiers.

by which railroads dominated the

he demanded rule by the people. He
had always been a straight Demo

ers fell by the way, Montague's
voice rung out slear and strong for
Bryan and. true Democracy. His
hope for the future is to keep the

British Flag Pulled Down.
Vancouver, B. C, Dispatch, 29th.
The steamer Islander, from

ing flag episode at Skagway.

E. S
agent
there, acting on instructions from
Ottawa, hoisted the British flag on
a pole above his orhce. beveral in
cendiary remarks followed the hoist
insr of the ensign and on the follow
ing morning a tall, athletic looking
man glanced up at the nag, and
stopping at the foot of the staff,
took out his pocket knife and cutting
the halyards pulled down tne nag
and ran the halyards through the
block, rolled up the colors and toss
ed them into a recess of the build
ing. The man was George Miller, a
brother of Joaquin Miller, the Call
fornia poet. The Skagway News
says:
"This incident, which has caused
no end of comment to-day, has been
brewing for several days. When
the flag was put up on the depot
buildinj? the matter was called to
the attention of C. L. Andrews
United States deputy collector of
customs. Mr. Andrews found noth
ing in his instructions which be
thought justified the Canadian offi
cers in raising the British flag url
less the btars and btnpes waved
above it. lie according called upon
Mr. Busby and had a talk with him
iu regard to the proposed in nova
tion. Mr. Busby showed him a let
ter from the chief customs officer of
Canada, which stated in substance
that as American customs officials
operating on Canadian soil in con
ditions corresponding to his (Mr
Busby's) office, were permitted to
rly the flag of their country, he was
entitled to the right and to go ahead
with the flag raising. On the
hypothesis that the Canadian offi
cials would notgo on record with
uch a statement if it were not
fact, Mr. Andrews concluded that
Mr. Busby was within his rights
accordingly took no action in the
matter. The question, which bids
fair to assume international propor
tions as soon as the news 01 it can
reach Ottawa and Washington, is
being discussed to-day with the
mass of sentiment in favor of the
man who hauled down the flag. On
this strip of land, which the United
States has occupied undisputed siDee
the days of transfer in 1867, the
Canadian officials have gradually eD
croached unrestrained by the Amer
ican government. By leaps and
bounds the Canadian customs house
advanced towards fide water. From
Tagish to Bennett, then to Log
Cabin and lastly to the summit and
when the customs ensign of Canada
was hoisted at Skagway it is smal
wonder that some John Brown
would not wait for the action from
Washington, and cut down the

MacKnight, the Hih Point "Healer,"
An Ex-Convict-Greensboro
Dispatch, nd.
It seems that Greensboro has be
come about the healthiest place in
the rountry for sensations. People
had not ceased to talk of the won
derful gold brick case when their
time and attention were occupied for
three and a half days by the prelim
inary hearing of a sensational slan
der suit from High Hoint. Now it
appears that the central figure in
that case, "Prof." Harry P. Mac
Knight, is about to add another
chapter to the series. The sensa
tion is the suspicion, based on a let
ter and telegrams received here,
that MacKnight is an, ex-convict
and a swindler of note. The first
intimation of this came in a letter
from John T. Norris, a Springfield,
O., detective, who spent some time
here during the spring on business
in connection with the gold brick
case. Mr. Norris' attention was di
rected to the -High Point slander
case by newspaper reports and he
was impressed with the idea that
the healer, who occupied the center
of the stage during the trial, was
none other than Hiram P. Mac
Knight, who has served three terms
in the .Ohio penitentiary.He wrote
Sheriff Jordan, enclosing the follow
ing record of Hiram P. MacKnight.
"Third term in Ohio penitentiary
recorded as follows from Wood
county, Ohio, First term, No. 20,
093; second term, No, 22,218; third
term, No 23,154. Received the last
time March 18, 1892, aad discharged
Jarch 10, 1897. Age, when receiv
ed, 33; charge forgery; height,-5
feet bi inches. While in the peni
tentiary MacKnight was known as
the convict lawyer. He pleaded his
own case before ihe Supreme-Court
and succeeded in being discharged
on the ground that he was extradit
ed from New York for an offense
(larceny or false pretence) and tried
for forgery. His case is reported in
the 48th Ohio State reports, page
588, exparte H. P. MacNight vs.
State of Ohio.. He sued out a writ
of habeas corpus during his second
term, but lost his case, I believe
After serving his second term he
opened a law office in Columbus, O.,
married, got away with his wife's
property, deserted her, and went to
Indianapolis. There he committed
some devilment of some kind and
went South. Whether he is wanted
in Indianapolis or not I do not know,
but I am under the impression that
he is wanted there for some swind
ling operation, and I am also under
the impression that he is wanted in
Columbus, but whether a decree was
ever obtained I am unable to say at
this time. The man I refer to here
in is an adventurer of the first wa
ter, and the Harry P. MacKnight, of
High Point fame, bears very strong
ly the earmarks of the Hiram P.
MacKnight, late of the Ohio peni
tentiary."
Mr. Norris also enclosed two pho
tographs of Hiram P. MacKnight,
presenting a side and front view of
the face. Those who have seen the
pictures pronounce them a splendid
likeness of High Point's erstwhile
healer, though of course there is the
possibility of mistaken identity.
Sheriff Jordan is also in receipt of
the following message from the su
perintendent of police of Columbus,
O., "Indictment here for MacKnight
ootaining money under taise pre
tenses. Have been unable to find
prosecutor to know if he i3 wanted.
MacKnight and his wife have been
in Greensboro since the beginning of
the. High Point slander case, but he
could not be found today. The pro
prietor of the hotel where he is stop
ping siatea mat Maciinight ordered
a livery team a few hours after the
burial of his baby yesterday, stat
ing that he was going to take a drive,
He did not state where he was go
ieg, the proprietor said, and nd one
about the hotel knew his wherea
bouts. His wife and baggage are
stiu mere, it is believed that Mac
Knight went to the home of one of
two patients, both of whom reside
near High Point. A gentleman told
the Observer correspondent this af
ter noon that one of these pa
tients, the father of the prosecuting
witness in the slander case, paid
MacKnight $300 yesterday. Of thys
amount $100 was for treatment and
200 was for instruction given his
daughter.

Lightning Kills 1 1 Boys in Chicago
Chicago Dispatch, ist.
Eleven boys were killed and an
other probably fatally injured today
by a singular bolt of lightning. The
victims were fishing in Lake Michi
gan at the foot of Montrose boule
vard, on the North Side. Ihe fata
bolt struck the pier where they were
seated, and all were thrown into the
lake. Only one boy has so far re
covered. A policeman, attracted to
the pier by the crashing timbers,
found it impossible to rescue any of
the victims. The heavy timbers of
the pier had been shattered and the
whole structure toppled into the
water. He hurried to a patrol box
and called for assistance. Nearly
half an hour elapsed before aid ar
rived. The work of recovering the
bodies was extremely difficult, but
finally all were carried ashore.
Owing to the terrific thunder
storm prevalent, the work of identi
fication was extremely slow. Op
pressed by the extreme heat, the
boys had gone in bathing. When
the rain began to fall and it became
evident a severe electrical storm was
coming, they rushed to a shelter
they had built on the pier. Willie
Anderson, 12 years old, was ihe on
ly survivor of the shock that follow
d a moment later. The boy had
1 given ji bare idea of a horrible end
ing to today s sport and then he
Lfainted, He was carried to a near
by house, where medical assistance
was renaerea. The fatal stroke "ras
uthe most powerful seen here iu years.
the pier was demolished in a trice,
giving the boys not the slightest
chance of escape. In age the vic
tims ranged from 12 to 2o years.
There was one boy who saw the
bolt. But for him the dead might
have laid where they were for hours
and Willie Anderson might have
been suffocated under their bodies.
Percy Keane, clad in bithing
trunks ad watching from the water
station, thought he heard a scream
as the bolt struck. Mindless of the
storm, he rushed across the beach.
At the pier he heard a cry, " il.il p,
get me out!" He looked into the
cabin and in dismay saw the twist
ed bodies. Young Percy, cryiDsr.
pulled the dead men's arms and legs
to get them away. He saw Willie
Anderson s head and part of his
oody but he could not pull him out
.ior could he pull the heavy bodies
from on top of him. Then he tele
phoned to the police, who succeeded
after a,great deal of difficulty in re
viving young Anderson and recov
ering the dead bodies of the o'.hers.

Dr. A. S. Rose, the coroner, has
just performed the law's closing act
in a tragedy yet involved in mys
tery. On Saturday evening a col
ored man, while fishing in a stream
near Raeford, in the western part of
Cumberland county, discoverd the
body of a man in the creek, which
with some diffiuculty, was brought
by him and others to hnd. It had
been under water so long that it
could be. recognized as a negro only
by the woolly hair on the back of the
head. It was closely bound with
straps, had been sunk by heavy
weights, the breast was riddled with
baits, the face was gashed, and there
wsre other mutilation, as if retribu
tion had been wrought for cr'me.
So far, no one has been able to iden

died.
