Washington Dispatch, 26th, The court of inquiry, which is to investigate the controversial points in connection with Admiral Schley's conduct, during the Spanish war, will be composed of Admiral Dewey, president of thecourt, and Bear Ad mirals Lewis A. Kimberly and An drew E K. Benham, The court will meet at the Navy Department in Washington, September 12. Secre tary Long announced these facts to day. The judge advocate of the court has not yet been selected, and the prescript to the court, which is being prepared by Captain Lemly, judge advocate general, has not yet been completed. The scope of the inquiry will not be known until the prescript and order for the conven ing of the court are issued. It is ex pected that they will be promulga by the Navy Department tomorrow. Secretary Long says, however, that the proceedings of the court will be open and that the widest latitude will be permitted in the matter of witnesses and that Rear Admiral Schley will be allowed to be repres ented by counsel. T'he Secretary had nothing to say about the composi tion of the court, except that he thought it spoke for itself and to ex press the hope that the membership would be satisfactory to all concern ed. He pointed out that none of the officers chosen had, so far as he knew, expressed an opinion concern ing what is known as the Sampson Scbley controversy, and it was therefore to be presumed that they would enter upon their work in an impartial and unprejudiced spirit. Randolph Election Cases Compromis ed. A sheboro Special to Raleigh News and Obser ver, 26th, v The exciting: Randolph county election case, which was to occur at Asheboro tomorrow will not take place. The matter was compromis ed this afternoon by the Democratic Sheriff, Lassiter, voluntarily with drawing in favor of the Republican candidate, W. F. Redding, with the understand that the ease should be nol prossed and the other Democratic county officers remain unmolested. It seems that the elections in' the two townships were accompanied with so many irregularities as to amount to a farce and the canvass ing'board threw out the two town ships, thereby electing the entire Democratic ticket, whereupon the Republican candidates for sheriff, treasurer and register brought suit in the Superior court against the Democratic incumbents and sum moned eyery voter in the two town ships to show how each one voted. The trial was to occur tomorrow be fore Judge Coble. Able counsel was employed on both sides and party feeling throughout the county was running high. - The trial would have been a long one and would have cost possibly ten thousand dollars. To save this cost and bad feeling Sheriff E. C. Lassiter mada this offer, and lawyers for the plaintiff eagerly accepted. His self-abnegation makes him the hero of the hour. Sheriff Redding is a brother of A. E Redding, the Democratic representative, and has never been considered a Republican to hurt, he has been kept sheriff for years by Democratic as well as Re publican votes. A Boom for Roosevelt Launched. Kansas City Dispatch, 26th. - Fifty prominent Kansas City Re publicans today organized a 1904 Theodore Roosevelt Club. Its pur poses are these: "To secure the nom nation of Vice President Roosevelt for President in the Republican na tional convention in 1904; to have this convention held in Convention Hall, Kansas City, and to have Mis souri present a solid Roosevelt dele gation in the convention." A public meeting under the aus pices of the club is planned to be held in Kansas City soon, at ; which United States Senator Burton, of Kansas, and others will be asked to deliver speeches. The Drought a Judgment from the liord. Galesburg, Ills,, Dispatch, 26th. Injthe ruinous drought now spread ing over the crop districts, Rev. O. C. Bedford, pastor of the Knox Street Congregational church, of this city, sees .the hand of the Al mighty. In his sermon last night be told his hearers it was the pun ishment of God for national wicked ness and the turning away from prayer. "If this drought will brinj people to their knees in prayer and will cause the salvation of souls," he prayed, "then, O Lord, let us have the drought." Rev. Mr. Bedford maintained that the people of the United States are more wieked in some respects than the people of any other period in the history of the country. Family worship, he said, is being dropped and there is no power in the Church. God, he added, is therefore taking away the corn and is .thus leading the people to prayer. "Some people," be exclaimed, "will suffer from the drought, but this physical suffering will be less than if God gave the people plenty and all went down to hell together. If the drought will induce the people to pray, I hail the time when we shall have a still greater drought than this." Case of Criminal Neglect in Moores ville. Hobresville Enterprise. A case of criminal nesrlect was re ported to the authorities the other day in which Adeline Gaither, col ored, is the principal. A 1-year-old child lies day after day upon the hard floor without proper clothing and attention and the helpless child's hndv has become emaciated and in a bad condition, though life is not extinct. The woman was warned to take proper care of it and let off on probation. A bad complexion generally re sults from inactive liver and bowels. In all such cases, DeWitt's Little Early Risers produce gratifying re sults. W. F. Hall. House .Dynamited in Montgomery County. Albemarle Dispatch, 26th, A dastardly crime was committed at Nail's postoffice, Montgomery county, twelve miles from here, nlgbt before last. The house where Mrs. M. A. Smith was sleeping was blown up by dynamite and the oc cupant severely, injured. Mrs. Smith owns" considerable property and her home place consists of three houses. Oae of them is a large frame building, then a smaller house use for a sleeping room and another one-used as a kitchen and dining room. It was in the smaller house that Mrs. Smith was sleeping. Be tween the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock a terrific explosion was heard and timbers were flying in every direc tion. Three joints of dynamite were placed under the house, but as fate would haveTit, in the corner where Mrs. Smith s bed stood, no dynamite was placed. The lady is not inj ured externally but the shock she receiv ed ha caused her to take to her bed. Another bed in the house was blown through the roof; a trunk was knock ed through a table and a brooch which she had worn the day before was found up a tree in the yard, whither it was blown by the explos ion. Her niece from Montgomery, Ala., was in the - larger house aud was awakened by the screams of Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith was postmaster at Nail's and the government at Wash ington has been wired to send an in spector at once to look into the mat ter. Mrs. Smith is quite a noted character in Stanly and Montgom ery being a woman of mnch wisdom and business sagacity. She has doubtless several enemies and sus picion is pointed quite strongly to some of them as the perpetrators of this dastardly crime. The "commun ity is considerably aroused over the occurrence and it is to be hoped that the guilty parties may be brought to justice. An Insane Man Shoots Six Persons. Teavenworth, Kan., Dispatch, 26th. Michael Kelly, an insane man, to day at the office of the Robert Gar ret Lumber Company, in the busi ness district, shot six people killing one, probably fatally wounding and more or less seriously wounding four others. He was himself finally kill ed by officers who tried to overpow er him. The victims: John R. Gar rett, afed40, junior member of the firm of the Robert Garrett Lumber Company, died at hospital; Jichael Kelly, aged, 50, died after being tak en to the police station. Injured: Dr. Charles McGee, aged 30, shot in back and probably fatally wounded; Police Sergeant Wra. Dodge, shot in neck; wound serious; Michael Mc Donald, detective shot in leg, slight; Jos. Falthger, policeman, shot in hand, wound slight. Kelly had lived in Leavenworth for years and at, different times had engaged in minor business enter prises. He was arrested and ad judged insane. Garreit, and four others testi'3 ing against him. Aft er a year in the Topeka sylum, Kelly was released. He had been acting queerly again and had declared that he would kill the five men who-had sent him to the asylum For two weeks he has been practicing shoot ing with a revolver daily at the Fort Leavenworth range. Last night he drank heavily. Soon after 12 o'clock today he ap peared at Garrett's office and with out warning 'shot Garrett as he sat at his desk. Garrett fell to the floor and Kelly deliberately fired four more shots into the prostrate form. Leaving his victim for dead, Kelly ran to the rear of the company's lumberyard and began reloading his revolver. Presently he returned to the office to find Dr.McGee, who had been attracted by the shooting, bending over Garrett, Levelling his revolver, Kelly took aim at the physician and fired. The bullet struck McGee in the spine, and he toppled over near where Garret lay 2hen followed ah exciting street fight between the madman and of ficers who came upon the scene. Kelly, flourishing his revolver, dash ed through the lumberyard. He met Ike Healer, a laborer and shot him in the hand. A few yards further on he encountered Sergeant Dodge. The two exchanged shots as they ran. One- bullet from Kelly's reyolv er struck Dodge in the neck, but not before that officer had shot him in the shoulder. Kelly kept running and was sc or. confronted by Decec tive McDonald and Officer Fiather. McDonald dropped Kelly with a bullet in the neck. Dodge raised his revolver, but it failed to work and catching up with the murderer, he crushed his skull with the weap on. Kelly was carried to the sta tion in an unconscious condition. He died soon after his arrival there. Garrett did not regain conscious ness and died an hour after being taken to the hospital. Dr. McGee is still suffering seriously and it is belieyed he cannot recover. Dodge's wound is not considered fatal, while the wounds of the others are slight. The piles that annoy you so will be quickly and permanently healed if you use DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. Beware of worthless counterfeits.- W. F. Hall. Bryan Strongly Condemn? the Ohio Bolt. Cleveland, O., Dispatch, 26th. By a letter to G, A. Groot, promi nent in the Bryanite bolt in JOhio, W. J. Bryan has thrown cold water on the entire movement. In no un certain language he informs the bolters that they can expect no sym pathy from him. While not pleased with the repudi ation of the Kansas City platform by Ohio Democrats, Mr. Bryam em phatically sets the seal of his disap proval upon any move calculated to do possible harm to the Democratic ticket as nominated. The letter of Mr. Bryan came as &n answer to a letter written 10 him by Mr. Groot.

Hall. . Newport Stirred by a Shall. Newport, R. I., Dispatch, aoth. The screeching of a shell that proved to have come from the Unit ed States ship Kearsarge, and its explosion into fragments that broke a small piece of stone out of the new city hall building on Broad way and cut a limb from a tree near by, caus ed great conater nation among New port citizens shortly after 5 o'clock this evening. Half an hour later two officers came ashore from the Kearsarge, traced the shell to the city hall and obtained informatiom as to its passage over the city. They examined some of the pieces und pronounced the shell a one-pounder from the Kearsarge, after which they returned to the ship without making any explanation. Later it was learned that the crew was called to quarters at 5 o'clock. The crews took their positions, pointed the. guns and went through the work of firing. A Nordenfeldt Maxim automatic gun in the affer fighting top went off when the crank was turned. Immediately all on board were alive and the officers were making hur ried inquiries. The, crews in the top declared that a shot had been fired, but that.it had struck in the water just short of the wharves. The of ficers were thereupon dispatched to the shore, in order to assure Rear Admiral Higginson that such was the fact. On the warf a scared party of fisheraaen were found who declared that something had passed Over their heads screeching loudly. How the shot happened to be fired has not been-explained. The matter will be thoroughly investigated. . Murder in Henderson Couiity. Hendersonville Special to Raleigh News and Observer, 27th. la ugly murder was committed Monday in this county, in the Clear Creek section, Clem McCoy, a negro of bad reputation, killing Eliza Shipman, the wife of a negro named Joe Shipman. It appears that McCoy became enraged because he had been excluded from the church upon com plaint of some of the female mem bers, one of whom was Eliza Ship- man. A tew weeKs ago ricLoy naa charge of a festival, gotten up . for the benefit of their church, and fail ed to give an account of his steward ship, applying the proceeds to his personal use. "The brethren and sis' ers" strenously objected to this part of the program aud proceedings were begun to recover the amount due about $9. Upon hearing of the warrant, Clem surrendered the purse but it seems the trouble did not end here. The matter was carried before the church and the "erring brother" was deposed, upon the charge of em bezzling the church funds. Monday morning Clem, determined upon having revenge, procured a pistol and started out, as he said, to "kill every d n nigger that helped turn him out of the church. " Approach ing Eliza Shipman, he inquired if she had assisted in excluding him aud upon receiving a reply in the affirmative, he drew his pistol and began firing upon her, four shots taking effect and killing her instant ly. Only the small boy of the de ceased, witnessed the tragedy. Mc Coy7 is still at large, though parties are searching for him iu the moun tains. Shot to Death for Robbing a Clerk. Macon.JGa,, Dispatch, 26th. A special to The Telegram from Vidalia, Ga., says: "Frank Earl, a negro desparado, wha held up and robbed a commissary clerk, at Davis Camp, No. 2, on the M. D. & S. Railway near here last .Monday . was captured yesterday at Helena, car ried to Higgiston and put ia the town jail. - "This morning about 2 o'clock a crowd of unknown men took him frum the jail, carried him out a half mile from Higgiston and shot him to death. Earle admitted robbiug the clerk, but claimed he only wanted to collect what Contractor Davis owed him for work. Oa last pay day Davis had offered him his wages, but Earle refused to accept the money, Earle held up and robbed his clerk. " Seacoast Kailroad Sold. Wilmington Dispatch, - An electric railway system from Wilmington to Wrightsville Beach has been a dream of pleasure and convenience that has lingered in the minds of the people of this city for years and The Dispatch is glad to be able to announce with a degree of certainty that that dream will prob ably be realized by next summer. There is a well founded rumor that a change of control of the Wilming ton Seacoast Railroad has taken place and the transaction was brought -about through Messrs. HughMacRae& Co., of this city. We have also learned on the same good authority that it is the object of the purchasers to take up the question of conveying the present road into an up to-date trolly sys tem. This will mean a great thing for Wilmington if the plans are success fully car rried out, and there seems to be very little doubt about it. It will be a decided step forward for Wilmington and our resort will then be second to none on the South At lantic seaboard. Charleston and Norfolk, our neigh boring seacoast cities, have magnifi cent electric lines to their resorts and they are the making of those watering places. The ride from the city to the beach would be a great pleasure and would be extremely popular as a tide, to say nothing of ihe attractions by the sea The controlling interest in the Seacoast road has been sold and if the necessary arrangements can be made, we are informed, a first class electric system will be put in opera tion between W ilmington and Wrightsville Beach within twelve months. The Dispatch will welcome the day when such a trolley line is com pleted. ". It is easier to keen well than get cured.

' A National Scandal Raleigh News aud Observer. This paper has never become un duly excited over the Sampson Schley controversy. It has believ ed that both officers were brave and competeut, worthy of the high posi tions they have attained in the navy. Sampson blundered when he wired that now notorious telegram: "The fleet undr jny command," etc The telegram was literally true, but it was not the message that a wise and broad-guaged man would have sent. The fleet was under his command, but he was not present. His ab sence did not reflect upon him at all, but the eagerness to deny honor to others lost him nJuch popular re spect. But it did not forfeit re spect for his ability or capacity, or proclaim him envious or mean-spirited. His recent admission that he read the proof of Maclay's book, in which ScLiiey is said to have run away "iu caitiff tight," and is, in addition, denounced as a "coward," a "cur" and a "traitor." does, how ever, show the meanness of his soul and cause him to forfeit the respect of his countrymen. It shows that he was wiping that the students of the Naval Academy should be taught that the second highest officer of the American navy wa$ a "cur," a "coward," and a traitor." thereby showing a malice and spleen that was not far removed from traitorous conduct. The investigation had to ccme sootier or laer, and the na tional scaudal had to be cleared up. It isn't very nice to be washing the nation's toiled clothes in the full view of the whole world, but there seems to be no escape from it. Peace, Brethren. Raleigh News aud Observer. In the lust issue of the North Car olina Presbyterian, the editor re viewed some editorials in the Bibli cal Recorder, showing its illogical position, and said somethings that seem to have grated harshly upon the young editor of the Biblical Re corder, who gets hot under the col lar and uses this 110-degree-in-the shade language concerning the edi tor of the Presbyterian: "More than once have gentlemen been compelled to denounce the edi tor of the North Carolina Presby terian for publishing libalous false hoods. We regret the necessity of so far confirming their actions as t publicly say that in the Presbyter ian Standard he published last week a statement about the editor of the Recorder that is, to put it as mildly as possible false. It is a pity that our contemporary is so heedless of the truth." Peace, brethren. One day the president of the North Carolina Christian Advocate Publishing Co., aud the President of Trinity Col lege had a public fight on the train, and the next day the editor of the official orgau of the Baptist church calls the editor of the Presbyterian Stnndard a liar. If the brethren fight and use epithets, where will the ungodly stand? The Firemen at Charlotte An Accid ent. Charlotte Special to Raleigh News and Obser ver, 25th, - The first real day of the North Carolina Firemeus' Tournment was a decided success. The parade at 10.30 o'clock this morning was lengthy and in every respect a cre dit to the Are fighters of this State. The only incident to mar the pleasure of the occasion transpired this afternoon. In the horse hose wagon contest that took place at 2 o'clock, Henry Coffey, one of the members of the Asheville company, fell from the wagon, just before the plug was reached and received in juries from which it is feared death will result. The young man was taken to a priyate hospital and is receiving every attention. His in juries are of an internal nature. This incident cast a gloom over the afternoon's races, and should the worst come, Asheville will with draw from all further contests. The first contest was an engine contest for quick steaming and dis tance. There were only two en tries, Winston and Charlotte. Win ston won both. Time in quick steaming, 12 minutes, 5 seconds; distance throwing water, 211 feet, prize, $50. Second race, horse hose wagon race, first prize, $100; second, $50. Goldsboro No. 1 won first prize and Eclipse, of Goldsboro, second. Wil son's horse balked and the accident to a member of Asheville team kept both these companies from making any time. Durham's time was 44 4 5. The races tomoTow will be the best of the meet. A large crowd is in attendance, and Charlotte is roy ally entertaining the visitors. STATE NEWS. The L. W.

Chicago pupils will not learn the name of the hero of the naval battle of Santiago from their school his tories for the simple reason the books don't contain the information. The text book was written by John B. Mc Master and was placed in the city schools just before the war be gun. Liater eight pages wereaaaea to bring the work down to date, but the chapter devoted to the naval moyements fails to tell who led the American forces at Santiago and sent the Spanish men-of-war to the bottom. Admiral Dewev was given credit for the battle of Manila, but when the Santiago fight is mention ed the writer merely tells of the at tempt of Cervera to escape from the hirbor and the destruction of the Spanish ships and the capture of a thousand prisons. , A Durham Man's Narrow Escape.
