Train Passengers Saw ' Church Fire. Raleigh, Feb. S3. Fire early this morning destroyed the Methodist Dis trict Parsonage here, occupied by Rev. Dr. J. P. GIbbs. The. building wu worth about $2,600 and was Insured. There wu a singular occurance at Garysburg yesterday. A passenger train on ita way to Raleigh wu passing that place when it was discovered that a church roof was on fire, the congrega tion knowing nothing whatever of It. Conductor Cain stopped the train and Informed the congregation of the fire, when all hands turned out to extinguish It. Among today's arrivals were N. B. Sinclair, Fayetteville: J. R. B. Carraway, W Dewey, New Bern; J. J. Laughing house, Pitt county. Nothing has been talked of here since Saturday afternoon save the shooting and killing of Ludlow Bklnner by Ernest Haywood. There was a stream of callers all day yesterday at the dead man's home. Today his brother In-law John H. Winder arrived from Columbus, Ohio at noon. The funeral services were held this afternoon from Christ Episcopal Church. S A report was widely current today that Ernest Haywood would suo out a writ of habeas corpus, in order to get leave to give ball, and that this would be done today, but one of Haywood's attorneys said It would not be done to day but certainly later on. The next term of the criminal court here begins March 39, Judge H R Bryan presiding, but as he Is a brother of the mother-in-law of Ludlow Skinner, of course he cannot try the case. On the other hand It Is said the solicitor of this district Is related to the Haywood's and that he will not be able to prosecute. It seems to be the opinion that the trial will not be delayed beyond March, and that the Governor will consent to an ex change of courts by which some other Judge will take Judge Bryan's place Haywood Is occupying what used to be the women's' cell, on the second floor of jail, quite a good sized cell. His people sent him a bed, a rug, etc, and his desk was also sent to him. Ho furnishes his own meals, these being sent from a res taurant, and Is said to have quite a good appetite. He has seen only some of his nearest relatives, and a few lawyers Yesterday his sister, Mrs. Brldgers of Wilmington, and his brother Mr. Alfred Haywood of Haw River arrived and went at once.to see him, In company with another brother Mr. Edgar Hay wood of Raleigh. There continues to be all sorts of ru mors as to the cause of the shooting, and one which was circulated last night and today was that there was an understand ing that the men would shoot on sight, A kinsman of Haywood said he believed this, though it was only guess work. ' It seems to be beyond doubt that Skinner had not seen Haywood In at least ten days, as during that period Skinner had been at the bedside of his dying mother, who was buried last Friday. Saturday afternoon Skinner left his home to' go for the first time In all that period to his office and stopped on the way at the home of his father, which It Is said he had not left over thirty minutes before he was killed. It Is farther stated most positive ly that he was in his office talking with Mr. Alfred A. Thompson one of his em ployees, and said to the latter that he would step over to the post office and be back In a minute; that barely five min utes had passed before some of the clerks In the offlee heard two shots, the second of which was the one which took his Ufe.'':;rv':,,r:-::.'v:, y-.i-s; ; - Your correspondent interviewed a most interesting witness of the shooting. The latter said he was in the post office lobby, saw Skinner there talking to some one; that Skinner was not at all nervous, and smiled, that he walked down the steps with him on Fayetteville street; that Skinner turned as If to go diagonally across the street; that the first shot wu fired when Skinner wu. about the edge of the sidewalk, that there wu no conversation between Skinner aud Haywood; that Haywood took aim and fired the second time when Skinner wu about half way between the sidewalk and the street car track; that when the bullet struck Skinner's hat tell off; that he pat his left hand to his side, walked across the street car track In a half circle and fell on the track with his face to wards his slayer, that Haywood stood between the south east corner of the postoffice and the southeast entrance, on the middle of the sidewalk; that Skinner was about S5 feet away when first fired at and about 85 or 40 feet distant when the second shot wu fired. It is said that Bklnner did not live more than half a minute after - he fell. never spoke and gasped throe times. He had on an overcoat. ; His pistol wu InJ the left hip pocket bf his trousers. - It Is the theory of Skinner's friends that he wu probably about 40 feet away from Haywood when the bullet struck him, and that having heard the first shot he had turned partially to see who was shooting and that then the bullet struck hint three. Inches to the left of the left breast, passing through both lungs, severing the aorta, smashing the seventh rib and lodging in the flesh immediately under the skin on the right side, having passed trsnsverely through the entire body. The calibre of the bullet wu 88. The killing caused a great deal of talk among the members of the legislature. One of these, a senator, wu heard to say to two others, that he thought the pres ent murder law dividing that crime Into degrees was wrong; that he baa for some time hand In mind the introduction of a bill to return to the old form of simply charging murder; and he made the ascer Uon that since the division of that crime Into degrees, It had Increased 15 per cent In North Carolina. . Fort Barnwell. Feb 80. Rev J B Newton preached a splendid sermon lut Sunday morning at the Baptist church here. His theme wu the life of Jacob. Our choir practice of Wednesday night Is attraoilng the attention of the people In and near the village. These meetings are well attended and are not only Inter esting and Instructive to the members of the choir but the social features are elevating and inspiring. Fort Barnwell girls were up to their usual standard of fine appearance at the festival lut Friday night. The boys were dull and possessed of a low spirit One of the prettiest girls in Craven a charming little maiden with golden hair and beautiful blue eyes, while ex changing remarks on the gallantry of the occasion, said, that all the beBt men were married. One of our townsmen has offered a $30,00 reward for the implication and sufficient evidence to convict the party who seat a certain valentine on the 14th The madam has drawn an unusually light rein on him since that time. She accompanies him to choir practice and requires him to be more systematic In his going and coming. This was "fun for the boys but It is death to the frog." The valentine was mailed at New Bern on the 13. Our clover young Supt. Mr 8 M Brln- son spent a couple of days with us last week visiting the schools of this part of the district. Mr Brlnson Is very enthu siastic over his public school work and fills his office with dignity and to the perfect satisfaction of the people whom he represents. He displays a very patrio tic spirit In as much as he has to neg lect his own personal business to a great extent, and the meagre considera tion which he receives does not prompt him to such a splendid discharge ot his official duty.
