Town All Excitement, nine Hen In Jail For Complicity In The Crime. Wilson Dally Times, 14th. This morning about one o'clock a crowd of men more or less nnder the In fluence of liqnor came up Goldsboro street from the direction of the ware houses. Arriving in front of the Vienna Bakery, a two story brick building, over which are rooms used by lodgers and to which a stair case leads from the street they ascended and going to the room oc cupied by an Insurance man by the name of T. P. Jones, of Little Rock, Arkansas, who has been here about two months, they banged on the door demanding ad mittance which was refused. Parties on the street heard a crash as the door was broken in, then three shots, then some one holler, "Oh, Lord. I am shot; some one help ms." Then there was a scamp er of feet, and those who went up rapid ly came down and ran in all directions, while John Allen, who clerks in George Morgan's saloon below the railroad, ran out, leaving a trail of blood all the way to the Sanatorium where he was treated. One ball had entered his shoulder, mak ing a serious wound. Sovcral parties entered the room after the shooting. Among them Mayor Her ring, Officers Felton, Mumford and Snakenburg. They found the room in a state of confusion, and Jones standing in his night clothes. Mayor Horrlng could get nothing out of him except that he was asleep and these men rushed into his room and pounced down on him, beating him. In the scuffle he got ont of bed and reaching for his double-barreled shot gun that he had placed at the head of his bed, anticipating trouble be cause he had been warned to leavo town secured it and fired, the shot going wide of the mark, and Into the celling. Jones was weak and rapidly falling from loss of blood, and knew little. He made one requoat of Mr. Frank Felton to send his watch to his brother at Little Bock, Arkansas. Only three shots were fired. One went Into the ceiling, another Into Jones, which caused hts death and the other in to Allen, as we have before stated. There Is uncertainty as to, what caused the shooting. Some say that Jones haa'been gambling with some of these men since he came to Wilson and winning their money in a way thoy did not like, they decldod to thrash him and went to; his room and he fired first. The shot was then returned. Others say that Jones hat been keeping a negro woman' in his room and having been warned to leave town and refusing to go they went to his room to cither thrash or kill . hm with the above results. This morning the following men were arrested and pat In jail for complicity in the crime .and being In the party who broke Into Jones' room: Bam Walls, J B Piver, John Pittman, Geoege Whitley, W P Groom, W T Barnes, Lawrence Mor gan, WHRIch, Tom Bass, John Allen and Gil Ward. There is some question as to who fired the first shot, whether Jones, who heard them coming in, fired first in order to defend himself, or some one in the party, It is also uncertain as to who In the party did the shooting. Jones was shot in the lower part of the bowels and - died this morning at 7 o'clock." , There is no evidence that Jones fired other than with the gun, tho load from which tore a hole In the wall of his bed room. The .wound Allen received was from a pistol In the hands of some one In the party. . -;' r'V , The parties under arrest hare retained all the lawyers In Wilson to dofend them. . -f Jones said he was a nephew of Sena tor James K Jones, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and claims he has property in Arkansas.

CAUSED 110 STIR The Habeas Corpus Proceedings of Haywood Counsel. Railroad Wreck Blocks Travel The School House Loan, Edu cational Matters. Mar riage. Prisoners For Penitentiary. . Raleigh, May 13 The move of coun sel for Ernest Haywood for a writ of habeas corpus to be beard before Judge It. M. Douglas here May 21st has not aroused the interest here that previous incidents in this noted affair excited. The matter has by no means become the sole topic of conversatipn though the public does not appear Indifferent. The counsel for the prosecution, So licitor W. E. Daniel of Weldon, Senator Jno. E.Woodard of Wilson, Senator Dpnnell Gillian of Tarboro, Senato H. E iforrls of Raleigh and R. C. Strong, Esq. of Raleigh, were all here this morning for a conference. Only one, Mr. Norrls, was in the city when the writ was issued yesterday. One of the prosecuting counsel when asked If ho was surprised at the application for the writ replied "Of course we understand the object of the defense. The only matter of sur prise was that after Haywood had re mained in jail all this time they should show their hand so near the court term." All the proaecullng counsel expressed confidence that the Issurmce of this writ would bo successfully resisted and Haywood would remain In jail. One of Mr. Haywood's counsel said their only reason for this delay in ask In e bail was to get this case properly prepared. Now they had the evidence In hand and their Witnesses would be here. Mr. Jno. C. Winder of Columbus, Ohio, brotber-ln- law of Ludlow Skinner, the deceascd,has been here since Siturdaj. A wreck on the Seaboard Air Line at Merry Oaks last night blocked the track until 8 o'clock this morning. A coal car jumped the track and a dozen freight cars were derailed. A tramp, stealing a ride, was billed, his bead being nearly severed from his body. No one else was Injured and the track is now clear. Prof. E C Brooks of the Supt. of Pub lic Instruction's office announced today "In a few days rules and regulations governing tho $200,000 loan fund for building school houses will be adopted by the State Board of Education and then blaDk applications will be sent to the counties in order to secure informa tion about the districts desiring to bor row the money. No loans will he made until these blanks are filled out and re turned," There ' are now 110 local school tax districts in the State and 20 more aro to vote on the question while 136 others are considered favorable to local taxation and work will be directed largely to wards the latter. Letters have been sent to the County Superintendents to ar range rallies in these districts.

Raleigh, May 14. Mr. J. W. Bailey, for, the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Ant -Saloon League Is sues a call for a State convention to meet here July "lh hexU The purposes of the convention are 1st, the marshaling of the temperance forces for the battle at hand; 2nd; the reorganization of the executive depart ment; 3, the reelection of one or more field men to devote their time exclusive ly to tho campaign; 4, putting the work on an adequate basis; 5, forming the policy of the league. Every one inter ested in temperance is invited to at tend. The Raleigh police were in a stir last evening searching for traces here of Rosscau or Rassio the man who Bent a dynamite machine by express to the steamer Umbria in New York. The first telegram from New York stated that a coat belonging to Rosseau had been left in a tailor shop for repairs and that it bore the namo of Cross and Llnchan of Raleigh, N. C. Mr. Joo Bland a sales man with this firm remembered waiting on a man of that description about April 22nd and he bought a $22.50 suit and a Stetson still ha!. Tho man attracted at tention by his manner and remarked that he would not buy a prince albert because ho would bo lu New York in three weeks. Tho description tallied with the Aus tria would-be-dynamltcr except that Mr Bland thought his customer was tailor than 5 feet 8 inches. However, a later telegram last night stated that the suit belonged to R C Rivers, who formerly lived in Raleigh. Mr Rivers is now In New York in the theatrics! business. He was once mana ger of Ssnator Marion Butler's paper, then clief clerk to State Auditor Aycr and later manager of the Academy of Music here. He married an actress In Norfolk last summer.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin for week ending Monday, May 11, 1903. There has been some further Improve ment in crop prospects In North Caroli na during the past week, In consequence of the favorable conditions that pre vailed for farm work, hut crop growth has advanced slowly. The entire week was very dry except in the extreme southern and eastern portions where showers occurred Monday, May 4th, and Saturday, May 9th, with largest amounts at Wilmington and New Bern. The rainfall was very beneficial In that sec tion, and elsewhere throughout the State a warm rain is now much needed to bring up seeds, promote growth, and soften the hard soil. The temperature averaged over 5 degrees dally below the normal, and the deficiency In tempera ture had an unfavorable influence on growth; while moderately warm during the day, though nowhere reaching 80 de grees, the nights have been quite cool, and the days cloudy and windy. There was no Interruption to farm work during the week, and planting of corn and cot ton is now well advanced and in some sections completed. Lowlands are In excellent tilth, but there is Increasing complaint of the hard, refractory condi tion of uplands which are difficult to work. Planting corn on uplands is nearlng completion, but most of the bottom lands are still to be planted; late planted corn is coming up somewhat better than early seeded, but stands are not general ly good; some corn is being cultivated in the south portion; cut and bud worms aro Injuring corn to some extent. Plant ing cotton is about finished in the east and south, but elsewhere not more than half completed; the acreage will be large some farmers have good stands, but chopping has not commenced; more sun shine and warmth Is needed for cotton which is not doing well. Tobacco Is all set In the east, whore the plants need a warm rain; dry weather has checked transplanting In the north-central sec tion, where a large amount- of land Is prepared, and plants are fairly plentiful; setting Is now awaiting proper "sea sons." Tho condition of winter wheat and oats Is very diversified; some cor respondents report excellent crops, others that both have suffered much from rust and fly; wheat Is heading low and small, and the crop will be below the averago. Some peanuts have been planted; also swoct potato slips. Gardens continue to improve slowly. The Irish potato crop is very promising, and ship ments of new potatoes will soon begin. Shipments of truck crops and strawber ries continue. The reports concerning fruit Indicate favorable prospects for appleB. At the present time warm showers would be extremely beneficial. Job Open For Portuguese. Mayor Ellis received the following tel egram, yesterday, which indicates that the Portuguese here are in demand and for good wages. "Have railroad work In West Virginia for Portuguese immigrants at $1.50 per day, transportation free." It Is understood that this work is in the mines In West Virginia. A MINISTER'S BUSY WIFE, ' v .
