Greensboro, June 6. Friday and Sat
urday of last week, several dwellings
on the suburbs of the city were enter
ed in broad daylight by a bold negro
thief and .various articles of clothing
stolen. Saturday afternoon Chief of
Police Needley received a phone mes
sage from Mrs Schoolneld on North
Greene St, stating that she had just no
ticed a negro emerge from one of ths
rooms of her home and that a suit of
clothes belonging to Mr Schoolfield was
missing. , Chief Needley got inabugy
with a gentleman who happened to be
going in that direction and they met a
negro, she said his name was Will Gas
ton on Bat'.le Ground Avenue with the
clothes under his arm. He made no
resistence whatever. He was carried
to police headquarters. Upon search
ing him Chief Ne dley found Mr School
field's bank book and several articles
of jewelry. Gaston told all about
where he had disposed of articles
stolen from other residences and they
were recovered.
- Deputy Marshall Joe T. Millikan ar
rived from Wilkesboro on the noon
train Saturday with nine prisoners,
six men, and three boys, who had been
sentenced in the Federal court there
in Judge Boyd's. ''round up" of defen
dants convicted during the week of
violating the Internal revenue laws.
Although the Federal court forWilkes
boro has been established for Several
years, this court is the nrst session at
which there have been any regular
trials. .One of the returning officers
said it now looked like in the future,
it will be the biggest court in the dis
trict for the trial of blockade cases
unless Judge BoyJ's announcement,
that in future all cases of conviction or
submission of moonshining, would be
punished by sentence to the peniten
tiary st Atlantainstead of a short
term in the county jail, or release on a
small fine, had the effect of breaking
up the blockade habit-- From the fact
that in the Federal court in Greens
boro, in the trial of the revenue fraud
cases, every section of Wilkes county
had had itself held up the public mirror
in complimentary manner, and promi
nent men have been here as witnesses
and have exposed the condition of af
fairs under the old order of things, it
had been expected that Wilkes county
blockading would cease. The cases
tried last week however, were new
ones, where men had been caught
operating distilleries since the expos
ure so notably made in the Samuel and
other trials here last January. One
reason given ior the large crop of new
offenders, is tltat under the new regime
if revenue officers and deputy mar
shals, there is no further "winking
at" such offenders, the consequence
being the detection and arrest of law
breakers, none of them having a "pull
on the local officers. - Whatever the
reason may be, there was general con
sternation in Wilkes Friday among law
yen, friends and relatives of the de
fendants when Judge Boyd caused a
wholesale and (involuntary exodus of
nine white citizens - to Atlanta and to
Washington., The six men were taken
to Atlanta last night to begin their
terms in the penitentiary. The three
boys will remain in jail here until
Wednesday, when they will be carried
to the government reform School
there. v .
Mr. W. J. Hooker has- moved his
family here from Trinity, Randolph
county and will reside here in the fu
ture.
Mrs, C. G. Ahern and children ar
rived this morning from Atlanta to
join her husband, who is the chief of
secret service on this division of the
Southern Railway, and who will reside
here in the future.
There are now fifty-six automobiles
in Greensboro, and the formation of an
automobile club will be effected this
week. The latest purchasers of auto
mobiles are Dr. L. M. Humphrey, the
dentist, and C T, . Fuller, manager of
the opera house; Mr. Fuller's ls regu
lar stage coach and he will use it, cary
ing passengers during the summer sea
son from Hickory to Catawba Springs.

A June .Wedding of Great Social
importance.
Srlds end Groom Ars Promlnsnt In Society

Followsd by Reception st Residence
ol Brldt't Parents..
No wedding in years has claimed the
social importance, as that solemnized
yesterday afternoon, It the First Pres
byterian Church, by Rev. J. G. Garth.
The prominence of the contracting
parties themselves, hi connection with
the social church and business promi
nence of the families on both sides,
made the marriage of Miss Annie
Slover Stevenson, oldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. M. DeW. Stevenson, and
Mr. Edward K. Bishop one of unusual
interest, both In New Bern, and out
side of this city, for the beautiful and
charming bride has a wide circle of
f rieirfs and acquaintances in this State,
and beyond this State, and her family
here stands as one of the oldest and
most illustrious, with a wide circle of
relatives.
Mr. Edward K. Biahou. has alwavs
been prominent in local circles, social,
church and business, and no gentleman
commands a finer personal record, or
bears a higher character for integrity.
He is connected with some of the lead
ing families of this city.
With such personal characteristics of
the contracting parties, and the promi
nence of their relationship with so
many leading families of this city, the
announcement of the engagement, fol
lowed by the date of marriage, has
caused more than the usual social sen
sation, so that yesterday afternoon,
the culmination of courtship and en
gagement, in the beautiful marriage
ceremony, was enough to cause the
great gathering at the church, bringing
together people who took a personal
interest in witnessing the event, and
who felt, if they did not verbally ex
press
There's a bliss beyond all the minstrel
has told,
When two, that are linked in one heav
enly tie.
With heart never changing, and brow
never cold.
Love on thro' all ills, and love on till
they die.
The church was beautifully decroated
with bamboo, festoons of the vine
reaching from the ceil!ng down to the
chancel, which as banked in palms
and ferns and white hydrangea. Bam
boo was also entwined around the pil
lars and chancel rail.
Mrs. J. G. Dunn, sister of the bride
attended the bride as dame of honor
and the bridesmaids were Misses Agnea
Gates Foy and Margaret S. Smallwood,
Mr. Jesse S. Claypoole acted as best
maa, and Messrs. Mark De W. Steven
son, Jr; and Wm. Hollister Stevenson,
brothers of the bride, entered, followed
by the ushers,. Messrs. J. G. Dunn and
J. T. Hollister with the bridesmaids.
The bride entered on the arm of her
father, M. De W. Stevenson, Esq, who
gave her away. . The bridal robe 'was a
beautiful creation of white crepe de
chine with pearl trimmings with tulle
veil. ' The bride carried a large boquet
of brides roses. The bridesmaids were
attired in white organdy with picture
hats and carried pink carnations,
The bridal party entered the church
by the strains of Mendlesohn's wedding
march, played by the organist, Miss
Sadie Congdon and in leaving the
church were played Lohengrin's march.
Immediately after the ceremony at
the church a public reception was given
at the home of the bride's parents on
Pollock street which was very largely
attended. Light refreshments were
served.
. The bridal presents were many and
covered a wide range in variety in brie
a-brac, silver, cut glass, china in costly
Japanese ware and furniture. Many
gifts coming from friends and relatives
outside of this city. '
Mr. and Mrs. Bishop left on the
steamer Neuse last night for New
York .and will make a trip down the
St Lawrence, visiting Montreal and
Quebec and will spend most of their
time in Canadian resorts, returning to
this city next month. '

Special Correspondence.
Greensboro, N. C., June (5 At the
quarterly meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce last night the reports made
by the various committees were all en
couraging and showed that the organi
zation is doing more and better work as
its age increases. The report of the
committee through President Battle on
increased railroad facilities was to the
effect that while the committee had
nothing that it deemed prudent to di
vulge, yet the situation was Such he felt
that he could satisfactory say that be
fore the end of the year the announce
ment would be definitely made that a
new line of railroad would enter Greens
boro, giving it additional and better
facilities than those offered by the
Southern Railway.
Active steps were taken to complete,
the raising of one thousand dollars for
the building fund of the Lutheran Col
lege, about half the amount being now
raised. This college being built by the
Lutheran Church for the colored will be
completed by the first of the year. The
buildings are of brick and stoae and
now have reached the second story.
They will cost $30,000.
There was a joint meeting of the
County Commissioners and the High
way Commission last night to hear re
ports from the committee appointed to
investigate conditions at the county
convict camp. In view of criticisms
made from certain quarters since the
shooting to death of McMillan and a
negro, who tried to escape,; a full Inves
tigation of this occurrence and other
conections at the camp was instituted
by the Highway Commission. AH the
evidence was in the shape of deposi
tions from guards, convicts, overseers
and the superintendent Many of the
convicts said they had no fault to find
of their treatment The food was good
and plentiful and there was no cruelty.
A few stated that they had a hard time
and were worked too hard. -
J. Harper Johnson, a member of the
Highway Commission, who fives near
the camp and has had opportunity .to
observe has been examined and his
deposition taken. It was favorable to
the management of the camp. So was
that of John Holton, a farmer living
near the camp. A deposition from
Major Mclver, superintendent in
charge of the camp, was to the effect
that, he had had experience with a
great many camps and the one in charge
of the Highway Commission was as
good aB any of them.
The whole agitation of the convict
matter grew out of the alleged dying
statement of McMillan, that convicts
were treated terribly at the camp. The
Industrial News which has been trying
to make capital out of this, itself,
shows that McMillan was not worthy
ot belief, even when dying. In its issue
this morning it shows the result of first
class news enterprise, by the published
fact that McMillan was not Brent A.
Morey as he declared with his expiring
breath, but that his right name was
Brent A. Neal of Lexington,-Ky., and
that he had served time in the Nebras-
ka penitentiary and was a recognised
swindler and confidence man as far off
as Minnesota for a number of years,
United States District Attorney Hol
ton was here today, returning home
from Marion, McDowell county, where
he has been in conference with the
county authorities and the Italian Con
sul located at Charleston, 3. C over
the reported cruelties practiced on Ital
ian laborers tby the contractors build
ing the North Western Railroad. At a
riot In one of the camps, two weeks
ago, two Italians were killed, and nine
were lodged in jail subsequently on a
charge of conspiring to kill an over
seer. The Italian consul went there to
see what was the trouble and if half
of what is reported of conditions are
true, there will be a claim for damagea
lodged by the Italian government
against the United States as well aa
indictments kt the United States courts
for violation of the statute against
peonage. '

Mention was made yesterday of the
resignation of Sheriff Page of this
county because of the enactment by
the last legislature of a law cutting
down the fees of sheriffs on collections
and taxes. The sheriff says that the
legislature in doing this robbed him. It
is learned from prominent citizens here
that the bill which brought this about
was passed without the knowledge of
the Wake members of the legislature
and that they were not aware that
there was such a law until thirty days
after it had become one.
There is some inquiry as to who will
be the postmaster here, that is whether
Mr. Bailey will succeed himself or
whether there will be any change. It
is said there are several aspirants for
the position.
