Greensboro, March 19.At the pre liminary hearing before a Justice of the peace here yesterday afternoon of Southern Railway Freight Conductors Tucker and Pritchett, and brake man Denson and Ward, on warrants charging them with wholesale larceny of freight in transit, the railroad was taxed with the costs, and defendants discharged from custody. Detective Ahern, who had worked up the cases, aim acted as prosecuting attorney for the railroad, being opposed by Attor neys Steele of High Point, Bradshaw and Bynum of Greensboro counsel for defendants. Ahern had only oae wit ness, Perry Vail, a flagman of the same crew, who had confessed his guilt and signed affidavits of complicity In rob beries of freight by the other parties. When sworn as witness Vail testified he knew nothing whatever about any of defendants taking anything, even denying having made affidavits to that effect although Ahern held the type written signed affidavit in his hand while conducting the examination. He was completely unhorsed, and prompt ly pa!d the costs levied by the justice. He declares he has plenty of corrobo rative evidence besides the confession of Vail, who Is under bond for ap pearance at court, having acknowl edged his guilt both before the Justice some days ago, and In the affidavits mentioned. A warrant will be sworn out against Vail for perjury. The other accused men, declare th?lr inuouce, and have instructed their attorneys to bring heavy damage suits again -it the Southern ior false arrest, Imprison ment, malicious prosecution, etc. The acciiRed are all prominent rulroa'l em ployees well connected and evidently popular, since there was a large atten dance of aympfitnlzlng treurts aul tel low employees present, who tendered them nn ovation when thn case were dismissed. - They have all lost their jobs on I'll, rt When V '.-iil I .mi af ternoon jo'u V.'

So great has been the busi ness done by the club that the steps have been badly worn by the rolling of barrels of bottled beer and other liquid refreshments up them and It Is said that Young bad been figuring on the advisability of having an ele vatoi put in.

July.. . , .. .. - 9.50 . ,T 9 r7 AT: JMSTOWN EXPOSITION Kaiser Karl VI Designated by Aus trian Government for Partici pation at 'aval Display In Hampton Roads. Norfolk, Va., March 20. From a special message received from Chas. W. Kohlsaat, commissioner general, of the Jamestown exposition, now in Europe, it is learned that the Aus trian government has designated the armored cruiser "Kaiser Karl VI" to bo one of her naval vessels to partici pate in tho International naval page antry, in the waters of Hampton Roads, during the period of the Jamestown Ter-Centennial exposi tion. 3 Some time ago an announcement was made by Austrian admiralty, that two vessels would be sent to the ex position, but this Is the first definite information in regard to the type of ship that is to be sent. Tho Kaiser Karl, was put Into com mission, October 1898, and is one of the finest type of cruiser in the Aus trian navy. With a displacemnet of 6,325 tons and a mean draught of 22 feet, the cruiser has a speed of 20 knots. Her armament consists of 10 large guns and some thirty sub-caliber pieces, and she has a complement of 500 officers and men. In all probability the Kaiser Karl YI accompanied by another vessel of the Austrian navy, soon to be as signed, will start for Hampton Roads, the latter part of this month, where they will remain until the 1st of July. It is also reported that Com modore Hermann Pleskett, will com mand the 'Austrian squardon. How the Real Ku Klux Looked. From "Reminiscences of the Ku Klux Klan," by Sally Royce Weir, in the April Metropolitan Magazine. They were all tall men, not under six feet, and looked still taller in their robes. These were long and full, with loose, flowing sleeves, and held in at the waist with a leather bejt. Each man carried two heavy pistols in holsters on the belt, and also a dagger. The robes were black, and. covered with all kinds of queer devices cut out of white cloth, and sewn on the garment, though some of the robes were trimmed with red. One had a ghastly death's head and cross bones on his breast, with de licate little cross bones scattered over his robe. The second had "Dead Rebel" neatly done In red, with spade, pick and headstone below, and as tbe third turned I saw K. K. K. in white leltevH f..vos his should ers. This man's head was covered with a long bag-like mask, such as they all wore, which, .came well down on the shoulders to conceal the beard. It was black, with holes for the eyes and nose outlined with white cloth, and the mouth set with the sem blance of grinning white teeth. He had white horns on his head, and from under the back of his mask long coarse, curly white hair, which looked as if it might have beeni made from the brush of a cow's tail, fell over his shoulders. He also had a long, flowing, white beard, which had been made out of wool. The one who represented "Dead Rebel" had a red mask, and the death's bead a white one. They had heavy gaunlet gloves on their hands, and their disguise was absolute.

Special Correspondence. Raleigh, March 21. Mention has been made of the fact that Peace Institute here will soon pass Into other hands. The Presbyterians if they raise the required money, $50,000 or the Meth odists, in case the Presbyterians do not secure the necessary funds. The fact is as stated by our correspondent few days ago, that it is not the Methodist conference or church mak ing the purchase but a number of prominent Methodist gentlemen of Raleigh to put up the required money. President Dinwiddle of Peace has made a wonderful success of the school, which has 83 boarding pupils and 90 day students. He could have sold the property for as much as $70,- 000, by dividing it, but showed the finest spirit by saying that he wished it to remain a school, and so takes less sum. Another very handsome thing in this connection is the action fotbe Methodist gentlemen-who had an option on tbe property and bad arranged to buy it last Thursday night, in standing aside to let the Presbyterians see if they could raise the necessary amount for the pur chase. There is much comment here on these two fine acts, rather rare in these days when so many people think only of the dollar or of selfish things. The fisheries in Alaska have paid the government more . in revenues than Alaska cost the United States. This is where the Argo Red Salmon is caught and canned. VInolia Items. March 18.

Ko Interest Taken In Lorn I Politics. Pur veyors De;ait for Mon tana. The Hoodoo Lifted. Special Corrsepondence. Greensboro, March 21. Some peo ple have pool and billiard, horse rac ing, cock-fighting, baseball, football, marble and top contests or tests of prowess or good luck. It remans for two worthy citizens of Rockingham . ' and Guilford counties to have a test of woodchopping agility, with the re sult that the Guilford man holds the championship. Mr. "Babe" Simpson, a strapping big Rockingham man, and noted as an axeman, has re peatedly challenged any man : in Rockingham or Guilford counties for ; a contest. Last week he met his overmatch by the acceptance ot his challenge by Bob McKnlght - a 165 pound negro woodchopper of Hills dale. The fun began by appointment at Hillsdale on Saturday, there being 50 farmers present as spectators and judges. Bob beat "Babe," (who weighs 209 pounds,' by cutting three trees down to his one and also clean ing him up in cutting logs. That sec tion ot Guilford is now crowing some over the Rockingham champion. About five of the fifteen miles of road between Greensboro and High Point are not maoadmized, the work being stopped midway a year ago in order to build some ' much needed road elsewhere. , The road surveyor Is now staking off the route for this five mile stretch and tbe gap will be filled at once, giving the two cities a first class road the whole distance between them. The closing exercises of the Guil ford College graded school will take place Saturday. The program, aa usual, will be rendered in Memorial Hall on Guilford college campus, ex ercises beginning at 10 a. m. In the afternoon Prof. C. S. Noble, head of the department of education at the University of North Carolina, ; will speak. The department of music will give an entertainment in theevening, beginning at 7 : 30 o'clock. Prof, R. E. Shaw is principal of the school which lias prospered greatly during the year. It seems difficult to arouse much interest in the approaching city elec tion. So far only two candidates are in the field for mayor, one being the present incumbent, T. J. Murphy, th other L. J. Brandt, at present a mem ber of the Board of Aldermen. ; . . ' Not a solitary man has offered tor an aldermanship. It ' Is understood that none of the present administra tion, except tho two first named for mayor, will be candidates for re-election. " There will be legalized pri maries under recent act of the legis lature for nomination of all demo-' crat'.c candidates for city officers un der the rules adopted by the city Democratic Executive committee. Ru mor Is busy with the names of sev eral prominent citizens for aldermen. among those mentioned being: E. A. Brown, John L. King, W. M. Barber, Lee H. Battle, Z. . Taylor, C. M. Van story, Samuel Mitchell, B.,,II. Merrl man, Samuel A. Boyd, E. P. Wharton, and William Love. None of these gen tlemen have indicated their desire to run, but some of them will probably be rpn any way. .Its an anomalous situation, but things may get mor Interesting from now on. Messrs. R. T. Hurdle and C. I. Long who have been in the employ of th Southern railway In Us civil engineer department left today for Montana. They go to take positions as members of the United States Surveying Corps. Their assignment is 40 miles from any . railroad, one of the gentlemen stating that they were going literally Into the wilds of Montana.
