.. in -jail. ,
Dr. R. DuVal Jones, ". the coroner,
went to Dover yesterday morning and
held an inquest. A cornorer's jury was
empanelled and several witnesses ex
amined. The negro Test Hill was held
for tne "murder, with his companion,
Charlie' Moore, as an accessory.' -They
now await the action of the grand jury,
without bail, in New Bern jail. , . - j
Hill claims that Johnson first 'as
saulted him, stabbing him In the neck
and hip. ' Mooro "was also cut in the
shoulder. To offset this, a closed

by. Hill. ; 'yf:,
Johnson, after being stabbed, rah

into those cars, he found that he. was
on the other track of the Y. Then
he saw cars approaching on this track
also. It was then that he and is com

SAYS MEAT COST WILL FALL
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 3. Relief from
high prices on fresh meats is coming,
says Edward Cudahy, president of the
Cudahy Packing Company, who adde:
-''Lower ' prices are,. coming soon,
especially in beef. The season of grass-
fed, cattle has arrived and the heavy
run of medium priced cattle will bring
prices down with a rush. Pork, too
will fall,' but probably not until Jan
uary, when there will be a reduction
of about 10 per cent. By next Sum
mer - pork prices will have declined
probably one-third. The West is
harvesting the biggest crop in its' his
tory and prices of live stock are bound
to go down." . -

Messrs Hancock and : Bas-
night Make Passes at
! Each Other.
NO DAMAGE ' IS DONE
Republican ! County Con
vention Yesterday Was
' Slimly Attended.
. The Republicans held a very slimly
attended, county convention in the
court house here yesterday, but what
it lacked in numbers it made up in ex
citing events. Of the latter the most
sensational was a personal encounter
between Postmaster Basnight and Mr.
Robert Hancock. Mr. : Basnight . made
several passes at ' Mr. Hancock but
failed to. land, Mr. Hancock sought
to use a chair on his adversary but was
prevented by ,Mr. D. W. Basnight and
others who interfered. ' ? ' i i ?
It was strictly a Taft convention,
all the delegates being canvassed as
to. whether or not they were going to
support Taft.' Apparently the Roose
velt people didn't - want to get in the
convention as none of them showed up.
When it came to the question of
selecting delegates to the State con
vention, Mr. Hancock furnished some
additional diversion by insisting that
nobddy be appointed as a delegate un
less he would pledge himself to attend
the convention. As soon as a person
was named, Mr. Hancock would turn to
him and ask, "Will you go to ithe con
vention?" If there was a negative
reply or one that indicated doubt, Mr.
Hancock would insist on somebody
else being named. A lot of i me was
consumed in this way, but finally the
list was made up as follows:
Delegates, John Biddle, D. W. Bas-
night, R. H. Rowe and J. A. Morton;
alternates, J. F. Heath, Sam White,
J. S. Basnight and Mctf. Laughing-
house. '.
Delegates to the Senatorial con
vention were named as follows: W. F.
Gilbert, John Biddle, J. M. Harrison
and ' N. T. " Weeks; alternates, J.- L.

and W. C. Toler. i V
' Delegates to the Congressional con-
ventio"nT George Greenr W. F. Gilbert,
D. W. Basnight and John Biddle; alter
nates, J. M. Harrison, J. A. Toler,
J. G. Hardison, and J. U. Smith.
Col. Haucock precipitated a long
debate, conducted largely by himself,
over the question as to whether there
should be eight members . of , the ex
ecutive committee , or eleven. ' He
argued at length for eleven and though
SnterUpted several times was permitted
by the chairman to speak until he was
ready to sit down. In this fight the
convention voted against him. Mem
bers of the committee as selected are;
D.,W. Basnight, John Biddle, H. A.
Morton, W. F. Gilbert, " Robert H.
Rowe, C. B. HiU and N. T. Weeke.
Mr George Green, who was elected
by the convention as chairman of-the
executive committee, makes the eighth
member. I 'v
towards the shank ot the con
vention Deputy Collector J. G. Hard
ison offered a resolution endorsing the
Republican party in general and John
M. Morehead in particular. ' This
brought Mr. Hancock to his feet about
the steenth time. The delegates saw
they were in for it again and Mr. D
W. Basnight moved to limit debate
to ten minutes. Chairman Green held
this motion but of order. ' Mr. Hancock,
announcing his intention to speak till 9
at night, came out of his coat,.': -Everybody
began to look tick.- Mr. -Hancock
then removed his collar and tie, and
the faces of the detcgates blanched per
ceptibly. Deputy Collector Hardison
rushed to the reccue and all hands
breathed a sigh of relief as he consented
for the clause in the resolutions refer
Ing to Chairman Morehead to be left
out. "With this amendment, Mr. Han
cock voted heartily with the others
for the resolutions." ' , ,' ;
lhe temporary organization was
George Green, Chairman and D. . W.
Basnight Secretary Mr. Green was
made permanent chairman. ' Messrs.
W. F. Gilbert and D. W. Basnight

withdrew in Mr. Gilbert's favor, and
he was unanimously elected.

BREAKS NECK IN
FALL FROM PORCH
Kinston, Sept- 4. John H. Burke,
a prominent young man of LaGrange,.
met ; death in a singular manner at
his home there. Young Burke, who
was about 23 years of age, was talking
to his father on the front porch of
their residence, and was leaning against
a post when he suddenly fell to the
ground, breaking his neck. It is not
known whether Burke died from heart
failure or the broken neck. He had
been suffering from vaccination against
smallpox, an epidemic of the disease
prevailing in the little town, and was
very weak. He was seen to stoop as
though in pain before falling from the
porch. When the elder Burke reached
his son's side the young man was dead.
John H. ' Burke was very popular
throughout this section and was a
leader in social circles in LaGrange.
He was a partner in the mercantile
business headed by his father, W. H.
Burke.1 The funeral was largely at
