trial before three magistrates, in

was quite conclusive that the defend
ant was justifiable in shooting the
negro, who sustained a bad character.
Mr. Hine, at the conclusion of the
trial, was bound over to court in a
bond of $10,000, wh'ch he gave
The grand jury, at the term of
court failed to find a bill against Mr.

years of age, was arraigned in the

and threats was made to submit to

LOOKING FOR 1 EVOLUTION
A Durham!!- Takes a Pessimistic
View tif National Affairs.
The Durham correspendent of the
Raleigh News and Observer says:
Mr. D. C. Mangum, of this place,
who has been Clerk of the Superior
Court for this county and has been
quite prominent in several ways, and
who is credited not only with being
very well informed generally, but also
with being a very shrewd far seeing
politician, has of late taken up very
pessimistic views as to the pemanency
of our present Republican form of
government.
He says he belieyes that there is
now in existence a deep laid scheme
to overthrow t he government and es
tablish an Empire. He says the
scheme has its supporters not within
any one party, but that they are to be
found in all parties and that the
greatest number of them are at the
North and East.
John Shermnn, he suspects, is one of
the principal conspirators, and while
Cleveland is not now one of those who
is a party to the scheme, according to
Mr. MangumV notion, still he would
not be surprised if the "Imperial Bee"
is soon made to buzz in old G rover's
big hat
Mr. Mangum says that it would not
surprise bin to see the revolution ac
complished within five years. He says
the people are so cowed ttrit they
would make only a feeble resistance to
such a change. He thinks that we are
just witnessing the dawn of an epoch,
which has had no parallel in the his
tory of the country, and that great
convulsions will soon seize aud shake
this country, ile talks so well and
seems so thoroughly honest in his
views, that it is hard to avoid being
impressed, when he expresses them.
CAUSED BY CIGARETTE.
Kms'on Visited by a $230,000 'on
fiagration. The town of Kiuston, N. C, was
visited by a serious conflagration
a''out 4 o'clock p m February 28th
The fire broke out in Bryanfleld's sta
bles and rapidly spread to the wooden
buildings in the rear of Oettenger
Bros' store and the opera house. The
two main business blocks of the town
are in ashes or smouldering rums.
The flying spirks buroed twoor three
houses occupied by colored people in
another part of town. It is bv far the
severest flre ever known in Kinston.
The loss is fully $250,000 and the insur
ance in the aggregate is small.
The flre was uuder control at 6:3C
p m.
The Newbern flre engine arrived
there at 7:10 and threw water on the
smouldering ruins.
The origin of the flre is reported to
have been a cigarette stump, care
lessly thrown by a boy in Bryanfleld's
stables.
The Way They Do in Kansas.
From the Greensboro Record.
When they do catch a man in Kan
sas who has money they generally do
him to a finish, as is evidenced by the 1
following: "An unknown man was
found dead on the outskirts of the
town recently. revolver and $100 in
dsn were' fouo his person. The
coroner held an Tnquest and charged
$75 to defray expenses and bury the
body. The police judge fined the
corpse 125 for carrying concealed
weapons and kept the revolver. The
local newspapers which published the
obituary notice got the usual fee
nothing." -
Chinaman and Jewess Married.
Joe Lee, a Chinaman, and Ella
Moses, a pretty young Jewess, were
married in Atlanta, Ga., Monday. Tbs
groom wanted the ceremony performed
in open court, but the bride objected
because of the crowd of curious specta
tors. So they substituted the groom's
laundry for the temple of justice, and
the ceremony was duly performed.
None of the bride's family were in at
tendance and no Chinamen were
present. Joe Lee states that since he
cut off his queue two weeks ago his
fellow-countrymen have cut him.' Lee
and bis bride have been sweethearts
for a long tim, but is was only re
cently that she consented to marry
him.-

The board of directors of the Nor

holders with a statement showing the
exact financial condition 'of the Cfsm
pany. For t he year 18'H. the state
ment says, the gross earnings wer
6 10.340,452, an increase, as compared
with the previous year, of $3o7,s;5

The finance committee sought the
advice of several large security hold
ers, requesting them to examine into
the financial affairs of the conipinv
andimake such recomm mdati cis ms
they deem advisable in the interest, ot
the company and its security holders.
These gentlemen after Ihor. uglily dis
cussing the situation and cxunHiiug
the books reported that in their opin
ion the pavment of principal and in
terest of i he car trusts consi.it utes om
of the chief causes of present embar
rassment of the company.
Tlie shareholders believe that, a re
organization of the company's rbiancs
can probably lie effected within a
short tune owing to the absence of
complications in the position. In the
present state of the company's credit
it is obviously impracticable to dispose
of further issue- of its bonds or stock
at satisfactory prices.
The statement says further "we are
therefore of the opinion that the situ
ation can be best met by making a
reasonable reduction in the rate of
interest on the more recent issues of
the company's bonds (giving compen
sation therefor) and by as- sslng the
preferred and ordinary stocks to an
amount sufficient to pay off the entire
car trusts and the floating debt.
"This would place t he company on
a sound financial basis, andN by re
moving tue main causes of embarrass
ment, give it time to develop its
business and relieve the security
holders of the sacrifice which they
may temporarily have to undergo."
A STORAGK WAUBJiOUSK.
A New nd Valuable Knterprise for
Winston K-MUy for lutiiieNH,
It bas been rumored for some time,
that a storage warehouse, for the
storage of leaf tobacco and other per
sonal property, was contemplated by
one of our strongest financial institu
tions. The Sentinel is pleased to sta e
that the Wachovia Loan & Trust
Company, with its usual push and
enterpise, has arranged to do this
business.
Mr W. A. Wilkinson, who has been
here in the tobacco brokerage business
for some time, has been employed as
manager and inspector and will have
bis office in the Trust Company's
building.
Temporary arrangements have been
made for storing in the Orinoco ware
house and everything is arranged for
the business after this date.
The charges for storage will be $1
for the first four months and 15 cents
per month thereafter on each package
for which warehouse receipts will be
issued. Inspection charges will be
$1 per package. The charter of the
Trust Cqmpany allows it to issue
these receipts, which are negotiable
by delivery and we learn that the Trust
Company is prepared in its banking
department to loan mouey on. these
receipts.
In the opinion of some of the most
prominent tobacco manufacturers, no
more important enterprise has ever
beea started here for the upbuilding
of the tobacco market.
- The Wachovia Loan & Trut Com
pany deserves credit for its enterprise
in this and other matters fostered by
them. - ,

in the Htne Murder Casi.
After the examination of two or
three witnesses in the Hine murder
trial fast Friday afternoon, Solicitor
M ;tt arose and made quite a satisfac
tory statement to the court and jury
He said that with the evidence pro
duced he was convinced that the State
had no case against the defendant,
thr-refi-re it would be only a waste of
time to argue the case any further.
He then instructed the jury to return
the s;i rue verdict that he would render
were he one of their nunrber.
Judge Elryin coincided with the
Solicitor's way of thinking. A verdict
of "uot guilty" was thereupon ordered

BRITAIN OISCUSS1NG SILVER
The Commons Adopt a Monetary Con
lerrnce Itesolution.
London, Feb. 27. Mr. Robert L.
Everett, libera!, moved in the House
of Commons yesterday the bimetal'C
resolution approved by the Bimetalic
League. The resolution, in substance,
was that "this house regards with in
creasing apprehension the constant
fluctuations and growing divergence
in the relative value of gold and
silver and heartily concurs in the re
cent' expression of opinion upon the
part of the Government of France
and the Government and the Parlia
ment of Germany in regard to the
serious evils resulting therefrom. It
therefore urges upon the Government
the desirability of co-operating with
other nations in an international con
ference to consider what measures
can be taken to revive or mitigate
these evils. "
Mr. Henry Chaplin, conservative,
seconded , the resolution and pointed
to the situation of India as providing
the necessity of an international un
derstanding on the subject. Mr.
Chaplin also urged the Government
to open the Indian mints, provided
the other powers opened theirs.
