Tile Sentinel's correspondent at Micha-l, Davidson county, writes that young Hedrick left home about one year ago. He returned a few weeks ago with a horse and buggy, which he said he had bought in Tennessee. He sent a woman, whom he calls his wife, on ahead of him on the train. A few days after he arrived home a telegram came describing a man and woman who had hired two horses and a buggy from a livery stable in Tennessee, claiming that they only wanted to drive out in the country about nine miles. Instead of -returning the ani mals they came to North Carolina as above stated. There.was a reward of $75 for the thief and horses. The de scription fitted Will Hedrick and wife (as he calls her) and a warrant for his arrest on suspicion was placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Fritts. Hedrick suspected something and gave the officer the dodge. Fritts summoned aid and pursued him. Hed rick went to his father's and when the deputy sheriff and his men came to look for him his father refused to let them in his house, threatening to shoot the first man who attempted to enter. Sheriff Fritts got a seaich warrant and went in. He found Hedrick concealed under the floor. He was taken to Lexington and lodged in jail to await the coming of the owner of the horses to see if he is the right man. A REMARKABLE RIDE.

Those Portions Relating to Tax on Rents and Bonds Were Deter mined Unconstitutional ( Washington, Apnl 8. lure was a great rush into the Supreme Court rcom today to hear the decision on the income tax easy. It will prob able not be reached until late"in the day. The officers of the court are troubled, fearing an investigation of their responsibility for an advance copy of the opinion becoming public. DECISION RENDERED. The United States Supreme Court this afternoon handed down its de cision in tne income tax case, xne court decided that the law in general is constitutional but those portions relating to tax on rents and bonds were determined unconstitutional. In other respects, the income tax law stands as it was passed last August, but as a result of this decis ion it is claimed that the law cac ab Piecsr provided suits are brought to contest each particular point as it comes up. The Chief Justice and five Associate Justices agreed upon the decision. Justice Field rendered a minority de cision, declaring the entire tax uncon stitutional. NO EXTRA SESSION. Tax Decision Will Reduce Revenues From Incomes One-Half. Washington, D C, April President Cleveland on being cd today whether in view of . decision of the Supreme Court on the income tax law an extra ses sion of Congress would be called, said that he nor the Secretary of the Treas ury saw any necessity for such action and unless there was an unexpected change in conditions he had no idea that Congress would meet again before the time appointed for its reg ular session. The effect of (he Supreme Court decision on the income tax law so far as the Treasury Department officials can determine after a hurried estima tion made this afternoon, will be a re duction of about one-half in the revenue originally estimated as ob tainable from that source, thus mak ing the annual revenue to be expected about $15,000,000. The original estimation of 830,000,000 per year was based on the assumption that the law would be held to be constitutional in all its provisions. Collectors of internal revenue will be notiiled of the decision and instructed to make whatever questions may be necessary through the de cision rendered today, in the blanks furnished them. No new forms will be issued and the work of preparation for the collection of tax will proceed. SHOT DOWN FROM AMBUSH. The Two West Brothers Brutally Assassinated, Ernest Sumner and Charlie West, the one fifteen, the other nineteen years of age, who resided with their parents, near Ardor, in Buncombe county, were assassinated in a most brutal and cowardiy mauner Friday night, as they were returning home from that place, just after dark.

Mr. Hicks' predictions for the month of April: The month will open cool and fair generally. About the 3rd it will be warm, and numerous storms will de velop, and it need not surprise anyone if a cool wave with frost follows the rear of the storms. The heaviest storms are apt to occur from the 22nd to 25th. If it is quite warm with South winds and low barometer, dan- gererous storms are probable. Your barometer and a close watch on the clouds will give ample warning. The question is have you made prepara tions to escape danger should it come.' Woukl you not feel more at ease to know that a refuge was within easy reach in case of the approach of a tornado ? Why not turn to the task and construct one without further de lay V The 27th to 28th will bring a change to warmer. Easter Sunday is on the 14th, throw ing it quite late, which fact according to tradition and the belief of many intelligent persons, indicates that much cold and unseasonable weather will be the order up to the middle of April. j he month promises to end fair and cool.

The Raleigh correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch says: The recommendation of Attorney- General Osborne to Governor Carr that he, on behalf of all other citi zens, undertake the inquiry into the alleged "ratification and enrolment of the bill by fraud and forgery," strikes right at the root or the matter. The clerks and others under suspicion will doubtless be called from their dark holes and put on the stand. The matter is likely to end in somebody's breaking rock on the roads, and working on the State farms at Weldon. Shocked by a Telephone Wire.

Fisrcs Ccmpstitien Urgss Men and Wcmsa to Thsir Utxojst. Ncrvts and Brain First Give Way Un der the Terrific Strain. Men die in the big cities like the trees, beginning at the top. It is apoplexy, heart failure, nerv ous prostration, shock, congestion of the brain and suicide that character izes the mortality lists in the great centres of population. A city teaches one to think quickly, to be always on the alert and quick to avoid danger, as well as to see the lucky chances. It is imDossible to go slowly, even if one has no pressing neea ior nurry. xne rush is contag ious, One finds bimself drawn alone- by the rapidly moving crowds and is soon hurrying with the rest. It is undoubtedly true that two-thirds of all the men and women one sees tear ing through the streets are in no su'-h actual haste. They are merely vic tims of this fearful habit of hurry. Rut whether the fearful rush is essential or not, the result is the same. Nerves and brains are exhausted, men and women grow prematurely aged, times of depression follow the high strung condition. The entire nervous sytseni must be rapidly and fully nourished to prevent utter prostration and collapse. It is estimated by phy sicians that Paine's celery compound annually saves thousands upon thous ands of men and women living in cities from breaking down under their work. It builds up the substance of the nerves and brain faster than it is torn down by even such prodigal waste. It cures permanently all weakness of the stomach, liver and kidneys, aud takes away any tendency of these vital organs to disease. The Revolt Spreading. New Yokk, April 8. A correspon dent of the Herald at Santiago dc Cuba writes to that paper that the revolution spreads every day. About twenty persons disappear every niht to join the insurgents in the field. Bands of insurgents are within two miles of the city. The government lias no troops on hand with which to control the situation, and has not taken any vigorous measures for fear of having the majority of the inhab itants join the rebels. The jurisdic tiou on the districts of Santiago de Cuba, Bayamo, Tunas, Holgouin and Manzanillo, Guantanama are in re volt, and a band of about five hundred men from the last district have gone to Uaracoa to protect the landing of General Maceo aud others.
