METHODIST PROTESTANT COLLEGE.
Steps Takea to Assure Such aa lastita
tioa at Greensboro Negro Killed
While Hunting.
Greensboro, Nov. 30. Rev. E. M.
Andrews and a large number of other
ministers and delegates returned yes
terday from the Methodist Protestant
Conference which was held at Bur
lington and adjourned Monday eve
ning. Rev. A. G. Dixon, of Hender
son, who was chosen as field secretary
for the college enterprise, is also in the
city for a few days. The conference
took active measures looking forward
to the establishmenr of the college.and
Rev. Mr. Dixon will devote his entire
time towards raising funds for the erec
tion of the building. Mr. Dixon is an
able and tireless worker and the con
ference is to be congratulated in secur
ing such an able man to have charge
of the work. As soon as sufficient
funds are in hand to justify the con
ference in doing so, work on the col
lege will be started.
The site chosen for the college is in
South Greensboro, just beyond the
terminus of the street car line on Ashe
boro street. It is an ideal location,
well suited in every respect for the
college site. Already a number of
building lots have been sold near the
college site and it promises to be one
of the most thriving parts of the city.

boy, was shot and instantly killed by
another boy, Matthew Pass, while

police station, arriving about 4 o'clock,
and surrendered himself to Chief of
Police Scott. Dr. J. P. Turner, the
county coroner, was notified and made
an investigation. He decided that
while the shooting was unintentional.
the boys had been pointing the guns
with hammers cocked, at one another,
which constituted an assau
wlf'placfrl'lri' tneTocktfp to await a
hearing before a justice of the peace
this afternoon. He will be given a
hearing on the charge of assault in or
der to learn the facts of the case.
BIG AND INTERESTING SUIT.
Chicago Courts to Handle Case ia Which
a Half Billion Dollars are Involved.
Chicago, Nov. 30. The largest
suit ever filed in this city or in any
city in the world, involving a half bil
lion dollars, was begun today before
Judge Kohlsat of the United States
court when the heirs of Alson C.
Stewart and Gen. Hart Stewart at
tempt to make good their claims
against the Pennsylvania road. The
heirs seek to recover for tbe use of sev
eral miles of Stewart avenue by the
railroad company and the principal en
trance of the road to the city. The
action will be fought bitterly.
The property in dispute came to the
original owners as a government grant
of land which they acquired when this
city was a mere trading post and is
ten miles from the present city. The
Stewart heirs gave the property to the
city, with the restriction that should'it
ever besised for any but the original
purpose it should revert to the heirs.
Tbe Pennsylvania got a right of way
and the heirs are suing to recover.
President Roosevelt's family is among
the claimants.

MR. LINNEY'S VISIT.
OF LOCAL IMPORTANCE AND SIG
NIFICANCE Dissatisfied Candidates Responsible for
the Lawyer's Stay Here Yes
- terday County Contest
Idea Laid Before tbe
Court
There was much speculation here
yesterday over the appearance of Mr.
R. Z. Linney, of Taylorsville. People
who were aware of his presence in the
city tried to put together all the sur
face evidence and draw a conclusion.
THE TRIBUNE tried hard to get a
story out of the busy Republicans in
their active and constant conferences '
with the lawyer, and as such he came, I
not as a politician. The fact that M r. '
Linney has a back seat in the Federal i
held would not kefmit of a suspicion
that there was any office or appoint- j
ment in any way responsible for the
presence here of Messrs. Linney and '
Newell.
The Tribune had a suspicion,
and working on that suspicion it fol
lowed one trail with a conviction that
it would lead to the seat of trouble.
It was several weeks ago reportc d
that several of the candidates who
suffered defeat in the recent election
were thinking of making an investiga
tion of what they took to be irregular
ities in the county and were consider
ing jhe question of making a fight.
This talk, however, died down and by
many was forgotten, but when Mr.
Liflney came yesterday and was met
by these same men, as well as later by
other prominent party men, THE
TjBUNE caught on and " developed
thetuspicioh. . There you are. Sev-
erafpf the defeated candidates had Mr
Limey and Mr. Newel) to come to
ord yeftefday andTTook into this
matter and talk over the situation, with
a probable view of entering a contest
over the county election.
This is what the conferences yester
day were about; the result we have not.
Whether the visiting gentlemen, after
looking" over the matter, decided to
advise a contest is not known in th's
office but it is known that this matter
was discussed at length yesterday and
it was for that purpose Messrs. Linney
and Newell came to Concord.
J. B. Duke a Benedict
Comden, N. J., Nov. 29" James
B. Duke, head of the American To
bacco Co., and a bachelor of 38 years,
was married here this afternoon to
Mrs. L. N. McCreedy, a wealthy
widow of New York city. The
ceremony took place at the home of
Mrs. Lewis Seal. It was a very quiet
affair and only a few of the most in
timate friends of the pair' were present
Mrs. McCredy is ten years Mr. Duke's
junior.
The ceremony as performed in the
parlor of the Seal mansion, which had
been converted into a bower of flowers
with white roses, white chrysanthe
mums and palms. Every effort was
made to keep the affair as quiet as
possible. The officiating clergyman
was the Rev. Marshall Owens, pastor
of the Centenary Methodist Episcopal
church. Information was refused as
to who were present besides Mr.
Duke's brother, B. N. Duke, except
to say that there were no more than
ten persons, all relatived. . Mr. Seal is
president of the Consolidated stock
exchange, of Philadelphia, and a close
personal friend of Mr. Duke. It is
said that the pair will start for a honey
moon trip through Europe immedi
ately. " The news of Mr. Duke's mar
riage astonished his social and business
friend in this city. He kept his in
tentions very quiet and allowed no in
timation of his marriage plans to leak
out His friends bad long considered
him a confirmed bachelor. .." ;'-. ' "
